After all, anyone could do any business that made money now, and especially since copyright awareness wasn't as strong as in later generations, pirated watches were all over the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you guys are sour grapes! See this receipt? 106 yuan! If you don't believe it, take it to the department store and see for yourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this watch is fake, I, Xu Xu Damao, will give it to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao was also losing his temper at this moment. After all, when he bought this watch, it cost him a lot of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extremely vain Xu Xu Damao carried the receipt for the watch he bought in his leather bag at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everyone really started to believe it. Such an expensive watch, to be honest, they really didn't dare to even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, many people were tempted. Xu Xu Damao could play like this every day and wear such an expensive watch, while they worked themselves to death, yet their lives were still dry and miserable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, you said you do home appliance business, you have to show us a sample! We haven't seen a single home appliance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sell home appliances, you should have a shop or a stall. You just say a word and take a receipt and let us give you money. How can there be such a good thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tempted crowd still had some concerns. After all, their concepts weren't that advanced yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still thought that selling home appliances required a storefront or a fixed stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't even know what the term \"investment\" meant yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm telling you, you've worked your whole lives, you've probably become stupid in the factory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how risky it is to rent a storefront now? How high the cost is? If you rent it without a source of goods or channels, what are you buying a storefront for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This money is unnecessary to spend. You have to spend money on the blade, spend it on transportation, spend it on publicity. You wouldn't understand even if I told you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't believe it, when my batch of goods arrives, I'll take you to see it. That boatload of home appliances is more than one-tenth of what you'll earn in your lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao knew these people were tempted, so he started to exaggerate again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he lacked now was capital. He just thought about how to quickly hoard more goods, and when the price of home appliances in Sijiucheng rose to the extreme, he would sell them all at once, and then he would just have to count the money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that there were so many people doing home appliance business in Sijiucheng now. For an individual household like Xu Xu Damao, who had no connections and no money, the risk was not small at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xu Xu Damao's greed had long since made him unable to think about the risk level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, what are you saying again? I've already told you, if you want to do business yourself, go find someone else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the people in our courtyard are employees of the rolling mill. They have been engineers and workers for a lifetime, saving a little money with difficulty. You want them to take it all out for you to do business. What are you thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have money, that's your own business. There's no need to show it off. If you are really that rich, buy your house back first, don't rent a house here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Yan Yan Bugui, who had already retired, hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been the First Uncle for more than 10 years and had long been planning for everyone in the courtyard, so he didn't want to see everyone take such a big risk...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he knew what kind of person Xu Xu Damao was. Putting all the eggs in Xu Xu Damao's basket was not the right thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Yan Bugui, what era is this? Do you need to point fingers here? Do you think this is the past? Now, whoever has more money has the final say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your First Uncle position confused by being a teacher? Does saying two sentences here let others buy home appliances or watches!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been a teacher for a lifetime. How much money do you have on you now? Stop being sour grapes here and don't let others make money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao hated Yan Yan Bugui to the bone. After all, he was the one who didn't compete with Yan Yan Bugui and ended up like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yan Yan Bugui had been doing well these years. Thanks to Chen Tian's protection, he hadn't suffered the torture of the special period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had earned quite a bit by helping Chen Tian rent out a few houses in the courtyard these years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This naturally doesn't need you to worry about. Even if I hadn't worked since 10 years ago, just relying on the rent from the few houses that Great Engineer Chen let me manage is enough for my whole family to live, and even for my retirement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui sneered at this moment. He looked down on Xu Xu Damao from the bottom of his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that special period before, Xu Xu Damao had done many disgusting things while acting like a tyrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after hearing Yan Yan Bugui's words, everyone temporarily dispelled their inner thoughts. After all, Xu Xu Damao's character was indeed obvious to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yan Yan Bugui's prestige in the courtyard was unshakable now. After all, since Yi Yi Zhonghai stopped being the First Uncle, Liu Liu Haizhong had been sent to a mental hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole courtyard was left with only Yan Yan Bugui as the uncle, and Yan Yan Bugui hadn't let everyone down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these years, no matter what happened in the courtyard, Yan Yan Bugui handled it with human touch and very reasonably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xu Xu Damao's character was indeed not very good. Many people in the courtyard had been harmed by him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xu Xu Damao really made a fortune now, they really found it hard to believe that Xu Xu Damao was willing to be so kind as to take them to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, Xu Xu Damao, stop showing off your watch. If you have money, that's your own business. We won't work with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are really that rich, do more good deeds or buy a house outside yourself. Don't come back drunk every day and disturb others' rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone suppressed their inner desires at this moment; they really didn't want to take this risk to do business with Xu Xu Damao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the national policy was quite good now. Although they didn't do business, they earned much more than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since most of the people in the courtyard were employees of the rolling mill, the rolling mill's revenue was not low, and everyone's salary increased by 10% to 20% almost every year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, do I care about taking you to make money? Don't regret it later. When I make money and get rich, don't think about running to me to invest money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know how to make money when it's right in front of you. Yan Yan Bugui is just farting here. You'll regret it later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao didn't expect Yan Yan Bugui to stand up and say two sentences, and the emotions he had finally stirred up in the courtyard calmed down all at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money he stole from smuggling home appliances hadn't reached his expectations yet. If he couldn't get the money, he wouldn't be able to earn much money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the country was getting stricter and stricter in this regard now. Xu Xu Damao also knew that if he didn't take advantage of this period to earn more, it would be hard for individual households like him to earn money in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Xu Damao finished speaking, he left angrily, feeling that it was all Yan Yan Bugui who ruined his good deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone was inevitably a bit disappointed at this moment. After all, this period was so special, and many people they knew had made a lot of money by doing business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui was indeed thinking for them, and what he said was very reasonable, but everyone was still a bit reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone don't think like that. Now that the country's support for the individual economy is so strong, those who want to try can go and try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First ensure that the money saved at home is enough for your family to live, and then take out a part of the money to do some business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it's best to go to the consulting company opened by Lou Lou Xiaoe's family to ask before doing business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This consulting company is free. Ask how big the risk is, and then talk about doing business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui was a master now; how could he not see what everyone in the courtyard was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, everyone finally made up their minds not to take such a risk with Xu Xu Damao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Xu Xu Damao left the courtyard, his anger couldn't be dissipated. He really needed money now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the whole Sijiucheng was prosperous. Besides the shops full of storefronts on this street, there were also small stalls selling everything—clothes, jewelry, watches—really, anything that could be called business was being done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xu Xu Damao, although wearing famous brands, gold chains, and gold watches, to be honest, didn't have much money in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greedy as he was, he had gambled all the money he had earned over the years on this private ship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he still felt it was far from enough, to be able to contact a private ship for smuggling wasn't an easy thing. This time, he spent a lot of money just to contact people and clear relationships!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao also thought that he would definitely make a big profit this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Xu Damao was thinking about where to get money, he saw Yi Yi Zhonghai walking out of the restaurant drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had retired from the rolling mill two years ago. Originally, with Yi Yi Zhonghai's ability and qualifications as a Level 8 fitter, he should still be in his position according to the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that after Chen Tian became the factory director, he carried out drastic reforms in the rolling mill, gradually making the rolling mill employees younger and more technical. People like Yi Yi Zhonghai, who climbed up by qualifications, were indeed greatly affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had no children, and now that he had no job, he was naturally frustrated and became a drunkard every day. **CHAPTER 396**\u003C\u002Fp>",1828,"2026-06-16T18:44:27.665Z","2026-06-16T19:13:36.245Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b8be30e2a84d1f468b3c366f95240192a635d71aa55691c7f2fa3b53996560d0","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-211","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-209",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
