Chapter 11: Windfall
The encounter with Hu Lan should be regarded as the biggest accident, in Zhang Chenyu's opinion, he was surprised, shocked, and even a little overwhelmed by his own rebirth, since such a bloody plot really happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hu Lan's straightforwardness, beauty and ignorance of the world made him excited, especially her beauty, which couldn't be more perfect, everything met the standard of beauty in his heart, but what were he still weighing?
It's not a trade-off, it's actually fear, or lack of confidence.
He knows that it is very difficult to keep a beautiful woman in the future society. It's not that I don't believe in Hu Lan, but I don't believe in the future society. Think about it again, the scene when Hu Lan's beautiful girl stood in front of a Poussin yesterday, how to look at it and how it doesn't match.
Turning over, Zhang Chenyu knew that he was moved, as a male animal, who did not have the heart and strong desire to possess the beauty. Everyone Hu Lan is like that, he is still indifferent, fake Qinggao, it really doesn't mean much.
"This woman has taken it!" When he thought like this, his heart was suddenly full of pride, and the future was striding forward.
The sound of birds in the morning woke up Zhang Chenyu in his dream. Looking at the sky outside, it was a sunny day today, and it would definitely be too hot by noon, not to mention that Zhang Chenyu did not have the habit of sleeping lazy.
After a simple wash, I carried my luggage, went downstairs to check out, and then walked to Jingshui No. 1 Middle School. The Jingshui Night Market in the morning is lazy, and the pace is so slow that people in the future will worry when they look at it.
The small shop rental advertisement was seen by Zhang Chenyu the day before the college entrance examination, and he didn't think about the future at that time, he just glanced at the rental information posted at the door casually, and didn't pay much attention to it.
At this moment, he is not so careless, his heart is even a little nervous, the location here is really ideal, in the middle of such a bustling street, just on the side of a kind of gate, too ideal for this location.
When I came here, the surrounding shops had not yet opened, and the early risers were lazily standing on the side of the street chatting or sitting in front of their half-open shops to smoke cigarettes and watch the pedestrians passing by on the road. But Zhang Chenyu felt the breath of life coming to his face, in fact, there are also nostalgic places in this era.
The rental information of the small store was still there, and Zhang Chenyu sat at the door of the store and waited patiently.
At nine o'clock, a forty-five or sixteen-year-old man, with his hands in his trouser pockets, humming a little song in the innermost part, walked slowly over here, Zhang Chenyu was not sure if this was the owner of this shop, so he just watched, but did not get up.
Until the man got closer and closer, and even he began to turn inside on the sidewalk in front of the shop next door, Zhang Chenyu stood up and looked at the man and smiled, the man walked to the door, took out the key, opened the roller shutter door and asked, "What are you going to do, young man!" ”
Zhang Chenyu replied with a smile: "Do you want to rent this store?" ”
"Oh, yes, you want to rent?" The man looked at Zhang Chenyu and asked, obviously he didn't believe that Zhang Chenyu could rent this place, just based on Zhang Chenyu's dirty clothes, he concluded that this kid was a boring conversation in the morning, and turned around and walked into the store as he spoke, too lazy to take care of Zhang Chenyu.
Zhang Chenyu smiled secretly in his heart, just your dog-eyed style of looking at people, plus the way you walked just now, Lao Tzu knew that you would be finished if you opened a store and didn't die. Of course, isn't it the first time anyone interacts with people? The tradition of five thousand years is like this, Zhang Chenyu knows that even he can't look down on people without looking down on people, so he smiled, "Yes, I want to rent you here, I don't know what kind of rent method you have here, and whether you are a landlord or a sublease!" As he spoke, Zhang Chenyu followed the man into the store.
The man finally had a smile on his face, he beckoned Zhang Chenyu to sit, and then said, "I'm the landlord, you see there's nothing in the house, what's the matter with subletting?" ”
Zhang Chenyu looked at the inside of the house cooperatively, it was indeed empty, only the two small stools they were sitting on. "And how are you going to rent it?"
"According to the market price, the rent is 100 yuan per month, and you can sign a long-term contract if you pay one and pay three!" The man said. He was very busy during this time, but he still had to take the time to come and look at these two shops, which had been ignored for a few days, and his patience was about to be worn out.
"Long-term contracts?" Zhang Chenyu's face turned alive, "How long?" "He was a little anxious.
"I'll tell you the truth, young man, my whole family is doing business in Longling now, I don't have time to come back often to take care of it, if I can sign a contract for a long time, it will be better!" The middle-aged man saw Zhang Chenyu's eager face, and he also saw the hope of a one-time deal.
"Then you might as well sell here!" Zhang Chenyu knew the simplicity of the people in the nineties, and of course there were those thieves, so he half-jokingly tested the man's last thoughts.
"You want to buy it?" A glimmer of light flashed in the man's eyes, he wanted to sell it so much, he asked a few people in front of him, no one was willing to pay, after all, in ninety-three years, the inland economy was completely still an agricultural economy, and no one would think about the future of the city center, every inch of land. Now his family is on the Longling side, and the fare and other expenses for running back and forth every month are more than the rent here, so how to calculate the loss, this is a piece of chicken ribs!
"And how are you going to sell it?" Zhang Chenyu didn't care whether he had so much money at this time.
"There is a total of 100 square meters of indoor usable area here, and there is a three-meter open space in front of the house that is also mine, and the sidewalk in front of it is the public house, if you sincerely ask for 2,000 yuan!" The man looked at Zhang Chenyu expectantly.
Zhang Chenyu's heart is about to pop out, two thousand yuan, the usable area of the two shops is more than 100 square meters, and there is a three-meter-long open space in front, a total of about 160 square meters, what kind of character does this have to be, two thousand yuan, you must buy, put it for a few years, you can sell him for an actual 200,000 yuan, if you have the patience to sell it after 2008, it will not be a problem!
"Cheng, I bought it, so I'll get the money, you wait for me here for a while!" Zhang Chenyu was afraid that the man would regret it and said: "Let's sign a contract first, I'll pay you a thousand yuan first, and I'll give you another thousand yuan later, and then let's go to the housing management center to transfer the property!" Can it be done? ”
"Absolutely, that's great! Little brother, you've done me a great favor! The man's eyes lit up, as if he had taken advantage of it!
"Help?" Zhang Chenyu muttered in his heart, how could he have such thoughts? Is it so hot to have a shop in your hand?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chenyu said quietly: "No way, for the sake of life, people who have a way out and ability, who will come to live in two shops?" ”
The middle-aged man laughed, "That's not what you say, you said that our ancestors have been here for generations, charging dozens of yuan in rent every month, what can we do, but if this shop wants to be sold, someone has to ask for it!" ”
Zhang Chenyu's heart tightened, his thoughts were flying, no wonder, no wonder it was later rumored that this street was bought by a person, and gradually showed its power after two thousand years, and by 2010, that person's worth was definitely around one billion, which is the reason why there are so many schools on this street that occupy many stores. You can't eat it even if you sit and sleep.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Chenyu took a look again, and the pavements in this row were all one-story irrigation houses, and it seemed that they should have been built in recent years. Looking at the lazy appearance of these shops, he instantly understood that a shop was only thirty or forty yuan a month's rent, and the cold pocket money was gone, where would there be spare money. There are also people who often guard, and when the business of renting a house is not good, 30 yuan has to come to the door once left and right to ask for it, and the life is really not good.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable, the economic situation of Jingshui in 93 years is really worrying, and they still don't understand what the land economy is, so it makes sense why they are unwilling to guard this shop, and at this time, most families have no spare money at all, and those who have spare money can't see the distant future, so they don't want to invest their money in it, so it's inevitable that this kind of shop will become a chicken rib. Or maybe that's the perk!
"There's a chance!" Zhang Chenyu thought about it, looked at the middle-aged man and said casually: "Yes, everyone's life is too difficult, these shops are yours, not the government?" ”
"This street used to belong to one of our villages, but then the city expanded and we became a city here, and the pavement of this street was distributed to the residents! The days are brighter than ever! "The middle-aged man has a deep understanding and feelings!
Zhang Chenyu calculated in his heart, and then said with a smile: "I'll pay you 1,000 yuan first, and I'll give you the other 1,000 after the transfer procedures are completed, is it okay?" ”
The man took the money handed over by Zhang Yang, and said while counting the money with saliva: "Yes, of course, let's go through the formalities now!" "Zhang Chenyu has to say that the people of this era are still very simple, if it is placed in the future generations, if you ask like this, the ghost will tell you the truth!
Zhang Chenyu nodded and said, "Then you wait for me for a while, I'll make a call!" "He doesn't have any money in his hands now, and it would be wishful thinking to buy this piece of land, and he has to think of another way to make money first.
Now Zhang Chenyu has further realized the charm of money. A person, a family, a unit or even a country will be in a desperate situation if there is no money, and money represents your identity and status whenever and wherever you are. If you don't have money, many times you will be looked down upon, especially in the future after the deepening of reform and opening up and the power of economic construction as the center, without money, you will be bullied everywhere, and you will have no social status at all.
At this moment, he could only turn to Hu Lan for help, he suddenly had some doubts in his heart, God arranged for him to be reborn and come back to meet Hu Lan, could it be for this matter? Surely it was, he thought, and the phone went through, "Hey, who's it!" "The person who answered the phone was a woman, it should be Hu Lan's mother!
"Auntie, hello, I'm Hu Lan's classmate, please find her, is it okay?" Zhang Chenyu's voice is full of magnetism, and at the same time polite and comprehensive, no parent will have a good impression of an impolite guy, this is the first impression.
The one who answered the phone was Hu Lan's mother Huang Liping, she smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, this is a sensible and polite child, at least it shows that Lan Lan has no dealings with people in school, she smiled and said, "Well, you wait a minute!" "Don't ask anything else at this time, even if it's a boy, my daughter is eighteen years old!
She walked towards one of the bedrooms inside, knocked on the door and said, "Lan Lan, your classmate called to find you, you pick it up!" ”
Hu Lan asked lazily: "Who, so early!" As he spoke, he got up and walked to the living room outside!
Hearing her daughter say this, Ms. Huang Liping was even more relieved, obviously it was not a premeditated prior agreement, she chuckled and walked to the kitchen.
Picking up the phone, Hu Lan asked lazily, "Who, so early!" ”
"Still sleeping?" Zhang Chenyu asked.
Hu Lan suddenly became energetic, and said with a smile: "You got up so early and want to go back?" ”
"I won't go back for the time being, I'm looking for your help!" Zhang Chenyu said a little embarrassed, after all, everyone guessed that they had known each other for two days, and they would find someone to borrow money, no matter how they said it, they couldn't say a suitable reason, and they just took a thousand yuan from others, no matter how you look at it, it looks like asking for money. But he really has no choice, if he doesn't eat the fat in front of him, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"What's the matter, you say!" When Hu Lan heard that Zhang Chenyu asked her for help, she immediately became energetic, rolled up her sleeves, and was ready at any time.
"Eh, don't laugh at me, don't scold me, okay?" Zhang Chenyu is a little weak-hearted, don't be looked down upon by others for this little thing.
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Hu Lan was aroused, it was only one night, how could this Zhang Chenyu's temperament change greatly, and he was still twisting and pinching, it could be that he was such a person.
Zhang Chenyu turned his heart sideways, anyway, he always had to say, it was better to have some fun, he said in a low voice: "I want to borrow some money from you, I don't know if you have it there!" ”
"How much do you want, no more money for the car?" Hu Lan giggled, she was thinking about Zhang Chenyu's embarrassed appearance.
"Well, no, I want to borrow a lot of money, I don't know if I can?" Once again, he stumbled.
Feeling that the matter seemed to be a bit big, beyond expectations, Hu Lan also became serious, "How much do you want, the 20,000 yuan that my father gave me yesterday is still with me!" I don't have more! "She's not a fool, besides, the 20,000 yuan was a decision she made privately and didn't give it to Zhang Chenyu, she wouldn't ask for it if she wanted to, but she didn't expect him to call early in the morning to ask for it, could it be that he was wrong?
She was a little annoyed, annoyed that she always looked at the wrong person, and at the same time she was glad, glad that Zhang Chenyu took the initiative to expose his heart, and the money was given, which can be regarded as a decision, and it is best not to owe favors. Thinking like this, since she felt a little sad, she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes.
Zhang Chenyu sensed something, or waited a little too long, he smiled: "Forget it, I'll think of his method again!" Saying that, he was about to hang up the phone, he thought about the other party refusing him in advance, after all, everyone is not very familiar, this is also normal, human nature, even if he will not happily agree to borrow money, and said that he wants to borrow a lot of money.
"Wait, where are you, I'll send it to you!" Hu Lan thought in her heart, anyway, it was going to be broken, and it was better to send it over to explain things clearly. At this moment, she actually has some angry ingredients in it.
Zhang Chenyu said that he would think of another way, but at this moment and here, how many families can get a thousand yuan? There are a few people who are willing to give their sister so much money to themselves, and they all blame themselves for not going through their brains just now, and they should deal with this matter as soon as their heads are hot, they are still too reckless, and they are eager to make money, so they must pay attention in the future. This is a lack of proportion.
After being stunned for a while, Zhang Chenyu looked up at the sky, he really didn't want to miss this opportunity, but the difficulties he faced were also more difficult than climbing to the sky, after thinking about it, he whispered to the phone: "I'm sorry, it's abrupt!" When he hung up the phone, he was a little sad, and there was something crystal clear in his eyes turning. If people don't have difficulties, who will cry easily?
