Hearing Qian Mao's words, Qian Duoduo also looked up at the arcade across the street and naturally saw the man standing by the window. She recognized him at a glance; he was the middle-aged man from Old Yang's house. However, she knew he wouldn't stay there for long.
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo turned to Qian Mao and said, "Third Brother, once the new veterans from Uncle Ling's side arrive, get some people for me. The shops here are all closed right now, and I want to reopen them. After all, these are our own properties, and we can't let them sit idle forever. Also, those tenants who are behind on rent need to be evicted; it's really annoying to see them like this."
Qian Mao nodded in agreement. He continued, "Among the people Uncle Ling sent this time, there are a few promising talents, but they all have their own personalities."
With a faint smile on his face, Qian Duoduo said calmly, "The fact that they came here shows that they don't want to go back to their hometown and live that kind of life of farming from dawn till dusk. Besides, if they follow us, as long as they remain loyal, hardworking, and willing to endure hardship, we will definitely not treat them unfairly."
When Peng Fei heard these words, he was deeply shocked. He had been following Qian Duoduo for some time, always closely following him whenever he came to Guangzhou. Therefore, he knew that what Qian Duoduo said was true. Among the veterans of his generation, although some remained in the construction team, it was indeed because of their limited abilities and almost no advantages.
However, most of the intelligent people had already been assigned to various positions, and even special forces soldiers like him were assigned to protect Qian Duoduo. During this time, Qian Duoduo not only taught him a lot, but more importantly, he made him realize that in addition to his strong physique, he could also become a wise advisor.
If Peng Fei lived in the future, he would understand that Qian Duoduo was offering him a rare opportunity—to become an all-around assistant. This position not only required a wide range of skills and abilities, but more importantly, unwavering loyalty to the employer. Peng Fei had already passed Qian Duoduo's test, proving his reliability and loyalty.
Qian Mao nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I will return to Pengcheng as soon as possible and arrange for people to come. At that time, let Abiao take charge of arranging their work and life."
Qian Duoduo continued, "No problem, I have two places to choose from here. One is a courtyard near the train station, which can accommodate some people; the other is a small house on Enning Road, which can also accommodate some people."
Upon hearing this, Qian Mao asked in surprise, "What's going on? When did you buy all these houses? I've noticed you're always busy building or buying houses!"
Qian Duoduo explained with a smile, "House prices are cheap now, so buying more houses is a good investment. It would be even better if you could rent them out, and if there is any demolition in the future, you can also get a compensation payment. In short, you won't lose out by buying a house now."
Qian Mao paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Qian Duoduo asked Abiao to take Qian Mao and the others back to the courtyard near the train station, and then went to the garment factory. After all, things were still ongoing there, and they needed to keep an eye on production output.
After returning to the courtyard, Qian Mao and Zhang Muyao sat down to rest inside. Qian Mao leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, his mind racing. Then he said, "Yaoyao, how about we buy a house like Duoduo did?"
Zhang Muyao looked at Qian Mao with some surprise. She knew that Qian Mao had been working in the real estate industry in Pengcheng with Duoduo since graduation, and now he had a strong interest in the industry. But she did not expect him to suddenly bring up such an idea.
"Brother Mao, have you thought this through? Buying a house is no small matter, and maintaining it is also a problem," Zhang Muyao said worriedly.
Qian Mao smiled; he had already considered this issue. He believed that while buying property now carried risks, as long as the location was well-chosen and the planning was sound, a considerable return could be achieved. Moreover, he trusted his own judgment and foresight.
"Don't worry, Yao Yao. Even putting aside the bigger picture, you've seen the tremendous changes Duo Duo has undergone year after year. I'm confident I can do even better. Besides, I don't want to miss this opportunity. House prices are so low now; it's the perfect time to buy," Qian Mao said firmly.
Seeing Qian Mao's insistence, Zhang Muyao stopped objecting. She knew Qian Mao was always decisive; once he decided to do something, he would go all out. So, she nodded, supporting Qian Mao's decision.
“Alright, Mao-ge, since you’ve made up your mind, then go for it. However, I think Duoduo is a very opinionated person, so we can communicate with her more. Three heads are better than one,” Zhang Muyao reminded her.
Qian Mao smiled and agreed, secretly rejoicing at having such an understanding wife. In the days that followed, Qian Mao began searching for suitable properties. After some time, he finally found several properties he liked. These houses were located in the bustling city center, with convenient transportation, complete surrounding amenities, and high investment value.
Qian Mao acquired the houses without hesitation and immediately began renovations and management. He brought Qian Yin's renovation team to Guangzhou like a divine intervention, giving the houses a simple and elegant style. At the same time, he posted "For Rent" signs on the doors to ensure the houses could be rented out as quickly as possible, maximizing profits.
While helping Qian Mao renovate the house, Qian Yin also chatted with him about his initial motivation for buying it, finding it to be a brilliant idea. However, in this bustling city center, people selling houses were extremely rare. He sought out Qian Duoduo, hoping she could offer some advice. Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo directly took him to a suburban area on the outskirts of the city, pointing to two houses and saying, "There are two houses for sale here, Brother Qian Yin. It's up to you whether you have the guts to make the move." Don't let the current poverty fool you; twenty years from now, this will be a renowned urban village, where every family drives luxury cars and everyone can live a life of luxury off the rent.
Looking into Qian Duoduo's bright eyes, Qian Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Duoduo, do you think this place will work?" Seeing Qian Duoduo nod, Qian Yin said, "Then let's buy it."
Years later, when Qian Yin was playing mahjong while calling his tenants to urge them to pay the rent, he felt that his decision back then was absolutely correct.
