Chapter 110 Spending 30,000 Yuan
Before buying a house, Tang Yuan needed to buy a car.
This time I bought a car in Hong Kong.
Before this, she only considered having a suitable place to store her belongings, which required a fixed residence. She had already established a good relationship with the security guard at her current rental place and was sure that he could cover for her, so she had not considered moving.
But after she suddenly bought a used car in Country M, she suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate to use a car that could be moved at any time as a storage space.
Even after she bought a car to use as a storage point, she no longer had to worry about attracting too much attention.
But before buying a car, she still had to learn how to drive and get a driver's license that belonged to Wen Jiaqi.
When the mainland develops in the future, maybe she will need to take a driver's license like Xiaofang.
Well, who told her that she would have the upper hand over others just because she is alone?
Having decided to take the driving test, Tang Yuan did not hesitate and immediately signed up for driving lessons. He then went to practice driving every afternoon. As he already knew how to drive, he got a Hong Kong driver's license in ten days.
Considering that the car here might need to be moved back and forth more often, and there is a garage next to her new house, so she doesn't have to worry about the car being damaged if parked outside, so this time she did not buy a used car, but went to look at new cars, and finally bought a brand new van for HK$30,000.
After buying the car, she directly gave up the rented house. Before leaving, she moved some things into the car and gave the security guard her last pack of cigarettes.
"You're leaving now? You want to live a good life?"
"No, I'm still a worker. It's just that it's more convenient to work somewhere else, rather than moving things around here," Tang Yuan said to the security guard with a smile. "When it comes to work, I still have to follow the boss's lead."
"That's right," the security guard nodded, "I wish you a good life in the future."
"Thank you, you too."
After saying that, Tang Yuan got into the van and drove towards the coffee shop.
This place is some distance away from where she bought the house, but closer to where she rented a house. This is why she did not cancel the lease before. Now that she has a car, it is convenient to drive back and forth, so naturally she no longer needs to rent a house.
"Jiaqi?"
"It's me," Tang Yuan parked the car, opened the door and got out. "I bought a new car and will use it to deliver goods. How do you like this car? Isn't it good?"
"It's really good," Xue Shiqi walked around, "With this vehicle, it will be much more convenient for you to move around in the future, but it's a pity that it's not a car."
"It's more convenient to transport things by truck," Tang Yuan opened the door and took out the tea and coffee beans that he had prepared in advance from the truck. "By the way, I've moved. Whenever you are free, you can come to my house."
After she bought the house, she planned to tell Xue Shiqi about it, but she hadn't moved there completely yet, and it was not very convenient to go back and forth, so she never told her.
Now that she has given up the lease here, she will definitely move to the new house in the future. She will have to tell her sooner or later, so it’s better to say it now.
After hearing this, Xue Shiqi immediately nodded happily and said that she would close the store for a break and go to her house to visit.
Tang Yuan told her the address.
After saying this, Tang Yuan went into the store to package coffee beans and tea leaves, and cleaned up the table.
…
"Mommy, I'm going to Jiaqi's place to play tomorrow," Xue Shiqi said to Xue's mother, "What gift should I bring?"
"Where does she live?" Xue's mother asked curiously.
Xue Shiqi gave the address to Xue's mother: "Jiaqi just bought a car and moved. It's here."
"This place is pretty good," Mother Xue looked at the address, "It seems Jiaqi's business is doing well. Have you asked about her situation?"
"It seems that the tea business is very big, I'm not sure about the details," Xue Shiqi was bewildered, "We don't usually talk that much, but she is very busy and only comes to the store to help out occasionally."
"Then you must have done a lot of business. I'll prepare the gift for you and ask the driver to deliver it to you tomorrow," Xue's mother put down the note, "Have fun tomorrow and don't think about the store."
"Well, I put a note at the door saying take a break," Xue Shiqi couldn't help but sigh as she drank her soup, "Jia Qi is amazing. When we met two years ago, she seemed to be doing very little, but now her business is getting bigger and bigger."
"She is a person with ideas." Mother Xue nodded.
The next morning, Xue Shiqi took a driver's car from her home to Tang Yuan's current residence. As soon as she arrived at the community, she saw someone waiting at the door.
"It's great that you live here now!" Xue Shiqi walked quickly forward and took Tang Yuan's hand.
Tang Yuan took the gift from her and went upstairs with her: "I'm usually busy and haven't been home, but this house was originally well decorated and is very comfortable to live in."
The two walked into the community and took the elevator upstairs, chatting and talking about things.
After entering the house, Xue Shiqi saw the environment inside and couldn't help but exclaimed, "I like this decoration style. The decoration style of our house is too old, and I don't like it very much."
"I also like this decoration style, but it would be more interesting if it was designed with your aesthetic taste," Tang Yuan really thought Xue Shiqi's aesthetic taste was beautiful, "Please sit down, I'll make you some coffee."
Xue Shiqi sat on the sofa, then picked up the fruit that had been prepared on the table. After looking around, she said seriously, "Well, if I designed it, it would definitely be a little different from here. How much is the house here? I also want to buy this place and become your neighbor."
"This one costs over 200,000 yuan," Tang Yuan said as he made freshly ground coffee. "You can walk around and take a look. The doors of the houses are not closed."
After she finished speaking, Xue Shiqi immediately got up from the sofa and went to look around the rooms. When she reached the room where she could see the sea, she exclaimed "Wow" again.
"I like this room so much. I want to buy it too! And I will decorate and design it myself. Mommy will definitely like it too," Xue Shiqi thought excitedly. "I will use this room as a study and a design studio. It will be very comfortable to sit here and work on design drawings. This room can be used as a dressing room..."
Tang Yuan stood at the open operating table, making coffee while listening to Xue Shiqi talking.
After being busy for a while, occasionally bringing friends back like she did today and sitting down to chat, she would feel much better and not be so nervous.
I made coffee for Xue Shiqi and milk tea for myself. The two of them sat in the living room and chatted, talking about their expectations for the future.
Xue Shiqi still likes designing and knitting sweaters, but she is gradually turning to design and spending a lot of time on design. Maybe one day, she will no longer go to the store, but will fly to various countries around the world to find better inspiration.
But the store can still be opened. The worst that can happen is that we just need to hire someone else to look after the store.
Therefore, Tang Yuan did not think there was anything wrong with it, and even advised her to travel around and enjoy life while she was still young. She had the ability and expectation to do so, and going out to play could even be considered part of her job.
"Do you think I should go out too?"
"No, I think. It depends on whether you want to go out or not," Tang Yuan said. "I think your mom thinks the same way. You can do whatever you like. If you want to stay and knit a sweater, stay. If you want to go out and play, go out and play. You can do whatever you want. Isn't that good?"
"You're right," Xue Shiqi said, holding her cup of coffee, smiling, "I'll think about it."
The two chatted for a long time, had a quick lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, Xue Shiqi's driver came to pick them up.
After Xue Shiqi left, Tang Yuan stayed at home for a while and then drove out. This time he drove directly to the warehouse to discuss today's business income with Zheng Man.
The car was parked right next to the warehouse. Zheng Man rode over on a tricycle and saw the car at a glance.
"Has the delivery truck left today?"
"I just bought this car," Tang Yuan said truthfully. "It's convenient for delivering goods back and forth. I bought it for 30,000 yuan."
"Then this car is not cheap," Zheng Man looked at the car seriously, "It's not easy to buy a car in the mainland nowadays, and it's not easy to buy one in Hong Kong either. Ordinary people have to save for several years to buy a car like this."
"Relatively speaking, it's more convenient here," Tang Yuan said, thinking about the situation in Hong Kong, and reminded her, "When you make more money, you can buy a house here. Hong Kong has a large population and little land, and the house prices may go up in the future. If you buy a house, your life will be more convenient for you two sisters in the future."
This time, Zheng Man can earn 6,000 yuan a month from selling tea, which is 72,000 yuan a year. Normally, she can earn 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month from selling WeChat Moments. She can afford a house worth 200,000 yuan in three or four years.
Although Hong Kong's housing prices will not fluctuate much in the next few years, if she can buy a house, the price will increase sooner or later.
"I'll think about it," Zheng Man nodded. "When I save more money, you can recommend a house to me."
"No problem," Tang Yuan agreed, and then asked, "Is the tea business going to be good these days?"
"The tea business is not just around here, it's also in other places, and the business is pretty good," Zheng Man entered the warehouse and looked at the warehouse full of tea again, "I'm afraid there's not enough tea to sell."
"It's enough. If there are more, the small market in Hong Kong may not be able to consume it." Tang Yuan also entered the warehouse, and the two began to count the extra hair bands and small wallets in the warehouse.
During this period, almost three to four thousand kilograms of old tea were delivered every day, which was estimated to be the amount for several nearby villages. If she were to sell such a large quantity by herself, she would not be able to sell much even if she worked from morning to night.
Now Zheng Man has "downlines" who sell tea all over Hong Kong, so she can consume all the tea.
Hong Kong has a population of several million, which is not too small, but only a small number of people are willing to spend money on tea. It is already good enough to be able to consume the current tea.
She estimated that even next year, the amount of tea delivered from Yunnan Province would not be much. After all, there were only a few villages nearby, and news from farther away would not reach them. Even if the news did reach them, it was not worth it to carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of tea all day long just for a few cents.
After counting the hair bands and small wallets, Zheng Man gave the money and took out another 200 RMB.
Tang Yuan took only a glance, then pointed out one thousand Hong Kong dollars and put it in her hand. He did not ask where the money came from or why it was in integers.
No matter who wants to exchange Hong Kong dollars, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, she got the Hong Kong dollars she wanted.
Each gets what they need and has the best of both worlds.
