The auction was over and Liu Haizhong expressed his gratitude hypocritically.

"Don't thank me. You won't make that much money from this order. I just don't think it's worth that much money. I'm giving it up, not being humble."

Li Jiandong still looked aloof.

Liu Haizhong curled his lips. No matter what, he could make 40,000 yuan. If he met an idiot, he might make more.

What's so crazy about Li Jiandong?

"Big brother, let's go back and have something delicious today. Let the third brother buy some spareribs. Your mother loves them."

Liu Haizhong instructed his son.

When Yan Fugui saw how peaceful Liu Haizhong and his son were, his heart ached.

It seems that it’s time to get along well with my son.

But in this world, apart from money, there may be nothing else that can win people's hearts, so I can only ask Li Jiandong for help.

"Lao Li, we didn't have enough time to chat last time. Come to my house again today and let's have a drink together."

Yan Fugui grabbed Li Jiandong and said.

Li Jiandong agreed without thinking too much.

But as soon as he entered the door, Yan Fugui complained to Li Jiandong.

"Mr. Li, how can we get our son to spend more time with us now that we are so old?"

"Oh, look, Liu Haizhong's child is back."

Li Jiandong said lightly.

"Hmph! The Liu family's loving father and filial son, and loving mother and filial son were all bought with money. Try Liu Haizhong if he has no money!" Yan Fugui said coldly.

With a self-deprecating smile, he seemed to be mocking his bangs, but in fact he was mocking himself.

Li Jiandong just smiled and said nothing. He knew that the purpose of this meal must be other than drinking.

"Don't think too much. Maybe one day the child will figure it out and come back on his own."

Li Jiandong didn't know why he wanted to comfort Yan Fugui, maybe it was because he felt grateful for the favor.

"We can't compare with you. You are capable, your children are capable too, and your family has such a good relationship." Yan Fugui drank a glass of wine and burst into tears.

This was the first time Li Jiandong had seen Yan Fugui like this.

Suddenly I feel that no matter how people are when they are young, they all hope to have children and grandchildren around them when they are old.

"Old Li, can you take me with you? If I have money, my son-in-law can come back more often."

When saying this, Yan Fugui lowered his head.

Li Jiandong wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment he agreed.

"I happen to have a cosmetics project, and I was wondering if you would like to work with me."

Li Jiandong suddenly asked.

In fact, Li Jiandong had wanted to launch the cosmetics project a long time ago, as he had known that cosmetics would be a violent industry in the 21st century.

"Cosmetics? Lao Li, I don't understand this either."

Yan Fugui is really unfamiliar with cosmetics.

"As long as you are willing to do it, just follow me. I don't have time to oversee the establishment of this factory, so you just keep an eye on it."

Li Jiandong didn't expect Yan Fugui to understand the business opportunities in cosmetics.

After all, in this era, cosmetics are not popular, but Hong Kong is still good. By using the labor force here to produce and sell in the Hong Kong market, the profits are considerable.

Li Jiandong neither hates nor dislikes Yan Fugui. He is extremely stingy and a miser, but it is precisely this character that helps him manage the company well.

Yan Fugui knew that Li Jiandong would not do a business that would lose money, and he would definitely make money by following him.

"Okay, I'll follow you."

Yan Fugui said it firmly, as if he had made a big decision.

Next, the two of them drank and chatted

In fact, in his early years, Li Jiandong had never thought about cooperating with Yan Fugui.

Li Jiandong doesn't like Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong at all.

"You two brothers, enjoy your drink. I'll go cook a few more dishes." The third aunt was happy to hear that there was an opportunity to make money, and wanted to cook a few delicious dishes to entertain Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong was not polite either. After all, it was not easy for a stingy person to get something for nothing.

"Fry the bacon you bought yesterday. It's a rare dish. Let my brother have a try." I have to say that Yan Fugui really went all out today.

"No, you guys should keep that rare treat for yourself. Just a plate of peanuts and I'll ask the two brothers to drink a few cups."

Li Jiandong knew that he had to be grateful to the guest he met, so he started to be polite.

"Brother, since you have decided to take me with you to make money, we are a family now. Let's share the good things together."

It's rare for Yan Fugui to be so generous.

Li Jiandong knew that there must be calculations behind this generosity.

How could Yan Fugui, who even plotted against his own son, be so enthusiastic towards me?
"In that case, brother, I will respectfully obey your command."

Li Jiandong also changed his previous cold attitude and became much warmer towards Yan Fugui.

Here, Yan Fugui and Li Jiandong, two good brothers, were drinking and chatting, imagining the future.

Liu Haizhong's family was even more lively, with several sons vying to be filial.

"Mom, this is the spareribs you like. I asked Aunt Chen to remove the mutton smell. Please try it." Liu Guangtian was courteous to the second aunt.

Of course Liu Guangyuan and Liu Guangfu were not to be outdone.

After all, Liu Haizhong is rich now, so naturally he will rush to be filial to the two old people so that he can get more.

If it weren't for money, Liu Guangyuan would never come back.

"Mom, I picked these ribs for you myself. They are all tender meat." Liu Guangfu said with a smile.

Liu Guangyuan felt a little strange when he saw his two younger brothers trying to show their courtesy.

In fact, I have always resented my father since I was a child. Although I am back today, I have not resented my father.

"Guangyuan, since you are back, you should follow me and learn more about antiques. You are the eldest son, so you should take care of your younger brother."

Liu Haizhong looked at his son and took the initiative to say that after all, so many years had passed, his eldest son had finally returned, and he wanted to give him a way out.

Liu Guangyuan frowned and was actually unwilling to talk more. It was only after his wife pushed him that he spoke.

"I see!"

Originally Liu Guangyuan wanted to call "Dad", but unfortunately, the word "Dad" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

"Dad, we are all your sons. You can't just let your eldest brother help you. We can all help you." Liu Guangfu said quickly.

"That's right, Dad. We also want to help you and show our filial piety." Liu Guangtian also echoed.

Of course they cannot fall behind, otherwise all the benefits will be taken away by Liu Guangyuan, and what will they have left?

The three brothers each have their own agenda and want to get more money from Liu Haizhong.

In fact, Liu Haizhong also knows what kind of person his son is, but now that he is not short of money, he really wants to enjoy family happiness.

The family enjoyed the meal together, the father was loving and the son was filial, but everyone felt like they were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

"Dad, I'll get you some water to soak your feet in. You've been so tired all day, and this will help you relax."

Liu Guangyuan's wife is very sensible. After dinner, she not only helps the nanny clean up, but also knows how to take care of the two elderly people.

Liu Haizhong enjoyed it. Although he knew it was because of money and the kids were all being hypocritical, he still felt it was enjoyable.

When Li Jiandong came out of Yan Fugui's house, he saw the lights on in Liu Haizhong's house, a scene of a happy family.

Suddenly I feel that it is a blessing for someone like Liu Haizhong to have such a day.

This is very similar to the original book, in which Liu Haizhong also becomes well-developed and the children all come to him.

However, this scene is just a bubble. Once there is no money and interests to support it, everything may no longer exist.

He didn't know how long Liu Haizhong would be rich after rewriting the plot, and how long this scene of loving father and filial son would last.
However, these are not what Li Jiandong should consider. For him, the cosmetics factory is what he cares most about.

He had been thinking about this project for a long time, but there was no one to work with him.

Now I have helped Yan Fugui and also helped the cosmetics project to develop, killing two birds with one stone.

"Congratulations host, the help system has been activated."

"If you help people who have a bad relationship with you or are just average to become rich or get something they want, the host can gain ten times the happiness and wealth."

Li Jiandong listened to the system's voice and smiled.

This system has been upgraded. I didn’t expect that I would get a reward for helping Yan Fugui.

Originally I just wanted to develop the cosmetics project, and it would be even better if there were extra rewards.

Because of drinking, Li Jiandong felt a little tired and could do with a good rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Jiandong was awakened by Yan Fugui.

We treated Li Jiandong to delicious food and drinks yesterday, so today it’s time to make Li Jiandong fulfill his promise.

"Old Li, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Yan Fugui frowned, thinking that Li Jiandong had fooled him yesterday.

Li Jiandong looked at Yan Fugui in a daze. What he needed was someone of action like Yan Fugui.

So Li Jiandong was not angry.

"Old Yan, why are you in such a hurry? We'll go choose a site when I wake up."

"Let's find a better location and start construction."

Li Jiandong smiled and looked confident.

Although Yan Fugui was relieved now, he still frowned.

"Mr. Li, how much money does it take to start this cosmetics factory from scratch?"

Although Yan Fugui had some money, he had to know that starting a cosmetics factory from scratch would require a lot of money.

Even if he took out all his money, it might not be enough. What's more, if the project fails, he will lose everything and be doomed.

Yan Fugui's idea that if you have enough food and clothes, you will be poor, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor once again came to my mind.

Although he wants to make money, he is also afraid of losing money.

How could Li Jiandong not understand this? He had known Yan Fugui too well over the years.

"Host, do you want to help Yan Fugui? First, help him without him having to pay. I will reward the host with one million in cash."

"Second, the host drives Yan Fugui away, and there is no reward." "Third, persuade Yan Fugui to invest, and reward the host with 10 million."

Hearing the system's voice, Li Jiandong chose three without even thinking.

"We'll go and select a site today. You can pay as much as you want, and I'll take care of the rest. If you lose money, I'll give you what you invested."

Li Jiandong said with a smile that he had given Yan Fugui enough sense of security.

At the same time, Li Jiandong also wrote a letter of guarantee, which made Yan Fugui completely trust him.

The two began to wander around the village looking for a suitable location.

In the end, they discovered that the cosmetics factory required a lot of land, and it might be difficult to find vacant land, so they needed arable land, and the arable land at Liu Haizhong's house was the most spacious and suitable.

But Liu Haizhong is not easy to deal with. Maybe he will blackmail them.
Li Jiandong looked around and found that only the land owned by Liu Haizhong was the most suitable.

We must take this land no matter what.

"Old Li, you see, my relationship with Liu Haizhong is not very good to begin with, so what about this place?"

Yan Fugui was unwilling to communicate with Liu Haizhong.

Li Jiandong didn't want Yan Fugui to communicate with Liu Haizhong
But thinking that he had helped Liu Haizhong catch the liar and had given the bracelet to him, he should be able to give himself some face.

"It's okay, go back and leave this to me."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

I don't want to expect too much from Yan Fugui, as long as he can help me keep an eye on the factory.

As for the rest, you still need to make your own decisions.

Yan Fugui was happy naturally.

Li Jiandong and Yan Fugui had just returned when they saw Liu Haizhong wandering around in the yard.

"Old Liu, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Jiandong thought it would be better to get things done today than to wait for another day.

"Old Li, just tell me what's on your mind. There's no need to be so secretive. We've been neighbors for many years. There's no need to hide anything." Liu Haizhong pretended to be polite.

"It's nothing serious, it's just your land. I like it."

Li Jiandong was straightforward.

After all, beating around the bush won't have any effect on someone like Liu Haizhong.

"Land? That's our family's livelihood, how can we sell it?"

Although he was rich, Liu Haizhong knew that making money was not easy, and he still had to keep the land, otherwise, when he had no money and no land, how would he survive?

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you as much money as you want."

Li Jiandong was very generous. After all, there was no amount of money that Li Jiandong could not take out, except the amount that Liu Haizhong could not imagine.

"Old Li, look at yourself, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Haizhong didn't understand why Li Jiandong wanted his own land since he already had it.

"Lao Liu, since you asked, I won't hide it from you. I plan to build a factory."

Li Jiandong's words made Liu Haizhong even more reluctant to give the land to him.

After all, he was really jealous of Li Jiandong. He wondered how much money he would make if he opened another factory.

"Since you said so, I will tell you the truth. I can't sell this land, no matter how much money you give me."

Liu Haizhong is not a pushover, he is unwilling to let others get rich in his territory
"you sure?"

I thought Liu Haizhong would ask for a very high price, but I didn't expect he wouldn't sell it at all.

This is a particularly difficult matter.

"How about five hundred thousand?"

Li Jiandong didn't believe that Liu Haizhong would not want money.

"No, please don't embarrass me, Lao Li."

Liu Haizhong's attitude was particularly tough, so Liu Guangyuan became restless.

If I had known that five hundred thousand would be a huge fortune for them.

"Dad, we can't farm this land anymore, otherwise..."

"What else? Don't you know that our business is not guaranteed to make money all the time? When the time comes, these acres of land will be the livelihood guarantee for our family."

Liu Haizhong refused to interrupt Liu Guangyuan before he finished speaking.

No matter what, he was determined not to give the land to Li Jiandong.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's angry look, Li Jiandong felt that there was no need to continue the conversation.

"In that case, I'll leave first and go check out other places."

Li Jiandong said this on purpose.

He understood Liu Haizhong's thoughts, but he was just a mean person who was afraid that he would make too much money.
Li Jiandong and Yan Fugui both felt a little disappointed because they didn't get the land.

But since Liu Haizhong is unwilling to sell it, then we'll find another place.

"Old Li, what does this bangs mean?"

Yan Fugui quickly caught up and wanted to find out clearly.

Li Jiandong shook his head without saying anything. He had to plan it carefully. Liu Haizhong was a small man who was successful, and he was determined to build the cosmetics factory.

Liu Haizhong will regret it then.
If I had known that his land was worth 20, I would have offered ten times the price and would not have sold it for .

"It's okay, don't worry. This matter cannot be rushed. Let's plan the operation of the cosmetics factory together."

I knew earlier that opening a factory would take a lot of energy.

"it is good."

Yan Fugui said this simply and clearly, and without saying anything else, the two began to plot.

In the following days, Li Jiandong and Yan Fugui often discussed the matter together.

Liu Haizhong was extremely jealous, "I wonder what these two are plotting."

After a few days, the gambling stone conference began.

If I had known earlier, someone could make a fortune at this venue.

Both Li Jiandong and Liu Haizhong were very interested in this.

"Old Li, shall we go together later?"

Liu Haizhong knew that Li Jiandong had some abilities, so he wanted to follow him to see if he could get some advantage.

"Follow me? Aren't you afraid that I might make a mistake? Will you pay the money with me?"

Li Jiandong's tone was slightly sarcastic.

"How could that be? We all live in the same courtyard, how could I not trust you?"

The words sounded hypocritical and made Li Jiandong feel sick.

But at this time the system was activated.

"System task activated."

"First, there is no reward for rejecting Liu Haizhong."

"Second, agree to Liu Haizhong and assist him in gambling on jade. Regardless of success or failure, you will be rewarded with 5,000 jade identification points."

Such a high reward surprised and excited Li Jiandong.

Since there is such a good reward, there is no need to be shy and I just agreed.

"Good afternoon, colleagues, and welcome to the Gambling Stone Conference."

As the host's clear voice sounded, a beautiful woman came out pushing a pile of stones.

I should have known that gambling on stones depends on luck.

Although Li Jiandong now has strong identification skills, he still cannot be sure of winning when it comes to gambling on stones.

But even if he lost the bet, Li Jiandong could afford the compensation.

"Everyone, look at these stones. We don't know how much we can get out of them. Let's just take a gamble."

The host smiled, and this smile actually had a deep meaning.

There is a high probability that not much jade can be produced from these stones, as they have already been tested and selected as the worst ones.

It's just a way to make money for these rich people to entertain themselves.

Everyone started to choose stones, and Liu Haizhong stared in the direction of Li Jiandong.

He had already made up his mind that as long as Li Jiandong took a fancy to it, he would snatch it away.

But he didn't know that Li Jiandong was not sure about gambling on stones.

After looking around, Li Jiandong still couldn't make up his mind.

Everyone has almost finished choosing, and Liu Haizhong is getting anxious.

"Hey, Lao Li, why don't you choose yet?"

"You didn't choose either?"

Li Jiandong looked at Liu Haizhong sarcastically. How could he not understand what Liu Haizhong meant?

I just didn’t want to take the blame for Liu Haizhong, so I didn’t make a choice.

Liu Haizhong stopped talking and Li Jiandong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He saw the smallest stone in the corner and picked it up.

According to the plot logic, this stone should be of top quality.

When Liu Haizhong saw Li Jiandong reaching out to grab the stone, he went up to grab it.

"Of course I will. I will choose the smallest one."

Li Jiandong frowned, thinking about the tasks in the system, and said nothing more.

Since he wanted to give it to him, he could gain experience anyway.

This experience is much more valuable than stones.

Everyone chose their stones and started opening them one by one. After they were done, they were all dejected because they had lost money.

Only a few of them made money and were relatively happy.

Finally we arrived at Liu Haizhong, who happily took the stone and prepared to open it.

The exciting moment has arrived, and Liu Haizhong feels like he can't even breathe. (End of this chapter)
