Chapter 353: Reluctance

"You can rest assured that there is absolutely no problem!" Uncle Ah Chang assured.

Li Liang is generally satisfied with this small courtyard, anyway, if he buys it at the price offered by Uncle Achang, and puts it for a few years, it will definitely be a sure profit. Even if there is no demolition, such a location, after rebuilding the house, it is very suitable to keep it for yourself! I and Chenchen are about to spend four years of college in Yangcheng, if there is such a small courtyard to settle in, it is really excellent.

Whether you come here to cook a good meal during the holidays, improve your meal, or use this place as a base for home, it is very suitable!

However, Li Liang is not a fledgling who has just come out of society, and people have to bargain for vegetables when they go to the market, not to mention such a courtyard, 20,000 yuan, which is not a small amount! Such a large amount, even in a big city like Yangcheng, except for Hong Kong businessmen who have invested in the mainland, Li Liang estimates that it will be difficult for ordinary locals to come up with such a large sum of money at one time. Based on the average worker's salary of 40 yuan, this money is equivalent to the annual salary of 42 workers.

Li Liang pretended to bow his head and think about it, and after a while, he said to Uncle Ah Chang with an embarrassed expression: "Uncle Ah Chang, your yard is good, but the price is too expensive." With such a large amount, it is difficult for our family to get it at one time, I wonder if we can pay it off in a few years?"

Uncle Ah Chang listened to Li Liang's words and vetoed: "This is not good, the two of us are about to go to Hong Kong City to enjoy the blessings of our son, if we are not in a hurry to leave, I may not be in a hot discussion of 20,000 yuan!"

Li Liang heard this, and said with an embarrassed face: "Okay, then I'll go back and think about it!"

When the taxi driver Ah Biao heard Li Liang's words, his face was a little disappointed! Uncle Ah Chang had already specially explained to him that if he could introduce someone to buy this yard, he would give him a certain amount of thanks! Seeing that this business was about to turn yellow, Ah Biao interjected: "Little brother, Uncle Ah Chang's house is really good. You see the location is on Beijing Road, and you can see the bustling streets of the city right out. If Uncle Ah Chang agrees to pay it off in a few years, I'm going to buy it!

Little brother, you may not know when you first come to Yangcheng, after the reform and opening up in the past few years, the housing prices in our Yangcheng will definitely rise in the future!

Li Liang's uncle Li Shuangyuan interjected: "The yard is good, but the price is still a little expensive." Well, let's go back and think about it first!"

Uncle Ah Chang said a little disappointed: "Then you hurry up and decide, many people have come to see my house during this time, if someone else pays a deposit, it will be outdated!"

Li Liang and the others came out of the courtyard of Uncle Achang's house, walked through the dimly lit alley, and got into Ah Biao's taxi. After Ah Biao started the taxi, he said while driving: "Little brother, you should think about it again, if it weren't for Uncle Ah Chang who was in a hurry to go to Hong Kong City to enjoy happiness, he wouldn't necessarily agree to this price." To be honest, there are really not many people in Yangcheng who are willing to sell their houses and have such a good location!"

Li Liang nodded and smiled: "Uncle Biao, I also know that the house is good." But it was really difficult for my parents to come up with so much cash at once. In this way, if you can help me negotiate the price, if the price can be less, you can rest assured, the benefit fee is indispensable to you!"

Ah Biao drove the car, and when he heard Li Liang take the initiative to offer the benefit fee, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "It's okay to help you go to Uncle Ah Chang to negotiate the price, I don't know how much cash your family has, and I will talk about it when the time comes!"

Li Liang thought for a while and said: "Uncle Biao, the price I can accept is sixteen thousand, in this price range, I don't care how much you talk about, I will give you this amount, what do you think?"

Hearing that Li Liang was willing to pay 16,000, Ah Biao said with some embarrassment: "This figure is a bit low, little brother! You don't know, last year, the price of one square meter of Donghu New Village, which was developed by Hong Kong businessmen in our Yangcheng, reached 700 yuan per square meter. Uncle Chang's house, more than 120 square meters, if it is at this price, it will cost at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to buy it!"

Li Liang shook his head and said, "Uncle Biao, you can't say that. Although I haven't been to the East Lake New Village you mentioned, it must be a new house built in Hong Kong style. Uncle Chang's house is an old house, and even if I buy it, I will definitely have to renovate and rebuild it. The price I paid is equivalent to just buying a piece of land, this price is not low, my family is all cash, and I can also give Uncle Ah Chang Hong Kong dollars directly, and he doesn't have to take the risk to go to the black market to reverse the exchange, what do you think?"

Ah Biao heard that Li Liang could pay Hong Kong dollars directly, and his eyes lit up again: "Little brother, do you have Hong Kong dollars?"

Li Liang shook his head and said, "No!"

Ah Biao said disappointedly: "Aren't you playing tricks on me? You don't have Hong Kong dollars, how can you still say that you can give Uncle Ah Chang Hong Kong dollars?"

Li Liang smiled: "Just because I don't have it in my hand doesn't mean that my friend doesn't have it." Don't worry, if Uncle Ah Chang is really willing to sell, I can ask my friend to pay him directly in Hong Kong City, and pay Hong Kong dollars directly when the time comes!"

Ah Biao said disappointedly: "I thought you could get Hong Kong dollars!"

In the 80s, there was a natural desire for foreign exchange!

At that time, after foreigners entered the country, the foreign currency they carried could not be directly consumed in the domestic market. At that time, the state introduced a system and issued a batch of foreign exchange vouchers. After foreigners enter the country, they can exchange foreign currency for foreign exchange coupons at major commercial banks in China before they can spend at specific institutions!

At that time, some large cities in China, such as Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Beijing, and Modu, all opened special foreign trade stores, which had all kinds of goods, most of which were imported from abroad.

The largest and earliest foreign trade store in Yangcheng is the Yangcheng Friendship Store. Interestingly, this state-controlled large-scale comprehensive commercial company took the lead in creating the first super shopping mall in China, which is also known as a supermarket in later generations!

At that time, after hearing about the opening of the Friendship Mall, the people of Yangcheng came from all over the world, wanting to see with their own eyes what the super shopping malls in the mainland were like. For a while, the Friendship Mall was crowded, and because of the large number of people, the shops had to adopt a tidal flow method to control the crowded flow of people! Although the goods inside could only be purchased with foreign exchange coupons, and the citizens may only have ten or eight yuan of foreign exchange coupons in hand, they came to experience the new thing!

At that time, the people of Yangcheng had foreign exchange coupons in their hands to buy all kinds of imported fashionable goods in the Friendship Mall, ranging from refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, to a bottle of toilet water and facial cleanser, all of which were imported goods of quite good quality!

This is also the reason why the taxi driver Ah Biao became extremely emotional when he heard that Li Liang had Hong Kong dollars. People use renminbi to exchange foreign exchange coupons, which can only be exchanged on the black market, and the high price may not be able to exchange enough amounts. And if you directly use a foreign currency such as Hong Kong dollars to exchange, according to the official exchange rate, the amount you want can be exchanged for a lot of foreign exchange coupons!

Li Liang said with a smile: "Uncle Biao, if you can really talk about this small courtyard, I can find a way to get you some foreign exchange coupons!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

When Ah Biao sent Li Liang and them to the door of the guest house of Yat-sen University, the two parties agreed that if Ah Biao could negotiate according to the amount Li Liang said, he could come directly to the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Yat-sen University to find Li Shuangyuan!

After Ah Biao drove away, Li Shuangyuan asked curiously: "Liangzi, you just said that you can get Hong Kong dollars and foreign exchange coupons?

Chenchen and Zhang Meng were also very curious, obviously Li Liang and them had been together every day for the past few days, and they had never seen Li Liang go out alone, how could he be so familiar with these things!

Li Liang smiled and said, "Uncle, in fact, you can get these things!"

"Can I get it too?" asked Li Shuangyun confusedly.

"Yes!" Li Liang smiled, "Uncle, you are a fan of the authorities." Have you forgotten our relationship with Mr. Yang? Yang is always a well-known Hong Kong businessman in Hong Kong City, and we will definitely be fine if we ask him for help!"

Li Liang said that Mr. Yang, is the Hong Kong businessman who invested in Pengcheng to open a mechanical and electrical factory, two years ago, Li Liang also persuaded Mr. Yang, invested in poverty alleviation, and invested in the kiwifruit planting industry in Hekang County!

Li Shuangyuan disagreed: "Liangzi, isn't this okay?"

Li Liang said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, human affection, there are contacts before it is called human favor." According to our friendship with Mr. Yang, this is all a trivial matter!"

Liang Dazhi, who was on the side, was a little stunned when he heard this, he initially thought that Li Liang and a few of them were turtles from the mainland, and after he enthusiastically took a few turtles around the campus of Yat-sen University, he suddenly knew that Li Shuangyuan was the senior of the school.

Today, he took Li Liang and them to walk around the streets of Yangcheng for an afternoon, but suddenly found that it seemed that these mainland turtles were not local at all, at least they knew Hong Kong businessmen, and they could still have friendships, and they could get Hong Kong dollars and foreign exchange coupons.

After a day of shopping around the campus and the street scene of Yangcheng, a few people who returned to the guest house washed up briefly, and then fell asleep one after another.

The next day was the opening day of Yatsen University, Li Liang took out his admission notice and letter of introduction, took the money, and followed his uncle Li Shuangcheng to the registration site!

Yat-sen University has opened two registration venues this time, and one registration point has been set up in Namdaemun Square, not far from the guest house. On Li Liang's admission notice, it was written that he was admitted to the Department of Business Administration of the School of Economics and Management.

There were three people sitting in the registration seat of the Department of Business Administration, two men and one woman, who did not seem to be very old. Li Shuangyuan took Li Liang over to ask, and sure enough, they were all graduate students in the school, and they were sent by the school to be counselors for the new freshmen this semester!

Li Liang's registration was decent, he filled in the registration information, paid some fees, and received a dormitory number. Chenchen on the side attracted the attention of the three counselors who were in charge of registration: "What a beautiful girl, are you also a freshman in our management department?"

Chen Chen shook his head shyly and said, "I'm not, I'm a freshman at South China Normal University!"

A male counselor was about to take Li Liang to find a dormitory, but was stopped by Li Shuangyuan!

"I'll take him there, I'm from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of our school, and I know where this dormitory is!" Li Shuangyuan introduced himself.

"Okay, remember to ask the dormitory manager to get the key when you go over, and remember to lock the doors and windows when you go in and out in the future, and the idea is to prevent fire and theft!" explained the counselor.

"Okay, we got it!"

Li Liang's bedroom is an old building with a sense of historical age, and I heard Li Shuangyuan say that this house was built before liberation, and it is really some years old!

This dormitory has eight beds, Li Liang was the first to arrive, he chose a lower bunk by the balcony, the light is not bad, the sunlight outside the balcony penetrates through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a mottled scenery!

Liang Dazhi didn't join in the fun today, he was admitted to the physics department where his uncle was a teacher, and he went to his uncle's house alone early in the morning, it is said that he was afraid that his uncle would know that he arrived at school early and did not go to his uncle's house!

Li Liang made his own bed with the help of Chenchen, Zhang Meng, Li Shuangyuan and others, and on a hot day, he looked at the two quilts of different thicknesses prepared for him by his mother Wang Xiulan, and was a little worried!

"Uncle, are there any mats for sale here and there? What should I do if I sleep on such a quilt on a hot day?" Li Liang said.

Li Shuangyuan said: "I'll buy two mats later, one bed for you, one bed for Chenchen, it's sold outside our school!"

After arranging Li Liang's registration, everyone has always decided to send Chenchen to her school, South China Normal University.

There is still some distance between South China Normal University and Yatsen University, and several people respectively carried Chenchen's luggage, quilts and other items, stopped a taxi, and wandered for more than half an hour before arriving at the campus of South China Normal University.

South China Normal University, formerly known as South China Normal University, was just changed to its current name in October last year. South China Normal University is not as famous as Yat-sen University, but it is also a very outstanding school in Yangcheng, and it was later selected for the 211 Project!

Chenchen was admitted to the Chinese language major, and when she applied for the volunteer at that time, she didn't know what her interests and hobbies were, so under the guidance of Li Liang, she filled in this Chinese language major. Because Li Liang felt that according to Chenchen's quiet and book-loving character, he would definitely be able to calm down and learn the Chinese language!

Entering the campus of South China Normal University, there are many new students who have signed up, many of whom are brought by their parents to the school to register.

Li Liang noticed that a big difference between ECNU and Yat-sen University is that among the freshmen, there are obviously more female students in ECNU, is it more suitable for girls to choose normal colleges?

At this time, the campus of China Normal University is not as big as Yat-sen University, but it looks like it is also very ancient! There are only six people in the dormitory that Chenchen is assigned to!

When Li Liang and the others sent Chenchen to the dormitory, there was already a little girl making the bed inside!

She saw Chenchen and a few people coming in, and asked with a shy smile, "Hello this classmate, are you also from this dormitory?"

Chenchen nodded and responded: "Well, I'm from Gangshan in Jiangxi Province, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Chen!"

"Hello, I'm from Sichuan Province, we are still from our own family, my surname is Zhang, Zhang Xiaoxiao!" the little girl introduced herself.

Zhang Meng volunteered to help his sister Zhang Chen make the bed, and watched his sister about to start a new life on the college campus, and his heart was full of reluctance!
