Chapter 1027: Future Sister-in-law's Property
"Not much."
It’s hard to say the exact price, so Zhou Anan plans to get away with it.
If he told him the real price, his parents would probably keep asking him questions for at least the entire night. Anyway, there was no price tag on it and it couldn't be found online.
"It's not a lot, it's a lot. It's not easy for you to make money nowadays, so you can't spend it recklessly."
However, for Zhou Youliang, who has always been diligent and steady in his work, it is not so easy to pass the test.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Your son bought it for you, so just accept it."
Wang Jingyu, who was very happy to wear the jade bracelet, patted her husband's arm so as not to hurt her son's filial piety.
Compared to her husband, she values her son's kindness more.
As for money, there is no need to care so much, so as not to make your son worry too much.
"The original price was probably several hundred thousand, but the shop opened by my friend's relative only took the cost price, which was only twenty or thirty thousand. It is said that they even invited a master from Hong Kong to bless it to ensure safety and prosperity of business."
Faced with her father who was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhou Anan did not reject his question, but selectively mentioned a suitable price and briefly explained the meaning behind it.
After all, they spent nearly two million to buy the jade, and the meaning of consecrating it to ensure safety is quite good. Zhou Anan said that she would give it twenty or thirty thousand just to let her parents take better care of it.
Not too high, not too low, just right.
“So expensive?”
Zhou Youliang, who had never spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy anything in his life except for buying a house and a car, looked at the jade bracelet in front of him and carefully put it back into the box.
As for blaming his son for spending money recklessly, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The things have already been bought, and my son is showing his filial piety. Should I ask him to return them?
"Dad, why don't you try it on?"
Seeing his father's cautious behavior, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
"This thing is too expensive. It's better to put it in a box. It would be a shame if it accidentally falls off."
"Dad, this is a bracelet for keeping safe. It's useless if you put it in the box. What a waste."
Zhou Anan had already thought of a reason for this.
He really wanted his father to wear this jade Buddhist beads bracelet more often, which could help people calm down, so that he wouldn't be so impulsive and get angry from time to time, which would hurt his body.
Having money and a safe family may be the greatest expectation for future life.
"That's right, my son bought it for you to keep you safe, why are you not wearing it?"
Wang Jingyu, who always wore the jade bracelet before going to bed, chimed in.
She will wear it to the factory tomorrow to show it to her elder sister and the workers. It is a gift her son bought for her.
Of course, when loading the goods, they must be placed properly. Things worth tens of thousands of dollars cannot be damaged.
"Okay, I wear it normally."
Seeing his wife say so, Zhou Youliang picked up the bracelet with both hands and gently put it on his left wrist.
When he thought about the fact that the original price of this bracelet was hundreds of thousands, he felt pretty good.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that the 200,000 yuan that he and his friend were going to invest was not a lot, as the value of their house had increased by 600,000 or 700,000 yuan.
"Mom, I bought this for my grandparents. Can you bring it over when you are free?"
In addition, Zhou Anan took out two ordinary boxes and handed them to her mother.
“Is it expensive?”
“Not expensive, just a few thousand yuan.”
Compared to her parents' age, the bracelets Zhou Anan bought for her grandparents were all ordinary ones, which cost tens of thousands of yuan in Tianchan Temple. After deducting the labor fee of the master for consecrating them, the cost was only a few thousand yuan.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy something expensive, Zhou Anan doesn’t lack that much money, but the older generation is reluctant to buy it.
If they really accidentally lost such an expensive thing, they would be heartbroken for the rest of their lives.
"Have you given grandpa and grandma's?"
Hearing the price, Wang Jingyu nodded and then asked about the gifts for his parents-in-law.
My husband is sitting next to me. If my son forgets to buy it, I would rather give it to my parents-in-law first to avoid my husband, who is very concerned about his reputation, from thinking too much.
"I bought it, but my grandparents are still helping my uncle, so they don't have time to give it to them. I'm a little tired from the car ride today, so I'm going back to my room to sleep. Otherwise, Dad, you can wait for my grandparents to come back and take it over."
Knowing the underlying meaning of her mother's words, Zhou Anan handed the task of delivering gifts to her father on the pretext of going to bed early.
It's most appropriate to let my dad do this kind of face-enhancing thing.
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Hearing that his son wanted to rest early, Zhou Youliang naturally would not force his son to send him off personally.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, I heard the door open on the first floor. Zhou Youliang, who was sitting in the bedroom watching TV, came downstairs with two boxes and said to his parents who had just returned, "You two are old, so do less work. Youfa will hire someone himself. This is what An An asked a friend to bring back from Hong Kong. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, so why not wear it? It's just gathering dust."
Not knowing how her father gave the Buddhist beads bracelet to her grandparents last night, Zhou Anan got up early the next morning, talked to the enthusiastic old people for a few words, and then ran around the village.
After breakfast, instead of going to her mother's factory to join in the fun, Zhou Anan took her father's car to the city and then got into the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle following behind.
"Go to the Bird of Paradise Foot Bath across from Mobile."
"OK."
Arriving opposite the mobile building at the intersection of the pedestrian street, Zhou Anan saw three distinctive neon signs of "Bird of Paradise" flashing continuously.
The four stores cover an area of 300 square meters, four floors, plus a parking lot with hundreds of parking spaces at the back. Zhou Anan thinks that her future sister-in-law has a good eye for site selection.
It may seem like a waste of money now, but when the number of vehicles in Lizhou expands rapidly in the future and the traffic police and urban management officers are busy issuing tickets on the road, these hundreds of parking spaces will be a perfect way to attract customers.
“Welcome to Bird of Paradise.”
Although it was only nine o'clock, the Bird of Paradise Foot Bath was already open. When Zhou Anan walked in, she saw four girls wearing red cheongsams with good figures and looks bowing and greeting her.
"Excuse me sir, would you like a foot bath or a massage?"
At this time, a lobby manager wearing a women's suit and short skirt came over and asked gently.
"Foot soak."
Since she was here to take a look, Zhou Anan didn't mind soaking her feet.
"Okay, Xiao Chen, take this gentleman to the second floor to soak his feet."
The lobby manager called a supervisor and gave an order, then had someone take the customer upstairs in the elevator.
"Sir, do you have any familiar technicians?"
The male supervisor asked with a smile as we walked into the elevator.
"No, just assign me one of the four technicians at the door."
Zhou Anan did not let the other party make his own arrangements. He did not want to meet a technician who was 160cm tall and whose feet would not be able to withstand the pressure.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Taking the other party to a small room with two reclining sofas, the male foreman stepped out and communicated with the staff downstairs who arranged the technicians using the intercom.
Soon, after observing the environment and feeling it was ok, Zhou Anan saw someone serving fruit drinks, and then one of the four cheongsam female technicians who had been seen at the door before walked in pulling a black suitcase.
This is somewhat similar to the high-end foot massage shops in Shanghai. It's very thoughtful.
"Sir, what kind of foot bath would you like?"
Picking up the price tag on the small coffee table in the middle of the sofa, the young cheongsam female technician asked with a smile.
“Just choose the most expensive one.”
After looking at the prices of three levels of foot bath, namely 66, 86 and 106, Zhou Anan directly chose the most expensive one.
According to the current foot bath prices in Lizhou, it is generally 30-60 per hour (70 minutes). The base price of Bird of Paradise is directly more expensive than the highest price of others. I don't know how the business is doing.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Taking out a bunch of preparation tools from the black suitcase, the female technician in cheongsam heard the knock on the door and asked the male foreman at the door to put the basin of hot water prepared for the medicinal bath on the ground.
The following process is similar to most foot baths.
After going through the whole process of shoulder massage, waist relaxation, eye mask, head massage and foot massage, Zhou Anan felt quite comfortable.
Compared with those foot massage shops in the 30s and 40s, it is indeed much more professional.
And I learned from the female technician that business is very good after noon, especially in the evening, and there are customers waiting in the waiting room.
With Lizhou's fast-growing economy, there are plenty of people who can afford this consumption. You should know that there are hundreds of thousands of small manufacturers registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau alone, not to mention those small workshops that do not have registered business licenses.
The annual GDP of over 10 billion is not just talk, otherwise the housing prices in Lizhou would not have risen from less than 3,000 to more than 10,000 within a year with the help of people with ulterior motives. It is useless even if many people speculate in real estate without money.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Zhou Anan had just paid the bill at the checkout counter and was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice.
