Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

In the next few days, accompanied by Xu Ning, Lou Xiao'e completed the formalities for the several properties she came to hand over this time. After completing the formalities, Lou Xiao'e handed them over to Xu Damao, "Damo, I'll leave these formalities with you. I've told Xu Jun that he will stay in Kyoto for New Year's Eve, and I will return to Hong Kong before the end of the month."

"Ezi, aren't you afraid that I will embezzle your property?"

"Just take these few properties, just take them. Huo Huo, Xin Xin and Pan Pan will each have one in the future. If you take them, I will let them come and play with you. Their surname is not Lou, but Xu."

"Hey, I'm just saying that. By the way, I want to invite He Yuzhu and his family to have dinner at our own private kitchen tomorrow. You've come back, so you have to meet some people, right?"

"Da Mao, forget about this trip. I'll come back next year to see how things go. This time I'm here for the purpose of investigation. I also want to go to the Southern Special Zone. I heard that there is a lot of potential there. I'll leave for the South tomorrow and then leave from there."

"Okay, you are addicted to business. Okay, let me give you a suggestion. Focus on Shenzhen and Zhuhai, focus on land prices, buy more land, and open factories. It's okay, but it's hard work. I don't want you to work so hard. It's easier to invest. Buy land, build houses and factories when you have money. Whether you rent or sell it, it's easy to quadruple it in ten years."

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that someone who had never traveled far from Kyoto actually knew about Shenzhen and Zhuhai, and she looked very suspicious.

"Don't look at me with suspicion. How could I not know about this special zone of the country? I have been a government official for many years. The news reports about Shenzhen speed every day. Why? Because of the support of the country and the good policies. Now there must be many bosses from Hong Kong coming here to process electronic products, clothing, etc., because the labor force is cheap. So you should hurry up. Now is the time to show that time is money and time is efficiency."

"Oh, oh, okay."

"Xinxin happened to be studying law, so he can give you some advice. As for Panpan, you can go over and learn a little bit, maybe he can take over your job in the future. One thing, be careful."

"Then don't worry, there is a department over there that specializes in receiving Hong Kong investors. I have already contacted them, and they will pick them up at the airport tomorrow."

"That's fine. Go back and ask my mother-in-law how she is. Tell her to come back to Kyoto as soon as possible so I can take care of her."

Lou Xiao'e left with her children, and Xu Jun stayed and lived in the fourth east wing, with the Xu Zhidi brothers living in the east wing.

"Dad, there's something I want you to find out about."

"Huohuo, what's the matter? Is it about your friend? What's her name?"

"Yuan Ya. They seem to have moved away from their original residence. Neighbors don't know where they moved to. I know that Yuan Ya seems to have been admitted to Beijing Normal University, but the school is on holiday now, and I have no place to check."

"Don't worry about this matter. You will go to Tsinghua University anyway. It's impossible for a big accident to happen in the few days before the New Year. The wife of my brother was also admitted to Beijing Normal University in 77, the year when the college entrance examination was resumed. She is now a teacher at your Tsinghua High School. Her father is also a professor at Tsinghua University. Come with me to pay New Year's greetings and get to know each other. Then ask her if she knows you. There were not many people admitted that year, so maybe you know her. The New Year is coming soon. Take the money and take your brothers and sisters out to buy some supplies and familiarize yourself with the road conditions. Also, go to Wujiaohua Company to bargain for a bicycle, so that you can walk in the future."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"By the way, Huo Huo, what major did you study in college?"

“Materials science and engineering, I focus on composite materials.”

"Oh, okay. When you have research results, you can start your own company."

"Dad, you know this too? Did Mom tell you? I do have this plan. Mom said she would invest 10 million in me when the time comes."

"Let's study it first. There's still time. Technology is productivity. Whoever is at the forefront of technology can worry about not having wealth."

Xu Jun suddenly developed a great admiration for this familiar yet unfamiliar brother. He didn't know where to start, but he started from the last time they parted, when his father turned the stone into dust with his hands. Today, he also learned about Xu Damao's extraordinary thoughts. Especially that technology is productivity.

He mumbled something in English: incredible.

"Son, don't disbelieve it. There are many things in this world that we haven't seen or heard of, but they are all possible. Everything is possible. For example, someone is knocking on our door soon. When you open the door, there are two women. One of them is your sister, Fang Shuying."

Xu Jun opened his mouth wide, "Dad, sister? I haven't seen her before? How many times have you been married? Are you the same as my grandfather?"

Xu Damao looked at his son with a teasing look, "Open the door, be polite, and call Aunt Fang."

Sure enough, the door knocker rang.

"Uh, Aunt Fang, that sister, I'm Fang Jun."

"Oh, Sister Xiao'e's son. I've heard your father talk about you. Ah? Aren't you in the United States? Why are you here?"

"Shuying, this is your elder brother, call me brother." Xu Damao came over and took over the conversation, "Let's talk inside."

Then he closed the courtyard gate and let them all go into the main house.

"Lady Xia, are you planning to spend the New Year here or go to your parents' place?"

"Of course we're here to celebrate the New Year. Where else can we go? But this year, you're eating and drinking for free. I gave all the things I bought to my dad and my brother."

"It's okay. The family still needs you. You came just in time. Huo Huo has something he wants your sister-in-law to ask about. Would you mind calling home or wait until after the New Year?"

"Let's talk about it after the New Year. Is it urgent?"

Xu Jun took over the conversation, "Aunt Fang, there's no rush. I just want to find someone who graduated from Beijing Normal University."

"Hey, girl? You and your son are both the same."

"Xiao Ru, don't talk nonsense. Huo Huo is looking for his kindergarten friend. Oh, yes, Xia Nu, aren't you also studying materials? Oh, you studied chemical materials. Is this related to composite materials?"

"What do you mean, Damao?"

"That's right. My son is going to study for a doctorate at Tsinghua University. His research topic is composite materials. Do you think you two can learn from each other and cooperate? I don't know much about this field. What nanomaterials? "Carbon fiber, I've heard of it, but I don't understand it!"

Xu Jun was a little confused. "Dad, how do you know about carbon fiber? This is the direction of my research. I don't remember telling you."

"I've only heard about it. Carbon fiber needs to be strong and light. It will be used in the aerospace field in the future. Who doesn't know this? Do you really think your dad is a country bumpkin who knows nothing? Otherwise, how can I be your father?"

Fang Xiaoru also looked at Xu Damao with new eyes at this time. "Xu Damao, you are really a bit elusive, and you have some skills. Our country really wants to study carbon fiber, but there is no laboratory that meets the standards. I think it is more appropriate for your son to return to the United States to study. Our school did set up a polymer research laboratory last year, but the conditions are still relatively simple."

"Look for Xu Jun. Her mother is in Hong Kong and can help you buy equipment from abroad."

Fang Xiaoru's eyes lit up. "Xu Jun, let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Xiaoru, and I'm a lecturer at Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology. I teach materials science. It's a pity that our institute doesn't have a doctoral program, otherwise I would really like to recruit you to our school. But it doesn't matter if you're in National Tsing Hua University. Let's communicate more and learn from each other in the future."

Xu Jun didn't expect Fang Xiaoru to be studying materials science, and he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

"Xu Jun, Teacher Fang, from now on you can just call me Huo Huo. A fire."
