Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

The next morning

Li Xuewu woke up from his sleep, closed his eyes and felt around, but there was no one around him.

He looked at the clock hanging on the wall again: "It's just past six o'clock, what are you doing so early! Haitang!" After muttering to himself, he stretched his neck and shouted.

"Ah! What's wrong?" Yu Haitang ran over with an apron tied around her waist.

"What were you doing so early?"

"I'm cooking for you. After dinner I still have to go to work."

Li Xuewu just smiled and said, "There's no work here, what kind of job are you doing?"

"That won't work either. We have to find something to do. Even though we don't have any business, it doesn't stop us from understanding the market situation!"

Unexpectedly, Yu Haitang is a very dedicated person.

"Okay, then you go to work later. I have something else to do today, so I won't go with you!"

"Okay, then hurry up and get up. I'll be ready soon!"

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Yu Haitang went to work and Li Xuewu simply packed up and came out. He was going to find Han Chunming and ask him to help sort out the antiques he had collected over the years.

Those antiques played a crucial role in raising so much money quickly during this trip to Hong Kong. People in the bank and auction house still recognize this.

If the automobile factory is approved and construction begins, a huge amount of money will be required. There is also a big investor who only burns money without producing any output, and that is the research and development institution led by Professor Jin.

Li Xuewu is prepared to strongly support research and development. If he wants to catch up with the advanced foreign technology as soon as possible, a large amount of capital investment is essential.

The reason why he was so anxious to build this car factory was that Li Xuewu already had a complete set of drawings, which he could use after making slight modifications. The more important reason was the lag in the domestic automobile industry.

Now that we have reform and opening up, the demand for cars is bound to increase, but domestic production is too low. From 58 to now, all the car factories in the country have produced no more than 5000 cars in total. There are quite a few light trucks, but very few heavy trucks.

What should we do if the current production cannot meet the huge demand in the future? We can only import from abroad. Importing things requires foreign exchange, and the current pitiful foreign exchange is not enough to be used for important things.

For this reason, Li Xuewu thought that the sooner it could be built, the better. Not only would it be able to meet domestic demand, but it would also make money and seize market share. Why not do it?

The idea came into play, but where would the money come from? That depended on these antiques. Over the years, I had obtained a lot of good stuff through Liu Guangtian and Han Chunming. I wouldn't say how many, but there were at least several thousand pieces.

To be honest, Li Xuewu doesn't really understand the concept of treasure appraisal, and he doesn't have the time to study it, so this requires a professional to do it.

We have to pick out the antiques that can be regarded as national treasures. These things cannot be taken out of the country under any circumstances. The things that were looted by the foreign devils of the Eight-Nation Alliance have not been brought back yet. If we take them out again, we will be criminals.

The items that can be sold at the auction must be common things, such as pots, pans, and the like. The price doesn't have to be high, and the whole thing wins by quantity.

Now that he is no longer the director of the machinery factory, he has no car to ride in when he goes out. For this reason, Li Xuewu bought a car, kicked it, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away with smoke coming out.

……

Han Chunming is also a stubborn person.

Ever since he started the scrap collecting business, he has really loved it and is now enjoying it. When Li Xuewu was planning to set up a company, he asked him to help, but he refused.

Li Xuewu did not force it. After all, there was a greater chance of encountering antiques while collecting junk. Han Chunming wanted to prove that he could do well on his own, and he was more of a bet with Su Meng.

When Li Xuewu found Han Chunming in Beitiao Hutong, he was shouting with a loudspeaker.

"You seem to be living a very comfortable life these days! It seems like you are getting close to the people!" Li Xuewu joked with a smile.

Han Chunming smoothed his dirty work clothes and said, "We are all working people. Brother Wu, how come you have time to come here?"

"I came here to ask you for help!"

"If you have anything to say, please speak!"

Putting down the ladder, Li Xuewu sat sideways on the car seat and lit a cigarette: "Look, when you are free, go and help me pick out my antiques. Pick out the good ones and keep them. I will take the rest to an auction in Hong Kong!"

Han Chunming was very surprised: "Why do you want to sell it? Are you short of money?"

"Lack! It's not just a little bit. The companies I plan to set up are all big spenders. I have to sell things!"

"It would be a shame to sell it like this!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's nothing to regret. Except for the real national treasures, those things are valuable only if they can be put to good use. It's useless to just keep them there."

"That's true." Han Chunming nodded, agreeing with what he said: "Well, brother-in-law!"

When he called me brother-in-law, he knew something was wrong: "What's on your mind? Please help me look at the things so that I can let you pick out two things you like!"

"Hehehe, then let me thank you, brother-in-law. But that's not what I want to talk about. When you go to Hong Kong, can you help me sell two pieces?" If there is a free bargain, of course you have to take it. Han Chunming first agreed with a smile, and then stated his request.

"You want to sell it too? Why? Are you planning to start your own business?"

"Well, I have this idea, but I haven't made up my mind before. Now seeing you like this, I have made up my mind too! Let's do it!"

Knowing that Han Chunming had the right idea, Li Xuewu didn't say much: "Okay, pick out the things you want to sell and give them to me, but the auction will be half a year at the earliest. Now you need to do business with any money you want, just take it from me first, and give it to me after your things are auctioned off!"

"Thank you! So when are we going to go see the things?"

"Aren't you at work now?"

Han Chunming took off his straw hat and said, "We don't have any time requirements. Just hand in the stuff monthly and you can do whatever you want the rest of the time!"

"Don't be so anxious. I haven't packed my things yet. I'll come to see you tomorrow. I just want to tell you today. By the way, how are you and your Su Meng doing now?"

Speaking of this, Han Chunming's mood suddenly became depressed: "Hey, why are you bringing this up?"

"Why am I quarreling with you again? You are such a smart guy, how come you can't even control a woman? It's not unfair to say that you deserve it!" Li Xuewu was really a little disappointed with his friend. All the things he said before were in vain.

Han Chunming also had a bitter smile on his face: "I don't know either. Every time I saw Su Meng, I didn't pay attention. Brother-in-law, what do you think I should do if I fall to the ground?"

"You really want to hear my opinion?"

"Yes, you have enough experience. You have coaxed my sister into a trance. Please help me!" Han Chunming looked pleading.
