After listening to Ruan Ruan's explanation and seeing the drawings she made, the three of them were able to understand.

"Sister-in-law, you said this is an office building. Did you receive some news?" Chen Liang didn't believe it. Ruan Ruan wouldn't build an office building for no reason. Even if she wanted to work, didn't her factories all have office areas?

"Brother Liang is still as perceptive as ever, which is why I wanted to see you all today." Ruan Ruan didn't expect that Chen Liang could guess the other things just from her one action. Could this be the reason for joining the army?

"Come, let's sit down and have some tea while we talk."

The four sat back down at the tea table, and Zheng Xuyang took the teapot and poured a cup for each of them.

After taking a sip of tea, Ruan Ruan slowly said, "I think Liu Gang has already seen that the policies in Beijing are loosening, and he must have encountered quite a few people secretly selling things."

Instead of answering Chen Liang's question directly, Ruan Ruan first asked Liu Gang, who, as a Beijing native who was always traveling, must have met far more people than she had.

Liu Gang didn't understand why Ruan Ruan would ask him this question at this time, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the policy has begun to loosen. Now when I pass by the alley on my way home, I can occasionally encounter people carrying baskets and secretly selling things."

"That's it. The policies from above have loosened now, which is a signal that the economy might be opened up soon. When that time comes, anyone with ideas and some ability will choose to go into business. At that time, the educated youth who went to the countryside will choose to return to the city, and more farmers will choose to go to the city to look for business opportunities in order to make money. So, I want to ask you two what your plans are for this?"

Ruan Ruan didn't directly tell them her thoughts. She wanted to see if they just wanted to continue doing odd jobs to support themselves and their families and live a stable life. If so, then so be it. She could just call them in if there was a future collaboration.

After listening to Ruan Ruan's analysis, neither of them were stupid; they could also discern a business opportunity. Both of them had their own ideas, especially Chen Liang, who had been single for many years and had saved up some money. If given the chance, he would also like to take a gamble.

“Sister-in-law, I’m not kidding you. If it’s really like what you say, then I’m definitely going to give it a shot.” ​​He had no choice but to leave the army and cut ties with his family back then. Now that the opportunity is in front of him again, he can’t give it up no matter what.

"Yes, Mr. Ruan, if there's a chance to make money, you must take us with you. You know, I'm not usually very smart, but I'm a decent guy and I have some connections."

Liu Gang has a large family to support. The family lives in a large courtyard with only two rooms. He and his wife currently only have one child. His parents want them to have another child, but they don't even have a place to live. Where will the child live after it is born?

If, as Ruan Ruan said, the educated youth return to the city, then the living space in the city will become even more cramped.

“Here’s what I’m thinking, listen to what you think. If the economy really opens up, it means opportunities are coming. Educated youth will return to the city, and farmers will try every means to enter the city. There will be a lot of people. Housing in the city is already tight. Where will these people live? That will be a problem. If at this time, news comes out that a community is selling houses, wouldn’t people with some spare money buy them?”

"Yes, definitely. To be honest, I'm currently very anxious about housing. As you know, our whole family still lives in a tenement. Fortunately, the original owners of our tenement have all passed away. As for the other tenements, the owners have been exonerated, and the government has returned their houses to them. Now, the tenants in those houses are arguing with the owners."

Well, it's not that they don't want to move, it's just that they really have no choice. If they could find somewhere else to stay, nobody wants to hog someone else's house like a leech.

They couldn't really comment on this, only saying that if that's the case, then there will only be more of these kinds of incidents in the future.

"So, if someone needs a house, we'll build one. We have experience building houses, so we'll build one just like our family compound. When people buy, we'll price it based on the size of the house. Even if it's 10 yuan per square meter, we'll still make a profit. Of course, we can't actually sell it at the full price."

"Based on current housing prices in Beijing, even a small room in a tenement building costs 200 yuan. We can set our prices based on that. Not to mention that with a large number of educated youth returning to the city, the demand for housing will be even greater, so we'll make even more money, right?"

After Ruan Ruan explained it to them, they understood that now was the perfect time to seize the opportunity if they wanted to make money.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?"

"Yes, boss, just tell us how to do it, and we'll follow your lead."

Now that both of them had expressed their opinions, Ruan Ruan continued to share her thoughts with them.

"Here's what I'm thinking. We're planning to build our office building. I've heard that the policy will be released by the end of this year or early next year. At that time, I'd like to establish a group company that includes the furniture factory and garment factory I currently own. As you know, the pharmaceutical factory is nominally mine, but in reality, I'm cooperating with the government, so it's not included. I'd also like to establish a construction company for you. Your office will be located in the office building. You can choose which floor you want. Our group will pay for the land, develop it, and then sell it. You two will be considered as contributing your technology as equity, and each of you will receive 20% of the shares and dividends. What do you think?"
