I still have a weekend to work!

Lin Chaoyang guessed her thoughts and joked: "With Xiwen and Xiwu here, what can you say?"

Tao Yumo said without confidence: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I have four children to look after by myself."

"Really? That's really hard work!" Lin Chaoyang joked and asked Tao Xiwen, who was standing at the door, "How much does your sister-in-law pay you two brothers a day?"

Tao Yumo immediately glared at Tao Xiwen, who was too hesitant to speak.

He finally found an opportunity to do "work-study" during the winter vacation, and he cherished it very much.

"Have you thought about it? My uncle plans to take you to Maxim for a big dinner during the Chinese New Year!"

Maxim Western Restaurant, a Western restaurant with a per capita consumption of more than 100 yuan in the 1980s.

Lin Chaoyang's conditions were very tempting. Tao Yumo instinctively had no confidence in his eldest nephew. He was about to give him a wink to tell him to withstand the enemy's sugar-coated bullets, but it was too late.

"Fifty cents!"

Lin Chaoyang chuckled and said to Tao Yumo: "Fifty cents? You are too evil. Is this considered child labor?"

"Why are you hiring child laborers? They are part of a work-study program." Tao Yumo said vehemently, and then gave his eldest nephew a fierce look.

"Brother-in-law, you've been on a plane all day, are you tired? Sit down and have a rest. I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Tao Yumo changed his arrogant attitude and became attentive.

She is not afraid of her brother-in-law, but she is afraid that her brother-in-law will complain to her sister.

After the joke, Lin Chaoyang asked: "Where is Adi?"

When Tao Yumo returned to Yanjing, Tao Yushu specially asked the nanny Adi to come back with her to take care of the two children.

"I went to buy groceries. I'll probably be back soon!'

Not long after the two of them finished talking, Adi came back from shopping for groceries. After eating, the snow outside stopped.

The next day, Lin Chaoyang planned to go to his parents' place to meet the Tao family, but Lin Erchun came first.

When he saw Lin Chaoyang coming back alone, he asked curiously: "Where is the jade book?"

Lin Chaoyang then told Tao Yushu about attending the West Berlin Film Festival. Lin Erchun looked complicated for some reason after hearing this.

"Yushu has worked hard for this family!"

Comrade Erchun sighed unconsciously when he said this, as if he was silently complaining about his son's hard work.

"It's hard for me to write."

Lin Chaoyang's words did not arouse the sympathy of Comrade Erchun. Instead, he looked disgusted, "You have worked hard? I would still believe you if you tightened the point on your chin!"

Lin Chaoyang subconsciously touched his chin. He wasn't fat at all. He even had a jawline.

Lin Erchun didn't know that Lin Chaoyang was back. He came to Xiaoliubukou Hutong to see his grandson and granddaughter.

The child couldn't sit still and said a few words to his grandfather, and then both children ran away to play.

"I heard from Yu Mo that your business in Xiangjiang is quite big. What other companies have you acquired?"

"Yeah. I bought a company to make it bigger and stronger."

"Otherwise, you have to be a college student. Look at you, after graduating from junior high school, you can do nothing but write books."

Um?

Lin Chaoyang was caught off guard by his father's disdain. That's not what you said a few years ago!

"Our family is really blessed to have a daughter-in-law like Yushu!"

That's almost it, I am your son after all!

After understanding Lin Chaoyang's eyes, Comrade Erchun finally stopped talking.

Lin Chaoyang changed the topic to his big business of house leasing. When talking about this topic, Lin Erchun talked eloquently.

In a flash, he has been doing this business for three years, and he has collected nearly 30 courtyard houses in his hands. These courtyard houses are spread all over the four-nine cities, with different sizes and construction years.

If it is placed in future generations, it will be a huge wealth.

Lin Chaoyang really wanted to say to Comrade Erchun, in fact, you are the most profitable one in our family.

In addition to nearly 30 complete courtyard houses, Lin Erchun also owns nearly a hundred bungalows, most of which are located in large courtyards outside the city.

These days, most of the houses are public houses, there are not many private houses, and there are even fewer transactions.

Lin Erchun has been trying hard to acquire houses in the past three years, but he has only saved so many houses.

"What you said just now is right, make it bigger and stronger. I find that the more houses there are, as long as they are well managed, some things will be less troublesome..."

Lin Erchun couldn't help but get excited when he talked about business. This excitement was partly because of the money he made, and partly because he felt that he was always useful and had become a residual talent in the world of Yanjing.

"At least I can make this amount this year——"

Lin Erchun made a gesture towards Lin Chaoyang, and a thumb was missing from his slap: 40,000 yuan.

When he talked about it, he couldn't help but sigh. After working hard in the countryside all his life, he never expected to become a capitalist in Yanjing.

"Dad, 'capitalist' is not popular anymore, we have to call ourselves entrepreneurs."

Lin Erchun is very clear about his position, "What kind of entrepreneur is he? He is just a rent collector."

He added: "Don't tell me, I found that you are not good at work, but you have good taste. Not only can you marry a wife as good as Yushu, but you are also very accurate in reading the market."

"What do you mean?"

"House prices in Yanjing have risen again!"

At this stage, although commercial housing pilot projects have been launched in China, essentially there is no real estate market yet, and welfare housing is still the main source of housing for urban residents.

Lin Erchun said that housing prices in Yanjing have risen again, not from a macro perspective, but from the private housing transactions he has experienced.

Compared with three years ago, private housing transaction prices in Yanjing have increased significantly.

"In the past, how much did a courtyard near the Second Ring Road cost? The cheap one was 3,000 yuan, and the expensive one was 4,000 yuan. It was enough for anything.

Now, if you pay less than five thousand yuan, no one will even look at you.

Throat, according to this method of growth, when will it be the first time?"

In the era when commercial housing was not so popular, the growth of housing prices was the real indicator of marketization. On the contrary, it was the form of later generations where the government provided land and developers operated -

“No matter how high the price increases, in the final analysis there is a market because there are people who need houses.

The people have no money, their wages are low, and the number of private houses is still small, but housing prices are still rising, which shows that housing conditions have not only not improved, but are further deteriorating."

Lin Erchun nodded and gave Lin Chaoyang a rare compliment, "Okay, it's not in vain that I have been taught by Yushu. This knowledge is better than mine."

I thank you!

The next day, Lin Chaoyang planned to go to the mall to buy some new year goods.

There had just been a heavy snowfall and the roads were not easy to drive. When we arrived at the mall, even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Chaoyang still retreated when he saw the thick crowd.

The dual-track system is running in parallel, the economy is overheating, and money is being issued excessively. Since this year, ordinary people have clearly felt the pressure of inflation.

It’s the New Year’s Eve again, and the rush to buy products is naturally more intense than in previous years.

Lin Chaoyang knows that the current rush to buy is already the mildest in the next few years.

He thought for a moment, and instead of wandering around in the mall, he went to the Friendship Store and the Overseas Chinese Store to do some shopping, loaded the car with everything, and then drove to Yanda.

When he arrived at the downstairs of Langrun Lake Apartment, he opened the trunk, carried the things upstairs with his left hand and right hand.

When they met Tao's father and Tao's mother, the two old men couldn't help but ask about Tao Yushu. When they heard that their daughter was now abroad, Tao's mother couldn't help but complain.

"I don't care about anything just to make money. I don't care about my children. I won't go home during the Chinese New Year————"

"Okay! Just come back later, it's not like I won't come back."

Father Tao interrupted her and asked Lin Chaoyang: "Xiwen, how is Xiwu doing at your place?"

"It's good. Now I'm older and sensible, and I know how to look after my younger brothers and sisters."

Tao's mother smiled happily, "It's better than his father's when he was a child. His father knew how to bully his younger brothers and sisters when he was a child."

The uncle who was not present was shot in the knee by an arrow, and Tao's father then became concerned about Lin Chaoyang and his wife's experience in Xiangjiang in the past few months.

After having dinner at Tao's house at noon, he went to the Overseas Chinese Apartment and had a meal with his parents in the evening.

The Spring Festival passed by suddenly, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Du's house for dinner. Lin Chaoyang met Du Feng. He had gained weight again compared to the last time they met.

Lin Chaoyang knew that this was probably the result of drinking and socializing, so he advised: "Take it easy, money is not earned in a day, don't ruin your body."

"It's okay. The main thing is that I eat so well and go out to restaurants every day."

Du Feng didn't care much.

In the 1980s, people did not yet think of thinness as beauty. Instead, wealth and abundance were symbols of a prosperous life.

Du Feng excitedly pulled Lin Chaoyang and talked about the clothing city.

Yanjing Asia-Europe Garment City's development momentum in the first year was good, which gave him great confidence. Last year, he invested heavily in replicating two clothing cities in Shanghai and Shijiazhuang.

The model is almost the same as that in Yanjing. The difference is that the style in Shanghai is higher. Du Feng rented a store of nearly 5,000 square meters on Nanjing Road and invested nearly 3 million yuan.
