In Wang Aihua's eyes, the house in the capital is too expensive. For a slightly larger yard, a set costs thousands or even tens of thousands. Even if you buy two private houses, it will cost two or three thousand yuan, which is not worth it at all.

It's still good in my hometown, and there are only four or five hundred brick kilns in a hoop. If you dig the kiln, the price is lower.

"Love Hua Gu, that's not how the account is calculated. You can definitely feel that more and more people have moved into the city in recent years, housing will only become tighter, and housing prices will continue to rise. The later you buy it, the higher the price will definitely be. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your two children. They can't go back to Jar Village when they grow up and get married, right? Wang Manyin opened his mouth to persuade.

The opportunity is really rare, and you definitely have to shoot your thighs after you miss it.

"Love flowers, I think what Man Yin said is right. Now the house is very sought-after, didn't you read the newspaper some time ago, there are currently nearly 200,000 households with housing difficulties waiting to be resettled in the city......" Xie Liansheng listened.

He has always trusted Wang Manyin very much, and knows that the other party has a very unique vision. If it weren't for someone's advice, I would still be working as a dung digger on the street.

The repair shop looks inconspicuous, earning at least three or five yuan a day. If you encounter large appliances such as TVs and refrigerators, you will be charged ten yuan for maintenance at a time.

In a month, you can basically have an income of 200 yuan. After deducting the food and drink of the family, it is much higher than that of ordinary workers.

In the past two years, they have saved a lot of money, barely enough to buy a few houses.

"Now there are tenants in private houses, and people are not allowed to be evicted. If you buy it, you can't live in it, what use can it be. Wang Aihua muttered.

When she first came to the capital with her husband, she didn't understand anything. However, after living here for a few years, Wang Aihua has gradually adapted to it, and now knows a lot about all aspects by chatting with neighbors.

"This is indeed a trouble," Xie Liansheng frowned, and explained to Wang Manyin, "Due to reasons in previous years, almost all vacant houses are arranged with tenants. Although the property rights now belong to individuals, there are rules that landlords cannot evict tenants and cannot increase rents at will. Such private houses are very cheap to buy, some thousands of dollars a set...... However, if you want to buy a private house without tenants, the price is high, and you have to try your luck, I don't know when you will meet ......"

"It's good to try your luck, after a long time, there is always the right one. Even if it's two rooms, at least it's your own house. Wang Manyin followed up and persuaded again.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he had no plans to settle in the capital for the time being, he would now want to buy two sets of opportunities.

However, as Xie Liansheng said, there are not many private houses for sale at present. There is no reliable real estate agent these days...... If you don't know the specific situation of the house, you are likely to fall into the pit and plant a big heel.

This is not Huangyuan City, there are uncles everywhere.

Another point is that buying and selling does not break the lease.

If the tenant never moves out, the house he bought can easily become uninhabitable. What's more, the rent of the house must be in accordance with the guide price, and the landlord cannot increase the price at will. The rent standard for a house is two dollars eight to four dollars five, and it has not changed much for decades. The monthly rent of a courtyard house is dozens of yuan, and even the maintenance fee of the house is not enough.

At present, you can only get one property right when you buy it.

So Wang Manyin plans to wait a few years and see what happens.

A good meal is not afraid of being late, there should still be a chance.

I have the impression that in the nineties, there were only hundreds of thousands of courtyard houses. The real price is two thousand years later, and the price has soared, and a set costs tens or even hundreds of millions.

Of course, even if you can't buy a courtyard house at that time, you can buy a few school district houses.

As she spoke, Wang Aihua had already fried two meat dishes, and then made half a pot of fried noodles.

Xie Liansheng originally planned to take the wine, but Wang Manyin rejected it. I have to do something in the afternoon, what if I get drunk.

"Speaking of which, Man Yin, what are you doing in the capital this time?" The meal was served, and Wang Aihua inquired with curiosity.

"I'm not buying and selling spiced melon seeds, the next step is to expand the scale, I want to be more formal, and register a trademark." Wang Manyin stirred a few times in the bowl with chopsticks, and put a ball in his mouth.

The fried noodles made by Wang Aihua taste okay, similar to what he once spent dozens of yuan on in a restaurant.

Whether it is now or in the future, the capital fried noodles are very famous. Especially in many text descriptions, there is a kind of authentic charm.

I don't know, I thought it was the first in the world.

If you really eat it, you will know that in fact, this thing is not much different from Zhenzi noodles, nothing more than adding more sauce, and then getting some cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, bean sprouts, etc. as side dishes.

To put it in layman's terms, it is just a bowl of ordinary noodles, not a delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Of course, Wang Manyin is not a picky eater, he eats very refreshingly, and he takes a big bite.

"What is a trademark?"

Without waiting for Wang Manyin to answer, Xie Liansheng had already explained to his mother-in-law: "It is the brand of the product, such as the radio we repaired, there are panda cards, butterfly cards, spring thunder brands, ......."

"It's a sign for a long time. Man Yin, why did you come to the capital for this purpose? What's the use...... Without this brand, you don't sell melon seeds? Isn't it a waste of money to throw around? After hearing this, Wang Aihua immediately exclaimed.

Even Xie Liansheng was puzzled, and also felt that it was useless to sell spiced melon seeds for a trademark.

"There are still some effects, for example, I registered a trademark called 'Lao Wang Spiced Melon Seeds', and others can't use this name in the future." Wang Manyin can only explain it this way.

No way, these days, ordinary people don't understand the meaning of trademarks at all.

He has a lot of plans in mind about trademarks, but there is no need to expand on them.

Wang Manyin also wanted to wait for the Trademark Office to register as many names as possible, so as not to leave a chance for those who registered with the nameplate.

At present, trademark management is not strict, and many enterprises deliberately rub the nameplate registration.

The most classic is the current Dukang and Baishui Dukang, because the names and packaging are too similar, so that drinking friends don't know who is Li Kui and who is Li Ghost.

In the 90s, people gradually began to pay attention to trademarks, only to find that many time-honored trademarks were preemptively registered, and finally made a fuss.

Wang Manyin came over this time just to try to do things well and not leave loopholes.

"By the way, Aihuagu, you have lived in the capital for so long, is there any news of Chen Yonghong?" After eating a few bites of fried noodles, Wang Manyin changed the topic.

When he asked this, he was naturally entrusted by Wang Fugui.

Since Chen Yonghong and Wang Xishan divorced and returned to the city, there has been no news. Now their children are eight or nine years old and have been living with their grandparents.

So this time, I heard that Wang Manyin was coming to the capital, and Wang Fugui specially came to ask for help to inquire. If there is really no hope, he plans to let his son find another mother-in-law.

Hearing this, Xie Liansheng and his wife were a little silent.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Aihua spoke: "No, in the past few years, other educated youths have occasionally come to Lian Sheng to get together, Chen Yonghong has never appeared, I heard that it seems to have gone to the south." ”

For emotional matters, outsiders have no way to make an evaluation. Wang Manyin has now fulfilled his obligations and did not continue to ask.

After eating, Xie Liansheng went to the alley early to call Liu Xiangyang and the others, inviting them to gather together in the evening.

When he returned, he specially borrowed a motorcycle and planned to send Wang Manyin to the Trademark Office in the afternoon.

Knowing that other people's stores are inseparable from people, Wang Manyin hurriedly excused himself, and even said that he was alone.

It's just that Xie Liansheng insisted again and again.

He reluctantly agreed, and it was a real motorcycle ride in the capital.

Fortunately, Xie Liansheng didn't like to be public, he was steady all the way, and he didn't plan to be a road killer.

"Good fellows, so many people." When he arrived at the location, Wang Manyin couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

He originally thought that the Trademark Office was the right one, but now he realized that it was not at all what he imagined. There was a long queue at the door, all of whom handed out information and filled out the form.

Wang Manyin roughly counted it, and there were almost two or three hundred people.

While waiting, he learned that it also costs money to register a trademark now, and the price is more expensive than in later generations, a thousand yuan for a trademark (for this price, I checked the information on the Internet for several hours, and it should be accurate.) If you have other information, you can say it in the comment area).

"How much, a thousand? What's the difference between this and grabbing! Xie Liansheng grinned after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice: "Man Yin, can you still do it?" ”

"It's all here, and you must register."

Wang Manyin didn't expect it to be so expensive.

The brand name that came to mind was "Six Squirrels". Before you come, prepare to register from "one squirrel" to "one hundred squirrels". Now I know that it was too much to take for granted.

Fortunately, I have saved a lot of money in the space over the years, plus the one I carried before going out, I should be able to register "ten squirrels", at most "squirrels", "big squirrels" and "small squirrels".

As for the eleven and onwards, let them be kept in the wild for the time being.

In fact, Wang Manyin thought a lot about the trademark name, and finally settled on "six squirrels".

He has always felt that the reason why "a few squirrels" in later generations were able to succeed was that the name had a considerable advantage. Because animals themselves have a strong affinity, they are easy to remember.

In addition, in people's impression, the squirrel itself likes to eat nut food, which is very suitable for product positioning.

And with an animal name, it can be expanded to other areas around the brand in the future.

For example, the simplest way to make an animated film called "The Adventures of Six Squirrels" can easily go straight into the advertisement and further deepen the brand impression.

This can be learned from the classic cartoon "Popeye" in the 90s, which is an advertisement for canned spinach, which is still very popular.

When the time comes, you can give each of the six squirrels a name and let them form a group to venture out on a mission.

In fact, several squirrels in later generations also tried to make anime, but the content was not very exciting, so there was no splash. Wang Manyin is different, there are many general plots of classic anime recorded in the book...... Like what the PAW team, the bear big bear two and so on.

If these classic characters are replaced by squirrels, it will not be inconsistent at all.

Originally, Wang Manyin thought that if he had the opportunity, he could register some famous foreign trademarks in later generations this time. Wait for the other party to spend a lot of money to buy it when you need it, and you may be able to earn millions by lying down.

Now, dismiss your thoughts. A registered trademark is 1,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, and 100,000 is 100,000 yuan. I really don't have so much money to toss for the time being, so it's better to continue to focus on my main business.

After more than an hour of queuing, the number of people still did not decrease.

Helpless, Wang Manyin had no choice but to let Xie Liansheng continue to line up, and walked towards a staff member who was hiding in the corner and smoking.

When he came to him, he handed a cigarette and said, "Comrade, I am from Qin Province, I came to register a trademark, and I want to ask you about something." Are there so many people here every day? ”

The other party glanced at the cigarette case with the word "Xiangshan", then reached out and took it and replied: "That's right, we have to deal with about three or four hundred pieces a day." From August last year to the present, more than 80,000 trademarks have been registered, of which more than 10,000 have been registered abroad. There are more than 3,000 ...... registered in your province alone."

Good guys, who said that people in this era don't care about trademarks. Listening to the tone of the other party, it is estimated that Coca-Cola, BMW, etc. have already registered.

Wang Manyin was completely out of ideas.

In fact, if you look carefully, there should be some fish that have slipped through the net, but Wang Manyin has no time and energy to waste on this.

After asking a few questions, he returned to the group.

As expected, when the staff left work, there were still fifty or sixty people in front of them.

The two had no choice but to return on motorcycles, planning to come over early tomorrow.

When they got to the repair department, they noticed motorcycles and bicycles parked in front of the door. The door was open, and Wang Aihua was smiling and talking to someone.

I probably heard the motorcycle, and several people inside walked out one after another.

"Brother Wang!"

"It's really Brother Wang, long time no see!"

Seeing Wang Manyin, several people came up excitedly.

"Liu Xiangyang, Shang Zhimin, Shen Jinqin, Wang Licheng......" Wang Manyin shouted out his name one by one, and he was also a little excited in his heart.

Although he hadn't seen him for a few years, he had a feeling of being in a different world.

Compared with the time when they were in Jar Village, the temperament of several people has changed a lot.

Especially Wang Licheng, who wears a suit and tie, knows that he is a rich man at a glance. At noon, Wang Manyin had heard Xie Liansheng introduce that what this person is doing now is the business of pouring approvals.

"Brother Wang, when I heard Xie Liansheng call at noon, I thought he was joking. You haven't changed much, you're still so strong! ”

"That's not it, Brother Wang was praised by the chain mouth as Han Shizhong's ......"

In just a few words, everyone recalled the eventful years of the year.

After chatting for a while, Wang Licheng urged again: "Let's go, let's go to the hotel and have a good chat." When I came, I had already booked a private room at the Qianmen Street Roast Duck Restaurant. Love flower sister-in-law and two children to go together! ”

"No, no, my children and I can eat at home, they have to go to school tomorrow, and they can't be too late." Wang Aihua resigned.

"It's okay, let's finish it early."

Wang Manyin originally planned to eat casually, but since they had booked it, then let it be as good as the host.

Seriously, he deserves to have a big meal.

When these people cut the queue in Jar Village, they didn't eat pheasants and rabbits caught by rhubarb.

Roast duck restaurant in a private room.

Wang Licheng picked up the wine bottles and poured them one by one, and then shouted and clinked glasses.

After drinking and filling everyone up, he found Wang Manyin again and said, "Brother Wang, we must drink a few more today." I remember that when I first went to Jar Village, you took us to the mountains to collect firewood. I broke my foot, and you carried me out. After all these years, I haven't forgotten! ”

"And that double drop handlebar, and I still have a chill down my back when I think about it. Stupid and daring, if I hadn't happened to meet a bone doctor, I guess I would have limped back to the city......"
