Chapter 202: The Age of Inflation
Bai Ke didn't have so much mind to care about his brother's affairs.
After the winter vacation, I will soon enter the second half of the third semester of high school.
The final sprint is coming.
It's sad to say.
Everyone has been studying hard for more than ten years for this day.
Two lives, white guests do not want to be exempt from vulgarity.
Even Yu Xiubo sensibly stopped pestering Bai Ke, shouting that he was lucky.
Donβt wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
Bai Ke wants to put all his 120 points into preparing for the college entrance examination.
But troubles still come unexpectedly.
Bai Ke plans to achieve a small goal before going to college - to earn it 100 million.
But at present, the small goal is far away, and it is even possible to lose 100 million.
When Dongchuang Building was first taken over, according to Lao Kan's previous construction speed, the main project could be completed in one year.
Therefore, after the end of the winter vacation, Dongchuang Building should be built to about ten floors.
But Bai Ke ignored the fact that the foundation should be built with five floors and the basement should be built with three floors.
In addition, Lao Kan has not personally led the team to carry out construction for a long time.
The project budget is also not very accurate.
After the start of school, Bai Ke went to the construction site and was dumbfounded.
Nearly half a year after the start of construction, Dongchuang Building has only four floors, and it is still far from the 20th floor.
Lao Kan was not in a hurry: "If we can't do it in a year, we will do it in two years! Anyway, less than half of our money has been spent." β
According to the agreement, when the Dongchuang Building is built to the 10th floor, the bank loan of 50 million will be credited to the account.
Bai Ke, Lao Kan, Jiang Tao, Han Sheng and others have raised a total of 100 million funds.
At present, Lao Kan's construction team has spent less than 50 million yuan to build three underground floors and four floors above ground.
It stands to reason that there will be no funding gap.
The budget for the 20-storey Dongchuang Building is 200 million.
The investment of several of them, plus bank loans, totaled 150 million.
Where will the 50 million gap be solved?
The original idea was that these enterprises in the hands of Baike could generate profits of 50 or 60 million yuan per year.
It's just right to embezzle.
However, the budget of 200 million is calculated according to the current prices and current costs.
However, Lao Kan and others ignored an important cost.
That's the cost of time.
In the process of engineering construction, time is the biggest cost.
Reform pioneer Bu Xinsheng, Giant Building Shi Yuzhu.
All of them were dragged down by the delay in the project.
And as a person who has come over, Bai Ke also knows a terrible time node.
That was 1988.
There were three terrible inflations in the eighties and nineties.
The first time was in 1985.
The second time was in 1988.
The third time was in 1994.
The inflation rate in 1985 was 9.3 per cent.
The inflation rate in 1988 was 18.8 per cent.
The inflation rate in 1994 was 24.1 per cent.
This time in 1994, although the inflation rate was scaryly high.
But at this time, all those who should be laid off have already been laid off, those who should be commercialized have been commercialized, and some people who should have become rich have become rich.
Therefore, the common people have calmed down.
The consequence of inflation in 1985 was a frenzied rush to buy color TVs.
Fry the worst-quality domestic color TV to 4,000 yuan a piece.
In 1988, it was an even more tragic year.
People snapped up all the appliances in the stores, and even the broken appliances were rushing to buy them.
Southerners grab sweaters and pants, and northerners grab rattan chair fans.
In the end, even soap matches were grabbed.
There are also frequent runs on banks in many places.
Officially, the inflation rate for the year was 18.8.
Some economists estimate that inflation exceeded 30 percent that year.
The construction of Dongchuang Building was delayed until 1988, and the consequences can be imagined.
But the matter has come to this point, and the white customer can only take one step at a time.
In any case, the current funds can be maintained until at least October 1987.
Wait until the college entrance examination is over, and then make every effort to solve this problem.
In the spring of 1987, Bai Ning was also 21 years old.
Under Qin Yongmei's repeated urging, she decided to marry Yuan Xianzhou on May Day.
Yuan Xianzhou's own parents died, and his two sisters also got married.
It's basically an orphan.
Therefore, the marriage will be handled by the Bai family.
The best man is naturally the old partner of Bai Ke and Lu Gui.
Who are the bridesmaids called?
"Why don't you call Sun Yuan and Yu Xiubo?"
Bai Ning teased Bai Ke and said.
"Well, it's not good. β
"Hmph, you merry man, what will I do when I come to see you in the future?"
"Alas......"
Bai Ning still didn't call Sun Yuan or Yu Xiubo after all.
Instead, I found two unmarried girls at a neighbor's house.
To be honest, it is indeed inappropriate for Bai Ning, the leader, to find Sun Yuan and Yu Xiubo.
Bai Ning is only 1.57 meters.
And Sun Yuan has one meter 69, and Yu Xiubo also has one meter 66.
Standing together was directly compared.
This year is not as high as ten centimeters.
Bai Ketuo Han Shengcai bought six-centimeter high heels from Yangcheng.
But Bai Ning was wearing such tall shoes, standing in front of Yuan Xianzhou, and he was still the cutest height difference.
Because Yuan Xianzhou is more than 1.83 meters tall.
Fortunately, although Bai Ning is short, he is quite well-proportioned.
The proportions of limbs are about the same as that of a girl of 1.7 meters.
And the skin is fair.
Standing with Yuan Xianzhou, no matter how suitable a pair.
Naturally, none of the new and old friends of the Bai family can be missing.
Dr. Yang and Zhuoma, Fat Uncle, Lao Jiang, Lao Kan father and daughter.
There are other neighbors.
Qin Yongmei and Yuan Xianzhou's common colleagues.
Like Da Lao Hei, Lao Luo, Lao Hu, Xiao Ni, Xiao Yin, Wu Jun, Chang Hao, Director Lu and so on.
Anyway, most of the people in the county bureau came.
Even colleagues from the city and provincial bureaus came.
And Bai Ce's colleagues.
as well as comrades-in-arms and good friends, like Han Sheng, Ju Yinglun and others.
Bai Ce warmly invited Zheng Yaozu to participate.
But Zheng Yaozu didn't want to be disgusted, so he could only refuse politely.
The business partners of Bai Zong and Bai Ke were also present.
Like Liu Qingtao, Jiang Tao, Huang Village Chief, Jing Chang, Huai Dongliang, Liu Kang sisters and brothers, etc.
The people from the aunt's family, the third uncle's family, and the old uncle's family also arrived.
The sister-in-law's whole family is also not left behind.
Even the relatives of Baijiagou, the hometown in the south, sent three representatives to the wedding.
Due to the fact that there are too many people.
The forty tables upstairs and downstairs in Jiang Tao Restaurant are not enough to sit.
So, the wedding took place for two days in a row.
The bride and groom are to show their faces twice.
Bai Ke and Lu Gui, who are senior best men, naturally have nowhere to escape.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Lu Gui swallowed his saliva.
"Okay, don't worry, we can eat for two days. β
"That's right, my brother's craft is really getting better and better. β
Bai Ning's wedding banquet was cooked by Lu Laoer.
has followed Jiang Tao for many years, and Lu Lao Er has also become a hand.
Jiang Tao is a special chef himself.
Lu Lao Er is already a third-level chef.
The level is almost level 2.
It only takes a few more years.
In the previous life, Lu Lao Er, who was fierce and vicious, was due to the timely intervention of Bai Ke in this life.
Now he has become a Buddha with kind eyebrows.
and Lu Gui beside him.
In the previous life, he was also a guy who fought and brawled.
Under the supervision and persuasion of white customers.
At present, he has become a three-good student.
Getting into high school is already a proper thing.
"Brother, have you heard about Meng Fanming?"
"What's the matter?"
Meng Fanming is also a masterpiece that Bai Ke is proud of.
Meng Fanming, who was originally as fierce as a bull, Bai Ke helped him enter the city sports school.
Let his overflowing energy be released.
Meng Fanming himself is also working hard.
First he learned wrestling, and then he switched to judo.
From the municipal sports school to the provincial sports school.
A few years ago, he also won a silver medal in the National Games.
is considered a well-known figure in the county and the city.
In previous years, the two have been in close contact.
In the past year or two, because Meng Fanming has to play all over the country, the contact between the two has gradually decreased.
"Lao Meng went in. β
"Where are you in?"
"It's in the bureau. β
"Huh?"
Bai Ke was taken aback.
