"This is not about getting married, I am the eldest, and my parents are coming to live with me.
When I had the opportunity, I bought this yard." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
"It's really good! The yard you renovated is more comfortable than living in a building." Qian Aiguo looked around and smiled.
"I bought a lot more flush toilets this time, and I will bring two sets back in a while to renovate yours too." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Forget it! I appreciate your kindness! My two-room house is already crowded, and if I renovate a toilet, I will have to live on the street." Qian Aiguo was very moved, but when he thought about where he lived, he couldn't help but
He kept shaking his head.
"Brother Qian, actually you can also pay attention to the fact that the country now has a policy to return some confiscated houses. There are many homeowners who choose to sell their houses after getting them back and then go abroad.
If you come across a house like this, you won't suffer any loss if you buy it." Zhang Junping patted Qian Aiguo on the shoulder and reminded him.
Zhang Junping fulfilled his obligation as a friend to remind him, but it is up to others whether he will listen or not.
"Pingzi, I see you have no shortage of furniture, why are you still buying furniture?" Qian Aiguo asked curiously.
"Those are for the squad leader. He also bought a courtyard house. Both of us work. You might as well just get them here and take them over."
"Director Xu also bought a yard?" Qian Aiguo was stunned, and then realized who Zhang Junping was talking about.
Upon hearing that Xu Shaomin also bought a yard, Qian Aiguo began to take Zhang Junping's suggestion seriously.
It seems really good to buy a courtyard house.
When Qian Aiguo took the truck to Tianjin Port to pull goods, he brought seven or eight people to escort the truck, plus more than ten drivers. They quickly unloaded all the things and moved them into the house.
"Pingzi, I've put all your things in the room for you. The brothers have left!" Qian Aiguo said with a smile.
"Brother Qian, aren't you swearing? After work, it's time to eat. If I let you go, will I still be a human being?" Zhang Junping stopped Qian Aiguo and laughed.
"It's okay, we brothers are not that particular. You are busy now. Let's drink together when you are free. Or if you feel bad, just send a pig over and the brothers can mix some wine to satisfy their greed!" Qian Aiguo
Said with a smile.
"If you want to eat pork, that's easy! I'll have someone send you one later.
However, no one can leave today!" Zhang Junping took Qian Aiguo and came to Zhiweizhai.
"Pingzi, we don't have any outsiders, so we don't need to go to such a high-end restaurant to eat.
I know this restaurant. The food there is said to be delicious, but it's too expensive." When Qian Aiguo saw it was Zhiweizhai, he grabbed Zhang Junping who was about to walk in.
"Haha! This is our own store. Brother Qian, just open your arms and eat as much as you can today.
When you leave, I will get you a membership card. If you have entertainment in the future, you can get a 10% discount with the card." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Your store?" Qian Aiguo was shocked.
Basically everyone in the Materials Bureau system knows that Zhang Junping is rich, but they don't know exactly how much money he has.
Anyway, there are all kinds of speculations.
"My brother, I won't hide it from you. I opened this through a friend in Xiangjiang.
If outsiders ask, this restaurant is a hotel wholly owned by Hong Kong businessmen.
My family works and looks after stores for the people of Xiangjiang." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After dinner, Zhang Junping sent Qian Aiguo and his party away.
Zhang Junping returned to the hotel again.
At the bar, Zhang's mother and Zhang Lihong were busy collecting money.
Father Zhang is probably still patrolling the restaurant at this moment, making toasts to acquaintances, adding dishes, etc.
Speaking of which, Father Zhang is really suitable for this job.
After being trained in the farm restaurant, Mr. Zhang is now very adaptable to the restaurant business.
Father Zhang and Zhang Junping are from the same origin, they are polite to everyone and sincere in their treatment of others.
Whenever an acquaintance comes, they must go in to toast with wine and add some dishes.
For this reason, my mother nags Father Zhang a lot.
It's not that I feel sorry for the extra food, but that I feel sorry for Zhang's father drinking.
If there were three or five acquaintances at the table one night, Father Zhang would not be able to hold them back with a pound of wine.
After all, Zhang's father is almost fifty years old. How can his body bear it if things continue like this?
Zhang Junping worked at the bar for a while, and then Zhang's father came downstairs in a suit and leather shoes.
"Pingzi, is your friend gone?" Father Zhang asked with a smile.
"Let's go! Dad, how much have you drunk?" Seeing his father's face flushed, Zhang Junping frowned and asked.
"I didn't drink much. The leaders of the Light Industry Bureau on the third floor are all the leaders of your wife. I went in and offered two glasses of wine." Father Zhang said with a smile.
Zhang's father now has a good reputation. He knows almost all the leaders of the units in the Fourth and Nine Cities.
There are no secrets in Sijiucheng. The leaders of these units also know that the owner of this hotel is Mayor Qiu's in-laws, and they all give him some respect.
"Dad, I don't own a hotel so you can drink with people every day.
When an acquaintance comes, it doesn't matter if you add a dish or a bottle.
But it's not okay for you to drink every day. If you continue like this, your body will be broken by drinking before you can start your career.
If you do this again, then we will stop working in this restaurant." Zhang Junping said directly.
"We are all old acquaintances. It wouldn't look good if we didn't toast here." Zhang's father said hesitantly.
"Dad, what's not good about it?
They are here to have a meal and talk, so what's going on if you go in and offer a toast?
Are you sure people like you to come in and toast? They can’t save face, so they can only have a drink with you.
From now on, please listen to me. When acquaintances come, always add a dish.
If you have a good relationship, I will give you a bottle of wine.
Ma and Hong are both here. I have made it clear that if you go to toast again, I will close the shop directly.
You and your mother can go home and retire. If you want to play cards every day, you can play cards. If you want to go fishing, you can go fishing.
As for Hong and his wife, I will arrange work for them separately." Zhang Junping said forcefully.
"Old man, don't listen to what the boss says. Just like what the boss said, if you keep toasting like this, we might as well not open this store." After counting a dozen money, Mother Zhang also spoke.
Seeing that his wife and son were opposed to his toast, and his daughter also wanted to join in, Father Zhang simply gave in.
"Okay, okay! I listen to you! It's okay not to toast from now on!"
This business is so good!
It was full again tonight and several tables were gone.
There are so many rich people in BJ. When I first priced the products at a flat price, I thought it was too expensive.
Looking at it now, these people don't take it seriously at all." Zhang's father said with emotion.
"Who says it isn't? There are so many people coming to eat such expensive food." Zhang's mother also felt the same way.
The family talked and laughed until closing time in the evening before going home together.
Zhang Junping gave up the original two houses to his sister and brother-in-law, and moved to Dashilan with him.
The main reason is that after all, my sister is married and will always live in her parents' home. She is naturally willing to do so, but her brother-in-law is not comfortable.
Anyway, when Zhang Junping left the Material Bureau, the Bureau did not take away the house, and Zhang Junping did not selflessly insist on handing over the house.
Speaking of which, the Materials Bureau still owes him a building.
It was originally promised, but Zhang Junping voluntarily gave up because he was transferred from the Materials Bureau.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, six puppies pupated and ran over, circling around Mother Zhang.
At this time, the six puppies have grown to 20 centimeters tall, which can be considered half-grown puppies.
Mother Zhang took out the meat bones she brought back from the restaurant.
There is never a shortage of leftovers in the restaurant, so Zhang’s mother brings back a lot of meat bones and other leftovers from the restaurant every day to feed the dogs.
Now, the six pups feel closer to Zhang's mother than to Zhang Junping.
The next day, Lao Wang rushed to the courtyard with his workers.
Yesterday, Zhang Junping told Lao Wang's wife and asked him to bring someone over today to complete the follow-up work.
Install flush toilets, water heaters, and replace lights, sockets, switches, etc.
Zhang Junping continued to do his own business, building furniture.
I originally planned to go to Suzhou and order a batch of tapestry mattresses and cushion jackets.
The chairs, Arhat beds, and canopy beds designed by Zhang Junping all have grooves reserved in advance for embedded cushions.
Putting cushions and mattresses directly on top is very unsightly and uncoordinated.
You need to add a cover to the seat cushion so that it can coordinate with the furniture.
Guaranteed to be both comfortable and beautiful.
It's a pity that he can't spare the time now.
This job could have been done by Scarface, but he took his people to Xiangjiang and hasn't come back yet.
As expected, people couldn't help but think about it. In the afternoon, the scarred face appeared in front of Zhang Junping with a cheerful face.
"Well, not bad! Very energetic, a bit like a Hong Kong businessman." Zhang Junping looked at Scarface and punched him in the chest with a smile.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhang. This trip to Xiangjiang opened my eyes.
The world outside is so wonderful!
If I weren't worried about missing you, Mr. Zhang, I really want to stay in Xiangjiang for a while." Scarface said with a grin.
It is precisely because he has seen the world that he respects Zhang Junping even more.
His trip to Xiangjiang was arranged by Zhang Junping. With just one letter, Standard Chartered Bank arranged for someone to accompany him on a special trip. He walked around Xiangjiang and experienced the nightlife in Xiangjiang.
The beautiful scarred face almost made her miss Shu.
"Okay! It's good to remember to come back!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
Zhang Junping was still very satisfied with Scarface being able to come back quickly after finishing his work.
This time, in addition to seeing the world, Scarface also had another task when he went to Xiangjiang to register a trading company.
Then use this trading company to register an import and export trading company in China.
The main business is exporting Northeastern ginseng and Northeastern specialties.
"Master Zhang, the red ginseng you asked me to bring this time is very popular in Xiangjiang.
The price is more than 50 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram.
I asked around and found that the book can be sold for more than a thousand."
"The money in this book is not valuable. More than a thousand yen is not as valuable as fifty Hong Kong dollars!" Zhang Junping shook his head with a smile.
"Ah? The money in the little book is so worthless?" Scarface asked in surprise.
"Okay, you can open the market in Xiangjiang now, and then slowly expand to Southeast Asia." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"It just so happens that you are back. Tomorrow you will take someone to Suzhou and help me buy some things."
"What to buy?"
"Order a batch of tapestry cushion covers and bed covers.
If the tapestry is not in stock, place an order first.
Then go to Nanjing to buy Yun brocade.
By the way, tapestry is not only produced in Suzhou, but is also produced in Nanjing.
You go to both places."
Zhang Junping also figured out that it would be more suitable for Scarface to go to Suzhou and Nanjing than for him. After all, Scarface is now from Xiangjiang.
His status as a foreign businessman is even more valued.
"Okay, I'll buy a train ticket in a minute." Scarface said simply.
"Wait a minute!" After Zhang Junping said that, he went into the room and took out a large roll of oil paintings and a piece of paper, and handed them to Scarface.
“If there are ready-made ones, just ask them to make cushion covers and mattress covers according to the dimensions on this paper.
If there is no ready-made one, let them customize it according to the patterns on these paintings.
In addition, you invite their managers to come to BJ, I have a big deal to discuss with them."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Junping thought for a moment and then said: "Forget it, you go directly to the leaders of Suzhou and Nanjing and directly invest in the acquisition of tapestry products factories.
It doesn't require a full acquisition, and I guess they won't agree to it, as long as they can hold a controlling stake.
This must be insisted on and must be controlled.
You can tell them that after you hold a controlling stake, you can invest to expand their scale by more than ten times, and you can guarantee that their tapestry products will be sold at a higher price.
If necessary, we can sign a gambling agreement with them."
"Master Zhang, what is a gambling agreement?"
"The gambling agreement is that you set a condition, for example, you promise to expand the tapestry factory five times in size within a few years. If you fail to do so, what price will you have to pay?
Also, for example, if we want to increase the export price of tapestry products by 50%, what kind of price will we have to pay if we can't do that?
On the other hand, if you do it, you will automatically gain control of the tapestry products factory." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
"I know, it's just a bet!
I'm familiar with this!" Scarface grinned.
"Did I ask you to bring the lawyer you found from Xiangjiang?"
"Bring it, you... Steve Sun, come here!
A good Chinese must be named after a foreign devil." Scarface muttered while waving to a small man.
"Xiangjiang has been away from the embrace of the motherland for too long, and some people have forgotten that he is Chinese.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's a banana or a mango, as long as it can be used by us.
If a banana is well educated, it can also become a mango." Zhang Junping shook his head and smiled.
Scarface scratched his head, not understanding what Xiangjiang Mango meant.
Anyway, they are two very delicious fruits. He had eaten a lot of them when he was in Xiangjiang.
There are also durians that smell bad but taste delicious.
Scarface thought about the good food he had eaten in Xiangjiang and couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
At this time the little man had already walked over.
Scarface pulled him and said, "Master Zhang, this is the lawyer I'm looking for in Xiangjiang, Steve Sun."
"Are you a solicitor or a barrister?" Zhang Junping looked at Steve Sun and asked.
"I am a solicitor, but I have worked for enough years. I can apply to become a barrister at any time, but..." Zhang Junping's aura was so strong that Steve Sun did not dare to hide it and answered truthfully.
"Okay! I don't care why you didn't become a barrister for whatever reason.
As long as your service satisfies me, I can help you become a barrister, even if you are Queen's Counsel, I can push you up." Zhang Junping smiled and drew a pie for Steve Sun.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the tasks you assigned.
Regardless of whether you can help me become a barrister, I will perform my duties seriously. This is my professional ethics." Steve Sun pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and replied seriously.
"Well, not bad!" Zhang Junping nodded with satisfaction.
It seems pretty good for now, let’s see how it goes.
"Da Shan, take Steve Sun with you to Suzhou and Nanjing." Zhang Junping said to Scarface.
"Hurry up and buy the things I want first. I'm waiting for these things for the wedding."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll go and do the things you asked me first." Scarface nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you go and meet your brothers first.
I'll take care of you at the restaurant tonight." Zhang Junping smiled, waved his hand, and let Scarface go.
"Master Zhang, this is what Miss Yang asked me to bring you." Master Zhang took out a suitcase and handed it to Zhang Junping.
"Miss Yang?" Zhang Junping was stunned for a moment. He didn't know Miss Yang.
"That's Miss Yang who you sent to Xiangjiang last time!" Scarface explained quickly.
"Oh! It's her! You kid, you went to Xiangjiang and learned about civilization." Only then did Zhang Junping realize that Scarface was talking about Yang Ying, and he took the suitcase with a smile.
After seeing Scarface off, Zhang Junping opened the gift box.
There is a letter at the top and some clothes at the bottom.
It should be the clothes Yang Ying bought for him.
Zhang Junping opened the letter and after reading it, shook his head.
This girl was serious about waiting for him in Xiangjiang, and her body would always be his and be kept for him.
Although Zhang Junping shook his head, he was still a little excited in his heart, man!
Knowing that there is a woman waiting for you, it is inevitable that you will feel a little proud.
Put yourself in a good mood and continue to make furniture.
The red flag hasn’t been set up at home yet, so why are the colorful flags flying?
In the evening, I invited Scarface and his subordinates to dinner at Zhiweizhai, so that Scarface could catch the wind and wash away the dust.
Scarface brought another good news to Zhang Junping, and Lao Hu figured it out.
Since last chatting with Lao Hu, Lao Hu has not contacted him. He thought that Lao Hu was reluctant to part with his treasures and gave up his plan to go abroad.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly contacted me again.
Scarface is really his lucky general.
“In addition to acquiring a tapestry company, you can also contact the local government and invest in establishing a silk breeding base.
We must control the raw materials in our own hands." At the wine table, Zhang Junping explained to Scarface the details of going to Suzhou and Nanjing.
In this era, silk was still in the monopoly stage, and all silk purchases were monopolized by silk companies.
"I see!"
"In addition, bring a few more skilled people there, bring silk and tea. The water has been very deep since ancient times." Zhang Junping warned again.
Although Scarface is a foreign businessman, it is okay to invest in a tapestry factory, but if he invests in a silk breeding base, it will be like touching someone else's cake.
Once someone else's cake is touched, foreign businessmen will not be able to do anything.
Be careful and be prepared.
Scarface fell silent for a moment and nodded solemnly.
"Don't think nonsense, I asked you to take care of people to protect your safety.
You are not what you were before, your life is more valuable!
We would rather not do the tapestry business, and nothing will happen to you." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
