Buying a house requires money, and Zhang Mingtu has no shortage of money. Another indispensable thing is a real estate agent.
The pawnshop is the intermediary of this era.
Basically, all kinds of trading brokers will get involved, and there are good and bad ones among them.
A widely circulated saying is that people who work in carriages, boats, and inns should be killed even if they are innocent.
It is easy to imagine how unpopular the dentistry industry was during this period, to the point that it even became a proverb.
The trafficking industry is a mixed bag of people. Not only do they buy low and sell high, but they also often get involved in human trafficking, and have connections with all kinds of people from both the black and white worlds.
They are very good at judging people and serving them what they want. If someone has a foreign accent and is very wealthy, he or she will most likely be eaten up by the pawnbroker.
Zhang Mingtu has no shortage of money, and he is also relatively familiar with the pawnshop.
Ordinary people dislike pawnbrokers because they are opportunistic and always try to curry favor with different people.
People who are unaware of the situation will often be badly cheated by them, and the power behind the pawnshops makes it impossible for ordinary people to do anything about it.
But for wealthy and powerful families like Wang and Li, the yahang is quite docile, even to the point of being a bootlicker.
The brokerage firm not only has access to information on rental housing and goods transactions in the city, but also participates in some gray businesses.
For example, in the area of human trafficking, he was very familiar with the families in Jianyi who needed to sell their children, and he even had a deep understanding of many impoverished areas outside Jianyi.
For wealthy and powerful people like the Wang and Li families, many things would be handled by the brokers.
The brokerage firms usually will not and dare not cheat them, so transactions between both parties are usually pleasant.
The brokerage firms like such big shots. Although the commission for such transactions is not high, being able to connect with big shots can often become their network and background.
As for helping those bigwigs buy some servants and acquire some land, that is a very simple matter.
The big shots don't want to get their hands dirty and can't stand seeing the suffering of the world. They have to make a living from their business, so they are good at doing these things. Both sides will benefit from it and be happy.
When Zhang Mingtu thought of the dental clinic, related memories naturally emerged in his mind, or rather, a rough impression of the dental clinic emerged, and he felt even more displeased.
He did not have a very deep impression of the dental clinic. When he recalled these memories, his mind was pounding and the blood vessels in his brain were exposed.
I want to remember more clearly, but it is difficult to get more memories, I only have a vague impression.
Decades of memories piled up together, and it is ultimately impossible to understand everything clearly.
Zhang Mingtu didn't mind.
Just in this situation, Zhang Mingtu feels quite stressed.
His behavior is very different from before. He is extremely cautious and careful.
If all his memories were returned to his body, Zhang Mingtu was sure that his personality would change drastically. The fact that the Zhang family was exterminated alone was enough to drive a person crazy.
The situation shown in the previous "Cause and Effect" chapter was quite tragic. Zhang Mingtu could feel a cold and brutal emotion from the self-confession he wrote, which was full of self-destructive impulses.
Zhang Mingtu, who experienced such cruel and tragic changes, has a completely different mentality from Zhang Mingtu, who now has a fairly good family background and a happy family.
On the contrary, Zhang Mingtu feels that the current state of not receiving all future memories is much better.
Now he only has ten years to live in the future, but it is foreseeable that as Zhang Mingtu's strength and prospects for the future grow.
The more perfect he becomes in his work, the more disasters he will be able to avoid and the longer he will live.
When the time comes, his memories of seventeen years and the memories of the next few decades will collide with each other, and Zhang Mingtu cannot tell which one will have the upper hand.
"It's fine as it is now."
In the study, Zhang Mingtu recalled what he had done in recent days and thought about the next arrangements. Then he sat cross-legged and quietly practiced the Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Having seen the vastness of the world, my own achievements now seem so insignificant.
Early the next morning, Zhang Jishi and his wife hurried to the restaurant. As Yuhuchun's reputation gradually spread, the restaurant became increasingly busy, and the couple were basically too busy to keep up.
However, the days were fulfilling and happy. Zhang Mingtu turned and went to an alley, where Wang Mazi was already waiting.
Even though the medicines related to spiritual practice are no longer needed, Wang Mazi still sends a batch every three days.
After delivering the meal today, I was about to leave when Zhang Mingtu stopped me.
"I need a spacious yard and some quiet."
"this……"
Wang Mazi looked embarrassed. He became a gangster and collected protection fees on the streets. He had accumulated some money over the years, but it was far from enough to buy a house.
Not to mention that he had spent almost all his money recently on practicing martial arts and collecting various herbs.
It is basically impossible to buy a property by force.
But Zhang Mingtu had been very kind to him, and now that he was asked to buy a yard, he had no way of refusing. Just as he was about to agree, he saw something like a yellow stone flying in front of him.
Wang Mazi dodged to the left and when he looked carefully, he found it was a piece of bright yellow gold. His heart skipped a beat and he jumped up to catch the gold in his arms.
The gold was as big as half a fist and quite heavy.
Wang Mazi stroked it left and right. It was the first time I had seen such a big piece of gold. I couldn't help but imitate the ones I had seen before and took a bite. When I saw the row of teeth marks, I was stunned again.
"real?"
"This gold should be enough, the rest is yours..."
Wang Mazi was still in a daze, but he saw that the tall young man with an increasingly imposing temperament had turned around and left.
The gold that is hard to earn in a lifetime is just dirt and stone to that young man.
Such ease and confidence in himself made Wang Mazi more impressed and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"I wonder if my son will be able to be as magnanimous as him in the future. This is what a child of a wealthy family should be like."
…
After dealing with the relevant matters, Zhang Mingtu felt relieved and turned back to the restaurant.
The business has been booming recently, and his parents are a little too busy to handle it. Zhang Mingtu helps out by doing some odd jobs, but he is also worried in his heart.
"With the restaurant's current model, business will only get more prosperous. My parents are already too busy to handle it alone. We should consider hiring some help from the family..."
Thinking back to the future, the Zhang family's restaurant was quite large. If the escorts were injured or sacrificed, the escorts' children could work in the restaurant.
So that their living standards will not drop rapidly due to the fall of the pillar of the family.
At the same time, it can also reduce part of the burden on the family as a whole, and integrate more closely with the Zhang family as a whole, so that many escorts can have no worries.
"You should find a chance to talk to your parents."
Zhang Mingtu was making plans in his mind. While carrying vegetables, fruits and melons into the yard, he was sitting in the hall. He glanced around and saw a familiar figure. His brows immediately frowned.
