The cost of food in Beijing restaurants is high, and the food is served very quickly.
The dishes that require more cooking time are placed at the back.
Linglong and her friends are the same. Their families basically have dual jobs and stable jobs. In Beijing, they are also among the better-off families.
That’s it. Now we can only say that we have enough food and clothing, but we can’t say how much we eat.
With the meat coupons he got, he could probably eat meat once or twice a week on average.
The dishes that 㫇'er makes are usually meat dishes, which taste surprisingly good and everyone can't put down their chopsticks.
Linglong and several older women in the unit are all lesbians. She started by saying that everyone should eat and drink well all day and there was no need for toasts. The male comrades who liked to drink then just followed suit and enjoyed themselves.
To be honest, Linglong doesn't like the drinking culture in China.
If she wants to eat, she prefers to eat quietly and chat. It's okay for her to talk, but why does she have to drink?
She has no right to interfere with other people's dinner parties, and she doesn't want to go through the pain of treating herself.
Zheng Tiansen can drink, but he is not the type of person who likes alcohol much.
His wife always stressed that one should not drink before driving, so he did not pour himself any wine.
Although she doesn't drink alcohol, Linglong also ordered several drinks, including domestic soda and imported ones.
That is the Capital Hotel. You can drink imported drinks without going to the Friendship Store or using foreign exchange coupons. Of course, the price is not cheap.
After filling their stomachs a little, everyone started eating and chatting.
I found that Zheng Tiansen was a man of few words and a serious nature, but he was gentle and considerate to his wife Linglong.
Everyone was afraid to speak at first, but later they gradually relaxed.
Then the main topic at the dinner table was, of course, Linglong's unpaid leave.
"Linglong, if you don't do it, it will be a big shock to all of us."
"Yeah, think about it. Having a city hukou and a stable job is always a popular thing. You suddenly pushed it out, and it scared us a lot."
Linglong smiled. "Just wait and see. From now on, there will be no shortage of people who will quit their jobs and start their own businesses, let alone take unpaid leave."
"Is doing business really that profitable?" Section Chief Wang, who felt he was doing quite well at work, felt a little depressed.
In the current environment, let alone seven or eight out of ten businessmen can make money, it’s just a matter of how much.
This is also an opportunity given by the times.
There is only so much money in the early stage, and it will become gradually difficult to do business in the future.
Linglong couldn't say such affirmative words, so she could only comfort him, "Each has its own advantages. A stable job offers freedom and great opportunities for self-employment. I think it all depends on your personality and choices. Doing business isn't easy either."
In fact, many people who later quit their jobs and went into business did not necessarily do so out of desire, but were probably forced to do so by lack of money.
Regarding the current income and price levels.
Most families, after receiving their salary and having enough money to meet their basic needs, have no savings left.
If you want to buy anything big, you have to save money for a long time.
If my family continues to need money due to any problems, I will really feel like I am being forced to go to the mountains.
After hearing Linglong say this, everyone felt better.
The question was, does Linglong have any way to make money? Linglong thought about it and gave some suggestions.
"It's the most wasteful thing to deposit money in a credit union or bank. If possible, it's better to invest it." The bank's interest rate can't keep up with the rate of price increases.
"Then how do we invest? Linglong, tell me about it."
Linglong is not very proficient in this aspect, but she still remembers the general trend.
In the 1980s, you could buy stamps, in the 1990s, you could buy stocks, and later on, you could buy houses.
These are probably the most valuable ones.
"Does anyone like stamps?" Linglong asked. She just remembered this when she was asked what to invest in.
"I like it, and I still have some at home." A man raised his hand silently.
"If you have the money, you can buy some Monkey Stamps, Chicken Stamps, and Military Stamps and save them. I think it's better to hold them for the long term. Another good investment is to buy a house."
"Buying a house requires a lot of money." An older sister frowned.
"Of course, if you can afford it, buy one that's around 10 square meters. It doesn't matter if it's a bit out of the way. The more affordable and bigger the house, the better."
How many ring roads are there in Beijing now?
Buy any corner of the city and wait for twenty or thirty years, and it will become a prime location.
"But we all have houses to live in now. At worst, we can wait for work to pay us back. Wouldn't it be a loss if we used the money to buy a house?"
"Without saying anything else, you can go back and do some research to see what the housing market was like five years ago, what it's like now, and how much higher the price has increased than the investment. I'm just giving you a suggestion. Whether or not to buy and how to invest is up to you, of course."
Putting aside other things, if you buy a house in Xiyou, just follow her instructions and you won’t have to worry about your retirement when you are older.
If you do both and the amount is not small, then congratulations, you may be a millionaire with assets of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Zheng Tiansen watched his wife talking and saw that familiar glow of confidence again.
It seems that my wife is always very confident and certain about her views and predictions on certain things.
Everyone was in a good mood after the meal.
Although they didn't drink, they talked a lot and time passed quickly.
We arrived at the restaurant a little after six o'clock, and by the time we finished eating, it was already nine o'clock, and it was pitch black outside.
Everyone has a bicycle, and even the men who have been drinking, as long as they are not drunk too much, can go home by themselves.
Zheng Tiansen opened the trunk of his car and put Linglong's bicycle there, and then the couple drove back to Tang.
As soon as she got in the car, Linglong began to sigh.
"When I was planning to leave, I didn't think anything of it. Now that I think about how we'll all be apart in the future, I feel a little reluctant to leave."
"Anyway, our home is not far from your workplace, so you can come over and take a walk when you're free."
"That's right."
Thinking about the scene of bringing some food and drinks to visit her colleagues at her old workplace, Linglong laughed out loud.
"Should we go back directly or go pick up the kids first?"
"The kids might be asleep at this hour. Never mind. Let's just go back home and call mom. I'll come over to pick up the kids tomorrow." She was relieved now that she had no work to do.
At the company, she is the boss and has a lot of freedom.
"Okay." Zheng Tiansen smiled.
Thinking about going home without being disturbed by his children, Zheng Tiansen became excited and just wanted to drive home quickly.
Of course he loves his two children very much, and it is very comfortable for them to spend some undisturbed time together occasionally.
Linglong supported her head and looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window, feeling a little melancholy.
In the blink of an eye, she has been reborn for many years.
I got married, had kids, took the college entrance exam, and did both kinds of work.
From now on, I will concentrate on working for my company. Time flies so fast.
