Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

When Yan Jiecheng told Ni Laoer his idea, the two hit it off.

After mumbling for a while, he finally planned everything. Yan Jiecheng said, "This is my idea, and I am taking a big risk. Today, these 200 pieces of coal are my personal property. This is our first experiment to see if it can be done. When you leave the factory, just deliver the coal to my house. How about it?"

At first, Ni Laoer thought Yan Jiecheng was going to ask for a lot of money, but who would have thought that he was just that capable? At least he could get rid of Yan Jiecheng with 200 pieces of coal at once.

After nodding his head in agreement, he looked down on Yan Jiecheng even more in his heart. If he hadn't wanted to get more coal from the factory, he would have ignored Yan Jiecheng a long time ago.

When it was time to go to work, Ni Laoer got his ticket from the accounting office, which included a stove, five chimneys, and four hundred pieces of coal.

He came to the warehouse with a little trepidation and handed the ticket in his hand to Yan Jiecheng. His slightly trembling hands still betrayed Ni Laoer, even though he looked very calm on the surface.

Compared with Ni Laoer, Yan Jiecheng was somewhat ignorant and fearless. He took the bill from Ni Laoer and said directly to several colleagues in the warehouse, "One furnace, five chimneys, and six hundred pieces of coal."

Seeing the people around him and Ni Laoer moving things, Yan Jiecheng, after recording 600 pieces of coal, rarely stood up and went to help.

Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, Yan Jiecheng started working directly. After all, there were 200 pieces of coal in it that belonged to his family.

When he got home in the evening, Yan Jiecheng was very happy to hear the praise from his family.

It was not because of the praise from his family, but because he had a new way to make money. Yan Jiecheng was very proud.

What administrative level? What does it matter if you have a high level? Even if I am a temporary worker, I will not be worse off than you, a factory manager.

Yan Fugui thought that his eldest son really bought 200 pieces of coal for the family today, and rewarded each of them with a glass of watered-down wine during dinner.

Yan Jiecheng was full of energy and no longer looked lifeless as before. He drank the wine in one gulp.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to speak out this time, and he just fell under the table.

Yan Fugui looked at his son drinking and curled his lips, thinking it was a waste. He would give him less when he paid next month. It would be a waste if he drank too much. He got drunk without even tasting anything.

It's another Monday. Ever since the factory's development got on the right track, Old Man Lu stopped attending meetings and just lived in the gatehouse and never came out. He said that he was old and didn't know anything and couldn't even continue the conversation in meetings.

It's the same with or without him. I just won't come. Wu Haiyan complains every day that there are too few people and too much work. If I had known it would be like this, I should have stayed in the street office.

On Monday morning, Chen Changan and Wu Haiyan held a meeting. According to the previous discussion between the two, Chen Changan asked Wu Haiyan to go to the warehouse to check the goods every Monday, whether in the morning or afternoon, when no one was there. At the end of each month, check whether the remaining goods in the factory are consistent with the bills.

The warehouse was supposed to be inspected last week, and Wu Haiyan was complaining that she couldn't help. Seeing that she couldn't escape this time, Wu Haiyan took Yan Jiefang directly to the warehouse.

Seeing Wu Haiyan and Yan Jiefang coming to the warehouse to check the accounts, Yan Jiecheng was shocked. Then he realized that he had only done it once, and at most it was a loss. For 200 yuan of coal, without any evidence, what could they do to him?

Wu Haiyan's subsequent actions made Yan Jiecheng completely relieved. This was not an audit at all, it was just a perfunctory matter.

Wu Haiyan just looked at the general ledger to see how much had come in, how much had been taken out, and how much was left in the warehouse.

The remaining ones are piled up in the warehouse. Count them. I want to see if you can count them clearly.

Wu Haiyan was helpless as she looked at the mountains of honeycomb coal in the warehouse. She asked several people in the warehouse, including herself and Yan Jiefang, to count each of them.

I counted it twice and it was different. In the end, there were several hundred yuan more.

Looking at the crowd queuing outside to buy coal, he went straight to find Chen Changan.

Chen Changan had no good solution for the time being. He expected a group of illiterate people to count the coal clearly. After instructing them to put the coal neatly in the warehouse for easy counting, he went back to work.

After this experience, Yan Jiecheng ushered in spring. With so much coal, Yan Jiecheng became bolder.

In December, heavy snow fell in the city.

In the morning or when cooking, smoke is coming out of every household in the alley.

The biggest change in Beijing recently is that more and more houses have chimneys sticking out of their windows or walls.

More and more units have begun to look for Chen Changan to purchase honeycomb coal and stoves.

However, the business of the processing plant has not changed much. However, the orders from the unit are increasing.

Some other places' coal briquette shops also started to make honeycomb coal. After all, it does not require much technical content.

It may take two to three days to get to Chen Changan's processing plant

Sometimes coal is needed urgently before it can be delivered.

In the past, I might not feel anything if I waited for a few days, but now it’s snowing heavily outside, and I feel the warmth in the house. I can’t stand being in the cold for two days.

Is this the reason why it is easier to go from frugality to luxury but harder to go from luxury to frugality?

So other coal briquette shops also started selling honeycomb coal, and even stoves and chimneys.

As for the poor quality of the materials and the fragility? The pipes won't last for two years? Isn't that cheaper? If there are holes in the chimney that are rusted, just repair them.

On the basis of being cheap and usable, people will come up with their own solutions.

At the end of the Gregorian calendar year, Chen Changan was called to the street office by Director Wang.

When Chen Changan heard that Director Wang was looking for him, he knew it was not a good thing, and he probably wanted to take advantage of him again. Helpless, Chen Changan reluctantly walked into Director Wang's office.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Director Wang changing the coal for the stove. He looked up and saw Chen Changan coming in, and said, "This stove is good. I didn't feel anything when the weather was not cold, but now that it's cold, I know how good this stove is."

However, Chen Changan was not happy at all. He looked unhappy with the compliments from Director Wang with a sullen face.

Director Wang laughed and said, "What's wrong? The factory is thriving, why are you, the factory director, not happy?"

Chen Changan said, "Okay, Aunt Wang, stop making fun of me. Just tell me what you want from me. Let me die quickly."

Director Wang continued with a smile, "Look at what you said. What kind of words are these? What kind of words are these? What kind of words are these? How can I let our God of Wealth die?"

Okay, now it’s confirmed, I’m going to ask for the money.

Chen Changan said helplessly, "Auntie Wang, what did you say at the beginning? I remember when we went to the processing plant on the first day, I said that the gatehouse was too old, and you told me to fix it myself with the money I earned. I didn't ask the street office for money, right?

But I haven't repaired anything yet, and you're already thinking about the money I just got. Tell me, is there any leader like you?"
