A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 97 The richest man
Early in the morning of New Year's Eve, Cao Zhihua's family started to get busy.

"Big Gouzi, Er Gouzi, Xiaoyu, hurry up, hurry up, bring two sets of clothes each. We will go to your sister-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year and stay there for a few days."

"Brother, do we need to bring our homework with us?"

"There's no need to bring it. I'll write it after I get back after the New Year. Just bring your toothbrush, towel and two sets of clothes."

The three little ones don't have to do homework. This is so happy. It means that the three of them can play as much as they want for a few days, and the elder brother and sister-in-law won't have to focus on homework every day.

The three little ones hurriedly packed their clothes. Cao Zhihua put the two suits and shirts that Chen Xueru had made for himself into his own box. He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and filled another box that he had prepared in advance with yellow croakers. It weighs about a hundred kilograms.

Just like that, Cao Zhihua came to the door with a box in each hand and waited for the three little ones to go out. Yan Fugui, the third door god, saw Cao Zhihua carrying two boxes and asked curiously:

"Zhihua, why are you going to pick up two boxes so early on the 31st this year?"

Cao Zhihua has now ignored these people in the courtyard. It is just a matter of personal self-cultivation, so Cao Zhihua still replied:
"Third uncle, this year our whole family will go to Ezi's house to celebrate the New Year. There are some gifts and a change of clothes in the box."

When the third uncle heard that Cao Zhihua and his family were going to Lou's house to celebrate the New Year, he was a little disappointed and said:
"Zhihua, do you want to change the couplet this year?"

When Cao Zhihua heard what the third uncle said, he thought about it and decided to give him an unforgettable memory, so he said:

"Third uncle, you see, I'm not prepared for this. How about you write it first and put it on for me, and when I come back, I'll bring something to polish it for you. What do you think?"

When the third uncle heard what Cao Zhihua said, his eyes were so happy that his eyes were almost closed. Although Cao Zhihua was not easy to deal with, he had never been stingy in his actions. He was like a big man, so he hurriedly said:
"Okay, Zhihua, this is no problem. The third uncle will replace it later. I guarantee your satisfaction."

After the third uncle finished speaking, Lou Xiaoe and the three little ones finally came out. Cao Zhihua then said:

"Okay, third uncle, that's what we agreed. I'll take Ezi and the others away first, and I'll find you when I come back."

"Okay, you go get busy first."

Cao Zhihua took his three little ones and Lou Xiaoe to pick up Chen Xueru and his son Chen Liang first.

Then a large group of people came to Lou's house. Lou Bancheng saw Cao Zhihua arriving and directly called Cao Zhihua to the study.

After Cao Zhihua and Lou Bancheng sat down, Cao Zhihua said:

"Dad, are you all ready?"

Lou Bancheng nodded:

"Everything is ready. There are two cars, one big and one small. We will set off at 8.30pm and get on the boat around 12pm."

There is no expressway now. It is more than 100 kilometers from Sijiu City to Tianjin. In the past life, there was an expressway and you could get there in less than two hours. Now, it takes three or four hours.

Fortunately, there are not many cars in China now, so there is no such thing as traffic jam.

Cao Zhihua felt relieved and said:

"Dad, I took two Type 59 pistols for self-defense at the steel rolling mill after get off work yesterday. I'll give you one." Cao Zhihua said, reaching into his pocket and taking out the pistol and handing it to Lou Bancheng.

Lou Bancheng gave Cao Zhihua a funny look and said:

"Zhihua, it's a good thing for you to be cautious, but there's really no need to do so. The ship owner and I have been friends for decades, and my family's belongings have been transferred through his ship recently. Don't worry."

Cao Zhihua said helplessly:
"It's not just for self-defense on the ship. Didn't Big Brother say that there is a lot of chaos in the harbor? You can also keep this gun for self-defense after going to port."

Lou Bancheng waved his hand and said:
"Zhihua, it's not that scary. We really don't need guns. Moreover, our driver Liu Xuanwu will also follow us there. He is the descendant of Wang Jinsheng, the Baji Master of Sijiu City, and the seventh generation successor of the authentic Bajiquan. At that time, I was just a flower He only succeeded in becoming a disciple after paying a huge price. Let me tell you, ordinary people cannot get into his body with dozens of people."

Cao Zhihua was a little surprised. Is it so exaggerated?I really didn't know that this tall and thin Brother Liu, who usually didn't talk much, was so powerful.So he asked:
"Dad, can you trust this person?"

"Of course I can trust him. He is the posthumous son of an old friend of mine. I took him in and raised him when he was a child. I raised him as my own son. When he grew up, I let him go out on his own. If he didn't want to, he stayed with me to help me. I drive, protect me.”

Cao Zhihua nodded,
"Just trust me. What I'm most worried about is your safety."

Lou Bancheng has always felt Cao Zhihua's filial piety over the years. No matter how difficult his situation is, Cao Zhihua's attitude towards him has never changed.

Lou Bancheng just didn't know that Cao Zhihua had traveled through time in later generations, and he didn't know what Cao Zhihua had in mind. Therefore, Lou Bancheng was closer to his son-in-law, whom he had watched since childhood, than to his own son.

"Zhihua, you don't have to worry too much. After we go to Hong Kong this time, you can just wait and see and have a good life."

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng strangely. Lou Bancheng didn't have such confidence before. Why hasn't he seen such a big change in a while? So he asked:
"Dad, what happened?"

Lou Bancheng nodded and said:

"I went to Hong Kong more than ten days earlier to transfer the last asset. I met and chatted with a foreign manager of HSBC for a long time. He told me that Hong Kong is a paradise for rich people. After our family arrived in Hong Kong, HSBC The bank will do its best to pave the way for us and help us enter the upper class society in Hong Kong."

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng curiously. With Lou Bancheng's ability, he wouldn't be a fool for others, so just believe it, right?So he asked:
"Does this foreign manager have great authority? What is his name?"

Lou Bancheng thought for a while and replied:

"This manager seems to be named Shen Bi. He should be very energetic. Didn't we discuss opening a newspaper last time? He helped me set up the company in half a day. He also promised that I can buy printing equipment and land from him when the time comes. .”

When Cao Zhihua heard the name Shen Bi, he knew it was reliable, but he didn't expect Lou Bancheng to get to know Shen Bi so early. Although HSBC is not yet the era of Shen Bi, this man's power in Hong Kong should not be underestimated now. of.

It seems that Lou Bancheng must have saved a lot of money at HSBC. Shen Bi is now considered a mid- to high-level executive at HSBC in Hong Kong.

Based on HSBC's status in Hong Kong and meeting an outsider in person, it can be seen that HSBC still attaches great importance to Lou Bancheng.So he asked:
"Dad, do you have a lot of savings in HSBC now?"

Lou Bancheng said proudly:
"Your father has not been idle these past few decades. Now he has almost 8000 million in HSBC, and there are about 2-3 million yellow croakers in the safe."

Cao Zhihua was dumbfounded and looked at Lou Bancheng with wide eyes. What else could he fight for?Lie down, okay?Do you know how much money Boss Fok, the apparently richest man in Hong Kong, earns?With just over 1000 million, he is the richest man.
