"Buy a shop? What made you think of buying a shop?"
Chen Jing was taken aback, and then looked at the shops on both sides of the long street: "They all seem to be full, there are no empty shops!"
"Let's find out first and see if there are any bargains. If not, Xiushui Street or Xidan Market are also fine. If there are still no bargains, anything within the Second or Third Ring Road, even if it's a bit out of the way, is fine."
Living in the inner ring road is out of the question. Those who can afford to live in houses around Tiananmen Square are not ordinary people; even with money, they can't buy them.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked in a low voice, "How much capital do we have left? If possible, I'd like to buy a few more shops."
Chen Jing was suspicious, but after thinking for a moment, he replied, "At least 100,000."
Are there that many?
"Of course there is. The courtyard house cost 14,000 yuan, and then we gave Master Lin a 1,000 yuan deposit. The final payment will be made after completion, which will probably be another 1,000 or 2,000 yuan."
“We’ve spent seven or eight hundred over the past month, but we’ve recovered all the payments for the six hundred or so items that were delivered this time, which is more than 26,000. After deducting what we’ve spent, we still have at least 100,000 left.”
Ji Xia was delighted to hear this. Although she didn't know the current value of the shop in Wangfujing, she figured it couldn't possibly be worth 100,000.
She thought 10,000 or 20,000 was acceptable; if it was 20,000 per shop, 100,000 could buy five shops.
She excitedly looked up and whispered, "Go look for them in the next few days and see if there are any shops. If there are, buy a few more."
Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh: "I want Qiu Yu to send over a thousand pieces. The new spring clothes have a lower purchase price, but a thousand pieces would still cost at least 25,000 yuan, right?"
"Why don't you check the market price first?"
Ji Xia pursed her lips, and seeing Chen Jing's disapproving look, she couldn't help but glance around: "I'll explain the reasons to you when we get back. This is definitely a highly profitable venture."
Chen Jing was shocked to hear this. With something on his mind, the two of them did not linger any longer. They found a restaurant, had dinner, and then returned to their rented room.
When I got back to my rented room, it was already dusk, but only a single streetlamp cast a faint yellow glow on the alley, adding a touch of light to the dark alley.
Chen Jing and Ji Xia entered the courtyard, locked the gate behind them, and then returned home.
"Take a rest, I'll boil some water for you and bring it in."
He casually placed two boxes of pastries on the table and turned to go out to boil water.
After a while, he brought in half a bucket of hot water, handed Ji Xia a towel, and then picked up the small wooden basin and went out again.
Ji Xia took the towel, soaked it in the wooden basin, and then wiped it on her face.
The white towel was stained with a faint yellow tinge, which was caused by the dust on my face.
The chill of spring in Beijing in March is gradually fading, but the sandstorms persist. Every day when I come back, my face always feels covered with a layer of sand and dust.
After washing her face and rinsing her body with hot water, she changed into slippers, washed her feet with the hot water, and then leaned back in the wicker chair, letting out a long sigh of relief.
After pondering for a long time, she hesitated, wondering whether she should tell Chen Jing about the development trend.
But how did she know all this? This lie is hard to cover up.
She hesitated for a long time until Chen Jing's deep voice rang in her ears, which startled her back to reality.
"What are you thinking about? Thinking about a shop? Why did you decide to buy a shop here?"
“I want to make branded clothing and open specialty stores. I don’t want my products to only be supplied to street vendors.”
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Chen Jing sat down next to her, a slightly roguish smile on his face, and reached out to hug her.
He leaned down and kissed her ear. Ji Xia blushed and covered his mouth.
"We're talking about serious matters, stop thinking about this all the time. Aren't you going to ask why?"
Chen Jing chuckled softly, his slender fingers deftly unbuttoning his sweater: "Everyone says you're lucky in marriage, cultured and capable. Every idea you've suggested has been good. If you want to buy it, just buy it. I'll listen to you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and cupped the back of her head, his burning lips and tongue sealing her delicate red lips.
A blush crept across Ji Xia's porcelain-like face as she obediently closed her eyes, savoring the pleasurable sensation.
Well, since he has absolute confidence in her, he can confidently unleash his full potential.
In fact, the real estate industry has developed the fastest since the reforms, and it can develop anywhere, whether it's Beijing, Shenzhen, or Shanghai.
However, the capital city remained the political and cultural center of China until later generations, with extremely high commercial value. Investing in shops and real estate there was definitely a good choice.
They've already bought property in Beijing and plan to study there, so there's nothing wrong with buying a few more shops.
However, as she was being pinned down and indulged in her desires, a thought arose in her mind.
Chen Jing has a much better grasp of economics than she does. Giving him some hints and letting him fully utilize his abilities should allow him to develop even better.
Two hours later, she leaned wearily against Chen Jing's chest, breathing slightly heavily.
"I've had several dreams lately, and one word in them is 'reform and opening up'—"
She pretended to be dreaming and told Chen Jing about some important things she knew: the reform and opening up, several cities in the south would become development zones, private and individual businesses would be allowed to start next year to develop the economy, the real estate market would be booming, and she even briefly mentioned the housing prices in the Olympic Village.
Upon hearing about the dream, Chen Jing looked at her in surprise, listening quietly as he compared it to his own dream.
Several months ago, Chen Jing would occasionally have strange dreams. In his dreams, he was doing well, and he seemed to have seen some of the things Ji Xia mentioned in his dreams before.
So, what kind of fate is this between them? They both have similar dreams. Is this a sign from heaven, or are they some kind of chosen ones, destined for greatness?
