Chapter 179
It will take some time for the shop certificate to be issued. Jiang Bai, who came to apply for the real estate certificate for the first time, was confused. He had already paid for the house, so why did he have to pay taxes for the real estate certificate? Jiang Bai
was used to being independent. His first reaction was, if he couldn't pay the taxes now, would he not be able to apply for the real estate certificate?
When he knew that he could apply for it at any time, Jiang Bai felt relieved and thought about how to make money.
He had no intention of calling his sister for help. In his opinion, his sister owed such a huge amount of mortgage and had to pay back 10,000 yuan every month. It was impossible for her to have money. So he was anxious every day and was eager to sell clothes to make money for his sister. Except for the 500 yuan mortgage that Jiang Wu paid him every month, he gave all the money from the sale of clothes to Jiang Wu, for fear that she would not be able to pay back the mortgage and the loan sharks and bank would take away her house.
He spent a lot of time in Shanghai, cleaning and checking circuits in Jiang Xi's villa and duplex apartment every now and then. He gradually developed a sense of belonging to both houses. Although they were not his, he had formed an inherent concept that the house belonged to his sister, not the ethereal feeling of floating in the clouds and out of reach of someone else's house as before. The same was true for
Grandpa Jiang. He was always in Shanghai, and when he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but go to his granddaughter's mansion to take a look. The more he looked, the more proud and happy he felt.
He was old and could not work, but he never admitted that he was old. He always felt that people should work until they die.
Selling clothes is such a good job nowadays. He doesn't have to do anything. Customers come and choose by themselves. The prices are fixed and no bargaining is allowed. Not only can he make money, but he can also
help his granddaughter pay off her mortgage. This feeling of being needed makes him feel very motivated every day. He can't help but be motivated. His granddaughter wants him to help run the store and make money to pay off her mortgage. She has such a big house!
Because the clothes in his store are beautiful and the prices are reasonable, school students are willing to come to his store to buy clothes.
Other stores wanted to imitate Jiang Yeye's store, but their cost price was much higher than the clothes in Jiang Yeye's store. In addition, it was common to overcharge customers in this era. Everyone wanted to make money. Over time, Jiang Yeye's store in the back street of Shanghai Polytechnic Institute became a fixed customer.
Of course, more importantly, there was a tall and handsome Jiang Bai here. Many girls went in just to secretly see Jiang Bai, even if they didn't buy clothes.
At that time, the movie "White Snake" was still in theaters, and its box office was about to catch up with "Party A and B" which was released a month earlier. In addition, the release of Xie Fuqiu's horse oil shampoo GG forced a breakthrough in the market that was almost monopolized by foreign shampoo GG, and also made Xie Fuqiu's shampoo begin to enter the vision of the general public.
Xie Fuqiu's horse oil shampoo was originally of good quality, but she was reluctant to promote it before, relying on word of mouth. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. But in this era, a series of foreign companies such as Piao Piao and Head & Shoulders have almost monopolized all consumer levels of the shampoo industry, from cheap to slightly more expensive. Now, with the popularity of "White Snake" during the Chinese New Year, people are not only looking at foreign shampoos when choosing shampoo, but also horse oil shampoo.
The capital market saw the value of Jiang Bai, and two manufacturers found Jiang Bai and wanted to bid for him, and the prices they offered were not low.
They had called the store many times before, but Jiang Bo was in his hometown during the Chinese New Year and didn't answer the calls. It was not until they returned to Shanghai that they contacted Jiang Bo. Jiang Bo was short of money, and when he heard that they were looking for him to take pictures of gg again, he immediately agreed.
His good brother Tong Jingang had been helping him sell clothes during the Chinese New Year. When he heard that he was going to take photos of the porn, he was excited to go along. It wasn't that he wanted to get free rides or anything, he was just interested in such occasions and wanted to get to know more people. In addition, Jiang Bai himself was socially anxious and felt uncomfortable facing these things alone, so Tong Jingang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just take photos, and leave everything else to me!"
Jiang Qing reminded Jiang Bai that it was okay to take photos of the porn, but first of all, you had to look at the product and try it yourself. You could only take photos if it had passed various inspection certificates. You couldn't just take photos for anyone who paid you, and it was important to take care of your reputation.
Jiang Bai is a serious and stubborn person. He thought his sister was right, so he strictly followed Jiang Liu's standards. One project failed, and the other manufacturer complained that Jiang Bai was too much trouble. In the end, the person in charge saw that Jiang Bai was so serious and careful, and thought that his responsible attitude was good for the food industry, so he gave Jiang Bai an extra 2,000 yuan in salary.
Of course, it was not comparable to the tens of millions of yuan in the future, and it was just a little higher than the salary that Xie Fuqiu gave him before.
Even so, Jiang Bai was happy enough. Before the start of the semester, when there was no one in the school and no business in the store, Jiang Bai took two ggs in a row, and happily took the money back to get the property certificate of the store and the duplex apartment that had passed the bank loan review. He held two small notebooks in his hands and smiled from ear to ear. It was not
until he went to the Housing and Construction Bureau in person, paid taxes, went through all the formalities, and got the certificate issued by the government that he finally felt a little bit of reality. He really settled down in this huge and unfamiliar city. Not only did he have a house, but also a store.
Jiang Bai suddenly felt that the ultimate he had been pursuing in his life was all accomplished at once.
He brought Tong Jingang to his duplex apartment, which was still completely unfinished, with a height of 6.2 meters. Standing in the ugly unfinished house with Tong Jingang, he felt that he had never seen such a beautiful house, and every brick and tile of the house belonged to him.
That feeling was very wonderful, just like he had finally found a place to settle down after coming to this world.
The family built such a big house, with his room and his sister's room. Just like when he was a child, he was fully convinced that it was also his home. He cleaned inside and outside. But his parents told everyone: "Now that Songzi's house is built, he got married and had a house, we are relieved. Next is Bozi's house, but there is no rush for Bozi's house. He is only a freshman, and there are at least three years left. Let's save money for two years, hold the eldest's betrothal gift and wedding first, and then build the second and third houses. My life's mission will be completed."
Jiang Bai didn't say anything after hearing this, but he understood in his heart that such a big house was not his, and the room that belonged to him was not his either. One day, he would move out of there.
That house belonged to his eldest brother Jiang Song.
Now, he has his own house and his own nest.
He touched the rough wall, his face full of excitement.
He already knew how to decorate it, just like his sister's apartment!
But the living room doesn't need to be so big, it would be a waste, he wants to make use of the upstairs and downstairs space and turn them all into rooms, so that when he gets married and has children, they don't have to sleep in the same bed like he and his elder brother do, fighting every day. There are
also rooms for his sister and grandfather!
Jiang Bo was influenced by the feudal ideology of his hometown and thought that supporting the elderly was a boy's job, so he never thought about letting Grandpa Jiang live with Jiang Xi in the future. In his mind, the responsibility of taking care of Grandpa and supporting him in his old age was his. Grandpa would of course live with him. More importantly, he felt that his sister was not very good at taking care of people, and he was stronger and better at taking care of people. In the future, he would be much more capable than his sister in cleaning and washing for Grandpa!
He felt strange when he thought that Jiang Xi would take Grandpa to live with her family after she got married.
There were no elderly people living with their daughters in their place.
Tong Jingang touched Jiang Bai's house and was also amazed: "Oh my goodness! Damn, you are so dishonest. When did you buy the house and didn't tell your buddy?"
Jiang Bai was a little embarrassed and said, "I bought it almost two years ago. It was a pre-sale house. When I bought it, it was still a wasteland. There was nothing here. I thought my sister had met a scammer at the time. Not only did I not take it seriously, but I also had to pay 500 yuan a month for the mortgage."
He scratched his head. He was silent and low-key. Even for his best brother, he didn't feel real before the house was delivered, let alone telling Tong Jingang.
Tong Jingang had lived in Jiang Xi's apartment before, but he didn't expect that his brother had bought a house here at some point.
He originally thought that his brother, who knew nothing like him and only cared about eating and drinking, had suddenly bought a house and a shop in Shanghai. This made him feel very strange.
He was still stupid, but his brother had already taken off without him.
This immediately made him feel a sense of urgency.
He immediately jumped up and said, "I don't care. If you buy it here, I will buy it here too. I can still have a free meal at your house in the future!"
He almost had such a picture in his mind. He took his partner and future children to Jiang Bai's house for a free meal. Jiang Bai was good at cooking and cooked a big table of delicious food. The women sat together to watch TV and chat, the children played by themselves, and he and Jiang Bai, as well as his good friends from college, sat together to drink, brag and chat!
Just thinking about it made him feel happy!
He has strong social skills and can get along well with people everywhere. He made new friends in college and wanted to introduce them to Jiang Bo, so that he would not be afraid of not having friends to play basketball with in the future!
He played a supporting role for a summer vacation last year. In the past two years, he often sold clothes to Jiang Xi, and Jiang Xi did not let him down. According to the commission of the salary he gave to Jiang Bo, he got about 500 yuan each time. After two years, he also saved a lot of money.
Seeing that his brother bought a house here, he also wanted to move in and immediately ran to the sales office.
It's just that now there is no zero down payment. However, due to the Asian financial crisis last year and this year, the housing market is stagnant. There are still many vacant apartments in Phase 3. After visiting his brother's rough, Tong Jingang didn't care about anything and also asked for a house in the same building as Jiang Bo. Because he didn't have enough money, he chose a house with a smaller area than Jiang Bo's. In addition to the public stalls, the price of the house has not increased much compared to 1996 and 1997, but it has actually increased.
But he is a single man who only wants to play a small role in a movie or TV series during the summer vacation. He doesn't care about the size of the house he lives in. Besides, no matter how small it is, can it be smaller than his home in Wu Cheng? His home in Wu Cheng is only more than 60 square meters. Even so, it is considered large in his hometown. His family of three lives in it.
His house is at least 90 square meters, divided into two floors, that is 170 or 180 square meters, and it comes with a balcony and terrace, why would he need a bicycle?
It just so happened that Jiang Bai had not used up all the money from shooting two GGs, so he borrowed the remaining part from Jiang Bai.
He and Jiang Bai have been brothers for many years, and they are used to being close friends. He is not shy with Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai is not shy with him either. Seeing that he is short of money and he has some, he lent it to him. The most important thing is that the two of them bought houses in the same place, and they can go out together to drink and play ball in the future. They are very happy just thinking about it.
Jiang Bai now feels that the future is beautiful and promising. He has his own house, his grandfather is by his side, his sister's house is in the same community as his, the villa area is not far away, and his good friends are not separated. Is there anything happier than this in the world?
Until he accompanied Tong Jingang to complete all the procedures, the two of them were still smiling foolishly, with a beautiful vision of the future on their faces.
Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng are still auditors this semester. They will not be able to officially enroll with the new students until the second half of the year, but they have not missed any of the classes they should attend and the knowledge they should learn. In fact, because they have someone to accompany them, share the same hobbies, values and rhythm, their originally boring life has become quiet and leisurely.
After Jiang Xi invested her money in the stock market, she no longer cared about it, and she didn't keep an eye on it every day. During this period of time, whether it went up or down, it didn't affect her. The only thing that affected her was that "The Years I Was the Commander of the Imperial Guard", which had been serialized for so long, was about to end.
Because all her martial arts works were signed to "Martial Arts" magazine, her current thousand-word income has risen to 460,000. Every month, she has a fixed income of more than 40,000 to 50,000 just from the royalties. All her money before was invested in the stock market. Once "The Commander of the Imperial Guard" is finished, she will either have to start a new work immediately, or her fixed monthly royalties will be cut off.
Once it was cut off, she would have to pay a fixed mortgage of over 10,000 yuan every month.
So she had to start thinking about new works again. For a while, she really didn't know what to write.
