Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

"Brother Niu, do you have a different understanding of the phrase 'watertight' than I do? Yu Li, Qin Huairu, and later Zhao Xinmei, each one of them has a loud voice. You don't even need to walk in; you can hear them from twenty meters away."

Every one of us brothers secretly gives you a thumbs up. That fighting spirit really makes us men proud. Do you know what nickname we brothers gave you back in the day?

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang was secretly pleased: "What nickname?"

"Old Man Pao!"

"Haha, this nickname sounds better than my old one. I've had the tea and I feel warm all over. I'm going to see President Bai now."

"Oh, just after lunch, Mr. Bai's older brother came over. He should still be in the office now."

Niu Dazhuang patted him on the shoulder: "I invited you here to discuss some business. Don't be shy, I know this way well!"

Upon reaching the second floor, Bai Hongyan's office door was open.

When Bai Hongyan saw him arrive, she stood up.

"We're all family here. There's hot water in the kettle, so pour it yourselves. I'll keep an eye on things outside."

"It's not like we're plotting anything, it's not that serious. I just felt it wouldn't be convenient for my older brother to go to our house, so we arranged to meet here."

Bai Hongjun sighed and said, "You're right. Most of the time, I'm also powerless to do what I'm told. Dazhuang, please sit down."

Niu Dazhuang first poured a cup of hot water for his brother-in-law, and then poured one for himself.

"Big brother, you must be under a lot of pressure right now!"

"Yes, the comrades are not yet united in their thinking, and it takes a lot of effort to promote every reform measure."

"Does the person above want to open several windows?"

"There are rumors about it, but you'll have to ask the old man for details. Are you interested?"

Do you know anyone in Pengcheng?

"We're not from the same circle, but you're a lucky charm now, you're welcome wherever you go!"

"That's true. What are the current policies for attracting investment in Yanjing?"

"You summed it up well. I want to set an example in the city first, like Shang Yang setting up a wooden pole, to give overseas Chinese and businessmen confidence. Brother-in-law, I'm counting on you for this. As long as it's a company in the city, you can choose whichever one you like."

"Brother, to be honest, I want to contribute to the country, and I've even prepared people who are staying at the Yanjing Hotel. They're Hong Kong businessmen."

"Understood. Give me the name, and I'll make the contact tomorrow."

Ring bell…

The phone suddenly rang.

Bai Hongyan, who was standing at the door, walked over and answered the phone.

Neither Niu Dazhuang nor Bai Hongyan spoke, and they waited quietly for Bai Hongyan to finish the call.

"Da Niu, pass on my father's message: you should prepare to meet that leader the day after tomorrow."

"Which leader?"

What do you think?

"Could it be...?"

"It's the one you're thinking of!"

"Holy crap! I'm actually a little nervous!"

"Dazhuang, don't cause trouble too much. You'll be fine after you see him more often."

"Let's forget about that, brother. Let's continue. I'll cooperate with you in setting this benchmark, but I have an extra request this time."

"you say."

"You know, I have a lot of family members."

"Wanting a house is no problem."

"Let me finish. I bought two houses in the alley where I live now. I counted, and there are only a dozen or so left. I won't take them for free; I'll buy them all at market price. I need your help with this."

"Does it have to be the alley where you live now? Should we consider other places?"

"That works too. The alley doesn't need to be too long, about twenty courtyards will do. Ideally, they should all be two-courtyard houses!"

"Your requirements are quite high. I can't agree to this right away. First, I need to have a meeting when I get back. Second, once the meeting approves it, I need to send someone to find it for you. So, in this world..."

"No rush. We'll continue our discussion once you've settled this matter."

"this……"

"Brother, I won't make things difficult for you, Sister Yan. How about we use this transportation company as a pilot project first?"

"Old Niu, my workplace is doing great, so please don't try anything with me."

Bai Hongjun ignored her and continued to ask...

"Do you want to include the branch factories in the joint venture, or just the head office alone?"

"If we form a joint venture, it won't be the head office anymore. We need to separate the head office from the branch offices first, and then merge the prices... I also want to set up a taxi company under the transportation company."

"Taxi? You mean the kind of taxis on Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes, with the opening of the country and the relaxation of policies, more and more people will come to Yanjing. Look at Yanjing, there are hardly any regular taxis, it's all pedicabs!"

"How much do you own?"

"No matter how much asset is calculated, whatever amount I contribute, I'll take 49%!"

"Can these two matters be pursued simultaneously?"

"Brother, it's not that I don't trust you as a person, it's that I don't trust their work efficiency. Everything here is done, but you haven't even finished my business yet!"

I've donated what I was supposed to donate for free. I donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Yanxi Petrochemical Plant without asking the government for anything, and I didn't arrange for anyone to work there. I guess that's considered pure donation.

I'm not taking advantage of the country for nothing. I'm paying for it myself, at market price. Asking you to help coordinate is not unreasonable, is it? If you can't even handle such a small matter, I really doubt the competence of your leaders." Niu Dazhuang didn't hold back his words after that.

Bai Hongjun remained silent and listened to Niu Dazhuang finish speaking.

"I won't make things difficult for you. If you can't make the decision, then let someone who can make it do it."

Bai Hongjun stood up: "Okay, let's stop here for today. By the way, I'll install a telephone at your place. I can handle such a small matter."

"Forget it, I don't need to make phone calls anyway. If I installed a phone, you guys would bother me all the time! If anything needs to be said, let Sister Yan let me know!"

Bai Hongjun gave an awkward laugh: "Then I'll be going."

The two escorted him downstairs, and after watching his brother-in-law get into the jeep, they went up to the second floor.

"Old Niu, after what you just said, I feel strange and inexplicably disappointed."

You know, I've been working in this company for half my life, always feeling like I belong to the country, contributing to the nation and serving the people, and suddenly there's this joint venture...

"Half of the money we earn in the future will go to you, the capitalist. It's infuriating! Why did you have to target our company?"

"I know it well!"

"Damn, so you only target people you know!"

"Don't just think about that. After the joint venture, I can raise the wages and benefits of frontline workers, and of course, those of you who sit in offices will also see a raise. Besides, the government will still take the lion's share after the joint venture is successful. Have you forgotten who you are?"

"No matter who I am, I'm first and foremost the head of my unit, and only secondly your woman!"

"You've come to a higher level of understanding!"
