Gao Baoliang was splashed with cold water and jumped out of bed with a start.

"Sister-in-law, why did you splash me?"

Lin Chen glared at him: "Watch your tone. I wouldn't dare to talk to her like that."

Gao Baoliang felt wronged; he had already broken up with his girlfriend, and they were still bullying him like this.

Lin Chen didn't bother to say anything more to him, and told him to change his clothes and leave with them.

Where are we going?

Gao Baoliang was pulled along like a puppet, being led outside.

After walking for more than half an hour, the group arrived at a huge garbage dump.

Not far away was a school, playing melodious music through its loudspeakers.

"The times are calling, the sixth set of broadcast gymnastics now begins, march in step..."

Lin Chen stood on a high mound of earth, the snow still pristine white. He opened his arms wide and spoke to them:

"This garbage dump now belongs to us."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Jiang Ning up.

Lin Qiao and Luo Guangming walked up the mound hand in hand, and Gao Baoliang mechanically followed.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this? Did you buy this land?" He shook his head, thinking he was still drunk.

Lin Chen put his arm around his shoulder. "That's right, it's a new one I bought. This land used to be a pig farm, but it was abandoned and gradually turned into a garbage dump. It stank horribly in the summer, so the government decided to completely transform the land."

"How did you find out about the land sale?" Gao Baoliang truly admired his boldness.

This piece of land is at least 100 acres, and he bought it without hesitation.

"This is a long story..."

Lin Chen recounted how he bought the land, which was roughly about when he was working at the power design institute and heard that Xiao Tong's friend had asked him for money to buy land.

In order to resolve the problem of garbage and foul odor that has drawn strong complaints from citizens as soon as possible, the government has allowed individuals to purchase the land use rights.

Xiao Tong's friend happened to work for the government and, upon hearing the news, acquired the 50-year land use right for 100,000 yuan.

Within fifty years, as long as he does not engage in illegal or disorderly conduct or create environmental problems, he can use this land at will.

The only condition is that all the garbage inside must be removed within six months.

Lin Chen thought that this piece of land would be a good opportunity for Luo Guangming to move his construction company there, so he contacted Xiao Tong's friend.

He added 20,000 yuan and bought the land back from that person.

The man was quite happy. He didn't know what to do with the land; he had originally planned to resell it. He was delighted to make 20,000 yuan in one go.

"The three of us brothers are taking advantage of the reform and opening up to do something big this time."

Lin Chen suggested,

“I have 700,000 yuan on hand, which I can invest all of. Gao Baoliang, you have 100,000 yuan. You’re all set, so you can invest all of it. Guangming, you can contribute your technical expertise. We’re going to open a construction company in the capital.”

Everyone was very excited when they heard that.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen quietly bought the land and even made plans.

Seeing the joyful smiles on their faces, Jiang Ning quickly asked, "So? Are you in or not? Give us your opinion!"

When she first heard about the plan, she had mixed feelings.

In his past life, he worked in many industries and reached the top level in almost every industry. But because Lin Tao sabotaged him behind his back, he fell from great heights time and time again.

All the money he earned was taken by Lin Tao, leaving him only with endless failures and tears.

In this life, she once thought that she should stop doing business. Even if she sold everything in the space, they would have enough money.

But when Lin Chen proposed the idea of ​​starting his own business, she still supported him unconditionally.

Things are different now. So what if we fail?

If things don't work out, we can always start over.

Moreover, as long as no one sabotages the process, Lin Chen's chances of failure are very small.

He used to earn hundreds of thousands in the county town, so there's no reason why he couldn't earn that much in the capital.

Moreover, after Meng Jiao's sudden marriage, she realized one thing: ordinary people can never be content with a modest life.

You must be strong enough to break down class barriers.

Now is the time when the national economy is just starting out. If you find the right industry, it is easy to succeed. Why not seize the opportunities of this era?

Gao Baoliang quickly expressed his opinion.

"Anyway, I have no ties now, so I might as well find something to do. I'm willing to join."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Guangming.

"The future rests on your shoulders. If you can come, we'll be on the fast track from the start."

Luo Guangming's current company was formerly Zhang Lei's construction team. In the 1980s, Zhang Lei used his connections to rename the construction team as Xincheng County Construction Company, with Luo Guangming as the general manager.

If he could move the company directly to Beijing, it would save him the trouble of starting the company in the early stages.

There is currently no precedent for individuals to start their own companies; they can only find state-owned enterprises to affiliate with.

Finding a company to act as an agent for is not easy, and you have to pay a management fee of 5%-10%.

If he doesn't want it, Lin Chen will have to figure out these processes on his own.

Luo Guangming thought for a few minutes, then looked at Lin Qiao's expectant eyes, and finally agreed.

"Give me some time. In the capital, we'll open a branch office first. In Xincheng County, I'm going to train my brother to take over."

Lin Chen felt his plan was more reliable and nodded happily:

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll arrange for people to clean up the trash and level the site as soon as possible. Our first project will be building an office building for ourselves."

As they spoke, he put one arm around Gao Baoliang's shoulder and the other around Jiang Ning's waist, standing at the highest point. Gao Baoliang's right arm was around Luo Guangming.

Luo Guangming put his right arm around Lin Qiao.

The five of them stood in a row, hugging each other. A gust of wind blew by, their hair flying back and upward, their faces filled with anticipation and high spirits for the future.

"We've arrived in 1982!"

They shouted in unison.

A flock of pigeons flew across the sky, emitting a loud cacophony, as if celebrating their victory in advance.

As Gao Baoliang shouted, tears streamed down his face.

Although he lost his lover, he still has so many friends. How happy he is!

Lin Chen saw that he was crying again, so he patted the back of his head.

"Look at you, so full of yourself. We're people who do big things, we don't have time for sadness. Let's go celebrate."

Gao Baoliang wiped away his tears and forced a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace. "Where are you going?"

Jiang Ning quickly said, "Let's go buy stamps."

The post office has issued a new year's stamps, but instead of rushing to buy the latest ones, they're going to acquire the monkey stamps.

Monkey stamps were also very popular at this time. They used to cost eight cents each, but now they have appreciated to eight yuan each.

Many people who make a living by speculating on stamps feel that the returns have already exceeded their limit and the chances of further appreciation are very small, so they have started to sell them.

Jiang Ning knew that 81 tickets were not too cheap; in the future, they would be worth millions and still be hard to come by!
