Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"No, Dad, why did you just agree to my sister-in-law? We can still increase the price."

When Yan Jiefang saw that Yan Bugui agreed to Yu Li, he became extremely anxious.

"That's right, Dad. I can raise the price too."

Yan Jiekuang also echoed.

"okay."

Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "Xie Cheng is right. After all, they worked hard to find out about this. It's against the rules for you to do this."

Several people curled their lips instantly.

What's against the rules?

Why didn’t you say anything just now?

Don’t you think they pay too little?

Several people are regretting it now, they should have said more earlier.

Now, there is nothing to gain.

Yan Jie Di was more flexible in her thinking. She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, when you go talk to Brother Liangzi, ask for an extra quota. I will also give you 10% of the profit every month, just like my sister-in-law."

"Dad, me too."

"Dad, me too."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang also spoke quickly.

"You think too much. I'm not that prestigious. It's good enough if I can get one."

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes when he heard this.

If he had such a great reputation, they wouldn't need to say anything.

How could he miss the opportunity to make money?

Cao Liang will probably give one spot if you ask for one, but if you ask for several, you might not even get the last one.

He still has a clear understanding of this kind of thing.

Several people looked regretful when they heard this.

But everyone knows that what Yan Bugui said is right.

Yan Jiecheng urged, "Dad, why don't you go and tell Cao Liang now? He happens to be at home."

"Alright."

Yan Bugui stood up, went back to the house and got a bottle of wine. What was rare was that the wine he got was not diluted with water.

Then he went out the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw Cao Liang and Xu Damao drinking in front of Cao Liang's house.

Yan Bugui walked over.

"Hey, Liangzi, Damao, are you drinking? That's great. I brought some wine. Shall we have a few drinks together?"

Xu Damao glanced at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "It's rare that Teacher Yan brought the wine himself, so of course there's no problem."

"Liangzi, please stop teasing me. I'm not a stingy person."

Xu Damao moved a stool for him.

Yan Bugui went over and sat down, and when he saw the roasted chicken on the table, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Xu Damao and Cao Liang looked at each other, and seeing that Yan Bugui didn't say anything, they didn't say anything either.

But Yan Bugui is such a stingy person, but he actually took the initiative to bring wine to the door. There must be something wrong.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, I'll toast you a glass. In the whole courtyard, apart from Liangzi's family, I am most optimistic about your family. I don't even bother to talk about the others."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Liangzi is certainly a capable man. I heard that he recently opened a store and his business is booming."

Xu Damao was also a little drunk, and couldn't help boasting: "This is nothing, Liangzi opened a factory in their hometown, and now he has a hundred workers under him."

Oh?

Yan Bugui looked at Cao Liang and said in shock: "Liangzi, you have accomplished such a big thing without making any noise, it's really amazing."

Cao Liang said modestly: "It's just a small thing to make some money to support my family."

Yan Bugui asked tentatively: "Liangzi, are you still going to hire people in your factory? You know, none of the people in my family have proper jobs. If they did, you would have to take care of them!"

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan. The factory is now fully staffed. As you know, I'm looking after the factory in my hometown, so I naturally have to give priority to the people in the village, otherwise they will definitely make trouble."

"It's okay. If you need to hire someone in the future, remember to tell Uncle Yan!"

Yan Bugui refused to give up.

"sure."

Cao Liang also responded perfunctorily.

Then the three of them fell silent.

Yan Bugui is really thick-skinned, as if he is afraid of losing out.

He brought the wine himself and drank most of it.

That would have been fine, as Cao Liang and Xu Damao only ate half of the roast chicken, while Yan Bugui finished the rest himself.

Really...

After having his fill, Yan Bugui still hadn’t forgotten his business.

He said, "Liangzi, I heard from Jie Cheng and his wife that your store is looking for wholesalers? I wonder if you can give my family a spot?"

Cao Liang suddenly realized.

When he saw Yan Bugui coming over with wine, he guessed that it might be this.

Thinking back to the time when Aunt Yan often ran errands for him and reported news, and often came to the Cao family to help, although she always asked for benefits, she did help.

And there is no harm in giving one quota.

After all, it's the same as giving it to outsiders.

The relationship between his family and the Yan family is pretty good.

So he nodded and said, "Since Teacher Yan has asked, I will definitely give you this favor, but there are not many places left, so I can only give you one."

Xu Damao curled his lips after hearing this.

What do you mean there are not many places? Isn’t it Cao Liang who has the final say on how many places there are?

He was just warning Yan Bugui not to push his luck further.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the Yan family, and if several of them are needed at once, what will happen?

Yan Bugui had the same idea as Xu Damao and felt the same way.

But they really misunderstood Cao Liang.

Although there are twenty machines now, except for those sold in the store, the rest have all been taken away by wholesalers.

Those who come late will not get the goods.

Or we produce too little, otherwise we could earn more.

Cao Liang is now continuing to let Chi Hu contact Lou Bancheng in order to get more machines.

"Thank you, Liangzi. Come on, Uncle Yan will give you a toast."

Yan Bugui was very happy to get the quota.

After toasting, Yan Bugui asked, "Then Liangzi, when are you going to get the certificate?"

Cao Liang said, "Just ask Yan Jiecheng and his wife to come to the store to see me tomorrow."

After a few polite words, Yan Bugui went back.

Seeing that there was nothing left on the table, Xu Damao and Cao Liang were speechless.

Xu Damao complained: "This old Yan is really shameless. He basically drank all the wine and food by himself. He drank a lot of not only the wine he brought, but also the wine I brought. He really didn't suffer any loss at all."

Cao Liang laughed and said, "It's been so many years, and you still don't know who he is?"

"Look! He can bring wine to me, it must be Yan Jiecheng and his wife who gave him some benefits."

"That's for sure. Old Yan is a man of few words who will not do anything without profit. He will definitely not do anything that does not benefit him."

Xu Damao nodded and said with emotion: "But you said that the Yan family is really something. The family members have to calculate everything clearly. In my opinion! In the future, Yan Jiecheng and his friends will probably not be willing to support Yan Bugui and his wife in their old age."

"This is a conspiracy. Yan Jiecheng and his gang have been schemed against since they were young. In the end, even their family affection was schemed away. What is their purpose?"

Cao Liang raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

This Xu Damao is something.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Xu Damao is a clear-headed person in the world, right?

He actually hit the nail on the head and guessed Yan Bugui’s final outcome. That’s pretty cool.
