Have you ever thought about expanding your business?
"Sigh! I don't have time! It's just that the timing is good now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people buying, and there isn't that much fabric either." She also wanted to expand her business! But she didn't have the opportunity, there wasn't that much fabric, and even if there was, it was expensive. Cheng Ke was also too busy to handle everything, so expanding was easier said than done.
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Liu Yun didn't ask any more questions. After all, there was no reform and opening up yet, so Liu Jing couldn't go all out. Once the reform and opening up came, her opportunity would arrive. As long as Liu Jing had the ambition to expand, she didn't believe she couldn't get involved. If Liu Jing made it big and easy, what chance would she have? Moreover, Liu Jing was involved in both businesses, so she was the key. Over the years, she had cultivated a good relationship with Liu Jing. If she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to get involved, she would curse herself for being useless. Besides, it would be crazy not to make money when you can.
Although she sold very little this year, her savings had grown considerably. Even though she had donated over a thousand yuan and given away all her items, she had already exceeded the 30,000 yuan limit. On the surface, she was over 30,000 yuan. At the time, fearing that too much would be inconvenient, she had opened several savings accounts: one with 8,000 yuan, one with 6,000 yuan (all from Yu Qianhe, 1,500 yuan a year), one with 5,000 yuan (Yu Qianhe's dowry and betrothal money for his son and daughter), one with 1,000 yuan (her apparent salary), and one with 5,000 yuan (she told Yu Qianhe that it was money she earned from reselling things). When she took out this savings account, Yu Qianhe gave her another one with over 6,000 yuan. Actually, she had secretly saved another 2,000 yuan in her personal space, but she didn't plan to add any more to that account. She also wanted a lot of gold jewelry and jade, and Yu Qianhe had also hidden a lot of small gold coins.
Now, quite a few people have been exonerated. Many of them were terrified by this upheaval and are preparing to sell the houses that were returned to them and leave. This made Liu Yun realize that the opportunity had finally arrived. She was going to spend the money she had saved. She had been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years, and now she could finally begin.
"Old Yu, I've noticed quite a few people are selling houses lately. Do you have time to take a look? If the houses are okay, let's buy a few! People are gradually returning to the city, and the college entrance exams haven't stopped, so even more people will be returning later. Houses won't be as easy to buy then. We have five kids to take care of; we need to buy houses anyway. Otherwise, now's a good opportunity to look around."
Yu Qianhe also considered the current situation and felt that his wife was right.
"I'll ask a friend to help me find out. If there's anything good, we'll go check it out."
Since Yu Qianhe was always reliable, Liu Yun didn't pay much attention to the matter after handing it over to him. Because there were indeed many houses for sale at the moment, a few days later, Yu Qianhe's friend brought him good news.
Yu Qian originally planned to go and make his own selections first, just like before, before taking Liu Yun with him. However, Liu Yun refused after hearing the news and insisted that the two of them go together.
Just kidding, she's not buying the house to actually live in; she's buying it to preserve value and for potential relocation compensation. How can she buy it based on the quality of the house? She has to buy it based on the location.
On Sunday, the two visited more than ten places, including six separate courtyard houses and the rest were tenement buildings. She didn't even consider the tenement buildings except for those that were close to the school and ruled them out immediately.
During dinner that evening, Liu Yun started trying to get information out of Yu's mother.
"Mom, a lot of people are selling houses now. I think Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei will need to have their own house eventually. Now that we have the chance, Qianhe and I went to look at some. We liked six places, but we don't know which one is good. You are knowledgeable and can give me some pointers!"
Upon hearing this, Yu's mother became interested. She might not know about other things, but how could she not know which location was good for a house? There weren't many places in this new city that she didn't know about.
"Oh! Buying a house, in which areas?"
"One apartment is located near the government building, about 200 meters to the left of the park next door. The courtyard isn't large, with only three rooms and a main hall. The price is quite high, 1,000 yuan."
As soon as Yu's mother heard it, she knew where it was. The place was quite nice now, but the government moved there later, and it became an old street. The houses there became old and dilapidated. Unless you buy now and sell before the government moves, you might be able to make a little profit.
"The houses over there are too small, and the prices are too high. It's not worth it."
Yu's father also knew about the place, "but the location is indeed good, and the transportation is convenient."
Upon hearing what Yu's mother said, Liu Yun knew that something was wrong and deleted it immediately.
"There's another apartment in a tenement building, not too far from here, right next to Beibei's school, less than a five-minute walk away. It's on the third floor, and the apartment is even smaller, just two bedrooms and a living room. The rooms aren't big either; the bedroom can only fit a bed, a wardrobe, and a small single desk. But it's cheap, only five hundred yuan, and you can bargain down to a little over four hundred."
"This is a good option! Although the house is small, it's convenient for going to school! And the price isn't too expensive either." This is a good location. Although it won't become a school district house in the future, it will definitely be a demolition area. Schools and mining will be built there, and everything will be demolished.
Mr. Yu felt it was unnecessary, since their home was already close by, and there was no need to buy that small house.
Yu Qianhe seemed to have taken a liking to his wife, and since the family wasn't short of money, they could just buy it. Besides, it was close to the old house, making it convenient to come here in the future.
Hearing Yu's mother say that, he knew things were settled and mentally ticked off the box.
“There’s another one, over at Shanhu Park. The yard there is twice the size of our current one, and the asking price is only 1,000 yuan.”
That's where the future government will move to, and the commercial street is not far away; it's a great place.
"That's great! A bigger house is better, since there are many children in the family."
