Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Li Huaide thought he already understood Xu Damao's character.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Damao had already seen through people's hearts during the years of training in prison.

In addition, he was plotted against when he married Chen Li before.

He is wary of any woman who takes the initiative to show her affection to him.

This would make Xu Damao wary of him.

Xu Damao did not directly refuse to cooperate with Li Huaide.

He knew that Li Huaide was no ordinary person.

I think he still has a way to smuggle electrical appliances from Hong Kong to the inland.

He wants to earn this money.

Although there is some risk of playing with fire.

But he still wanted to take a gamble.

Yi Xiaochuan was under the instructions of Xu Damao.

The first tracking mission also began.

Being inexperienced, he didn't dare to get too close.

That is to say, observe the two people from a distance with a telescope.

Wait until the day of the transaction.

Xu Damao also asked Yi Xiaochuan to wait at the pick-up location in advance, and he personally followed You Fengxia to pick up the goods.

The entire transaction process went extremely smoothly.

After the truckload of televisions were packed, Xu Damao was still a little bit incredulous.

He always felt that it was a little abnormal that this thing went so smoothly.

It was as if Li Huaide really wanted to do business with him.

"Xiaochuan, I asked you to follow those two people. Did you find anything?"

"Uncle Xu, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Yi Xiaochuan recalled the scenes of himself following You Fengxia these days and couldn't help but blushing.

His attention these days has been entirely focused on You Fengxia.

Occasionally, I could use a telescope to sneak a peek at You Fengxia's beauty.

Especially once when the other person was bathing, Yi Xiaochuan watched the whole process.

Unconsciously, he developed an inexplicable feeling towards You Fengxia, and now he was afraid that Xu Damao would find out.

Xu Damao was watching the TV in the warehouse at the moment and couldn't help falling into deep thought, so he didn't pay attention to Yi Xiaochuan's abnormality.

"Find someone who knows the business to check if there are any problems with these TVs. If there are no problems, contact the buyers and sell these TVs."

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

Anyway, the money and goods are settled.

Now we just need to find someone to inspect the goods. As long as there is no problem with the TV, the next step is to sell the goods.

Xu Damao spent several more days testing the TVs.

The test results did not disappoint him.

These TVs are of very good quality and meet the quality standards for export abroad.

If done right, these TVs could fetch a much better price.

Xu Damao was too lazy to think about it anymore.

He found several dealers and sold these TVs at a good price.

After receiving the goods, the dealers specifically asked Xu Damao to contact them as soon as possible if he had such goods again.

Obviously, these goods are in great demand in the market.

After receiving the payment for the goods, Xu Damao calculated the bill.

This batch of TVs was sold for 80,000 yuan, with a cost of 50,000 yuan. With other miscellaneous expenses, the profit was close to 30,000 yuan.

What does 30,000 yuan mean?

This was the profit he made from selling rebar in a month before.

And he also has to compete with Liu Haizhong and Cui Dake.

And now I have earned 30,000 yuan in less than ten days.

This is still a small investment.

If you invest more, you will only earn more.

Xu Damao was now also caught up in the fantasy of a better future.

When people can make quick money, it is difficult for them to adapt to the previous way of making money slowly.

Xu Damao is the same. He no longer has any intention of selling rebar.

Wouldn't it be great for him to resell smuggled goods?

Moreover, selling rebar is a way for Liu Haizhong to make use of his connections.

It’s okay now that I have a good relationship with Liu Haizhong, but there are always unexpected events.

What if I have a falling out with Liu Haizhong one day?

Xu Damao also didn't want to be strangled by Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao, who had made money, was also generous. He directly took out two thousand yuan and gave it to Yi Xiaochuan as his hard work fee.

Yi Xiaochuan was shocked when he received so much money for the first time.

This is two thousand dollars.

You should know that his adoptive father Yi Zhonghai used to work in a steel mill and earned a maximum of 99 yuan a month.

However, wages in China have not increased much in recent years.

It would take Yi Zhonghai more than a year of working without eating or drinking to earn two thousand yuan.

I can earn so much money just by running errands and following the other person, and watching some spring scenery.

This money is too easy to earn, right?!

It seemed that he could see what Yi Xiaochuan was thinking.

Xu Damao smiled indifferently and said:

"Don't be surprised. I have a good relationship with your mother. She asked me to take care of you, so I will certainly not treat you unfairly. Follow me and work hard. Sooner or later, you will be able to make a lot of money like me."

Yi Xiaochuan also fell silent when he heard this.

At the beginning, he followed Xu Damao with the mentality of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.

And he was planning in his heart to stab Xu Damao in the back at any time.

But now he hesitated.

After all, you can't be against money no matter who you are.

Xu Damao is very good at winning people's hearts.

It's just a matter of spending money. Spending more can always buy the other party's loyalty.

With this first cooperation as a foundation, Xu Damao became much bolder.

He was still somewhat wary, though.

So the second time he only took out 80,000 yuan to continue investing.

Li Huaide didn't care about Xu Damao's vigilance.

Anyway, the other party has already taken the bait, so he is not afraid that Xu Damao will escape.

This time when he did business with Xu Damao, he really didn't cheat the other party.

However, Li Huaide’s plan actually lies behind this.

Because Li Huaide has keenly discovered that the project of smuggling electrical appliances cannot last long.

He has been in this business for some time.

So many smuggled electrical appliances entering the inland will definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Once the higher-ups start investigating, he's definitely finished.

Even the connections he has now are of no use.

In fact, his superiors have already reminded him that he can stop doing this business after a while.

So Li Huaide now just regards this business as a side job.

After earning enough money to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life, he planned to take You Fengxia and go abroad.

Xu Damao was just someone he wanted to trick before he left.

Of course, if Xu Damao was the only one around, he wouldn't waste time trying to trick him.

The most important thing is to let him taste the sweetness first.

Later on, he will take the initiative to find ways to raise money for investment.

Although Xu Damao was vigilant, his vision was limited after all.

After making money, his thoughts began to waver.

Now he began to doubt whether his guess was wrong.

Looking at such a high return on investment.

He actually felt a little itchy in his heart.

After all, the more you invest, the more money you make.

Although there may be pitfalls there, as long as you are careful and stop when you have earned enough, that will be fine.

This is similar to the financial scams of passing the parcel between two parties in later generations.

Many people who join the game actually know that this game is just for defrauding money, but they always think that as long as they cash out early, they can make the money.

But in the end, they often lose both their wealth and their personal wealth because of their own greed.
