On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, because Han Che flew back to Shanghai at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Chen, Xiang Jin, and his childhood friends gathered together again, as well as Ouyang Bo and Zeng Haoze.
It can be regarded as a practice for Han Che.
But he was not at home this time. His friends wanted to see what the hot pot restaurant they opened in BJ was like, so Yan Chen and the others went to their own hot pot restaurant.
Because Han Che knew the specific location of their hot pot restaurant, he led a few people there directly without meeting them at their home, and then went there together.
When Xiang Jin and his family of five arrived, they had already arrived in advance and sat in the private room, and they all ordered the dishes rudely.
After everyone briefly greeted each other, they sat down one after another.
Han Che handed the menu to them, "We have already ordered, what do you think you would like to eat?"
Yan Chen asked, "Red pot or mandarin duck pot?"
Han Che said, "The red pot one."
Yan Chen said, "Let's change it to the Yuanyang Hot Pot. Our Mrs. Yan can't eat spicy food."
The waiter standing nearby nodded immediately, "Okay!" Then he turned around and left the box.
Several people had confused expressions on their faces, "Oh, that's it. Is there such a thing about pregnancy?"
Yan Chen said, "Learn a little!"
Several people said with disdain, "Hey!"
Yan Chen ignored them. After quickly browsing the menu, he picked up a pen and ticked a few items that Xiang Jin liked to eat. Then he handed the menu to his cousin, who took it and followed it.
After discussing with his cousin and ordering a few things,
Then it was passed to Ouyang Bo. Ouyang Bo took it and glanced at it casually and said, "I don't have anything good to order. These are the dishes I like to eat." After that, he put the menu and pen aside.
, wait for the waiter to take it down and prepare the dishes.
Wang Yu took a look at the box and said, "Yan Chen, Mrs. Yan, it's okay. Your hot pot restaurant is big enough. This may be the largest and most luxuriously decorated of all your hot pot restaurants."
Alright?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it is decorated according to Kyoto style. Our store is not the largest in area. There are many large catering groups in Kyoto."
Xiang Jin said, "That's right, there are many buildings with several floors, and each floor has an area of hundreds or thousands of square meters, so ours is nothing."
Jiang Han said, "Damn, this is nothing? Are you too modest?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's not modesty, but it's a fact. There are many old stores with hundreds of years of development history in the capital. Some of them were opened by the chefs of the royal palaces in the feudal society in the past. Any one of these stores costs hundreds of dollars.
The store has a thousand square meters, if you don’t believe me, ask Han Che, he knows BJ quite well.”
Everyone looked at Han Che in unison, and Han Che nodded and said, "That's right, the most indispensable thing in the capital is three kinds of people, the rich, the powerful, and the powerful, so
There are really many hotels and restaurants here that were opened by the chefs of the royal palaces or noble families.
If you want to try some palace cuisine then, you can do so, like the ‘Fangshan’ restaurant in Tiananmen Square, which is opened by the Imperial Chef.”
Wang Yu said, "Palace food? Isn't that expensive?!"
Han Che said, "It's not bad, it's not very expensive, you can afford it."
Wang Yu immediately turned his head and looked at Jiang Han, "When are we going to try it?"
Jiang Han asked, "When will you start work?"
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh!"
The dishes were served one after another, followed by the hot pot base. After the hot pot meal, everyone found a teahouse to stay for a while. Han Che stood up and said that he was going to the airport, so everyone stood up and joined in.
He said goodbye.
Wang Yu and Jiang Han both hugged him respectively and said something like "Have a nice trip" and "We'll meet again when we have the opportunity". Then Han Che turned sideways and said to Yan Chen, "The real estate certificate of my house."
Could you please help me follow it?"
Yan Chen nodded slightly, and Ouyang Bo asked, "Did you leave your luggage in the car or in the hotel?"
Han Che said, "It's in the car below."
Ouyang Bo said, "Then I will drive you to the airport later and tell you something by the way."
Han Che said, "Okay, but if you drive the car and leave, what will they do?"
Yan Chen said, "We drove two cars here."
Han Che nodded, "Oh, okay!"
After everyone came out of the teahouse and watched Han Che and the others leave, Wang Yu immediately said to Yan Chen, "Brother, and Mrs. Yan, we are going back later, and today is just the opportunity.
I say goodbye to you, we won’t go to your house tomorrow. I wish you a happy new year, may your love last forever, and make a lot of money again this year.”
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen both nodded and thanked, and Yan Chen said, "How many days will you stay?"
Wang Yu and Jiang Han said that they had to go to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. They also visited some famous tourist attractions in BJ these two days and would come back next time they have the opportunity.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded in understanding, and then Jiang Han said to Yan Chen, "Let's keep in touch by phone then?"
Yan Chen nodded, and Jiang Han continued, "Don't forget to notify me when your eldest nephew is born, and also inform me when you hold the wedding. I will try to come back to attend."
Yan Chen nodded again, "Okay!"
Jiang Han said to Xiang Jin, "Mrs. Yan, thank you for your warm hospitality?"
Xiang Jin said politely to the other party, "No, no, please forgive me for the poor reception."
Jiang Han smiled slightly, and then said politely to them, "You are welcome to come to Qingdao, but I think Mrs. Yan will have to wait until you give birth to the child before she can make the trip, but it doesn't matter, you can follow me then.
Yan Chen came to our place for his honeymoon, and the scenery there is pretty good."
Xiang Jin smiled, "Thank you!"
After saying goodbye, Jiang Han and the others got in the car, and Wang Yu said to Yan Chen, "See you in the provincial capital!"
"See you in the provincial capital!"
Jiang Han's car drove away, followed by Xiang Jin and his family of four. However, when the car passed near a large shopping mall, Yan Chen's cousin said they were going down to buy something and asked them to go back first.
So Yan Chen pulled over the car and stopped, and then Yan Chen and his cousin dragged his cousin out of the car.
Xiang Jin said, "Today I sent Han Che and the others away. Tomorrow my parents, my brother and my aunt will go back, and the day after tomorrow my cousins and cousins will go back too. This is how the year ends.
?”
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it just the first few days of the New Year?"
Xiang Jin said, "I mean, then there will only be a few of us at home again."
"Uncle and aunt won't leave yet. They won't go back until after the Lantern Festival. Why, are you reluctant to leave your parents, your brother and the others?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's not true. Well, my cousin and sister-in-law will go back the day after tomorrow, so they won't buy a house in BJ?"
Yan Chen said, "I'm going to buy it, but I'm still a little hesitant. My cousin is interested in Jinchen Apartment and Huarong Apartment on Financial Street, but my cousin is interested in Peninsula International Apartment on the Chaoyang Campus of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University.
The reason is that they don't often stay here in BJ. If the uncle and aunt buy a courtyard house, then the house will be just for their family of three and a cousin to live in when her parents come here.
So the house doesn’t need to be too big, a small apartment of three or two will be enough. Most of them are small apartments there, and the house prices are also cheap, several times cheaper than the two that my cousin is interested in.”
Xiang Jin asked, "How much does Peninsula International cost per square meter now? And how much does the house my cousin-in-law likes cost per square meter?"
Yan Chen said, "I heard from my cousin that the house in Peninsula International is only 6,300. The Jin Chen Apartment that my cousin is interested in costs more than 19,000, and the Huarong Apartment costs more than 21,000."
Xiang Jin said, "Your cousin-in-law really knows how to pick and choose, and she will rush for the expensive ones."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yan Chen's lips, "How does she know how to buy a house? Now I think everything is pretty good, but that may not be the case in the future!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, you are right. Husband, why don't we buy a few more houses near some key middle schools and key elementary schools? Now we are developing the economy, and in the future the country may pay attention to education.
You see, when the economy develops to a certain height and is on par with developed countries in the world, competition between countries will definitely appear in the fields of talent and technology.
How does technology come about? It must require highly educated technical talents. Then those good schools will not be crowded by others, and it will also be convenient for our children to study, right?
At that time, if the place where they study is too far away from our courtyard and it is inconvenient, we will move directly to an apartment. But we have to buy at least a large flat or a duplex with more rooms, and we can buy the rest.
That kind of small apartment of 60, 70, 780, 890 square meters, we should use this kind of house exclusively for investment."
After hearing this, Yan Chen nodded directly, "I was just about to discuss this matter with you. I didn't expect that we have a good understanding. When my cousin told me about the house in Peninsula International the day before yesterday, I suddenly had this idea in my mind.
I had this idea, but I suddenly forgot about it after Han Che and the others came."
Xiang Jin's lips curled up, "In that case, how many houses do you think we should buy near each key middle school and key elementary school?"
Yan Chen asked, "Three sets, or four sets?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's all fine. I haven't converted the business income and dividends of those stores into fixed deposits at the end of last year."
Yan Chen said, "Then let's get to know each other first."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
After getting up from lunch break, Xiang Jin went to the reception room and saw everyone sitting there chatting, so he joined in to listen.
Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Yan Chen's cousin and cousin-in-law came back, and then Yan Chen's uncle looked at the two of them and said, "Hey, Hao Ze, how do you two see the house? Are you sure?
Have you chosen which community or building you have chosen? You will go back the day after tomorrow, and you don’t know when you will have another chance to come back?"
Yan Chen and his cousin said, "We haven't reached an agreement yet."
Yan Chen's uncle asked, "Should I buy it or not?"
Yan Chen's cousin said, "Buy, buy, buy. I bought it."
Yan Chen and his cousin said, "Then I want to buy one from the Peninsula International on the Chaoyang Campus of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China."
Yan Chen and his cousin were a little unhappy, "That's the Fifth Ring Road. It's so far away from here. You just want to take advantage of it!"
Yan Chen and his cousin asked, "How far is it? Isn't it within the limits of BJ City by car? Is it cheap? How can it be cheaper? It still costs more than 6,000 square meters."
BJ has planned seven rings. When the time comes, the development will not only develop the second and third rings, but other places will also be developed. You may think that there is a little more desolate at the moment, but the plasticity there will be very strong in the future.
Yes, generally the environment of houses near schools is not too bad.
The Jinchen Apartment and Huarong Apartment you are interested in have good facilities in all aspects at the moment, but that may not be the case in the future.
We don’t stay in BJ very often. At most we come back every few years to visit relatives and stay for a while. Most of the house is for investment. Why does it have to be so expensive?
Do you know that there is not much room for growth in the future for expensive houses now? Look at the stock traders, which one does not buy at the lowest price, but goes to the highest price to buy it? Isn't that an obvious loss of money?
If you have the money to buy a house in Jinchen Apartment and Huarong Apartment, we can all buy a few houses in Peninsula International. By then, won’t the investment profit be greater?”
Yan Chen and his cousin-in-law remained silent, but the look on his face still looked a little unhappy.
Yan Chen and his uncle asked Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, "Yan Chen, Jin Yatou, you two are more experienced in investing in real estate right now. What do you think? Tell me your opinions?"
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen didn't want to get involved in their family's family affairs, but they were suddenly called out by their uncle. After the two looked at each other, Yan Chen said, "If you are buying a house as an investment, you must buy low and sell high.
, because the profit will be greater this way, but we don’t know much about the properties my cousin and cousin-in-law mentioned.
Because there are many factors that need to be considered when buying a house, such as future development prospects, the location of the property, surrounding environmental factors, the quality of the property, the integrity of the developer, etc.
Many people today may not consider these factors when buying a house, because the current economic development has not yet reached the level of prosperity and saturation. They think it would be good if I could buy a house in a big city like BJ. People nowadays still
We are still pursuing material things, but one day when we are materially secure, we may pursue spiritual things.
For example, my living environment, is it beautiful and clean, is the surrounding transportation convenient, is the supporting facilities complete, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, wet markets, kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, and are there hospitals, pharmacies, etc. nearby?
Wait for a series."
Yan Chen and his cousin said, "The real estate company's construction plan says that these will be there in the future. There are several hospitals nearby, such as the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of China, which is over there.
Very convenient.”
Yan Chen's cousin said, "In order to attract customers to buy houses from him, he will naturally say that he has everything, but he may not be able to fulfill it one day in the future."
Yan Chen said, "Since developers have promised, they will usually honor it, because the real estate industry is long-term, not a one-time deal. It earns profits and reputation at the same time. If it fails to deliver,
Who will dare to buy his house in the future?"
His cousin wanted to listen to his opinion, "What do you think of the address I chose?"
Yan Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, it's not bad. Although it's not the headquarters of the High School Affiliated to the Renmin University of China, it is still a key middle school in Chaoyang District. There are still development prospects in the future."
Then Yan Chen and his cousin looked at his cousin-in-law and said, "Then let's buy Peninsula International?"
Yan Chen and his cousin-in-law lowered their eyes and said, "Whatever."
Yan Chen's uncle saw her like this and said decisively, "Oh, okay, okay, let's go to Jinchen Apartment or Huarong Apartment?"
Everyone in the room looked surprised, especially Yan Chen's cousin and cousin. Yan Chen's cousin said, "Dad?"
Yan Chen's uncle frowned at the two of them and nodded, "Okay, okay, let's leave it like this. You guys can decide how big you want to buy. When the time comes, let us know. When Chuba's family goes to work, your mother and I will
Just take a look, and then if it’s suitable, we’ll make a decision for you.”
Yan Chen's cousin's expression was slightly condensed, and Yan Chen's cousin's sister-in-law said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Yan Chen's uncle waved to the two of them.
At night, when the two of them were lying on the bed, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "How much money will uncle have to pay for this way of calming things down?"
Yan Chen said, "So, this shows how important it is to have a good wife," and then he leaned towards her.
Xiang Jin laughed and scolded, "I hate it, don't let your cousin know what you said, otherwise she will probably hate you if she hears it."
Yan Chen said, "Cousin, he has bad taste!"
Xiang Jin glared at him, "You're the only one with good taste?!"
Yan Chen said, "Of course I have good taste. Look at how good my wife is. She is good in the hall and in the kitchen. She is not only beautiful, but also has outstanding abilities. The most important thing is that she understands the general situation and understands propriety!"
Xiang Jin laughed, "Why don't I think I'm like that?"
Yan Chen said, "The so-called bystander is clear, how can you know it yourself?" As he said that, he lifted her chin, and then kissed her.
After the kiss ended, Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "But this shows that your cousin-in-law is still a bit strong and stubborn."
Yan Chen said, "His behavior is purely selfish. Whatever depends on her is good."
Xiang Jin said, "This is the result of being pampered, but your cousin likes it!"
Yan Chen said, "Our children can't just let their temper dictate everything in the future."
Xiang Jin said, "I have to tell my elders about this when the time comes. Anyway, I can't just follow their whim."
Yan Chen smiled, "Okay!"
Maybe Zeng Haoze persuaded Yan Chen and his cousin's sister-in-law, so the next morning, Yan Chen and his cousin-in-law suddenly changed their tune and told Yan Chen and his uncles and aunts to buy them a house at will.
If the surrounding environment is good, it does not necessarily need to be Jinchen Apartment or Huarong Apartment. Houses in other places are also acceptable, as long as the surrounding environment is good, the supporting facilities are complete, and the price is suitable.
The whole family was surprised again, and then Yan Chen's uncle looked at his cousin and said, "What's going on? Why did you change your mind again?"
Yan Chen's cousin explained, "I thought about it carefully later and felt that Haoze was right. We either live here for a long time or come back to visit relatives occasionally.
Jinchen Apartment and Huarong Apartment are indeed okay now, but maybe the houses there will be like that in two years, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s expensive or cheap at the moment, so there’s no rush to buy them at the moment.
Buy it, it’s not too late for you to buy it when it suits you, we don’t need to pay so much more now.”
Yan Chen's uncle and his aunt nodded, and Yan Chen's uncle nodded with a look of relief, "Okay, we'll see more later. Anyway, we won't go back until after the Lantern Festival."
Yan Chen, his cousin and cousin-in-law nodded.
Then Yan Chen stood up and said to take Xiang Jin's parents to the airport, but Xiang Jin's parents refused, saying that they could just take a taxi directly to the airport, so he wouldn't need to go to the trouble and let him stay at home.
Xiang Jin.
So Xiang Jin and Yan Chen sent them to the entrance of the alley, where the family delayed for a while. Then Xiang Jin and the others watched her parents go away. On the way home, Xiang Jin said, "Your cousin-in-law."
You’re not the stubborn and unreasonable kind of person, huh? It’s still negotiable.”
Yan Chen said, "No matter what kind of person she is, it has nothing to do with us."
Xiang Jin said, "Having said that, it really has nothing to do with us, but she is your cousin's wife, the daughter-in-law of your uncle and aunt, and the granddaughter-in-law of our grandparents. If they cause trouble, wouldn't it be us?
Are you upset too?"
Yan Chen didn't say anything, but Xiang Jin immediately changed the subject and then talked to him about something else.
