But the twenty yuan and two jin of grain coupons in her hand told her that she had met a very wealthy man today.
He hurriedly took the money and handed over the sign with a big smile, and even loudly announced, "Ten baskets of xiaolongbao, dine-in only."
As soon as Ye Huixian and his group found a seat by the window, a waiter rushed out to serve water and tea, being very attentive.
Yan Xiaonan chuckled to himself. People from Shanghai are really clever; they'll definitely try to sell it to you later.
Sure enough, a woman's voice rang out: "We also have authentic soup dumplings in our shop, would you like two?"
Of the four people, only Yan Aidang couldn't understand Shanghainese. Ye Huixian was worried that Yan Xiaonan wouldn't understand either, and was just about to ask if they wanted soup dumplings.
Yan Xiaonan replied in Shanghainese, "Okay, give me four."
The waiter went to get the soup dumplings, which cost one yuan each, but no food coupons were required.
Ye Huixian looked at Yan Xiaonan in surprise: "You, Nannan, how come you can speak Shanghainese?"
Yan Xiaonan replied calmly, "Ye Chenming taught me. When we're together, we all speak Shanghainese, and he corrects us if we say it wrong."
Ye Huixian understood. No wonder Nan Nan could speak Shanghainese; it turned out Chen Ming had taught her. But the little girl had learned it so well, her pronunciation was so clear and accurate.
"Aunt Huixian, we're bringing my grandma and mom to eat here tomorrow. It tastes great, and grandma will definitely like it."
Several people nodded repeatedly, agreeing that this was only natural; once you're in Shanghai, all you do is eat, drink, and have fun.
The four of them devoured ten baskets of xiaolongbao and four soup dumplings. Not only was Ye Huixian surprised, but the waiters were also shocked by their appetite.
In fact, even the most voracious eater, Yan Ai, only ate three baskets. Yan Xiaonan, on the other hand, devoured all three baskets. The memories from her past life were too effective; the more she ate, the more she wanted to eat.
Ye Chen'er wouldn't give in either. It had been more than ten years, and only now could she return to her hometown. The wind in her hometown was warm, and the water in her hometown was sweet.
The four of them looked at their obviously protruding bellies and felt a little embarrassed. How could they be so impolite for a bite to eat?
Looking out the window, Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er were both very interested. Yu Garden, it's been a long time.
To digest their food, the group began to stroll around Yu Garden, where there were many different kinds of snack shops, and the Nine-Turn Bridge was also quite crowded.
Yan Xiaonan found some one-cent and two-cent coins, stood on the bridge, threw the money into the pool behind him, and closed his eyes to pray.
When people saw someone throwing money into the pool, they pointed and whispered, wondering if the little girl was mentally ill, since that handful of money must be worth at least two mao (0.2 yuan).
Yan Xiaonan opened her eyes after praying. Seeing the strange looks from Yan Aidang and the others, she suddenly realized that people in this era were not so generous as to throw money away.
Ye Chen'er wanted to learn from Yan Xiaonan, but she couldn't stand the pointing fingers of those strangers, so she had to leave disappointed.
The last stop was the famous Qipu Road Wholesale Market, which was already starting to become a bustling market at this time.
The vendors selling cheap clothing lined up in a row, and many dilapidated houses along the street were renovated and opened for business.
Yan Xiaonan knew that Qipu Road would become a large wholesale market in the future, and she was determined to occupy this battlefield.
He told Ye Huixian and the others about this idea, and Ye Huixian nodded repeatedly.
Ye Huixian had originally considered this place, but she always felt that the goods here were too cheap and somewhat out of place with her business district.
But Nan Nan is right. Making money is making money. It's easy to make money at the top, and it's easy to make money at the bottom. As long as it's legal and reasonable, what's there to hesitate about?
So the group drove around the area several more times and finally pinpointed the location. The most effective method now was to invest and buy the property rights.
Because Yan Xiaonan wanted to buy too many and too varied houses, Ye Huiguo could only work alongside them late into the night, carefully considering how to proceed.
After three days of continuous discussion, several plans were finally determined. If the first plan didn't work, the second plan would be implemented, and so on. If none of them worked, then there would be no chance of making money.
In the southern part of the city, at least a hundred old and dilapidated apartments need to be purchased, in preparation for future relocation and development.
In Yan Xiaonan's previous life, she needed to accumulate at least 30,000 square meters of land, and she wanted to own a real physical shopping mall there.
In the Qipu Road area, you can acquire as much property as you have the capacity, since that area has the fastest economic development.
Both Yan Xiaonan and Yan Aidang are now well-off. The Beijing Club has enriched Yan Aidang and his associates, and Yan Xiaonan also has income from the clothing and furniture factories.
"Chen'er, do we have enough money at home to invest with Nan Nan?"
Yan Aidang knew he had to follow Yan Xiaonan, but his strength was also the biggest factor in whether he could keep up.
Ye Chen'er shook her head. She had thought she could win without lifting a finger in the future, but she suddenly realized that her bank savings were simply not enough.
After much deliberation, the only option left was to take a gamble and abandon the investment in the online mall, because that investment was ongoing, and they didn't have the resources for it.
As for Qipu Road, they don't have a garment factory, nor do they produce clothing products. Even if they invest, no one will take care of it.
Let's invest all our funds in the southern part of the city and wait for future development and relocation to make a fortune.
Ye Huiguo was also in the room discussing with Sheng Lijuan. Sheng Lijuan didn't have much money, and Ye Huiguo could only use the funds given to him by Ye Ren.
The two decided to invest their limited funds in Qipu Road, and at most let Huixian manage the shop in the future, while they would just sit back and wait to collect the money.
As for the southern part of the city, a limited investment of five or six houses would be enough. If there is any relocation in the future, they can at least have some income.
Ye Huixian and Yan Xiaonan decided to jointly invest in the Qipu Road area, ensuring that each of them would own at least ten shops in the future.
As for the largest piece of land that Yan Xiaonan invested in, the area requirement was too large and the capital required was too much, so Yan Xiaonan said that he could accumulate it slowly.
Ye Huiguo was somewhat puzzled. Why would Yan Xiaonan choose such a dirty, messy, and smelly place, and even plan to invest a huge sum of money in it?
Ye Huixian didn't understand either, but she respected Yan Xiaonan's wishes. She and her second brother took on the task and were determined to complete it well.
Only Ye Chen'er and Yan Aidang supported Yan Xiaonan. Although their support was blind, their past successes showed that Yan Xiaonan's decision was not truly blind.
As for the villa, Yan Xiaonan said she didn't need it. Firstly, she had already emptied her savings, and secondly, she didn't live there permanently.
The small villa they live in now is big enough for their whole family to live in. Moreover, unlike other houses, it can't be rented out and left empty to get moldy.
Grandma Yan took a stroll near the villa for three consecutive days. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand Shanghainese and her Mandarin wasn't very standard either, otherwise she could have gone even further.
She also knew that Nan Nan wasn't just here for fun; she would take her out to play once she finished her business.
