Chapter 725
Beijing.

"Xiaoqiang, don't tell others about my return." Lou Xiao'e warned.

"Okay, Sister Lou, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you."

"That's good, wait for me to settle down and treat you to dinner."

Wave goodbye.

Zhou Qiang went home.

Lou Xiao'e went to the hotel in a lady's attire.

A small courtyard near the courtyard.

Here Zhou Qiang has been rebuilt.

It is said to be repaired, but it is actually demolished and rebuilt.

A two-story small western-style building was built.

There is an indoor kitchen and bathroom.

The three children of Zhou Qiang's family lived on the second floor.

Zhou Qiang and Wang Meili lived on the first floor.

"Brother Qiang is back!"

"Dad is back!"

Zhou Qiang went to Hong Kong Island for a few months, and it was inevitable to celebrate when he returned home.

"Come on, these are your clothes, they are available all year round, try them on."

"This is a specialty from Hong Kong Island. Let's see if it tastes good."

"Xiao Gan, go and call your Aunt Fang, and ask her to fetch things." Zhou Fang still lives in the courtyard.The house they want to divide is still under construction.

"Yingying, go to the street office, find your Grandma Wang, call her there, and tell your Aunt Juan and Uncle Sheng to come over. Remember to bring your Grandma Wang here with you."

Zhou Qiang brought back a lot of things, not only from his family, but also from relatives and friends.

At home, in the factory, because of Zhou Qiang's return, there must be some excitement.

Zhouzhuang, Wangzhuang, and Zhou Qiang also found time to give gifts.

In the next few months, Zhou Qiang was busy with business.

He is running boldly forward.

"Orders, there are a lot of orders coming back from Hong Kong Island!"

"Milk powder is in short supply!"

"Beef and mutton are in short supply!"

Zhou Qiang's business is booming.

After Lou Xiao'e returned to the capital, she was not idle.

After inspecting the market, she went to the relevant department and asked for their house.

Then, invest in other businesses.

this day.

noon.

Lou Xiaoe called Zhou Qiang to Lou's house.

"Xiaoqiang, I have chosen a good location. It must be a good place to open a high-end hotel there. Should you call Sha Zhu over and let's discuss it together?"

"Okay, Sister Lou, do you have a phone here? I'll call Sha Zhu now."

Zhou Qiang got up to make a phone call.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Qiang. I'm looking for the director of the cafeteria, He Yuzhu." At this time, He Yuzhu has become the director of the cafeteria, and he has been promoted and made a fortune.

"Hey, Xiaoqiang? What's the matter? You are a busy person, and you still have something to do with me?" He Yuzhu knew that Zhou Qiang was busy.

Zhou Qiang has undergone major changes in the past few years.

Zhou Qiang's living conditions have been changing.

If a person's thoughts and thoughts have not changed ten years ago and ten years later, then this person has lived in vain.

Everyone in the courtyard admired Zhou Qiang.

Their common impression: Zhou Qiang is too powerful.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you know Lou Bancheng? Do you know where Lou's house is?"

"Lou Bancheng? The Lou family? I know, that's it."

"Yes, it's here. You should be free now. Come here. I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay." He Yuzhu didn't ask much.

Soon.

He Yuzhu came on a bicycle.

His means of transportation are far worse than Zhou Qiang's.

When Zhou Qiang was in his 60s, he was riding a motorcycle.

Now I drive a car.

In the future, Zhou Qiang plans to play with private jets and yachts.

"You are Lou Xiao'e?!" He Yuzhu looked surprised.He didn't expect that someone from the Lou family would come back many years later.

"Silly Zhu, long time no see." Lou Xiao'e was a little excited to see the people in the courtyard again.

"Are you back?" He Yuzhu knew nothing about Lou Xiao'e.He seems to have never left the capital.

In this day and age, there are many people who have never been to other places in their lives.

In later generations, this is much less the case.

"Brother Zhuzi, Sister Lou has been in Hong Kong Island before, and she just came back a while ago," Zhou Qiang roughly introduced.

"Hong Kong Island? Xiaoqiang, when you went to Hong Kong Island to give a lecture last time, you met Lou Xiao'e, right?" He Yuzhu made up his mind.

"Yes, that's when we met."

Several people exchanged a few pleasantries and became acquainted.

"Sizhu, I want to invest in a high-end hotel, and I want to invite you to be the head chef." Lou Xiao'e invited.

"I'll be the head chef? I'm afraid I don't have time for this." He Yuzhu didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to agree.

"Shazhu, I asked Xiaoqiang about your situation. You must be free in the afternoon. You still have many apprentices. If you bring them over to manage the back kitchen, it will be fine."

"This time can be squeezed out, but I can't resign at the rolling mill." He Yuzhu was reluctant to leave the canteen of the rolling mill where he had worked for many years.

"You don't need to resign, you are working two jobs, one salary at the rolling mill and one salary at my hotel every month.

And I guarantee that the salary in the hotel is at least three times that of your rolling mill. "

"The salary is quite high." He Yuzhu was a little moved.His two sons are getting older and are going to get married, so there are many places to spend money.

"Let me interject." Zhou Qiang said, "Sister Lou, Brother Zhuzi, can you see if this works? Sister Lou pays money, Brother Zhuzi provides technology, and you jointly open a hotel. According to your contribution, you can share the money you earn every year. "

"Split?" Lou Xiao'e was taken aback, then suddenly smiled, "Xiaoqiang, you are deliberately favoring Shazhu in front of me."

"There's no need to share, I just get paid." He Yuzhu also understood Zhou Qiang's meaning.

"Actually, the division is quite reasonable." Lou Xiao'e took the words, "It's because I didn't think carefully.

Now there are many rich people, but there is a shortage of chefs with real skills.

Silly Zhu, in this hotel, you invest in technology and I contribute funds.

Let's calculate how much you share every year according to the ratio. "

"Is this appropriate?" He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed.

"It's appropriate, you should do this. In the future, you, silly Zhu, will also be the owner of our hotel, and you will also be responsible for managing the hotel."

"What kind of hotel do I manage? I'm only in charge of the back kitchen, as long as I manage the back kitchen well."

"I'll leave the kitchen to you."

"no problem."

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Eighty-three years.

There has been a little change in the courtyard.

Big Mom is gone.

He walked suddenly, cleanly, and didn't bother anyone.

It's just that after the big mother left, Yi Zhonghai's food became a problem.He can't cook.

Fortunately, there are Shazhu and Zhou Xiaoxia to help.

Shazhu and Lou Xiaoe's hotel has opened.

He packs meals from the hotel every day.

Go back and ask Yi Zhonghai to have dinner together.

Silly Zhu is taking care of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai handed over his monthly pension to Zhou Xiaoxia.

Sha Zhu refused to accept it, but Yi Zhonghai insisted on giving it, and Sha Zhu couldn't stop him.

If there is no accident, Yi Zhonghai's house in the future will be left to Sha Zhu.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai still had to rely on Sha Zhu for his retirement.

Ever since Sha Zhu earned money by working in a hotel outside, the people in the courtyard finally couldn't sit still.

First there was Zhou Qiang, who opened a factory and a company and made a lot of money.

Then there is Silly Zhu who works as a cook outside, making things very popular.

People in the courtyard all want to go to sea to make money.

The first to act was Xu Damao.

Xu Damao and Shazhu are rivals.

If there is any disturbance in Shazhu, Xu Damao will definitely take action.

Silly Zhu works as a cook in a big hotel outside, earning a lot of money, and everyone in the courtyard is jealous.

Xu Damao got angry even more anxiously.

He will never allow Shazhu to live better than him.

Xu Damao thought for a few days, and finally came up with a solution.

He went to Liu Haizhong in the backyard to resell unplanned steel together.

Steel products are in short supply, and many people want to buy them, but they are out of stock.

One of Liu Haizhong's apprentices works as the director of the branch of the rolling mill. Through this relationship, he can get some unplanned steel products.

Although it is not a long-term business, it can make a lot of money in a short period of time.

Within a few months, Xu Damao put on a big gold chain and a suit, and he trembled.

Liu Haizhong is also put on, drinking small wine every day, eating a few dishes, and eating more fat.

Liu Haizhong's two sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are still living in the courtyard, and they are more filial to Liu Haizhong.

It's just that Liu Haizhong's habit of beating his son has not changed.

The son who was beaten from time to time was black and blue.

For the sake of the house, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu continued to endure.They divided the house equally.

In the courtyard, Yu Li was the second to move.

She is Yan Bugui's daughter-in-law and Yan Jiecheng's wife.

She wanted to open a small restaurant, but she had no money and no cook.

On this day, she and Yan Jiecheng asked Yan Bugui and Sanma to borrow money.

"I can lend you money, but, I mean, but, there must be interest." Yan Bugui calculated carefully and never let his son or daughter-in-law take advantage of him.

"Dad, what interest do you want? Yu Li and I opened a restaurant. You can pay for the shares and get dividends every month." Yan Xiecheng said.He wanted Yan Bugui to contribute the money and bear the risk together.

"That's impossible. If we lose money, your mother and I will have to drink the northwest wind." Yan Bugui loves money, but he is not very courageous, and he can't make a lot of money.

"Then dad, how much interest do you want?" Yu Li asked.In fact, she didn't want Yan Bugui to invest money in shares, and if she made money, she would give some of it to Yan Bugui.

"It's not much, and it's ten percent interest." Well, Yan Bugui opened his mouth wide, and the interest was much higher than the bank's interest.He was sure that Yan Xie was a husband and wife and had no place to borrow money.

"Ten percent interest? Dad, you are stealing money!" Yan Jiecheng was in a hurry.Yu Li was also dumbfounded.

They knew that Yan Bugui loves to plot, but they didn't expect to add trouble and plot to death.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to? Don't want to borrow money from me?" Yan Bugui wasn't embarrassed at all, on the contrary, he was a little proud, as if he could calculate again.

"Let's think about it." Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng left.

"His father, isn't the interest you want a bit high?" asked the third mother.

"It's not high, it's because they are begging us, we should ask for more interest." Yan Bugui calculated that he lost his family affection.

Yan Bugui's initial calculation was to survive.

Calculating now, obviously not.

In the past, 'calculation' was Yan Pugui's tool.

Now, the 'calculation' has tied up Yan Bugui, making Yan Bugui a tool for 'calculation'.

The cart before the horse.

But this kind of thing is too much.

Many people have become tools.

Yan Xiecheng's family.

"Very good, my dad is too ruthless." Yan Jiecheng looked helpless and angry.

"Yeah, it's very profitable. We can't afford this 'usury'." Yu Li was also very helpless.

"How about we wait until we open the restaurant?" Yan Jiecheng had no choice.

"No, now is a good time to open a restaurant. If we wait until later, I am afraid that others will open it first, and we will have no chance."

"Then what should I do if I don't have money? Also, have you decided to open a restaurant yet?"

"If you don't have any money, continue to find someone to borrow money. For restaurants, let's ask Sha Zhu to see if he can introduce a cook."

"Why don't you borrow money from Sha Zhu?"

"Silly Zhu's child is about to get married, so I'm afraid there is no money to lend us."

"Then who can I borrow from?"

"Who else has money in our courtyard?"

"Xu Damao? Second uncle? But they won't lend us money."

"There's one more thing you forgot."

"Who?" Yan Jiecheng thought for a while, "Zhou Qiang? You want to borrow money from Zhou Qiang?"

"Yes, Zhou Qiang is the richest person in our courtyard. I heard that he has several factories and companies, and he is building a new factory recently."

"Can he lend us money?"

"I don't know, try it, maybe you can borrow it. If you can't borrow it, then borrow our father's 'usury'."

"we can only do this."

Zhou Qiang's family.

Yuli is here.

She came to Zhou Qiang to borrow money.Yan Jiecheng didn't come, he felt a little ashamed and didn't want to come.

"Beautiful, are you busy?"

"Yes, make some noodle soup." It was dinner time, and Wang Meili came back from get off work to cook.She is now working while studying for graduate school.She has stayed in school as a teacher.

Wang Meili's major is mathematics, and she studies basic mathematics, so there are basically no research results.

"Is Zhou Qiang here?"

"Yes, just came back."

"Sister Yu is here, please sit down." Zhou Qiang heard the movement and came to the living room. He was helping the children with their homework in the study just now.

"Then what, I came today to borrow some money from your family.

Don't worry, the interest rate will not be lower than that of the bank. "Yu Li said it directly, without embarrassment.

"Borrowing money? I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to ask, what are you borrowing money for?" Zhou Qiang asked casually.

"It's not inconvenient, I just want to open a restaurant to see if I can make money." Yu Li didn't hide it either.She knew that Zhou Qiang didn't like this small business.

"It's a good idea." Zhou Qiang nodded, "How much money do you need?"

"It's not much, five thousand, or three thousand will do."

"Not much." Zhou Qiang was about to agree when another person came.

Yan Bugui is here.

When he heard that Yu Li came to Zhou Qiang to borrow money, his first reaction was, "It's a bad thing, I can't earn the interest."

He hurried to Zhou Qiang's house to see if he could lower the interest rate a little and let Yu Li borrow his money.

Although this earns a little less, it is better than not earning at all.

"Dad, why are you here?" Yu Li asked, thinking about what Yan Pugui was doing here.

Yan Bugui nodded to Zhou Qiang and Wang Meili, and said to Li: "If you want to borrow money, you can find me, and you don't have to trouble Xiaoqiang and the others."

"But." Yu Li wanted to talk about interest.

"No, but our family can discuss it, and the interest can also be negotiated." Yan Bugui said in the end, his voice was very low.

"Dad, tell me the truth, how much interest do you want?" Yu Li didn't deliberately whisper.

"Well, how about eight points?" Yan Bugui had no choice but to continue, because Yu Li had no intention of leaving.

"No, too many." Yu Li shook her head.

"What about six points?" Yan Bugui's face was pained.

"Dad, you deposit in the bank, the interest is about four cents, how about I give you five cents?" Yu Li said.

"This, this..." Yan Bugui didn't want to agree, he felt that he didn't make much money.

Zhou Qiang looked funny, but he didn't interrupt.

Although Yan Bugui has principles and a bottom line, he has too many calculations, and he doesn't want to have too much contact with Yan Pugui.

"If not, I will" Yu Li looked at Zhou Qiang.

"Okay then, I'll do as you say." Yan Bugui agreed helplessly.He looked at Zhou Qiang, a little unhappy.But not a look of resentment.

"Then you have reached an agreement? Are you still borrowing money?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"No more, Zhou Qiang has troubled you." Yu Li was a little embarrassed this time.She said goodbye and left.

"Sister Yu, the meal will be ready soon, let's eat together?" Wang Meili said politely.

"No, I have something else to do." Yu Li left.She wanted to go to Shazhu and ask about the cook.

Yan Bugui didn't leave.

He actually stayed to eat.

Zhou Qiang doesn't care about a meal.

He made some good wine and drank a few glasses with Yan Bugui.

"Xiaoqiang, I wonder if Yu Li's restaurant can make money?" Yan Bugui asked.He is considering whether to buy shares.

"Third Master, there are not many people running restaurants now, as long as you work hard, you should be able to make money."

"I don't know how much money I can make?"

"It depends on how the cook is. If the cook is good, he can earn a lot of money."

"Cook? I wonder if Zhuzi can find a good cook for me?"

"It should be fine. Brother Zhuzi knows many chefs, and those chefs also have apprentices. If you introduce any one, it must be a good chef.

I just don't know if Yu Li's restaurant can afford to invite others. "

Yan Bugui nodded, he also understood that the restaurant was too small to support a chef.

But if you want to open a big restaurant, the money may not be enough.

"Xiaoqiang, if we don't have enough money to open a restaurant, can I borrow it from you?" Yan Bugui had the idea of ​​opening a bigger restaurant.

"Okay, [-] to [-] is fine." Zhou Qiang said there was an upper limit.

"The interest?"

"Repay the money within one year, there is no need to calculate the interest." Yan Bugui has a good relationship with Zhou Qiang these years. Although Zhou Qiang does not intend to have more contact with Yan Pugui, a matter of [-] to [-] yuan is nothing.

"That's a good thing." Yan Bugui walked away with a smile.

"Brother Qiang, is the Yan family going to open a restaurant?" Wang Meili was curious.

"Yes, Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law Yu Li has good eyesight and is considered a capable person. She knows that now is a good time to open a restaurant."

"Brother Qiang, Jiawen and the others said they also want to do business."

"What business do you want to do? Do you want to borrow money?"

"They don't know what to do yet, and they probably need to borrow money."

"You can open a hot pot restaurant. You don't need a chef, and the business will definitely work."

"Hot pot restaurant? Sichuan hot pot?"

"Well, depending on the situation, you can adjust the bottom of the pot and add more flavors."

"Then I'll tell Jiawen tomorrow, let them hurry up and find a store."

"Okay. Beautiful, take the time to ask Aunt Wang to see if there are any shops that sell takeaways and courtyard houses, if there are any for sale."

"You want to buy shops and courtyard houses?"

"Yes, these will definitely increase in price in the future."

"Then I'll ask tomorrow."
