Chapter 13: A New Way of Making Money

The time entered the middle of July, and the sun was even more blazing in the capital, and at noon, it was as unbearable as a fire. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and even the public jiāo cars are driving away, and they all look so unruly.

"Mingyuan, I said that you don't have that money, why do you still live here? If you change to a big house, it's not comfortable to live in! Mei Yuanwu, who was standing under the cold wind of the air conditioner, raised his head and poured two mouthfuls of ice water. Even though he had arrived by car, he was still hot enough.

"Hmph, no wonder you don't want to go to the army, just like you, you must have been kicked back within a few days of arriving in the army! Lose the face of your Mei family. Chai Jing, who came with him, couldn't help but laugh at him on the side. The Lu brothers, who are often with Mei Yuanwu, are in a military school, so they can't sneak out casually like him.

Mei Yuanwu was not angry, drank a few more sips of water, and then sat on the sofa and said: "Mingyuan, let's be serious, if you agree, I will help you find a place, to ensure that the conditions are better than the current one, and the living is comfortable!" Well, it's not far from the school, just turn to the north, by the moat, there are about two or three stops, the new xiǎo area of the central bank over there, whether it is the pattern, or the orientation of the room, the environment in the big xiǎo, xiǎo area, I don't have to say! ”

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "No need, when the new school starts, we will move to live in the Hutong courtyard!" Fang Mingyuan bought the courtyard house where his mother lived back then, and acquired the two adjacent courtyards, which have been repaired and renovated for so long, and are now nearing completion. By the time we get to September, you'll be able to move in. In this regard, Fang Mingyuan and they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

"In the courtyard of the alley?" Chai Jing said in surprise, "What are you moving there for?" Luàn and noisy ......"

"Pull it down, what you said is a courtyard house where people live together, Mingyuan They must be a courtyard house living alone!" Mei Yuanwu waved his hand and said, "Mingyuan, if you really have a vision, in the capital, there are not many Haode courtyards." Where is this of yours? How big is it? Is it a big quadruple? Medium Quadruple? Or xiǎo 四合? ”

Mei Yuanwu's reference to the Great Sihe, Zhong Sihe, and Xiǎo Sihe refers to the scale of the Beijing Sihe. Generally in the middle of the four, and xiǎo four, it is the residence of ordinary residents.

Like xiǎo Sihe, it is generally for a family of three generations to live, generally three rooms in the north room, one bright and two dark or two bright and one dark, two rooms in the east and west wings, and three rooms in the south room. The ancestors live in the main room, the younger generations live in the wing room, and the south room is used as a study or living room.

The middle quadrangle is much more spacious than the xiǎo quadrangle, generally five rooms in the north room, three rooms in the left and right wings, and there is a corridor in front of the house to shelter from the wind and rain. Then use the courtyard wall to divide the whole courtyard into the front yard and the back yard, and then open the moon mén on the courtyard wall. One or two houses are left in the front yard for mén rooms, and the back yard is used for residential rooms.

As for the large courtyard, it is what was called "mansion mén" in the past, and it is impossible to have it if it is not an official or a wealthy businessman, or an official government mén. Generally, it is a composite quadruple courtyard, that is, it is formed by a number of quadrangle courtyards connected in depth. There are many courtyards, including front yard, back yard, east courtyard, west courtyard, main courtyard, partial courtyard, cross courtyard, study courtyard, enclosed courtyard, horse number, one entry, two entrance, three entrances...... Wait a minute. There are hand-copying verandahs in the courtyard to connect all places, covering a huge area. Even some wealthy families have their own independent huā gardens.

These courtyards, there is generally a courtyard in the middle, the courtyard is spacious, the courtyard of the rich and noble often has a stone in the house, generally most of them are planted with begonia trees, pomegranate bonsai, and goldfish are raised in large tanks, which means auspicious, and is a very ideal outdoor living space. The courtyard houses in the capital are all handed down from the Qing Dynasty, but except for those palaces with historical significance or the mansions of famous people, most of them have now been built by Hu Daluàn. I can't see the mood of the year at all.

Fang Mingyuan smiled dumbly and said, "You really look up to me, Big Sihe?" You can buy it if you want to. That is, the scale of the quadrangle. It was originally the place where my uncle and my mother were born, and then my mother went to the countryside and my uncle moved out of there. I bought it and bought two courtyards adjacent to each other on both sides, combined them into one, renovated and renovated, and I was ready to move in in September. ”

"Just a few of you?" Mei Yuanwu's eyes immediately lit up and said. Listening to what Fang Mingyuan said, the courtyard he was going to move to should be formed by the merger of three xiǎo quadrangle, so even if Fang Mingyuan, Lin Rong, Zhao Ya, Feng Qian, Liu Yong, and Chen Zhong each had a house, it should be more than enough.

"Mingyuan, you have to leave one for me!" Chai Jing also reacted and hurriedly shouted.

It's not that this quadrangle is so rare for the two of them, with the status of the two families in the capital, let alone the quadrangle, even the villa in Xishan, there is also a share of the two families. Rather, this is a good opportunity to get closer to Fang Mingyuan. The elders of the two families have mentioned more than once on weekdays that they want the two to strengthen their ties with Fang Mingyuan, and it is best to become good friends. This is not only to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two families and the Fang family, but also to hope that the two can use this to form a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan. If everyone can live together and get along day and night, it is undoubtedly the best.

And for the two of them, living with Fang Mingyuan and them can be less restrained and more free than living at home!

Under the stubborn entanglement of the two, Fang Mingyuan could only nod helplessly, anyway, there are so many rooms, not to mention that the two of them live in, even if there are a few more, there will be absolutely no problem.

The satisfied Chai Jing pulled Zhao Ya and Feng Qian and went to the next room to talk about the room, leaving Mei Yuanwu and Fang Mingyuan, and Liu Yong had already returned to Pingchuan.

"I heard that you were in the top five of your grade again in the final exam this time?" Mei Yuanwu sighed in admiration. You must know that Longtan Middle School is a key middle school in the district, although the admission rate is not as amazing as the municipal middle school, but the top five in the grade is also eligible to be sent to a first-class university in Beijing. Like Fang Mingyuan, it is a miracle that in a semester, the master who has been in the classroom for less than a month can still stay in the top ten of the grade. If Mei Yuanwu didn't know, Fang Mingyuan would definitely disdain ****, otherwise, he would definitely have to wonder if this xiǎo had gotten the test paper in advance.

"Stop! If you have anything to say, don't talk nonsense! Fang Mingyuan said angrily. In the past few days, he has been tired of being asked about the exam. To be honest, this result was also a bit unexpected for him, originally he thought that he would be able to keep the top ten positions this time, who would have thought that he would actually get the fourth place in the grade!

Mei Yuanwu laughed twice, and then he came closer and said: "Mingyuan, you are now a celebrity, the first private capitalist to enter the steel industry!" ”

Fang Mingyuan's sweat all over his body stood up, and he hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't don't, don't mention any private capitalists, why do you sound so awkward!" We are still far from the capitalists! Say whatever you want, if you talk nonsense like this, I'll leave. Yuanwu, you're on vacation now, brother, I'm still entangled in everything here. "Private capitalists, that are also capitalists, in China, as capitalists, that is not a good thing. Don't you see what happened to the original private capitalists after the founding of the country? Even in the new century, how many of those emerging private entrepreneurs are safe and sound?

Mei Yuanwu laughed twice, and then said, "I'm not here to ask you to help me come up with another idea, and see if there is a good way to make a fortune now." ”

Fang Mingyuan leaned on the back of the sofa, looked at him obliquely, and said: "I said Yuanwu, your company is now a turnover of more than one billion yuan a year, and it is not an unknown company in the capital, even if the market in the capital is saturated, you can go to other first-tier cities, I don't believe it, with your Mei family's influence in China, if you go to other provinces and cities to do a canteen contract business, no one will help you!" You can't chew it if you are greedy! ”

Mei Yuanwu scratched his head a little embarrassed, Fang Mingyuan was right, the company they established could completely expand its business to other cities in Huaxia. A capital can provide a turnover of more than 1 billion yuan a year, if you count the first-tier cities in China, as long as you do a little better, the turnover of 10 billion yuan a year in the future is not a fantasy. "Mingyuan, this company makes money, but it's really a little bit untable. You say, this is going out and chatting with people, this one is doing finance, that one is doing IT, you are doing heavy industry and supermarket industry, what about me? Make a cafeteria! That doesn't sound like a word! You said, buddy, in the future, if it's Jiāo an NV friend, it's too shameless to say it! ”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but smile dumbly: "You won't say that you are in the catering industry?" The people take food as the sky, starve him for three days, and see who dares to look down on those who do the catering industry! ”

Mei Yuanwu had a bitter face and was silent.

"Okay, okay, let me think!" Fang Mingyuan sighed and said, "Old rules? ”

"The old rules!" Mei Yuanwu shouted happily, "We promise not to do anything illegal and violated, and we promise not to oppress people with power!" Bully the weak! ”

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "If you have the patience and are willing to invest money, you might as well buy all the well-preserved courtyard houses in the capital!" It was then renovated and modernized. It's better to be able to link them together into a film, so much the better! ”

"Huh?" Mei Yuanwu said with a puzzled expression, "And then?" ”
