Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu didn't want to look here. If he came across something good, Huo Shao and his gang would covet it, and so would the ragpicker Hou!
"We'll talk about it later. I'll definitely invite you then. The guests have gone to great lengths to come to Panjiayuan; they can't go back empty-handed, can they? Besides, Mr. Ragpicker, I still owe you a favor!"

If you come up with something good, you'll have to study it. I don't have that much time to waste. I hope I won't have to come here again after this!

You're here to invest, not to sightsee. If this drags on any longer, the higher-ups will start to get worried, and Liu Hua will be the first one...

"Alright, you're looking for the Nine Gates Admiral again, aren't you? You don't trust me?"

"No, that's not it. The most urgent task right now isn't to study the box and the painting, but to take good care of these gentlemen!"

"Alright, I'll listen to you!"

At this moment, Li Huaide finally received the news that the group had arrived at Panjiayuan again. It was a pity that He Yuzhu was with them; otherwise, he could have increased the success rate by going himself.
This scheme must not be discovered by He Yuzhu. If we offend the guests from Hong Kong, even Old Master Song might not be able to save them.

In truth, Li Huaide didn't want to take such a big risk, but unfortunately, time waits for no one. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality...

Thinking back to the days when I spent tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in one night on Hong Kong Island, and then looking at how little money I have in my pocket now, it's hard to put into words;

I used to be a prominent figure in Beijing. I wasn't a big shot, but everyone knew Li Huaide from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. And now?
The former chef is now the richest man in the capital, someone who has served him faithfully for many years.
Some colleagues are doing very well in both politics and business, while he himself is practically destitute.
He had no say in the family's finances, so he could only try to make some quick money, find You Fengxia, get his money back, and then try to make a comeback. Counterfeits couldn't fetch a good price in Beijing, so he had to set his sights on Hong Kong Island and the larger market.

However, the reality is that they don't even have the capital to go to Hong Kong Island, let alone turn the things Chen Jianjun made into money!
"Brother, the fat sheep has arrived. Whether you can live in a high-rise building and eat and drink well depends on your skills!"

"Brother, I used to run small businesses, but these prices are so high, it makes my skin crawl just thinking about it, I..."

"Useless trash. I'll give you a hundred for each one. Think about it, how many days would it take you to earn that? There will be bigger deals in the future. If you can't even take the first step, how far can you go? You only get one chance, understand?"

Li Huaide wanted nothing more than to slap him. His good-for-nothing cousin hadn't made any progress in all these days, and with the big fish on the way, he was already showing signs of cowardice...

"I understand, I understand, brother, don't worry, I get it!" Li Huaide's cousin kept wiping away his sweat. Li Huaide regretted that he should have told him that the thing was a fake.
Look at this, how could it possibly escape He Yuzhu's eyes? No, I have to think of a way to get He Yuzhu away!

As long as He Yuzhu isn't there, he can do it himself. Deceiving others is as easy as playing a game.
"Ok?"

Just then, Li Huaide saw a person slowly walking over. Wasn't this the man named Yan Bugui?
That's right, the person strolling around Panjiayuan Market is Yan Bugui, whom Li Huaide met when he was in the television business!
“Cousin, here’s the deal. You don’t need to come after this is over. Leave this to me. As long as you hold He Yuzhu back, you’ll get your share of the profits. Otherwise…”

"Alright, bro, don't worry, it's nothing, haha!"

As expected of Li Huaide, he came up with a perfect plan as soon as he saw Yan Bugui. If done well, it could really hold He Yuzhu back.

Li Huaide was thinking about Chen Jianjun's situation. After graduating from junior high school, he worked hard to study and was admitted to university. You have to know that we just came through a special period. The educated youth went to the countryside and put down their textbooks for a long time. The admission ratio was 10 to 1.

Chen Jianjun, as a junior high school student, was able to get into university despite competing with so many other graduates from the late 1960s and 1966s, which shows that he is intelligent and talented, surpassing many others in this respect.
As far as he knew, many people failed to get into university as they wished. The first college entrance examination was quite difficult and required intelligence and perseverance. This showed that Chen Jianjun's learning ability was not weak. Without perseverance and self-discipline, he would not have been able to calm down and study seriously, and it would have been impossible for him to get into university!

How many people fail because of a lack of self-control? People with self-control and perseverance are not necessarily successful, but Li Huaide knows that successful people definitely have these two good qualities!
Take He Yuzhu for example, he is the most self-disciplined person he has ever met. He is not greedy and has his own plan for every step.
During this special period, He Yuzhu only needs to show a little bit of special behavior, and he will take the job even if it means offending the people behind him!

And then what happened? This kid had been lukewarm all along, but as the special period was about to end, he suddenly rose to prominence as if he had taken a magic pill.
In contrast, Chen Jianjun,
Su Meng from their compound did so many things, even though the methods weren't exactly honorable, because she kept trying and working hard to pursue the person she liked.

This includes constantly improving one's own status, which is commendable. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, which means they can abandon the bottom line of morality for the sake of profit.
This is rare, at least Li Huaide values ​​it highly. This person also has a stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat. Once he sets his mind on something, he will do it even if it means getting hurt. For example, he admires the way he defeated Han Chunming!
Li Huaide believes that Chen Jianjun has all the necessary conditions for success, but what he lacks is a platform, and Li Huaide is the right person to find him!
However, his shortcomings are also obvious. Compared to him, Chen Jianjun is indeed much less magnanimous. If this is not handled well, he may fail when faced with a major event!

Because of Su Meng's "favoritism" towards Han Chunming, Chen Jianjun developed a deep jealousy towards his childhood friend Han Chunming and even wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate. From this point of view, Chen Jianjun has already fallen into a disadvantageous position. You haven't even investigated who He Yuzhu is, yet you're trying to trip up Han Chunming. Aren't you overthinking it?
Besides, what kind of woman can't you get with money? The information from the investigation shows that this so-called Miss Su Meng has such a bad temper. Is Chen Jianjun just trying to show that he is better than Han Chunming?
If that's the case, then someone like Chen Jianjun is easily driven by jealousy, and if not handled properly, it could lead to endless troubles!

Right now, we have no capable people at our disposal, and even if we did, they would be like my cousin, who is hopeless and cannot be improved. How can things continue like this?
It seems I'll have to focus more on Chen Jianjun in the future; otherwise, there won't be anyone to take care of the areas I can't attend to.
Of course, as long as Chen Jianjun is sensible and can put aside his jealousy of Han Chunming, focusing wholeheartedly on making money, their cooperation has a very good prospect, even better than Hong Kong! (End of Chapter)
