My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 700 Exchange
"The production base of Xinke Seaweed is too concentrated and the risk is too great. It is said that all eggs cannot be put in one basket. Therefore, I plan to build a branch factory in Sydney. Do you want to take over?"

"Branch? How much is the total investment?"

Ma Lingling hurriedly asked.

"At least ten billion."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Xu Dong showed a smile: "Shouldn't you think about it again?"

"No, I'm less than 30 years old this year, and I can take charge of such a large project, what's not to like?"

"Just figure it out, and accompany me to Mr. Ye's place tomorrow. You can talk about opening a branch by yourself."

Ma Lingling nodded: "Uncle, will Xinke Seaweed also stop working?"

"The situation over there is special, and I can't say well."

"If Xinke Seaweed stops working, the loss will be huge. If we want to restore it to the current scale, it will not be completed in a day or two."

Ma Lingling said anxiously.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, and we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Xu Dong sighed.

Xinke Seaweed was simply ill-fated, and it was hard to turn losses into profits by relying on external factors. Unexpectedly, all previous efforts were wasted in the end.

If it is serious, it is equivalent to going back to before liberation.

Seeing that her uncle was in a bad mood, Ma Lingling quickly changed the subject: "Old uncle, what do you plan to do with the supplies in the basement of our courtyard house?"

"Don't worry about this. I contacted District Chief Liao last night. He helped us get some train skins. All the supplies will be loaded on the yacht the day after tomorrow at the latest.

This matter is under the watchful eye of Captain Zhou and the others, and the operation started last night, so there shouldn't be any problems. "

Xu Dong replied.

Half of the materials in the courtyard had already been transported away, and there was not much left, mostly more than 200 tons of white sugar.

"What about Panjiayuan? I remember there are 800 more than [-] tons of canned food over there."

"Don't even think about it, I've donated all the cans to the city."

"Why donate?"

Ma Lingling felt distressed immediately, seeing her brother-in-law suffer a loss was more uncomfortable than losing money herself.

Xu Dong sighed: "How do you think those few sections of train skins came from? Without a nod from above, we can't transport so many supplies at all."

"Isn't that too bad?"

"Take a loss as a blessing. No matter what, the supplies in the basement have been kept. Otherwise, when the flood comes, no amount of supplies will be useless."

"Is the can waterproof?"

"What about waterproofing? At that time, it will be confiscated directly from you. Uncle, this is called abandoning the pawn to protect the commander."

"Tch, it should be 'abandoning the handsome and protecting the pawn'."

Xu Dong hammered his thigh: "You're right, do you have a lot of luggage? If you have a lot, remember to tell Captain Zhou later, and let them help you move there together."

"Our family doesn't have a lot of luggage, and the most is canned food. My mother-in-law uses it a bit hard, and now there are almost half of it left."

"Don't be too frugal, tell my uncle when you run out, he still has a lot of canned food in Sydney."

"Really? Thank you, uncle."

Ma Lingling immediately felt relieved.

Xu Dong wanted to reach out and rub his eldest niece's head.

It can be stretched halfway, and then suddenly put down again.

The other party is already a mother, and some actions are out of date.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Dong came to Director Li's house on time. Uncle Li invited him, so he had to show face.

"Old Xu, Xu Dong, long time no see."

Director Li seemed very enthusiastic.

"It's only been a year, Uncle Li, you're still going strong!"

"It's not as good as you, the younger you live."

"Haha, doesn't that sound like something that came out of your old mouth?"

Xu Dong has heard too many flattering words like this.

Even Lele often talks about it.

Director Li shook his head: "At this moment, at that moment, even I look up to you now."

"Too serious, you will always be my uncle."

Xu Dongyu said earnestly.

Director Li smiled gratifiedly, and then called his son to him:
"Say hello to your Uncle Xu."

"Hello Uncle Xu!"

Xu Dong reached out and touched little Li Tao's bald head:
"Uncle brought you a gift, do you want it?"

Little Li Tao nodded repeatedly.

Every time Uncle Xu came to their house, he would bring him delicious food, without exception.

Xu Dong handed the bag to Li Tao, and then sat down at the table with Chief Li.

The little guy exclaimed from behind.

Director Li picked up the moss wine on the table:

"30 years of thatch moss, would you like some?"

Xu Dong nodded: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't drink too much, let's just have two glasses!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Director Li finished speaking, he unscrewed the bottle cap.

Aunt Li came over with a plate of roasted chicken with potatoes.

Xu Dong hurriedly reached out to take it: "Auntie, these dishes are already rich enough, there is no need to make them, it will be a waste if you can't finish them."

"The conditions at home are limited, just don't dislike it!"

Aunt Li said shyly.

The past few months since the beginning of the year seem to have returned to the long and difficult period ten years ago. If it wasn't for the canned food at home, she couldn't even get a table of decent meals.

Speaking of which, the canned food also came from the person in front of me.

"It's already pretty good." Xu Dong pulled aside a chair beside him, "Auntie, why don't you sit down and have something to eat together?"

"No, there is still a pot of soup in the kitchen, you can eat first!"

Aunt Li waved her hand, turned and went back to the kitchen.

As for Xiao Li Tao, watching TV in the living room while eating snacks, let alone how comfortable it is.

Director Li picked up his wine glass: "Old Xu, let's touch one first."

"boom……"

Xu Dong took a sip of his wine lightly.

Director Li did it in one gulp.

"Uncle Li, what is the relationship between the two of us? It's really unnecessary. Just do whatever you want."

"It's okay, tomorrow is Sunday, I have half a day off."

"Only half a day off? Uncle Li, if you want me to tell you, you might as well retire early and come with me to Sydney to enjoy the blessings. The climate there is much better than Yanjing."

Xu Dong took the opportunity to persuade.

Director Li shook his head: "Don't try to persuade me. You know what kind of character I am. If I want to retire, I did so ten years ago."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children, right?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago. Today's meal has no other purpose, but to thank you in advance, your aunt and Li Tao. I'll leave it to you."

Xu Dong took a piece of potato and put it in his mouth: "Uncle Li, why do you sound so awkward? It seems to be following Yi..."

"The will, right?"

"Cough, it does look a bit like it." Xu Dong nodded.

"Then just take it as your last words. I'm already at this age. Maybe I'll belch someday. Don't shy away from it."

Director Li sighed.

Xu Dong immediately said seriously: "Uncle Li, I will give you a promise now, Auntie and Li Tao, I, Xu Dong, will be responsible to the end. I said this ten years ago, and it still remains the same."

"Okay, Uncle is right."

Uncle Li drank another glass of wine excitedly.

It was too late for Xu Dong to stop.
