Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Li Huaide smiled kindly, while Xu Damao smiled with trepidation. This man never brought good news. After his last visit, the Dong family became history dust. What would happen after this visit?

But not going wasn't an option either. Seeing He Yuzhu leaving everyone else in the dust, I had done some things myself, but I still couldn't bring them to the forefront.

He Yuzhu helped a lot, but relying solely on his subordinates to buy and sell is not a solution; they need to seek a more formalized approach.
Li Huaide found a restaurant and booked a private room. Whether he could conquer Xu Damao today depended on this moment. There was really no time to waste. If he could take down Xu Damao, hehe!

"Da Mao, let's get straight to the point. I have a batch of television sets. Do you want them?"

Compared to being cautious around He Yuzhu, Li Huaide was much more relaxed around Xu Damao, because this was the same sycophant who used to fawn over him.
"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." Even after several years, one's personality will not change. Such a person cannot become a powerful figure; he can only rely on the strong. According to the information he has obtained, Xu Damao did not join He Yuzhu.
Logically speaking, the two are childhood friends who grew up together, and He Yuzhu should be supporting Xu Damao. However, in reality, this doesn't seem to be the case. He Yuzhu has been very successful, while Xu Damao is fighting alone, and their relationship seems to be strained!

"My dear Director Li, do you think I have that much power? A TV costs several hundred yuan, where would I get that much money?"

Xu Damao was shocked. Good heavens, Li Huaide's appetite was too big. A batch of televisions, how much money would that cost? He was still complacent about becoming a millionaire, and Li Huaide had already started tinkering with televisions. How crazy!

To be honest, without He Yuzhu overseeing things, Xu Damao really wouldn't have had the ability to do this, and even if he did, he wouldn't have dared to.

The Dong family has already withdrawn in disgrace, let alone myself. Besides, Li Huaide's things definitely don't have proper documentation, and if things go wrong, I might end up working as a sewing machine operator. It's not worth it no matter how you look at it!
"Da Mao, I thought you were a man of great courage, but now it seems you're nothing special. It's just a TV show, what's the big deal? The changes in the south are beyond your imagination!"

Li Huaide frowned. Was this still the Xu Damao he knew? Such immense wealth had befallen him, and now he was backing out!

"My former boss, you think too highly of me. How many units are in one batch? How much does it cost? Could you give me a heads-up so I can see if I can handle it?"

Does Xu Damao want to get rich? Of course he does. Not to mention He Yuzhu, even Liu Haizhong has become rich. He wears a suit and tie, has a TV and a washing machine, and wow, he even has a telephone installed in his house.

This is even more impressive than He Yuzhu's. Although everyone knows that Liu Haizhong is not as rich as He Yuzhu, he has all the necessary resources.
Is Xu Damao, who loves to show off, content with this? Of course not, but what can he do? He lacks the ability, so all he can do is envy!
"One thousand units, three hundred each, you can easily buy five or six hundred, the total price is three hundred thousand, how about that? Not too much, right?"

Li Huaide confidently extended his index finger and casually stated a price; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a thirty-yuan deal.

Xu Damao nearly slipped off his stool. "Damn it," he thought, "you're talking big! Three hundred thousand? You think I'm worth three hundred thousand? That's not much! What kind of joke is this?"
"Old boss, don't tease me. You've seen the world, so naturally you wouldn't care about 300,000. I'm not like that. 300,000? I've lived all these years and never seen so much money, let alone doubled it after selling it!" Xu Damao shook his head with a wry smile. Was he out of touch with the times, or had he fallen behind? Li Huaide didn't seem to care much about the 300,000. Impossible, right? Making that much money by reselling electronic products twice? Impossible.
If that's true, then He Yuzhu must be making over a million! Not only do his eighteen restaurants bring in a fortune every day, but he also has a trading company that resells electronic products, and he's made a lot of money in the last two years.
The market for electronic watches and radios is already saturated; Li Huaide must have known this news, otherwise, this shipment wouldn't be televisions.
Televisions are expensive items, and people will discuss whether it's worth spending several hundred dollars on one.

Electronic watches no longer exist, and some children can earn some money by working part-time.
"Da Mao, I now know the gap between you and He Yuzhu. You dare to do things that he does, but you don't. If this continues, when will you catch up with He Yuzhu?"
We all have two shoulders and one head, who's worse than whom? If you don't have money, why don't you go to the bank? Why don't you borrow from someone? If you hadn't been my deputy for a few years, would I have given you such a good opportunity?

Li Huaide tried his best to arouse Xu Damao's competitive spirit. They were childhood friends, but He Yuzhu had achieved great success while Xu Damao remained unknown. Li Huaide did not believe that Xu Damao could accept this!
"I'm going to the restroom first. Damao, think it over carefully. If you don't catch up now, you won't even be able to see He Yuzhu's back anymore."

A great opportunity is right in front of you. Think about it carefully and how you can seize the opportunity to catch up with or even surpass He Yuzhu. We are all men, so who is worse than whom?

You know my connections in Beijing. If it weren't for our past relationship, do you think I'd contact you? Think about it!

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he gave You Fengxia a look and left. Xu Damao was still considering it. He could take out a loan or borrow from someone, but the key issue was that Li Huaide's batch of goods did not have the necessary paperwork.
Because he was greatly influenced by He Yuzhu and had witnessed the struggle between He Yuzhu and the Dong family, and knew that He Yuzhu might spend his life in jail if he was not prepared, Xu Damao was reserved about this business deal.

300,000 is a lot, but if we mortgage the two houses in the family, we should be able to get some money back. With He Yuzhu's help, it's not impossible if we work hard, but the risk is too great!
"Mr. Xu, a toast to you!"

You Fengxia knew that Xu Damao was going through a strong internal struggle. At this moment, only by interrupting his thoughts could she continue to bewitch him. Ordinary words were no longer effective; she had to go for a more intense approach!

"please!"

You Fengxia sat down next to Xu Damao, her voice soft and sweet. Combined with her beautiful figure and the fragrance emanating from her body, Xu Damao felt weak and tingly all over, almost as if he were floating on air.

"Mr. Xu, in today's society, money is the only proof of social status. Without money, even childhood friends are useless. With money, luxury cars and beautiful women are inexhaustible."
You've been in Beijing all this time and have never been to Hong Kong Island. That place is a paradise for the rich. As long as you have money, not only women like me, but even big stars would throw themselves at you.

Opportunity only comes once. Seize it and you'll soar to new heights; miss it and you'll regret it for life. Think about it carefully; if you don't seize this chance, heaven won't give you a second one! (End of Chapter)
