The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala ended amidst the sound of firecrackers, symbolizing the passing of another Year of the Dragon.
The TV presenter was full of passion, while the four people in front of the TV were drunk and staggering.
One night of wine, one night of sorrow.
Some worries cannot be dispelled by money, nor can they be erased by time.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
It wasn't until noon that the group began to make a move.
They were hungry.
After a quick tidy-up, the four men got busy cooking.
Erpi complained as he worked.
"Damn, this house really can't function without a woman. Looking at you three telephone poles, I have no appetite."
"Tch, that's what happens when you're born short. If you ever find a wife who's over 1.65 meters tall, you'll have to look up to her!"
"Damn, I wasn't talking about height, I was talking about women, women who can cook!"
"Come on, I think you just need someone to warm your bed. Spring will be here after the New Year."
Su Wu and Erpi bickered, as if they had returned to their prison life in their previous life, which was one of their few moments of happiness.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go out and pay New Year's visits, but unfortunately, none of the four of them needed to.
This is awkward; this year's New Year celebration is not proper.
To make up for everyone's disappointment, Su Wu specially prepared three large red envelopes.
He took an aluminum basin and placed it in front of the group.
"Let's have a pre-meal activity. I'll reluctantly play the role of an elder. You all wish each other a Happy New Year, and I'll give you lucky money."
"Damn it, if you're going to offer New Year's greetings, why are you putting a basin in there?"
"Kowtowing is proper; New Year's greetings should have some ritual!"
There was no way he would kowtow; Su Wu was just joking to lighten the mood.
After all, Erpi was sighing and groaning, which made the atmosphere a bit dull.
After distributing the red envelopes, the four of them inevitably engaged in a drinking contest, eventually becoming completely drunk.
When they woke up the next day, they found that the aluminum basin was dented.
Looking at their foreheads, each one was redder than the last.
Erpi, in particular, had a big bump on his head.
Su Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Erpi, what did you do last night? Did you perform the wedding ceremony?"
Erpi shook his head. "Impossible, there aren't any girls here. Holy crap, what's this?"
As they were talking, Erpi exclaimed in surprise and pulled out a full ten red envelopes from his stomach.
Each red envelope was stuffed full, containing at least several thousand yuan.
Su Wu looked on in astonishment, "Holy crap, whose house did you rob? There's so much here!"
"I don't know, I have no memory of it, what happened?" Erpi was also completely bewildered.
As a result, after a long deliberation by the four of them, the truth finally came to light.
That is, Su Wu spent 100,000 yuan last night, and the other three almost died from their injuries.
While others visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, they indulge in a life of debauchery.
For several days in a row, the four of them stayed at home until they had drunk all the wine they had drunk during the New Year, and even drank the only bottle of alcohol in the house.
On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Wu was so scared when he saw the bottle in Erpi's hand that it was completely empty that he almost peed his pants.
If the others hadn't been alright, he would have called an ambulance.
“I said, you can’t drink from today onwards, or you’ll have to go down to the underworld to drink Meng Po’s soup to sober up.”
"Besides, we have things to do after the fifth day of the new year. Let's all relax today. You've all drunk so much you're unrecognizable."
After Su Wu's earnest persuasion, they finally returned to normal, and the New Year was considered over.
The seventh day of the first lunar month.
After resting for three whole days, the group finally regained their energy and arrived at the office building of Ruyang Real Estate, which Erpi had prepared before the New Year.
Jiang Sifa and Zheng Daren were also present.
After a brief introduction, Su Wu began to assign tasks for the new year.
"Jiang Sifa assisted Manager Wang Lijun in first establishing Ruyang Investment, and Ruyang Food, Ruyang Real Estate, Ruyang Electronics, and Ruyang Security were all subsidiaries under the group."
“From now on, Wang Lijun will also be Erpi, who will be the general manager of Ruyang Food. Wang Hu will temporarily be the head of Ruyang Real Estate, Wang Bing will be the head of Ruyang Security, and I will be in charge of Ruyang Electronics for the time being.”
"Next, Wang Hu will be working with Mr. Zheng to promote our real estate project. We'll give you 5 million yuan for the time being. Of course, the legal department will also assist you."
"Wang Bing, get the security team up as soon as possible. Construction at Ruyang Electronics will begin soon, and we can't afford any mistakes."
"As for Erpi, you can handle it yourself. Just do what you're supposed to do."
Su Wu was neither a qualified businessman nor a qualified boss.
He could only make simple divisions of labor; he couldn't consider anything more specific.
He's now hoping Li Zhineng can sort out the management of the electronics company for him, otherwise he'll really be at a loss.
After assigning them their tasks, Su Wu took Jiang Sifa to meet another group of people.
This batch is GMP's design team, and it would be best to add "predecessor" before that.
Su Wu chose GMP because it is an international architectural design firm that is well-known in China and has participated in many designs in Beijing, such as the Zhongguancun Cultural Plaza.
Tianjin is close to Beijing, so hanging up a sheep's head like this would be more convincing.
The selection of some retired personnel was to save costs, and also to recruit them.
He has always had the personality of either not doing something at all, or doing it to the best of his ability. Since he was going to enter the real estate industry, he was determined to do his best, at least in Tianjin.
Because his salary and benefits were high enough, the conversation naturally went very smoothly.
After establishing their intention to cooperate, Su Wu handed over a simple planning proposal to the designers.
His large-scale development project is named Modern City.
This is the architectural layout and structure he planned based on his memory. It focuses on intelligence and green environmental protection, and covers all the service facilities surrounding the residents, such as medical care, education, large shopping malls, and complexes.
Everything else was fine, but when they saw those intelligent design concepts, they were all dumbfounded.
This thing hasn't been realized in China, or even anywhere else.
The concept of smart home, which includes smart lighting, smart electronic door locks, smart toilets, and so on, has left designers both surprised and speechless.
Su Wu, however, didn't care and laughed, "Don't worry about these things. We at Ruyang Electronics can definitely achieve this. Rest assured."
He wasn't joking; he was absolutely confident.
In his view, the so-called intelligent home management system is nothing more than an integrated circuit board, and it is not truly intelligent; it is just a gimmick.
Electronic locks weren't difficult for him either; with the information he had, he could easily create one.
As for smart toilets, that's even simpler. He knew that China had already started producing them in 2003, specifically in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
When his modern city construction is nearly complete, domestically produced smart toilets will also be available.
Of course, all of this is just a gimmick; whether or not residents use it is up to them.
However, he believed that the design concept of the third-generation residences in Modern City was enough to impress everyone.
