Chapter 415 Sister Lin, take me with you
Seeing that Dabao and Xiaobao looked very calm, Lin Xiangnan believed their explanation and did not force them to throw away the popsicles.
"Eat it if you want. You can only eat one a day anyway. If you eat it outside, you can't eat it when you get home."
As Lin Xiangnan spoke, he took Dabao and Xiaobao's schoolbags and handed them to Lin Xiangxi, "You carry them."
"Oh." Lin Xiangxi was used to it and just put on his schoolbag. He also had a water bottle on his waist, which he prepared for Dabao and Xiaobao, but the two children didn't drink.
After giving the schoolbag to Lin Xiangxi, Lin Xiangnan went to buy two ice cream sticks, one for her and one for Lin Xiangxi.
The two little ones finished theirs and looked at Lin Xiangnan eagerly, "Mom, can I have a small bite? Just a small bite."
Xiaobao stretched out two fingers and gestured humbly.
"Since you're so cute, I'll give you one bite."
After taking a bite, Xiao Bao chuckled and said, "Can you have another bite?"
Xiaobao followed Lin towards the south, and Dabao followed Lin towards the west.
After finishing the ice cream, they went to Huang Xiaogang's place. Huang Xiaogang took the key and led the way personally.
"The two houses we recently acquired have just been completed. Sister Lin, go and see if they are suitable."
"You know, I only choose the location, not the house. It's for rent anyway, so just a simple renovation will be fine." Lin Xiangnan's attitude was very indifferent.
Huang Xiaogang has more than one client, but Lin Xiangnan is definitely the most stable one. Others would buy one unit from him and that was enough, but Lin Xiangnan would buy one unit after another.
He joked, "It seems that during the summer vacation, the English training class business is good. It's only been a short time and you are ready to take action again."
"It's really not bad. There have always been many people who want to go abroad, and there are even more people who want to escape during this period."
"That's true. The situation in the country is a bit dangerous for us recently." Huang Xiaogang felt the same way.
The crackdown scared many people, and they all wanted to flee abroad. Those who went to training classes to learn English and apply for passports took the formal path. The unconventional path did not care whether the country agreed or not, and they just got on the boat and did it.
Huang Xiaogang spent two days in jail, but nothing serious was found. He had passed this stage, so he had no intention of leaving the country. He couldn't leave with his family.
Lin Xiangnan asked curiously: "Xu Yan hasn't come to the training class for a while, where has she been acting as the God of Wealth?"
"I've learned cooking for a month, and now I'm making soup for myself at home." Huang Xiaogang chuckled and praised, "Come to my house tonight and try it. It's delicious. Yan Zi said that I'm too tired and I need to make up for it with food."
"Your Xu Yan's cooking skills... I won't go." Lin Xiangnan smiled and said, "A wife is meant to be loved. You should ask Xu Yan to cook less. Don't you have a cook at home? Don't interfere with her work."
"Yanzi is not tired. Business has been slow recently. I help Yanzi cook." Huang Xiaogang said, "This is a severe crackdown. Many people have been arrested. I can't sell my luxuriously decorated house. I have nothing to do."
He relied on his well-informed connections to become a middleman in the real estate business, buying dilapidated houses at low prices, renovating them, and then selling them.
For clients like Lin Xiangnan who collect rent, as well as ordinary customers, Huang Xiaogang simply decorates the house so that it is habitable.
Targeting the local tycoons, Huang Xiaogang likes to decorate his houses luxuriously so that he can sell them at a high price.
Huang Xiaogang would be short of money if he had two houses like this. But no matter how tight his money was, he would not introduce such a house to Lin Xiangnan.
When it comes to buying a house, Lin Xiangnan is an old hand and is no sucker.
If Lin Xiangnan didn't want a decent job, Huang Xiaogang doubted that he would be able to compete with Lin Xiangnan in this industry.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of price and cost, he can't compare with Lin Xiangnan, he can't figure it out.
After just a quick walk around the house and taking a look at its condition, and then leaving Huang Xiaogang some profit, Lin Xiangnan made a direct offer, "I can give you 4,000 for this house. I can only give you 3,500 for the other one."
"Okay." Huang Xiaogang nodded without bargaining. Earning 500 yuan from a house was enough to cover his hard work.
He is familiar with plumbers, carpenters and bricklayers, and has cooperated with furniture factories and brick and tile factories. It is just a matter of giving them a call. The more houses he handles, the lower his costs can be.
This kind of decoration for rent does not require much effort.
"The prices of these two houses are different, so it's not easy to divide them between the two children. I can still get another house on this street. Let me know when you find one."
The two children are the same age and want the same things. Lin Xiangnan reminded them, "It would be even better if they live next door to each other."
"Understood." Huang Xiaogang agreed straightforwardly. He looked at Dabao and Xiaobao with envy.
He earned some money from running around every day, feeling tired and worried. Dabao and Xiaobao only needed to call them "Mom" and they would get the house.
If Lin Xiangnan wasn't much older than him, he would have wanted to be Lin Xiangnan's godson.
Lin Xiangxi went along to look at houses, thinking that Lin Xiangnan was buying houses for Dabao and Xiaobao, but who knew that he bought an extra house and was planning to buy another one.
If you buy things this way, even ten or twenty thousand dollars won’t be enough.
He asked curiously, "Sister, don't you want to get a patent and start a company? Why don't you spend money slowly and save some money for preparation? Research and development costs money, patent application costs money, and registering a company in Hong Kong also costs money..."
Without counting the expenses, Lin Xiangxi felt the pain in his wallet. His sister made money, but she was also good at spending money. Her income level only increased by one point, but Lin Xiangnan's consumption level dared to increase by two points...
"Isn't this too busy? I'll talk to you after I'm done with this period of work." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help scratching his head, "There are so many things to do. It's very annoying."
"Then you have to hurry up. I'll be in Beijing during the summer vacation and can help you with some things. When I go back to work, who can you rely on?!" Lin Xiangxi, a younger brother, spoke with the aura of an older brother.
He said very confidently: "Looking around, I am the only reliable person in this family. My brother-in-law and eldest brother are not as reliable as me."
This summer, Dabao and Xiaobao were bribed very well. When they heard Lin Xiangxi's passionate speech, they applauded crazily.
"My uncle is the best, my uncle is mighty..."
Being flattered by Dabao and Xiaobao, Lin Xiangxi skillfully took out money from his pocket and distributed pocket money to Dabao and Xiaobao, "You know how to praise, praise more, I love to hear it."
"You look like you're going to be cheated out of your pension when you're old, how can you be trusted?" Lin Xiangnan said disdainfully, "When things get really busy, I'm the only one worrying about it."
Huang Xiaogang listened quietly while the siblings were talking.
Hearing Lin Xiangnan say that she was too busy, he took the initiative to offer, "Sister Lin, if you have anything, please tell me. I'm free."
