Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Because they earned just too much.

Can you handle a net profit of three or four thousand yuan a month?

If you calculate it this way, you'd have to give Yi Zhonghai over a thousand yuan every month.

That's over a thousand!

It hurts!

His wife, Qin Jingru, works in a TV factory and only earns fifty a month, while I gave Yi Zhonghai over a thousand.

More than 10,000 a year.

Why would someone with no descendants need so much money?

So, Xu Damao started to have wicked thoughts.

He let Yi Zhonghai take on apprentices, but didn't pay Yi Zhonghai. He figured that by next year the apprentices would have learned enough, and then he could kick Yi Zhonghai out and just give him a few hundred yuan.

Anyway, he doesn't have a son, so no one will stand up for him.

I, Xu Da Mao, am not afraid of an old man with no descendants.

Xu Damao didn't even consider that he himself was also childless.

"Two hundred, that's all I have on me right now!" Xu Damao's face turned pale as he pulled out two hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to Aunt Yi.

The woman was still not satisfied.

After all, Yi Zhonghai had been working for Xu Damao for half a year.

In the past six months, even by the standards of more than ten years ago, Yi Zhonghai would have earned a thousand or so yuan.

Don't forget that when Yi Zhonghai retired, his monthly salary was almost 300 yuan.

"We agreed to settle accounts every three months!" Aunt Yi said. "It's been half a year now, and you haven't given us a single penny. No way, we have to settle the accounts today!"

"If the accounts aren't settled, Lao Yi will quit after the New Year!"

Aunt Yi threatened Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's veins bulged immediately: "Hey...you're threatening me?"

"Shh!"

Xu Damao snatched the two hundred yuan from Aunt Yi's hand: "You don't want it, huh? You won't get a single penny!"

"I'll teach you to threaten me!"

"Wow……"

The woman sat down on the ground and started crying.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai also came over with a dark face: "Da Mao... what you did was not fair or kind!"

Yi Zhonghai vomited blood!

He lived his whole life as an old man, whether in the factory or in the courtyard. Although he couldn't be said to have absolute authority, he certainly earned respect.

But now, they've actually been bullied to this extent by that little brat Xu Damao.

Vomiting blood!

"Da Mao!" Yi Zhonghai said, "Don't bully me, look at yourself... look at yourself!"

Clearly, Yi Zhonghai's subtext is: I have no son, and you're going to be childless too. You're bullying me now, but others will bully you in the future!

"Hmph..." Xu Damao snorted coldly, looking displeased: "Go ahead and sue me if you want, Uncle Yi. I've already said I'm in trouble right now, I'm in trouble, can't you understand?"

"Two hundred yuan isn't enough for you two old folks to celebrate the New Year?"

"You're being greedy!"

Xu Damao spoke with righteous indignation.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Alright, alright, we'll admit we're greedy, we're greedy!"

"Sigh... Let's go!" He pulled the old lady away.

Xu Damao's expression grew increasingly grave.

As a result, putting everything else aside, it's no longer possible to get Yi Zhonghai to work for him in the future.

He couldn't help but regret it. What difference would it have made if he had given Yi Zhonghai five hundred yuan?

Ugh……

"Everyone in the compound, if you have money, come and lend a hand! Let's have a short meeting at Uncle Yi's house!" Uncle San shouted from afar.

Many people went to Uncle Yi's house.

After all, the old man was the victim in this case, which earned him a lot of sympathy.

Liu Aiguo didn't want to go, but Yu Li pushed him out the door, asking him to handle the neighborly relations. He had no choice but to come to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Uncle Er and Uncle San kept cursing Xu Damao.

The three old men still retain the friendship they had when they were in power together.

Liu Aiguo silently took out a thousand yuan and gave it to Aunt Yi, saying, "Aunt Yi, we can't skip the New Year. Take this money and use it to prepare some New Year's goods!"

"If you don't want to buy any, that's fine too. I have plenty of New Year's goods. I'll have Xiaohu and Xiaolong bring you some later!"

The old lady cried her heart out. She took Liu Aiguo's money and said, "Aiguo, don't worry, we will definitely pay you back!"

"Uncle Yi!" Liu Aiguo asked, "What are your plans after the New Year? Will you continue working for Xu Damao?"

"Screw him!"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "I've never seen anyone like this in my life, working without paying. I never realized this kid was so wicked, wicked to the core!"

"He thinks I don't know how much he earns in a day, humph... He earns three or four thousand yuan a month, but he won't even share it with me!"

"They promised a 30/70 split, this is taking advantage of the fact that I, Yi Zhonghai, have no descendants!"

"Waaah..." Even the dignified Yi Zhonghai started crying like a child.

I'm heartbroken.

"Well then!" Liu Aiguo took out 10,000 yuan and threw it to Yi Zhonghai, saying, "Since this Iron Cavalry Shop is so profitable, I'll invest. Here's 10,000 yuan for you. Go open your own shop!"

"But I have one condition!"

"From now on, we'll split all the profits from the store 50/50!"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes suddenly lit up.

He took a deep breath and looked at Liu Aiguo.

He had never been able to understand Liu Aiguo.

For many years, he had even been on the opposite side of Liu Aiguo.

However, Yi Zhonghai is certain of one thing: Liu Aiguo keeps his word.

He cheats people, but he's not immoral.

We will avenge any wrongs, but we will never bully others.

Ten thousand yuan is enough for Yi Zhonghai to open a shop. The entire shop only costs three to five thousand yuan. He can use the rest of the money to buy some steel and tools.

Ironware doesn't expire; it's guaranteed to sell as soon as it's made.

Haha!

With my skills, Yi Zhonghai, I can make at least three thousand in profit a month.

“Alright!” Yi Zhonghai took the 10,000 yuan and said, “I’ll take this money. Don’t worry, Aiguo. I will give you half of the money I make from running this shop. If I go back on my word, may I be struck by lightning!”

"Hehe!" Liu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Uncle Yi, I believe you!"

The letter is fake.

The truth is that Liu Aiguo is not short of money.

As long as I can break even on my 10,000 yuan investment, it doesn't matter. As for why I'm sponsoring Yi Zhonghai...

Let Yi Zhonghai turn the tables and slap Xu Damao in the face.

How wonderful!

Life is but a play!

"Uncle Yi!" Liu Haizhong asked with some concern, "Didn't you take on two apprentices for Xu Damao? After you leave, will they take over your business?"

"and!"

Yi Zhonghai said with disdain, "Uncle Er, you also came from a factory background. How many years have you been practicing your forging skills? Do you think those kids can become masters after only two months of training?"

"They can't even use the tools properly!"

"Hmph... Xu Damao, you'll regret this!"

Chapter 236 Yi Zhonghai's shop opens, Xu Damao is dumbfounded!

The next day, with the money given to him by Liu Aiguo in his pocket, Uncle Yi Zhonghai left the compound.

The streets were filled with the sound of firecrackers.
