Chapter 516: Buying Equipment from Lou Xiaoe
Now Li Shengli is saying this as if he is joking with him. Two months is of no use. Even if he wants to start a business, he can't accomplish anything in this month.
"Silly Zhu, I have a suggestion here. Would you like to consider it?"
Li Shengli rolled his eyes and a bad idea popped into his mind.
"What's the idea?"
Sha Zhu originally didn't intend to listen, but he still had something to ask of Li Shengli, so he had to listen.
"Aren't you living with that old man named Yi Zhonghai now? His room must be uncomfortable."
Li Shengli chuckled. He knew how it felt. If a paralyzed person in bed had no one to take care of him in time, the smell in the room would make it uninhabitable.
Sha Zhu glared at Li Shengli with his eyes slanted. Isn't this obvious?
"How about you? There are two temporary houses outside Liu Haizhong's house. You and Yi Zhonghai can rent one each. Then you can live with Qin Huairu and you won't have to smell Yi Zhonghai's scent."
Li Shengli's idea was definitely for Sha Zhu's good. Yi Zhonghai lived in a temporary building in front of Liu Haizhong's door. If Liu Haizhong didn't want to smell the smell of shit and urine in his own house, he would definitely help Sha Zhu take care of Yi Zhonghai a little.
In this way, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu can live together, Yi Zhonghai will have someone to take care of him, no one will have to smell the smell of shit and urine on Yi Zhonghai's body, and she can also take over Yi Zhonghai's house. This is a good thing that kills four birds with one stone.
After Li Shengli said this, Sha Zhu was really moved. He was now living with Yi Zhonghai, and not only did he have to smell bad smells, but he also had no one to take care of him.
Sha Zhu had long been accustomed to a life of having food and clothes provided for him. No matter what Qin Huairu planned, she did take good care of Sha Zhu.
"You take me for a fool, don't you? In this case, the old man's house will be yours."
Sha Zhu shook his head and glared at Li Shengli unhappily. He was waiting for him here.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you tell Qin Huairu about this, I'm sure she will agree."
Qin Huairu would definitely agree to this. After all, it was not her house that was taken away by Li Shengli. If it was really taken away, Qin Huairu might be able to get some of it out of the money that Li Shengli lent them.
"Just keep talking bullshit to me right here."
Shazhu also realized that Lee Seungri was making fun of him.
"Is it really impossible to give us a few more days?"
Sha Zhu didn't plan to chat nonsense with Li Shengli anymore, but before leaving he still asked a question with expectation.
"Sha Zhu, don't push your luck. I've already given you enough face." Li Shengli rejected Sha Zhu's request without hesitation. Giving him a two-month grace period was already quite kind of him.
There is only one word to describe Lee Seung-ri's expression, and that is no room for negotiation. Sha Zhu had no choice but to leave Lee Seung-ri's house unhappily. He had nothing to say about Lee Seung-ri's unkindness.
He had already been unable to defeat Lee Seung-ri before, not to mention that he was injured now, making him even less of a match for Lee Seung-ri. He, who always liked to use force to overpower others, had to admit this fact.
"Victory, does that matter?"
Han Qiuyun listened to the conversation between the two and she also understood clearly the purpose of Sha Zhu's visit.
"It's okay. Shazhu will have money. His disciples can pay him back with a little bit of money."
Li Shengli was not too worried about whether Sha Zhu could pay back the money. Sha Zhu was quite good to his apprentice. He taught him everything he should have learned at his age. In addition to the Tan family dishes he mentioned, he taught him everything else he could. As long as his apprentice was not an ungrateful person like Bang Geng, Sha Zhu would be able to pay back the money easily.
Li Shengli didn't take this matter to heart.
A few days later, there was news from Lou Xiao'e that she had returned from Hong Kong after finishing her work. When she heard that Li Shengli wanted to see her about something, she called her specifically to ask him to meet her.
The two were already acquaintances, so there was no excessive politeness when they met. Li Shengli directly stated his purpose.
"Tetra Pak Aseptic? What do you want this for?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Shengli with a puzzled look on her face. He runs both a hotpot restaurant and a hotel, so why would he need such packaging equipment?
This type of packaging is not uncommon in Hong Kong, and many fruit juices and milk products are packaged in this way.
"Li Shengli, are you planning to start a new business?"
Lou Xiao'e's heart moved. Her children were still young and had just taken over her business. They didn't know much about the inland. Although Lou Xiao'e had some understanding and was very optimistic about the development of the inland, she mainly did business in the south and had only a vague understanding of things on the grassland.
"I saw on TV that fruit juice and milk drinks in Hong Kong also use Tetra Pak aseptic packaging, so I'm thinking about opening a milk factory."
Li Shengli just said that he got the inspiration from TV. He did not hide what business he wanted to start from Lou Xiaoe. There was no way she would give up her own business and compete with him for the dairy business.
"Milk."
Lou Xiao'e thought about it and felt that this thing was actually somewhat related to Li Shengli's profession as a chef.
Lou Xiao'e calculated the population of the inland areas. Although the economic conditions were not very good, she was still optimistic about the inland economy: "Li Shengli, I want to take part in your business. When the time comes, we can make this business bigger and stronger, and then wait for the listing in Hong Kong."
The more Lou Xiao'e thought about it, the more she felt that there was a way to do this, but there was no way because the population base was there.
"Lou Xiao'e, if you want to participate, that's fine, but there are some things we need to say in advance."
Li Shengli had anticipated Lou Xiaoe's thoughts, but he also made it clear in advance that Li Shengli did not intend to list his company on the stock market. What would happen if he listed it? Li Shengli did not think that he and his children could defeat those unscrupulous capitalists.
"I don't plan to go public, and I don't plan to make too much money."
Li Shengli didn't think about making too much money, just enough to spend. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Too much money will be too much to handle.
"Why open a factory if it doesn't make money?"
Lou Xiao'e believed what Li Shengli said. He had no need to lie to her.
"We have to make money, but we have to do it step by step. It won't take more than ten or twenty years to achieve a big scale."
Li Shengli doesn't have much confidence in his business either.
"Forget it, I won't compete with you for this business."
Lou Xiao'e thought about it, and according to what Li Shengli said, she gave up the idea of participating in the investment.
