Chapter 830 Do You Know?
Du Fei looked at Lou Hongyi.
The first thing I thought of was that the Lou family might have some information channels.
But on second thought, I rejected this idea.
The current Lou family is like a centipede, and even if there are any special channels, they will not use them easily.
In other words, this high probability should be analyzed by Lou Hongyi through some public information.
Although this kind of intelligence analysis ability is rare, it is not uncommon.
Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but understand.
No wonder the Lou family was able to develop such a large family business during the turbulent times.
It turns out that Lou Hongyi still has this unknown ability.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Uncle Lou, this involves a major military matter. Are you sure you want to ask?"
Lou Hongyi's expression froze. He was originally confident and calm, but his defense was broken instantly.
He laughed awkwardly and said, "Um... I'm so arrogant. I'm punished by drinking a glass of wine. I'm punished by drinking a glass of wine~"
As he said this, he got a glass for himself and drank it in one gulp.
Du Fei watched him finish drinking, looked at Xu Daimao next to him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, we are not outsiders. You don't know the relationship between Brother Mao and Sister Lou and me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Use that from outside.”
Lou Hongyi chuckled and shook his head helplessly.
My heart says this is because the situation is stronger than the person!
Even if his analysis is correct, Du Fei can knock him back with just one sentence, leaving him unable to do anything.
Lou Hongyi simply put away some of his original negotiation habits and said directly, "Chief Du, our Lou family loves the motherland and is willing to make a contribution to the country..."
Du Fei was listening on the side and already understood what the Lou family meant.
This time, the steel rolling mill sold the steel to Xiangjiang, which made Lou Hongyi keenly aware of the opportunity.
It seems that this means that he plans to join the game and get a share of the pie, or he can just say a share.
It's just that this is just the first contact, so it's impossible to reveal your trump card. I just show it a little to see Du Fei's reaction.
It's around eight o'clock in the evening.
Du Fei went home and Xu Daimao sent him out.
As for Lou Hongyi, he drank a lot tonight, and due to his age and happiness, he was already drunk due to his excessive drinking power.
Arriving at the door of Du Fei's house, Xu Daimao was in no hurry to leave.
He doesn't drink less at night, but since he became a leader, he has learned to exercise restraint, and he no longer drinks like a desperate guy like in the past.
Although he was drunk at this time, his mind was still clear.
He glanced back in the direction of his home and whispered, "Brother..."
Du Fei said "hmm", wondering what Xu Daimao meant by being so mean.
Xu Daimao thought for a while, "Brother, you are extremely smart, you must understand what my father-in-law means~"
Du Fei nodded and waited for him to continue.
Xu Daimao turned around again and took a look at his house. "Explain to me, how risky is this thing? Tell me, Ezi and I finally had a child. I even became a section chief in the factory. My life I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, but I really can’t figure out what to worry about.”
Du Fei smiled, "Xu Daimao is really a man whose wife and children love each other."
It doesn't matter if you say he has no future or if you say he cares about his family, that's all he is anyway.
Lou Hongyi is more like an old wolf, even though he is already old and temporarily trapped in trouble.
But ambition is still burning in my heart.
Xu Daimao is like a husky. He looks like a wolf, but he is actually a dog.
Du Fei said, "Brother Mao, what do you... mean?"
Xu Daimao was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of his family, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, this time it was actually my uncle who wrote a letter home a few days ago."
"Oh?" Du Fei didn't expect that.
There is also this situation.
Lou Xiao'e had two brothers. They both left before liberation. One was in Xiangjiang and the other was in Dongyang.
Du Fei asked, "What does the letter say?"
Xu Daimao shook his head, "I didn't know that. The letter was sent from Guangzhou. Although it was in my hands, I couldn't open it and read it."
Even so, after meeting Lou Hongyi today, Du Fei could guess what the boss of the Lou family said in his letter.
Obviously, this victory in Xiangjiang caused many people who were frustrated in Xiangjiang to have some speculative ideas.
The eldest son of the Lou family is one of them.
In recent years, although the Lou family has a strong financial background, it has not developed well after going to Xiangjiang.
It is because of the squeeze from local forces.
Unfortunately, they themselves had no foreign aid, so they could only retreat and lie dormant.
He must have been suppressed too hard. When he saw the opportunity this time, he immediately took action.
Du Fei estimated that not only the Lou family, but also many people in Xiangjiang would contact us through various channels.
We hope to take advantage of this situation to squeeze out more living space in Hong Kong.
However, Du Fei was not optimistic about this.
First of all, these people are mainly speculators, their buttocks are not stable, they may jump at any time, and they are not trustworthy.
Secondly, domestic capital has been almost completely eliminated in recent years.
The best ones are just like the Lou family, hiding their wealth and dormant, their strength weakened to the extreme.
In other aspects, I also have many concerns. If I am not forced to a certain extent, I will never get involved with them easily.
Just like this time, Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
If the factory had not shut down, Li Mingfei would have had no choice but to agree to sell the steel to Xiangjiang.
This transaction is certainly no problem financially, but it must bear other risks.
Facing this kind of risk, Li Mingfei is not afraid.
But if the factory cannot resume work, he will not have to be the factory director anymore, and it doesn't matter whether there is risk or not.
In short, according to the current situation, if there is no special situation, Du Fei is not optimistic about the Lou family's speculation this time.
But...
Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but look at Xu Daimao's house.
Lou Hongyi is not an ordinary person. Du Fei can see it clearly, so why can't he see it?
But since he can see it, why did Lou Hongyi come to Du Fei?
It is obvious that the Lou family still has a trump card in their hands.
Adding this factor, Lou Hongyi felt that there is hope.
Du Fei patted Xu Daimao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Mao, don't worry. If there is any situation, I will protect you three."
Xu Daimao breathed a sigh of relief and ignored Du Fei's deliberate failure to mention Lou's father and mother.
Now, his wife and children are his bottom line, and everything else is secondary.
And Xu Daimao, as a son-in-law, saved Lou's father and mother last time, and he has done his best as a son-in-law.
Now everything is fine. Although the living conditions are not as good as before, both Lou's father and mother are in good health.
Xu Daimao is very satisfied with his current life.
The Lou family insisted on making trouble. Although he didn't say it, he was very unhappy in his heart.
In the future, if things really go wrong, he won't care so much.
Then he revealed the situation of the letter written by the eldest brother of the Lou family to Du Fei, which also showed his position.
At the same time, at Xu Daimao's house.
Lou's mother brewed a cup of strong tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Lou's father.
At this time, Lou's father leaned on the sofa and rubbed the acupuncture points on the bridge of his nose.
After a while, he let out a long breath, picked up the teacup and sighed, "I'm old~"
Lou's mother complained, "If you know you're old, don't drink so much. Du Fei didn't force you."
Lou's father smiled bitterly and shook his head, "They didn't force you, but we have to have an attitude, otherwise why should they help our family?"
Lou Xiao'e had just coaxed the child to sleep and came out of the inner room.
As the old saying goes, people from the same family don't enter the same door.
Lou Xiao'e's thoughts now are similar to Xu Daimao's.
After having a child, in addition to focusing on the child, the importance of Xu Daimao's family in her heart has also become more important.
This time, Lou's father and mother suddenly wanted to find Du Fei, and she was not very happy in her heart.
At that time, she said to Lou's father, "Dad, how old are you, why are you still messing around!"
Unfortunately, Lou's father did not listen to her advice, and she had no choice.
Lou Xiao'e came to sit next to Lou's father and said, "Dad, what did your eldest brother write to you in the letter? You didn't tell Du Fei today, what does it mean~"
Lou Xiao'e did not hide her dissatisfaction with her eldest brother.
Speaking of which, Lou Xiao'e did not have a deep affection for her two brothers.
They left before liberation, when Lou Xiao'e was only five or six years old.
After that, there was almost no contact for more than 20 years.
Now he suddenly appeared and disrupted her life. It would be strange if she could be happy.
Lou Hongyi looked at his daughter, shook his head and said, "Girl, you don't understand~"
Lou Xiao'e pouted and said "huh".
To put it bluntly, it is to favor boys over girls.
Don't think about it, when life and death are at stake, it is not her daughter and son-in-law who are by her side.
It's just thinking about these words, and they must not say them out loud.
At this time, the door opened and Xu Daimao came back from outside.
Lou Xiao'e stood up and greeted him, complaining, "Really, it's already what month, and you go out with a hot drink, and don't even know to wear a hat."
Xu Daimao chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Did you send Du Fei back?"
Xu Daimao nodded and sighed, "You said, this person is really not worth looking at. He was a child without a father and a mother, and he didn't pass the college entrance examination, but he was asked to take over the job. Who would have thought that in just two years, he was transferred to such a big government office as a section chief."
Lou Xiao'e also nodded.
Speaking of which, she knew Du Fei's past better than Xu Daimao.
Xu Daimao didn't take Du Fei seriously at first.
Lou Xiao'e was bored and good-natured, so she helped Du Fei a lot.
Xu Daimao said, "By the way, Du Fei will get married in a few days on November 1st."
Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said, "It's settled~ It's only a few days away, why didn't he tell me!"
Xu Daimao said, "You don't have to work in our yard. Everyone goes to the factory cafeteria. Director Li will arrange it, and Zhuzi will be in charge of cooking."
Lou Xiao'e was even more surprised, "Huh? Director Li is still in charge of this matter?"
On the contrary, Lou's father was not surprised. He understood the significance of the steel mill selling steel to Hong Kong this time.
He also understood how much benefit Li Mingfei got from this matter.
It's a pity that before liberation, he would have taken this opportunity to give Du Fei a heavy gift.
The kind of heavy gift that can directly scare people.
It would be convenient to ask Du Fei for help at that time.
But now, they can only watch.
When he thought of this, Lou Hongyi felt helpless.
Then he thought of what his eldest son said in the letter
, and that new connection was also a bit worrying.
With that connection outside, if Du Fei was contacted in China, the Lou family, as a middleman, or a manager, would definitely make a lot of money from it.
More importantly, with the help of these two connections, the Lou family can completely get rid of the forces that originally suppressed their family.
At that time, the couple would not have to be trapped in China.
But wealth and honor are sought in danger.
Since this matter has such great benefits, it naturally contains huge risks.
Lou Hongyi has not made up his mind.
That’s why, when he invited Du Fei to dinner this time, he only tried to test the waters and didn’t show his cards directly.
Lou Hongyi thought about it and decided that Du Fei would get married in a few days.
There was no rush for Hong Kong, so he would wait until Du Fei got married.
With an idea in mind, he relaxed and could no longer suppress the alcohol.
Fortunately, Xu Daimao’s house was quite spacious.
After a while of arranging for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to lie down, Xu Daimao and Lou Xiao’e returned to the inner room.
Looking at the sleeping baby on the bed, they smiled knowingly.
He took off his clothes and lay down with the child.
Xu Daimao reached out and turned off the light.
The room was dark, but he suddenly said, “Ezi, you won’t abandon me and the child, right?”
Lou Xiao’e was stunned, and then she understood what Xu Daimao meant, that he was worried that she would suddenly leave with her parents.
The reason why Lou’s father and mother hadn’t left before was because of the situation at that time.
But now, with the new changes in Hong Kong, the situation is different from last year.
Besides, let Lou Hongyi lower his status and sweep the streets.
Although he said it was nothing and felt that his health was better than before, to put it bluntly, he was just trying to have fun in misery.
If he really had the opportunity to continue to be a capitalist in Hong Kong, who would not be happy.
Lou Xiao'e turned sideways and said angrily, "Silly, it is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken and if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I married you, and I am a member of the Xu family. You, me and Xiaogoudan, we are a family."
"Ezi, I..." Xu Daimao's nose was sour and his voice was a little choked.
At the same time, Du Fei's side.
Not long after returning home, Qin Huairou came.
Helped to boil water to wash his face, feet, and body... and waited for Du Fei to go to bed upstairs.
At the end, he said, "Go to sleep, I'm going back."
"Don't go~" Du Fei smiled and reached out to grab her hand.
Qin Huairou pouted, "Don't make trouble. You haven't been without women these days. You drank again today. Let's take a break. Don't be willful. Be careful not to drain your body!"
Du Fei was not too surprised. He smiled and said, "You know?"
Du Fei didn't go back to the courtyard every day these days.
Qin Huairou said that he had been without women. Obviously, she knew that he had women outside.
Qin Huairou rolled her eyes at him, "Wang Yufen from the district branch, right? There was something in the factory before, and I went there to do business. I met her. She is indeed a beauty. Who would have thought that you, my enemy, would harm her."
In fact, Qin Huairou had known Wang Yufen for a long time.
Because of Wang Xiaodong's matter, Wang Yufen came to Du Fei several times.
She also took the initiative to offer herself to him.
Qin Huairou noticed her at that time.
The main reason was that Wang Yufen's situation was too similar to hers. They were both beautiful and attractive young widows.
It's just that Qin Huairou pretended to be deaf and dumb at first, just pretending not to know.
It was not until this time, when Du Fei was about to get married, that he deliberately revealed Wang Yufen's existence.
