The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Then, Old Huang threw out another piece of news. "Awei, the master has prepared a canning factory for you next to the machine repair factory outside Andingmen in the north of the city. The equipment needs to be imported but it has not arrived yet, but I have contacted and purchased it. It is expected to take more than a month."

Hearing this, Chang Wei paused and looked at Old Huang in confusion. "Uncle Huang, what is Uncle Lou going to do?"

He didn't understand what Lou Zhenhua was up to. He was given the whole canning factory, not to mention how much it cost, but there was no reason for it. And if he set up another canning factory under his name, then his position would go beyond the petty bourgeoisie and enter the category of capitalists.

Old Huang smiled meaningfully. "How would I know? Just ask yourself."

He clearly knew it but didn't say much, which made Chang Wei even more confused.

As they were talking, they came to the living room.

Chang Wei sat down with a majestic look and looked at Lou Zhenhua. "Uncle Lou, you're amazing? You can even predict what I'm going to do?"

Lou Zhenhua immediately knew what he meant, and made up an excuse and smiled. "Do you think I'm giving it to you for free? Didn't you say you wanted to be my son-in-law? This is my advance payment for my daughter's dowry."

Chang Wei smiled faintly, not believing the old fox's words. "What about the cannery, too?"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and leaned back on the sofa. "I saw your operation. It's obvious that you want dozens of villages to raise pigs. But if so many villages raise pigs, it won't be enough for just one butcher shop to handle them. I'll think of a way to make them canned. Now the front line is fighting against American imperialism, and supplies are in short supply. With your connections in the Ministry of Public Security, you will definitely have no trouble getting orders."

Chang Wei had to admire Lou Zhenhua's business vision, but he didn't dare to make money from the national crisis. However, it made him see the light. This really solved the problem of oversupply of pigs in the villages behind, and he also thought of a way that would not affect himself, and at the same time he could do an experiment...

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chang Wei teased with a playful smile, "Uncle Lou, you have such a large family, but the dowry you give to your daughter is a bit stingy?"

Lou Zhenhua said angrily, "You greedy bastard, I have to give you my daughter as compensation, and I have to give you all my property, that's what I call magnanimity."

Chang Wei curled his lips and leaned lazily on the sofa with his head tilted back. "I'm not happy about it. I don't know how to do business. Do you want me to be called a spendthrift?"

I muttered to myself, Old Lou, you dare to show off in front of me now? I have been lying down for 30 years and I am definitely richer than you.

"You..." Lou Zhenhua was choked and speechless. "Come back to the villa with me for lunch at noon." He changed the subject quickly, as he was afraid that if he continued to talk about this, he would get so angry that he would have a brain congestion.

I complained in my heart, this kid has wild ideas, he is simply not a human being, he is so picky when it comes to giving him benefits...

Eating at the other courtyard? That's possible, Chang Wei smiled brightly. "Okay! Then you should call Auntie right away and cook a few more specialties for lunch."

There is no doubt that I will be able to meet the silly goose this time. The dowry has been sent in advance, so how can I not be allowed to see her?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"You kid." Lou Zhenhua smiled speechlessly. This kid could choke someone to death, but he just stood there like nothing happened. "Old Huang, call your wife and tell her that Awei will be at home for lunch at noon."

Afterwards, Lou Zhenhua asked Chang Wei about his trip to Hong Kong.

Chang Wei was certainly happy about his trip to Hong Kong! He had a great harvest of money and beauty.

But when Lou Zhenhua asked about Hong Kong, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

Bai Fanyu was born in a poor family, started from humble beginnings, was a rough man with little education and no business talent, he just rode the train of Hong Kong era and was bold enough to start his business on the crest of the wave. But Lou Zhenhua was different, the Lou family in the old city was involved in all walks of life, and he was able to take over such a large industry of the Lou family, so he must have great business talent.

If the two fathers-in-law join forces, maybe they can really become the top bosses in Hong Kong in the future.

As expected, the younger generation of the Lou family should all be fakes, otherwise they would not let Lou Xiao'e, a woman, be the head of the family in the later period. Since the big money will fall on the wife in the end, and it is a sure win, this thing can be done. Then put some bait to make Lou Zhenhua tempted and run away early.

(Lou Xiao'e hasn't figured it out yet, isn't it a bit early to think about this?

This is too much of a distrust of Chang Wei. A teenage girl is easy to catch, not to mention the cheating device, telepathy?)

Gathering his thoughts, Chang Wei entered the induction mode.

"Uncle Lou, Hong Kong is also in a state of disrepair, but the good thing is that as long as you feed the old ghost, you can basically do whatever you want, and he can provide escort. It is much more convenient than the mainland, and it is very suitable for big businessmen like you!"

Lou Zhenhua nodded in agreement. He also knew something about the situation there. "That's true, but there are many gangs over there, and there are many troublemakers. It's not easy to do business there, right? I heard that smuggling is booming over there, and I can't do that."

"There are indeed many gangs, and they fight fiercely, but there are only a few that are the most powerful. We only need to find one of them to protect us. They also need someone to support them, and they are reluctant to let their sponsor suffer losses. Besides, Hong Kong is so big, and it's not just about smuggling. There are so many people, and the demand for food, clothing, housing and transportation is also great.

There is a lot of work to be done, the policies are good, and there is market demand. It is a paradise for businessmen. "

Lou Zhenhua's senses were very sharp, and Chang Wei's words were too obvious to be misleading, so he said something meaningful. "Is there something wrong with you, kid?"

Chang Wei smiled faintly, wanting you to see it, and continued to induce. "Uncle Lou, didn't I tell you last time? Going to Hong Kong is just a trip, do you think I was joking? I have two brothers who make a living there, and they have a little power, a little territory, and can also take over the docks. I don't have many subordinates, only one or two people, right?"

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua's eyes flashed with shock, and then he fell into deep thought.

He is not a rookie. A gang must have at least a few hundred members, and the number of peripheral members must be several times higher. They have a fixed territory and can intervene at the docks. This is not something that a small gang can compare to. If there is a gang above the gang, then the power is...

If it is true, with Chang Wei as a matchmaker, the Lou family's development in Hong Kong is indeed guaranteed, and they can make great strides smoothly. But the Lou family's ancestral property for several generations is in Beijing, so he is unwilling to give it up unless he has no other choice...

Chang Wei saw Lou Zhenhua fell into deep thought, and it seemed that the effect was good.

He didn't bother to disturb them, but stood up quietly and prepared to take a look at the school first. No matter how good it sounded, he still had to visit it in person to see it for himself.

After talking to Lao Huang, Lao Huang called Huang San to be Chang Wei's driver, and the two of them drove straight to Shichahai.

Arriving at the school, Chang Wei found that although the buildings were all single-story brick and tile buildings, not the multi-story buildings he had expected, the area was indeed large enough. It didn't sound like more than 20 acres, but it was very spacious. The structure was also complete, with a playground, accommodation, and classrooms, and the areas were clearly divided. With such a large area, it would be enough to accommodate even 1,800 orphans. The surrounding environment was also relatively quiet, not far from the lake.

Chang Wei became more satisfied the more he looked at it, and nodded silently in his heart. This place was better than his ideal welfare home.

After taking a look around, he got into the car with satisfaction and left for the Lou family villa.

And the Lou family villa.

Lou Zhenhua had already returned and was chatting with Tan Yali in the living room, telling her his personal guess.

"Old Lou, is it really as scary as you say?"

Lou Zhenhua had just told Tan Yali the worst case scenario, and he sighed deeply. "It's just my guess, and I just told you that this guy deliberately gave me another tip, and his intention was obviously to tell me that the Lou family would be best suited to go to Hong Kong, but the Lou family has been running the business in Beijing for generations, so how can they just leave?"

Tan Yali patted Lou Zhenhua on the back to relax him. "Then let's wait and see! As you said last time, it's still early. Besides, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our family donated so much money and materials to the government and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The special title of Red Merchant should be of some use."

Tan Yali was not favored by Lou Zhenhua just because she was beautiful. She was talented and far-sighted, a typical good wife. She persuaded Lou Zhenhua to donate the first batch of money to support national construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The effect was also good, and she was given the title of a special red businessman.

Lou Zhenhua nodded. "That's the only way to go. I wonder what he will do if you suggest building a canning factory for him."

Tan Yali smiled confidently. "Haha~ Let's just wait and see the result. This little bastard is also a little fox, and he has quite a lot of abilities. He went to Hong Kong and two powerful brothers showed up. I wonder what else he has hidden?"

It was Tan Yali's idea to build a canning factory for Chang Wei. She wanted to test the waters and help Lou Zhenhua prove his guess. A canning factory was a drop in the bucket for the Lou family. Compared with the donation to the country, it was just a drizzle.

"Yes! When Lao Huang told this kid, doubt and a hint of resistance flashed in his eyes. But when I saw him later, his eyes were calm... Most people would be excited to get a factory for free. How could they think of refusing at the first moment? There is definitely something wrong..."
