Upon arriving in the county town, the three first went to the seafood market and found Xu Shaoping.
Xu Shaoping seemed somewhat surprised when he saw the three of them.
"You've arrived so quickly. I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow."
"The sooner the better, so everyone can rest assured. We also want to get things done as soon as possible, since we only have these two days." Feng Ye said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Xu."
"What's the trouble? I'd love to have it. Did you bring your ID card and household registration book?"
"I brought everything. I even checked it before coming, just in case I made a wasted trip."
"That's good. Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
As he spoke, he tidied up briefly, gathered all his documents, and closed the shop.
The three followed Xu Shaoping through the bustling market and arrived outside.
Xu Shaoping looked back at them and said, "It's not far. Just walk there and don't waste your money."
"Whatever you say, we don't know where the property transfer is anyway."
Feng Ye nodded, and the three of them followed Xu Shaoping's steps, slowly walking along the street.
"It seems that you three are partners operating these three shops?"
“Yes, I take half, and my brother and cousin each take 25%.” Feng Ye smiled. “The pressure was too much for one person, so I brought them in.”
"It's really a lot of pressure to come up with 55,000 yuan all at once. For example, the house my son wants to buy is only a little over 100 square meters, but it costs 140,000 yuan. It's really a headache."
Xu Shaoping sighed and shook his head.
"It's normal for houses in Beijing to be more expensive."
"This is not just a little bit! It's more than ten times more expensive. In our county, you can buy it for around ten thousand yuan."
“Our small county town is no match for the capital. It’s just a small place with limited development opportunities. The capital is different. It’s a place where a lot of high-ranking officials live, so it’s bound to develop very well.”
Feng Ye then jokingly added, "Maybe in ten or twenty years, the house your son bought will be worth millions."
"Several hundred million or tens of millions? You must be joking. If it were really worth that much, I'd be laughing in my sleep."
Xu Shaoping smiled and shook his head, not believing Feng Ye's words at all.
Little did he know that what Feng Ye said was true.
At that time, no one could have imagined that housing prices in Beijing would one day reach astronomical levels, making them prohibitively expensive.
Feng Ye once saw a news article online about the story of Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan in his previous life.
Just this year, Jackie Chan was tricked by a real estate agent into buying eight courtyard houses for 500,000 yuan each. At the time, everyone laughed at Jackie Chan for being out of his mind and buying a bunch of junk.
However, two or three decades later, the value of these eight courtyard houses has exceeded one billion.
Will anyone still laugh at Jackie Chan?
They can only admire his unique vision.
"The future is anything; what I'm saying might just come true."
Feng Ye smiled mysteriously.
He just doesn't have the money; otherwise, he would have gone to Beijing to buy a courtyard house.
With a profit of over 250 times, this is a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity.
Unfortunately, he had no money, so it was just a dream.
"Then I'll take your kind words."
Xu Shaoping said this, but he didn't really believe it.
The four walked along the street, and in just over ten minutes, they arrived at a building with a sign that read "Real Estate Bureau".
More than half an hour later, they came out again.
At this point, the transfer of ownership was completed, and the name on the property ownership certificate was changed to Feng Ye.
Feng Xuan and A Can are co-owners, each holding a 25% share.
"Here you go, the keys. Congratulations! I wish you booming business and great fortune!"
Xu Shaoping handed a heavy bunch of keys to Feng Ye with a broad smile on his face.
Feng Ye took the key: "Congratulations to you too."
"Then I'll head back now. You guys keep going."
After Xu Shaoping finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the market.
After watching Xu Shaoping leave, the three stood at the entrance of the housing bureau, looking at the keys and the big red property certificate in their hands, their hearts filled with anticipation and excitement.
"let me see."
Ah-Can eagerly snatched the big red booklet from Feng Ye's hand and examined it carefully: "Brother Ye, Brother Xuan, with this, can we finally get government-subsidized grain rations?"
Feng Xuan didn't understand either, and looked at Feng Ye with an inquiring gaze.
"No," Feng Ye said firmly. "This is a shop, not a residence, so you can't register your household there."
"No way!" Ah-Can sighed, "Oh, that's a pity."
"The countryside is actually quite nice. Although it's not as convenient, the cost of living is lower. Don't be fooled by how city people seem to be living the high life; it's not all that great, and everything costs money..."
Many people want to change their rural household registration to urban household registration, but it's very difficult and requires connections.
But in twenty or thirty years, urban household registration will no longer be desirable, while agricultural household registration will be highly sought after, and it will be difficult to switch back.
"That's true. City dwellers can't even grow their own vegetables and have to buy them. It's better in the countryside; they have everything."
Feng Xuan nodded in agreement. "What are we going to do now? Go to the market to sell dried fish and shrimp?"
Feng Ye glanced at the sky and estimated the time: "It's getting late, we can't sell for much longer. Besides, we don't know the price of dried fish, so how can we sell it?"
"What should we do then?" Ah-chan asked casually.
"Okay, then we won't sell it today. Let's find out the price of dried fish first, and we'll talk about it tonight."
"Where should we ask? Should we go back to the market?"
Feng Ye thought for a moment and said, "No, let's go to the farmers' market."
The main reason was that he didn't know if the seafood market sold dried fish, and he was afraid of making a wasted trip, while the vegetable market would definitely have it.
Where is the farmers' market?
Ah-Can turned around and looked around, feeling somewhat lost.
Feng Ye found it somewhat amusing: "Your mouth only knows how to eat, can't you do anything else? If you don't know where it is, why don't you just ask?"
"Damn, I'm so stupid. How could I not have thought of that?"
Ah-Can slapped his forehead and smiled sheepishly.
Meanwhile, Feng Xuan had already randomly approached a passerby, asked around, and obtained the exact location.
"Ah Ye, Ah Can, they're over there."
With that, Feng Xuan led the way and walked in one direction.
Feng Ye and A-Can quickly followed.
Do you think these dried fish and shrimp will sell well?
Ah-Can asked suddenly, somewhat nervously.
"Don't worry, there are so many people in the county, there will always be someone who likes you."
Feng Ye replied casually.
Actually, he wasn't sure himself.
He's never sold them before, so how would he know if they'd be easy to sell?
Feng Xuan smiled and comforted her, "Anyway, we dried them ourselves, so there's no cost. We can just sell them at a lower price, and someone should still buy them."
"Let's take a look first. If they really don't sell, we can just take them home..."
The three chatted as they walked toward the market.
