After dinner, they returned to the hotel. Li Ping and the other two discussed the matter and then said to Chen Huaiyi, "Xiao Chen, if you have reliable friends or relatives, you can ask them to help us with the work for a few days. We won't let them work for free. We'll pay them two dollars a day, and an additional fifty dollars for each house they find."
Although Chen Huaiyi was very tempted by the benefits offered to him, he did not agree directly. Instead, he hesitated. "Gentlemen, you are not planning to send people door to door to find homeowners willing to sell their houses, are you?"
Li Xu immediately laughed, "Xiao Chen, you're overthinking it. We just want someone to stake out the Housing Authority."
"Squat down?" Chen Huaiyi was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"We just stand guard at the Housing Authority. If we see someone trying to sell their house, we stop them and bring them to us."
If you go to the house to look for it, not to mention whether you can walk through the door, even if you can get in, if a stranger asks if the house has an owner, who do you think will tell him?
Nowadays, the only option for people to sell their houses is to go to the Housing Authority. Li Xu and the other two learned from the leaders of the Housing Authority that there are so many people selling their houses that they even have to wait in line.
So they thought that arranging people to stake out the housing authority would definitely yield great results.
Chen Huaiyi showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "I understand. How many people do you want?"
"Four."
"Okay, I'll go back and find someone and ask them to go to the Housing Authority."
Seeing Chen Huaiyi turn around and leave, Li Xu and the other two were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly called out, "Xiao Chen, don't be so anxious, you haven't finished your words yet."
Chen Huaiyi paused, slowly turned around, and had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Li Ping took out two hundred yuan and handed it over. "Xiao Chen, this money is for paying their wages. If it's not enough, we will make up for it later."
Then he took two bottles of Moutai and two Daqianmen cigarettes from the table and stuffed them into Chen Huaiyi's hands. "You've been working hard to help us find a house. I'll give you the rewards later. Take these things for now."
This hotel is not for ordinary people to stay in. In order to better entertain guests, cigarettes and alcohol can be purchased with money in the hotel. There are all kinds of good cigarettes and alcohol, and there is no limit on the quantity.
These cigarettes and alcohol were originally prepared for the two leaders who were going to have lunch at noon, but they unexpectedly refused to accept them. They didn't even drink a drop of alcohol during the meal, saying that they had to go to work in the afternoon and it was inappropriate to be drunk.
At first, Li Xu and the other two thought that they thought it was too little, but later they found out that they really didn't want to accept it.
Seeing this, the three of them had no choice but to give up.
In the morning, the three of them gave Huang Lang fifty yuan as a thank you for bringing them the house information, and Chen Huaiyi, who had been running around for them, deserved even more thanks.
And after they leave, he will have to take care of these houses.
So they planned to give Chen Huaiyi a big gift.
But they haven't decided on the gift yet, so they can only give him some cigarettes and alcohol as a reward.
Chen Huaiyi didn't want to accept it, but when he heard that the main course was still to come, he didn't refuse anymore and quickly said, "Thank you, gentlemen. I'll accept these things, but forget about the benefits later."
The three of them smiled but didn't respond. Then Li Ping patted his shoulder and said, "Now that we've finished talking, you can go find someone."
Hearing this, Chen Huaiyi had no choice but to turn around and leave.
It has to be said that Li Xu and the other two did the right thing by arranging people to stay at the Housing Authority. They gained something every day for more than a week.
Not only that, the person Chen Huaiyi had previously entrusted also gave good news.
The result was that each of Li Ping's five siblings had two or three more properties under their names.
What he said is correct. Although Xu Xiangqian, as a foreigner, cannot purchase real estate here, he still enjoys some preferential treatment because of his status and the huge amount of money he donated.
For example, even though Li Mei, Li Ju and Li Chen are not here, the Housing Authority has also issued property certificates for them.
Seeing that the people from the Housing Authority were so sensible, and the people from the Sub-district Office followed suit and worked hard and got scolded, Li Xu and the other two discussed and decided to simply exchange 100,000 Hong Kong dollars with each of the two units.
As soon as the two units received the checks, they went to their superiors to exchange them for various rare items, saying that they wanted to give benefits to the people below.
Upon hearing the news, the people in the street office worked even harder. They had originally said they would clear the tenants out within two days, but now they asked the tenants to move out within one day. The people in the Housing Authority were even more interesting. When returning the property, they pretended to be unintentional and leaked the news that someone was taking over the house at the door of the authority.
After learning these things, Li Xu and the other two were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
On the other hand, the ship charter king announced during this period that he had partnered with the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building to open a ship investment company, and his business was now complete.
In addition, he also asked people to buy out the nearly 200 remaining Angong Niuhuang Pills in Tong Ren Tang.
This afternoon.
As soon as Li Xu and the other two returned to their hotel room, the boat charter king came to their door.
As soon as he entered the room, he said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Li and Mr. Xu, the price of oil is going to go up."
The three of them were stunned at first, then quickly reacted and asked hurriedly, "Is there any news from Hong Kong?"
"Well, the news said that Iraq announced yesterday that it would abolish the Algiers Agreement. Conflict between Iran and Iraq is very likely to break out."
The Algiers Agreement is an agreement reached between Iraq and Iran to resolve the border dispute between the two countries. Now that Iraq has declared that it wants to abolish this agreement, its meaning is self-evident.
You have to know that these two countries are major oil exporters. If they really fight, the oil supply will definitely be affected.
As a result, oil prices will definitely soar again.
This also means that Li Xu and others will make a lot of money.
After receiving a positive answer, Li Ping and the other two were so happy that their back teeth were exposed.
From that day on, the charter king would receive news from Hong Kong every day.
