Chapter 40: Giving birth to a child is like a Ma Xiaolong
In addition to the courtyard house in Dashizuo Hutong, Ma Qiangsheng also bought a courtyard house in Baihua Hutong, the same Baihua Hutong that was sung in the song "One Night in the Capital" as "people say that the land of hundreds of flowers is deep".
The courtyard houses here are much cheaper. It is still a standard courtyard house of 400 square meters. It costs 200,000 yuan, totaling 511 square meters.
In just ten days, 600,000 yuan was spent, but there was still 100,000 yuan left. It was impossible to afford a courtyard house, unless it was a shabby courtyard house on Guijie Street, but Ma Qiangsheng did not want to buy another shabby courtyard house.
Well, after discussing with my uncle, I bought two more buildings in the community. The 100,000 yuan was almost spent.
After asking his aunt to help rent out the two houses, Ma Qiangsheng remembered what his son said: Even if you only charge rent, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
But he couldn't understand why his son wouldn't let the courtyard house be rented out. If he rented it out, he could get at least two thousand yuan more per month, so that the whole family could really spend the rest of their lives lying down.
After returning from the capital, Ma Qiangsheng handed the house book to his son and asked about his doubts.
"When I make some more money, I want to renovate all the courtyard houses." Ma Xiaolong said: "At that time, I have to trouble you to go to the capital to help me keep an eye on them. When the renovation is completed, I will rent them to foreigners at a high price."
"Foreigner?" Ma Qiangsheng didn't understand.
"Because foreigners are rich." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "They can afford the rent."
"..." Ma Qiangsheng frowned: "The rent is high?"
"For ordinary people, it's ridiculously high." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "The one in Guijie Street is three thousand, the one in Baihua Hutong is four thousand, and the one in Dashizuo Hutong is five thousand."
"Hiss~~~~~~~~"
Ma Qiangsheng was shocked.
"Foreigners are so stupid!?"
"..." Ma Xiaolong opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "It's not that they are stupid, it's that we are too poor."
Ma Qiangsheng was speechless.
"Actually, it's only this price in the past few years. In a few years, I will have to double the rent," Ma Xiaolong said.
(⊙_⊙)?
Ma Qiangsheng was dumbfounded.
…
In mid-November, the second volume of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was published. With the first volume as a foundation, the first edition of the second volume reached 500,000 copies, and was sold out in just half a month.
The publishing house still underestimated the destructive power of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in this era. Fortunately, it completed the supply to the market through emergency printing, and the second volume also boosted the sales of the first volume. Under the effect of the two-pronged approach
, before the Spring Festival, Ma Xiaolong received 500,000 yuan after tax, plus 350,000 yuan from the clothing design share. There is no doubt about Ma Xiaolong's family status.
Ma Qiangsheng has resigned from the match factory and is dedicated to helping Ma Xiaolong handle various external affairs. Liu Ying has not resigned. She is a workshop director in the textile factory and does not want to lose the 'power' in her hands. Besides, she is a restless person.
, if she is allowed to stay at home all day, it will be okay for a short time, but she will definitely go crazy over time. Instead of doing this, it is better to go to work as usual, which can reflect some personal value.
Ma Xiaolong knew that the textile factory was still alive and well before he was reborn, and Liu Ying still had a monthly pension of more than 3,000, which was generally okay, so he just followed her wishes.
Grandpa, like Liu Ying, is also restless, and he has a deep affection for the match factory. In his previous life, he kept looking at the door until he was nearing the end of his life, so he had no intention of returning home to retire and continued to look at his door.
Grandma is very supportive of grandpa’s decision. It’s not about money, but she is happy for grandpa.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Ma Xiaolong made a lot of money, but no one except a few family members knew how much money he made. Under Ma Xiaolong's instructions and the family's deliberate guidance, outsiders only knew that Ma Xiaolong paid monthly to the garment factory.
To design clothes, there is a salary of 500 yuan and a design fee of 200 yuan per suit.
Although this kind of income is very high, many people who do small business can earn this amount, or even more. Although the neighbors are envious, they are not jealous or even have evil intentions.
Ma Xiaolong had seen too much in his previous life about the principle of keeping wealth secret. You must not be rich, otherwise some obscure relative will pop up and borrow money from you.
It makes me sad just thinking about it.
…
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of 1991 has arrived. Time flies so fast. It seems that only twelve chapters have passed since the Spring Festival of 1990.
Since entering second grade, Ma Xiaolong has successively earned 15 skill points and 4 attribute points, and now these 4 attribute points have been added to his perseverance.
It was also the half-month of drawing Fairy Sword during the summer vacation that made him lazy. He always felt that it was unnecessary for him to work so hard, so he would always be lazy from time to time and draw very few drawings until he got it after the mid-term exam.
I originally wanted to add 2 attribute points to charm, but I couldn't add them at all.
The system prompts that the maximum charm value is 20 points. If it increases further, it will be a beauty camera, and it will be captured and sliced as a non-human creature.
He was so frightened that he trembled.
Since charm couldn't be added, he set his target on the other three items.
10 points of physical strength is already high enough for an eight-year-old child, and there is no need to increase it for the time being; 11 points of intelligence can be used to learn the knowledge of the second grade of elementary school without difficulty, and there is no rush for the time being. So he set his sights on what he has been doing since his rebirth.
On the perseverance that has never wavered.
Out of curiosity, he added two attribute points to perseverance, and then he hated himself for being lazy.
From then on, he studied diligently, drew cartoons, drew design drawings, helped Zhu Sha with his homework, and helped Ma Xiaofeng with his homework. He was like a completely different person.
This led to the publication of the second episode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in December.
Then after the final exam not long ago, he added the two newly obtained attribute points to perseverance. Ma Xiaolong feels that no matter what he wants to do now, as long as he sets a goal, he will work very hard to complete it, such as
No one can stop him from buying a house in the capital.
After the Lantern Festival, Ma Zhiqiang went north with a huge sum of money. Half a month later, he bought a shop in Wudaokou, the capital.
The shop is located in the northwest corner of the cross street. It is a bungalow with an area of 168 square meters. Ma Qiangsheng spent 840,000 to buy it. After paying various taxes and fees, all the 850,000 he brought was spent, but Ma Xiaolong heard that
It’s finished, but I feel it’s worth it.
The shop in the northwest corner of Wudaokou in Beijing is still 168 square meters. If he doesn't take off, who will take off?
This time, Johnson Ma directly rented out the shop, but the shop was too big for one person to occupy. After consulting with Ma Xiaolong and receiving follow-up financial support from Ma Xiaolong, Ma Johnson transformed the shop into four small stores.
There are two doors on the west side and two doors on the north side, which is just right.
In this case, renting it out will be no problem at all.
Ma Qiangsheng stayed in the capital for a month and rented out all four shops. Each shop charged 3,000 yuan a month, with three deposits and one payable.
Before leaving the capital, Ma Qiangsheng had a drink with his uncle. During the dinner, his uncle sighed: "Johnson! You are in the spotlight in your life. If I had a son like this, I could lose ten years of my life."
Ma Qiangsheng smiled, drank to his uncle, and left gracefully amid her complaints.
