The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Finally came production and sales. He Yuzhu took a sip of tea and then poured a cup for Gu Zhiqi.

Then ask:

"Alright, can you tell me what it is now?"

Gu Zhi Qiu took a sip of tea and then said:

"You're so carefree, but it's definitely a good thing. You don't know, the kettles, electric blankets, toothbrushes, cotton shoes, cotton clothes, induction cookers, and rice cookers you made before, they heat up quickly and they've been selling like hotcakes at Big Brother's place."

After our people sold things there, we bought a lot of things back from there.

Now even three train trips a day can't keep up with the demand.

How did you know that Big Brother wanted these things?!

He Yuzhu said to Gu Zhiqi:

"In order to maintain its status as the world's leading power, the Big Brother will continue to develop its military industry."

Furthermore, the civilian industries will not be developed. Although the Big Brother is very powerful now, its light industry is not as good as our country's.

Moreover, only soldiers enjoy good conditions there; ordinary people, even if they have money, cannot enjoy them.

That's why they sell so well. Besides, those products are very popular with ordinary people, and the government of the Big Brother is even more pleased to see them succeed.

As for the goods they bought, the older brother believed they made a profit, considering we were also shipping a lot of goods over there!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, you're truly amazing. Also, you have no idea how much the merchants we sent over have driven up the prices of those goods.

This is the first time I've realized how many tricks these businessmen have up their sleeves.

I thought merchants only made money by profiting from price differences.

That series of methods was truly breathtaking!

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"That's right. If merchants only make money from the price difference, then everyone would be paying off the merchants!"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"That's right. Not everyone can be a businessman. Besides, there's a lot of meat over there."

We bought a lot of meat.

I'll have someone send some over later!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"It's similar in other countries, but often I don't know how they were transported back; they just inexplicably appear in our country."

Fortunately, our country has you, so we don't have to pay for many things anymore. We can buy raw materials and various kinds of food.

Our country is currently lacking this, although things have improved in the last two years.

But our country is truly terrified of hunger!

He Yuzhu remained silent. This was a decision made by the state, and regardless of the circumstances, he was unaware of the true state of affairs in the country.

Since I have money now, I can buy whatever I want.

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"The housekeeper even praised me, saying that my method was very good. In fact, the government is already thinking of taking action to crack down on these capitalists."

They planned to confiscate their property and then use the money they left behind to develop our country.

But the energy I unleashed when I did this was far greater than anything from ransacking a house!

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Talent is the real wealth; those capitalists certainly have money stained with blood."

But many people's money is accumulated over generations.

They definitely wouldn't want to give it away.

So don't covet other people's private property. These people are making more money for the country than they do from confiscating property.

And it's a continuous stream!

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"That's right, that's exactly how it is. Originally, our country owed Big Brother money that would require the entire nation to tighten their belts for twenty years to pay it off."

But to my surprise, the debt was paid off in less than a year.

Moreover, it didn't use a single penny of our country's money; it was all made from money earned by our big brother.

However, things are a bit tricky in Hong Kong!

He Yuzhu asked curiously:

"What's so tricky about it?"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"The people over there say they want to form an armed force!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Then let's set it up. After all, Hong Kong is not part of our country yet; it's a concession, and it will be a long time before we can return."

You're probably aware of the chaos over there. Without armed forces, the people there have no safety to speak of.

After all, there are too many gangs in the area, and everyone is taking a bite out of the profits, which are then divided up by others.

Once our country takes it back, we can just crack down on it for a while.

If all else fails, just sow discord among the colonizing powers internationally, urging them to crack down hard.

In any case, they treat that place as a front line for attacking our country.

Now that they can't fight us anymore, they naturally don't care anymore, even though we are a great power in the Age of Exploration.

Even though we've declined, we still have to save face!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi nodded:

"That's right, I'll go and react in a bit. By the way, our country is developing so fast now."

Are there any drawbacks?

880

He Yuzhu said:

"What drawbacks could there be? As long as the people are doing well, our country will be fine."

After all, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Ordinary people don't ask for much; they just want to be fed and clothed.

That's all? Can't you even meet such a simple request?

Gu Zhi Qiu said with a wry smile:

"You make it sound so easy. Our country is so big, we still have a long way to go before we can have enough to eat and wear!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Then it depends on oil and the level of mechanization."

It's only been a year, and there must have been a significant increase in the number of students admitted to vocational schools and universities this year, right?

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Your method is better: set fixed score requirements for vocational schools and universities."

The number of people admitted is more than seven times that of the last time.

Many universities and vocational schools have expanded several times before they could fully accommodate these students.

He Yuzhu said:

"People in the city don't want to suffer in the countryside, while students in the countryside want to change their fate through education."

That's why things are like this, and it will be even worse next year, after all, there are only ten years left.

If these students were given more time, they could learn even better.

However, such a period of time will take several more years; it's impossible for it to happen in the next three to five years.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi said:

"Zhu Zi, now that we have mobile phone signal coverage all over the country, can we expand our mobile phone business overseas?"

After all, this would make it much easier for us to communicate with people from other countries.

Having gotten used to mobile phones in the country, it's really inconvenient abroad without one!

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"I'm only responsible for the technology. As long as the country deems these things appropriate, then they are appropriate."

Besides, I only have profit-sharing rights. If we went abroad, my annual profit-sharing would be astronomical!
