Without any suspense, Hu Mingchen successfully persuaded Hu Jianjun, and the next day, with the participation of Wu Luhui, Hu Mingchen's family and Liu Chunhua's family reached an exchange agreement, Hu Mingchen's family agreed to cut down the tree, and Liu Chunhua and Hu Jianye agreed to transfer the small piece of land to Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai.

One day after the agreement was reached, with the help of Hu Jianqiang, the big camphor tree was successfully brought down, and the so-called sacred tree of Hu Mingchen's family became history, gone forever.

After the sacred tree was cut down, Hu Mingchen's family did not have any obvious bad luck, and Liu Chunhua's family did not improve significantly.

Two months after the start of school, the weather is getting hotter, and the business of the Duge Township cinema is gradually heating up with the change of weather, and the number of people watching movies every day is slowly rising.

Hu Mingchen's life and study in school are also in order, in addition to normal class study, he spends a lot of time reading extracurricular books every day, as much as possible to increase his knowledge and literacy.

On this day, after school, Hu Mingchen went to the cinema to see the situation as usual, and if everything was as usual, he would go home.

But when he encountered something today, Hu Mingchen couldn't leave immediately.

When Hu Mingchen went to the Duge Township Cinema, he saw a person chatting with Hu Jianjun at the gate, this person Hu Mingchen knew, it was his grandfather, that is, Jiang Dashan's brother Jiang Dahe.

Jiang Dahe does not live in Jiangjiazhai, but in Xiejiazhai.

The reason for this situation is that when they were young, Jiang Dashan's family was very poor, so their parents gave Jiang Dahe to a childless family in Xiejiazhai.

The family is also very interesting, the two couples are in their forties and have no children, after getting Jiang Dahe, they took great care of them, not only let Jiang Dahe enter the school to study, but also his surname and first name have not changed.

Jiang Dahe was not as old and rough as Jiang Dashan because of some culture, so he was able to become a rural teacher. It's just that Jiang Dahe was not satisfied with the low status quo of rural teachers, and resigned ten years ago to start a small business on his own.

Although Jiang Dahe and Jiang Dashan are brothers, but because they do not live in the same village, Hu Mingchen's family and Jiang Dahe's family do not have a lot of contact, and they only walk around each other when they encounter things.

Hu Mingchen was still a little surprised and curious that Jiang Dahe would come to the cinema to find Hu Jianjun today, in his impression, they would only stop to say hello and chat when they met on the road, otherwise, it would be difficult to have any intersection.

"Xiao Chen, is school out?" Seeing Hu Mingchen coming over, Jiang Dahe stopped talking to Hu Jianjun and greeted with a smile.

"Yes, grandpa. Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your mental state is still so good. Hu Mingchen responded politely with a smile.

"Hehe, the young man has changed a lot, and he has become too good at talking. Jiang Dahe patted Hu Mingchen's head kindly and said with a smile.

"Dad, grandpa is here, why don't you pour a glass of water for his old man, grandpa, you wait, I'll pour you a glass of water." Hu Mingchen saw that Jiang Dahe didn't even have a water cup in his hand, took off his schoolbag, and said as he walked inside.

"Xiao Chen, no need, no need, it's not that I'm not thirsty, don't pour it. Jiang Dahe hurriedly waved his hand to stop Hu Mingchen.

"Oh, it looks like you have something to say, so let's talk about it, I'll go inside and see. Hu Mingchen stopped and turned his eyes.

Hu Mingchen actually wanted to hear what they were talking about, but he couldn't say it explicitly, at least he was still a child in name.

"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, I've already finished talking to your father. Jiang Dahe said casually, "Jianjun, what I just told you, you think about it, if you can, tell me." ”

"Okay, Daddy, I'll think about it. Hu Jianjun responded.

"Okay, then I'll go back, wait for your news, it's all good for us, you must think about it seriously. ”

When Jiang Dahe left the movie theater and disappeared around the corner, Hu Mingchen looked at Hu Jianjun solemnly: "Dad, what is the matter with your grandfather?"

Hu Jianjun retracted his gaze and sat down on the bench: "Your grandfather asked me to cooperate, saying that he had two foundations on the street, one behind the vegetable market and the other in the position where he sold cattle, and he asked me to repair the house together." ”

After all these years of small business, Jiang Dahe's house in Xie Jiazhai has not changed, but his vision is still good, and he used the money he earned to buy two foundations on the street.

"How to repair the house together?" Hu Mingchen asked curiously.

"He has a foundation, but he doesn't have the money to repair it, and the foundation is still a foundation, so he wants me to come up with tens of thousands of dollars to build the foundation behind the vegetable farm, which can have three facades, and if the funds are abundant, one floor can be added to it to become a two-story building. The house was built, and he gave me a façade, and the second floor above was also divided into two rooms. Hu Jianjun said.

"The position behind the vegetable market ......," Hu Mingchen groaned.

According to him, the vegetable farm should be expanded and rebuilt, and the plan is to add a roof and the ground to be made of cement. If you really do that, the foundation behind it will be repaired, and it will be in the vegetable market, and the façade will be easy to do business at that time, and the room above can be used as a warehouse. I think this deal is still okay, what do you think?" Hu Jianjun was obviously a little moved by Jiang Dahe's words.

For Hu Jianjun, if he can buy a façade and a house on the street, it is something to be proud of and show off. In addition, for people like the old school of them, the safest thing to do when they have money in hand is to turn it into real estate or land.

As for using the funds for other investment projects, Hu Jianjun never thought about it, and he didn't know what other projects could make money.

"It's not good...... Hu Jianjun thought that Hu Mingchen would echo and say yes when he heard it, but he didn't know that Hu Mingchen would say such things: "Did your grandfather say how much money he wanted you to spend to repair the house?"

"Forty thousand, he said that forty thousand yuan can be built, and when the time comes, the façade of our house and the two rooms above it will not be worth more than 40,000 yuan. Why don't you say it's good?" Hu Jianjun was very puzzled, how could a good deal in his eyes be worthless in Hu Mingchen's mouth.

"It's very simple, because no matter whether the vegetable farm is expanded or rebuilt, it will not go to his house. When the house is repaired, the façade and the house are not on the main street, but on the back street, and when the time comes, let alone doing business by yourself, it will be difficult to rent it even if you rent it. Hu Mingchen said with certainty.

"How do you know that place won't become a street? Your grandfather is a literate person, and he won't inquire about this kind of thing?" Hu Jianjun obviously believed Jiang Dahe's words.

"Whether there is a culture or not and whether the place will become a street or not are two completely unrelated things. I know the foundation of his house, my grandfather mentioned it, and I have passed by it several times. That place is more than 40 meters away from the current vegetable farm, how big is our Duge Township, whether it is expanded or rebuilt, will the vegetable farm become so big? Of course, if it is built, the façade and real estate of that place will be worth 40,000 yuan, but for our family, it is not cost-effective. If 40,000 yuan is used for other things, you can earn more, so why invest in a place with little profit?" Hu Mingchen said.

In fact, Hu Mingchen knows that when that place is built, it is not only worth 40,000 yuan, if it is sold, there is no problem with 100,000 yuan, but the premise is ten years later.

Because in Hu Mingchen's memory, that place gradually became lively after ten years when a small street of seventy or eighty meters was built, and it was deserted for a long time before.

So in Hu Mingchen's eyes, this deal is very uneconomical, 40,000 yuan, more than ten years, only one and a half times the profit, it is simply a failure of investment. If it is placed in another place, let alone one and a half times, it is ten times or twenty times, and Hu Mingchen doesn't think it's a big deal.

The late nineties were still the best time to do business, and once you missed such a golden opportunity, there was no more.

"That'...... Why don't you cooperate? I don't think what your grandfather said is so outrageous. Hu Jianjun was still a little unwilling.

"Dad, why didn't my grandfather say that he paid for the foundation of the cattle and horses? Hu Mingchen asked in a different way of thinking.

He said that the place was dirty and smelly, and there were usually no people, and it would only be a little popular on the day of the show. He regretted that he had spent more than 10,000 yuan on that foundation. I also think that place is not good, if I want to repair it in that place, I won't do it, it stinks,, cow, pig, and people don't want to go there. Hu Jianjun was very disdainful of the place mentioned by Hu Mingchen, and he had no interest in that place at all.

"Dad, let me give you an idea, you can discuss it with your grandfather, doesn't he regret buying that foundation? You just tell him that you can buy that foundation for 20,000 yuan, and then he can use 20,000 yuan to repair the house in the place behind the vegetable field. Hu Mingchen smiled narrowly and came up with an idea.

"Are you crazy? What's so good about that place, it's still 20,000 yuan, and 10,000 is too much for me. Didn't you hear what I just said? It's a place you can't live in, let alone do business, and you have to buy that place when your brain is in the water. Hu Jianjun immediately retorted in resistance.

"Dad, sometimes, everyone thinks that a garbage place can actually be a treasure land. On the other hand, everyone thinks it is a treasure, and it is very likely to be a pit. You just believe me, will I still cheat you?" Hu Mingchen said disapprovingly.
