After greeting He Yuzhu in the kitchen and the apprentices transferred from Hongguang Machinery Factory, Cao Zhiqiang didn't look any further and left quickly.
After all, this is He Yuzhu's territory. If he stays there for too long, he will feel uncomfortable.
The main reason Cao Zhiqiang came to the kitchen this time was to see how these apprentices were studying, but this needed to be done in private, and it was not appropriate for them to ask during work.
However, when Cao Zhiqiang came out of the kitchen, he found He Yuzhu also walking out.
"Uncle He, aren't you watching from the kitchen?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
"It's okay." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "It actually doesn't take long for the takeout. It will be over soon. Besides, my apprentice Ma Hua is watching, so it's no problem if I don't need to be there."
Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
Although it has opened a takeout outlet, it is actually just a disguised extension of the business hours to give people who can't wait in line outside something to look forward to.
In fact, if it really comes to three o'clock in the afternoon, no one will come to eat. After all, everyone has a meal.
In the final analysis, opening a takeout outlet was a compromise made out of necessity because there were too many people coming to eat, there were too many people queuing up, and the business hours were strictly arranged.
But this is actually not a long-term solution.
Because as time goes by, everyone will stop queuing up after they know what is going on here.
At that time, those who really come back often will still come, but those who are very price-sensitive will probably only come once in a while for a long time.
After all, in essence, Shiweitian is not a cheap restaurant, but a high-priced restaurant similar to the exhibition hall restaurant. Recently, it is only because of Cao Zhiqiang's marketing strategy that the restaurant has been crowded.
After this storm has passed and people's interest has passed, they will eventually return to normal.
But by that time, Shiweitian's reputation has been established, and the really rich people will still come to Shiweitian to eat.
This is called screening customers.
"Qiangzi, let me tell you something." He Yuzhu walked over with a smile.
Cao Zhiqiang nodded, knowing that there must be something wrong with He Yuzhu coming out.
Soon, they came to a private room. The waiter had cleaned it in advance and it was very clean. However, they could still smell the smell of mutton. It was estimated that mutton had been eaten in this private room before.
There's nothing we can do about it. This is a hotel renovated from a courtyard house. The private rooms are the east and west wing rooms. In addition, the patio is covered with a roof, so poor ventilation is standard.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang has long discovered that the old courtyard houses in the capital, regardless of whether they are large courtyard houses or pure courtyard houses, are not very livable. Anyway, they do not meet Cao Zhiqiang's livable environment.
That kind of building is still suitable.
Of course, if conditions permit, Cao Zhiqiang plans to build his own house and several real villas.
Speaking of which, Shazhu's workplace, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen, seems to have been annexed by Shougang at the end of this year.
A few years after the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was annexed, a large hotel was first built at the original location, and later real estate was built at the original factory address, a circle of villas was built, and the East Lake Villa District was built.
Later, it was said in the capital that the East Lake Villa, where dignitaries and dignitaries traveled everywhere, came from this.
The location of my Hongguang Machinery Factory is no worse than that of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and the area is not small.
It's just that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant is in the east of the city, and my Hongguang Machinery Factory is in the north of the city. I have quite a lot of power, and it seems that I have some plans.
Although it seems that there is not much profit in real estate now, the house itself is a thing that preserves its value.
Moreover, the cost of building a house is low now, and you can decide on the land for your own factory.
You have to say that the technical cost of building a building during this period was a bit high, but the technical aspect of converting a group of single-family villas was not a problem and the cost was very low, but the agglomeration effect in the later period was very strong.
Not bad, not bad, I can take some time to do some real estate work.
Even if the real estate market hasn't caught on yet and we can't sell it out, it would be a good idea to use it as an office building first to improve the living environment for employees, especially to improve our own living environment.
After all, the cost of building a house is low now, and there are not so many approval conditions.
Anyway, after the completion, as long as the houses are owned by oneself, in more than ten years, the housing prices of these single-family villas will still skyrocket.
Isn’t this better than those priceless courtyard houses?
Oops, I accidentally discovered another way to make a fortune.
It's great to travel back in time. There are endless opportunities to make money everywhere.
"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, do you hear me?"
"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and quickly recovered, "Uncle, what did you just say?"
"Hey!" He Yuzhu said happily, "Are you really distracted?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, uncle." Cao Zhiqiang pretended to sigh, "I have a lot to do right now. I have to worry about the machinery factory, the publishing house, and the audio-visual company. After that, I still have to review my homework and prepare for the college entrance examination. I'm busy!"
"That's true." He Yuzhu nodded, "You are indeed very busy now, and you usually can't find your people.
By the way, I heard a few days ago that you took the college entrance examination preparatory exam and did very well. Is this true? "
"It's not bad." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I just made do, and I ranked 26th in the city."
"Hey, you are so good." He Yuzhu said in surprise, "Twenty-sixth in the city? Can someone like this be admitted to university?"
"That's not it yet." Cao Zhiqiang said modestly, "It's just a preliminary exam, not the real college entrance examination, it doesn't count."
"Fool me, do you think I don't know anything?" He Yuzhu smiled, "Who doesn't know that the preparatory exam is similar to the college entrance examination. If you can get into the top 100 in the preparatory exam, it is certain to go to college."
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu sighed: "Oh, I really didn't expect that there will be another college student in our courtyard. He is awesome, awesome."
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Uncle, you asked me to come over. Let's talk about the business."
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." He Yuzhu nodded, "Well, Qiangzi, I didn't want to tell you about this at first, but my wife, your Aunt Qin, kept urging me, so I, I'll be patient I’ll tell you about it face to face.”
"Oh." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "What is it about? Is it about salary? Or is it about shares?"
"No." He Yuzhu shook his head, "Yes, it's about Sophora japonica."
"Sophora japonica?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What's wrong with Sophora japonica? Is something wrong?"
"Well, that's not the case." He Yuzhu rubbed his hands and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Uncle, just tell me what you have to say. I'm very busy and I'll have something to do later."
"Okay, okay, I'll keep the story short." He Yuzhu said quickly.
Then, He Yuzhu took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Hey, let me tell you straight, Qiangzi, what do you think of our Sophora japonica?"
"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang, who was thinking about how to find opportunities to build villas and communities in the future, and even use this as a starting point to develop real estate, was stunned, "What about it?"
"It's our Sophora japonica." He Yuzhu asked, "Do you think she is beautiful?"
"This..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "Beautiful, really beautiful."
"That's right." He Yuzhu said immediately, "Our Sophora japonica doesn't dare to say anything else. If we say she's pretty, she'll fill the whole courtyard. No, there's no one in the alley who can be better than her."
Cao Zhiqiang also came to his senses at this time: "So Uncle He, you don't want to lead a red line between me and Sophora japonica, do you?"
"Smart!" He Yuzhu chuckled, "That's right, you are unmarried, Huaihua is unmarried, and you are both about the same age, I think you are a good match.
Although Huaihua is a few years older than you, as the saying goes, if a female is a junior, she will have a gold nugget.
It’s better for women to be older, they will love others.
Look at our Sophora japonica, she is beautiful, capable, and very good at serving others.
If you marry Sophora japonica, you are guaranteed to enjoy happiness.
Also, I heard someone say that Sophora japonica can give birth to fat boys at first glance. If you marry him, you can have three or five sons at will. It won’t be a problem. "
"Uncle, we have family planning now." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Urban household registration only allows one child."
"Yes, family planning." He Yuzhu nodded, "But isn't it a big deal like a fine? Isn't it still a big deal to you?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but nodded.
Indeed, in the final analysis, family planning restricts the poor.
There are so many ways for people with money and power to circumvent family planning.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about normal fines. According to the current policy in Peking, if you have to have a second child and both parties have urban household registration, it will only cost 800 yuan. A third child is more expensive and costs two. Fifteen hundred yuan, but this is nothing to Cao Zhiqiang.
Seeing Cao Zhiqiang nodding, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, thinking that he agreed.
"Hey, so you agree to have sex with our Sophora japonica?"
"No, no, no." Cao Zhiqiang was startled and quickly shook his head in rejection, "Absolutely not, I don't have that idea. Uncle He, please don't misunderstand."
"Why?" He Yuzhu asked, "Although you have a problem with Banggan, it has nothing to do with Sophora japonica. Sophora japonica is a very good child, beautiful, capable, easy to give birth to, and she also knows how to love others.
By the way, I heard that you had thoughts about him before. How great it is now. We will introduce Sophora japonica to you, and you can have a relationship with her openly. "
"No, uncle." Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "I, I, um... let me tell the truth. Uncle, actually I have a partner."
"Ah, you have a partner?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "When did it happen, why didn't I know?"
Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "You are so busy all day long, why do you care about such things? Besides, I have a partner not long ago. She also took the college entrance examination this year and is preparing to go to university. For various reasons, it has not been announced to the public."
"Really or not?" He Yuzhu frowned.
"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Am I still lying to you? If you don't believe me, ask my sister. She knows that I have a partner. She is very familiar with my partner."
"very familiar?"
"Yes, very familiar."
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Actually, my subject's birthplace is the place where my eldest sister used to work, and they are both neighbors. My subject's mother used to be colleagues with my eldest sister.
And last time, didn’t I go to my sister’s place with the intention of getting my sister back?
That's when I met my partner, and for various reasons, we got better.
Right now, my partner is taking an exam in my hometown and he will probably be able to come to Beijing tomorrow.
By the way, I'll let you guys meet me then, and then you'll know if I lied to you. "
"That's it." He Yuzhu sighed slightly disappointedly, "That's it."
Say, do you really despise Sophora japonica? "
"It's not that I don't like him," Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's just me and Huaihua. It's not suitable. It's better not to disturb others."
"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded, "In the past, I definitely couldn't agree. After all, you were nothing at that time.
Later, when you made progress, I didn’t say anything. I didn’t agree or disagree.
But who would have thought that your changes would be so big, we dare not even think about it.
Now you are the president and director, you have great power, you are also a famous poet, and you are not short of money.
Well now, you have even passed the college entrance examination preliminaries, and you are about to go to college and become a college student.
To be honest, you are running a bit fast now, and our Sophora japonica is no longer worthy of you. "
Cao Zhiqiang said quickly: "Uncle, don't say that. It's not that Huaihua is not worthy, it's that we are really inappropriate. In fact, I have always regarded Huaihua as my sister, and I really have no other ideas.
Besides, I'm usually so busy and don't have time to spend time with my son and daughter. If Huaihua were to be with me, it would definitely be very uncomfortable. "
"Hmph." He Yuzhu curled his lips, "That sounds nice, but why did you find a female student in Southwest China to date?"
Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "That was an accident."
"Hey, unexpected." He Yuzhu was happy, then lowered his voice and blinked, "Tell me the truth, did you see someone beautiful and couldn't hold it back for a while, which ruined their health and had to take responsibility afterwards?"
Cao Zhiqiang pouted: "Uncle, no, don't talk nonsense."
"That's it!" He Yuzhu smiled slightly, "They are all men, I understand, especially someone like you, hum."
"Uncle." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "Can we stop joking? This matter is big or small, so don't dare to talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He Yuzhu chuckled.
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu sighed again: "Actually, I have not been optimistic about the matter between you and Huaihua for a long time.
I was not optimistic about it before and I am not optimistic about it now. This has nothing to do with whether you have money or not, whether you are promising or not.
That's right, I just feel that you and Sophora japonica are not the same people and can't go together.
So before, I turned a blind eye to what happened between you and Huaihua and let you go.
But now, isn’t my daughter-in-law so considerate? She is obsessed with bringing you and Sophora japonica together.
Actually, I understand. My wife saw that you were promising, so she wanted Sophora japonica to be with you, so that you could have a good time and drink spicy food.
But when it comes to things like men and women, a slap in the face won't make a difference, they have to look at each other, right? "
"Yes, yes, uncle, you are absolutely right." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "Huaihua and I only have a brother-sister relationship, and there is absolutely no relationship between a man and a woman."
"Okay, I understand." He Yuzhu nodded, "Anyway, I asked the question and you answered it for me. I can go back and deal with my wife.
Of course, don't worry, even if things between you and Sophora japonica fail, it won't delay our friendship.
We still have our own affairs. Although you can't be my son-in-law, we can still be partners, don't you think? "
"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang slapped his thigh, "One code is the same, it's better for us to continue to be partners. If we really become relatives, it will be difficult.
To put it bluntly, if I really become your son-in-law, I'm afraid I won't dare to cooperate with you, and we will have no choice but to part ways. "
"Why?" He Yuzhu asked.
Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Uncle He, you are a smart man, but you still can't figure this out? These days, it is most taboo for relatives to work together in business.
If relatives form a partnership, due to the relative's reputation, if there is a problem, they will not be able to talk about it or criticize it. In terms of management, it will definitely be a mess.
It is better for us to be in this situation. Everything should be explained clearly, one code is one code, what should be done, how much should be paid, how good it is. "
"That's right!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh, "You're so right! Just like me and my wife, we can't reason with each other. All the money we make must be turned over. I can't even hide it in a small treasury. Who can reason with me? "
"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Do you remember what I told you before? If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.
Now that Aunt Qin is still here, you still have the ability and ability, and her children are still filial to you. But what if one day Aunt Qin walks in on you, or if one day you get old and can’t move anymore, and you have no ability or ability? Now, can you guarantee that those children can support you in your old age? "
He Yuzhu suddenly darkened his face, thought for a moment and nodded: "I promise, they can do it!"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, even if you believe them, there is no harm in hiding something, right? If they are really filial, wouldn't it be better to give them the money you hid and give them a surprise? "
"It sounds nice when you say that." He Yuzhu smiled.
Cao Zhiqiang looked around and said again: "Uncle He, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you are good today, it may not be good tomorrow. Anyway, I think you should be more careful and hide more of your private money. What you want is a future person. Just in case.
You have lived for most of your life, and you should understand some things.
Nothing is reliable except money.
People will change, but money will not.
As long as you have money in your hand, the money is yours.
When you get old in the future, if no one cares about you anymore, at least you will still have money and can afford someone to take care of you.
But if you get old and have no money, then those children will have their own families.
Haha, when the time comes, think about it for yourself, will they take care of you first for the sake of you as a stepfather, regardless of their own family affairs? "
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face darkened again, but this time, he miraculously did not refute Cao Zhiqiang's words.
Seeing him like this, Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes: "Uncle, my words may not sound good, but my words of advice are hard on the ears.
Now you have also seen that by cooperating with me, I have not treated you a penny wrong, but on the contrary, I have made you earn much more than before.
I may not say those beautiful words, but I will not squeeze you or suck your blood.
Instead, I will unleash your potential and turn your abilities into money.
When you have money, you will have the confidence to be the head of the family.
As the saying goes.
A big man cannot be without power for a day, and a young man cannot be without money for a day.
So, Uncle He, instead of worrying about my personal problems here, you should worry more about your own affairs.
Apart from anything else, at least you must hide your private money, and you must not let Aunt Qin and the others know about it! "
