Chapter 184 New Business

After that, it was time to prepare for the final exams of this semester. The New Year's Eve of 1981 was February 4th, so it was time to review.

But within two days, Fang Mingche received another call from his hometown. It was his brother who called.

"Brother, what happened?"

Fang Minghua said, "Do you really not want the 1,000 investment shares in the village rice mill?"

"No, I've already told the Party Secretary." "

Oh, the Party Secretary hasn't announced it to the villagers yet. He said he would wait three days to prevent you from regretting it."

This batch of Party Secretary did say that he would give three days to think about it. But Fang Mingche didn't plan to regret it. It was agreed that if he didn't call back within three days, it meant that his decision would not change.

He said, "Brother, do you want this share? Then I'll give it to you. It's better to give it to you than to others."

Fang Minghua's face flushed, but thinking that one thousand yuan can make more than two hundred yuan a year, he said, "Then lend me one thousand yuan, and I will pay you back in five years."

Fang Mingche said, "I don't have any money. You don't have a penny, why are you thinking of a share?"

"How can you be without money? How do you spend it?"

Fang Mingche rolled his eyes and said, "How do I spend the money I earn myself? Do I have to report to you as my eldest brother? My parents won't be so lenient."

Fang Minghua said, "No, I just asked out of curiosity."

He estimated that his brother should earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year. How could he have spent it all? He didn't ask for it for nothing. It was a loan, and he would pay it back!

"Then I am too lazy to satisfy your curiosity. Is there anything else?"

"No, it would be a pity to miss such a good investment opportunity."

"Investment is risky, don't just think about the dividends. Let me ask you, you want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, have you ever thought about how you will pay me back if the chicken doesn't lay eggs? Besides, I wish someone could lend me more money right now."

It seems that he and Fang Min have already said hello, not to mention that he bought a courtyard house with three entrances, but to say that he only bought one entrance. The three of them simply didn't mention it to their families.

Fang Mingche said goodbye and hung up the phone. Fang

Minghua went to the gathering place angrily and took the tractor that the village used to go to the street to buy things.

If you don't lend money when you have it, you are heartless and ungrateful!

Seeing that he was very annoyed, a villager asked a few questions.

Fang Minghua wanted to save face, so he said it was okay.

Someone saw him queuing up to make a phone call before, and after a while, he thought of the village's recent fundraising to expand the rice processing plant.

This time everyone was eager to invest, seeing that they could make money!

No matter if it was money saved or borrowed from others, they were willing to invest, and the secretary didn't need to mobilize them at all.

However, the secretary said that those who had contributed money before had priority of the same amount. After that, it was each family's turn to contribute money, and they could only worry.

"Why, your Mingche doesn't want the priority share of the thousand?"

That's great, they can get a little more.

Fang Minghua said, "It hasn't been decided yet."

"If you ask me, those who have ways to make money outside shouldn't compete with us."

Fang Minghua said unhappily, "When they are short of money, they are responsible for contributing money. When they are not short of money, they should be noble and give up their shares, right? Why are you always thinking about good things?"

"Oh, fortunately it's not because of you! If it was because of you, we would have to eat you up and spit it out, wouldn't we?"

Fang Minghua and the other party were getting more and more at odds, and they were about to quarrel.

The tractor driver in front braked directly, "If you want to quarrel, go ahead and quarrel, don't disturb me driving the tractor. If something goes wrong, will you compensate?"

The two men stopped talking, otherwise they would be chased away if they quarreled again. It's so tiring to walk back so many miles with things!

Fang Minghua returned home and talked about this matter angrily.

Fang's father said, "You didn't even discuss it with me, and you ran to call your brother to borrow money?"

"You don't have that much money on hand. Dad, do you still have money? Take it out and take part of the second son's share."

That's also good for keeping the fat water in the field!

Fang's father did have money on hand. This year's harvest is good, so he doesn't need to save money to buy food. The second son got 500 yuan from selling his job before, and he sent back or gave him 400 or 500 yuan in the

past two years. He invested 600 yuan twice, and he still has 400 yuan on hand.

He has actually been thinking about this matter these two days, but he hasn't made up his mind. The eldest brother didn't expect it, but he dared to think and act!

But his bold thinking and action only stopped at borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

"Okay, I'll take out another 400. For the other 600 shares, ask your uncles if they want them. Don't call Mingche again. He will have his final exam soon, and you are not allowed to disturb him from reviewing." The exams

will be finished in half a month before the Chinese New Year, this is common sense.

However, it is indeed as the eldest brother said, the fat water should not flow to outsiders. If it flows, people will think it is their due, and will not think of your kindness. If you want to get a discount, it should be for your family.

Seeing that his second cousin came back from the county, he went to discuss it. Mingfeng also has a share of 1,000.

After listening to what Fang's father said, the second uncle said: "My Mingfeng is going to Guangzhou to buy a house, and my family will not invest any more money. Ask the other people in the Fang family if they want it first."

Fang's father said: "Mingfeng is going to Guangzhou to buy a house? You are really capable. How much is it per square meter?"

"Elevator apartment, 700 per square meter."

Fang's father has been to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, but he knows what an elevator apartment is. But, "700 per square meter, isn't that too expensive? Capital Overseas Chinese Apartments are only over 200."

Mingche said that in the 1960s, the price was over 100. Because of the shortage of supply, the price of the old houses has not dropped for more than ten years. Even now, the price has increased by dozens of yuan due to inflation.

Father Fang already found the price scary. But because it was built for overseas Chinese, the house was really good. Especially the community environment was very good, so he could still understand the price.

But 700, that's a sky-high price!

"The salary in Guangzhou is several times higher than in the mainland. Mingfeng said that people from Hong Kong will come here to buy. The increase will be huge in the future. Moreover, the rent is affordable."

Father Fang thought about it. Mingche said that the average income in Japan is 80 times that of China. The houses there are also scary expensive. With this comparison, it seems that 700 per square meter in Guangzhou is reasonable.

"Your Mingfeng is really capable! It must cost tens of thousands to buy a house?"

Second uncle said: "Seventh brother, your Mingche also spent more than 40,000 on the courtyard house he just bought. Moreover, his money is mainly invested in buying commercial vehicles."

If it were someone else, he would not tell others about the 700 per square meter house in Guangzhou. They are no longer on the same level, and people will only say that he is showing off.

After the second uncle finished speaking, he saw the shocked look on Fang's father's face and hurriedly asked, "Why, you didn't know yet?"

"He did tell us that he wanted to buy another house, and the small courtyard we live in now would be vacated for us to take our three children to school. But I really didn't know he had bought it. He must be in debt again, and he owes a large sum. That's why he didn't dare to let me know! You said he also bought a commercial vehicle. That's right, he must be in debt!"

The second uncle thought for a while, "Maybe, he really can't come up with so much money. Maybe he's robbing Peter to pay Paul. This kid is so bold!"

"When will your Mingfeng come back?"

"It will take a few days."

"The red-raising class ends earlier than the university. I'll ask him when he comes back. Mingche is preparing for the exam, so let him finish it first."

When Fang Mingfeng brought Fang Tong back home in mid-January, he learned that the 1,000 shares were distributed to the Fang family's uncles and aunts, so

he said, "That's fine, but don't just think about the good things when you invest." The uncles and aunts said, "I know, investment has risks. Your father and Uncle Qi have told us before."

However, Lao Qi himself invested 1,000 yuan, and was obviously very optimistic. As for the second brother, Mingfeng was going to Guangzhou to buy a house, so he didn't invest again.

After Fang Mingfeng settled down, his father said, "Go to your Uncle Qi, he has something to ask you."

"Oh, Tongtong, you stay at home with grandpa, grandma and aunt."

Fang Mingfeng took the money he brought back for Fang Mingche. Last year, his wife helped to exchange the money for New Year's goods in the county. This year, let's give it to them to buy for themselves.

He went over and handed over a hundred yuan, "Uncle Qi, Mingche and Lin Yan can't come back for the New Year. You can use this hundred yuan to buy some New Year's goods."

Fang's mother smiled and said, "It just so happens that there is not much cash at home. This money comes at the right time."

Fang's father said, "He is still in debt."

Fang Mingfeng said, "Uncle Qi, you know?"

Fang's father tapped his pipe, "You also need to buy a house. Who is willing to lend him so much money?"

"The bank, take the car you bought before to the bank for a loan."

Fang's father said, "Did you owe any debt for buying the car?"

Fang Mingche did not mention that the Investment Promotion Office had taken back the two cars. Fang's father's understanding was that he rented two cars and bought two.

"There was no debt when buying the car at the beginning."

"That's fine, but he owed the bank money for buying the house. How big did he buy? How much did he owe?"

Fang Mingfeng thought to himself: Mingche really predicted it. I didn't want to disturb him from reviewing for the final exam, so I asked him all the questions.

So he said as they had agreed, "He bought a courtyard house of 400 to 500 square meters. He has spent all his money, and also spent the 30,000 yuan he borrowed from mortgaging his car."

Fang's father said, "Then he mortgaged 30,000 yuan to open a store abroad, and you haven't paid it back yet, right?"

"Yes, I haven't paid it back yet. The store must be stocked with goods, and sometimes the payment for the goods cannot be collected in time."

Fang's father said, "Then why are you in a hurry to buy a house? The two cars are rented, and the annual rent is so high. He bought two cars with great difficulty, and they are all mortgaged to the bank."

Fang Minghua, who was standing by, heard this and blurted out, "Then isn't he more short of money in the capital than we are in our hometown?"

Fang Mingfeng nodded, "Yes, in fact, it's very difficult outside. This time I bought a house, I borrowed half of the money from others first, and then paid them back on a monthly basis."

Fang's father said, "Then who did you borrow the money from?"

The bank will definitely not lend money if the house title is not yet obtained. (It’s still early for the mainland’s housing loan policy)

“It’s the friend in Guangzhou who sent me the videotapes. He controls my supply channels, so he’s not afraid that I won’t pay back the money.”

Fang’s father said, “You are all too bold to owe debts!”

“Seventh Uncle, that’s because we are more confident about the future. Don’t worry, Mingche dares to owe because he can earn it.”

Fang Mingfeng had very complicated feelings for his cousin Fang Mingche.

In the capital, his cousin was very much superior to him. However, it’s better to have someone in the same clan who can help each other or is better than himself than to have someone who is always trying to get benefits from him.

After Fang Mingfeng left, Fang’s father stared at his eldest son without saying a word.

Fang Minghua said, "He is also in debt, he said so. If I knew he was in debt of 60,000, would I have said those words?"

Fang's father said, "When I came back, didn't I tell you that your brother had taken out a loan to open a store abroad? You chose to forget it, and then blamed him for not lending you money to get the investment share in the village. Then what did you help him with? He borrowed money to buy a house, and he also wanted to take your three children to the capital to study. You should speak with conscience!"

"I know." Fang Minghua's head drooped.

Fang's father paused and said, "Your brother is right. How and where he spent his money does not need to be explained to you. His is his, yours is yours. What belongs to me is naturally mine! He is also willing to help his nephews and nieces, you should be happy. You are almost thirty years old, don't think about things beyond your ability."

In the future, the second child will probably not bother to argue with the eldest child for everything in this family. The elders must also be concerned about not having a good life. But the eldest child can't let his words and actions chill the second child's heart.

Fang Mingfeng went to the county town to apply for a business license the next day. He had to finalize everything before the government departments closed for the holiday.

The house in Guangzhou was indeed bought with half of the money borrowed. In the future, when the house title is in hand, it will be mortgaged quickly to take out the money.

The reason why he is in a hurry to buy is that he heard that the houses with good floors, orientations and apartment types in the first phase are almost sold out. He definitely doesn't want the remaining corners. After all, it will cost tens of thousands!

He does have the idea of ​​developing in the south. After all, the four special economic zones are all in the southern coastal areas. First buy a house, and in a few years, settle his wife in Guangzhou to avoid having a third child. It can be regarded as a prelude.

He ran around for several days in a row before completing all the procedures. Then he went to the cultural station to call Fang Mingche, "It's quite a lot of procedures to apply for a business license. Did you run around like this for your scrap station?"

As for the business license to sell goods under the Ministry of Culture, it is said that the whole process is green light and special matters are handled specially. After all, it is an industry that can improve people's social status. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture both support it. And there is also the relationship with the Wang family.

As for the difference in money, Fang Mingfeng is not that stimulated. After all, he earns a lot.

But Mingche was actually invited to attend the Christmas reception hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which really stimulated him.

Mingche said that the status of businessmen will gradually improve, but he has not felt it yet.

Fang Mingche said: "These errands are all run by the office director for me. I just sign when it is necessary. Otherwise, why would I pay her such a high salary? So when it comes to the specific process, I really don't know much."

Fang Mingfeng was speechless for a moment. He has always run a husband-and-wife business, and they are the ones who manage things. Now his wife has just given birth to a little daughter in the capital forty days, so he has to run it himself.

As for the people he hired, they were all relatives. His father was the boss of the video hall, and the actual work was done by his brother-in-law and another cousin from the next room.

These people were not well educated. Even if they had no bad intentions, they were afraid that something might go wrong if they were asked to handle the matter.

From this point of view, it was more reliable for his cousin to recruit high school students. There were also a few people with connections, but they accounted for a very small proportion.

Fang Mingche listened to what he said, "I'm not just recruiting high school students. I'm going to open a branch in Shanghai, and I'm still short of a college student or a deputy section or deputy battalion officer to take charge. If you can't recruit anyone, can you spare some time next year to help me take over for a few months? I'll give you 500 according to that position ."

Fang Mingfeng could indeed arrange his time. The two children were taken care of by their mother and mother-in-law. Besides, it was okay to go to Shanghai.

What else could he do if he didn't go to Guangzhou now? Now it was best to use his connections in Guangzhou to continuously import the latest videotapes and play them in the mainland.

When he came back this time, he also wanted to open a video hall in the town. Video halls and scrap yards are both industries with relatively stable income.

But he also wanted to find a big business like his cousin opened a travel agency and sold handicrafts. This is not easy!

He went to Shanghai to take a look and observed the operation of his cousin's company.

So he thought about it and agreed, "Okay. If there is no suitable person, I will replace you for a few months."

"Then you have to come and observe it when you come back from Guangzhou."

"Okay. By the way, Uncle Qi asked if you have finished the exam?"

"I just finished the exam yesterday. Okay, tell him that I will be at the Overseas Chinese Apartment tomorrow morning."

At this moment, he was answering the phone at Lao Zhou's house.

After answering the phone, Fang Mingche gave a dime.

Lao Zhou said: "Teacher Fang, I will definitely exchange those foreign currencies back to you next year."

Boss Cui muttered a few times. He must have felt embarrassed. After all, the exchange rate of foreign currency in the black market is indeed getting higher and higher. And it looks like it will be even higher. He was the one who vowed that he would only exchange it temporarily and exchange it back to others when his daughter sent money back.

Fang Mingche said: "If you can't control Yingzi, can you control Lingzi?" If

the money is directly remitted, there is no foreign currency at all. Old Zhou could only wait for Lingzi to bring back foreign exchange directly.

Fang Mingche didn't know the secret channels, so he planned to remit part of it back for the task. The rest would be used to set up properties overseas.

But Wu Mingju and Cui Yingqi knew how to get foreign exchange back secretly. They would probably share it with their colleagues.

Old Zhou said, "Lingzi will come back."

As long as she comes back, there is no need to worry about her leaving.

Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows, "Yingzi has decided not to come back?"

"Why would she come back after she finally went out? We are just ordinary people, and it is not as easy for us to go abroad as it is for you."

Fang Mingche nodded and said nothing more.

Old Zhou sighed as he looked at Fang Mingche's back. If he was as capable as Fang Mingche, he would not have blamed Yingzi on the phone, but was speechless when Yingzi asked him back, "You only know how to ask me to send the money back. Where were you when I was almost raped here?"

He must also hope to create a better life for his descendants. Now, isn't it for Yingzi to go to the United States first to give his grandchildren a higher starting point in the future?

Yingzi said that she was sorting goods in the small warehouse of the supermarket and was almost raped by the clerk.

The man said that she would not be his person anyway and would have to rely on him to get a green card. It would be better for him to exercise his power in advance.

Fortunately, she struggled desperately, and her shouting attracted the bedridden uncle. The uncle came with a cane and drove the man away.

The uncle recovered well after the stroke. American medical technology is indeed much more advanced. And Yingzi took good care of him.

And it was he who took in the clerk. Although he was on crutches, he still had some deterrent power.

Later, the cousin acted as a middleman, saying that the man was impulsive, and asked him to apologize to Yingzi and pay a sum of money for comfort.

Yingzi's visa has expired, and now she is hiding there, and she dare not call the police. And now she dare not offend her cousin and aunt.

In the end, the matter ended with the cousin and aunt taking a sum of money from the uncle and adding their own money to open a branch, and took the clerk away as well. The previous proposal for her to marry the clerk in the future was dropped.

Now Yingzi and her uncle depend on each other, and she has to take on more work in the supermarket. She has to do all the moving and carrying by herself, and she works like a workhorse. Fortunately, her uncle gave her a 200 yuan salary increase.

Her cousin and aunt come back to see her uncle about once a month. As for her cousin, he is studying at a state university and is rarely seen.

Lingzi also knew about this development. She said to her sister on the phone: "How about you come back?"

No matter how hard she works, she is just a clerk. Once her uncle is gone, her uncle and aunt may not be willing to keep Yingzi. It is even hard to say whether she can get the money in the joint account with her uncle.

But Yingzi refused, "I have been working here for more than half a year. Sister, can't you come this year? And when you come with a work visa, I can transfer the money to your account. I see that my uncle is recovering well, and he will be able to make it this year."

However, in order to be on the safe side, Yingzi plans to take out half of the money and send it to Lingzi for safekeeping. What if my uncle falls asleep one day and doesn't wake up the next day?

She doesn't trust her parents. Her parents took her money and said they were keeping it for her, and would only use it on themselves and her brother in the future. But her sister can earn a high salary in the travel agency, so she won't embezzle her money.

So, Lingzi is even more anxious to go to the United States. In a sense, her sister is going to ward off disaster for her. And for various reasons, her parents just pushed them sisters out to pave the way. For their parents, for their brother.

Fang Mingche didn't know so much, he only knew that Lingzi became more and more silent.

In fact, when Lingzi first received Yingzi's call, she subconsciously wanted to ask him for advice. Beside her, Teacher Fang is the smartest and most capable person!

However, she has realized her feelings, and she has also noticed that Teacher Lin is intentionally or unintentionally wary of her.

Lingzi now sincerely hopes to go to the United States as soon as possible, so that she can get rid of the hopeless emotional troubles and be with her sister.

Qiu Yin and Wu Mingju flew abroad again after Christmas. This time they got a long-term work visa. With the endorsement of the Ministry of Culture, they also have a real job overseas, and they are going to countries that currently have normal diplomatic relations with us, so it is relatively smooth to get a visa.

When seeing Qiu Yin off, Fang Mingche drove Teacher Qiu and Grandma Qiu to go. Lingzi also went to see them off as the office director. She had to understand the process of flying abroad. Some Chinese people have already started to inquire about overseas travel matters from travel agencies.

At that time, she heard Fang Mingche telling Qiu Yin to pay special attention to personal safety abroad. It is best to stay in a middle-class neighborhood with shops, where the public security will be better. If possible, learn some self-defense methods in a club abroad.

Now that Yingzi said that she was almost raped, Lingzi thought it would be better for her to practice first.

This day, Wang Dexian came over, and Lingzi ran to ask him if there was any place to learn boxing and kung fu. When

she was a child, she also followed Wang Dexian and called him Brother Wang, and spoke more casually.

Speaking of boxing and kicking, Wang Dexian, who was pushing a bicycle, thought of Fang Mingche practicing boxing with Yanyan every day in the small side yard. They practiced in an orderly manner, and it seemed that they had a master.

In addition, Xiao Fang was also very good at playing with guns. It was said that the speed of disassembling and assembling guns was amazing. After hearing what Qin Mu said, Wang Dexian was not too surprised. Nowadays, there are many guns scattered among the people. It is not surprising that Xiao Fang has played with guns.

Seeing Yanyan practicing boxing and kicking every day, Qin Hua was infected and pestered him to teach her a few tricks. He was eager to learn more.

He naturally learned from the old man. The old man had been a soldier for decades, and he exchanged what he had with comrades from all over the world and practiced hard kung fu.

When he heard Lingzi asking him about this, Wang Dexian subconsciously wanted to ask, "Why don't you learn from Teacher Fang?"

Then he realized that this was to avoid suspicion.

This is also the little sister he watched grow up, and she is also a capable person in the travel agency. So he thought about it and said, "There is no one who teaches boxing in the market now. If you don't mind the trouble, take a bus to the military district with Qin Hua on Sunday, and I will find someone to teach you."

The public security is not good, and Qin Hua is getting more and more outstanding. Since she is willing to learn, let her go and learn.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang. I will pay for the tuition myself."

As a result, when Yanyan heard about this, she also wanted to go.

Fang Mingche said, "You really don't mind being tired! You have classes at the Children's Palace from Monday to Saturday. It's a rare Sunday when you have nothing to do, and you find a martial arts class for yourself."

Now that he doesn't have classes, he naturally drives Yanyan to pick her up. And the winter vacation class is heavier than usual.

Fang Mingche looked at Qin Hua who encouraged Yanyan to go with him, "Do you want me to be your driver to pick you up?"

Qin Hua laughed, that's what he meant.

"This Sunday means it starts the day after tomorrow, right? Then the day after tomorrow you guys come with me to the Siheyuan."

Qin Hua made an OK gesture, "Thank you for your hard work

, Brother Mingche." "It's not hard, I can release one sheep or two sheep."

Qin Hua said, "More than two, there is also Sister Ling." She pointed at Zhou's house.

Fang Mingche nodded. They all live in this area, so it's not a big deal.

So on Sunday morning, Fang Mingche prepared to drive the three girls to the Siheyuan first. I have an appointment with Master Lei today. He will come up with a repair plan for them, and the work will start after the New Year.

Lin Yan and Fang Min pushed Changchang to stroll in the alley to avoid Fang Mingche driving out. Otherwise, he would make a fuss to follow him. It's troublesome for him to carry things when he goes out.

When he went out, he met Qin Hua, who was wearing a winter sportswear and a space suit on the outside, walking out of the alley. Wang Dexian received a lot of dividends before the New Year, and also gave his sister pocket money. Qin Hua bought this sportswear specifically for the convenience of exercise.

Yanyan's outfit today is similar. She can just take off her space suit when she goes to practice martial arts.

Qin Hua greeted Lin Yan and teased Fang Chang.

Lin Yan said, "Well, it's good for a pretty girl to learn some self-defense. Come in!"

Qin Hua raised his chin towards Old Zhou's house, "Sister Ling is going too. I just saw her collecting the phone bill and she hasn't left yet."

Lin Yan hadn't heard that Lingzi was going. Wouldn't I have to pick up and drop off Lingzi every Sunday in the future? It's okay, it's not like I'm picking her up alone.

However, it's better to open the store in the United States as soon as possible. This way everyone can be comfortable.

At this time, Lingzi also came. She also bought a winter sportswear specifically. She has been able to control her own salary for a few months and has more money on hand. She almost wanted to spend money on herself in revenge.

Of course, living at home will definitely be criticized. But when it comes to going to the military area to learn martial arts, her father, who has always been stingy, is unusually open-minded.

Lingzi didn't expect it to develop like this, but she certainly couldn't say that she didn't hitchhike.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You should study hard when you go there. In the future, there will be three female heroes in this area."

Then she continued to stroll with Fang Min.

When Qin Hua entered the small side courtyard and talked about the three female heroes, Fang Mingche smiled. If they could grow up to be women like the three heroes of the East, it would be quite good.

He sat in the driver's seat and looked back at the three little girls in the back seat. Lingzi was 19, Qin Hua was 13, and Yanyan was 5 years old. It seemed that they could not form a team.

"Let's go-"

When they arrived at the courtyard, Master Lei, who had been surveying here for half a month, took out a mini 3D color model.

It was placed on the two eight-immortal tables put together, just right.

Fang Mingche knew that this was a feature of Yangshi Lei, but it was the first time for the three little girls to see it. Not to mention Yanyan exclaimed, Qin Hua and Lingzi's eyes lit up.

Anything will look particularly cute when it is reduced in proportion, and houses are no exception.

Yanyan said, "Master Lei, is my courtyard house like this after it is restored?"

Master Lei nodded, yes. He explained it in comparison. He also talked about the approximate cost of materials and labor.

Fang Mingche nodded, "I heard that you can also customize the whole house furniture?"

"Yes."

Fang Mingche asked Uncle Gu about custom-made furniture, and Uncle Gu said that it would be better not to bother two people for one thing. Lei's family can also do hard decoration and soft decoration.

That would be great. This courtyard house cost so much money, and the cost of restoration and decoration would be nearly 150,000 yuan. He definitely didn't buy incomplete sets of old furniture. It

would be fine if the furniture in the whole courtyard was sold as a whole. But obviously there is no such good thing, and he could find a whole set of antique furniture at a bargain price. Then he had to order it custom-made.

Well, it's not cost-effective to rent out only one courtyard with such a high cost. He could rent it to others, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the travel agency to expand its office in the future.

He thought, just turn it into a B&B. Not far from Tiananmen Square, the courtyard with an ancient fragrance and quaintness restored by Yangshi Lei, the furniture is also of ancient style.

Not to mention out-of-town tourists, I'm afraid foreign tourists would want to stay there. He would just go through the necessary procedures when the time comes.

The second and third courtyards, plus the two side courtyards, have a total of 28 rooms. If they are full in one night, they can charge 50 or 60 yuan, which means less than 2,000 yuan a month.

With more and more tourists in the capital, the occupancy rate may be 60 to 70%. He could make at least 1,000 yuan a month.

B&B is much easier than catering. Fang Mingche thought about it and decided that this business was worth doing, so he was ready to start.

It just so happened that the old man might not be used to being idle when he came back, so he could let him manage the B&B. Seeing that he could earn so much in a day, he probably wouldn't care to scold himself for taking risks.
