Chapter 203 Eggs and Basket

Lou Xiao'e has grown up a little now, at least she has become a young lotus with its buds starting to emerge. She knows the differences between men and women and is no longer simply shy as before.

Tan Yali seemed to be trying to bring the two of them together. This could be seen from the fact that Lou Xiao'e always met He Yuzhu to chat alone.

Where did this good feeling come from? Lou Xiao'e was confused about this, He Yuzhu smiled bitterly in his heart, and Tan Yali might have analyzed from what He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiao'e that He Yuzhu really wanted to be good to Lou Xiao'e, so she gave the young man a chance.

But He Yuzhu didn't want that. He would rather Tan Yali just used him and didn't want him to get close to Lou Xiao'e. That way he would be less entangled.

Many things seem to be too cowardly, but only those who have experienced those years can understand how high the nuclear content in Lou Xiao'e is.

It can be said that Lou Xiao'e passed away early in her previous life, otherwise if she really wanted to marry Sha Zhu, there would be no good outcome for Sha Zhu's family, including Yu Shui's family.

Lou Xiao'e returned to Tan Yali and told her about He Yuzhu's behavior just now.

Lou Xiao'e said to Tan Yali carefully and nervously: "Brother Xiao He has never been exposed to these things, so it's normal that he doesn't know."

Tan Yali almost laughed out loud at her daughter's innocent caution.

She pulled her daughter to sit down, but sighed and said to Lou Xiaoe: "You, if you want to speak for Xiao He, just say it openly. Mom is not your father, there is no need to be so evasive with me.

Besides, who said Xiao He didn’t say it?

His expression showed his pessimistic attitude.

Your father and I are actually not optimistic about this aspect.

According to your father, this is just a test."

"Test?" Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise.

"Well, a test. Remember last year Xiao He said those shops would also be operated by the public and private sectors? Now it has been confirmed.

Last year I got some money from your father, and I was thinking of opening a shop to gain some experience, but fortunately I didn’t.

Otherwise there will be no end to it.

According to your father, instead of the public-private partnership of those small shops, it is better to concentrate on one point and have the right to speak, or part of the right to speak, in the steel mill instead of having no say anywhere.

Besides, your dad also took this opportunity to cash in some money.

Those are the capital for our Lou family to make a comeback in the future." Tan Yali explained to her daughter in detail the situation during this period and the Lou family's response.

But when talking about the Lou family's comeback, Tan Yali's voice was a little vague, as if she was mocking.

No matter how dissatisfied Tan Yali was with the Lou family and how many ideas she had of her own.

But the Lou family is still the root of them mother and daughter. If the Lou family is well, Lou Xiao'e will have more choices in the future.

He Yuzhu also felt that Lou Bancheng should be able to see the risks of this test. He could see the current general trend, let alone Lou Bancheng who had experienced many ups and downs.

But Lou Bancheng did just that. He kept adding more steel mills and created a lot of noise in society.

This is a gamble that for the sake of the general situation, the higher-ups will choose to give a little more preferential treatment to him, a representative figure of the business community in this city.

In fact, Lou Bancheng was not the only one who thought so. From the founding of the new country to its great development in later generations.

At every node, anyone who wants to test us makes this mistake.

They think that their little tricks are invisible to us, and that we only understand politics and not economic means.

Like Ross fighting Hong Kong Island in later generations, Xiao Ma fighting Ant, and Lou Bancheng's increased investment in the steel mill at this time, they all had the same idea.

Except for Lou Bancheng, the others may not be initiated by the initiators themselves, but pushed to that position by the capital behind them. But they actually forget that a group of people who can run a country well, how can they not understand the laws of economic development?

Whether it is strategy or tactics, if Director Yang and his people were not sure, how could they go against the plan from above and do such a useless thing that would not benefit themselves?

As expected, as several senior leaders from above took turns to investigate the steel mill, a few years ago, the steel mill spread the rumor that the upper level would inject capital into the steel mill to expand production in several stages.

Specifically, within four to five years, the steel rolling mill will be expanded to employ tens of thousands of people.

In the meantime, the rights and interests of Lou Bancheng were promised and guaranteed.

But no promises were made regarding Lou Bancheng's right to speak.

Because according to the above plan, Lou Bancheng's shares in the steel rolling mill not only did not increase, but decreased.

There are two problems here. One is that Lou Bancheng is now increasing its capital in real money, while the collective represented by Secretary Yang is still just a plan.

But Lou Bancheng didn't dare to urge this or raise any objections.

Another thing is that Lou Bancheng can continue to choose to inject capital, such as purchasing equipment in Hong Kong Island and expanding the steel rolling mill to 20,000 people, or 50,000 or 100,000.

The working group left this window for Lou Bancheng, but Lou Bancheng did not have the courage to invest all his assets into it.

Merchants are merchants after all, and they can accept both profit and loss. But if they are asked to gamble their fortunes, few successful merchants are willing to do so.

Businessmen are all very gambling-oriented from the beginning, otherwise it would be impossible for them to become rich.

But when their careers reach a certain level, they will choose to be safe and think about keeping the wealth in their hands.

Just like Lou Bancheng at this time, he was also starting his second business.

But I only gambled once and not a second time.

You can say that he is rational, or you can say that he has self-awareness.

But things like these are still too far away for He Yuzhu.

He is in that position now and can hear and understand some of the leaders' gossip.

But these guys in the courtyard just don’t care about this at all.

It's not that there weren't any. For example, the Xu family decided to let Xu Damao spend the New Year's holiday in the steel mill and learn projection from his father.

He Yuzhu was a little forgetful. He couldn't remember whether Xu Damao, the bastard, went in now in his previous life.

So when Xu Damao, wearing a Zhongshan suit and looking like a big goose, stood in front of He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu asked in confusion: "Aren't you only fifteen this year?"

Xu Damao said a little proudly: "Yes, I will be sixteen next year!"

After saying that, Xu Damao stroked the faint little hairs on his lips.

He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Did you come up with this idea yourself, or did your father tell you?"

Xu Damao still had little social experience and didn't know that he had to be on guard against others, but he said to He Yuzhu: "My father said that Director Lou is taking risks now and is not very cautious. He arranged for me to work there while he still has a say in the steel mill.

What did my dad say? Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

It's so weird, I don't know what these old guys are thinking."
