The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 297 Money in sacks
His wife had no time to pay attention to him. The reason why Yan Fugui added this sentence was not because he thought there was anything wrong with gossiping. He just naturally felt that there was no advantage in gossiping about Liu Hua. Since there was no advantage, he might as well save his breath.

Unfortunately, his wife didn't think so. How could they not talk about such a good topic? The old sisters in the neighborhood talked about radishes, potatoes, and cabbages every day. They had been chatting about such topics for decades and they were no longer interesting.

Today I have finally come up with such a profound topic, so I must talk about it, and talk about it thoroughly and happily.

Aunt Yang happily came to the gathering place of the aunties in her alley with her shoe soles. At first, she didn't say a word. She listened to the other ladies chatting and glanced at them with a look full of contempt.

What I was thinking was, you are a bunch of ignorant people who only know how to chat about trivial things all day long. I will announce some big news later that will blow your brains apart.

After chatting for a while, an auntie asked, "Auntie Yang, why are you silent today? You used to be the most aggressive. Sisters, we all rely on you to buy cheap vegetables. Why are you so distant today? Are you unwilling to confide in your old sisters?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Aunt Yang said arrogantly, "Every day you talk about the prices of carrots, potatoes and cabbages. We sisters should talk about something new."

"Aunt Yang, what new news do you know?"

Aunt Yang waved her hand and gathered everyone together: "I'm telling you, don't go out and spread rumors."

"That's impossible. We are sisters, and we are the most tight-lipped."

"Do you remember Liu Hua? He was the engineer at the steel mill." Aunt Yang said mysteriously, "He has gone into business now and has become a big businessman. Let me tell you, a single deal can earn him hundreds of thousands or even millions. He is the best in business."

"Wow, so much money, their family is rich."

"They have become rich a long time ago. When my old man was only making 40 yuan, they were already making 200 yuan."

"They must have a lot of money. They must have used sacks to carry it."

"With so much money, I don't feel bad about eating meat three times a day."

The topic started from there and there was no way to stop it. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. By evening, even the people in the next street knew about it.

But that was not the case at that time. The question of whether to go into business or not had already passed. The focus of the topic was on using sacks to fill with money. Some people had already said that there was a cellar under Liu Hua's house, and the cellar was full of sacks, and the sacks were all filled with money.

When Liu Feifei went out the next day, he felt that everyone looked at him with something strange in their eyes. Some people looked at him with envy and jealousy, and some even had hatred in their eyes.

When she went to buy vegetables, she always felt that the price of vegetables was not right. Later, when she met an acquaintance and talked to him, she found out that the price of vegetables she bought was actually a little higher than that of others.

After a closer chat, she knew the rumors on the street, and her old friend asked curiously, "Does your family have a cellar of money?"

"You believe this." Liu Feifei was speechless and shook her head. "Do you have so much money stored at home? Aren't you afraid of being robbed? Of course I would put it in the bank. There is also a cellar. First of all, we don't have a cellar in our yard. Even if we have a cellar, it is for storing vegetables in the winter."

The old friend nodded: "That's true. Money in the bank earns interest, but wouldn't it be too eye-catching to keep so much money in the bank?" "Wouldn't it be more eye-catching if we put it at home?" Liu Feifei explained: "Besides, even if an order is worth millions, it doesn't mean you can make millions. Doesn't production have costs? Workers, water, electricity, wages, and taxes, aren't these all money? Only after deducting these can you make money."

Liu Feifei shook her head. "Ever since my husband opened this company, he has been investing money in it, but I haven't seen any return on investment. He said a few days ago that the company still doesn't have a single real order."

Although Liu Feifei explained it in detail and her friend believed it, it doesn’t mean that everyone else believed it.

Rumors about how rich their family was still circulating on the streets, and because of this, the Liu family was robbed three times. The thieves took advantage of their absence and searched the entire yard, but could not find the money in the sacks. In the end, they only stole a hundred yuan in change and some valuables.

But there was an unexpected surprise. After the burglary, all the rumors about their house were proven false.

Because after the thieves returned empty-handed, they started complaining directly. They searched the entire yard, sweated profusely, but in the end they didn't find anything valuable. They didn't know which damn person spread the rumor.

However, it was not a good thing to be robbed all the time, so Liu Hua simply used the equipment in the laboratory of Huaqing University to make more than a dozen cameras.

Although real-time monitoring is not possible, fortunately the hard drive is large enough, as Liu Hua is rich, so it can store seven days of video. If a thief breaks into the yard again, he will be able to be discovered.

After two waves of thieves were caught using surveillance cameras, the public security department began to pay attention to surveillance cameras. Eventually, the public security department, Huaqing University, and an electronic semiconductor company in Jiuxianqiao jointly produced surveillance cameras.

Although the funding was limited, the public security department still installed surveillance cameras in some key areas, so many lawless elements who were once rampant were arrested in a short period of time.

What Liu Hua was most worried about was not these thieves, because the public security was not very good at this time. According to what he knew in his previous life, many wealthy people were kidnapped by criminals at this time, so he was afraid that his family would also be targeted.

However, because their family is low-key, such bad things have never happened to them, and Liu Hua is very fortunate.

Jialing Factory and Xingfu Factory finally sent people to visit. After inspecting the production workshop, they were quite impressed with Taiyi Heavy Industry's workshop management performance.

In addition, since they are all companies in the motorcycle circle, a little inquiry will reveal that the motorcycle factory under Beijing Jeep has placed an order with Taiyi Heavy Industries.

What does that company do? It produces military supplies. This shows that the quality is absolutely up to standard and the quality is absolutely strong enough.

So the two factories didn't hesitate at all, and after a little bargaining, they signed the contract, with an order of 20,000 engines a year. All of a sudden, Liu Hua really made a lot of money.

If recruitment is expanded again, the current number of workers is not enough to support the production of 60,000 to 70,000 engines a year, so Liu Hua still insists on campus recruitment.

However, the treatment of Taiyi Heavy Industry has also become known to the outside world. Such high wages have attracted a large number of mature workers to apply for jobs.

This also led to Liu Hua being unable to live in peace even at home. In the alleys, especially in the courtyards, some shameless people would ask Liu Hua for favors in order to get a job in the factory and earn a salary.
