Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Is she worried that I'm not good to Bang Geng and the others? I ask myself, are we really sincere to them?"

Sha Zhu hummed, "Besides, they are all grown up now, Bang Geng has a job, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua can get married, isn't that enough?"

Ah!

Xu Damao sneered, "Silly Zhu, you are too naive."

"Think about it, if the Jia family didn't have your salary, would they still be able to live as comfortably as they do now?"

"Only relying on Qin Huairu's salary of about 30 yuan? It's good enough to be able to support the whole family, not to mention that old hag Jia Zhang has to take medicine every month?"

"They plan to make you suck their family's blood for the rest of your life!"

"Once you have your own children, will you still be willing to spend all your money on them?"

Silly Zhu was silent.

But he already had the answer in his mind, which was definitely not the case.

He must keep some money for his children.

After a while.

Sha Zhu refused to give up and said, "This is just your guess. Sister Qin went to the hospital that day, but I accompanied her personally. It must not be her problem."

"Innocent."

Xu Damao sneered, "As long as Qin Huairu doesn't want to have a child for you, she has several ways to prevent herself from getting pregnant. The simplest one is to take medicine."

"Have you ever heard of those businesses that operate half-open doors?"

"Why do you think they have been in business for so long but haven't gotten pregnant?"

"No, no, Sister Qin won't do that. She has already promised to give birth to a child for me."

In fact, Sha Zhu had already believed most of it, but he still didn't give up.

He is just that kind of person. He won't turn back until he hits a wall.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out in the end in the original book. He deserved it.

Xu Damao stood up, he was too lazy to say anything more.

"Silly Zhu, even though we have fought for our entire lives, we grew up together. I would like to give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to become a family extinct, you'd better stay away from the Jia family. That's all I have to say. It doesn't matter if you don't want to listen. I'm leaving now."

Xu Damao left.

Sha Zhu fell into deep thought.

...

In a large courtyard.

Li Shengli returned to his home with a haggard-looking man.

"Uncle, sit down."

He poured a glass of water for the weathered man, "Uncle, drink some water."

The weathered man nodded slightly, took a sip of water, and looked around the house. "I'm relieved to see that you're doing well now. I was worried that your family would be implicated because of my affairs."

The weathered man was none other than Li Shengli's uncle, Li Huaide.

It has been more than a month since he was released.

It wasn't until today that he contacted Lee Seung-ri.

"I was definitely affected, and it was quite severe."

Li Shengli shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Liangzi's kindness and giving us a meal, maybe our whole family would have to beg."

Li Huaide was startled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Are you talking about Cao Liang?"

"It was him." Li Shengli said with emotion: "When I returned to Sijiu City, your former friends and comrades avoided me and even pretended not to know me. Only Liangzi extended a helping hand to me."

Li Huaide agreed: "Cao Liang is indeed a capable guy. I even suspect that he deliberately distanced himself from me because he saw that I would have such a thing."

"How is that possible?" Li Shengli was a little shocked.

"How is it impossible?"

Li Huaide shook his head slightly and said, "How else can we explain why he was so low-key later? In the beginning, he did a lot of big moves."

Li Shengli didn't know what to say.

But things have passed, and there is no point in dwelling on them now.

He asked, "Uncle, where do you live now? I also rented the annex next door. How about I clean it up and let you live there first?"

"No need, I have a place to stay."

Li Huaide shook his head.

Li Shengli did not force him and continued, "Uncle, how about I talk to Liangzi and ask you to become a wholesaler? That way you can also make a living."

Because of the impact of the events of the past ten years, no one would want Li Huaide to work properly.

Besides, he is used to being a leader and he cannot do ordinary physical work, so Li Shengli said that.

"I've also heard about that wholesaler. Cao Liang is really smart. He must have made a lot of money from this one, but..."

Li Huaide shook his head slowly, "But I already have my own plan. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to make a lot of money."

"I came here today to ask you if you want to work with me."

"doing what?"

Li Huaide shook his head. "I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when it's done."

Li Shengli pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Uncle, forget it. I am already very satisfied with my current life. At least I have enough food and clothing."

"it is good."

...

A month later.

The TV was finally delivered.

Cao Liang rented another store and started selling.

But because the price is too expensive, one costs seven or eight hundred yuan, which is enough to buy a job. Who would be willing to buy a TV?

After a week, only one unit was sold, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

The monkey sat at the door of the store and complained gloomily, "Boss, this meal is not tasty! I think we should just forget it! I'd better run the wholesale store well."

Now Brothers Wholesale is under the management of Qin Jingru, who has a few other employees, so Monkey has nothing to do.

So I followed Cao Liang here to sell televisions.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't this just the beginning?"

Cao Liang didn't care at all and asked, "Monkey, why do you think it can't be sold?"

The monkey answered without thinking: "Of course it's too expensive, hundreds of dollars! Not many people can afford it."

“That’s one aspect, but it’s not the most important one.”

Cao Liang did not comment.

"What is the most important thing?" asked the monkey.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "You have to know that there are still many rich people in Beijing. A few hundred yuan is nothing to them."

"As for why they can't sell? Of course, it's because they don't know that TVs are sold here."

Monkey's eyes lit up and he said, "Boss, you know a lot of leaders, why don't you sell it to them?"

"That's one way, but it's too troublesome."

Cao Liang shook his head. "Let's wait a couple of days before we talk about this! I've already got an idea."

"All right!"

In the afternoon, Cao Liang closed the shop and went home with Monkey.

While eating.

Meng Xiaoxing asked, "Liangzi, how are the TVs selling?"

Cao Liang shook his head and asked, "What about you?"

"It's OK. I made some money."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiaoxing became interested. She said happily, "Xiao'e and I have already discussed it. We will rent a place to set up a garment factory in a few days."

"If we produce it ourselves, the cost will be much lower, but there is also a problem, that is, our denim styles are too single, and we need to make some other styles later."
