Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu had no idea that someone was already planning to make a move. At this moment, he was worried about the waiters. The branch was opening and the service quality could not be reduced, but the children were about to start school!

"Honey, I'm leaving the job of recruiting waiters to you. Train suitable ones through Qin Huairu, using experienced staff to mentor new ones, and strictly adhere to the standards!"

"Understood, Brother Zhu. Has the higher-ups given any clear instructions?"

"No, we have connections in the government, but as for business, we're not afraid of anyone!"

"It's best to be cautious. There's no problem with the drinks, but what about the suppliers?"

"It's an old relationship. He's a supplier to the Ministry of Metallurgy. Unless he doesn't want the Ministry's orders, he wouldn't dare. Of course, we still need to maintain the relationship. I know what I'm doing!"

"That's good. I hope everything goes well!"

Cai Qiuyue wasn't very confident either. To be honest, with the size of the Dong family, unless someone of the same level steps up to challenge them, it's hard to say how they would make their move!
"By the way, Brother Zhu, Ma Hua saw Li Huaide!"

"When?"

He Yuzhu turned around in surprise. Li Huaide? This guy's in Beijing?

"You should ask him yourself. If he comes back, he might get involved with us!"

"how do I say this?"

"Li Huaide and Xu Damao were together; the two of them went into Xingshun Restaurant together!"

He Yuzhu was taken aback. He hadn't seen Xu Damao for a long time since He's Restaurant opened. Wasn't that kid at the movie theater?
"MCA, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Lee Huai-te and Xu Da-mao are together?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to confirm it. Li Huaide was a self-taught man, and he must not let him get involved with the Dong family, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with!
"That's right, Master. The two of them went to Xingshun Restaurant together. Li Huaide was also accompanied by a very beautiful woman. The old man is so lucky with women. He's never short of them. Bah, he's a real scoundrel!"

MCA looked down on Lee Hua Teck when he was at the steel mill, considering him a parasite and a lecher. They thought that once the special period was over, Lee Hua Teck would be a scoundrel, but who knew he would reappear!
The scene shifts back two hours, to Li Huaide and Xu Damao meeting with Dong Yong!

"Da Mao, this is Young Master Dong. If you can catch Young Master Dong's eye, your future will be bright and limitless."

"Young Master Dong, this is Xu Damao, a former subordinate of He Yuzhu. He lived in the same compound as He Yuzhu. You might be interested!"

Li Huaide introduced the two with a smile, explaining that Dong Yong wanted to bankrupt He's Restaurant and that he wanted to use Dong Yong's network of connections to make money.

As for Xu Damao, Li Huaide would never have brought him along if he weren't useful. After all, this kid lived in the same compound as He Yuzhu, giving him a geographical advantage.
"Young Master Dong, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xu Damao. I used to be the deputy director under Director Li. Now I can only sell tickets at the movie theater and make a living. I hope you can forgive my poor appearance!"

Before arriving, Li Huaide had already informed Dong Yong of his identity. Therefore, Xu Damao was extremely humble. He always adhered to the belief that when he was inferior to others, he could bend down and when he surpassed them, he could step on them without any pressure.
He Yuzhu was at the height of his power and wanted to catch up, so he had to seek refuge with an even more powerful figure. Dong Yong was exactly the right person for him!

"Comrade Xu Damao, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

As a third-generation nobleman, Dong Yong naturally had a certain air about him. If he hadn't lived in the same compound as He Yuzhu, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet him. To put it bluntly, they were from different circles.
"Director Li, you didn't come to Beijing this time just to catch up with old friends, did you?"

"Of course. I'm here in Beijing to sell a batch of electronic products. With your huge pigeon market, I have to ask for your help."

Li Huaide chuckled, took the electronic watch that You Fengxia had taken out, and placed it in front of Dong Yong. This young master was only interested in money, so this was, in a way, giving him money.
"What a find! Tell me the price!" Dong Yong's eyes lit up. This was a rare item in the capital. Li Huaide was indeed incredibly resourceful, bringing money to his doorstep!

"At twenty yuan apiece, Young Master Dong can sell them for at least fifty yuan, and I'm sure they'll be sold out in no time!"

Li Huaide smiled confidently. This thing only costs a little over two yuan in the Thirteen Factories. It's not the way they used to operate, so they really can't carry it all!
"Old Li, tell me your bottom line!"

Dong Yong played with the digital watch with great interest. This thing would definitely be popular among young people. He still had to haggle over the price!

"Young Master Dong, this is just a digital watch, take a look at this..."

Li Huaide remained noncommittal. The price was non-negotiable. Dong Yong kept babbling on, and there were others too. He had known quite a few people in the capital over the years, but the others were not as unrestrained as Dong Yong and were more cautious!

"radio?"

Dong Yong picked it up with some skepticism and examined it carefully. It looked very similar to the one at home, but it was smaller and lighter. What a great thing!
"Good eye! This is the new TR-3230, a Sony. Just imagine, if a product like this appeared in the Beijing market, wouldn't it cause a huge stir? Hehe..."

"price!"

Dong Yong was tempted. Good heavens, this thing could definitely gather a large amount of funds in a short time, and the money lost in the price war with He's could definitely be recovered as quickly as possible!

"One hundred and one unit, no deception, you can easily sell it for one hundred and fifty!"

Li Huaide looked at Dong Yong meaningfully, not afraid that the kid wouldn't be tempted. This trip to the capital would be enough to earn him a hundred thousand or so!

"Old Li, we've known each other for a long time, haven't we? Your father-in-law and my grandfather were comrades-in-arms. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha's feelings. Lower your stance a bit!"

Dong Yong frowned. Money was not a problem, but the dispute with the He family was about to begin, and it would be inappropriate to suddenly withdraw funds without approval!
"Young Master Dong, it wasn't easy for these items to come to the capital. You can't expect me to make no profit at all, can you? This is already the bottom price."

Besides, this isn't even my goods; the bulk of it belongs to Hong Kong businessmen. Transporting it from the port to Beijing is a huge expense.

"Young Master Dong, this batch of goods will definitely sell in the shortest possible time. To put it bluntly, you're the only one in the entire capital who has this stuff!"

Li Huaide sneered, "If I weren't unsuitable for making a big public appearance, how could such a good thing have fallen into your lap?"

If He Yuzhu weren't so rule-abiding, he wouldn't have bothered with an ignorant fool like you. Do you really think you're a businessman?

"How much stock do we have? This isn't a small amount of money; we need to prepare in advance!"

"The electronic watches are in stock, totaling three thousand yuan, and we can continue to supply them. The radios will arrive in Beijing in ten days, five hundred units!"

Li Huaide's lips curled up. He knew before he came that this kid would definitely agree. As for Xu Damao next to him, neither of them paid any attention to him.

Dong Yong believed Xu Damao wouldn't dare to speak recklessly. As for Li Huaide? He mainly wanted to demonstrate his power to Xu Damao. The capital needed a proxy, and Xu Damao was shrewd enough—perfect! (End of Chapter)
