Chapter 511 I Have to Curry Favor with My Sister-in-Law Even More From Now On!
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui returned from Japan.
They brought back many gifts for Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo, including the latest Sony Walkman and the popular Nintendo Famicom.
The Sony Walkman was fine, but the appearance of the Famicom immediately aroused the interest of several girls.
Facts have proved that girls are not much more resistant to electronic games than boys, unless something more attractive appears, otherwise they will be as fascinated by you as boys.
"I'll play for a while, you've played several games"
"Whoever wins will play one more game, let's start a game now"
"Have you played in Malaysia before? You look more familiar with it than me"
"I haven't, I only heard about this kind of game console last year, and my mother didn't buy it for me"
"."
Fu Yiruo fully implemented Li Ye's idea of "fair treatment" for Wen Leyu, and had a lot of fun fighting with her future sister-in-law.
Li Ye watched for a while, then lost interest, because the red and white machine is all about nostalgia, but the games in 1985 are too simple, and the classic Contra has not yet been released!
"Li Ye, don't you want to play for a while? It's fun."
Wen Leyu suddenly asked Li Ye after playing for a while, maybe because she had something fun and didn't share it with her boyfriend in time, and she was a little embarrassed.
Li Ye smiled and said, "You play! I have something to say to Dayong, but you can only play for another hour! Your eyesight has started to decline recently, and your right eye is already 1.2, you must protect your eyes."
"How can I be 1.2, I'm just 1.5 and it looks a little blurry"
Wen Leyu muttered, but obviously she also took Li Ye's words to heart, otherwise she would not explain at all and was too lazy to pay attention to you.
"."
Li Ye and Li Dayong arrived at the east room and asked, "How was it, Dayong, after visiting Japan, what did you gain?"
"Brother, I didn't gain much, but I was very angry."
Li Dayong said with a chuckle, "You don't know the faces of those people. When we asked the price, they saw that I was from the mainland and asked for a sky-high price!
The same textile machine was sold to Nanyang people for 20,000, and to us for 50,000. How much do you think it was sold to the lighthouse people?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't need to guess, they just bully us because of our backward technology. You can only hold your anger."
"I won't hold it back," Li Dayong said, "Xiaohui and I bought a few samples in the name of Hong Kong Island Fenghua Company. In a few days, I will organize Changbei's technicians to dismantle it and study it out sooner or later."
After two technical breakthroughs, Li Dayong also gained confidence in Changbei's technical team. He felt that overseas machinery was nothing special, and everyone just had to catch up.
"Okay, we can set up a special research bonus. Don't be stingy with funds for technical research. Our mainland textile machinery market is huge, and you can earn back any money you invest."
Li Ye is familiar with history and knows that since the late 1980s, large textile enterprises in the mainland have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the market demand is astonishingly large.
Just a few decades later, every prefecture-level city basically has a large textile factory that can be named, and some can even be ranked in Asia!
When they first started to develop, textile machinery from Japan and South Korea accounted for a large share in the mainland, and was later squeezed out by mainland machinery.
Because of Professor Zhao's relationship, Changbei's technical team has connections with several mechanical research institutes in Beijing. As long as they are willing to invest, they can initiate technical research with mainland characteristics at any time, which is no worse than the overseas R&D team.
"By the way, brother, what should we do if Wang Qinshan bows to us?"
"Huh?"
Li Ye asked in surprise: "Wang Qinshan came to you?"
Li Dayong shook his head and said: "He didn't come to me directly, but asked an old employee in the factory to pass on a message to me, wanting to transfer."
In the 1980s and 1990s, many factory directors who ruined their factories would find ways to transfer, move to a new place and start over, and get up again after falling down, which was not shameful.
But Li Ye curled his lips and said: "Don't pay attention to him. He has to ask others to pass on a message to apologize. He has no sincerity at all."
Li Dayong nodded and said: "Then let him continue to pay off the debt. When the deficit is recovered, it will be settled."
... . . . . . . .
At noon, sister Li Yue took the time to send her sister-in-law Yang Yujiao over, and asked Fu Yiru and Wen Leyu to take her to the street to "let off some steam" later.
In Li Yue's words, Yang Yujiao is a "long-term worker who doesn't want money" and doesn't have the energy of a young girl.
Yang Yujiao spent the entire winter vacation in her mother Yang Huaihua's fast food restaurant, busy delivering meals and washing dishes. She didn't go to play with classmates or go to the movies. Li Yue felt that she was almost living like a middle-aged woman at a young age.
Li Ye understood Yang Yujiao's situation. The little girl had just arrived in Beijing from her hometown, and the school she was attending was full of local children. She couldn't even speak Mandarin well. She had no friends or playmates, so she could only stay at home and work, right?
"Sister, aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
"No, I have to go to Tianjin today! Send Yujiao home in the evening! I may be back very late."
Li Yue drove away in a hurry, and Yang Yujiao, who stayed behind, asked Li Ye shyly: "Brother Xiaoye, what are you going to eat for lunch today? I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it."
"I'm cooking today, no one is allowed to compete with me. You go and play with the sisters for a while. I will call you when you really need help."
Li Ye smiled and pushed Yang Yujiao into the main room and asked her to play with Fu Yiruo and others for a while.
Yang Yujiao was a little cautious at first, but after being pushed by her sisters to play with the red and white computer a few times, she soon forgot about cooking.
[For middle school students, this stuff really should be done in moderation. 】
Li Ye smiled and entered the kitchen.
After a while, Wen Leyu came in.
Xiao Nizi said while helping Li Ye wash the vegetables: "One of the gifts Xiaohui brought back from Ribun was for Yujiao. Yujiao was too embarrassed to ask for it, so I persuaded her to accept it."
Li Ye, who was slicing meat, said nonchalantly: "Well, we are all our own people, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. You, my sister-in-law, did the right thing."
If Yang Yujiao calls Li Yege, isn't Wen Leyu her sister-in-law?
"Keep talking nonsense and let others hear it."
Wen Leyu gave Li Ye a slap in the face, and then said: "I want to tell you that my own people will also have to settle the accounts.
We can't always take Xiaohui's things. Yujiao's share must also be counted as ours, and we must give others some gifts in return.
Don't be mad! Many relatives end up turning against each other because they always take advantage without thinking about it. "
Li Ye thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was how women thought.
It's okay for brothers to hang out and drink together for a few months, but between women, you can only flirt with someone three times at most, and the fourth time you'll get into trouble and you'll look down upon them.
So Li Ye said to Wen Leyu: "Go to the second drawer of my desk and get a key with a yellow string, and then go to the lower floors of the cabinet in the east wing to look around and pick out a small gadget to give as a gift. Just give it to Xiaohui.”
Wen Leyu blinked and asked: "Knickknacks? What are they? The return gift needs to be of equal value. You can't give someone a watermelon, and we can give them a sesame seed."
Li Ye smiled and said: "They are all jade pendants, small jewelry and the like. When I collected them, they cost dozens of yuan each. The value should have appreciated now. You can give them away as you see!"
Li Ye thought for a while, then smiled and said: "By the way, I will give one to Xiaoruo and Yujiao. No one wants it. My sister-in-law is also a sister-in-law. She must have the domineering spirit of a sister-in-law."
"I'll beat you up again! I haven't even passed the door yet!"
Wen Leyu rolled his eyes at Li Ye and turned back to the house.
Not long after, Li Ye heard the exclamations of Fu Yiruo and Pei Wenhui.
. . . . . . . . .
Wen Leyu opened the cabinets on several floors designated by Li Ye and found that they were all full of jade trinkets, red, green, yellow, and white, which were very beautiful.
"Here, one piece for each of you. It's your brother's New Year's gift to you."
Wen Leyu greeted generously, took out three small gadgets and handed them to Fu Yiruo, Pei Wenhui and Yang Yujiao.
Then she picked up another milky white pendant and looked at it.
This pendant must have been hung on the waist in the past. Not only does it look eye-catching, but when you hold it in your hand, the natural moisturizing effect makes people fall in love with it.
But Pei Wenhui next to her said, "Sister-in-law, I can't have this. This is jade! It's too precious."
"Don't be polite to me!" Wen Leyu said casually: "Your brother said, it's just some gadgets, one for each person, don't use it."
"This is no gadget,"
Pei Wenhui looked at a pendant in her hand and obviously liked it very much, but she still said truthfully: "Let me tell you this! During the Chinese New Year, a friend of my brother went to my house and gave him an jade ring, saying that the ring cost thousands of dollars." Very good, but the jade on the ring is not as good as this one!”
"It's so good?" Wen Leyu blinked and asked, "How good is that?"
Pei Wenhui thought about it and said, "I should be able to buy a room on Hong Kong Island! It must cost tens of thousands, and this one is much more expensive."
"."
Although Pei Wenhui also came from a poor background, in recent years, as her brother Pei Wencong has become successful, she has long been targeted as a "high-quality customer" by luxury goods merchants in Hong Kong.
In a place like Hong Kong Island, no luxury goods manager would miss Pei Wencong, an upstart with capital. All kinds of services are available. Pei Wenhui also works hard to learn some things, and his knowledge will naturally increase.
After hearing Pei Wenhui's words, Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.
Thanks to Fu Yiruo, Pei Wencong knew something about precious wood, but as for jade, she only knew how valuable it was, but she didn't have a deep understanding of how valuable it was.
Li Ye didn't understand it very well, so he didn't discuss it with her.
After listening to Pei Wenhui's words, Yang Yujiao immediately quietly put the mutton-fat jade back in her hand, and then took a few steps back, away from the pile of gadgets.
Only sister Fu Yiruo behaved normally. She not only happily played with a pair of earrings in her hand, but also stretched her neck to look carefully into the cabinet.
"This is good, this is good too. Oops, I will have to do more to please my sister-in-law from now on."
Fu Yiruo was very smart. Although she was Li Ye's biological sister, Wen Leyu would definitely not stop him from spending Li Ye's money, but to touch these things, his sister-in-law would have to nod.
. . . . . . . . .
Ten minutes later, Wen Leyu returned to the kitchen and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Xiao Ruo told me that each of those gadgets in your cabinet can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in Hong Kong Island. Is that right?" Really?"
"Why, you are reluctant to return the gift?"
Li Ye smiled and whispered in Wen Leyu's ear: "I have saved the good things for you a long time ago. There is a big safe behind the painting in the northwest corner of my bedroom. The password is your birthday."
Wen Leyu suddenly looked like the dragons in Western mythology who saw the shining treasures, and a glittering golden light instantly appeared in his eyes.
Women like all the beautiful things in the world, even if they are actually worthless. This is purely their nature.
Wen Leyu has no great interest in the millions or tens of millions of dollars in the bank account.
Even now facing the profit report of "Game of Thrones", Wen Leyu has no big emotional fluctuations.
But for those valuable and beautiful gadgets, she inevitably has a money-grubbing mentality that is difficult to give up.
This is also the reason why so many women collect some beautiful jewelry that cannot be eaten, drunk, or spent.
