Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Age may not seem like a big problem, but it really hit Jin Qihao's weak spot.

Lin Chih-chieh was in the news a couple of days ago.

Jin Qihao saw Lin Zhijie on the news.

Although Lin Chih-chieh is a few years older than Chin Chi-hao, they look about the same age.

Appearance is secondary; the body is the most important thing.

On TV, Lin Chih-chieh was dressed in a military uniform, looking very neat and tidy, and showed no signs of aging.

Jin Qihao, on the other hand, is no longer able to walk; he can barely take a few steps without using a cane.

This was a major reason that made Jin Qihao waver.

Seeing that Jin Qihao had been tricked, Li Huaide left the Jin family satisfied.

As soon as Li Huaide left, Yi Zhonghai came to Jin Qihao's side.

"Have you agreed to cooperate with Li Huaide?"

Jin Qihao thought Yi Zhonghai disagreed, so he tried to persuade him: "Brother Yi, I know you have a prejudice against Li Huaide."

However, life and work are not simply black and white.

Li Huaide certainly has character flaws, but as long as he's useful to us, we should be magnanimous towards him.

Yi Zhonghai understood this principle; in fact, he understood it even more deeply than Jin Qihao.

He was able to support the Jia family in their old age, so he indulged them.

He can't be bothered with other people who can't support him in his old age.

Li Huaide is of no use to his retirement, so why should Yi Zhonghai give Li Huaide a friendly look?

"I know. I just wanted to remind you to be wary of him."

Did he explain how to cooperate to you?

Jin Qihao did not tell Yi Zhonghai the specific plan, but he did give Yi Zhonghai a general overview of the situation.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about anything else; all he cared about was whether the plan would work.

What do you think of Li Huaide's plan?

"There's a 90% success rate," Jin Qihao gave his assessment.

Now Yi Zhonghai understood the situation.

Even Jin Qihao said that this was feasible, so Yi Zhonghai had nothing to worry about.

Back at the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai convened a board meeting for the elderly care community.

"Bang Geng, tell everyone what's going on."

Bang Geng then explained Li Huaide's plan.

Upon hearing this, everyone present's eyes lit up, especially Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu, whose eyes turned into searchlights.

Liu Haizhong, on the contrary, became the most clear-headed person: "Old Yi, we need to be more careful about this matter."

Don't forget, we were tricked by Li Huaide before.

Yi Zhonghai said, "I know. I asked Qi Hao, and he said there's a 90% success rate."

This success rate is not low.

Liu Haizhong's personality is one of fawning over superiors and being arrogant towards inferiors; he is particularly devoted to those of higher status than himself.

Jin Qihao is a big boss, and in his mind, he is an exceptionally capable person.

Even a big boss like Jin Qihao approves, so Liu Haizhong gave up his objection.

Actually, he didn't really want to oppose it.

When Liu Haizhong heard that he could make a lot of money, he became somewhat tempted.

However, once bitten, twice shy. Liu Haizhong was worried about being tricked by Li Huaide again.

"Since Jin Qihao has said so, then it must be possible to make money."

"Just tell me what to do."

Yi Zhonghai looked around and said, "I've discussed it with Bang Geng, and we believe we must invest as well."

Qin Huairu quickly said, "Of course we should invest in such a great opportunity."

I agree.

"I agree." When it comes to making money, how could Yan Bugui be left out?

With the three old men agreeing, and Qin Huairu also agreeing, the matter was settled.

Seeing everyone's support, Yi Zhonghai became even more confident: "Next, it's a question of how much money we can come up with."

Qin Huairu said, "We can take out all the revenue from the fried chicken shop and the restaurant."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Those belong to Jin Qihao, not us."

Qin Huairu wanted to say, what's the difference? Once something is in her hands, it's hers, and no one can make her take it back.

However, considering that Jin Qihao wasn't a member of the courtyard, she didn't dare voice her thoughts.

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Bang Geng said something to me that I think makes a lot of sense."

We must have our own businesses. We can't rely on Jin Qihao to make a living.

Yan Bugui stood up to support Yi Zhonghai: "Well said. Relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, relying on people will lead to their departure. Money is our Achilles' heel."

We can't let others hold our Achilles' heel.

Qin Huairu then asked, "If we can't use the restaurant's money, where are we going to get the money for investment?"

This question stumped Yi Zhonghai and his two companions.

Their current money comes from Jin Qihao, which is enough to ensure their livelihood, leaving them with no extra money for investment.

Unable to come up with a way to make money, Yi Zhonghai asked Bang Geng, "Do you have any ideas?"

Banggeng immediately said, "Borrow money from someone."

"No way," Yan Bugui objected. "You can't lend money and charge interest."

"What can we earn then?"

Yan Bugui was at home lending money at exorbitant interest rates to his son; he knew all too well the tricks of lending money.

Bang Geng said, "What can we do if we don't lend money? Who can come up with that much money?"

This deal is worth tens of millions.

Yan Bugui was torn. On the one hand, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, but on the other hand, he didn't want to pay interest to others.

Yi Zhonghai was also hesitant and reluctant to take the risk. But he also knew that he had no other choice but to borrow money.

The money they had in total amounted to only thirty or forty thousand yuan.

This amount of money is enough for daily living expenses, but it's not suitable for investment.

Who can lend us that much money?

Banggeng paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Use the courtyard house as collateral."

"No." This time, it was Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu who voiced their opposition.

Yi Zhonghai worked hard all his life to establish this nursing home.

This is his guarantee for his retirement; he can't bear to give it away.

The courtyard house was registered under Yi Zhonghai's name.

What's the difference between putting it under Yi Zhonghai's name and putting it under Qin Huairu's name?
Qin Huairu had long considered the courtyard house her own home; how could she bear to mortgage her own belongings?

Bang Geng knew this was the situation, and looked helpless: "I don't know what else to do besides this method."

"Why don't we call Uncle Yan and Uncle Liu over, and then we can all think of a solution together?"

Yan Jiecheng and a few others were summoned to attend the expanded meeting of the elderly care group.

Several people were very excited when they heard about the opportunity to make money.

When it comes to the old ways of making money, their ideas are the same as Bang Geng's methods.

"Uncle, actually, mortgaging is a very normal thing."

Xu Damao used to borrow money from others by mortgaging his assets.

"As long as our business succeeds, we'll have money. Then we can pay back the money, right?"

"That's right. These days, which rich person doesn't borrow money?"

Uncle Jin is standing behind us, and this time we're doing business with him again.

We're sure to make money.

Once we've made some money, we can buy Old Huang's restaurant across the street.

We'll open a small restaurant sometime.

It will be more convenient for everyone to eat out from now on.

Several young people followed You Fengxia and learned a lot about how rich people made money from her.

They presented these approaches and persuaded Yi Zhonghai and the others.

Unable to control their greed, Yi Zhonghai and the others agreed.

"So who do you think we should borrow money from?"

This led to another disagreement, with some of the younger people advocating for borrowing money from private individuals.

Although the interest rate is high, you can borrow more money this way.

If you use a bank as collateral, you'll be able to borrow much less money.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai chose to borrow money from private individuals because they wanted to mortgage the fried chicken shop as well. (End of Chapter)
