Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2103 Qin Huairu exerts his power

In the following days, the hottest topic in the alley was treasury bonds.

Many people have started taking action.

There were many buyers, and everyone knew that treasury bonds were valuable, resulting in more buyers than sellers.

The price of treasury bonds was immediately driven up.

This is no problem for those who want to make money.

Many people then went to distant places to buy them.

Yan Bugui has recovered and reappeared in the courtyard.

After learning about the news outside, he said to Liu Haizhong with conviction, "You see? This kind of thing has to be done secretly, without letting anyone know."

Liu Haizhong retorted, "Come on, no one does things like that."

You need to tell me honestly, can I make a scene?

Because of the two of you, my son has given me such a hard time.

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "That's because they are unfilial."

He still adheres to the same old ways, insisting that elders are always right. Everything must give way to filial piety.

Liu Haizhong said helplessly, "Old Yi, can you please stop calling me unfilial all the time?"

Yi Zhonghai stared at him for a while, then coldly replied with two words: "No."

Fearing the two would start arguing, Yan Bugui quickly said, "Old Liu, Guangtian and Guangfu haven't been with Xu Damao lately. Have they gone out to buy treasury bonds?"

Liu Haizhong replied, "Yes. The two of them went to Tongzhou and Fangshan."

Why are you asking this? "

Yan Bugui was envious. He wished he could join Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu in the acquisition.

Unfortunately, he knew that the two of them were unwilling to take him along.

His body couldn't keep up with the two of them running around.

Whenever he thought about this, he felt a bit of resentment towards Liu Haizhong for ruining his plans.

"Oh, my heart aches."

Qin Huairu walked in with a smile, carrying a plate of peanuts.

"I'll add a dish for you to go with your drinks. Old Yan, I heard you were heartbroken outside."

what happened?
Are you feeling unwell?

Yan Bugui sighed and shook his head.

Liu Haizhong joked, "He got envious because he didn't get a chance to make money."

With Qin Huairu's intelligence, she could naturally guess Yan Bugui's thoughts.

She said that on purpose, just to steer the conversation toward making money.

"Who doesn't want to make money? I want to make money too."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Yi Zhonghai knew things were going badly.

In the past two days, Qin Huairu has been pestering Yi Zhonghai, hoping that Yi Zhonghai can provide funds for Bang Geng to purchase treasury bonds.

But Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to spend the money and kept finding reasons to refuse.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Huai Ru is thinking the same thing as me."

The treasury bond business is essentially a zero-sum game of transferring money between your own hands.

Qin Huairu was even more pleased to see Yan Bugui cooperating: "That's exactly right."

This kind of business is beneath the notice of wealthy people like Xu Damao. It's perfect for those of us without money.

Liu Haizhong didn't understand what the two were thinking, but that didn't stop him from interjecting.

"That's right, you can't just think about making a lot of money. These days, if you want to make a lot of money, you need to have the ability."

Because I trained Xiao Lan as an apprentice, I was able to make a lot of money.

Others wouldn't be able to do it.

A few seemingly unrelated words made all three people present uncomfortable.

Yi Zhonghai had always been superior to Liu Haizhong, but he never imagined that in his old age, he would be outshone by Liu Haizhong in terms of his apprentice.

This made him feel a little jealous every time he saw Liu Haizhong.

He simply couldn't understand why Liu Haizhong was so lucky to have found such a filial apprentice as Lan Jianyun.

Although he believed that Qin Huairu, whom he had chosen, was not bad, she was still somewhat inferior to Lan Jianyun.

At the very least, Qin Huairu doesn't have the same earning power as Lan Jianyun.

Yi Zhonghai had also thought that if he had known Lan Jianyun would repay kindness, he should have taken Lan Jianyun as his disciple. This was just wishful thinking on his part.

He doesn't give anyone else a chance at all.

Among the many people in the steel rolling mill, at least several hundred wanted to become his apprentices.

He never gave those people even the slightest chance.

From the very beginning, he had designated the residents of No. 95 compound as the primary care facility.

Not only has he defined his circle, but he also wants to completely control the elderly.

In the entire courtyard, there was no one suitable except Jia Dongxu.

Even Sha Zhu doesn't meet his criteria.

If it weren't for the efforts of the deaf old lady and Qin Huairu, who tricked Sha Zhu into becoming crippled, Sha Zhu wouldn't have taken care of him in his old age.

No one can stand his control.

He looked down on Lan Jianyun based on his experience as a worker.

Even if he could find someone he liked, he would stop Lan Jianyun from taking the college entrance exam.

In this respect, Yi Zhonghai is far inferior to Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui's situation is not that complicated. He is the kind of person who doesn't like to suffer losses, so he would never do something like helping others for free.

He turned the teacher-student relationship into a business deal, so naturally, people wouldn't have any feelings for him.

As for Qin Huairu's discomfort, it stemmed from Liu Haizhong's comment about ability.

She considers herself a smart woman and never thinks she lacks ability.

Liu Haizhong didn't care what they thought; he was filled with smugness.

Qin Huairu quickly recovered and continued with her plan: "I don't think ability is an important issue."

Besides cooking, what other abilities does Sha Zhu have?

Xu Damao only knows how to show movies; he has no other skills.

"To make money, you still need to have connections."

A subtle jab at Liu Haizhong improved Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's mood considerably.

Qin Huairu seized the opportunity and said, "I think the key to making money is to seize opportunities."

Yan Bugui composed himself and agreed, saying, "That's right. Opportunity is the most important thing."

The two engaged in a back-and-forth exchange, one playing the straight man and the other the comedian, eventually steer the conversation toward treasury bonds.

“China Overseas, everyone else is doing treasury bond business, I think we should do it too.”

“That’s what I think too.” Yan Bugui’s tone was very firm.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two men who were colluding with each other.

From his perspective, Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui were in cahoots, trying to swindle the money out of him.

"Old Yan, you always think you're the best at scheming, so let me ask you, given the current situation, how much money can you make by buying and selling treasury bonds?"

Yan Bugui immediately said, "I've already found out. Everyone else is buying them for 98 yuan each, and selling them for 102 yuan each means you can make 4 yuan profit on each 100-yuan treasury bond."

Yi Zhonghai said, "You only earn four yuan per ticket. If you go to Shanghai, how much money will you need for food, drink, and transportation to and from there?"

How much cost do we need to cover to ensure we don't lose money?

This business isn't as profitable as it seems.

Yan Bugui had no way to refute it. The business of buying and selling treasury bonds was indeed not very profitable.

He wouldn't want to do this if there were other businesses available.

The problem is, given his abilities and age, this is all he can do.

With the thought that even a small mosquito is still meat, Yan Bugui was still reluctant to let go.

Qin Huairu's goal was not actually to make a lot of money through treasury bonds.

Her real purpose was to take away Yi Zhonghai's savings.

Yi Zhonghai's reasons were not enough to make the two give up.

Qin Huairu said, "Actually, our profits are quite high."

Here's what I'm thinking: after we acquire the treasury bonds, we won't need to go to Shanghai to buy and sell them ourselves.

"We can ask Guangtian and Guangfu to help us sell them while they're at it."
