Chapter 434 You Want to Leave Me Alone Again
As for the reasons why Zhou Kexin refused, firstly, she didn't want to be treated specially, and secondly, she was afraid of being excluded by her classmates.
Although it is now the late 1980s, there is still no such thing as accompanying your child to study, and hiring a nanny to do so is even more non-existent.
If her teachers and classmates knew that Zhou Kexin couldn't eat the food at school and her family hired a nanny, those people with red eyes and those who are born with hatred for the rich would probably try every means to discredit her.
After Li Caiyun repeated all the reasons why Zhou Kexin refused to hire a nanny, Zhou Yong sighed helplessly: "Wait until I finish the work at hand, let's go see Niuniu..."
Zhou Kexin was studying alone in college in the south. To be honest, Zhou Yong was very worried. After all, she was a girl, and she was alone in a foreign place. Just imagine how he felt as a father.
Li Caiyun's worries were the same as Zhou Yong's. When Zhou Kexin first went out to school, she often secretly wiped away tears.
Of course, the couple also missed the brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen, but they went to the same school and lived in the same dormitory. Li Jingen was a boy, so even if they had some concerns, it would not be like the way they did for Zhou Kexin.
Li Caiyun thought about these things and nodded gently: "Ask Sister Guan to make more pickles and side dishes for Niuniu, so that we can bring them to Niuniu when the time comes, so we don't have to ask someone to bring them over..."
Every time he brought something for Zhou Kexin, he would ask Chen Pingliang, a relative who worked at the train station, so Zhou Yong specially bought him two packs of good cigarettes and two bottles of good wine.
It shows how difficult it is for parents to make their children eat food that they like.
As the couple was talking, dinner was ready at home. They washed their hands and sat at the table.
Today's dinner was very sumptuous. We had seafood hotpot, and Zhou Kerou and Li Jingan ate a lot.
The table had just been cleared after dinner when the brothers Li Hongjun and Li Hongliang arrived.
"Brother, when did you come back?"
Li Hongliang has become much more calm and steady after years of experience. He is no longer emotional in his actions like before.
"I came back in the afternoon and wanted to go to the brigade to report to you, but when I learned that you were not there, I didn't go..."
As winter came and the weather got colder, the construction site stopped working, so Li Hongliang also had some free time.
Zhou Yong kept nodding his head while Li Hongliang reported on his work and Li Hongjun listened quietly on the side.
"Yes, five projects have been completed this year, and there will be four more next year. Thank you for your hard work, brother..."
Li Hongliang raised his hand and scratched his head, feeling embarrassed: "It's not hard work, it's all my job..."
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Hongliang, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
Li Hongjun patted his brother Li Hongliang on the shoulder: "You are good now, you can speak without making any mistakes, and you have even learned to speak in an official tone..."
Li Hongliang often deals with all kinds of people. If he continues to act like before, he will probably be cheated to death.
He grew up step by step through hardships, and all this was thanks to Zhou Yong's cultivation.
If Li Hongjun had not shamelessly asked Zhou Yong for this position for his brother, Li Hongliang would not be where he is today.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Li Hongjun explained his purpose.
Li Hongliang worked on construction sites all year round, and gradually he found that the building materials business was easy to do, so he told his elder brother about it. Li Hongjun had the idea of opening a steel plant.
Zhou Yong was speechless for a moment: "Brother, do you know how much investment is needed to open a steel plant?"
Li Hongjun just had this idea, so he came with Li Hongliang to seek Zhou Yong's opinion.
"I guess it must be several million, right?"
Millions?
"Brother, even a small steel mill requires tens of millions of dollars in investment. A slightly larger steel mill would easily require hundreds of millions of dollars in investment..."
Li Hongjun opened his mouth wide, and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
“Does a steel mill need to invest so much money?”
Li Hongjun thought that if the steel plant could invest several million, he would get Zhou Yong and his brother to form a partnership to open a steel plant.
But he didn't know how deep the water was in the steel mill. He only saw people making money, but he didn't know that not everyone can make money in this industry.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and said, "Brother, you can go and do some research yourself."
Li Hongjun looked at Zhou Yong and said, "Since you said so, why should I investigate?"
Li Hongliang frowned slightly: "Since we can't afford to invest in a steel plant, we can invest in a tile factory..."
Tile factory?
Zhou Yong pondered for a moment: "The tile factory can be run, the market potential is huge..."
In two years, we will enter the 1990s. As people's living standards generally improve, every household has begun to pay attention to their living environment.
When Li Hongliang saw that his proposal was approved by Zhou Yong, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Li Hongjun frowned slightly: "How much investment does the tile factory need?"
Zhou Yong shook his head slowly and said thoughtfully: "I'm really not sure about this. If the scale is not large, I estimate that more than 100,000 should be enough..."
Li Hongjun grinned: "If that's the case, the three of us can open a tile factory together. Each company won't have to invest much, just 100,000 yuan..."
Zhou Yong's mouth corners slightly raised. He wanted to do business on his own and didn't want to partner with anyone anymore.
The main thing is to continue the partnership. The money he earns from Wei Guoan will never be made public.
I think that's what he thought, but Zhou Yong couldn't say it that way.
"Brother, I won't get involved in the tile factory. You can open it with my second brother. Wu Peng wants to open a shoe factory and a furniture factory next year. These two factories will be enough for me to take care of. Besides, there are a lot of things to do in the brigade. I really don't have the energy to do it..."
Zhou Yong had previously told Li Hongjun about his plan to open a shoe factory and a furniture factory. At that time, Li Hongjun was interested in investing in them, but was rejected by Zhou Yong because he was afraid that the new factories would suffer losses.
Li Hongjun glanced at Zhou Yong and curled his lips: "You want to abandon me and go it alone again."
Zhou Yong's face was full of helplessness: "Brother, if you think so, I can't do anything..."
Li Hongjun said this, but he didn't mind Zhou Yong working alone. After all, he had a big family to support, and it was natural for him to want to make more money.
It's just that he was not confident about his own business, so he wanted Zhou Yong to get involved.
"Brother, let me digress a little. No matter what business you are in, it's better to do it on your own..."
Although Li Hongjun and Zhou Yong did not have any unpleasant incidents due to money in their cooperation, that was because they were not overly bound by interests.
In the cooperation between Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun, Wu Peng, Li Dan and Cao Lai played a certain coordinating role. Without them, there would definitely be some problems in the accounts.
Assuming their interests become more and more intertwined, one day they will have differences over their respective interests.
Since we know that things will become unpleasant one day, why not draw a clear line between each other now.
After Zhou Yong finished speaking, Li Hongjun agreed with him very much, and Li Hongliang echoed him: "That's indeed the case. Isn't there an old saying? Brothers should settle accounts clearly, especially when it comes to money, it's easy to have all kinds of disagreements..."
"Yes, that's why I didn't let my eldest brother join us when we opened the clothing factory..."
When the garment factory was about to be opened, Li Hongjun wanted to join in, but Zhou Yong was afraid of losses and politely rejected his brother-in-law's proposal.
