Chapter 257 Going South to Pan for Gold
Lu Xiang and her friends flew to Shenzhen.
This is still a small fishing village. When I got off the plane, it looked smaller than the provincial capital.
Those who come here specifically to pan for gold will be disappointed at first sight. It took a long time to drive from the airport, and there was still wasteland all around.
Lu Xiang didn't see any signs of the city until she reached the city center.
They settled down first. Lu Xiang didn't even bother to rest or eat, and went straight to the residence.
There are no real estate agencies here, so if you want to rent a house you have to ask around.
Lu Xiang found a tube-shaped building in this area of houses and saw someone washing things downstairs.
I went to this aunt and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to rent a house here?" The aunt saw that she had an accent from another place and said, "Yes."
Then he shouted in his hometown dialect, and a fashionable woman came over and looked at Fu Qinhui a few more times.
Fu Qinhui's appearance, figure and temperament make her stand out wherever she goes.
The woman didn't forget her business and said, "I have three houses. Let me show you!"
This building is all hers. As soon as they heard about the opening of the special zone, they all came to rent houses. Hers is a newly built building, so the houses rented out very quickly.
The woman showed Lu Xiang the house and praised her, "You have good taste! There's no better house than this within a ten-mile radius!"
Because the house is newly built, the price is a little higher than the surrounding ones.
The landlady said there were originally over 40 rooms here, but almost all of them were rented out. Now there are only three left.
One room is on the top floor and is very sunny in the summer.
There is another room on the first floor, and the toilet smells quite strong.
Lu Xiang chose a middle floor, which was also the most expensive. The rent was 23 yuan a month.
The payment here is made every six months.
Lu Xiang had prepared some cash before coming, and immediately settled the deal and signed the contract.
The houses here are a bit like apartments in later generations. The bed is right at the entrance, and the kitchen and bathroom are two separate narrow areas.
Probably to facilitate renting, there is not much decoration. It looks spacious and bright when you enter, but in fact there is only a cabinet and a bed.
As the landlady said, it is already a good condition in the local area.
But for Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui, it was very, very simple. Whether in the city or in the village, their houses were very comfortable.
The house in the village is a Chinese-style villa, and the house in the county town is a garden house. This is the first time I have ever lived in a tube-shaped building.
After signing the contract, the landlord said that they had to pay for water and electricity bills themselves, and went to get the water and electricity bills and receipts, and they could deposit some money in advance.
After everyone left, Lu Xiang relaxed. No matter what the house looked like, it would be their home in the future.
Suddenly, Lu Xiang screamed: "Ah!!!" and then hid in Fu Qinhui's arms.
Fu Qinhui hugged Lu Xiang and looked in the direction of her scream. There was a thumb-sized black bug on the ground.
Fu Qinhui went to fight immediately.
Lu Xiang was still in shock that there were actually bugs here.
Fu Qinhui said, "How about this. I'll go buy some insecticide and spray the whole place inside and out. Then we'll close the doors and windows tightly and suffocate the place for a few days. We'll move to a guesthouse outside first, and then move back in once the smell has dissipated!"
Lu Xiang said, "That's the only way." If she saw one bug, there would be countless more hiding in the corners. Lu Xiang's scalp tingled at the mere thought.
The two of them went out to find a guesthouse. Passing by a small shop, they ordered some fried rice noodles. Perhaps they were hungry from the flight, the food tasted quite delicious.
I was able to stay at the guesthouse only after showing my marriage certificate, household registration booklet and certificate to the comrades there.
Lu Xiang immediately borrowed the phone at the guesthouse and called the village.
As expected, her family was always thinking about her. As soon as the phone in the village rang, Xiao Cailian answered it.
Xiao Cailian asked, "How are you guys doing over there?"
Lu Xiang said, "I've already rented a house, it's pretty good. I'll take you guys over to visit someday!"
Xiao Cailian said, "We don't. We have to spend money to eat outside. It's not as good as the village!"
Fu Qinhui also took the phone and said a few words.
Xiao Cailian finally felt relieved when she heard the two people's voices. She said, "Okay, okay. Let's stop talking. The phone bill is quite expensive!" and hung up in a hurry.
Lu Xiang took a look and saw that the number displayed was exactly fifty-nine seconds.
Fu Qinhui asked Lu Xiang to rest here while he bought some insecticide and went back to deal with it.
Although Lu Xiang was tired, she was curious as she had just arrived and walked around.
I saw a primary school not far away.
Lu Xiang's heart moved. It would be even better if she could bring Fu Xinian over, so that their family of three could be reunited here.
But after asking carefully, I found out that the teaching staff in the primary schools here are also very poor. Before the establishment of the special economic zone, this place was just a small fishing village.
That's fine. Besides, my child is already attending school there! I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt if he transfers again.
At this moment, Fu Qinhui's pager rang. Lu Xiang took a look and saw it was her godmother Fu Zhi, asking her to reply.
Lu Xiang immediately went downstairs to make another phone call.
Fu Zhi said: "When did you come? You didn't even give us a message in advance. If I hadn't called the village, they wouldn't have known you were coming."
Lu Xiang gave an address.
About an hour later, Fu Zhi came over in a hurry.
Fu Zhi also came here after hearing about the planning of the special economic zone, and she opened a supermarket here.
Supermarkets have a significant impact on the local area wherever they are located. Although they're foreign businesses, they've adapted well. It's a busy time right now.
But when Fu Zhi heard that Lu Xiang was coming, she hurried over to see her and asked, "What are you planning to do here?"
Lu Xiang said, "Qin Hui also wants to open a factory and is currently investigating. I'll help him. After he gets things sorted out, I also want to open a snack bar."
Fu Zhi didn't say anything for a while. He knew it wasn't easy for two people to make such a decision.
After all, Lu Xiang had accumulated a lot of experience in the county. Now everything was starting from scratch, and it was difficult for them to start from scratch with their feet on the ground.
Fu Zhi said, "Everything else is secondary. I have something important to tell you. I'm optimistic about a stock recently. You should go to the stock exchange and open an account. I think this stock can make more money than anything else!"
Then Fu Zhi wrote down all the stock trading numbers.
Lu Xiang knew that the stock market was booming at this time, and it was like picking up money for free. Whoever got in would make money.
Lu Xiang said, "Am I qualified to open an account?"
Fu Zhi said, "Go ask at the stock exchange. If that doesn't work, I know someone who can help you open one! Try to save as much as possible, maybe 30,000 or 50,000! If you don't have any, I can lend you some."
Fu Zhike only has Lu Xiang as his goddaughter, and he treats her very well.
She bought the stock a month ago at $3.50, and now it's up to $8. It's gone up so much in just one month. And it's still rising.
Seeing that the price was rising, he quickly persuaded Lu Xiang and others to invest.
Lu Xiang said: "Okay!"
Fu Zhi also brought some things for Lu Xiang, which were all household supplies.
Fu Zhi said: "Anyway, I'm here, we have someone to look after!"
Lu Xiang said, "When I have settled my family, I will invite you to my house for dinner."
Fu Zhi smiled and said, "I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time, and I miss it! You guys have a lot of things to do here, are you busy? I'll be leaving first, remember to give Qin Hui my best wishes!"
Lu Xiang said, "Don't worry!" and then Fu Zhi left.
