Chapter 544 Liang Feng, who was fooled

Isn't this the little one from so-and-so's family?

What was his last name again?

This kid wasn't even wearing a helmet, just a cotton hat, and his little face was purple and bluish from the cold.

I definitely recognize the person, but I just can't remember their name.

Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Liang!

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year! What's your name again? I can't remember!"

"You must have a bad memory, my name is Yan Tao!"

"Yan Tao! Now you remember, this beautiful woman is your wife, isn't she?"

The young woman in the back seat grinned at Liang Liang: "Hello, Boss Liang!"

Is this still your ex-boyfriend?

"Yes! It's her. You helped me win her back with a song back then."

Liang Liang still vaguely remembered this incident, but couldn't quite recall the specifics.

"I remember you used to be a real troublemaker, and your wife would fight you over that. You're not still acting like this now, are you?"

"No, no! I'm a law-abiding citizen now."

A law-abiding person? I don't believe you for a second!

"Then what are you doing at my house?"

"Get to work!"

"Work? You and your wife are working in my house? Really?"

Yan Tao smiled.

"Brother! Brother Yan Tao is processing timber for our family."

Liang Liang was a little confused.

A small timber market was opened in Shannantou Township, which also processes timber.

Yan Tao initially worked there as a janitor. Last year, after seeing Liang Liang on the Spring Festival Gala, he remembered how the two of them first met.

He came to Liangshui Bay last summer.

He didn't see Liang Liang, but he did see Liang Liang's family's guitar factory.

Yan Tao suddenly seemed to have found a way to make money, so he talked to Liang Feng about his relationship with Liang Liang back then.

Liang Feng didn't know what was going on. He thought his older brother and this guy had a close relationship. Since the band saw workshop at home was a bit short of work, he gave some of the timber processing work to Yan Tao.

Yan Tao opened a band saw processing point in Guanghui Village, Shannantou Township, which is right next to Liangshuiwan Village, specializing in processing timber of various specifications for guitar factories.

Guanghui Village and Liangshuiwan Village are separated by only a small hill; they are not far apart.

Liang Feng unloaded the timber directly onto his band saw processing point.

He used his own tractor to transport the processed timber to the guitar factory, earning a processing fee.

"So you were just trying to fool my brother!"

Yan Tao just chuckled.

"Have you recouped your investment in this band saw factory yet?"

Opening a band saw house required an investment of tens of thousands of yuan, which was considered a large investment in rural areas in 1996.

"I started working a little late last year. I only started processing timber for you in July. In just over six months, I earned more than 5,000 yuan, but I was still short of my capital."

I earned more than 5,000 yuan in half a year, which is not bad.

"Good! Keep up the good work! The scale of the industry here will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and you will have more and more work. As long as you persevere, you will have a bright future. In the future, if you have the conditions, you can buy a set of drying equipment and build a drying plant. Your business will definitely be booming."

A large set of drying equipment costs over 100,000 yuan, and a good set costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.

If Yan Tao can get the job, he'll have plenty of work to do.

"It's probably not going to happen anytime soon. A basic drying system costs over 100,000 yuan, and a good one costs hundreds of thousands. We can't raise that much money."

Several hundred thousand is a small amount of money for Liang Liang.

"If you ever decide you want to quit, come find me. I'll lend you money. This is my phone number."

Liang Liang now has a mobile phone, the famous Ericsson GH337 that was released in mainland China in 1995.

Liang Liang bought more than a dozen of these phones, and gave one to each of his managers before the New Year.

Liang Feng also has one.

Yan Tao wrote down Liang Liang's phone number. With Liang Liang as his guarantor, his mind really started to wander.

Just then, the sound of suona horns drifted from afar, and a folk dance troupe sang and danced as they walked toward the guitar factory gate.

They came to the guitar factory to wish us a Happy New Year.

Liang Liang reached into his pocket and found red envelopes inside, but they were all ten or twenty yuan notes; these were meant to appease children.

Ten or twenty yuan certainly wouldn't be enough to get rid of the Yangko dance troupe.

This is not a difficult task.

Liang Liang emptied the small amount of money from the red envelope and put in two hundred-yuan bills.

Doesn't that solve the problem?

Seeing the Yangko dance reminded Liang Liang of Gao Xing.

Gao Xing came to his house to pay New Year's respects on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Liang Liang didn't return until dark on the first day, so they didn't meet.

I should go visit Gao Xing's family today.

The Yangko dance lasted for more than an hour in front of the guitar factory. During this time, two more stilt walking teams arrived, making the area in front of the guitar factory very lively.

One 200 yuan red envelope was clearly not enough, so Liangliang added two more red envelopes.

Yan Tao came to collect his second-quarter targets, to see how many cubic meters of timber he should process by the end of June.

After receiving the task number, I watched the Yangko dance for a while. Once the dance was over, I rode my motorcycle back home with my wife on the back.

Liang Liang glanced at the sky and went home for lunch.

After lunch, he took out his Tianjing Honda, which he hadn't ridden in a long time, grabbed a few gifts from home, and rode out the door.

As fate would have it, Xu Mei blocked his way as soon as he stepped out of his house.

"Brother Liang! Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Dabao Village!"

Liang Liang casually replied, but immediately regretted it, because he saw a glint of gold in Xu Mei's eyes.

Oh no! She'll definitely follow along like a tagalong.

"Take me with you! I was just thinking of going to take a look too."

really.

Isn't this like having no eggs and looking for an eggplant? Why don't you just say you're going somewhere else?

fool!

As soon as Xu Mei got into the car, she hugged Liang Liang tightly around the waist, not caring at all about the gaze of her mother standing in front of her house.

Xu Mei's mother was speechless for a moment. Why is your brat clinging to Liang Liang so tightly?

Liang Liang felt a little embarrassed. He nodded to Xu Mei's mother, stepped on the gas, and drove off in the northeast with Xu Mei in his arms.

"Didn't you see the look your mother gave you?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with her looking at me? It's pointless for her to look, my mom is so nice to me now."

Isn't that obvious? If he were Xu Mei's mother, he would treat his daughter just as well if she brought home 200,000 yuan a year.

"The safe will arrive tomorrow. You need to find a place to put it, but don't put it in the open; it's not good if it's too conspicuous."

It's definitely not a good thing for a rural family to have a safe at home.

Xu Mei didn't answer the question and rested her head on Liang Liang's back.

"Stay away from me!"

"It's cold! And it's windy!"

That way, you can deal with it with sheer numbers.

When Liang Liang arrived at Gao Xing's house, Gao Xing had just finished eating. In the morning, he and the Yinna River Band had attended the township government's post-holiday work ceremony.

Upon seeing Liang Liang and Xu Mei, he warmly invited them into the house.

The album "Harvest" by the Yinna River Band ultimately sold 740,000 copies.

Although there are still a few units available for sale, they are no longer enough to influence the overall situation.
