Chapter 179

It will take some time to get the shop certificate. Jiang Bai, who came to apply for the property certificate for the first time, was confused. He had already paid for the house, so why did he have to pay taxes for the property certificate?

Jiang Bai is used to being independent, and his first reaction was, if he can’t pay the tax now, will he be unable to get the real estate certificate?

When Jiang Bai knew that it could be done at any time, he felt relieved and thought about how to make money.

He didn't intend to call his sister for help. In his opinion, his sister owed so much money for the mortgage, and had to pay back 10,000 yuan every month. It was impossible for her to have money. So he was anxious every day, eager to sell clothes for his sister to make money. Except for the 500 yuan mortgage that Jiang Ning paid him every month, he gave all the money from the sale of clothes to Jiang Ning, for fear that she would not have enough to pay back the mortgage, and the loan sharks and bank would take away her house.

He spent a lot of time in Shanghai, and every now and then he would clean Jiang Ning's villa and duplex apartment and check the circuits. He had gradually developed a sense of belonging to both houses. Although they were not his, he had formed an inherent concept that the houses belonged to his sister, and not like before, when he felt that they were someone else's houses, floating in the clouds and out of reach.

The same is true for Grandpa Jiang. He has been in Shanghai. When he has nothing to do, he can't help but go to his granddaughter's mansion to take a look. The more he looks, the prouder and happier he feels.

He is old and can no longer work, but he never admits his age. He always feels that when people grow old, they should work until they die.

Selling clothes is a great job nowadays. He doesn't have to do anything. Customers can choose by themselves when they come. The prices are fixed and there is no bargaining. Not only can he make money, but he can also help his granddaughter pay off the mortgage. The feeling of being needed makes him feel particularly energetic every day.

He has to work hard, because his granddaughter needs him to help run the store and earn money to pay the mortgage for such a big house!

Because the clothes in his store are nice-looking and reasonably priced, students from the school are willing to come to his store to buy clothes.

Other stores wanted to emulate Grandpa Jiang's store, but unfortunately, their cost price was much higher than the clothes in Grandpa Jiang's store. In addition, in this era, charging high prices to rip off customers was a common thing. Everyone wanted to make money. Over time, Grandpa Jiang's store became a regular customer on the back street of Shanghai Polytechnic Institute.

Of course, more importantly, there is a tall and handsome Jiang Bai here. Many girls come here just to secretly see Jiang Bai. Even if they don’t buy clothes, they will go in to have a look.

At that time, the movie "White Snake" was still in theaters, and its box office was almost catching up with "Party A and B" which was released a month earlier. In addition, the screening of Xie Fuqiu's horse oil shampoo gg forced a hole in the market that was almost monopolized by foreign shampoo gg, and Xie Fuqiu's shampoo began to enter the public's field of vision.

Xie Fuqiu's horse oil shampoo is of very good quality, but she has never been willing to give it a thumbs up before, relying on word-of-mouth. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush, but in this era, various products from a series of foreign-funded companies such as Piaopiao and Haifeisi have almost monopolized all consumer levels in the shampoo industry, from cheap to slightly more expensive. Now, with the popularity of Jiang Bai's "White Snake" during the Chinese New Year, when people choose shampoo, they not only look at foreign shampoos, but also look at horse oil shampoo.

The capital market saw Jiang Bai’s value, and two more manufacturers approached Jiang Bai, wanting him to bid for their products, and the prices they offered were not low.

They had called the store many times before, but Jiang Bai was in his hometown during the Chinese New Year and didn't answer the calls. It was not until they returned to Shanghai that they contacted Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai was short of money, and when he heard that they were looking for him to shoot gg again, he agreed without hesitation.

His good brother Tong Jingang had been helping him sell clothes during the Chinese New Year. When he heard that he was going to take photos of the party, he was excited to go along. It wasn't that he wanted to get in on the fun or anything, he was just very interested in such occasions and wanted to meet more people. In addition, Jiang Bai himself was socially anxious and felt very uncomfortable facing these things alone. Tong Jingang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just take the photos. I'll take care of everything else!"

Jiang Ning reminded Jiang Bai that it's okay to shoot gg, but first of all, you have to look at the product and try it yourself. You can only shoot after you have passed various inspection certificates. You can't just shoot for anyone who pays you. It's important to take care of your reputation.

Jiang Bai is a serious and stubborn person. He thinks his sister is right, so he strictly follows Jiang Ning's standards. One product failed, and the other manufacturer complained that Jiang Bai was too troublesome. Finally, the person in charge saw that Jiang Bai was so serious and careful, and thought that his responsible attitude was a good thing for the products in their food industry, so he gave Jiang Bai an extra 2,000 yuan in product fee.

Of course, it is incomparable with the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions that were paid in later generations. It is just slightly higher than the gg fee that Xie Fuqiu gave before.

Even so, Jiang Bai was happy enough. Before school started, when there was no one in the school and no business in the store, Jiang Bai took two ggs in a row, returned happily with the money, and got the property ownership certificate of the store and the real estate certificate of the duplex apartment, which had passed the bank's loan review. He held two small notebooks in his hands and smiled from ear to ear.

It was not until he went to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau in person, paid taxes, completed all procedures, and received the certificate from the government that he finally felt a sense of reality. He had indeed settled down in this huge and unfamiliar city. He not only had a house, but also a shop.

Jiang Bai suddenly felt that all the ultimate things he had been pursuing in his life had been achieved at once.

He brought Tong Jingang to his duplex apartment. The house was still completely unfinished, with a floor height of 6.2 meters. Standing with Tong Jingang in the ugly unfinished house, he felt that he had never seen such a beautiful house. Every brick and tile of the house belonged to him.

The feeling was wonderful, as if he had come into this world and finally found a place to settle down.

The family built such a big house, with his room and his sister's room. He thought it was his home as he did when he was a child. He cleaned it inside and out. But his parents told everyone, "Now that Songzi's house is built, he will get married and have a house, so we can feel at ease. Next is Baizi's house, but there is no rush for Baizi's house. He is only a freshman, and there are at least three years left. Let's earn money for two years first, hold the betrothal gift and wedding for the eldest, and then build the houses for the second and third brothers. Then my life's mission will be completed."

Jiang Bai didn't say anything after hearing this, but he understood in his heart that such a big house was not his, and the room that belonged to him was not his either. One day, he would have to move out of there.

That house belongs to my eldest brother Jiang Song.

Now, he has his own house and his own home.

He touched the rough wall, his face full of excitement and excitement.

He already knew how to decorate it, so he just copied it from his sister's apartment!

However, the living room does not need to be so big, it would be a waste. He wants to make use of the space upstairs and downstairs and turn them all into rooms. This way, when he gets married and has children, they won't have to sleep on the same bed like he and his older brother did and fight every day.

There are also rooms for my sister and grandpa!

Influenced by the feudal ideas of his hometown, Jiang Bai also thinks that taking care of elders is a boy's job, so he has never thought about letting Grandpa Jiang live with Jiang Ning in the future. In his heart, the responsibility of taking care of Grandpa and providing for his grandfather in his old age is his. Of course, Grandpa must live with him. The important thing is that he thinks his sister is not very good at taking care of people, and he is stronger and better at taking care of people. In the future, he will be much more capable than his sister in wiping and cleaning for Grandpa!

He felt weird whenever he thought about Jiang Ning getting married and bringing her grandfather to live with her in her little home.

There are no elderly people living with their daughters in their place.

Tong Jingang touched Jiang Bai's house and was also amazed: "Oh my goodness! Damn, you are so mean. When did you buy the house? Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Bai was a little embarrassed and said, "It's been almost two years since I bought it. It was a pre-sale property. When I bought it, it was still a wasteland with nothing. I thought my sister had met a scammer. Not only did I not take it seriously, but I also had to pay a mortgage of 500 yuan every month."

He scratched his head. He was a silent and low-key person. Even to his best brother, he didn't feel real before the house was built, let alone telling Tong Jingang.

Tong Jingang had lived in Jiang Ning's apartment before, but he didn't expect that his brother had also bought an apartment here at some point.

He originally thought that his brother, who knew nothing like him and only cared about eating and drinking, suddenly bought a house and a shop in Shanghai, which made him feel very strange.

While he was still stupid, his brother had already taken off with him on his back.

This immediately gave him a sense of urgency.

He immediately jumped up and said, "I don't care. If you buy it here, I will buy it here too. I can even come to your house for a meal in the future!"

He almost had that scene in his mind. He brought his girlfriend and future children to Jiang Bai's house for a meal. Jiang Bai was a good cook and made a big table of delicious food. The women sat together watching TV and chatting, while the children played by themselves. He, Jiang Bai, and the good friends he met in college sat together drinking, bragging and chatting!

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

He has strong communication skills and can get along well anywhere. He made new good friends in college and wanted to introduce them to Jiang Bo, so that he won’t have to worry about having no friends to play basketball with in the future!

He played a supporting role for a summer last year. In the past two years, he often sold clothes to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning did not lose anything from him. According to the commission of the salary he gave to Jiang Bai, he made about 500 yuan each time. After two years, he also saved a lot of money.

Seeing that his brother bought a house here, he also became eager to buy a house and immediately ran to the sales office.

However, the zero down payment option is no longer available. Due to the Asian financial crisis last year and this year, the housing market is sluggish, and there are still many vacant apartments in Phase 3. After visiting his brothers' unfinished house, Tong Jingang asked for a house in the same building as Jiang Bai without thinking twice. As he did not have enough money, the area he chose was a little smaller than Jiang Bai's. Taking into account the public area, the price of the house has not actually increased much compared to 1996 and 1997, but it has actually increased.

But as a bachelor who only wanted to play minor roles in movies and TV series during the summer vacation, he didn't care how big the house he lived in was. Besides, how small could it be smaller than his home in Wucheng? His home in Wucheng is only about 60 square meters, which is considered large in his hometown, and is home to his family of three.

His house is at least 90 square meters. If divided into two floors, it would be about 170 or 180 square meters. It also comes with a balcony and a terrace. Why would he need a bicycle?

It just so happened that Jiang Bai had not used up all the money from shooting two GGs, so I borrowed the remaining money from Jiang Bai.

He and Jiang Bai have been brothers for several years and are used to being informal. He is not at all formal with Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai is also not at all formal with him. Seeing that Jiang Bai was short of money and he had some, he lent it to him. The most important thing is that they bought a house in the same place, and they could go out together to drink and play ball in the future. Both of them were very happy just thinking about it.

Jiang Bai now feels that the future days will be very beautiful and promising. He has his own house, his grandfather is by his side, his sister's house is in the same community as his, the villa area is not far away, and his good friends are not separated. Is there anything in the world that can make him happier than this?

Until he accompanied Tong Jingang to complete all the formalities, both of them were still smiling foolishly, with beautiful visions of the future on their faces.

Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng are still auditors this semester and will not be able to officially enroll with the new students until the second half of the year, but they have not missed any of the classes they should attend or the knowledge they should learn. In fact, because they have someone to accompany them and share the same interests, values ​​and pace, their originally boring life has become quiet and leisurely.

After Jiang Ning invested the money in the stock market, she no longer cared about it and did not keep an eye on it every day. During this period of time, whether the prices went up or down had no impact on her. The only thing that affected her was that the "Those Years I Was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard", which had been serialized for such a long time, was about to end.

Because all her martial arts works were signed to "Wuxia" magazine, her current rate of per thousand words has increased to 460,000. Every month, she has a fixed income of more than 40,000 to 50,000 just from royalties. All her previous money was invested in the stock market. Once "Jinyiwei Commander" is finished, she will either have to start a new work immediately, or her fixed monthly income from royalties will be cut off.

Once the payment is cut off, she will still have to pay a fixed mortgage of over 10,000 yuan every month.

So she started to conceive a new work, and for a moment, she really didn't know what to write.
