Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Over the years, only Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, and He Yuzhu have been superior to him in the entire compound. Yi Zhonghai is long dead, and He Yuzhu looks down on such a business. Therefore, after considering several candidates, only Yan Bugui is suitable.
As for Xu Damao, forget about him. This kid is becoming more and more like Xu Fugui, even surpassing him. More importantly, Xu Damao was the first person Li Huaide came into contact with, so we have to eliminate Xu Damao as an uncertain factor!
"Yes, Da Mao didn't forget us when he had the chance to make money, that's how he made money. The current era is a good era that has never been seen in a thousand years, and it is also a good era for us ordinary people to change our destiny."
But Lao Liu, while we've made money this time, things might be different in the future. Such a good opportunity is rare and hard to come by. Unlike Zhu Zi, who makes a fortune every day!

Yan Bugui took a sip of wine with a satisfied smile. He had already sold his house to He Yuzhu, so as soon as the money from the TV sale arrived on the first day, he secretly bought a small courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

You can never be without a home. Selling the house to Zhuzi before was out of necessity, but now that we have money, we naturally want to buy a house as soon as possible.
As for so-called face, it means nothing in front of Yan Bugui. Only a fool like Liu Haizhong would be so smug after making a little money.
The richest person in the entire compound is He Yuzhu, but looking at Zhuzi's behavior over the years, has he become arrogant? No, to be honest, nobody knows how much money Zhuzi has made over the years;

Sometimes, Yan Bugui thought that Zhu Zi himself didn't even know how much money he had. Putting aside everything else, look at his son's small restaurant, which used to earn over a hundred yuan a day. And look at He's Restaurant, which was always packed. Such a big restaurant could probably earn several hundred yuan a day.

Over the years, who could possibly guess how much money Zhu Zi has made? Looking at Liu Haizhong's smug expression, Yan Bugui let out a mocking sneer. Dog meat can't be served at a proper banquet!

As for this guy's purpose, Yan Bugui couldn't figure it out for the time being, but after being so arrogant for so long, he suddenly invited him to dinner. He must have something up his sleeve. Who wouldn't take a free meal?
As for what this guy is about to say, if there's a benefit, I'll naturally agree; if not, well, I'd better go somewhere cool and stay put. I'm still thinking about what Zhu Zi asked me to do, and that's not something that's easy to accomplish. I need to plan it out carefully!
"Hehe, Lao Yan, I've found a chance to make a fortune. As long as we hold on tightly to this big tree, the likes of He Yuzhu will catch up with or even surpass us sooner or later. Lao Yan, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Haizhong had no idea that Yan Bugui had thought so much in such a short time, and even regarded himself as a worthless piece of trash. If he had known, he probably wouldn't be sitting here so smug.

"Oh? Haha, I'd like to hear that. Who doesn't like making money? Haha..."

Yan Bugui didn't believe that Liu Haizhong, that idiot, could have any good ideas. If He Yuzhu had said such a thing, he would have taken it as a royal decree. As for Liu Haizhong, well, forget it, don't fall into the trap!
"Hehe, Lao Yan, let me tell you the truth, the reason why Xu Damao was able to get so many goods this time is because of Director Li, the former head director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Director Li."
Most importantly, that bastard Xu Damao didn't give us the price Li Huaide offered, but rather the price that was increased by 100 yuan.

Old Yan, we've worked so hard for so long to make a wedding dress for Xu Damao, and he's taken so much of the money. It's really frustrating.

Therefore, I suggest we contact Li Huaide directly; that way we can earn more, what do you say? I'll handle the liaison!

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he confidently raised his glass. Yan Bugui couldn't possibly refuse such a good deal, especially since he had just made a huge profit! "Old Liu, Da Mao gave us such a great opportunity, so it's only right that he takes a cut. Besides, the one who signed the contract with us is his cousin."
Old Liu, to put it bluntly, Da Mao also has a large number of people under his command. Why do these people work for Da Mao? Aren't they hired by Da Mao?
We've profited, so we can't let Da Mao suffer a loss. Therefore, Da Mao taking a cut is no problem. As for your suggestion to contact Li Huaide directly...

Didn't he plot against you? That shows he's not a very upright person. Would it be okay for us to contact him directly? After all, we have a grudge, don't we?"

Yan Bugui was taken aback. Liu Haizhong actually wanted to bypass Xu Damao and contact Li Huaide directly. There was naturally no problem with that, but the premise was that Li Huaide would treat Liu Haizhong the same way Damao did.

Wasn't all the suffering Liu Haizhong endured on the farm caused by Li Huaide? Didn't we used to hate each other so much when we chatted? How come we're in contact again?
"Haha... Old Yan, the misunderstandings of the past are over. People can't live in the past forever, can they? Besides, Li Huaide can bring us real benefits. Does the past really matter?"
In this rapidly developing era, whoever can bring us money-making opportunities is our honored guest. What are those petty grudges compared to that?

Liu Haizhong scoffed, "So what if you, Yan Bugui, are literate? You still can't see through things. No wonder you can't make money even when opportunities come your way. You deserve to be a poor wretch!"
"Your words have woken me up from my dream, Lao Liu. I have to say you've already gotten ahead of me. Alright, as long as you can contact Li Huaide, we'll gamble with you one more time. Who doesn't like making money?"

Yan Bugui didn't intend to invest everything; he just wanted to make money again. In reality, whether it was Xu Damao or Liu Haizhong, whoever could bring him benefits was his friend. That's the truth.

However, this time he wouldn't go all out like last time. Yan Bugui had only taken this risk once in his life. Before the TV was sold, he was trembling with fear every day, afraid that he would be doomed forever.
This time it won't be like last time. No matter what, the money we've earned now is enough for the two of us to live on for the rest of our lives, so why risk everything?
Besides, he hadn't forgotten the idea He Yuzhu had promised. Over the years, he had witnessed He Yuzhu's progress and was convinced that as long as he followed He Yuzhu's ideas, things wouldn't be too bad.

Therefore, Yan Bugui never considered gambling his entire fortune again. If he succeeded this time, he might be able to help his son in the future. If he failed, he would stop participating in these things and retire peacefully.
What he didn't know was that many more people were involved in this transaction. His sons, upon learning that their old man had made a fortune reselling televisions, began to secretly discuss getting involved and making their own money!
"Boss, the old man didn't include us last time, will he agree this time? Besides, is your information accurate?"

"Liberation, this is what Liu Guangtian said, how could it not be allowed? Dad's already sixty and he's still scheming, that's too much. Let's go find the old man. He makes money but doesn't call his son, what kind of father is that?" (End of this chapter)
