Chapter 24

Li Dongshan, who finished cleaning a fish, wiped his hands and smiled honestly. "I'm not in a hurry. Dongyue hasn't even gone to university yet!"

Li Zhenlin listened to this and looked at the three tiled houses built by him. His brows frowned tightly. The courtyard of the Li family now was three tiled houses. Li Zhenlin and Wang Xiulan lived in one, Li Dongling and Li Dongshan lived in one, and younger sister Li Dongyue slept by herself and put some sundries, etc.

If Li Dongshan got married and had children, these few rooms certainly wouldn't be enough to live in. This sentence of Li Li Dongling poked the heart of Li Li Lao Tou, making him worry as well. Li Li Zhenlin actually felt quite sorry for Li Dongshan. Li Dongshan didn't go to university, nor did he go to vocational high school. From the time he started working, his wages were basically used to subsidize the Li family. If he delayed Li Dongshan's marriage again, he would really be completely uneasy in his heart.

The so-called wealth not returning to the hometown is like walking at night in brocade clothes. Not only do people have the idea of falling leaves returning to their roots, but actually the whole world is the same. There are even ethnic groups that, in order to return to the so-called ancestral hometown, don't hesitate to fight, and one fight is for hundreds of years.

Like Liu from Jingdong and a group of people, they all renovated the houses in their hometowns. Even if the whole family had already arrived in big cities, they still went back once a year, either to worship ancestors or just to accompany the elders to return home to visit old friends. No matter where they were, the old home was a special existence for everyone.

In the previous life, Li Dongling arrived in the provincial capital, and the number of times he returned every year could be counted on his fingers. The Li family's house was never renovated. After Li Dongshan got married, he also lived in Pingyang City. During the New Year, Li Dongling, Li Dongshan, and Li Dongyue returned, but they only stayed for a few days and left in a hurry. After all, it was indeed not very convenient to live.

"You old man, other people's houses have all built new houses. What are you still nagging about here? Where is there no building of new houses!"

Wang Wang Xiulan came over and said to Li Li Zhenlin. Subsequently, Wang Wang Xiulan asked Li Li Dongling, "How did these home appliances come from?"

"Second brother, these must cost a lot of money, right? And this pager, I can't use it now!"

Li Dongyue took out a pager. Li Dongling had equipped everyone in the Li family with a pager. Li Dongyue had seen school leaders and wealthy classmates use them when she was at school. She heard that one pager sold for 2,000 yuan, enough to buy a color TV.

Even if pagers weren't convenient now, they were one of the few tools in the country that could communicate in time. Pulling another phone line for the Li family would also allow him to use the phone to contact the old couple Wang Wang Xiulan and Li Li Zhenlin at any time in the future.

Li Li Zhenlin also pricked up his ears. He calculated the things Li Li Dongling brought back this time. Adding them up, they were all tens of thousands of yuan. He didn't open his mouth just now, but he had long wanted to ask how Li Li Dongling could earn so much money in such a short time since returning from the provincial capital to Pingyang to work.

As parents, of course, they all hoped that their children would be promising, but they were also most afraid of their children having accidents. Now, what was often reported in newspapers wasn't just who went to the sea and got rich overnight, but also who made some tricky operations and was exposed, resulting in being thrown into prison, and even being shot wasn't impossible. Li Li Zhenlin certainly had worries.

Looking at the gazes cast by several people in the Li family, Li Li Dongling knew what they were worried about and said with a smile, "I cooperated with the Shangguan Town Component Factory on a project called 'Satellite Dish,' and I can get a dividend every month. These things were bought with the dividend money!"

"The satellite dish was made by you?!" Wang Wang Xiulan couldn't help but ask happily.

Now there were also people in the village where the Li family lived who started installing satellite dishes. This thing was truly hard currency in towns and villages now. As long as it started to become popular, it simply couldn't be resisted.

Hearing that the satellite dish was something Li Li Dongling made, Li Li Zhenlin, Wang Wang Xiulan, and the others no longer doubted anything else. They knew how popular this thing was now. Li Li Zhenlin's old friends who usually bought a pack of good cigarettes and bought a few catties of meat had to weigh it, but they bought a 300 or 400-yuan satellite dish without blinking.

Thinking of those old friends buying a satellite dish and sending money to the old Li family, Li Li Zhenlin couldn't help but take a big puff of dry tobacco. The stuffiness about Li Li Dongling returning to Pingyang also dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Hanxi Jiaotong University, it was not in vain after all," Li Old Man muttered, attributing this to the credit of the university, and turned his head to Li Dongyue, who was fiddling with the stationery Li Dongling bought for her and some skincare products for girls in winter. "You must study hard, and strive to produce another college student for the old Li family next year!"

"Got it!"

Li Dongyue elongated her tone and said. She had already heard this talk I don't know how many times. Her ears were already calloused from listening. Every time she came back, she had to listen to Li Zhenlin nagging a few times. Now listening to it, she felt like she was hearing the Tight-Fillet Spell.

"I left the Xicheng Wireless First Factory. In the future, I will come out and do things myself!"

At dinner, Li Li Dongling said to the Li family again. This time, Li Li Zhenlin, Wang Wang Xiulan, and others didn't have much reaction to Li Li Dongling leaving the state-owned enterprise. Although there were still worries, they just told Li Li Dongling a few sentences.

After dinner, Li Zhenlin, Wang Xiulan, and Li Dongyue were in the room, watching the color TV provided with signals by the satellite dish. Li Dongling and Li Dongshan went outside.

Li Dongshan sat in the courtyard, the dim cigarette butt reflecting Li Dongshan's face from time to time. Although he was honest, he could also feel that Li Li Dongling specifically called him back from the steel factory this time, and there must be something to say.

"Brother, I built a company. Now I'm short of manpower. I want you to go over and help!"

Li Li Dongling didn't want Li Dongshan to work in the steel factory for decades like in the previous life, and finally fall into a pile of illnesses. Li Dongshan wasn't the kind of person who was extremely clever, good at playing tricks, and liked to fight for power, but he kept his promises. From childhood to adulthood, he never broke his word on things he promised Li Li Dongling and Li Dongshan!

"Good!"

Hearing Li Li Dongling's words, Li Dongshan didn't have a trace of hesitation, nor did he ask about his position, treatment, salary, etc. after he went. Without any hesitation, he directly and firmly agreed.

Li Li Dongling glanced at Li Dongshan. The two sat in the courtyard smoking, looking up at the stars in the sky, just like when the two sat in the courtyard to cool off in summer before.

Regarding the matter of the Li family building a new house, Li Li Dongling was prepared to find a professional designer to design it, especially the interior design, which must be able to reserve modern home furnishings. This new house of the Li family was built, and it certainly wouldn't move in the short term. It certainly couldn't be outdated, otherwise, it would have to be torn down and rebuilt in a few years.

No. 25 Changqing Road, Pingyang City, at the gate of that two-story marble building, a sign of Li Dongling High-Tech had already been hung.

The construction team found by Gao Peng was divided into two teams. One construction team renovated the office building, and one construction team renovated and repaired the few houses behind.

"Old Qiao, I tell you, this time the client is different from before. I have already guaranteed for you in front of the client, saying that your craftsmanship is no worse than the construction teams in big cities like Shanghai and Yanjing!

The money will definitely not be less for you. The client said, pay according to the construction period. As long as the construction period is reached, he will pay, and it will never be delayed. If you mess it up, don't blame me, Gao Gao Laosan, for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

Gao Peng said to Qiao Qiao Zhiqing, who was standing in front of him. Now the construction team wasn't that formal. Establishing a construction company, etc., were all led by people, bringing a group of craftsmen or relatives from their hometowns to take on projects everywhere.

Qiao Qiao Zhiqing accompanied with a smile and handed a cigarette to Gao Peng. "You can rest assured about this. Which of the group of people I, Old Qiao, brought isn't an old craftsman? Back then in the provincial capital, they also had some fame. When those big companies got projects, they also wanted us to go over to construct and work. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many bad debts there and the delays were too serious, I wouldn't have brought people back!"

Gao Peng glanced at him. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have found you. Tell you, this order must be done well. This not only relates to you but also relates to me in the future!"

Li Li Dongling arrived at the Shangguan Town Component Factory. Here it was still the same as before, everywhere was a busy scene. The long line of trucks waiting for distributors to haul goods at the gate.

Now the Component Factory had already been on the right track. The newly built factory buildings had already been put into use, attracting employees from the suspended Xicheng Wireless First Factory and other factories in Pingyang to come here to work. Those factories were in a state of suspension, and employees were resting at home, naturally unable to receive wages, so they wouldn't refuse to come to the Component Factory at all.

Now the production capacity of satellite dishes was increasing very fast, and it had already increased to the point of 4,000-plus units per day. The produced ones were still the same as before, not worrying about sales. Every day, a large amount of cash could be returned. The Component Factory had already become the most eye-catching state-owned enterprise in Pingyang City in the second half of the year, none of them!

"We have already negotiated with distributors who act as agents for Guanxing satellite dishes in Henan, Hubei, Shanxi, and other places. For the first batch, we have obtained an order for 80,000 satellite dishes!"

Rushing back from other provinces, Zhang Ao said. After he finished speaking, a large round of applause suddenly sounded in the conference room of the Component Factory.

80,000 satellite dishes, a big order with a sales amount exceeding 24 million!

Li Li Dongling was also applauding. For this order, Zhang Ao's sales department would definitely earn a big profit, but the ones who earned the most were still the Component Factory and Li Dongling High-Tech. For this order, Li Li Dongling could earn over 3.2 million!

"Production capacity is still not enough, otherwise we could have pulled more orders!"

After the meeting, Zhang Ao entered Zhang Zhang Xiaocheng's office and poured a cup of tea.
