Chapter 146
Zhen Zhen thinks that the next twenty years will belong to the real estate era, and being a real estate agent is also in line with the trend.
"Have you saved enough capital?"
Dongdong knew that his aunt didn't care about his little money, so he told her the truth: "I have saved 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. I originally wanted to save it for a few years and buy a house. If I want to be a real estate agent, I won't buy a house first, but start the business first."
Meng Hua develops real estate in Beijing, but the real estate market in Beijing has not been very popular in recent years.
The house couldn't be sold, so the government introduced a new policy to sell houses. If you buy a house in a designated area and pay 20,000 yuan in construction funds, you can move your family's household registration to Beijing.
Zhen Zhen pondered and said:
"Let Meng Hua find you a house and transfer it to your name first."
Dongdong's eyes widened. "That won't do, Auntie. Although we are relatives, relatives are relatives and business is business. I can't take your house for nothing."
Dongdong is not a child who has not entered society.
Having good relationships with relatives is one thing, but you can't take it for granted just because they are nice to you.
We should still keep things clear when it comes to money.
If Meng Hua gave him a discount, he would gladly accept it, but he would never take something from someone else for free.
Seeing that he insisted, Zhen Zhen said, "Then just keep the debt for now. When you have money, I will return the money to you, Meng Hua."
Dongdong thought this method was feasible. He also wanted to buy an apartment in Beijing to avoid renting a house and moving around in the rain.
"Then I'll return it to him when I make money."
"No rush." Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and gave him some suggestions. "It's not enough for you to just do rental and second-hand house sales now. You should also work with real estate developers to sell new houses."
Dongdong nodded: "Once I have a store and recruit some employees, I will contact all the major real estate developers."
“I recommend you to have an online website.”
"Online? What does that mean?" The Internet penetration rate in Beijing is much higher than in Xinyao, but Dongdong is out and about all day and has no time to go online. He is also not comfortable with computer operation. In his opinion, online transactions are too unreliable and definitely not as stable as offline transactions.
Zhenzhen explained the meaning of online transactions. Dongdong was a little hesitant when he heard that he wanted to open an online store.
“Will anyone see it?”
“Of course someone is watching.”
“How much does it cost to build a website?”
Zhen Zhen didn't understand the market situation, "It will cost tens of thousands of yuan at least."
Dongdong recently used the Panda group chat to conduct transactions.
He thought that since the online website charged money, it would be better to just post the message on Panda Account.
Zhen Zhen said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll invest in you to build a website?"
"You're investing in me?"
The millennium was approaching, the real estate industry was booming, and Zhen Zhen had some spare money, so he wanted to find some projects to invest in.
Not only did she want to invest in the real estate agency industry, she also wanted to take advantage of the low land prices and stock up more land across the country.
Especially the central plots in major cities. As long as she gets the land, plus her investment in the Internet industry, she doesn't have to do anything and can just live a life of idleness and wait for death.
Zhen Zhen explained what he meant. Dong Dong didn't know much about the Internet, so he just said he would find out about the market situation when he got back and then get back to Zhen Zhen.
When Zhen Ersao heard that Dongdong had rejected the house, she said anxiously:
"I gave you a house for free, but you didn't want it. You actually offered money to me! Your aunt is rich. She's worth hundreds of millions and has chain businesses all over the country. A house is nothing to her! Are you stupid?"
Zhen Ersao thought that Sun Zi was stupid, and she was not a greedy person, but when someone offered it for free, who could resist such temptation?
But Dongdong pretended to be noble and offered to give money.
"How much does a house in Beijing cost?" asked Zhen's second brother.
Dongdong said truthfully: "The property developed by my cousin costs at least 500,000 yuan per unit."
"Five hundred thousand?" Zhen Ersao felt as if the sky had fallen, as if pie had fallen from the sky, but her grandson didn't know how to open his mouth.
Wang Ling didn't have so many thoughts. Although 500,000 is a lot, their family has worked hard for so many years. Even if they can't come up with 500,000, a down payment will be ok, right?
"Mom, you can't be greedy. It's good enough that he is willing to let Dongdong make money and then pay it back slowly."
Zhen Xiangyang also felt that one should not be too greedy. With the advice of his aunt, he opened a car and motorcycle shop, as well as several repair shops in recent years.
The family bought a villa and a storefront, and was also able to give Dongdong a down payment for a house in Beijing, all thanks to his aunt.
Their family is well-off in Xinyao City. How can people be so greedy?
I searched the Internet for information and found that the number of Internet users has increased a lot in recent years.
Posting rental information on the Internet does indeed reach a wider audience.
Dongdong put on his coat and called a classmate who was majoring in computer science to consult about the Internet.
This classmate works in Shenzhen, where there is strong support for the computer industry. He thinks that if he develops a house rental website with branches in all cities, people can find it by searching on the Internet, and he will definitely make money.
After hearing this, Dongdong told Zhen Zhen about wanting her to invest.
Zhen Zhen didn't waste time talking and asked Dongdong to find a house to open a store first.
"We will open more branches in Beijing and other major cities, and we will make our stores a national chain."
"good."
"Once the Internet website is built, we will put the rental information on it. We will do our best to do it."
Zhenzhen thinks that the agency can expand its business and run department stores and property management businesses. How could Dongdong dare to dream of such a thing?
He just wanted to take over a few surrounding communities and take the housing resources from his grandparents. That would be enough.
Earning tens of thousands of yuan a year is already considered a middle-class income, what else do you want?
He had never even thought about opening a chain of stores, doing Internet business, or setting up a property mall as Zhen Zhen suggested.
But he could see that his aunt was serious.
For the first time, Dongdong felt that rich people think differently from ordinary people.
People don't care about money, they care about efficiency.
They need to see results in the shortest possible time.
Dongdong quickly returned to Beijing with Zhen Zhen's expectations, and looked for a shop and a house seriously, hoping to set up the entire stall in the shortest time possible.
People cannot go against the times.
Dongdong followed the trend and soon saw results.
His dozen or so chain stores were doing a booming business. After simply building a website, he hired employees to fill in listings for him every day and placed ads on search engines and Panda Accounts.
Soon, his agency started to gain momentum.
Dongdong stood at the door of the agency store, always feeling a sense of unreality, as if he was being led and pushed forward by fate.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. This year, Zhenxin Group has achieved good results. The newly launched chocolate cookies have become popular in China, with astonishing sales.
True mineral water and sports drinks also have a considerable market share.
As usual, Zhen Zhen distributed rice, flour, oil and sanitary napkins to employees as holiday rewards. In addition, the employees also received nice holiday red envelopes.
The welfare system of Zhenxin Group has made people outside jealous.
These days, state-owned enterprises are closing down one after another, and more and more people are losing their jobs.
The welfare benefits of private enterprises are not as good as those of state-owned enterprises. There are not many companies like Zhenxin Group that treat their employees as human beings.
The logistics company sent back a color TV and a DVD player. Zhen Zhen signed for the express delivery and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the sender and found that it was sent by Meng Dong.
"It's different now. The Internet era is here, and logistics and express delivery are becoming more and more advanced. If I send a color TV from Beijing, it will arrive at my home in four days."
Tao Aihong looked around, "Just one? Didn't this brat send it to us?"
Meng Eryong pinched his waist and laughed, "This kid only cares about his grandmother. He doesn't care about me and his mother at all."
Tao Aihong curled her lips, as if she had eaten a sour date. She felt that she had raised her son in vain. Other sons were filial to their mothers, but Meng Dong, on the other hand, only had his grandmother in his heart.
However, the DVD player and color TV that Meng Dong sent were both the latest models.
"What kind of color TV is this? It looks like a cabinet, and it can even stand on the ground."
Tao Aihong is so happy that if her son sent her such a TV, she would definitely go out and show it off.
Unfortunately, the TV is at her mother-in-law's house, so she can only come to her mother-in-law's house to watch TV.
Since moving into the new house, the home has become more spacious, and Tao Aihong also lives in the elevator apartment she had always dreamed of.
Her house is also two hundred square meters, which is enough for her and Meng Eryong to live in when her son is not at home.
But she just feels that her things are not good in any way, and she thinks her mother-in-law's things are better than hers.
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "A large rear-projection color TV, a new model! This one is not cheap. Let me take a look at the bill... Oh, more than 80,000! That's enough to buy a house!"
Tao Aihong's eyes widened. "How much? More than 80,000? For a TV? This Meng Dong really knows how to spend money recklessly. A TV costs more than 80,000! He's showing off just because he has a little money. Why doesn't he go to heaven?"
The Meng family are all low-key. Tao Aihong is used to being frugal and has no other hobbies except buying gold.
Spending 80,000 to buy a TV is enough for her to brag about for half a year!
Zhang Cuihua came over to bring me some pickled cucumbers, which she had pickled with soybean paste. The pickled cucumbers were refreshing and especially suitable for breakfast with rice porridge.
It was the first time that Zhang Cuihua saw a large projection TV and she was so amazed that she couldn't close her mouth.
"This TV has a big screen and looks high-end," Zhang Cuihua said as she sat on the sofa. She thought the large rear-projection TV was very comfortable to watch and much clearer than the old color TV. "How much did you pay for it? I want to get one too."
Tao Aihong said proudly: "It's not expensive, just 10,000 yuan!"
"How much?" Zhang Cuihua's eyes widened. "My goodness, a TV set costs 10 million? You can't even afford it if you sell me!"
Tao Aihong was immediately satisfied when she saw that Zhang Cuihua was more surprised than herself.
Zhen Zhen waved his hands, "Cuihua, if you have money, use it to buy a house, don't buy these things! Just this large rear-projection TV worth more than 80,000 yuan, and after more than ten years, it was sold to a junk collector for 50 yuan, and they thought it was too much trouble! Electronic products are replaced quickly, and ordinary people like us really don't need it."
Zhang Cuihua pursed her lips, "We are ordinary people, but you are not. You are a rich lady! You are a wealthy woman! You are the pride of us women!"
The two were sitting and eating melon seeds when they heard a knock on the door. They opened the door and saw a young man in a black shirt standing at the door. Zhang Cuihua was about to ask who he was looking for when she took a closer look and felt that the man looked familiar.
The other party asked: "Grandma Cuihua, don't you recognize me?"
Zhang Cuihua slapped her thigh and said, "Xiao Wu! You are Xiao Wu Wa! Meng Bei? You have changed a lot. You are taller, your skin is darker, your baby fat is gone, and your body is strong. I didn't recognize you!"
Meng Bei smiled. His skin was a little tanned from the sun, revealing his white teeth.
"Where's my grandma?"
Zhen Zhen came out wearing reading glasses, and for a moment he didn't dare to recognize her.
Meng Bei sent photos home, but the soldier looked quite different from himself. He was much taller than in the photos and looked like a grown man!
Zhen Zhen's eyes were red. "I was thinking last night, it would be great if Xiaowu could come back. If he doesn't go home for the New Year, he should come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Who would have thought that my Xiaowu would really come back."
"Grandma!" Meng Bei ran over and hugged her tightly. He found that her height was not as high as before. He had to bend down to hug her shoulders. "Grandma, Xiaowu missed you so much!"
Zhen Zhen hugged Meng Bei and wiped away tears. "When people get older, they tend to feel sad. My Meng Bei has grown up and is much taller than grandma."
"I am taller than my brother and the tallest in the family."
Zhang Cuihua said with a smile: "If Tan Cong is not as tall as you, then you are the tallest in the family."
Meng Bei put down his backpack. He only took a package home. It was simple and very soldier-like.
It was his first time in the new house. He looked around and was shocked by its emptiness and simplicity.
But his troops' array was also simple, and seeing his home like this made him feel quite comfortable.
Tao Aihong and Meng Eryong received the news and rushed over.
They were all reminiscing about the past. Seeing this, Zhang Cuihua took the initiative to roll up her sleeves and go to the kitchen. "Xiaowu likes the mixed fish hotpot and roasted local chicken made by Aunt Cuihua the most."
Cheng Su was also surprised when she saw Xiao Wu, "My goodness, you have grown so tall! You can even find a partner now!"
Meng Bei shouted, "Aunt Cheng Su!"
"Your grandmother often talks about you. She even mentioned you last night. She was afraid that you might be injured in the army, so she didn't want to tell me."
Meng Bei smiled happily and hugged Zhen Zhen's shoulders, "Grandma, where is my sister?"
"Your sister has a boyfriend in Hong Kong and is dating him. Your second and fourth sisters are in Beijing and don't plan to come back this year. Your brother is building a branch in Xinyao and also a logistics company. You will see him when you turn around."
Zhen Zhen asked Meng Bei about his time in the army, and Meng Bei answered one by one.
When he came back this time, Meng Bei found that his grandmother was a little older than he remembered.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
"Very well, your great-grandmother and I have physical examinations twice a year, often get some sun, and take vitamins regularly. You don't have to worry about us."
Old Mrs. Meng was also very happy to see Meng Bei. Tao Aihong always said that Meng Bei was not as good as Meng Dong, but let her see that Meng Bei was much stronger than his brother.
After training in the army, I became more manly.
Old Mrs. Meng likes young men to be stronger and more muscular. The more she looks at Meng Bei, the more satisfied she is. She always thinks that Zhen Guizhi has improved the Meng family's genes, and all of their descendants will be good-looking.
During dinner, Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Your children and grandchildren are all good-looking, unlike the eldest son's family, who are all ugly."
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "If your sister-in-law heard you say this, she would definitely complain about you."
Old Lady Meng was not trying to flatter Zhen Guizhi, but because these children were all quite decent.
Old Mrs. Meng walked out with her back straight, looking incredibly proud.
Old Mrs. Meng thought Meng Bei was too thin and was afraid that he had no money to spend, so she secretly took out a stack of money from under his quilt.
Meng Bei looked at the money that Old Lady Meng had wrapped in a towel and couldn't help laughing:
"Grandma, I have money, you don't have to give it to me."
"Where did you get the money? Your allowance is not enough for you to spend." Old Mrs. Meng slowly opened her handkerchief and took out a stack of money. "Grandma has a lot of money, all given to me by your grandma. She gives me 1,000 yuan pocket money every month, and I am not allowed to spend it all! Oh my God, how can I spend so much money?"
Meng Bei refused with a smile, "My grandma gave it to you, so just keep it for yourself. I'm really rich, I have shares in the film and television company opened by my fourth sister."
"Ah? You still have shares?"
Meng Bei is quite proud. Although he is isolated from the news in the army, his brothers and sisters all miss him.
"Yes, my brother's company also asked me to invest money. He gave me some shares and I get dividends every year. My eldest sister also gave me some. Now I don't have to do anything, and I can get a million every year."
Old Mrs. Meng still felt uneasy, so she stuffed more than two thousand yuan into his pocket.
"Use it to buy candy and have dinner with friends. You are grown up now, you can't be without money."
Old Mrs. Meng insisted on giving it, so Meng Bei had no choice but to accept it.
Xinyao City has changed a lot. When Meng Bei was at home, the wholesale market had not yet opened and the airport had not yet started construction.
He wandered around, had dinner with his classmates, and played a game of basketball before going home.
As soon as he got on the elevator, he saw a woman in high heels rushing towards him, and the elevator was instantly filled with the smell of perfume.
"Sister?" Meng Bei's eyes widened. He looked at Meng Nan, who was wearing a red waist-hugging skirt, wavy hair, and eye makeup, in disbelief. "You are my sister, right? Or are you a monster from somewhere? How can you imitate other women's makeup?"
Meng Nan also recognized him. She grabbed Meng Bei's ear and said, "Little brat, your sister is not a girl, could she be a boy?"
"no……"
Meng Bei found it unbelievable. Meng Nan used to dress up, but her clothes tended to be more neutral and she didn't like to put on makeup.
"You didn't look like this before. Did you have plastic surgery?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
"That's right, that's more like my sister!"
Meng Nan rolled his eyes, but couldn't help chattering to Meng Bei about her condom making.
Meng Bei was still an innocent little virgin and would blush when he heard the word "condoms". Who would have thought that Meng Nan would directly throw a box at him.
"Brother! You are my connection in the army! You have many comrades, give them all if they need it! Please ask them to fill out a questionnaire."
"Sister, this is too much."
Meng Nan was so angry that he laughed. Why is this little chick still shy?
Meng Dong also came back. As soon as he unbuttoned his suit, he saw Meng Bei, "Brother!"
"Brother!" Meng Bei jumped and hugged him, "Brother, I miss you so much!"
"Why don't you call me?"
"Grandma said you were busy, so I didn't bother you. I heard you were in love. Am I going to have a sister-in-law?"
"Well, your sister-in-law is also in Xin Yao. Let's have dinner together later."
"What kind of person is my sister-in-law?"
Meng Dong thought for a moment, "A beautiful woman with high IQ, rational and talented! Very ambitious, she is my ideal perfect partner."
Meng Bei became more and more curious. He and Meng Dong grew up sleeping in the same quilt. When it was cold in winter, his brother would hug him to sleep.
The first time he had a nightmare, it was his brother who told him the reason.
Meng Dong is Meng Bei's idol. It is hard for Meng Bei to imagine what it would be like for his brother to have a sister-in-law.
"Brother, how is your and sister-in-law's company developing?"
"Not bad. We have established logistics companies across the country, and our self-operated product categories have expanded from books and CDs to food, clothing, milk powder, computers and other fields."
Meng Dong turned on the computer and demonstrated it to Meng Bei. Meng Bei was stunned. He never expected that times changed so quickly.
Meng Bei used to be heartless, asking his grandmother for money every day, wishing to empty her wallet. But now he knows how to be nice to his grandmother, only sharing good news and not worries.
From looking up at his grandmother to looking down at her head, Meng Bei knew that this was what it felt like to grow up.
When he was a child, he always dreamed of growing up quickly, but now he realizes that growing up is not a good feeling.
Why can't people live in the past forever?
Meng Bei has more than half a month of vacation, and he plans to spend some time with his grandmother.
Zhen Zhen felt that this boy had become clingy. He either accompanied her for dinner or went shopping with her, just like when he was four or five years old again.
There are many legends about the millennium being the end of the world.
Zhen Zhen didn't take it seriously, but Meng Bei was very interested and often searched the Internet for the legend of the millennium.
Meng Nan was not interested in any of this; she was completely focused on her boyfriend.
She and her boyfriend have a stable relationship and they love each other very much. The man has proposed to meet his parents and they would like to get married next year.
Meng Nan was a little confused, thinking that it was too fast. "Grandma, do you think I should marry her?"
Zhen Zhen opened the quilt and lay down in it. "How can we say whether or not to get married? If you like it, get married. If you don't like it, forget it."
Meng Nan liked him very much and had a relationship with her boyfriend, but she always felt that something was missing.
After the passion faded, she found that her love for the other person was not enough to make her want to get married.
"I want to be with him, but I don't want to live in Hong Kong, and I don't want to learn Cantonese for him."
Zhen Zhen glanced at his granddaughter and said, "That is to say, you like him, but you are not willing to change for him, and you don't feel the urge to get married?"
"Yes, that's what I mean! Grandma really understands me! I just don't want to change for a man! But if I don't change, it will be difficult to get married."
Meng Nan is quite conflicted. She keeps saying she doesn't want to get married, but she still looks forward to marriage.
She is not young anymore, and this time she likes the man's family background, appearance, and personality.
If she can't get married, she's afraid she'll never have marriage in her life.
Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, my granddaughter. You won't be sentenced if you don't get married."
Meng Nan tilted his head and thought, indeed, there would be no sentence for getting married, so what was she struggling with?
Meng Nan's love came and went quickly, and after the passion faded, she turned her attention to her work again.
She seems to be feeling a little weird these days, and seems to be particularly sleepy.
She thought it was because she flew so often and didn't get enough rest.
It was not until this month when his period did not come that Meng Nan went to the pharmacy and bought a test strip.
She felt a little nervous and had a bad feeling.
She is thirty years old, has money, a company, and a boyfriend who wants to marry her. Even if she does have a child, it is not a big deal.
