Chapter 186 186. Dinner and Chat
Gangzi's real name was Wang Gang, a notorious scoundrel in the military compound. He occasionally worked temporary jobs, relying on the black market for most of his income. Oh, Shi Liu remembered Zhou Pan once saying that his black market manager in Beijing was named Gangzi.
Although Zhou Pan had a heavy workload, he had learned everything about the black market in Hai City in less than half a year. However, as he was a newcomer, it was not convenient for him to interfere in the affairs of the black market. Gangzi's idea gave him an idea.
"Gangzi, have you ever thought about studying financial management?"
Gangzi paused when he heard this and asked uncertainly: "Brother, do you think studying finance now has a future? I don't plan to work in a government department." Working in a government department requires being on time, which he thinks is almost like being in jail and too depressing.
Zhou Pan noticed Gangzi's displeasure and twitched his lips: "How long have you not been home?"
Gangzi looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Laoliu didn't expect that his best friend still didn't know about the change of wind direction. "The higher-ups are interested in opening up the market. You should learn first. It will be useful in the future."
Gangzi really didn't know about this. Recently, his boss asked him to take it easy, so he suspended the black market. The old man at home was busy arranging blind dates for him. Gangzi felt disgusted and simply lived outside and didn't go home. He never expected that he would miss such important information.
Since he chose to wander around the black market, he naturally likes the feeling of making money. It can be said that he is a natural businessman.
So when Gangzi heard the news, he was immediately excited: "Sixth Brother, is your news accurate? I've wanted to do business honestly for a long time. With all the good stuff we have, how can we have trouble selling it? If this news is true, I'll buy each of you a courtyard house in Haishi."
Zhou Laoliu was immediately amused. Although he was an only child, he didn't have much money, so it was unrealistic for him to buy a courtyard house by himself. "Hahaha, Gangzi, you are so capable. Brother Hai City's courtyard house depends on you!"
The other three also joined in the fun, clamoring for Gangzi to buy them a courtyard house.
Shi Liu's eyes twitched as she watched from the side. She wasn't even sure if she could get into university, but she was already imagining the courtyard houses she would own in the future. There were six people sitting there, so Wang Gang would have to buy six courtyard houses. Well, she included herself in the picture.
"Which school are you planning to apply to? My first choice is Hai City's No. 1 Medical University. I plan to study pharmaceuticals. We could collaborate if we have the chance in the future."
This was a real problem for Gangzi. He was a person who resold supplies on the black market and didn't have the courage to get involved in the medical field. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law was so brave.
In fact, Wang Gang was overthinking this. Many pharmaceutical companies in later generations were privately owned. It can only be said that the misunderstanding was caused by information asymmetry.
Zhou Pan pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Gangzi, let's open up the market. In the future, there will even be private hospitals. Selling medicine will be a normal thing."
Gangzi immediately looked at his eldest brother with admiration. The eldest brother is the eldest brother. He actually predicted that there would be private hospitals in the future. This was something they dared not even think about. However, if Zhou Pan heard Gangzi's thoughts, he might tell Gangzi that it was because the Zhou family had a private hospital in the previous life. He was a witness to history, not a prophet.
Gangzi was also aroused by his ambition. He opened his mouth to say Hai City First Medical University, but after a while, he suddenly lost his temper: "My grades have always been average. This time I picked up my studies again after putting them down. I'm afraid my college entrance examination results will not be very ideal."
Zhou Laoliu slapped his thigh and said, "I remember you actually failed high school. Are you really okay with this exam? You better not fail it."
Gangzi's face twitched, and he quickly tried to save his dignity, "That's not the case. The review materials that big brother sent me before were very impressive. I saw several similar questions on the test paper. A good undergraduate might not be able to get in, but a junior college shouldn't be a problem."
Speaking of this set of review materials, the other three people taking the college entrance examination also have something to say.
"Brother, where did you get this review material?"
"Which old professor wrote this? This is incredible."
"That's right. Even a poor student like me feels a hundred times more confident after diligently reviewing—"
Shi Liu felt a little embarrassed when she heard the four people praising her one after another. In fact, she had not planned to give the review materials she compiled to Zhou Pan at the beginning, but Zhou Pan directly asked her for a few copies. Now it seems that the review materials are quite effective.
Finally, Gangzi said with some regret, "If I wasn't worried about the higher-ups checking, I would have made thousands of copies and sold them. They would definitely sell out. What a pity..."
Zhou Pan, a former businessman himself, naturally understood the regret of missing out on opportunities that could have yielded significant profits. He offered solace, "That information is indeed good, but if you rashly share it, not everyone will necessarily approve. The college entrance exam has proven its quality, and if you sell it later, I'm sure everyone will be willing to pay for it."
Gangzi looked surprised: "Brother, didn't you say that this information can't be sold?"
Zhou Pan hurriedly explained: "This is a different time now. After a while, the supervision from above will not be so strict." The higher-ups don't dare to make any moves now. They are just worried that something might go wrong with the first college entrance examination. They just have to wait until everything is settled.
Shi Liu didn't care much about politics and didn't really understand these things, so he just kept his head down and didn't interrupt.
Don't think that Gangzi, Zhou Laoliu and others were very enthusiastic when they saw Shi Liu. In fact, they were just doing it for Zhou Pan's sake. Now that they saw her graceful and elegant appearance, they immediately felt a liking for her and felt that their eldest brother had better taste than Grandpa Zhou.
They knew at first sight that Xu Manli was a fake. Most of her messy affairs were known to those senior executives who often mingled in the black market. Only Mr. Zhou didn't care about these things, otherwise he would have known about it long ago.
Grandpa Zhou knew from the beginning that his eldest grandson was going to come to Beijing with his girlfriend, but the old man was too proud to give in. As a result, when he saw that the person still hadn't arrived at this hour, Grandpa Zhou immediately became anxious.
"Xiao Wang, why hasn't Zhou Pan come back yet?" Even if the train was late, it wouldn't be so late. I hope nothing happens again.
Guard Xiao Wang was suddenly embarrassed and could only answer honestly: "I heard from the Sixth Young Master that he was going to pick up the Eldest Young Master. They will go directly to the Huayue Hotel for dinner, and then return to the Eldest Young Master's courtyard." The implication was that they would not come over for dinner.
Mr. Zhou's body suddenly froze. He didn't expect that even though he was willing to accept Shi Liu as his granddaughter-in-law, his eldest grandson was still unwilling to come back to live with him.
After a while, Mr. Zhou asked quietly, "Xiao Wang, do you think I did something wrong?"
Guard Xiao Wang also felt that the commander was meddling too much. Although he didn't know Comrade Shi Liu, he believed that the girl the young master liked couldn't be too bad. In his opinion, the young master was already powerful enough, so why did he have to arrange a marriage? This was something he could never understand.
