auction
The matter of the old department store was put aside for the time being, as Chen Jin had to go back to school to work on the end-of-term meeting for the students.
"The winter vacation is a bit long this year, so we don't have to stay, right?"
Chen Jin looked at the schedule for students' final exams. The latest date was January 23. In previous years, students would start their holidays right after the exams.
"The holiday is early, and the school starts early too. We have to go back to school on the sixth day of the New Year. Students who live far away have to leave home in the third year of the New Year."
Chen Jin looked at Teacher Chang. The winter vacation notice hasn't been announced yet, but Teacher Chang said it so confidently...it should be true.
This year's Chinese New Year is indeed much shorter.
On the 4th, Shen Baichuan took a leave of absence to accompany Ms. Shen to visit his grandfather at Cheng's house.
Chen Jin wanted to ask him about the situation, but he did not return to the small villa that day, and probably stayed in the villa in Jingshan Park.
There was no point in calling to ask, so Chen Jin suppressed his curiosity.
Because Shen Baichuan said that his father and two uncles would also be there with their wives and children that day, and he was afraid that if Ms. Shen came, the old man would think of Shen Baichuan again and give Shen Baichuan some things.
Old Man Cheng had given some to Shen Baichuan once before, but Shen Baichuan said that those things were only to scare outsiders and were actually of no practical benefit. This old man was too cunning.
Since he couldn't ask for the time being, Chen Jin just put the matter aside. The next day, on the 5th, before Chen Jin even left the house, she was bombarded with calls from her uncle, urging her to come over early.
"No, it doesn't start until nine o'clock. Why are you in such a hurry, uncle?" Chen Jin said, picking out a long coat from the closet and calling Daju to follow him downstairs.
"Come over early, I'll introduce you to some friends. I can also help you find out about the old department store."
Chen Jin's eyes lit up. If it was for this matter, then she would be very diligent.
"I'm leaving now."
It was drizzling outside. Chen Jin lied to Daju and said he was going out to work today, and then successfully kept Daju at home.
I went out with an umbrella and just happened to meet Aunt He coming back from buying groceries.
"Teacher Chen, why are you leaving home so early for work?" Usually, she leaves home at 7:55, but today she left home at 7:30?
However, this is just a casual greeting, which means basically the same as "Have you eaten?"
Aunt He looked at the coat she was wearing today in surprise and said, "Teacher Chen is also wearing Baiyou's clothes? I went with my daughter to buy the same one last week."
"It seems that we both have good taste." Chen Jinle smiled. It's good that so many people are wearing the same style, which means that Baiyou's clothes are selling well.
Winter comes later in the south, so new winter models are not launched until early December. Two series of winter clothes were launched. When they were first launched, the coat she was wearing and the clothes in the same series did not sell well. But once the weather turned cold, this series sold like hot cakes.
All four stores were almost sold out, and several franchisees called to urge for delivery.
The cooperating processing factories are now able to handle just their orders. But for additional orders, Geng Xin chose other processing plants and added two more processing plants to cooperate with.
Her aunt even called her to say she did a good job.
His tail almost flew up to the sky again.
Chen Jin's car drove into the rain. Aunt He stood there and watched for a while, then smiled and shook her head.
Aunt Liu from Professor Kong's family also came back at this time and asked her what she was laughing at.
"What can it be? I just talked to Teacher Chen for a few words. He said that there is a new clothing store that is suitable for young people. Teacher Chen also gave me a membership card."
"Hey, which clothing store is this? Do you have clothes for boys? I'm going back to my hometown for the New Year and I want to buy some clothes for my son."
"Yes, of course. They have men's and women's clothing. It's very lively. Let's go there during our break time someday. They say there are only four stores now. The one in our North City District is not open yet. The one in East City District is the closest..."
Chen Jin didn't expect that after giving out a membership card, Aunt He would recommend it to everyone she met.
She didn't think much about it, and Aunt He didn't know that she was the boss of Baiyou.
It is easiest to get into an accident when driving on a rainy day, so Chen Jin always seeks safety and prefers to drive slowly.
We were almost at the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau, so we bought some hot buns nearby to fill our stomachs.
Suddenly I remembered that I attended an auction last year also in January. Is this a good month for making money?
Chen Jin was amused by his own thoughts.
I don’t know if this is a good month for making money, but it was just a drizzle and suddenly turned into a downpour. Oh my God, he changes his face at will.
Fortunately, she drove over nearby.
"I told you to go out early, and you almost got caught in a heavy rain." As the uncle said this, he patted her wet shoulders and said that she was frozen into a white ghost, and asked her to go over and drink some hot water.
Chen Jin walked to the side and took out a small mirror from her bag to see...she knew what a white-faced ghost looked like. It was indeed a little scary, very white. She just parked the car and walked over when she realized how cold it was today, and the clothes she was wearing were not warm enough.
I didn't feel anything at home, and when I drove over here I felt even less that the temperature outside had dropped again. So now she was shivering a little, and quickly went to the reception desk next door to get a cup of hot water to warm herself up.
After taking a break, Chen Jin put on some lipstick and looked much better. Then he went to his uncle's side.
Last year, I came to an auction with my uncle, and people asked me if she was their biological daughter.
This year, when I went with my uncle to greet his friends, they all said, "Old Chen, you finally brought your niece out for a walk today?!"
My uncle's friends meet so many people in a year, how could they remember a little girl like her whom they only met once? It's more likely that they would remember my second cousin.
Originally, my second cousin was going to come too, but Zhuang Yao was about to give birth and was admitted to the hospital. My second cousin was worried about her, so he stayed in the hospital to accompany her.
My eldest cousin said he could come and help, but my eldest uncle refused. There's nothing to help with, he said. We've already decided on the land we've chosen and the budget we've set.
But why did these people know that she was their uncle’s niece as soon as they saw her, and also knew that her name was Chen Jin?
Well, it’s all thanks to her boastful uncle.
Now, in the eyes of these elders, she is a rising star who is smart, far-sighted and capable. In time, her clothing brand will be famous in southern province...
Help! Toes digging the ground!
Chen Jin felt very embarrassed, but she did not forget that she must not embarrass her uncle. Whenever someone praised her, she would just say modestly, "No, no," "You're joking," and then hand over her business card with both hands.
The uncle took Chen Jin to chat with an old friend of his who used to be the vice president of a department store. The two old foxes chatted and laughed for a while, and Chen Jin, who was acting as the mascot next to them, got the information he wanted.
Lawyer Mo and Nie Rong came here together.
Lawyer Mo is the consulting lawyer of my uncle's company. Nie Rong was not called by Chen Jin, he was invited by someone else.
Chen Jin also knew this person, Xiong Jiahao.
"Teacher Chen, Brother Chuan didn't come today?"
"No, he didn't say he was coming to auction the land. I guess he's back to school now."
"Oh." Xiong Jiahao smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you and Brother Chuan are also interesting. You are teachers as your main job and you run a company as your side job."
To be honest, he and his other friends found it quite incomprehensible. Isn’t it enough to earn your share of the money from the company?
He could only say that these two people really had a passion for education.
"It's OK. More work means more fun."
The main reason is that they are not busy enough, otherwise, how could they possibly handle two jobs? !
Moreover, she and Shen Baichuan felt that going to school to work every day was also quite happy.
Oh, mainly she's happy.
Shen Baichuan came to NTU to teach after being recommended by his senior when he was studying abroad, and it just so happened that the company he started was also computer-related.
She is completely different. She just wants to find a job so that she can feel at ease. And I’m a little reluctant to give up halfway, I have to finish teaching this class of students.
Who would have thought that she would actually start a company? !
More jobs, more excitement?
Xiong Jiahao had a complicated expression. Teacher Chen and Brother Chuan’s ideas were really different from those of ordinary people.
“Which plot of land do you want to shoot?”
Chen Jin spread his hands and pointed at his uncle who was chatting with someone not far away, and said, "I came out with my uncle. I don't plan to get involved."
Xiong Jiahao was a little confused and confirmed again: "Are you just accompanying your uncle to take a look?"
"Not entirely." Chen Jin added, "My uncle said that I'm lucky and asked me to come over and give him some bad advice."
"......" Xiong Jiahao touched his head and thought: Why does this sound so much like Brother Chuan's tone?
Nie Rong stood by and tried hard to keep a decent smile. He was asked to come here to help today and had to be professional, so when he saw Chen Jin here, he restrained himself a lot and didn't come over to chat with her (gossip).
Chen Jin actually wanted to talk to Nie Rong about the old department store, but today Nie Rong came to help Xiong Jiahao as a consultant, so she decided not to disturb Nie Rong's work.
There were still more than forty minutes before the entrance time. Chen Jin looked at his watch and went to his uncle to ask the village chief why they had not arrived yet.
My uncle also scanned the people who came and went to the side to make a phone call.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jin felt nervous when he saw that his uncle's expression looked strange when he called back, "Could something have happened?"
"Chen Wenzhen was driving too fast and drove into a ditch. He is fine."
"......"
Chen Jin suddenly thought of something else and asked hurriedly, "Is the village chief okay?"
My uncle laughed and said, "It's okay. The village chief just happened to meet Liu Mantang from Qiaoxi Village at the gate of the community. He came here in Liu Mantang's family car. He will be here soon."
"Oh, that's good."
Two representatives came from Qiaodong Village: the village chief and the old party secretary. The brothers Chen Wensong and Chen Wenshi came along as a bystander. Chen Wenzhen drove into a ditch and has been sent to the hospital. They said he hit his head, so we need to go see a doctor.
There are quite a lot of representatives from Qiaoxi Village, but they all have the surname Liu. It seems that people with other surnames did not get involved, or people with the surname Liu did not intend to bring them along.
Among them, Liu Mantang and Old Man Liu both came over.
Oh, and there’s Liu Shisheng too. He was also called over. Ask him to come over to support the occasion?
The fewest people came from Mutang Village, only Old Man Zhang’s family.
Well, everyone from the three demolished villages gathered together.
"Third sister, are you planning to buy land for yourself today?" The old branch secretary looked at Chen Jin with scrutiny.
Everyone in the village has already agreed that, except for Chen Bagu's family and Chen Jin's family, everyone else is going to invest money together. In the end, the village chief, the old party secretary, and her uncle took the lead.
Now seeing Chen Jin here, the old branch secretary wondered if Chen Jin was planning to buy the land with his own money?
When Chen Jin talked about buying land, he said he had no money. But in the past few months, Chen Jin opened a company and the clothing business is still very hot. How can you say that she has no money now? He doesn't quite believe it.
"No, I said I won't buy it." Chen Jin understood the meaning of the old branch secretary's words at a glance.
Why do I look at her as if she were a traitor? The money is in her own hands, so why does it matter whether she buys it or not? This person is really meddling in other people's business.
Chen Wenshi changed the subject and asked about Chen Jin's current factory in Changhe Town, saying that he also planned to buy a factory.
Chen Jin told him everything he knew, and finally reminded him, "Uncle Wen Shi, if you go to buy now, you won't be able to buy anything good. The price is bound to go up, and there are still many people eyeing it. If you want to buy, you'd better do it as soon as possible. Someone has already taken over a large factory."
Chen Wensong's eyes widened, "So popular?!"
After saying this, he felt regretful again. When he heard his third sister say that the factory could be bought for 200,000 yuan, he was tempted. But his third sister also said that it was not easy to convert industrial land into commercial land. He thought so too. He didn't expect that the place has become so popular now because of the planned East Station.
I regret it! Otherwise, you should have bought it earlier and you can make some money by reselling it now!
The people in Qiaoxi Village were standing nearby, their ears perked up, listening to everything Chen Jin said.
Everyone is confused.
Some people were thinking: Why is it Chen Jin again? ! She gets lucky every time!
With this in mind, some people started to think about following Chen Jin to buy land.
Old man Zhang's family didn't dare to get close to the Chen family, because after the divorce between my aunt and Zhang Leye, they treated the Zhang family as air.
Old man Zhang's eldest son muttered and said, "I said that the second son was wrong in the beginning. We had a good family, but now it has become like this. Chen Wenqiang is also resentful of him. Look at him. He will never tell us any good news about buying land..."
If they were still relatives, would Chen Wenqiang not help them? Now, not only are we not relatives anymore, we are enemies too.
The key point is that after the divorce, the second son’s family situation didn’t get better. If there is chaos all day long, the woman you marry later will not be a worry-free person.
Old man Zhang glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you tell anyone when the second son got divorced? Don't talk about it now. Even if they are relatives, they may not leak the news!"
Otherwise, wouldn’t Chen Wenqiang’s brother-in-law not have received any help? I heard that Chen Wenqiang no longer pays attention to the Gu family.
Chen Wenqiang is nice to his niece.
Old man Zhang glanced at Chen Jin, who was surrounded and talking, and snorted in his heart.
Old man Liu stood not far away and looked at Chen Jin, feeling mixed emotions.
I thought that since the house was demolished, I wouldn't have to see Chen Jin showing off anymore. When the house is demolished, it will still depend on how proud she is.
Who can blame him for having such a good uncle? !
Thinking of this, Old Man Liu glared at Liu Shisheng with dissatisfaction again. Only Liu Shisheng felt depressed. What was the point of bringing up the past?
When the time came, staff members organized people to enter the venue.
"Third sister." The uncle waved at her, "Third sister, let's go."
“Here I come.”
Chen Jin hurried to catch up with his uncle.
Chen Jin was a worldly-wise man, and knew the process of land auctions. He was now flipping through the booklet.
Her uncle asked her to choose two pieces of land from the five selected pieces of land, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these pieces of land for her.
"......You have figured it out well, right? You already have the answer, why are you asking me again?"
The uncle glared at her and said, "You should choose carefully if I tell you to."
"Oh. Let me take a look."
The uncle smiled with satisfaction. Less than half a minute later, he said, "Don't do any random selections. Choose carefully."
"......OK."
Chen Jin noticed that people from Qiaoxi Village looked at her from time to time, and wondered if these people were trying to steal the land she wanted to buy? !
When I told my uncle about this guess, he laughed and said, "Let them take it away. You are not buying the land anyway, so what are you afraid of?"
As for my uncle, he smiled and nodded at Zhuang Youcun who was not far away.
In addition to Uncle Zhuang, my uncle also found someone else to participate in the auction, using the name of my second cousin.
Let some people watch.
See if they can stare out flowers.
