Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Many people from the Siheyuan also went to Dongjun Restaurant to watch the fun and eat.

It was at this moment that they realized that the real boss behind Dongjun Restaurant was their neighbor in the same courtyard: Wang Dong...

At the same time, I also wanted to figure out why Tang Dashan, Yu Li, Ermao, He Yuzhu... in the yard resigned from the steel mill one after another within just one month, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

It turned out that they all entered the Dongjun Restaurant which Wang Dong had just opened.

In less than an hour, the news that Wang Dong had opened a big restaurant in Sijiu City spread throughout the Siheyuan like a gust of wind.

Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family also heard about it.

But after hearing about this, Yi Zhonghai's reaction was very calm, and his facial expression did not change at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

He had suffered too many losses at the hands of Wang Dong, and now he had even lost his job. Although he hated Wang Dong to the core, the continuous failures had made him unable to muster any desire to resist.

He had once visited the Dongjun Hotel to see its scale.

The two five-story buildings alone are worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

A person with such strong capital is simply not someone that an old man like me who has no means of retirement can deal with.

In addition, he has a deputy-division-level wife standing behind him, so it is even more impossible for him to be his opponent.

As the old saying goes, only by giving up hatred and truly calming down and understanding your opponent can you know how powerful your opponent is.

Yi Zhonghai has been doing this kind of thing during this period.

Thinking carefully back to the methods he had used to deal with Wang Dong before, in the face of absolute strength, those intrigues that were not worthy of being mentioned were like an egg hitting a stone. Apart from bringing humiliation upon himself, they would not pose any threat to Wang Dong.

After thinking more, although Yi Zhonghai still hated Wang Dong to the core, he had completely given up the idea of ​​continuing to deal with and attack Wang Dong.

Because the two sides are not on the same level at all.

With this thought in mind, Yi Zhonghai was very shocked when he learned that the two five-story buildings of Dongjun Hotel belonged to Wang Dong and that the newly opened Dongjun Hotel also belonged to Wang Dong.

And once again realized how powerful Wang Dong is.

As for the restaurants that have already opened, Yi Zhonghai is very optimistic about them without looking at them with prejudice.

As a former eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, I have more or less some understanding of the senior fitters in the factory.

The expanded steel rolling mill has more than 10,000 employees. Although more than half of them are regular workers and apprentices at the lowest level, more than 30% of the employees are workers and cadres at level five or above.

Their salaries were high, but they couldn't spend the money during the just-passed coupon era, so almost every household had at least 1,000 yuan in savings.

And this is just the situation for a steel rolling mill.

There are countless factories in the city of Sijiu that are similar in size to steel mills, or even larger than steel mills.

Even if there are not hundreds of thousands of workers who have deposits of more than 1,000 yuan, there are definitely more than 100,000.

People eat for food.

As long as the service at Dongjun Restaurant is better than that at state-owned restaurants and the food is decent, many Chinese people who value face will definitely choose to eat at Dongjun Restaurant.

There are more than 100,000 workers and their families who hold huge amounts of money. Even if one person only spends one dollar a month at Dongjun Hotel, that would still be a sales volume of more than 100,000, and they can easily earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Therefore, in Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Wang Dong's opening of a big hotel in the old city is definitely a good opportunity to reap wealth.

If nothing unexpected happens, the scale of Dongjun Hotel will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and Wang Dong will make a lot of money from Dongjun Hotel.

Compared with Yi Zhonghai's optimism, Bang Geng's face flashed a mocking expression. Although Wang Dong was better than him in many aspects, under the favor of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng did not think so, and looked down on Wang Dong from the bottom of his heart.

Especially after Wang Dong resigned from his position as deputy director of logistics at the steel rolling mill and became an unemployed vagrant, Banggeng looked down on him even more.

I think Wang Dong is just a gigolo.

He doesn't work and relies on his wife to support the family, but he is not as capable as him, an apprentice in a steel mill.

I heard that after Wang Dong resigned from the steel mill, he did not become an unemployed vagrant, but opened a big restaurant on the street. Tang Dashan and his wife from the front yard, He Yuzhu and Ermao from the middle yard, all worked in the restaurant.

Bang Geng’s first reaction was envy, and then jealousy.

I thought that since I had a job and Wang Dong didn't, I was better than him in one aspect. But it turned out that Wang Dong opened a big hotel with more than 200 employees.

The anger in my heart is simply indescribable.

Immediately, he said sarcastically with a look of contempt: "Mom... Grandma..."

"Don't think Wang Dong is so prosperous just because he opened a big restaurant on the street."

“But it certainly won’t last long.”

"Think about the many capitalists in Beijing back then. They made more money in a day than our annual wages combined."

"Take our former steel mill boss Lou for example. He was a wealthy man, but he still fled to Hong Kong in disgrace, and all his family property was taken away by the government."

“Maybe one day Wang Dong’s Dongjun Restaurant will be taken over by the state and turned into a state-owned restaurant.”

"By then, Wang Dong will not only lose everything, he may even be sent to a labor camp. Even his wife at the steel mill will be affected and lose her position as deputy director of the production department of the steel mill."

"In the end, the family was broken up..."

"It's not as good as being a worker in a steel mill."

"Not only does it have a high status, but I can also get a very stable salary every month, and I don't have to worry about being laid off or making mistakes. I just have to go to work and get off work on time every day."

After hearing Bang Geng's jealous explanation, the envious expressions on Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's faces disappeared immediately, and they smiled and continued, "My son is still the one who thinks things through."

“Starting your own business is not as good as working in a factory.”

"You never know, one day you might end up as a prisoner."

"I heard that the Dongjun Restaurant opened by the little bastard was packed at noon today. Business was booming. Even the director of the street and the director of the steel mill went. He must have made a lot of money."

"I'll go outside and say that Wang Dong can earn 500 yuan a day, which is more than Bang Geng's annual salary working in the steel mill. Let everyone in the street know that Wang Dong will soon become the biggest capitalist in our street."

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood the implied meaning of Qin Huairu's words.

People all hate the rich.

If everyone knew that Wang Dong earns more money in a day than many people earn in a year, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction.

If the matter gets out of hand, it might attract the attention of higher-ups, who might then label Wang Dong a real capitalist and bring him down.

Immediately answered: "Huai Ru..."

"This kind of thing is not suitable for you. I will do it after dinner. It will definitely let everyone in the street know that Wang Dong has made a lot of money by opening a restaurant." (End of this chapter)
