"Here, cheers." The third sister raised the cup first.

The cups used by Mom and Fangyuan are different from the cups used by Master. Fangyuan and Master use enamel jars, while Mom and others use crystal cups.

Of course, Fangyuan brought this crystal cup back from abroad, specifically for drinking red wine.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Fangyuan and the master were still drinking. At this time, the little girl became sleepy.

Needless to say, this girl must have been quite crazy today, otherwise she wouldn't have felt sleepy just after eating.

Of course, when I say I just finished eating, I am talking about the little girl, because everyone except her is still eating!

"Master, Mom, you eat first, and I'll put her on the bed." After the eldest sister finished speaking, she stood up and took the little girl away.

After eating, my mother and eldest sister cleaned up, and Fangyuan helped Master go back to the room to rest. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it is expected to be very busy, so I need to go to bed early.

There was no talking all night. The next morning, Fangyuan had something to eat and drove out. He had no choice because he hadn't gone to Lao Cao's house yet.

You must know that these old Cao has helped him a lot. If he is not at home, forget it, but now that he is at home, he must go to Lao Cao's house.

For Fangyuan's sake, Fangyuan didn't drive a Lincoln, but a Jeep. This thing is convenient for loading things, and the car is parked outside.

For God's sake, it hasn't snowed for half a month. Although there is still a thick layer of snow in other places, there is no snow on the road.

Forty minutes later, Fangyuan parked the car in front of Lao Cao's house. Fangyuan did not get out of the car, but honked the horn.

Sure enough, the door opened soon and Lao Cao came out of the yard.

"I thought you stopped coming a year ago?" Lao Cao said as he walked away.

"How is that possible? I originally planned to come here last night, but it was too late, so I came here early this morning." Fang Yuan said.

"Let's go in."

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Wait a minute, take the things in first."

When he heard Fangyuan talking about taking things, Lao Cao said, "Come here, why are you taking things?"

Although Lao Cao said this, he was still very happy in his heart.

He didn't care what Fangyuan brought over, what he wanted was this noodles. As the saying goes, sending goose feathers as a gift from a thousand miles is too light to be appreciated.

Although Fangyuan is not thousands of miles away, it shows that Fangyuan has him in his heart, which is enough. With Lao Cao's current net worth, he really doesn't care what Fangyuan sends.

"As you said, I can't come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year!" Fangyuan opened the back of the jeep as he spoke.

Although he knew that Fangyuan was generous, when he saw the things loaded on the back of the jeep, Lao Cao was still surprised and said: "So much!"

"It's not much, and the back seat is reserved for Mr. Ma."

Even so, there are a lot of things, including two boxes of Maotai, a whole pig sitting on a plate, rice noodles, peanuts and melon seed snacks, etc.

And it can also be seen from this that the distance between people is close. Although there is Maotai liquor for Mr. Ma, there is only one box, and the other things are much less than those for Lao Cao.

This is normal. Although Fangyuan and Ma Ye are said to be cooperating, it is just cooperation and cannot be compared with Lao Cao's relationship.

Because he and Lao Cao are friends, and he and Ma Ye are just partners, not friends.

It took the two of them several trips to move these things in, and when moving in, Lao Cao specially moved some of them into the back room.

Seeing Lao Cao like this, Fangyuan still doesn't understand what he means. He is probably planning to call Mr. Ma over later.

In that case, he was afraid of what Master Ma would say, and even if he didn't say it in person, he would feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Fangyuan didn't think so much, and he wasn't afraid of others saying this.

Whatever Fangyuan does, as long as he has a clear conscience, he really doesn't care about anything else.

"Fang Yuan, you take a rest for a while. I'll call Master Ma. Don't leave at noon. Let's have something to drink."

"Forget it, I'll drive. Besides, today is New Year's Eve and I have to go back later."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao didn't insist anymore, but he still went to call Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma comes back every year during the Chinese New Year. In previous years, he came back with his wife, but this year he was alone.

There is a reason why Mr. Ma comes back every New Year. To put it bluntly, it is some exchange of courtesy. A person with status and status like him takes this very seriously.

"Fang Yuan, come and drink tea." Lao Cao's wife placed a cup of brewed tea in front of Fan Yuan.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome, you sit down first and I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."

"You're busy, so don't worry about me. Isn't it just like coming here?"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao's wife smiled and said, "That's right, it was me who was verbose."

Then Lao Cao's wife went to the kitchen, and Fangyuan was the only one left in the main room and living room. He didn't have any restraint.

As he said himself, coming to Lao Cao is like returning to his own home.

Seven or eight minutes later, Lao Cao came back, followed by Mr. Ma.

"Oh! Master Fang, long time no see." This was the first thing Mr. Ma said when he saw Fang Yuan.

To be honest, Fangyuan didn't understand why people like Mr. Ma and others kept talking about him.

"Master Ma, long time no see. How are you? Your body is still strong?"

"Don't worry, you won't die for the time being."

"This is so unlucky for the Chinese New Year." Fang Yuan shook his head.

"Bah, bah, bah!" After Ma Ye finished, he gave himself a mouth and said, "I said the wrong thing."

"Okay, sit down quickly." Lao Cao pulled over a chair and handed it to Mr. Ma.

When Mr. Ma sat down, Lao Cao poured him a cup of tea and sat down as well.

"Fang Yuan, now that reform and opening up are underway, aren't you going to do something?" Mr. Ma asked after taking a sip of tea.

"What, do you have an idea?"

"I have some ideas." Mr. Ma nodded and said.

"Oh! What do you think? Tell me."

"It's like this. Although the reform and opening up have been implemented, the imperial capital is still short of food, and you need food stamps to buy food. I was wondering, can we transport the food to the imperial capital and sell it?"

Hearing what Mr. Ma said, Fangyuan looked at him in surprise. In fact, Fangyuan had already thought about it, but he just hadn't said it yet.

Of course, he was not thinking about transporting grain to the imperial capital to sell, but he was thinking about building a flour mill in the northeast, producing flour and then moving to the imperial capital to sell it.

In this way, profits can be maximized. Although it is possible to transport food, it is just a price difference.

"Master Ma, you and I have thought of this together." Fang Yuan looked at Master Ma with a smile and said.

"Oh! Do you think so?" Mr. Ma asked with his eyes shining.

"That's right! But what I want to do is not sell grain, but sell flour."

"Selling flour?"

"Yes, look! When we transport grain to the imperial capital, we can only sell it to processing plants. The flour produced by the processing plants is then sold to the people. In this case, why don't we process it directly?"

"Ah! I really haven't thought about this." Mr. Ma scratched his head and said.

"I never thought about it, but now I have to think about it. There is food in the Northeast. If we build a flour mill there, at least there will be no shortage of raw materials."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Master Ma nodded and said, "That's true."

"And we can also develop downstream industries, such as feed mills. Now that we have reformed and opened up, people will be allowed to raise pigs. If we build a feed mill, we can not only make money, but also solve the bran problem."

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Mr. Ma said, patting his head.

The words of the two people made Lao Cao confused. This did not mean that he did not understand what Fangyuan and Ma Ye meant. He did not understand that selling food was not a bad thing! Why bother?

"I said Fangyuan, Mr. Ma, why do you have to go to all this trouble? You can make a lot of money by selling the grain directly!" Lao Cao said at this time.

Lao Cao has tasted the benefits in recent years. Although he only has 4% of the shares, it has brought him an income of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in these years.

Fangyuan glanced at Lao Cao and asked, "I don't care if it's troublesome for now, you can tell me whether you want to do it or not?"

"Uh!" Hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Fuck, I'll do whatever you guys do anyway."

Fangyuan shook his head, and was really speechless. To put it bluntly, Lao Cao was lucky enough to meet Fangyuan, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to him.

"Master Ma, let's find someone to make a plan first and see how much money is needed. We will talk about investment later."

"Okay, I'll find someone to go after the Chinese New Year."

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded, then looked at Lao Cao and asked, "How many shares do you plan to hold this time? Or four percent?"

"Four percent? That's not possible. You have to give me 20 percent no matter what. Don't worry, money is not an issue."

Fangyuan gave Lao Cao a roll of his eyes, but I have to say that Lao Cao is a smart guy.

Seeing that Fangyuan was really going to do something, I dared to invest.

Fangyuan discussed some details with Mr. Ma, and then left.

Of course, Fangyuan moved the gifts prepared for Mr. Ma and placed them in Lao Cao's yard. He later asked Lao Cao to take them back for him.

After coming out of Lao Cao's house, Fangyuan drove back. Today is New Year's Eve, a time for reunion, and of course Fangyuan wants to have dinner with his family.

You must know that he can't stay at home for many days a year, and he must not be absent during the Chinese New Year.

Fangyuan came back relatively early. When she got home, it was less than ten o'clock, and her mother and eldest sister were already busy in the kitchen.

Of course, it was lunch during busy work. As for the third sister, she was eating melon seeds and watching TV with the little girl in the main room.

Then there was the master. The master didn’t eat melon seeds, but he drank tea and watched TV. To be honest, Fangyuan didn’t understand why the master was so addicted to TV.

"Mom, I'm back." Fangyuan came to the kitchen first and said to her mother.

"Well! Let's go to the main room and watch TV! There's a lot of fumes in the kitchen."...
