Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Your father is not a quiet one." Lou Xiao'e shrugged. "But no matter what, I think that after being in Hong Kong for so long, my business skills should be much better than his."

Cao Leyao nodded subconsciously.

This is not to look down on Cao Wei's wisdom, it's just that their business atmosphere is here, with all kinds of means and routines. If you are a person who has never left the country, and you try to compare business methods with capitalist countries, that would be a laughing stock.

"As you know, he brought out that plan and directly included me, my secretary, and Director Jing." Lou Xiao'e sighed, "You know, in Hong Kong, many decisions are not made by me alone. But what he brought out made everyone think there was no problem."

After a company is established, most of the time, it is not dominated by one person, especially in Hong Kong. If you eat alone, you will not go far. Most of the time, you are in me and I am in you. Lou Xiao'e's money entered the mainland through ZhongX. This involves the issue of investment ratio. Some projects are taken out, and some people are interested in them, so they will get involved. Some projects are not interested.

Lou Xiao'e had made up her mind. Even if no one was interested, she would invest all of it herself.

As it turned out, the project was quite popular, and she spent a lot of effort before she got the lion's share.

"My dad is so powerful?" For the first time, Cao Leyao intuitively felt the strength of Cao Wei.

"Your mother is not bad either." Lou Xiao'e shook her head. "She likes to read history. Do you know what she said when I told her about the situation in Hong Kong?"

"What?"

"She said, aren't they just the noble families in ancient times? They just changed their names, and the way of exploitation has changed. They used to control the land. Now, they control other things, which are all means of production. There is no difference." Lou Xiao'e said this, looking at Qin Jingru who was bargaining happily with the aunt, and smiled: "Well, she can see it clearly. Aren't the noble families in ancient times like this? You are in me, and I am in you. This world is just a cycle. Perhaps, some people want to break this cycle, but the wheel of history is still moving in the direction we are familiar with..."

"Forget it, why bother telling you all this? Anyway, you are the newborn dawn. If you want to realize your ambitions, it's best to find an anchor point first."

"So Sister E, what is your anchor point?"

"Didn't I say that? Your father." Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Your father's anchor should be the three of us, and you too. I'm not urging you to get married, but sometimes, husband and wife are indeed a pretty good anchor. If you believe in love and yearn for love."

Cao Leyao didn't say anything. She was a little confused. The huge amount of information made her head dizzy. At the beginning, she just wanted to open a restaurant and surpass Cao Wei. But as time went by, it became more and more complicated, even to the point where she felt her scalp tingling.

"Little girl, I have walked more roads than you have eaten salt. This watch is worth less than seven yuan, so you can't take it away!" The aunt's eyes were sharp, and she exerted mental pressure on Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru stretched out her fingers, used three fingers to stop the wire, and said the opposite: "Three dollars and a half, any more, and I'll leave!"

"Then go away! I don't want to do this business anymore!" The auntie was furious. The cost of this watch was actually not expensive. It only cost a little over one dollar to buy it from Hong Kong, but she had changed hands several times and could only make three dollars and fifty cents. She couldn't make much money. The most important thing was that there were so many people around here. If she sold it at this price, would she still be able to survive?

Qin Jingru hesitated for a while, looked around, and whispered, "I'll give you four dollars and sell it to me for one dollar. Let's do the transaction quietly."

The aunt rolled her eyes and whispered, "Then you can't miss it."

"make a deal."

The two of them lowered their voices, which made the audience feel as if their hearts were being scratched by a cat.

The two of them made the deal with a smile, and it was unclear how much they spent on it.

It's so uncomfortable.

"Hey, pretty girl, how much did you pay for it?"

"I won't tell you!" Qin Jingru ran away with the watch.

Seeing this, the others looked at the aunt.

"What are you looking at? She spent fifteen dollars on it."

"Auntie Wang, you are talking nonsense. You just said it was seven dollars, how come it's fifteen dollars now? Do you think we are fools?"

"Will you buy it? If not, don't say anything!"

"Hey, what you said is really interesting."

The crowd over there was bustling around watching the excitement.

Qin Jingru ran back to Lou Xiaoe and Cao Leyao and showed off her watch: "I bought it for four dollars, it's not bad."

"Mom, no one wants this thing in Hong Kong."

"How could I not know?" Qin Jingru glared at Cao Leyao: "But it looks good."

From a modern perspective, this thing, with its plastic strap and cheap dial, looks downright cheap. But it is indeed fresh in this era.

"Don't underestimate this thing." Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Many people have made fortunes with this thing."

After the personal economy was opened up, the people who made the most money were undoubtedly those who dared to do business across regions, transporting goods from one place to another place to sell. They were doing a risky business, so they naturally made more money. This watch was hard to buy in the old city for less than 20 yuan. Later, as the volume increased, the price gradually became cheaper.

"Are you still shopping?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Come on, why not? The TV here is really big."

"Don't we have one at home?" Lou Xiao'e was frowning. Although the villa here was not often lived in, it had everything.

"Hehe, let me sigh for a moment, let's go, keep walking, and listen to the Queen, it's the right thing to do!"

Qin Jingru is always like this, always laughing and having no worries. Even if she does, she will go to Cao Wei and cry when she is upset. Then Cao will start to coax her. When coaxing doesn't work, he will send Qin Huairu out to suppress her.

The queen had spoken, so the two of them had no choice but to accompany her.

It must be said that the night market in the small town is quite interesting. Not only are there various smuggled goods, but there is also some delicacies from Hong Kong, such as beef offal, fish balls and other snacks.

Qin Jingru bought one whenever she saw one. Cao Wei seldom made this kind of snack. Since it was something new, she would always try some.

It's just a little unsatisfactory.
