Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 545: Human Relations

He takes the salary paid by Zhang Weiguo but pays Zhang Weiguo less than others. There is definitely something wrong with this person.

This is definitely some opinion about Zhang Weiguo.

You want to please your boss, but you can't let him find out easily, otherwise you will appear to be very deliberate.

You can't give your leader too little money, otherwise he will think you have something against him.

Then you can only call your leader a little more than others, so that it doesn't seem too deliberate and you can still ensure your work.

The leader may not care, but you cannot not care.

If the leader does this, it means that he is just like everyone else and that everyone has a close relationship. If you do this, then there is something wrong with your thinking and you are not tactful enough.

The ways of the world are deeply reflected in such a small dish.

Don't worry about what your leader thinks, just do your job well.

There is still a gap between leaders and employees. Don't start to build relationships with leaders just because you think your leader is easy-going.

This is completely useless. Do you think you can build connections with the leader?

None of those who tried to establish connections with the leaders were given important positions in the end.

Especially when it comes to money, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone you as an outsider.

We are in an employment relationship, you pay money and I work.

I earn my own money and don't think about anything else.

You just need to pay me according to the amount of work I do, and nothing else is needed.

It would be better if we could give out red envelopes during the holidays, but I have no problem if we don’t.

Talk less and do more. Your unintentional complaints may reach your leader's ears without you knowing.

Don't even say anything careless when drunk.

These may become reasons for your dismissal at any time.

Being unemployed in middle age is still a very painful thing.

Your age does not give you an advantage, and it is very difficult to compete with young people. There is a generation gap in communication.

At this point, it is impossible for you to find a job.

You just can't get over the hurdle in your heart.

At this time, you can only start your own business. If you have savings, you can still start your own business. If you don’t save money, you can only do other things.

Didi and food delivery, which have no age requirement, have become the jobs that need to be done first.

This job basically does not require communication with others, and there is not much to do. No one knows each other, and no one will speak up proactively.

The income from this job cannot be guaranteed, but an income of 6,000 is considered good.

For those who get 20,000 each, it is still very difficult, and not many people can get this money.

The salary is lower, and I don’t have to deal with people or entertain guests drinking anymore.

If I had savings before, I could live like this.

The key is to take care of your body.

I drank too much before and ruined my health. Now I need to take a good rest.

How can you not drink when doing business outside?

When you are working, don’t think about anything else but how to make more money.

Don’t get involved in anything else. Those things are meaningless. We are all here to make money, not to form an organization.

No matter how well you get along with others, they will not give you money.

Sometimes, you will become a victim of others.

If you don't have such ability, just do your job honestly and no one will bother you.

Not everyone can understand the ways of the world.

The braised pork for lunch is quite good. The pigs raised nowadays have more fat and taste more delicious.

It tastes even better when eaten with steamed buns dipped in soup.

Zhang Weiguo finished eating two steamed buns and washed the lunch box under the faucet.

After returning to the office, Zhang Weiguo prepared for this year's tasks.

We need to plan ahead for what we are going to do this year.

One is the construction of the courtyard house, which will be completed this year.

Another thing is the cigarette factory, which also needs to be renovated.

After these are done, the land will be almost done and there will be nothing left.

If you want to build another factory, you will need to buy more land.

We can't give up on Hong Kong either, as there are still several younger brothers who follow Zhang Weiguo for meals.

The shop left for them is enough for their daily expenses. We also need to find something for them to do so that they can earn more money.

In two years, I’ll be able to make clothes to sell.

At that time, clothes were very expensive, and leather shoes were all high-end items.

If Zhang Weiguo sells this, he can make a lot of money, much more than selling cigarettes and alcohol.

As long as you can get the clothes, you won’t have trouble selling them.

Zhang Weiguo wants to take advantage of this good opportunity to build his own commercial street.

The first thing is the location. It cannot be too close to the center.

If it was too close to the center, it would not be easy for Zhang Weiguo to build a house.

Move this location out of the way, away from important places, so it can't be seen.

Buy a large piece of land and build your own commercial center.

It would be fine if it could have three layers. The first layer could be used for household appliances, the second layer for clothes, and the third layer for food.

If he could run this business, it would be enough for Zhang Weiguo to live on.

In the future, if you want to do other things, you don’t need to find another place.

It would be more convenient if we built a large hotel here.

I just don’t know how many floors the hotel can have?

If it is too high, it is probably not allowed, and if it is too low, it will not reflect the grandeur of the hotel.

Zhang Weiguo was planning to build a top-notch hotel, so he had to think it over carefully and not let others surpass him easily.

It takes a lot of effort to spend so much money to build a big hotel, so it must be made very good.

At least, no other building will be able to surpass this in the next ten years. A hotel like this would cost a lot of money.

You can't just tear it down and rebuild it if you're not satisfied with the look.

Zhang Weiguo didn't want to spend the money like this, even if he had the money he couldn't do it.

Also, Zhang Weiguo asked his subordinates to get an identity in Hong Kong, but I don’t know whether they have done it.

With this identity, Zhang Weiguo can live there for a long time.

Zhang Weiguo couldn't adapt to the life there. Everything there was expensive.

Two years later, Zhang Weiguo bought a ship, one for transporting clothes over and the other for transporting fruits back to sell.

The prices of food and fruits there are very high.

In this way, you can make money both ways.

There is no need to worry about running an empty ship, as you can also earn money for the fuel costs.

The main money-making business is still the clothing business.

Just by selling leather shoes, others can make 30 million US dollars. If they add selling clothes, it should be no problem to make 100 million US dollars.

This was 100 million US dollars in the 1980s.
