Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 142 Company Status

At the dinner table, everyone ate while listening to Li Ping'an telling about what he saw and heard during his trip.

Yu Li was relieved to hear that everything was fine at home. What she was most worried about when she came here was her parents at home.

Lou Zhenghua also listened carefully to Li Ping'an's return process. It seems that this return trip has indeed gained a lot.

After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room for a while. Knowing that Li Pingan did not get enough rest on the boat this time, he went back to rest early.

Li Pingan missed his two beautiful wives terribly after not seeing them for more than half a month.

Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e missed Li Ping'an every day, so Li Ping'an was destined not to have a good rest that night.

Hugging Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e who were already asleep on both sides, Li Ping'an finally fell asleep peacefully.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon and Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were gone.

After wandering for so long, he finally had a good night's sleep. Li Pingan also got up refreshed.

He doesn't have to go to the company today, so he can have a good rest at home.

Now the company has Lou Zhenghua in charge, and Lu Dehua's Dafei Gang is there to protect it. It can be said that his Ping An Shipping Company is developing very steadily.

Seeing Li Pingan coming down, Yu Li came over and said, "Pingan, why don't you sleep a little longer? You've been working hard during this period."

Li Pingan kissed Yu Li and said, "I can't sleep without you around. I'll get up and check on the child."

Since coming to Hong Kong, Yu Li has gradually accepted some of the open-minded ideas here, and has also gotten used to Li Ping'an's sometimes intimate actions in public.

"Are you hungry? I'll make you something delicious."

Li Pingan nodded. He was indeed a little hungry. It was because he had exercised a lot last night. And it was double the amount of exercise.

Sitting in the restaurant eating a delicious breakfast and watching four children running around on the lawn outside, Li Pingan felt inexplicably relaxed.

Today, Li Pingan stayed at home with Yu Li, Lou Xiaoe, and several other children for a day, enjoying a wonderful day.

After dinner, Li Ping'an took the file bag given to him by Luo Yongpeng and went to Lou Zhenghua's study.

"Dad, this was given to me by Luo Yongpeng. He asked me to hand it to you personally."

Lou Zhenghua took the file bag, looked at it, and opened it in front of Li Pingan.

Inside were several printed documents and an envelope.

Lou Zhenghua looked at the document carefully, then opened the envelope and took a look.

After thinking about it, he pushed these in front of Li Pingan.

"Take a look at this, these are some of the things that are most needed in the country right now. Here is the list. It means that we will prioritize collecting the things on the list. They are very much needed in the country right now."

Li Ping'an also looked at the letter and the list.

Judging from the above content, everything is scarce in China now.

Not to mention the food and other supplies we need now, even the industrial sector is very weak.

There is everything from large machines to some small tools.

After looking at it carefully, Li Pingan put the document back on the table.

"Dad, what are your plans?"

Lou Zhenghua said: "For now, let's collect food first, and then find someone to collect the things on the list. This is a long-term task, and there is no need to rush. Let's do it step by step."

Li Pingan nodded in agreement. He also had his own ideas that he hadn't yet implemented.

Then the two chatted in the study for a while and then went back to rest.

The next day, Li Ping'an went to the Dafei Gang.

When they arrived at Dafei Gang, Dafei and Lu Dehua were also very happy to see Li Pingan.

The two men took Li Ping'an into the office, and Da Fei introduced to Li Ping'an the development of the Da Fei Gang during this period.

It can be said that since Lu Dehua came to the Dafei Gang, the Dafei Gang has developed very rapidly.

It turns out that there are several small gangs here in the port, which are strongholds stationed by some foreign forces here.

Although they don't have as many people as the Dafei Gang, they are well-armed and their members are all tough. The Dafei Gang really had no good way to deal with them before.

There were several conflicts between the two factions. The Dafei Gang did not gain much advantage. Later, they gradually developed independently without interfering with each other.

However, during a conflict, Lu Dehua performed a magical operation of catching a bullet with his bare hands, which boosted the morale of the Dafei Gang, and everyone regarded Lu Dehua as a magical idol.

The members of those small gangs were so frightened that they no longer dared to resist.

This allowed the Dafei Gang to quickly sweep away all the surrounding small gangs and take over the entire port.

This also made the Da Fei Gang famous in the area, and many people scrambled to join the Da Fei Gang.

The Dafei Gang also took the opportunity to absorb many gang members and selected a group of people to join the elite group trained by Lu Dehua.

Now the number of carefully trained members of the Dafei Gang has increased to more than one hundred.

Including other minions, the number of people has exceeded five hundred.

After hearing this, Li Pingan said to Da Fei and Lu Dehua, "Da Fei already has enough people, and that's enough for us for now. There's no need to add any more people."

"What we need are elite backbones. We will vigorously train our own members in the future. We will first slowly digest the existing territory."

"Once we have digested and developed the existing territory, we will slowly expand to the surrounding areas."

Da Fei and Lu Dehua nodded after hearing this.

Da Fei said to Li Pingan, "Brother Pingan is right. We think the same way. Once we have trained more than a hundred elites, the whole of Hong Kong will belong to us. Apart from the army of Kitty Hawk, we will not be afraid of anyone in Hong Kong."

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Da Fei, if you have the means, bring back more guns and weapons for storage. If there is a large-scale conflict in the future, we will have the strength to fight back."

Dafei agreed readily.

Then he said hesitantly, "Brother, we have been developing very fast recently, and this has attracted the attention of Inspector Lu behind me. He sent someone to notify me to meet him. We are both worried about this. How should we tell him?"

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "We are still developing, so it is not appropriate to fall out with him. We also need his support."

"How about this, I'll go meet him tonight and listen to what he has to say. If he knows what's best for him, we'll continue to cooperate with him. If he doesn't cooperate, then we'll just have to find another inspector."

"There must be many people who want to replace him, and there must be one who is obedient!"

Seeing Li Ping'an saying such domineering words in such a casual way, Da Fei was once again glad for his choice.

If I had not agreed at the beginning, I guess someone else would be managing the Dafei Gang here now.

Everything was settled, and Li Ping'an left the Dafei Gang.

He drove to the headquarters of Ping An Shipping Company.

This place is not far from the port and is a five-story building.

It was originally controlled by the Dafei Gang and rented out to several companies. Now it has been taken back and used as the headquarters of Ping An Shipping Company.

The current Ping An Shipping Company is still in the development stage, and even one-fifth of this office building is not used. So when Li Ping An came in, everything seemed empty.

The first floor is the reception and the canteen. Everyone eats here at noon.

The second floor is where some business is handled, and it is also the core of the company.

The third floor is where some small leaders and supervisors have their offices. There are still very few of them now.

Currently, only Lou Zhenghua and Li Pingan are working on the fourth floor.

The fifth floor is a large conference room, which is only used for meetings.

Li Pingan came to his office.

Although he doesn't come here often and has been out for such a long time this time, there are special people who come to clean his office every day.

So now it’s clean inside.

After sitting for a while, I went to Lou Zhenghua's office to chat.

At noon, Li Ping'an followed Lou Zhenghua to the company's cafeteria to try the company's lunch.

Although the company has a small number of employees, everyone is in good spirits. Everyone is full of energy. It seems that everyone is very optimistic about the future development of their company.

Today's work lunch was also pretty good, with fish, chicken, and vegetables and fruits that are relatively scarce in Hong Kong nowadays.

Every employee ate with gusto.

While eating, Lou Zhenghua said, "Ping An, you have to remember. These people are creating benefits for us. Let them eat well and have no worries. Only then can they work for us wholeheartedly. In the future, you must not mistreat those who can create benefits for you. Without them, there will be no company for us."

Li Pingan listened, nodded and said, "I'll remember it, Dad. I will pay attention to this aspect in the future."

Seeing Li Ping'an listening attentively, Lou Zhenghua nodded with satisfaction.

He has now begun to slowly train Li Pingan to take over. So far, Li Pingan's performance has made him very satisfied.

Since coming to Hong Kong, Lou Zhenghua's fighting spirit has resurfaced.

He is not yet fifty, which is the time when he can do great things. He hopes that he can have a place in Hong Kong in the future.

And Li Ping'an is his future successor. When he is old, he hopes that Li Ping'an can continue to develop this business.

After dinner, Li Pingan returned to his office to rest.

In the afternoon he went to various docks to check on his own boats.

Now most of the ships are already operating outside, and only a small number of ships have returned to the dock for repairs.

Seeing that the company was running smoothly, Li Pingan also felt that Lou Zhenghua, his father-in-law, was indeed from a business family. As long as he was given a chance, he would be able to grasp it well.

He returned to the office and told Lou Zhenghua that he had something to do tonight and would be home late, so that Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe didn't have to worry.

Yes, he would go to meet that Inspector Lu in the evening to see his attitude.
