Chapter 126: Buying a House
In Jinling City, Jiangsu Province, in a somewhat dilapidated two-story building in the city, one of the doors was closed.
Qiao's father stood at the door and shouted at the door with a fan.
The old wall clock at home happened to jingle and ringed 10 times, no more, no less.
Qiao Hai was a little confused and a little helpless.
He landed from the magic capital yesterday evening and arrived in Jinling late at night.
I haven't had time to reverse the jet lag, Qiao's father is good, he shouted once at 7 o'clock, Qiao Hai ignored it, shouted again at 8 o'clock, didn't give up at 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, this time Qiao's father seemed to be a little angry, Qiao Hai slept lazy as soon as he came back, the sun was almost overhead, and Qiao Hai hadn't gotten up yet.
It seems that this kid has not learned anything else in the United States, but he has learned it lazily.
A few more screams, it was ten o'clock, and he had to wake the boy up.
Shouting one by one, Qiao Hai was helpless and got up.
Dressed in casual clothes and taking care of his hair, Qiao Hai opened the door.
Qiao's father didn't know what jet lag was, he didn't explain, opened the door, and looked at Qiao's father, who was constantly fanning the wind with a big pu fan in the summer, Qiao Hai grinned: "Dad, I didn't go to work today." β
Qiao's father replied angrily: "I didn't go, didn't you come back, I took two days off." β
Qiao Hai's second aunt is the owner of the earthen restaurant, Qiao's father has the skill of cooking with one hand, and he helps the kitchen in the second aunt's native restaurant, Qiao's mother is not at home today, Qiao Hai knows that Qiao's mother is probably going to work.
Qiao's mother works in a state-owned textile factory, usually in the morning, and gets off work at noon.
Therefore, Qiao Hai smiled: "That's right, when my mother comes back in the afternoon, let's go to the new city to see the house together." β
Jinling has been developing in recent years, and a large area of residential areas has been planned in the new city, which is in full swing, and Qiao Hai knows that in ten years, the new city will be the center of Jinling, and the old city will be gradually forgotten and finally forced to develop again.
"What are you doing looking at the house?" Qiao's father patted Qiao Hai's back with a pu fan, urging Qiao Hai to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Qiao Hai ran downstairs with a smile, squeezed the toothpaste and brushed it directly.
There are always neighbors passing by outside the big yard, and when they saw Qiao Hai, these neighbors were a little surprised: "Yo, Xiaohai is back?" β
Qiao Hai could only smile and replied vaguely: "Yes, I just arrived yesterday." β
Looking at the house, Qiao Hai brushed his teeth and explained when he washed his face: "I'm going to buy you a new house." β
"Buying a new home? This old house lives well, why buy a new house? Isn't that a waste? β
"It's not wasteful, the old house can be rented."
Qiao's father waved his hand directly: "If you don't buy it, we will live in the old house, the old city is close to the local restaurant, it is more convenient for me to go to work, if I move to the new city, I have to ride for more than half an hour every day when I go to work." β
Speaking of local cuisine restaurants, Qiao Hai remembered it.
Qiao's father has been helping the second aunt cook, but the second uncle's family is not a good person, not to mention being stingy, so many years, Qiao's father's salary has not increased.
The second aunt is still a person who doesn't keep her mouth shut, and she can always say something excessive, that is, Qiao's mother and Qiao's father, if you change someone else, you can't stand it anymore.
The second aunt's family is the richest of the brothers and sisters on my grandmother's side, the family is very arrogant and arrogant, and loves to show off, to be honest, Qiao Hai doesn't look down on his second aunt's family, and Qiao Hai wants to say that Qiao's father should have left the second aunt's local restaurant a long time ago and came out to work alone.
Working at the second aunt's house, not to mention the low salary, he is always angry.
In fact, Qiao Hai also knew that if it weren't for Qiao's father's low salary, the second aunt would have not wanted Qiao's father to help cook, and now Qiao's father is a low-cost labor, and the second aunt's family is naturally willing to keep Qiao's father, of course, Qiao Hai's idea is that he would rather the second aunt not want Qiao's father to help cook, and the province will be angry.
Now that Qiao Hai is out of breath, he doesn't want to watch Qiao's father and Qiao's mother continue to be angry.
So, I thought about it: "Dad, didn't you think about going out on your own?" β
"Alone? You have to be rich, too? β
Qiao Hai didn't agree: "What, when I was in the United States, didn't I pay you one after another, I have to have 100,000 yuan, it's no problem to open a restaurant, right?" β
"I saved the 100,000 yuan, and I couldn't take it out for five years."
Qiao Hai was speechless, in 1999, he could buy two suites in Jinling New Town, of course, not counting decoration.
As a result, Qiao's father directly saved a fixed term, or five years, and after five years, the 100,000 yuan could only buy a house in the new city at most.
In these years, money is the most loss-saving.
"Why can't you take it out, you must be able to take it out, Dad, seriously, your skills are no worse than your second aunt's, really, do it yourself, let my mother quit her job on the state farm and come back to help."
Qiao Hai thought about the money he brought back from the United States: "This time I came back from the United States and brought another sum of money, Dad, I will directly buy you a house in the new city, and then buy two or three sets of storefronts, you keep one set to open a restaurant, and some collect rent, this old house, you can put it away, or rent it out, there is Jinling University in the old city, and there is a market for renting out." β
Qiao Hai was very angry, buying a house and buying a faΓ§ade, Qiao's father didn't understand: "What are you doing in the United States, making so much money?" β
"Basketball coach." Qiao Hai didn't hide it either. "See the two trophies I brought back, those were the first place trophies, I'm now the champion coach of American basketball, of course I earn a lot."
"How much?"
"I didn't calculate it much before, anyway, in the next year, I can get 1 million, or dollars."
"How much?"
Father Qiao asked again, and his voice raised.
Qiao Hai was helpless: "1 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 8 million RMB, right......"
Qiao's father was silent and stopped squeaking.
More than 8 million, or a year.
This number has too much impact on Qiao's father.
The money he couldn't earn in his life, Qiao Hai earned it in a year's hard work.
Basketball coach, Qiao's father probably knows that there are posters of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan in Qiao Hai's room.
Now that Qiao Hai is so rich, Qiao's father is no longer stubborn.
Qiao Hai wanted to buy a house, and he didn't refuse, but just said, "Wait for your mother to come back and discuss it with her." β
Qiao Hai knew that it was false to discuss with Qiao's mother, Qiao's mother's character has always been very weak, what others say is what she says, and she never refutes it, especially some of Qiao's father's words, for Qiao's mother, it is simply a holy decree.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Qiao's mother came back, and the family of three went out directly.
The construction of the new city is still in full swing, but several new developments have already been launched.
In 1999, there was still no elevator in the new real estate, and the highest floor was only six floors.
The 50,000 US dollars that Qiao Hai brought back have been exchanged for RMB, plus Qiao's father has saved more than 100,000 yuan on a regular basis, Qiao Hai now has close to 600,000 funds.
Qiao Hai's idea is to leave about 200,000 yuan to renovate new houses and restaurants, and the rest will buy houses and storefronts, which is a profitable investment, and Qiao Hai should obviously seize it.
