Chapter 735 Xu, Yue, Hao Yemou 4

If he had known earlier that there would be troublesome things like reducing the grain supply quota, Xu Fugui would definitely think carefully about whether he should be the steward of this courtyard house. He was even still doubting in his heart. When He Daqing used the residents of Courtyard No. 95 to force him to find jobs for his children, he had already learned about the upcoming reduction in grain supply quota. In order to avoid trouble, this bastard took the opportunity to resign from the position of steward. Even Li Botao and Fang Dahu were very likely to have been instigated and resigned at the same time.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. At this point, Xu Fugui could only accept it with a pinch of his nose. If he submitted his resignation to Director Wang of the neighborhood committee at this time, he would definitely be considered as evading responsibility by the other party. He would probably be put on the blacklist of the neighborhood committee and the street office in the future, and then he would basically have no chance to get close to Secretary Zhou of the street office.

After the whole meeting of the courtyard ended, Xu Fugui had been thinking about how to solve the problem in his mind. The reason why he invited Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo to his house for a drink was that he took into consideration that in the current situation, he could not be the only one racking his brains to think of ways to solve the problem. Since they were also the managers of Courtyard No. 95, they had to do their part. Otherwise, if he only tried to solve the problems for the residents, and let these two guys hide behind and reap the credit for nothing, Xu Fugui did not want to be a sucker.

Although based on his understanding of Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo over the years, Xu Fugui also knew that they really did not have much ability, otherwise they would not have been manipulated by Yi Zhonghai all the time.

As for the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui who were the stewards at that time, they were just decorations that Yi Zhonghai could manipulate at will.

Liu Haizhong is a complete fool, but he still wants to be an official. He has worked in the steel mill for so many years, but he has not even become a team leader or section chief. This is enough to prove his ability.

The position of the second uncle who is the manager of Courtyard No. 95 is the only "official position" that Liu Haizhong can boast of. Therefore, he attaches great importance to this second uncle who is the manager. As long as Yi Zhonghai gives this guy a few compliments, Liu Haizhong will immediately turn into a knife in Yi Zhonghai's hand and a reckless man who charges into battle.

As for the third uncle Yan Bugui, who is in charge, he is greedy by nature and loves to take advantage of small things. As long as Yi Zhonghai gives him some benefits, Yan Bugui will become a profit-seeking vampire.

It is said that a hero needs three helpers. Xu Fugui also wants to win over Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo to his side. Not to mention that they can become his obedient lackeys, but at least they have to follow his orders and never openly sing against him.

Of course, if he wants Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo to obey his command, he must let them get certain benefits. As for the benefits, they are nothing more than "fame" and "profit". Xu Fugui has already made plans in his mind.

So Xu Fugui coughed dryly. The greed he saw in the eyes of Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo just now gave him more confidence. As long as these two guys became greedy, then the following things would be a natural thing.

With Xu Fugui's dry cough, Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo, who were thinking about how to take advantage of the He family and the Fang family, were awakened. They looked at each other, and then raised their wine glasses at the same time, using the drink to cover up their embarrassment. Obviously, they also realized that they were so focused on taking advantage of the He family and the Fang family that they forgot about Xu Fugui who was sitting next to them.

Xu Fugui certainly would not let these two guys down, he smiled and said: "You two, now is not the best time to ask He Daqing and Fang Dahu for meat. The current priority is how to solve the problem of lack of food for each household in our courtyard. Only by helping the majority of the residents in the courtyard to solve this problem, the status of the three of us can be completely consolidated, and at the same time, our prestige can be greatly improved."

Xu Fugui paused for a moment, and after Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo nodded in approval, he continued, "If the three of us want to command the support of hundreds of people in Courtyard No. 95, we must have a very high prestige. If we want to completely suppress He Daqing and Fang Dahu, we also need the support of the vast majority of residents in the courtyard. Just showing a movie to the residents and giving them some melon seeds and peanuts are just small favors that will not have much effect at a time when the food supply is reduced."

Hao Aiguo picked up a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff before saying, "Lao Xu, we have known each other for a long time. If you have any good ideas, don't keep us in suspense. Now the three of us are in the same boat."

Xu Fugui said with a smug smile, "As word spreads about the reduction in food supply, food prices in the pigeon market will definitely skyrocket, and there will be a shortage of supply. After all, there weren't many people secretly selling food in the pigeon market. And given the temperaments of the residents in our courtyard, if they can't buy food in the pigeon market, they will definitely go to the black market in the middle of the night to look for food. But you should know the dangers of buying things in the black market. In addition to the official crackdowns from time to time, the most terrifying thing is that there are endless dangers such as black-eating-black and highway robbery."

Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo both nodded in agreement. They had all secretly gone to the black market before, and weren't they always nervous and cautious every time?

You should know that if you go to the black market to buy things and are caught by the police and patrol teams, at the very least your property will be confiscated and your unit will be notified for criticism and education. In serious cases, you may be directly sentenced.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter a robbery or highway robbery, you may lose both your life and your money.

It is precisely because going to the black market is too dangerous that people like them who have formal jobs are really unwilling to go to such places unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, even if the price of pork on the black market is close to two yuan per catty, with their monthly salary of forty or fifty yuan, they can afford to buy one or two catties occasionally.

However, now that the food supply quota has been reduced, many families may have to take the risk of going to the black market to find food. You should know that in the No. 95 courtyard, there are many families who do not have enough food at home even if the food supply quota has not been reduced, especially those with rural household registration.
