With Goudan around, there is always enough juice prepared for the next drink before it runs out; if it cannot be finished on the same day, it will be thrown away and not saved for the next day.
By the time Mr. Yan returned, it was already past one in the afternoon.
At the dinner table, Grandpa Yan handed the document bag to his eldest grandson and said, "Dashan, your application to accept veterans has been finalized. Your application stated that veterans must have good character and strong martial arts skills, and even those with minor disabilities are acceptable. The higher-ups found it feasible and approved it on the spot."
"Okay, thank you." Yan Rushan was not surprised. He took the application and plan and asked, "Do they send the candidates to us, or do we select them ourselves?"
"When they are discharged, we'll recommend suitable companies to them based on their performance. You have to be mentally prepared. Since yours is a new company, fortunately a private one, they may not necessarily choose yours." Old Master Yan gave him a heads-up. "You also have to pay attention to how you accommodate them once they arrive. They've just been discharged, so they certainly don't have much luggage. You have to consider everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation in advance."
Yan Rushan nodded in understanding. "I know, Grandpa. I've already made a preliminary plan. When they come here, the company will first give them half a month's salary. This salary will serve as their living expenses for the current month and the next. The monthly salary is paid on the 28th of each month. The company's salary is determined based on their qualifications and job position. Since they just came, I can only give them a monthly salary of 68 yuan. If they do well and stay for more than a year, I will give them a salary increase based on current wage changes."
"So, when they come, we will only give them an advance of thirty-four yuan in salary, which is enough for their food and drink for this month and the next month." No more.
"What about accommodation?" Mr. Yan thought this was very good treatment. Nowadays, soldiers who join the army only get a few or more than ten yuan a month.
"I will arrange collective accommodation for them. If they want to bring their families over, we don't have the facilities for that at the moment. The company is still developing. If it thrives, I will build housing for them using the collective housing model we have now." Yan Rushan said frankly, "If they insist on bringing their families over, they can also rent or buy a house outside. The company won't interfere."
Veterans all have some money in their hands; if they add the allowances and wages they have saved from previous years and save a little and work hard for a month or two, it is not impossible for them to buy a house in Beijing.
Houses are in short supply in Beijing, but many people also want to sell their houses; housing prices are gradually rising and will not be low in the future.
"That's great too. Let's leave it at that for now." The eldest grandson already had some business, but the transportation company was a new one. Everything was still developing, and the future depended on the younger generation. "Houses in the capital are expensive! I don't think many people would buy them."
"Someone will buy it." Yan Rushan was very confident, which made Old Master Yan curious. "Why do you say that?"
Yan Rushan said, "I've observed that housing prices in Beijing have risen by over a hundred yuan per square meter compared to two years ago. With the economic recovery, housing prices have skyrocketed. I believe that in a few years, housing prices will be frighteningly high. If you can, I suggest buying a few more houses."
"Is that so?" Old Master Yan seemed to be lost in thought. "That makes sense. I have some savings. Can you help me find out? If anything, I can buy a few sets for my three great-grandchildren and give them to them later. If there are any extras, I can buy two more sets for Xiaohai."
"You don't need to buy a house for my child. Yuxiu has already taken care of the real estate business." His daughter-in-law owns at least five properties, three of which he is in charge of, and they are all courtyard houses; he also owns six properties, two courtyard houses, three square meters, and one building.
My wife has three babies in her belly, which is enough for her to share.
Old Master Yan didn't care. "What you give is yours, and what I give to my great-grandson is what I give. How can it be the same? Besides, after a hundred years, won't all these things in my hands belong to you two brothers?"
"It's too early for you to talk about this now. I will keep an eye on the house and tell you if I find a suitable one." He didn't refuse again. The house will not depreciate if it is in his hands. He can buy a few more. He can rent them out if he doesn't live in them, or he can sell them when the house price goes up.
"Well, we need something bigger, not too small. Forget about those tube-shaped buildings. They're like pigeon coops and uncomfortable to live in. If we're going to buy a house, buy a courtyard house or a square house. We can tear it down and rebuild it later." Old Master Yan was a man of advanced ideas and quick thinking. When his eldest grandson mentioned this, he thought of many things. "The houses nowadays look nice, but when I was on business trips, the houses on the Pearl River were really fashionable and stylish. When my great-grandchildren grow up, they can build whatever houses they want."
Yan Rushan no longer wanted to talk. Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "Grandpa, if that's what you think, then you might as well buy a few plots of land and keep them. Land will also increase in value. If you see a good opportunity, buy it. No matter if you sell it later or not, as long as you see a good development opportunity, you won't lose money."
"Really?" Old Master Yan thought for a moment. He couldn't figure it out, but his eldest grandson's wife must have a basis for saying so. "Then buy a few more plots of land. Dashan, I'll leave it to you."
"Do you have enough money?" Yan Rushan asked.
"I don't have much money, but I still have 50,000 yuan; it's definitely enough to buy a house and some land."
He hadn't had any social engagements in recent years, so he gave away a portion each month and saved the rest. After his son and daughter-in-law got married, he hadn't given them any financial support. His two grandsons were older and rarely asked him for money, let alone needed it. Over the years, his accounts had been kept very straight.
Yan Rushan made a rough calculation and found that 50,000 yuan was enough to buy two courtyard houses, three bungalows, and two pieces of land.
"Okay, I'll ask for you." If it wasn't enough, she would give him some more.
Tian Shangguo and Haonan listened to their words and estimated the amount. Haonan asked, "Comrade Yan, are the houses outside expensive?"
"It's expensive, but not expensive either. We have houses ranging from one thousand to ten thousand yuan." After that, Yan Rushan said, "You guys want to buy a house too?"
"Well, after listening to your analysis, I think it's better to exchange the money for a house than to keep it." Haonan spoke frankly, expressing his trust in him. "I have 3,000 yuan in savings. What kind of house can I buy, and in which ring road?"
Yan Rushan said, "Nowadays, it's no problem to buy a bungalow within the Second Ring Road."
Haonan breathed a sigh of relief. "I want to buy one, Comrade Yan, can you help me find one?"
"Okay, it's nothing."
Seeing this, Tian Shangguo said, "Comrade Yan, I also want to buy a house. I have more than 5,000 yuan. I want to buy a small yard with four or five rooms."
The two of them have a lot of savings. They have to send money back home every month, and the rest is in their passbooks. They also have to subsidize their family from time to time. It is really not easy to save such a large sum of money.
