Chapter 111 Family Matters

"This crap is really troublesome. White Lion, don't make trouble and go play by yourself."

Zhuang Rui pushed away the white lion that had crawled into his arms, and looked at the black stone in his hand with a rather helpless expression.

At this time, three days had passed since the incident at the police station. After Liu Chuan's father left that day, Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan also left with the monkey Li Bing, but the matter did not end so easily.

According to what Liu Chuan later said, those joint defense team members were all expelled and cleared out. Boss Hao's brother-in-law was dismissed from his position as deputy director because he took advantage of his authority to help relatives make profits and was assigned to an urban-rural joint office.

Ordinary policemen went to the police station.

As for Director Wang, he was also implicated. Due to his poor management of his team, the police conduct was corrupted. He was also removed from the post of director and transferred to another police station as deputy director. He did not follow through. Director Wang is also unfortunate.

What a blessing.

The most unlucky one was Boss Hao. He was detained by the security for a day. After he was released, he no longer dared to stay in the flower and bird market. Liu Chuan simply asked Zhou Rui to come forward and sublet his storefront.

It will be used as an office of the Mastiff Garden in the Flower and Bird Market in the future. At this point, this matter can be considered understood.

Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan, including Zhou Rui, didn't want to be idle these days. Liu Chuan wanted to apply for the land use contract and the business license of the mastiff garden, so he recruited Zhuang Rui and asked him to find someone to design the mastiff garden.

Zhou Rui naturally stayed at the flower and bird market to familiarize himself with the operation process of pet buying and selling.

In 2003, although the Internet was not very developed, it was still possible to look up information about some mastiff parks. After Zhuang Rui checked several larger mastiff parks online, he had a good idea.

The university Zhuang Rui went to before was well-known in the country for its architecture department. Although he studied different majors, Zhuang Rui also met a few alumni of the architecture department who had good relationships. Of course, they have now entered the society. At present, Zhuang Rui and

An alumnus who works in Nanjing contacted me on the phone and put forward my requirements. He also sent the relevant information online and waited for the other party to produce drawings.

Zhuang Rui handled these matters very smoothly and did not involve much energy on his part. However, he was leaving for Nanjing in three or four days, but he couldn't get rid of the gifts he had prepared. Zhuang Rui had already decided

He gave the jadeite in the stone as a gift to Qin Xuanbing, but he racked his brains and failed to break the stone. Instead, he scrapped the stone containing the jadeite the size of a fingernail.

In the past few days, Zhuang Rui visited all the hardware stores in Pengcheng City, but none of them sold small grinding wheels. He didn't know where to buy one. Seeing that he was going to Nanjing in a few days, Zhuang Rui was anxious.

Then, I thought of a stupid idea.

Zhuang Rui just went to the pet market. On the pretext that he wanted to drill some holes in the wall at home, he took an electric drill from Liu Chuan's store back home and wanted to drill holes in the stone while his mother was not at home.

He drilled a few holes and then used a hammer to break them open. Unexpectedly, he didn't think he was professional enough and his hands were not accurate enough. He drilled the drill bit straight into the heart of the stone. The piece of jadeite was already small and pitiful, but Zhuang Rui used an electric drill.

It was completely shattered. Fortunately, he did the experiment on a stone with a small jade content. Otherwise, when he later learned how precious jade was, he would probably be crying without tears.

In fact, Zhuang Rui also knew that it would be as easy as playing to find a machine shop to break open the stone, but he didn't dare and had no good excuse. If those masters were allowed to cut the stone casually, what would happen inside the stone?

The jadeite the size of an egg center will definitely be destroyed, but if he breaks the stone according to his instructions and waits for the jadeite to come out, then he will really have a hard time telling the difference.

And you can't ask Liu Chuan for help in this matter, otherwise, after he gives the jade to Qin Xuanbing, a fool will know what's going on.

"Xiao Rui, what are you doing upstairs?"

The aunt's voice downstairs rang again, presumably because she was disturbed by the sound of the electric drill just now.

"It's okay, aunt, I just made a hole in the wall to hang something."

Zhuang Rui opened the window and replied. He was now thinking about whether he should buy a house outside. It was really inconvenient here. If he were in Song Jun's villa, there would be no one to set off firecrackers, let alone use an electric drill.

Come and disturb.

Zhuang Rui shook his head with some self-deprecation. Zhuang Rui laughed in his heart that he had just had a few dollars in his hand, and then he started to have wild ideas. Three million dollars had been allocated to Liu Chuan, and now there was less than one hundred left.

Wan, I can’t even afford the garage of that villa.

"Xiao Rui, come over for dinner."

A knock on the door woke Zhuang Rui up. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 12 noon. Zhuang Min had not been working since he moved here. He was taking care of his children and cooking at home. Zhuang Rui was doing it every day anyway.

Eat ready-made.

"Hello, uncle..."

As soon as I entered Zhuang Min's house, I saw the little girl sitting at the dining table obediently, looking like a little adult. But after seeing the little white lion, she immediately jumped down from the chair, and the two little guys went to play.

Already.

"Hey, brother-in-law, didn't you go to work today?"

Seeing that Zhao Guodong was also at home, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but ask. Because his work place is a bit far away, Zhao Guodong usually doesn't eat at home at noon.

"Well, I don't have much life these days. I'm on leave. Are you going back to Zhonghai soon?"

Zhao Guodong was not in a very high mood and talked to Zhuang Rui casually.

"The factory is not performing well?" Zhuang Rui asked. His family had nothing to worry about.

"Yes, after the restructuring, it became private, but our wages and benefits are getting smaller and smaller. It makes no sense to continue like this."

"Let's eat first. What are you talking to Xiao Rui about? If you continue to do it, you won't do it anymore. With your skills, you can do something different wherever you go. Nanny, go wash your hands quickly. You're disobedient again."

After Zhuang Min heard what her husband said, she immediately took it over. Zhuang Rui knew that his sister-in-law was an honest woman who usually worked a lot and talked little. If she could say such a thing now, it must be that the unit could no longer survive.

Zhuang Rui thought about it in his mind and said: "Brother-in-law, if it doesn't work out, just quit your job. Dachuan and I are planning to set up a mastiff garden. We don't have much manpower now. Besides, I'm going back to Zhonghai to work soon. You

On my behalf, you can go to the Mastiff Park to do the work, and you know the water and electricity work, so we don’t need to hire anyone else, do you think that’s okay?”

"Mastiff Garden? I haven't heard you mention it. The water and electricity work is very simple. Just pay attention to maintenance. You don't need to stay there every day. It's just Xiao Rui. Can it be stable? You also know that I am in the work unit.

I have been working for more than ten years, and if I resign, my job will be gone."

After Zhao Guodong heard Zhuang Rui's words, his eyes lit up at first, and then he became a little hesitant. People who stay in a familiar environment for a long time are generally unwilling to move, not to mention that his unit used to be a state-owned enterprise.

Although the economy is not very prosperous after the restructuring, I can still earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is considered a middle-income income in Pengcheng.

Before Zhuang Rui could say anything, Zhuang Min interjected from the side: "So what if you have worked for more than ten years? What will your employer give you? You won't even get a house. Guodong, I told you a long time ago.

If a few masters and apprentices come out to set up an auto repair shop, it will definitely be better than working in the workplace. If you just don't listen, go to Xiao Rui's and do it. You are familiar with Dachuan. I can't treat you badly in my own business."

"Yes, brother-in-law, I no longer have an iron job now. The sooner you come out and work on your own, the wider your career will be in the future. I am returning to Zhonghai to work now just to learn something. I will still come out in the future. If you feel like going to Mastiff

If things don't go well in the garden, you can find a position yourself, I'll pay for it, and we can invest in an auto repair shop or open a car dealership."

Although he only has less than one million on hand now, in half a month, Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture" will be framed, and it is estimated that he can make a lot of money. Zhuang Rui checked online during this time, although

Tang Bohu has many works handed down from generation to generation, but because of his great reputation among the people, every work is very popular. Like this painting, due to its large size, it should be worth between 6 million and 9 million.

At this time, with Song Jun's personality, he would not care about the price.

Moreover, selling the painting to Song Jun will save Zhuang Rui a lot of trouble. After all, this thing was traded on the black market, and Zhuang Rui does not have the extensive social connections like Song Jun and others, so he can clean the painting and send it to the auction.

Go.

As for investing in auto repair plants, Zhuang Rui doesn't just say it casually. He majored in finance and economics and is relatively sensitive to the market. When he was in China Overseas, he observed that the number of private car ownership has been increasing in recent years.

, the automobile derivative industry will surely become prosperous in the future.

He has been accustomed to saving since childhood. When Zhuang Rui had more than three million, he didn't know how to spend the money. After a while, he received several million more. If the stock market hadn't been so good now, he would have thought about it.

The money has been invested in the stock market. If my brother-in-law is willing to work in an auto repair shop or open a car dealership, Zhuang Rui is eager to invest in it. After all, the money will not go to outsiders.

"Xiao Rui, it costs hundreds of thousands to open an auto repair shop. Do you have that much money now?"

Zhao Guodong thought for a while, there wasn't much future in working in the workplace, and he was only in his early thirties, so he might as well go out and try his luck, but he couldn't afford the upfront investment.

"A hundred thousand? So little?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought that opening a factory would cost 1.8 million, but he didn't expect that he only needed hundreds of thousands, so he could spend it now.

"Xiao Rui, you don't understand this business. A hundred thousand yuan is already a lot. If the scale is smaller, you can start it with 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."

When talking about his major, Zhao Guodong suddenly became excited and started to count with his fingers: "Actually, the upfront cost of opening an auto repair shop is not a lot. In addition to the rent, it is equipment, a four-post lift and two

Buying two column lifts each costs about 20,000 yuan, and building a medium-sized paint room should cost 40,000 yuan. The sheet metal mustard machine and computer decoder cost more than 15,000 yuan, plus some small

More than 100,000 tools are enough."

Listening to Zhao Guodong talking there, Zhuang Rui felt that his brother-in-law was not as dull as he thought. He probably had not thought about opening the factory for a day or two.

"Brother-in-law, I don't understand what you're talking about. Let's see if I can open an auto repair shop with 200,000 yuan. If possible, just resign. I still have 100,000 yuan left in my house.

Ten thousand, just go out and get one hundred thousand later."

Zhuang Rui was a little confused by Zhao Guodong's professional words, so he simply stopped listening and decided to just give him the money.

"Two hundred thousand is enough, but Xiao Rui, do you still have that much money now? Although this dog is valuable, you haven't sold it, haven't you?"

Zhuang Min and his wife didn't know about Zhuang Rui selling the manuscript. Zhuang Rui only told Zhuang's mother about it. That's why Zhao Guodong had such doubts.

"Haha, during this period, I found some treasures in the antique market and resold them to make millions. Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry about money. From now on, our lives will only become more and more prosperous."

Zhuang Rui didn't intend to hide this matter from his sister's family, but he had been busy during this period and didn't bother to talk about it. Now that Zhuang Min asked about the money, Zhuang Rui just said it smoothly.

"Xiao Rui, is everything you said true? Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story?"

Zhuang Min could feel that his brother seemed to have changed a lot during this period, but he did not expect that his brother, who had always been earning a dead salary, would now be interested in antiques. He still didn't believe it in his heart.

"Hey, sister, what a fresh question you are asking. I have nothing to do but make up stories to entertain my daughter. My mother knows about this and has never had time to tell you. If you don't believe me, go ask my mother."

Rui's words also made Zhuang Min and his wife completely let go of their worries. Although the money belongs to Zhuang Rui, it is also something that siblings should do to help each other.

"Okay, then I will go to the work unit tomorrow and submit my resignation. However, Xiao Rui, you are still the boss of the auto repair shop, so I will treat it as working for you. When the time comes, I will bring two apprentices out to work together. Do you think so?"

"

Zhao Guodong also made up his mind. His auto repair skills are very good. He can handle both large and small cars. He also likes to think about it when he has nothing to do. Generally, problems that others cannot solve are not difficult for him.
