Zhao Ting took a look. She knew a bit about her friend Jiang Yue's abilities. After looking at the cars, her eyes lit up as she was attracted by the cute ones. After she finished looking, Jiang Yue continued, "My modifications are based on our girls' aesthetics, focusing on appearance. You can also hire some professionals to do some performance modifications."
"Your family sells cars, so you know that more and more people are buying cars these days. This industry has some potential. I won't make you rich, but it'll be enough to support yourself."
"Also, opening a modification shop requires a larger space. It's best to buy the land so that even if the modification shop goes out of business, you can still make a profit by selling the land."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Zhao Ting didn't say anything. When she looked up, she saw that Zhao Ting had tears streaming down her face. She rushed over to hug Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue reached out and pressed her head down. Zhao Ting struggled and whimpered, "Yue'er, you're so good to me. I'll repay you with my body."
"roll!"
The two joked around for a while, and Zhao Ting asked about some details. Jiang Yue told her everything she could, emphasizing, of course, the most important thing was to abide by the law.
After Zhao Ting had learned more, she said to Jiang Yue, "Yue'er, you don't have a car in your garage yet, right? Once the modification shop opens, I'll give you two to fill your garage. I can't stay with you today, I have to go and get busy. Wait for my good news."
After saying that, she rushed out. For the next few months, Zhao Ting was so busy that she barely had time to breathe. Jiang Yue was a little unaccustomed to not having Zhao Ting come over for meals every day.
When I came here for dinner a couple of days ago, she told me about the current progress. She said she got some money from her dad, bought a large piece of wasteland, and has already started building the site.
Lately, she's been busy recruiting people and buying equipment every day. She's looking for skilled professionals, which are hard to find these days. And then there's the specialized equipment—you can't just smash things with a hammer, can you?
Hearing that the land had been purchased, Jiang Yue felt relieved. Even if the modification shop was not well managed, having land would provide some security.
Not only Zhao Ting, but also Jiang Yue's close friends, all advised by Jiang Yue to buy houses as soon as possible. Some listened, some didn't, and there was nothing Jiang Yue could do about it.
She had reminded him of everything that needed to be reminded, and had said it more than once. As a friend, she felt that she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a friend by being so attentive to him.
After all, you can't force others to buy. But the good thing is that people of Jiang Yue's generation all have houses in their parents' generation. To put it bluntly, they won't lack housing in the future. The good thing is that more and more people in Jiang Yue's small group are buying houses. After all, there is a role model there. Jiang Yue has bought several houses, and they know about it.
This wasn't something Jiang Yue specifically mentioned; they didn't even know the exact amount Jiang Yue bought.
At least the two apartments near her home and the house where she opened her shop were purchased, and her friends knew about it, so some others followed suit and bought them as well.
As for those who didn't buy, some didn't have the idea, but the vast majority didn't have the money. People think that housing prices were cheap in the 1990s, but that's looking at it from a future perspective. The problem is that wages are low now too.
One day in September, Zhao Ting's car modification shop officially opened. Jiang Yue and her friends went to support her. The shop didn't have any orders yet, but several cars had already started to be modified.
Zhao Ting has already arranged everything. Once the modifications are complete, they'll be displayed at his father's and his father's friends' place, and it shouldn't be difficult to get some orders.
A few days after the modification shop was officially completed, Zhao Ting came to Jiang Yue's house for a meal and said that she had received a big order. Her employee had brought in a rich second-generation who liked cars. Zhao Ting estimated that if this order was done well, there might be a group of wealthy customers, so she planned to personally oversee it for the next two months to ensure that it was done perfectly.
Around National Day, Zhao Ting completed the order from the rich second generation. It can be said that the advertising effect of the live advertisement was very good. From then on, the modification factory was established, and Zhao Ting was less busy than before. She only needed to go to the factory from time to time.
At the same time, Zhao Ting said that she had also given Jiang Yue the car she was going to give her. Jiang Yue didn't want to ask for money for nothing, but Zhao Ting refused to accept it, saying that it was a "contact fee" and that she would give Jiang Yue another nice car in the future, as long as Jiang Yue invited her to dinner a few more times.
Jiang Yue and some friends went to Chengde for a few days during the three-day National Day holiday. They originally wanted to go to the sea, but the seawater was already a bit cold in October and not suitable for swimming. They plan to go next summer.
After the holiday, people went back to work and went back to school. Although Jiang Yue no longer had to sit in the office every day, she still went to the magazine office and had a meal with her old colleagues. The magazine office wasn't doing very well, and the higher-ups were exploring new avenues. She heard they were thinking of moving online, but nothing was confirmed yet.
As November approached, the weather gradually turned colder, and heating was turned on in the middle of the month. Jiang Yue bought several large vats to pickle some sauerkraut. She didn't use a puppet to pickle the sauerkraut; she had already mastered that skill. By the time she finished pickling the sauerkraut, it was already December.
When Bai Ze returned at the end of the year, the dozen or so puppets had earned a small fortune. In addition, they had bought some stocks in the stock account to hold long-term as a guarantee for the future. After Bai Ze was brought back, Jiang Yue felt extremely safe. She always felt that something was missing when he was not around.
In January 1997, Jiang Yue took a road trip. When she returned to Beijing in February, she found two more safes in her study, and a cabinet full of property deeds. After leaving the study, Jiang Yue smiled with satisfaction. She no longer needed to worry about money or make money. With these houses, she could be a landlady for the rest of her life.
Jiang Yue opened the smaller safe and put in some bankbooks, gold bars, and jade jewelry. These were all brought back by Bai Ze. The quality of the bracelets and other jewelry was not as good as those in her space. Jiang Yue was too lazy to mess with the things in her space, so she put them in the safe for easy access and to avoid trouble.
In the following days, Jiang Yue was busy meeting up with her girlfriends and preparing for the New Year. Bai Ze, on the other hand, controlled the puppet to open a real estate agency, mainly responsible for renting out houses. Otherwise, Jiang Yue would have been too busy to handle everything by herself.
After buying the New Year's goods, it was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Jiang Yue and Zhao Ting went shopping in major shopping malls in Beijing. Thanks to Jiang Yue's support, the country's development has been much faster than before, but much slower than in the last century. This is normal. This year, 1997, is only the 48th year since the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 18th year of reform and opening up.
The country's foundation is still too weak, and it is estimated that it is currently working to build up its strength. Moreover, Jiang Yue believes that this process will accelerate. A few days ago, when Bai Ze delivered the documents, the country subtly indicated that more documents could be delivered at once, and that it has been preparing for a take-off in just over a year.
