Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

The big boss looked up at He Yuzhu, then looked at the chessboard and asked, "Do you agree?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I haven't agreed to it yet. But I have this idea."

The big boss smiled and said, "Even if Yan Jiekuang doesn't want to partner with you, I still want to talk to you about this after a while. Have you ever thought about what dish to cook?!"

He Yuzhu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Boss! To be honest, I have been thinking about opening a restaurant for a long time. I think if I want to gain a foothold as quickly as possible, in addition to the taste, it must also be of good quality and low price, and to put it bluntly, it must be down-to-earth. I think Sichuan cuisine is the most down-to-earth. So I plan to focus on Sichuan cuisine in this first restaurant. After it becomes famous, I will do other dishes."

"Your idea is very good. It seems that you have put some thought into it." The senior leader agreed and asked, "I heard that Yan Jiekuang did not accept the job assigned by the school?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Big boss, you are wrongly accusing Yan Jiekuang. He originally accepted the school's assignment and wanted to shine in the new position. Unfortunately, the director of their school, Mr. Song, is such a jerk. He has been withholding Yan Jiekuang's assignment form. Yan Jiekuang waited for more than a month without any news, so he found another way out. You can't just hang yourself on a tree, right?!"

The big boss thought about it, nodded in agreement, and asked, "You and Yan Jiekuang are opening a restaurant together. Have you thought about your retreat plan?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I plan to take a leave of absence first. If the restaurant can survive, I will continue to operate. If it cannot, I can go back to work."

The big boss pondered for a few seconds, put down a chess piece, and asked thoughtfully: "How long do you think your factory can last?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Boss, it's hard to say. It depends on whether the higher-ups continue to give us tasks. If they don't, it won't be long before our factory closes down." After a brief pause, He Yuzhu continued: "Boss, let me put it bluntly. The Red Star Steel Mill is rotten from the root. If you want to revive the Red Star Steel Mill, you have to dig out the rotten roots. It's not easy to dig out the rotten roots!"

The big boss laughed and said, "Everyone says you're stupid. I think you're really smart." Then he asked, "What delicious food are you going to make for me today?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Scallion-fried sea cucumber and candied abalone."

The boss's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "The sea cucumber with scallions is pretty good. But the sweet-heart abalone is very particular about the cooking time. If it's overcooked, it won't have the jelly texture of the sweet heart."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Big boss, just hold it today! I guarantee you will enjoy your meal."

At the same time, a car drove into Shajing Hutong. After the car stopped, Lou Xiao'e got out of the car. When Lou Xiao'e was about to knock on the door, Su Zihui just came out of the yard. Su Zihui saw Lou Xiao'e and smiled and called out, "Sister Xiao'e!"

Lou Xiao'e walked up to Su Zihui and asked, "Where is your Jie Kuang?!"

Su Zihui replied, "At home!" Then he asked, "Are you looking for him?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "I have already completed the paperwork he requested. I sent it to him specially. It was my bad luck that I got on your guy's pirate ship. Now I can't get off even if I want to."

Su Zihui smiled and joked: "You two are like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten."

Lou Xiao'e reached out and poked Su Zihui's forehead, saying, "You! You only know how to gloat over other people's misfortunes." Then she asked, "Are you free next month?!"

Su Zihui replied, "Yes, I am free! I am still on summer vacation. I will report on August 8th."

Lou Xiao'e said: "The bank's headquarters building has been completed. I will go to Gangcheng with Jie Kuang next month to cut the ribbon."

Su Zihui said, "Okay! We will definitely be there next month. But you have to send us an invitation in advance."

"Okay! I'll send it to you in two days. Then I'll go in and find your man first." After saying that, Lou Xiao'e walked towards the courtyard.

Su Zihui glanced at Lou Xiao'e's back and walked towards the entrance of the alley with a smile.

Yan Jiekuang, who was playing with his children in the yard, saw Lou Xiaoe coming in from outside and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Xiaoe, you came quite early~!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "The big boss has spoken. How dare I neglect him?!" Then Lou Xiao'e handed the file bag in her hand to Yan Jiekuang and said, "Here are the materials you wanted."

Yan Jiekuang took the file bag, opened it, took out the document, looked at it, and said, "With this, I can register a wholly-owned company in China."

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Yan Jiekuang, are you really planning to make fried food?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Don't underestimate speculation. If you do it well, you can make as much money as speculating in land."

Lou Xiao'e thought about it and asked, "I want to invest, too. Will you take me with you?!"

Yan Jiekuang laughed and asked, "Why do you want to get involved in every business?!"

Lou Xiao'e snorted and said, "Hurry up! Just tell me whether you are willing or not?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "How much do you plan to invest?!"

Lou Xiao'e asked back: "You should at least tell me what your total share capital is?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "I plan to register this company with a capital of 500,000 yuan. I will also prepare another 500,000 yuan as payment for goods and reserve funds."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "This is just a small investment. Can this company succeed?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "How much are the prices now? One million is already a lot. If everything goes well, I can get my money back in two years at most."

Lou Xiao'e said, "I'll put in 200,000 yuan, plus the operating team. 35% of the shares isn't too much, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang thought about it, nodded and said, "Deal! Then I'll leave the registration of the company to you. I'll go order some equipment for the factory. Then I'll go find some raw materials. As for the company's office location, I'll arrange it." Then he asked, "How is the bank now?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "According to the plan you made, our bank is developing better and better. In addition, our new headquarters building will be completed next month. I will send you an invitation letter tomorrow. Don't forget to come to Hong Kong City to cut the ribbon next month."

Yan Jiekuang was slightly stunned and asked in surprise: "It's finished so quickly?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "As you said, we hired a domestic construction team. They built the building really fast. Now many real estate companies are interested in them."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Lou Xiao'e! You have worked so hard!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and joked: "Since you know I've worked hard, as the boss, you should give me a bigger bonus."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Lou Xiao'e, are you still short of this little bonus?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied: "I really need this bonus."

"Okay!" Yan Jiekuang agreed readily: "This year your year-end bonus will be doubled, and your salary will also be doubled. Are you satisfied now?!"

Seeing Yan Jiekuang's silly look, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! I won't tease you anymore. I'll take your three children home to play with them for two days. I'll bring them back to you in a few days."

"Okay! I'll go pack their things!" Yan Jiekuang walked into the house. About ten minutes later, Yan Jiekuang came out with three small schoolbags and said, "Lou Xiao'e, ask your people to complete the company's formalities as soon as possible. When your people have completed the formalities, I will take Xiaohui to the place where we worked in the production team before and find a source of goods for our roasted nuts company."
