"Ladies and gentlemen, our final stop, Shanghai Railway Station, is about to arrive, thank you for taking this train-"

Shanghai Railway Station.

On the train from Yi'an to Shanghai, when the announcer's voice reminding the station to arrive echoed in the carriage, Zhang Chen was already sitting and watching the scenery all the way, except for the greener mountains, the scenery outside the window made him remind himself over and over again when and where he was.

Shanghai in '96.

His heart was vaguely full of curiosity, and he was unexpectedly brought to Shanghai by the old man in advance, Zhang Chen was not only full of curiosity, but also full of expectations.

Because he found that when he was looking for a second pot of gold in the world, he seemed to have forgotten about Shanghai in '96, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as gold everywhere.

Zhang Wenlin carried a small bag in one hand and Zhang Chen's hand in the other hand and squeezed out of the railway station after leaving the station, Shanghai at this time seemed more desolate, and there was no high-rise building scene around the station.

"Dad, where do we go first? Why don't you go to the city? ”

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Zhang Wenlin.

"Let's do it first."

pursed his lips and Zhang Chen didn't speak, and in the next two days, as Zhang Wenlin said, the father and son had been running back and forth between various construction sites, looking for more than a dozen people back and forth, and only eight finally agreed to go back.

Zhang Wenlin had already calculated the account in his heart, eight people were enough to call for himself, and he was not reluctant immediately, the eight who agreed to go back were a few young people, due to lack of experience, the wages here were not high, Zhang Wenlin's wages were relatively high by 30%, and they were close to home, so they were naturally happy to see this.

But Zhang Wenlin knew that in two years, the young craftsmen would become masters, and now what they lacked was only a few days, and then these young people would be the main force.

Building a road is not the same as building a house, it is not so complicated, get these young people back and pull up the team, and the experience of building the road will be up, and no matter what you do, there will be no shortage of manpower.

Now in Shanghai, the Yi'an contractor is a family of masters, most of the young people are learning the craft, few masters are willing to take apprentices, but this kind of young people who have just been out of school for less than two years do not need to bring.

After the matter was settled, there were still 5 days left before the end of the holiday, and it would take another day and a half to take the car on the way back.

After leaving the contact information and the travel fee of 200 yuan per person, Zhang Wenlin took his son Zhang Chen to the city, and he always wanted to see it when he came.

I spent two days in Shanghai, although I either stayed in the hotel and watched TV all day, or spent the whole day with the masons on the construction site.

But Zhang Chen got the news he wanted.

The rest of the family's money should be invested, but what is it easier to invest in the stock market of 96, Zhang Chen can't think of anything else.

However, how to get the old man to agree to him to pay attention to the stock market has become a big problem.

In this era when the old man didn't know how the stock market worked at all, if he wanted to convince him to put such a large amount of money into the stock market, Zhang Chen thought that it would be more difficult than letting him change his career and go home to farm.

Stand on the Bund River View Corridor at the end of Nanjing Road.

In 96 years, Lujiazui could only see the Oriental Pearl standing there alone, and the surrounding area seemed empty, which was very different from the urban perimeter outlined by the large urban buildings in the future.

Zhang Chen pursed his lips and didn't care about the old man wasting his saliva there to introduce what they looked like when they came to Shanghai, but thought about how to let him buy stocks.

The stock market in 96 years can be said to be a year that will definitely be rewritten in the history of China's stock market, since he came to Shanghai, he happens to have some family background, if he does not make a sum of money to accumulate some capital for the old Zhang family, I am afraid that Zhang Chen will regret it to death.

"Dad, what are you going to do after the road in the village is repaired?"

Zhang Chen's heart moved, and he suddenly asked.

Zhang Wenlin was talking about the fact that they watched the Oriental Pearl get higher and higher day by day, and hearing his son's words was like being choked.

This stubble is not a thing at all, this kid! But this matter did just ask him in his heart, but because of the majesty of Lao Tzu, Zhang Wenlin was still a little angry.

"You just care about your studies, where do children have so many things!"

"Dad, you are arrogant, I am also a part of the family, not for anything else, just to live a good life in the future, you have to ask, look there, if you make money in the future, how good it is to buy a piece of land and build a house there."

Zhang Chen said and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of Lu Jiazui on the opposite side, and his mouth seemed to say casually, but his eyes glanced hard at Zhang Wenlin's face.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenlin raised his eyes and looked at the other side, and his heart jumped abruptly, to say that he didn't have any impulsive thoughts at his age, it was absolutely false.

Zhang Chen's words just evoked many memories for him.

After so many years of digging in Shanghai, he has seen this place become what it is today, and they have paid their youth and sweat for the growth of this city, if they never thought of staying in this city to live in the future, it must be false.

His son's words just spoke to his heart, Zhang Wenlin didn't say anything for a long time, just quietly looked at the scenery across the Huangpu River, and recalled the road he had traveled over and over again in his mind.

He still remembers the excitement and anticipation of coming to Shanghai for the first time, as well as the loneliness and reluctance when he had no choice but to leave Shanghai and go home two years ago.

But he knew that the truth was always crueler than the ideal.

"After the road is repaired, I will bring people to Shanghai to do the project."

Zhang Chen looked at the old man's face that suddenly became a little calm, and his heart moved to know that the old man was already moved.

"Dad, why don't we use our family's money to buy a house in Shanghai!"

In 96, the average price of buying a house in a better location in Shanghai is estimated to be about 2000, so as soon as Zhang Chen said this, Zhang Wenlin really moved his mind.

With the savings of nearly 800,000 yuan of the old Zhang family, there is no pressure to buy a house of more than 100 square meters in this city, let alone one, even five sets, I am afraid it is enough.

But how could Zhang Chen let the old man take the money to buy a house, then his efforts for half a day would be wasted.

"If you don't buy a house, you might as well buy stocks!"

"Buy stocks?"

Zhang Wenlin is not unaware of stocks, when he used to build houses for others, he heard that locals often talked about this thing, some people make and some people lose, but he doesn't know the Tao.

Now I suddenly heard my son Zhang Chen mention it, and there was still some magic for a while, this kid in his own house spoke too much, but he had already heard some extraneous voices, this kid was afraid that he would hit the family's money again.

He was not surprised in his heart, this money could earn back this kid's idea to take advantage of a lot, he was also very curious about what the half-old kid could think, for the rest of the family's money, he didn't want others to look at it like that.

After all, he is a person who has graduated from high school and has seen the world outside, Zhang Wenlin is not rigid, on the contrary, he is very active, he has thought a lot about the use of this money at home, buying a house is one of them, but buying stocks has never been thought of.
