Chapter 427: You Should Earn Whatever Money You Can Help

"No, it's his godfather. Brother Li Ye, why are you so angry? Aren't I here to discuss this with you?"

Hao Jian watched Li Ye's expression suddenly change and was unable to react for a moment.

Whenever I told Li Ye about my business ideas, no matter whether they were right or wrong, profound or superficial, Li Ye would always give me constructive advice.

But today, Hao Jian had just given the beginning and hadn't even explained his specific ideas in detail. Why was Li Ye so harsh?

But Li Ye had no intention of explaining to Hao Jian. He just sighed and said calmly, "I drank too much today, and I may not be very tactful in what I said. So let's not talk about it for now, so as not to hurt the relationship. You find a place to stay first, and we'll talk about it at the meeting tomorrow."

"ah?"

Hao Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, brother, you see I came at a bad time, I often drink too much when I socialize in Pengcheng, you should lie down and have a good sleep."

Hao Jian stood up and said goodbye embarrassedly. Before leaving, he took out two large bags of sesame candy with a shy look.

This sesame candy is made by Hao Jian’s wife An Xiaolian, and she would have someone bring some over every once in a while.

Now, Li Ye certainly has plenty of candies, but every time he receives some, he will make a special call to Old Hao, and have a cheerful chat with him, asking how his goddaughter Hao Cuicui is doing recently and whether she is doing well in her studies.

Because Li Ye and Hao Jian met through hemp candy, these two bags of hemp candy contain their encounters and fate.

Li Ye looked at Hao Jian, opened the sesame candy in front of him, took out two pieces and put them in his mouth to taste, nodded and said: "Not bad, the taste has not changed, your craftsmanship has not been lost."

"How can I lose my skills? Brother, you should take a rest. I'm leaving first."

Hao Jian felt relieved and turned to leave the courtyard.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Hao Jian's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a somewhat sad look on his face.

He walked along the alley onto the main street and went about five or six hundred meters before Hao Jian opened the back door of a Santana and got in.

The current Pengcheng No. 7 Factory is no longer the same as before when you wanted to buy a new car and you had to ask for money regardless of whether it was new or old, or broken.

There are several cars in the Beijing office alone, and whenever Hao Jian comes, he must be given one.

At this moment, a young woman was sitting in the driver's seat of the car, holding a small mirror and looking at herself admiringly.

Seeing Hao Jian getting in the car, the woman put away her small mirror, started the engine and shifted gears, and asked while looking at the car: "Director Hao, which important person are you visiting? Why didn't you even invite him to a meal?"

Hao Jian sat in the back seat of Santana and said listlessly: "I don't plan to eat here either."

The woman glanced at Hao Jian from the rearview mirror inside the Santana, and then said, "Then let's go to Lao Mo's for dinner!

After eating, you can go dancing. Your dancing skills haven’t improved much lately, so you need to practice more!"

"I won't go to Lao Mo anymore," Hao Jian thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Jishuitan and have dinner with a brother."

The woman perked up when she heard that and said with a smile, "Is that Manager Jin Peng? I've heard of him a long time ago. This time I want to meet this capable man of yours."

"A capable general? Ha~"

Hao Jian let out a helpless laugh.

Jin Peng’s current position is the sales manager of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. Nominally, he is a subordinate of the factory director Hao Jian, but how would outsiders know the relationship between them?

Jin Peng is not Hao Jian's subordinate, but Hao Jian's brother and also Hao Jian's constraint.

Pengcheng Factory No. 7 now has a workforce of tens of thousands of people and produces millions of products every day. If these millions of products are to be sold across the country in an "in short supply" manner, they all rely on Jin Peng's sales system.

Although Hao Jian is a well-known "star factory manager" in Pengcheng, he knows in his heart that if he loses the sales channels controlled by Jin Peng, he will be in great danger as a factory manager.

So Hao Jian thought about it and said to the woman, "Xiao Na, please find a place to eat by yourself. I have something to discuss with Manager Jin."

"Something to discuss?"

The woman named Xiaona's face changed slightly, and she said unhappily, "What do you need to hide from me, your secretary? I don't know anything, how can I help you with any plans?"

Hao Jian waved his hand and said, "We are just drinking together, it has nothing to do with business."

“.”

Xiaona looked at Hao Jian's expression in the rearview mirror and finally said nothing.

Hao Jian got off the car at the north side of Jishuitan. He watched Xiaona drive away before he found a place to call Jin Peng.

Hao Jian was still a little wary of Xiaona's thoughts. At least there was no need for her to know about the private residences of his brothers.

After making an appointment with Jin Peng, Hao Jian crossed two alleys and arrived at the gate of a courtyard in Xinjiekou.

Thanks to Li Ye's guidance, several key figures of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 bought courtyards in Beijing. Regardless of whether to live there or not, they had to reach a consensus with their brothers.

The courtyard that Jin Peng bought was better than the courtyard house in Li Yetzaojun Temple. It was less than five kilometers away from the flag-raising square, which was already a good location within the second ring road in later generations.

Ten minutes after Hao Jian arrived, Jin Peng came back with a large bag of braised dishes.

Jin Peng opened the gate first, led Hao Jian in, and then asked with a smile: "Old Hao, why did you suddenly ask me to drink with you? Why didn't you go to a big restaurant, and didn't let Qiangzi Dayong and the others come over? What's the matter with all this mystery?"

Hao Jian didn't hide anything and said frankly: "I just went to Xiao Ye to deliver some sesame candy, but he scolded me. I couldn't figure it out, so I came to you to have a drink and ask you to help me analyze it."

"You want me to help you analyze it? No, you were scolded by Xiaoye? What was it about?"

Jin Peng was also very puzzled, because ever since the five of them formed a team to start a business, Li Ye had basically been giving everyone advice and reasoning, and had basically never scolded anyone.

It's really strange that Hao Jian is being scolded now.

Hao Jian first helped Jin Peng put the braised dishes on plates, and then poured the wine. After one of the brothers left first, Hao Jian started talking in a depressed tone.

"Hasn't our Seventh Factory's performance been very good this year? So we have some money in the account. I learned about the stock market and foreign exchange market in Hong Kong Island. It was the Hang Seng Index that Luo Runbo set up when we first went to Hong Kong Island."

The whole thing was not complicated, so Hao Jian explained it clearly in less than two minutes.

He was very confused and said: "You said that Xiaoye asked us to buy some, but didn't we have any foreign exchange at that time?

You know what happened later. The Hang Seng Index plummeted by several hundred points. Pei Wencong went from being the president of a small literary club to a big boss.

Now that we have the capital, why doesn't Xiao Ye allow us to go to Hong Kong Island to make money?"

Jin Peng pursed his lips, squinted his eyes at Hao Jian, and said lightly: "What did you say just now? Whose money are you going to use to make money in Hong Kong Island?"

"I'm talking about the factory's money. I'm not trying to make money for myself, am I?"

Hao Jian suddenly understood something and hurriedly explained: "Although I want to use the money in the account of the Seventh Factory, don't you know who I am, Hao Jian?

This capital belongs to everyone, and the profits won't just go to me, Hao Jian, right? "

Jin Peng suddenly asked: "What if I lose money?"

Hao Jian was stunned: "What?"

Jin Peng poured a glass of wine for Hao Jian and said in a deep voice: "You only want to go to Hong Kong Island to make a lot of money, why don't you think about what to do if you lose it?

Ono must have made money in the Hong Kong stock market, but with this kind of risky investment, some people make money while others lose money.

If Xiao Ye loses, it's his own money. When he asked us to buy some, wasn't it also our own capital? But now you want to take risks with everyone's money? What are you thinking?"

"But... But I specifically consulted several senior speculators and top managers in Hong Kong Island. They all said that the stock markets in Hong Kong Island and Lighthouse are rising all the time. If we invest a few million US dollars, we may reap rewards."

"if?"

Jin Peng interrupted Hao Jian and said sarcastically, "If your father had traveled 25,000 miles with a gun fifty years ago, you might still be a big shot now! Would you still have to work so hard for a few dollars?"

Hao Jian: “.”

Jin Peng looked at the somewhat dazed Hao Jian and couldn't help asking, "Old Hao! Do you still remember the four words that Li Ye said to us when we were in the hotel in Pengcheng?"

Hao Jian thought about it, and then said uncertainly: "You mean benefiting the country and the people?"

"Yes, those are the four words."

Jin Peng stared at Hao Jian and said, "We all took these four words to heart at the time, but later when I mentioned these four words to some people, they all laughed at me and called me a fool. I also had doubts, but later I firmly believed in Li Ye."

"Then you used the foreign exchange from the factory to go to Hong Kong to make money. Did it benefit the country? Did it benefit the people?"

“.”

Hao Jian was stunned for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xiao Ye is also making money!"

Jin Peng's mouth twisted into a cold sneer.

"Where did the money Xiao Ye earned go? Don't you know it?"

"Where do you think the money for Pengcheng Red Bull comes from? How do you think the market for Fenghua Clothing is expanding as its exports are increasing year by year? Don't you know that Xiaoye bought two trading companies in Hong Kong Island and lost money to open up overseas channels?"

"There is also the luggage factory that Xiaoye asked you to build this year, and the electronics factory that is expected to be completed this year. Who paid for all the investment?"

Hao Jian opened his mouth in shock, silently absurdly several times, and then said in disbelief: "Isn't that all Pei Wencong's money? Could it be..."

"Is Pei Wencong the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering and distress without asking for anything in return?"

Jin Peng said disdainfully: "The money Xiaoye earns outside has been helping us. The luggage factory, the electronics factory, the clothing factory, which one doesn't have you and me involved?

We are openly worrying and working hard to make money for him, but how much has Xiaoye done for us in places that are not visible? Don't you think about it?"

Jin Peng leaned forward and said to Hao Jian in a rather oppressive tone: "Old Hao! Let me tell you a truth. The more you can help, the more money you can make.

You are running the Seventh Factory in Pengcheng, helping Xiaoye and his brothers to look after the family business, so you take 30%, but you go to Hong Kong Island to make money. Can you help Xiaoye?"

"You can't help, so why should you let Xiaoye help you make money?"

“.”

Hao Jian was confused again, he felt ashamed and embarrassed.

But Jin Peng didn't let him go, instead he asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you jealous of Pei Wencong making money?

I feel like I only have a 30% share in Pengcheng Seventh Factory, and I still think that I’m not making enough? Then I have a 10% share, should I rebel?”

“.”

When Hao Jian heard the word "rebellion", he suddenly came to his senses.

"No, absolutely not! If I let my brothers down, I will be struck by lightning."
