"Auntie, where are we going? I want to go too!" Yan Feng asked.
Ye Chen'er held Yan Feng's hand and asked with a smile, "Yan Feng, did Mom tell you that you shouldn't pry into other people's whereabouts?"
Yan Feng glanced at Yan Xiaonan: "Mom, Auntie is no stranger."
Yan Xiaonan smiled: "Yes, Auntie is none other than Auntie is going to find a teacher for Yushu."
Yan Feng immediately shut up: "Mom, I want to sleep."
Everyone~
After dinner, Yan Xiaonan and Ye Ren went to the third-floor terrace. Ye Chenming brewed a pot of fine tea for them and sat quietly listening to their conversation.
"Grandpa, I want to develop real estate, starting in Shanghai. Do you think that's feasible?" Yan Xiaonan asked directly.
Ye Ren was taken aback. Developing real estate would require a lot of capital, which the Ye family certainly wouldn't have enough for. But who else could they ally with now?
Ye Ren thought of five or six childhood friends from aristocratic families, but in the end he shook his head. Some of them were dead, and some had disappeared.
“Grandpa, we need to ask the government for land and then apply for a loan from the bank. We can start with small-scale projects and begin construction with residential buildings. Do you think that's feasible?”
Ye Ren's temples throbbed a few times. Why did those words sound so familiar? Where had he heard them before?
Oh, that was a long, long time ago. My own father said the same thing to me: "Let's get the money and raise funds. We can start from a small scale."
Sigh, although the things we do are different, the endings are all the same, from the beginning to the end, they are all so similar.
“Grandpa understands. Tomorrow, Grandpa will go find someone to check out the current policies and direction of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Actually, Grandpa thinks it would be better to start with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange,” Ye Ren said.
Yan Xiaonan nodded. She knew it was better to start there, since a circle had already been drawn around it.
However, the development speed of the Shanghai Stock Exchange should not be underestimated. By the time they make a comeback, the biggest advantage will no longer exist.
“Grandpa, if we take action now, we might be able to obtain some original land use rights. Otherwise, we'll have to apply to the government for additional construction land,” Yan Xiaonan said.
Ye Ren immediately understood what Yan Xiaonan meant and asked where to start the application process.
Yan Xiaonan smiled. Let's start from the inner ring road—no, it should be from the city center—and take advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up to enjoy the warmth of spring.
The next day was another hot summer day. Ye Huiguo brought in more than a dozen window air conditioners, so that almost every room in the small villa had an air conditioner.
Yan Xiaonan shook her head with a smile. There was absolutely no way that so many air conditioners could be turned on at the same time, otherwise the circuit breaker would definitely trip.
Ye Huiguo knew, of course, that the rooms for children and the elderly only needed to be kept cool by running the fan for a few hours to lower the overall room temperature.
The rest is up to the adults to turn on the air conditioning, otherwise, they probably won't be able to get through this summer.
Sheng Lijuan smiled with her eyes crinkling. She was the person who hated heat the most. When the heat was so intense that her heart was burning, she even wanted to lie in the bathtub and become a fish.
All these air conditioners must have cost a lot of money, but if they make life more comfortable, then so be it.
While they were busy installing the air conditioner, Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming took their two children out.
That day, when they went to the Peace Hotel for dinner, Yan Xiaonan noticed that Yu Shu's eyes turned a light gold when he looked at the relief sculpture.
Since their last encounter at Mushroom Mountain in the capital, Yan Xiaonan knew that Yu Shu's special ability was her eyes, which possessed the ability to see through objects.
However, this ability can only be used for a very short time; within just two or three seconds, Yu Shu's eyes will become unable to open.
But the last time Yu Shu looked at the relief, she stared at it for about ten seconds, and her eyes showed no abnormality afterward.
Yan Xiaonan guessed that it was Yu Shu absorbing the energy, or spiritual power, from the relief.
That relief is an old object, so it should contain spiritual power. What else could have spiritual power?
All that's left are the jade and antique stones passed down from the older generation, but all of the Ye family's things are in Beijing, and in Shanghai, the only ghost market is in the basement of the old city.
Now that reform and opening up have begun, these "ghost markets" have gradually become open and legitimate, transforming into open flea markets.
"Yushu, Mom will take you somewhere later. If you see something you like, take a good look at it. If it's really nice, Mom will buy it for you."
Yu Shu was exceptionally clever; she immediately realized that her mother already knew about her collecting energy at the Peace Hotel.
"Mom, will you be angry with me?"
"No, people with superpowers strengthen their abilities by absorbing energy. Once their abilities are strong enough, they can protect the people they want to protect."
The principle of giving and receiving has its own cause and effect and merit. There is no need to worry about the methods or means. When it is your turn to repay, you will repay in full.
Yu Shu understood. She took her mother's hand and walked into the flea market, sensing everything she could.
The group arrived at the antique street, where there were many stalls. When the stall owners saw people coming, they shouted and promoted their products.
Yu Shu stopped at a stall, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and began to search with her eyes.
Yan Xiaonan's consciousness swept over it and saw that Yu Shu's eyes had turned gold again, and what was meeting Yu Shu's gaze was a copper rod.
This bronze rod looks rusty, as if it was just dug out of the ground, so it must be quite old.
Yan Xiaonan doesn't understand antiques; in her eyes, these things are just scrap metal.
"Little girl, what do you like? Uncle will get it for you, okay?" The stall owner asked happily when he saw a customer coming in.
"How much does this stick cost?" Yu Shu asked.
"This isn't a stick, it's a famous Ming Dynasty judge's pen, also known as the top scholar's pen. It's a genuine antique, little girl, do you like it?" the stall owner began to boast.
"What 'top scholar's pen'? It doesn't look like a pen at all. It's just a copper tube that's been sitting around for a long time and is now rusty. And it's supposed to be from the Ming Dynasty?" Yan Xiaonan scoffed.
"Young lady, this is a genuine Ming Dynasty judge's pen, worth a lot of money. I had it appraised myself," the stall owner hurriedly explained.
“What girl? That’s my wife. Your eyes aren’t very bright, no wonder you’re so good at bragging. This is a real Ming Dynasty antique, you can’t just throw it here and sell it.” Ye Chenming said.
The onlookers laughed heartily, agreeing that this was exactly right; it was truly the pen of a people's judge, and it must be worth a fortune.
"Brother, I haven't made a sale yet today. Give me a chance to open one," the stall owner said somewhat awkwardly.
"Okay, then name your price. If it's reasonable, we'll open a deal for you. If not, we won't be ripped off, right?" Yan Xiaonan agreed.
"One thousand yuan," the stall owner said eagerly.
"Shh..." A chorus of boasting came from the surroundings. "A thousand dollars? You might as well rob someone."
