Before Han Che left, Yan Chen went into the house and packed some rice noodles for him to take back.
"Now, let's take it back and try it. I don't have many at home. On the day Uncle Tao arrived, Xiang Jin invited Uncle Tao to eat and asked us to take it home and cook it ourselves. But then we didn't cook it. When my grandma came back today
Just let us take it with us.”
Han Che looked at the bag of fresh food, which was about one or two kilograms, and said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Yan Chen said, "Aren't you hungry? You can go home and cook yourself!"
"Okay, I'll go then." As soon as Han Che heard what he said, he quickly stretched out his hand to take the bag, and then turned around.
Yan Chen explained from behind, "Don't cook it for too long, just two or three minutes."
"good!"
After Yan Chen left, his sister-in-law asked, "What did you get that boy Han Che to eat, jelly?"
“Pho!”
"Pho?! What is it? Is it delicious?"
Yan Chen asked, "Would you like to cook a bowl for you to try?"
His sister-in-law nodded, "Okay! I just happen to be feeling hungry right now!"
After saying that, Yan Chen stood up and said, "Then wait a moment."
Seeing him heading towards the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, Yan Shu said, "Chen Chen seems to have changed! He never liked going into the kitchen before."
Uncle Ming Tao looked at Yan Chen's back and nodded, "Yes, I have become more down-to-earth and know how to take care of others."
After a while, Yan Chen poked his head out of the kitchen and said to Uncle Ming Tao, "Uncle Tao, help me ask the two at the door if they want a bowl of rice noodles too?"
Although the two of them were standing outside the door, they both had sharp ears. As soon as they heard Yan Chen's words, they looked at each other, and then said to each other happily, "
Then have a bowl?"
"Have a bowl!"
Before Uncle Ming Tao could get closer, he heard the two of them saying this. Uncle Ming Tao turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Everyone, have a bowl!"
Ten minutes later, Uncle Mingtao came to call the two of them, "You go to eat quickly, I will stand guard for you for a while!"
The two thanked them and hurriedly turned around and entered the house. When they saw several bowls of steaming noodle soup in front of them, with meat on top and some green vegetables mixed in, they both grinned, and then
He pulled out the stool and sat down quickly.
Yan Chen and his sister-in-law called to the two of them, "Eat it while it's hot."
The two nodded, and one of them was about to add chili pepper. Yan Chen reminded him, "As for the rice noodles, you have to eat light ones to taste better."
The man quickly retracted his hand, and Aunt Jiang and the other guard laughed.
Yan Chen's sister-in-law said, "Don't mention it yet, this rice noodles is smooth and chewy, and the braised pork tastes good too."
Aunt Jiang was on the side and nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is the first time I have eaten such wide rice noodles. Xiaochen, I heard you say before that this rice noodles can also be fried. No matter how you fry it, it will not become mushy.
What?"
Yan Chen said, "The best way to stir-fry it is to stir-fry it with beef slices, coriander and onions. It will taste better, but without the rice noodles, you won't be able to taste the taste."
His sister-in-law said, "Have you finished eating? Didn't you leave any for your grandpa?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, rice noodles are usually freshly made and eaten. It can't be stored for long. Even if it is placed in the refrigerator, it can only be stored for one day. If it is stored for too long, it will
The rice noodles become hard and stick together, which affects the taste and value of eating, so I cook them together."
Aunt Jiang sighed, "I didn't expect this thing to be so delicate, huh?"
Then her sister-in-law asked, "You have a good memory, so do you know how to make this thing? If you know, then tell Aunt Jiang, your Aunt Jiang can definitely do it."
Aunt Jiang looked at him and nodded eagerly, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Yan Chen said, "This is someone else's recipe for doing business. Can we still steal it?"
His sister-in-law and Aunt Jiang immediately calmed down, "Well, let's forget it!"
Yan Chen said, "Next time I will bring back some rice noodles so that you can have a taste of fried rice noodles."
His sister-in-law then added, "This braised pork tastes good. Remember to bring more braised pork back next time?"
"You like her so much?" Yan Chen looked at his aunt and asked with a smile.
His aunt nodded, "I like it. It tastes much better than the braised pork shop in the east of our provincial capital. The braised pork shop in the east of the city doesn't taste that good. There are actually people queuing up every day."
Go buy it.
Alas, you said that your grandpa’s little place is really well-hidden, and there are still people who can make such delicious braised pork.”
Yan Chen said, "Who said that small places are not as good as big places? In big places, the towns are better built than small places, the transportation hubs are more convenient, and the economy develops faster. In some aspects, they are not necessarily better than small places.
place.
For example, the freshness of the air in my grandpa's small place is better than that in our provincial city. And the pork we eat, almost every household in my grandpa's place uses refined grains to feed the pigs.
But people in our city basically eat pigs. If my grandpa and his family want fresh vegetables, they can pick them from the fields at any time. However, no matter how fresh the vegetables in the city are, they still have a certain effectiveness.
.”
His sister-in-law nodded, "That's exactly what you said."
Yan Chen said, "So, the city has just taken a step forward in development. One day, the countryside will also develop. Just like those developed countries abroad, roads are connected to every household, and mechanized farming will also be implemented in the countryside."
His sister-in-law said, "But that will take many years, and the level of development in our city is still at this level."
Yan Chen said, "We still have at least a few decades of good life, and there is hope that we can succeed."
After the meal was finished, Yan Chen and his sister-in-law called him upstairs to Yan Chen's study to discuss things, while the people below performed their duties. Those who cleaned the kitchen cleaned the kitchen, and those who stood guard went back to stand guard.
"Have you really thought about buying land?" As soon as they arrived at the study, Yan Chen and his sister-in-law went straight to the point.
Yan Chen nodded, "I have already thought about it clearly."
His sister-in-law looked at him for a long time and then said, "I advise you to be more cautious. Once the money is paid, you can't get it back. It's millions, not dozens or hundreds of dollars!"
Our country is now vigorously developing the economy, and has also established several economic experimental zones, but they are just experiments, so you see that all parts of the country are still in a wait-and-see situation. The experiments may succeed or they may fail. Once they fail,
, your millions are just wasted?
Seventy years of use rights. If you say it fails, who will develop that land? It can only be an idle land of little value. You just use it to grow something for seventy years.
You can't get back the money you invested.
If you have millions, instead of investing them, you might as well hold on to those millions. What do you want to do when the time comes? With those millions, you will spend the rest of your life doing nothing.
I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and I can enjoy delicious food and drink spicy food. Isn’t it good to live a life of ease?”
Yan Chen said, "But what if I succeed? Then won't I just make a lot of money?"
His sister-in-law glared at him, "Don't joke with me, be serious, I'm telling you something serious!"
Yan Chen said, "I'm just telling you business! Sister-in-law, didn't you agree with me before? Why did you suddenly go back on your word?"
His sister-in-law said, "Later, I thought about it again and again and felt that this matter was still a bit too risky!"
Yan Chen comforted her and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be so pessimistic about things, okay? Our country doesn't rely on anyone to build both atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs that foreigners think are impossible. It's not a big deal to develop the economy."
What? You have to have confidence in our country!
A few million, perhaps in the eyes of many people, is a fortune that they will look forward to for the rest of their lives, but in my eyes, it is not much. If I am really like you said, I will do nothing for the rest of my life.
If I just eat those millions, wouldn’t I become a rice bug and a useless person?
If I really become that kind of person, all the millions will be squandered soon, right? I didn’t have millions before, so if I really failed in my investment, at worst, I would be back to my old self.
I'm not afraid of failure. What I'm afraid of is that I didn't seize the opportunity when I had it. As you know, I have no interest in joining the army in my life, so I can't follow my grandfather's path, so I have to do it for myself.
Find a way.
As you said, others are waiting and watching, but what I want is to do my own thing while others are still waiting and watching. Once the experiment is successful, then all over the country will follow suit like mushrooms after rain, and businessmen will also hoard a large amount of land.
, the price of land will be high by then, and if I sell it again, oh, how much land can I buy with just my few million?"
His sister-in-law frowned and began to hesitate, and Yan Chen continued, "Sister-in-law, you have to support me, just like grandpa. Grandpa will support me?"
"Since when did your grandfather support you?"
"On that day, the day after I finished talking to you, my grandpa called me, and then I told him about it, and he said that he supports me, no matter what I do in the future,
As long as it doesn't violate laws and disciplines and doesn't endanger national security, he will support me!"
"Your grandfather really said that?" His sister-in-law softened her attitude.
"Well, grandpa said that it is not terrible for a person to fail. What is terrible is that he does not have the courage to face failure. He hopes that I will not be that kind of person. He hopes that I will be someone who dares to make decisions, dare to take all responsibilities, and dare to face and challenge.
All difficult people.
He said that I am still young, and as long as I have determined my life, I will bravely move forward in that direction and don’t be afraid!”
After hearing this, his sister-in-law was silent for a while and then said, "Well, since your grandfather supports you so much, I will give you the more than four million yuan tomorrow."
Yan Chen said, "Why are you calling me? You will buy for me when the time comes. I am still a minor and cannot follow the normal procedures for transactions. You can buy for me first. Then we will find a law firm.
Justice will be done in one fell swoop. When I reach the age of eighteen, all you have to do is transfer the subscription rights to the land to me."
His sister-in-law immediately pretended to be displeased and said, "You brat, you still need a lawyer to get justice. Do you not believe in your sister-in-law's character or something?"
Yan Chen said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. I'm all doing things according to the formal legal procedures. It's all like this. Look at those wealthy businessmen, whether it's between brothers or father and son, if
If there are financial and property rights transactions and settlements, it is necessary to find a reliable lawyer to handle these matters on your behalf, so as to avoid any disputes in the future.
You are my sister-in-law, and I am your nephew. We are each other’s closest relatives, both in terms of blood relationship and emotion. You have treated me like your own son since I was a child, and whether my uncle treats me well, I naturally
I believe in you and uncle.
But my uncle’s parents are not just your son, they also have two sons and a daughter, so in order to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles in the future, I hope that we will sort out these things clearly and understand them from the beginning.
My mother is gone, so here I only have you and grandpa, and He Rui and a few of your relatives. On my grandpa’s side, there are only a few relatives like my grandpa, grandma, uncle and cousin, so I cherish them very much.
!
Therefore, I don’t want us to feel dissatisfied with each other because of such a trivial matter in the future, and the close relationship between us will collapse or even cease to exist.”
After hearing this, his sister-in-law nodded, "My sister-in-law knows that she is also a person who has read books. She can understand and she also cherishes this relationship with you. Don't worry, she won't take it to her heart. We
Ah, when the time comes, we will find a better law firm to represent us in this matter."
Yan Chen nodded.
His sister-in-law followed him and said, "Oh, by the way, are you sure where you want to buy the land? I'm telling you, if you want to buy it, hurry up, otherwise people will be on holiday in a few days and you will have to wait until after the New Year.
.”
Yan Chen said, "I want to go see those pieces of land tomorrow and then talk about it."
His sister-in-law nodded, "I have inquired about the prices of those pieces of land for you. The piece of land next to the first ring road of the south gate and close to the second ring road is about 20 acres, and the price is 500
Six to six hundred yuan per square meter before.
The one on the east gate and the one on the west gate are both outside the Second Ring Road. One has an area of 30 acres and the other has an area of 24 acres. The price of the one on the east gate is a bit more expensive, ranging from 450 to 500 yuan.
The room is one square meter, and the one on the west gate is the cheapest, with the price ranging from 400 to 450."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, I understand."
His sister-in-law suddenly said, "But you can't buy that much land with the little money you have now."
Yan Chen said, "I don't need to buy it all, I just need to sell part of it."
Her sister-in-law nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back and I'll take you to see those pieces of land tomorrow morning."
"good!"
After taking a few steps, his sister-in-law suddenly turned around and said, "Are you really not going to let your dad know about this?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yan Chen's lips, "What do you know? You know it and you ask him to stop me?"
His sister-in-law remained silent.
Yan Chen then added, "This is the money I earned myself. I have the right to control it myself. I know what I am doing, so I don't need him to make decisions for me."
His sister-in-law sighed, "Okay, then I won't tell him about this."
"Um!"
After Yan Chen sent his sister-in-law to the car, he immediately carried his suitcase back to the room. Then he opened the suitcase and took a stack of paintings from it to make. Then he carefully selected a few pictures and the rest.
The painting was locked back into the box again.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Yan Chen asked Uncle Mingtao to accompany him out, and then told Aunt Jiang that if his sister-in-law arrived, she should wait for him at home for a while.
Aunt Jiang agreed.
After getting in the car, Yan Chen said to Uncle Ming Tao, "Uncle Tao, find a bank nearby and stop there. I'll go do something first."
"Which bank?" Uncle Mingtao said, holding the steering wheel and looking seriously ahead.
Yan Chen said, "Any bank is fine!"
"Oh, good! That's easy. There is a People's Bank not far ahead."
"Can!"
After Uncle Ming Tao drove the car to the People's Bank of China, Yan Chen got off there and went directly to the self-service deposit and withdrawal machine.
Uncle Mingtao was smoking, and before he had finished smoking half of the cigarette, Yan Chen came back. He quickly threw the cigarette away, "Is the matter settled so quickly?"
"Well, okay," Yan Chen pulled on the seat belt and fastened it, and asked at the same time, "Why did you just throw away the cigarette? Can you finish smoking before driving?"
Uncle Tao started the car and said, "I won't smoke anymore. I won't smoke anymore. How can I finish smoking cigarettes in my life? I just have nothing to do. I want to kill some time. Where should we go next?"
"Go to the Gulla Oss Gallery!"
"Gler Oss Gallery? Are you selling paintings again?"
"Well, I painted a few paintings in my hometown before, and I am short of some money to buy land."
Uncle Mingtao was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Golle-Oss Gallery. By coincidence, as soon as Yan Chen and the others entered the exhibition hall, they bumped into the gallery's founder, Jean-Paul Gores-Oss.
A positive one.
"Haha, Chen, long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Mr. Os!"
After the two met and shook hands, Mr. Naos said bluntly, "Chen, you haven't sold your works to me for a long time. How about it? Did you find another buyer?"
"Mr. Oss is joking. You are my first partner. How could I not be the first to sell a good painting to you? It's just because I went to study elsewhere and only came back yesterday."
"Oh, so that's it?" Mr. Naos nodded suddenly.
Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Exactly!"
Mr. Aos raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you brought me some works today?"
"You can take a look first."
"Then come to my office and talk," Mr. Ossie immediately made a "please" gesture.
Yan Chen nodded slightly and followed a few others to Aos's office.
After arriving there, Yan Chen directly showed the paintings to him. After Naos carefully looked at several of his paintings several times, he bluntly stated the price, "Chen, these two paintings
, I will give you 300,000 yuan for each painting, 200,000 yuan for these three paintings, and 150,000 yuan for each of these two paintings, how about that?"
After Yan Chen pondered for a moment, he said, "Okay, but can I request payment immediately?"
"Okay," Aos spread his hands, "No problem!"
After saying that, he directly dialed the internal number on the table and asked his finance to handle the matter.
"Chen, you are a genius. In just half a year, your painting level has improved a lot. This time I read different emotions and saw a different soul in your paintings. Then
They are lively, simple, vivid and vivid, not as abstract as before. I have to capture them carefully to find them, especially these two paintings, I particularly like them.
To be honest, if I sell these paintings in foreign exhibition halls, I can get three to five times the price. You won't mind, right?" Ao Si asked them to sit down, and then poured the money for Uncle Mingtao.
A cup of coffee and a cup of water for Yan Chen.
The two took it and thanked them. Yan Chen said, "Thank you Mr. Os for your recognition of my work, but I am an author and I will take the part I deserve. You are a businessman and there is nothing wrong with you pursuing the maximization of your interests.
"
Naos nodded towards him with approval in his eyes, "I just like to work with people like you, calm and generous!"
After saying that, he raised his glass to Yan Chen, and Yan Chen also raised his glass to him, "I also like to cooperate with honest people!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Half an hour later, Ao Si's financial officer came back. He handed a transfer voucher to Ao Si's desk, "Boss, the money has been transferred!"
Aos nodded and motioned for him to go out, and the accountant turned around and left his office.
Aos stood up and handed the transfer voucher in his hand to Yan Chen. Yan Chen reached out to take it, glanced at it casually and handed it to Uncle Mingtao. He also stood up and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Aos, I
If you have anything else to do, please leave first!"
Aos nodded, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "If you have good works, you are welcome to come to me at any time, I will be here at any time!"
"good!"
After returning to the car, Uncle Mingtao was extremely happy. He clapped his hands on the steering wheel twice and said, "Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, Xiao Chen, you are amazing. Now you can actually paint a picture."
It sold for 300,000 yuan."
Yan Chen's lips curled up slightly, "It's only three hundred thousand, don't be too excited!"
"How can I not be excited? Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand. Many people may not earn three hundred thousand in their lifetime, but you can easily earn three hundred thousand with one painting. Do you think I can't be excited?
What?"
Yan Chen reminded him, "Uncle Tao, I have been learning painting since I was very young. After so many years, is it not an exaggeration to say that I have achieved such little results?"
Thinking that since he was a little grown up, he was just such a person, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, sitting in the study room at home all day long practicing painting, Uncle Mingtao's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he curled his eyes.
He turned around and looked out the window, "It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration, your painting is worth even three million!"
Yan Chen laughed, "How can it be so valuable?!"
"Why isn't it valuable? As Osdu said, if your paintings are sold in overseas exhibition halls, they can be sold for three to five times the price. They can be sold at this price now, maybe in a few years.
After ten years, wouldn’t it be more valuable?”
Yan Chen smiled again, "Okay, let's go home, my sister-in-law is still waiting at home."
