Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

A week after the birth of Xu Damao's second grandson Xu Jingyu and second granddaughter Xu Xinuo, Xu Jun, Yuan Ya and Xu Xiyan also flew to Hong Kong from Los Angeles after hearing the news.

"Dad, Mom, Xinxin, brother and sister-in-law, congratulations."

"Huohuo, you have graduated and are preparing to return to Beijing, right?" Xu Damao was very happy. This meant that three generations of the family were reunited in Hong Kong.

"Yes, everything in Los Angeles has been dealt with, and I am going to settle down in Kyoto for a long time. Yaya just said that the factory in Shunyi has also been completed, and the production line has been ordered from Japan and shipped. It should arrive in Kyoto soon, and it is estimated that production will start next year. In addition, Teacher Qi asked me to come back to provide technical support for the new material factory in Pinggu, and we need to build our own laboratory. So the task is not easy."

"Will your three sisters come back this year? Shuying has already gone to New York?"

"Yes, Shuying went to New York in mid-August. Hanhan and Dandan are still in Los Angeles. But don't worry, Dad. They are doing well. I think with Shuying's encouragement, they will get full credits and graduate successfully next year. They both said they want to return to Kyoto and will not take the postgraduate entrance examination anymore."

"Okay, then you can stay in Hong Kong for a while, and get familiar with the operation of L&X Trade and Haida Trade here, and help your sister with the affairs of Si Nian Trade. This way, you can all be independent in the future, and your mother and I will have less worries."

Lou Xiao'e was the happiest during this period.

The family in Shatin hired two more nannies. Zeng Zixuan had just given birth, and she was not used to the cold weather in the northern capital, so it was impossible for the whole family to return to Kyoto for the New Year. In Xiangjiang, Maoyuan Real Estate still had a lot of things to do, so someone must be stationed here.

Although we now have professional managers to help manage the business, and Maoyuan Real Estate now employs more than 20 people, we still have to handle several matters in Haida personally, and there is also a large industry in Shenzhen that requires constant attention.

Xu Damao thought that talents were still needed at critical moments, but he believed that Zeng Zixuan and Xu Ning would handle it.

Time passed quickly, and the twins were one month old in mid-November. The Zeng and Lou families held a full-month banquet together.

When Xu Damao was preparing to leave Hong Kong, he specifically told Xu Ning and Zeng Zixuan, "Let them manage all matters related to Hong Kong and Shenzhen. If they need to hire people or make investments, they can do it at their convenience. There is no need to call them all the time to report the situation. If you have sufficient funds, you can buy more antiques, buy some gold for storage, and allocate a portion of the funds to securities investment."

After several years of investigation, Xu Damao proved that Zeng Zixuan was fully capable of controlling the affairs of Hong Kong. In the future, the burden of the Lou family's industrial development in Hong Kong will inevitably fall on Xu Ning and his wife. One is in politics and the other is in business, which is also a golden pair. Besides, Xu Damao has now laid a relatively peaceful business environment for Maoyuan Real Estate in Shatin. The 14K boss will not easily provoke Maoyuan unless the gang in Shatin changes. Then he can come back to clean it up when the time comes.

Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, Xu Jun and their family of six finally arrived in Kyoto before the end of the month.

Xu Jun originally wanted to live in Yandaixie Street, but Xu Damao knew that the couple was not young anymore and wanted to have a baby, so he arranged for someone to disturb the two-story villa of the Lou family. It was more appropriate for Xu Jun to live there. After all, it was less than two kilometers away from Yandaixie Street.

Wow, as soon as Xu Jun came back, he quickly bought two Toyotas, a Land Cruiser for himself and a Crown for Yuan Ya. In Los Angeles, he was used to having a car whenever he went out. It was a little expensive, but it was paid from the public account of Haida Company and the new Eli Beverage Company, so a large part of it could be deducted, and it could be depreciated later, so it wasn't expensive at all.

The first thing Xu Damao did was to go to Lingyun Beverage Company.

"Brother, isn't the second brother in the factory? Oh, Master, Master's wife, why are you two here too?"

"Da Mao, you're here? I'm just sitting around at home with nothing to do, so I came to see what the two brothers are busy with. You've come just in time, so please take us with you when you go back to the city."

"Hey, Master, why don't you stay in this factory for a few more days? See how Brother Tengyun and Brother Lingyun act like masters."

"Da Mao, you said that after this mountain water was processed and bottled, it was actually sold for one dollar a bottle on the street. When Yanyun came back to see us that day and told us about this, I kept muttering in my heart, I was afraid that these two people were doing something evil. That's why my wife and I asked Lingyun to pick us up to come and see the situation."

"Master, don't worry. Water is worth this price in different occasions and at different times. You say you are in the Gobi Desert and you are so thirsty that someone offers you a gold bar in exchange for a bottle of water. You give it to them. Our bottled water is to meet the urgent needs of some people who are thirsty but don't have a water cup. Who would buy water at home, right? Kyoto is not what it used to be. There are many people traveling back and forth. Don't we have this mineral water to help them solve the problem of not having a water cup? It's also convenient for them, and we can earn some labor fees. It's reasonable, legal and appropriate."

Xu Damao stayed in the factory for a few hours and had lunch in the factory cafeteria. He learned about the production and sales of Lingyun Beverage Company. It was stable. The sales this month were not so good because it was winter and there were not many tourists coming to Beijing. Normally, the factory only worked seven hours a day. However, Zhang Tengyun secretly told Xu Damao that the factory was prosperous.

In just half a year, sales have stabilized, with monthly sales of more than 100,000 boxes, and a gross profit of more than four yuan per box, which is a profit of more than 2 million yuan.

Even though Zhang Tengyun is older than Xu Damao, he now looks at Xu Damao like a younger junior brother.

"Brother, take your time. Winter is coming. We should give employees a holiday early if possible. We will provide better benefits for the employees during the Chinese New Year. Next year, the year after, and the year after, we will have plenty of opportunities to make money. Also, health is the most important, and factory safety is the most important. When it is icy and snowy, try not to drive the vehicles out."

After some instructions, Xu Damao took Zhang Taihe and his wife back to Compound No. 98, where they drank tea and chatted with his master and his wife before returning to their home on Dongsishitiao.

Lou Xiao'e came back, Xu Jun came back, and Tan Yali was also moved back to Yandaixie Street from Beiqijiajia.

Xu Damao gave the elderly Tan Yali enough space to enjoy the company of her grandchildren. He was also busy with Gu Meifang and Fang Xiaoru, as well as caring for Catherine's family.

Fortunately, Ye Lin is now in charge of the children's studies, so Xu Damao doesn't need to take out special time to deal with this. It is true that you reap what you sow, and the best of good deeds are good.

Soon, Xu Damao learned that the production line of Eli Company had entered the installation stage. However, he just heard about it. He had already handed over the formula of herbal tea to his daughter-in-law Yuan Ya, and Xu Damao would not interfere in other matters. Originally, this factory was set up to help the Yuan family. It only mentioned one thing: if the product comes out next year, it can be distributed in the same way as Lingyun Beverage Company, and customers can be shared. If possible, the two companies can cooperate to distribute goods to the city.

As for next year, we'll see. It's not that stage yet.
