Chapter 0013: Showdown with Parents
Zeng Cheng knew very well what the status of this house, inherited from his maternal grandfather, had in his mother's heart. This is not only because the living area of this big house is more than 600 square meters, nor is it its 100-year history, but it represents the ancestral foundation of the family, which cannot be easily abandoned.
In addition, it is Zeng Cheng's plan to start his own business. When his parents found out, they would definitely object to him building a house before he had a successful career. Because in their opinion, it is completely unnecessary, because this big house is more than enough to meet the needs.
Suddenly, Zeng Cheng thought of a brilliant solution, and he believed that this would definitely convince his mother.
With a solution, Zeng Cheng returned home happily.
However, when he sat down, he realized that the first thing he had to solve was not to persuade his mother to agree to tear down the old house and build a new one.
"Sanwa, when are you going to work?" Seeing Zeng Cheng enter the house, his mother put down the work in her hand and asked, "There is nothing to do at home, you better report to the unit early." ”
Zeng Cheng was speechless for a long time, he didn't know how to explain this matter to his mother.
After hesitating for a while, Zeng Cheng still decided to tell the truth, anyway, this problem will have to be faced sooner or later.
"Mom, I have terminated my contract with the unit and will not go to work at the unit. Zeng Cheng said.
When my mother heard this, she was immediately annoyed and said loudly: "What are you talking about? If you don't go to work in the unit, then what are you doing with the knowledge you have learned in the past few years? And it costs a lot of money to terminate the contract with the unit, where does our family get so much money?"
Zeng Cheng lied and whispered: "Mom, you don't need to take money from home, I have already terminated the contract with the money myself." When I was in school, I bought a lottery ticket, won the first prize, and won more than 6 million, and in addition to taxes and donations, there are more than 5 million left. ”
"Ah?!" To Zeng Cheng's surprise, his mother was stunned for a while after hearing the news.
Not only was the mother stunned, but even the father, who had been silent before, was dumbfounded.
It's really Zeng Cheng forgotten that it's still 06 years, not 2016 after the sharp depreciation of the yuan, five million is definitely an astronomical number.
Take a well-known problem - housing prices, for example, in 2006, China's most prosperous magic capital, housing prices were about 8,000, and ten years later, it will be 50,000 or 60,000, an increase of at least six or seven times.
As for the living circle that my parents came into contact with -- Yudu, which is also one of the four municipalities directly under the central government, the average price of a house in the urban area is only about 2,700, and more than 5 million yuan is enough to buy a house of 2,000 square meters, which is equivalent to buying 20 houses with an area of 100 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room.
If it is changed to Shicheng District, it will be even more unbelievable, because the housing prices in Shicheng District are generally about 1500-2000, which is enough to buy 30 three-bedroom houses.
In the past two years, as the day of Zeng Cheng's graduation is gradually approaching, Zeng Cheng's parents have paid much attention to the house, and naturally know what Zeng Cheng's number means. So after hearing Zeng Cheng say this, their first reaction was surprise.
It took a long time for the parents to come back to their senses, and her mother Cheng Yan looked at Zeng Cheng nervously and asked, "Sanwa, what you said is true?"
Zeng Cheng nodded and said, "The money is all in my bank card." ”
Seeing Zeng Cheng say this, she no longer doubted it, but she still shook her head and said, "No, you can't stop going to work just because you have money now." I've heard a lot about you on TV, where people who won the lottery don't go to work, they quickly lose their property, and eventually some people end up begging for food by asking Hanako. You can't learn from that kind of person. How good your unit is, the country's iron rice bowl, you don't have to worry about it for a lifetime. As for your money, you can buy a house and rent it, and you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is 120,000 yuan a year. Save it all, and after two or three years, when your girlfriend graduates, you can get married. ”
According to the current market in Shicheng District, a three-bedroom house with an area of 100 square meters has a monthly rent of about 500. For 30 houses, the monthly rent is 15,000, and a year is 180,000.
Although her mother only graduated from elementary school, it was only because of the background of the times at that time, and her family background, her knowledge level was not as good as that of those who graduated from junior high school at that time, especially in arithmetic. Zeng Cheng felt that his brain was quite good, so he was probably inherited from his mother.
It's just that my mother's investment vision really made Zeng Cheng a little powerless to complain. With such a large amount of money, what she thought of was to use it all to buy a house, which was the rhythm of letting Zeng Cheng be a charter company.
In fact, Zeng Cheng's family has worked so hard, and it has a lot to do with the narrow-mindedness of his parents. Otherwise, with their knowledge and ability, how could they have lived a tight life for decades in this good era of money-making opportunities after the reform and opening up.
Perhaps because of the inheritance of the ancestral business, her mother was always reluctant to give up the ancestral business, including land and house, which was put first at all times, and this has even become a shackle that imprisons her thoughts.
About 20 years ago, Shicheng Cigarette Factory, the largest state-owned enterprise in Shicheng District, was recruiting workers, and one of Zeng Cheng's uncles was a middle-level cadre in the cigarette factory, saying that he wanted to recruit Zeng Cheng's father. But his mother refused to agree, saying that if Zeng Cheng's father went to the tobacco factory, the dozens of acres of land in the family would definitely have to be abandoned.
Zeng Cheng remembered that in his previous life, because of this incident, his parents quarreled a lot in the following thirty years.
Even after Zeng Cheng became sensible, he secretly complained about his mother's decision. For the sake of those dozens of acres of land, he gave up an opportunity to get a national iron rice bowl, which is really speechless.
You must know that Shicheng Cigarette Factory was a large-scale enterprise ranked in the entire Xichuan Province at that time, and the late eighties was the time when the tobacco factory was the most profitable, and the treatment of entering it was needless to say. Later, after Yudu was directly under the central government, the development of Shicheng Cigarette Factory was also very good. If Zeng Cheng's father had entered the cigarette factory at that time, he would have basically retired now in 2006, and he could even get a retirement salary of two or three thousand a month. You know, the average salary in Stone City is only in the early 1,000s.
Zeng Cheng smiled bitterly: "Mom, of course I won't be like those who won the lottery, lazy and idle." The reason why I didn't plan to go to work was because I decided to start my own business. Being your own boss is better than being an ordinary staff member. ”
"It's better to start your own business and be your boss than to be a regular worker. The mother was stunned for a moment, but immediately said, "Then what are you going to do? I heard that it is not so easy to do business on your own, and if you are not careful, you will even lose your capital." I think you still go to work in the unit and use the money to buy a house and rent it, which is more safe. ”
Yes, it seems that my mother thinks that she is living as a charter man. Zeng Cheng smiled helplessly.
