Chapter 468 Enough
He laughed and said, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."
Team Leader Zhu patted him twice more, telling him to ask how much the medicine cost and that he would bring it over after get off work.
"What money do you want? No money needed!"
Old Su refused firmly, "The trouble you've saved for my mother and my little shop, the help you've given, is more than enough to cover the cost of medicine, but..."
"What?" Captain Zhu asked.
Su Laosan coughed lightly, moved closer to Captain Zhu, and whispered, "If you really feel bad about it, could you forgive me if I do something wrong later?"
Captain Zhu leaned back, looking Su Laosan up and down. "You little brat... what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, don't get involved in anything illegal. If you do, a mere captain like me can't save you."
What are you thinking?
Su Laosan chuckled twice, but under Zhu's serious gaze, he stopped laughing. "It's not illegal! It's just... well, you'll see later. It's not a big deal, but it's not a small one either."
"Really?" Captain Zhu frowned, somewhat doubtful.
Su Laosan nodded, "It's genuine."
Team Leader Zhu thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Alright, as long as it's not illegal or disorderly, I'll definitely help with any small things that happen on the street!"
Su Laosan couldn't wait to reach out his little finger, grab Zhu's hand, hook his little finger around it and shake it twice, "Then it's a deal, you can't be angry later."
Zhu glanced at him, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"What are you trying to say, you little devil?"
Su Laosan blinked, smiled, and said goodbye to the old lady, saying he would visit her at home later. The old lady happily agreed. Captain Zhu had to rush to his afternoon shift and had to take the old lady home first. He didn't have time to investigate further and took the old lady away.
After seeing the person off, he turned back to the health center and sighed in front of Li Banxia.
He said, "Mom, we're always running into each other. What if he bumps into my uncle at our house? What will we do then?"
Li Banxia glanced at him.
He said, "Say it the way it should be said. The positions offered by the army were not specifically requested by your uncle. It just happened that he chose this position near us. Besides, it was the person surnamed Lü who stole his credit and suppressed him from promotion. It has nothing to do with us or your uncle. Captain Zhu is not an unreasonable person. He will understand."
"Well, I guess I'll hope so."
Su Laosan nodded, took a sip of water, and stood up. "Mom, I won't be eating at home tonight. I have an appointment with Uncle Xiao to meet with people from the bank to discuss the loan. I'll go to his place first and have lunch there."
"Wait a moment."
Li Banxia got up, took a small porcelain bottle and handed it to him, "This is a recipe that your grandfather and I dug out from an ancient book. We made hangover pills. Take this and try it with your Uncle Xiao, and give us your feedback."
Su Laosan's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.
He praised, "This is great, Mom. You don't know, when you eat with these people, they always drink. If you don't drink with them, it's considered disrespectful. They'll try every trick in the book to get you drunk. Even if you end up in the hospital, you won't learn your lesson and will drink like crazy again next time. I don't know what they're thinking! If this hangover pill works, we can sell it separately later. We'll definitely make money!"
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
Su Laosan left with the porcelain bottle, drinking with a group of people until midnight. He didn't get home until late at night.
I stumbled back to my room in a daze, and fell asleep without taking off my shoes or changing my clothes.
The next morning, as soon as there was any noise outside, he opened his eyes, patted his face, got out of bed, and went to find Li Banxia.
Li Banxia was practicing the Five Animal Frolics in the backyard when she saw his bloodshot eyes but excited expression. She paused in her movements and asked, "Did you finish?"
Su Laosan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Mom, it's done! They agreed to give us the full loan amount, with interest rates calculated in nine tiers. We can go and process it right away. I did the math..."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, glanced in the direction where Su Laoda and his wife lived, and said, "Mom, let's call my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
"Okay, let's talk in the study."
Li Banxia stopped what she was doing and walked towards the study.
Su Laosan exclaimed "Hey!" and quickly went to call Su Laoda and his wife.
Once everyone was gathered in the study, Su Laosan's eyes lit up as he continued, "I did a rough calculation. We had about 4.6 million yuan before, right? We bought about twenty courtyards, each about 100 square meters. If we take out a loan at 70% of the market price, we can get over 300,000 yuan. If we resell them at 90% of the market price, that's a little over 400,000 yuan. If we pool that money and take out loans at the grocery store and health center, even at the maximum loan amount, we can get eight times that amount, which is..."
Before Su Laosan could finish speaking, Su Laoda gasped.
"Mom, this..."
Yao Jianshu's pupils also suddenly contracted.
Knowing that Su Laosan's grocery store was profitable, she was already mentally prepared, but clearly, she wasn't prepared enough.
"So much money!"
Her mouth felt dry, she swallowed and glanced sideways at Li Banxia, "Mom..."
Li Banxia patted her hand.
"Don't be afraid, Mom knows what she's doing."
Not to mention that the eldest daughter-in-law was scared, she was actually feeling a huge surge of emotions as she listened to these astronomical figures.
To think that so much money could be poked into the stock market would make anyone who doesn't know the inside story weak in the knees. The children's performance is already quite remarkable!
Imagine the unattainable heights these figures will reach in the next two years, enough to help a family and generations to achieve financial freedom, allowing them to do what they want without being enslaved by money.
Li Banxia took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"...Mom, is this enough money? If not, I'll think of something else." Old Su's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and he was eager to get started.
Li Banxia gave Su Laosan a deep look. Of the more than four million yuan, only one-third was hers. Part of it was earned from the price difference of national bonds and then reinvested in the health center. She had saved up the money over the past two years.
The remaining two-thirds came from the third son's grocery store.
When she learned of this number, she was horrified. She thought about how profitable her third brother's grocery store was, but she never imagined it could be this profitable. In her past life...
How much money did Fang Xiaodi actually make by following Lao San's path?
Does the third brother know?
Li Banxia sighed inwardly, reminding herself that the past life was the past life and this life was this life. They had already embarked on completely different paths, and she shouldn't compare the current Lao San with the Lao San who had acted foolishly in the past.
"mom?!"
Li Banxia snapped out of her daze, nodded, and said, "That's enough."
More than five thousand increased twentyfold, that's...
Li Banxia exhaled with a trembling breath, repeating in a murmur, "That's enough, that's enough."
She recalled that in 1992, when the daily price fluctuation limit was abolished, there was a stock that cost 10,000 yuan, which surged from 100 to 10,000 yuan in a single day. At that time, many people in the stock market went crazy. Su Youfu regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh and said that he should have used the money to speculate in stocks.
Which one was it again?
