Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

A courtyard house with one entrance.

in the room.

Cao Liang, Gangzi and a few others were sitting around the table.

Cao Liang bought this yard two years ago.

Moreover, he bought not only this one, but also several others, including two-story ones.

This kind of yard will be very valuable in the future.

On the table, there was a plate of bowls and a big pot.

"smell good!"

There were some yellow curved noodles in the pot. Wang Dong smelled the fragrant smell and swallowed his saliva. "Liangzi, can we eat it now?"

Cao Liang picked up a bowl, picked up a few noodles, looked at them, and nodded, "Okay, everyone try it and see how it tastes."

After he finished speaking, Wang Dong was the first to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat the noodles in the pot.

Gangzi, Gu Wen, and Monkey were not willing to lag behind.

ten minutes later.

Wang Dong leaned back in his chair, touched his belly and said with emotion: "Liangzi, you have good taste. This noodle tastes great."

"instant noodles."

Gu Wen corrected him and then said, "It is also convenient to eat. You only need to soak it in boiling water for five minutes before eating. Once it is made, it will definitely sell well."

It is now 1980, and we can start private business.

Cao Liang has been waiting for this moment and has already started planning.

And instant noodles is one of them.

If electrical appliances are convenient, it is natural to do so, but there is no rush.

Cao Liang looked at Monkey and asked, "Have you found a store?"

"I've found it. It's near Dongzhimen. It's about 50 square meters."

Monkey nodded and said, "I have already gone to the street office to file a case and paid the rent."

It would actually be better if we could buy it, but the private sector has just started, so we have to wait and see.

Gu Wen said: "Liangzi, where is the factory built?"

Cao Liang asked Chi Hu to get the machine in Hong Kong, and it is now on the way back.

Now that you have the machine, you can start making it.

Although he could also ask Chi Hu to get the goods from Hong Kong, that would be too troublesome.

Although it costs more to buy a machine directly, it is a one-time solution.

In his opinion, adding some seasonings from later generations to the existing convenience will definitely make it taste better.

You will definitely make a lot of money then.

Instant noodles are the first step in his business journey.

Cao Liang had already thought about it before, and he answered: "I plan to build a factory in my hometown. It's not too far from the city, and there are plenty of places."

Otherwise, if you are in the old city, it would be very difficult to get a location alone, and you need to go through a lot of procedures.

But it’s different in the countryside. Now the country is in a state of ups and downs. Building a factory in the countryside can also solve the employment problems of rural farmers, which is also a good thing.

Of course, the benefits are definitely not as good as those in formal units.

But the salary is definitely not low.

There is naturally no problem for others.

Gu Wen asked: "Liangzi, how much money do we need to invest in the early stage?"

Cao Liang said: "One machine costs more than 5,000 yuan, and six machines are already 30,000 yuan. There are also rents for renting a store, materials, building a factory, and hiring workers. The initial cost is estimated to be 100,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Gu Wen took out a tall stack of money from his bag, "Liangzi, this is what I have saved over the years. Here are five thousand, and there is no more."

Gangzi also took out a wad of money, "Liangzi, I have seven thousand."

The monkey said, "I have less, only three thousand."

Seeing that Wang Dong didn't move, everyone else looked at him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Wang Dong took out the money depressedly and said helplessly: "I can't compare with you. I only have one thousand here."

Cao Liang didn't say anything and just kept the money.

It is imperative that brothers settle accounts clearly.

When we are doing business together, it is impossible for Cao Liang to pay for everything.

Otherwise, they will feel embarrassed to take the money later.

Gu Wen joked, "Dongzi, you are the only one among us who is not married. If you are well-fed, the whole family will not be hungry. Where is your salary over the years?"

We have all resigned now, but we made a lot of money in the past.

Logically speaking, Wang Dong should be the richest, but now it is the opposite.

"Don't ask. If you ask, it will cost you money."

Wang Dong kept silent.

But everyone knows it and is too lazy to talk about him.

Gangzi said earnestly: "Dongzi, you'd better find a wife to take care of you as soon as possible, otherwise no matter how much money you make in the future, it won't be enough for you to spend."

Wang Dong snorted, "Who are you looking down on? I already have a partner."

The brothers looked at him in shock.

Wang Dong was anxious, "No, what do you mean? You look down on me, don't you? I'll bring it to you some other day."

"I hope you're not kidding this time."

Gu Wen chuckled.

At this time, Qin Jingru came in from outside and said anxiously, "Brother Liangzi, something happened to the children. My sister-in-law and aunt have gone there. Let me tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Dong slammed the table and said angrily: "In this area, there are still people who dare to bully my nephew. They are courting death!"

Gu Wen and Gangzi also had cold expressions on their faces.

They came here today and brought their son with them, and then they took Dabao out to play.

"Walk."

Cao Liang didn't waste any words. He just stood up and walked out with a few brothers, with a cold look on his face.

...

half an hour ago.

Dabao took his younger brother and sister out to play.

The kids played for a while and then walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Tuanzi said, "Brother, I want to drink soda."

"Big brother, we want to drink too."

Gangzi's son Tiedan, Gu Wen's son Xiaodou, and Houzi's daughter Xiaoyu and son Xiaodong also spoke up.

Xu Xiao was there too, but he was more sensible and not familiar enough with Dabao and the others, so he didn't say anything.

Well...

Dabao said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to buy it for you, it's just that I don't have enough money."

Meng Xiaoxing was very strict with him. Lou Xiao'e had given him a hundred yuan before, but in the end Meng Xiaoxing only left him one yuan.

A bottle of soda costs 20 cents now, and there are seven of them, so they don’t have enough money.

"And dumplings, mom said you are still young, so I won't let you drink this."

"I don't want it. I just want to drink it."

Tuanzi pouted and said, "Brother, if you don't buy it for me, I will tell dad that you bullied me."

Dabao: "..."

This is really useful. Every time Tuanzi complains, Cao Liang will definitely punish him without giving him a chance to explain. It's really speechless.

"How about buying five bottles and drinking together?"

Dabao suggested.

Xu Xiao suddenly said, "Brother Dabao, I have money here."

"how much do you have?"

Dabao asked.

"I don't know."

Xu Xiao took out a handful of money from his pocket, each of which contained at least one dollar.

The eyes of the children sparkled and they enviously said, "Xu Xiao, your family is so kind to you that they actually gave you so much money."

Dabao also envied: "Exactly, unlike me, I have a lot of pocket money, but my mother doesn't give me any."

His pocket money and New Year's money, over the years, probably amount to thousands of dollars.

But they are all in Meng Xiaoxing's hands.
