The rainy season returns home. Zhang Mei asked, "Why did you come back so late?" Mei Yu said, "Hey, after they finished drinking, they had to wash their feet, no, this is the time." Zhang Mei said: "It's not that you won't be allowed to drink, you can't drink less, and drinking too much will hurt your body." ”

Mei Yu said: "Hey, I got a good piece of information and a good business today. Zhang Mei asked, "What kind of business?" "Flipping houses, let's tell you this, is to buy a house at a low price, wait for the price of the house to rise, sell it at a high price, and earn the difference." Zhang Mei said: "I understand this, but you have to have spare money and long-term funds." ”

Mei Yu asked, "How much cash do we have now?" ”

"There are still more than 2 million in the account, but the manufacturer is urging the money, and I am ready to send them money tomorrow."

Mei Yu said: "Let's not exchange money first, let's go around Beicheng New District tomorrow to see if there is a suitable house and buy a few sets." ”

"What about sending money to the manufacturer?"

Mei Yu said, "I'll find a way again." Zhang Mei said: "If you want to buy a house, the house in the riverside garden community is the most worth buying, first, it is close to the city government; Second, it is close to the Mei River; Third, it is close to the most famous middle school in the city, which is the school district house. Moreover, the riverside garden has built more than 100 villas, which are finely decorated, only 8,001 square meters. ”

"Hey," said Meiyu, "how do you know so much about it?" Zhang Mei said: "Some time ago, my godsister, the second sister Liu Ping, wanted to buy a villa there, and I accompanied her to see it twice. Moreover, I was also tempted, I also wanted to buy a set, but in view of the shortage of funds, I didn't tell you. I heard that the boss of Riverside Garden is a woman, her husband is the secretary of the municipal party committee, she and her husband have been doing real estate for more than ten years, and have earned five or six billion, but unfortunately, her husband died in a car accident, so the assets of nearly six billion have become her own. ”

"How long has it been since her husband died?"

"It's been three or four years."

"She hasn't looked for her husband again?"

"I haven't looked for it, and no one knows what she's thinking."

"Oh." The rainy season is thoughtful.

"Hey, go to sleep, if you want to buy it, I'll accompany you tomorrow." However, it's best for us to see a few more neighborhoods in Beicheng New District. ”

"Okay," said Mei Yu, "I want to buy a few more." ”

Zhang Mei said: "Let's go there and talk about it." ”

The next day, the couple drove a car, in the Beicheng New District, and looked at several communities, but they were not very satisfied, and finally, they came to the Riverside Garden. As soon as I entered the sales office, a little girl greeted me. "Are you two looking at the house?" Zhang Mei said: "Yes. "This is the villa." The little girl introduced. Mei Yu looked at the model of the building for a while and asked, "How much is your villa per square meter?" The little girl replied: "Now to carry out activities, 8,000 yuan per square meter, or fine decoration." ”

"Let's go see the existing house," said Mei Yu. "Okay." The little girl said, "I'll take you in this kind of car for viewing houses." "This kind of car is like a small train, one by one. The two got into the car and arrived in a while.

The two looked at the three apartment types, and the little girl kept introducing them.

Mei Yu said: "How much discount can we get if we want to buy more sets?" "How many sets do you buy?" The little girl asked. "Five sets." Mei Yu said. Zhang Mei was startled, but didn't show it. Zhang Mei asked, "The little girl's surname is Liu, right?" The little girl said, "Yes, how do you know?" Zhang Mei said: "I've been here before. "Ao, you're Sister Zhang." Xiao Liu was very happy and said, "You want to buy five sets, you have to find our Mr. Zhao." "Okay, let's go see Mr. Zhao, you drive back first, let's take a walk and see the scenery." Xiao Liu said: "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you." Xiao Liu drove away.

Zhang Mei said, "You don't have a fever, do you?" How do you ask to buy five sets? Do you know how much a down payment is for five villas? Zhang Mei took out her mobile phone, clicked out the calculator, and began to calculate. Yes! Zhang Mei was surprised: "According to the down payment of 30%, it will cost 3.6 million, do you have so much money?" Yes, Mei Yu said, "I have a way, we can take out a loan, and the bank's money does not have to be used in vain." "I see where you can take out a loan, and the manufacturer's reminder can be tight."

When he arrived at the sales office, Xiao Liu said: "Mr. Zhao is in the office, let's go up now." When the three of them walked into Mr. Zhao's office, there was a woman sitting behind the wide desk, and when she raised her head, she was looking at Mei Yu, "Mei Yu!" "Dong Ju" and the two shouted each other's names almost at the same time. You may be seated, you may be seated. Dong Ju also sat on the sofa generously.

Zhang Mei felt embarrassed. Dong Ju said: "I heard that you are going to buy five villas, and you are making a fortune. Meiyu said: "Where to make a lot of money, just optimistic about your villa here." However, Mr. Zhao, if we buy five sets at once, you have to give a preferential price, right? "To be honest, our villa is about to raise the price, and we are going to mention 10,000. However, do you buy it, give a preferential price, six thousand one square meters. "Six thousand one square?". Even Xiao Liu was surprised. At this time, Xiao Liu came over and said, "What do you two drink, tea or coffee?" Mei Yu said, "Let's have two cups of coffee." ”

Mei Yu said: "Mr. Zhao is really refreshing, if it is 6,000 square meters, I will buy seven sets." Dong Ju said: "Whatever you want, you can buy a few sets." ”

Xiao Liu served coffee, and the two of them tasted coffee. Dong Ju said, "Will you pay today?" Mei Yu said, "Pay it today." "Okay, Xiao Liu, you can take them to the finance office to go through the formalities."

When he arrived at the finance room, Xiao Liu said: "Wait a minute, Accountant Wang will come over in a while" Xiao Liu left, and Mei Yu and Zhang Mei were left in the room. Zhang Mei said: "You are crazy, buy seven sets, how can we have so much cash?" Mei Yu said: "You calculate, how much is the down payment for seven sets?" Zhang Mei took out her mobile phone and calculated, "Ah, the down payment will cost three hundred thousand!" "How much money do you have here?" "Two million." "That's a difference of 1.78 million?" "Yes, the two manufacturers are still urging for money, and I promised to pay them tomorrow."

Meiyu took out her phone. "Hey, Liu Ming? I'm Meiyu, and I urgently need 1.8 million now, can you solve it for me? Liu Ming: "Do you need it now?" Meiyu: "Yes, it needs now." Liu Ming: "How long will it take?" Rainy season: "One month." Liu Ming: "Okay, you send the account name, card number, and opening bank." Mei Yu handed the phone to Zhang Mei and said;" Send him the account name, card number, and opening bank. ”

About ten minutes later, Zhang Mei's mobile phone received a text message and received a transfer of 1.8 million yuan from Liu Ming. Zhang Mei said: "The money has been transferred, 1.8 million. However, I always feel unsteady in my heart, no, let's buy a few fewer sets, and the pressure is less. Mei Yu said: "Don't say anything, just buy seven sets, and I'll explain to you when I go back." ”

Xiao Liu and Accountant Wang both returned, and they went into the finance room to make a down payment. Accountant Wang handed Zhang Mei a piece of paper and said, "The procedures required for the loan are all on it, today is Tuesday, you prepare the procedures on Thursday, and let's go to the bank together." ”

Mei Yu and Zhang Mei returned home, and the nanny had just finished frying the vegetables. Mei Yu said, "Come, let's have a glass of wine and congratulate you." Zhang Mei said: "What is there to congratulate, how much pressure have we added now?" Mei Yu took a bottle of wine and said, "Even if you can't see through the account, these seven villas, according to their price of 8,000 yuan per square meter, we can earn 2,000 yuan per square meter, you can't figure out this account?" ”

Zhang Mei smiled and said: "Okay, even if you do a good business, then let's sell two sets to reduce the pressure on funds." Mei Yu said: "Just buy it and sell it, let Dong Ju think of us?" Don't worry, madam, this villa will definitely make a lot of money, and it will be sold when it is 20,000 square meters. Zhang Mei said: "Then what will you take to send money to the manufacturer tomorrow?" Meiyu put down the bottle, picked up the phone, and started to make calls. Yuming, have you eaten? Wang Yuming: "I'm about to eat." Mei Yu: "Yuming, I'm in a hurry to use some money tomorrow, can you help raise some?" Wang Yuming: "How much do you use?" Rainy season: "One million." Wang Yuming: "How long does it take?" Rainy season: "Twenty days." Wang Yuming: "Twenty days, I can't do it this time, can I do it in half a month?" Meiyu: "Half a month is fine." Wang Yuming: "That's okay, I'll turn it around for you tomorrow." ”

Meiyu turned on the hands-free, and Zhang Mei could hear it clearly. Mei Yu said: "How about it, you will remit this million to the manufacturer tomorrow." Zhang Mei said: "You are demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, what will you do in half a month?" Mei Yu said: "I have my own way, let's owe 2.8 million yuan now, tomorrow I will find my classmate Zhao Yuwei, who is the director of the loan department of CCB, and ask him to borrow 3 million for one year." ”

Zhang Mei said: "Are you so sure that he will lend you money? Mei Yu said, "We can mortgage part of the property." Zhang Mei said: "No matter what, I think our steps are too big." Mei Yu said, "If you believe in my vision, you won't be wrong." ”

Mei Yu walked into the office of the wholesale department, Zhang Mei was reading the report, saw Mei Yu come in, and said: "Xu Yanping came just now, she said that the new factory just built by the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, the garment accessories factory, was on fire, and the accessories factory was burned to the ground." The Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory also went bankrupt, owing more than 20 million to the external account, and the Bank of China alone owed more than 6 million. The procuratorate wanted to arrest Secretary Chen, but the secretary went crazy, and when he got up in the morning and went to the intersection to direct traffic, the procuratorate did not arrest him. I think the secretary is quite pitiful, and we will go and see him when we have time. ”

Mei Yu said: "The secretary may be pretending to be crazy, he is crazy, and the leaders see him pitiful, so they let him go." You can go and see him, I can't go, how can I say that I went, robbed him of two businesses, you go, push these things on me. ”

Zhang Mei sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect the secretary to reach such a point. Zhang Meijing shed tears, and she wiped them away with her hands. Mei Yu said: "The bankruptcy of the chrysanthemum fashion factory is inevitable, the secretary is nepotistic, so happy, improper employment, blind development. These people he uses know how to make money and benefit himself. Zhang Mei said: "Don't say it, people are crazy, it's pitiful, I'll go to see him tomorrow, and I want me to say, you have to go too, after all, he has kindness to both of us." Mei Yu said, "Okay, then let's go see him together tomorrow." ”

Mei Yu and Zhang Mei went to see the secretary, and Zhang Mei bought a lot of supplements.

When I returned to the wholesale department, Mei Yu was drinking tea and thinking about something. Zhang Mei asked, "What are you thinking about?" Mei Yu said: "Just now I met Secretary Jin of the office, he said that he was going to sell the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, and he said that he would sell it for five million, I was thinking, can we buy it?" The Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory covers an area of 30 acres, as well as the plant, equipment, clothing of the finished product warehouse, and cloth of the material warehouse, which ......"

Zhang Mei said: "You still want to buy, five million, do you have it?" Meiyu, we can't owe too much debt, if it goes on like this, once the capital chain is broken, it is very dangerous, I don't agree to buy Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory. ”

Mei Yu said: "I'm just thinking about it, see if you're in a hurry." ”

Zhang Mei said: "There is no need to think about this, the chrysanthemum fashion factory resolutely cannot be bought, we already have wool retail stores, wool wholesale department, and then to engage in garment factories, capital and energy are problems." Meiyu, you listen to me, let's do a good job in wool wholesale and retail, and if you have spare money, you can go to speculate on real estate, isn't this very good? I don't know what you think, you want to go to a garment factory? ”

Mei Yu thought to himself: If you can't buy it openly, then buy it from Zhang Mei, he made up his mind. He knew that Zhang Mei had a temper, and the eight horses couldn't pull it back. He decided to do a prelude. As long as the chrysanthemum is sent to the fashion factory to buy it, Zhang Mei will know, and she can't help it. He decided to talk to Secretary Jin tomorrow to understand the situation.

It was gray, and Meiyu drove towards the office. Entering Secretary Jin's office, Secretary Jin was drinking tea, saw Mei Yu, and said with a smile: "Xiaomei, why do you have time to come to me?" Mei Yu said, "Let's take a look at the old leader." Secretary Jin poured a cup of tea for Mei Yu, and then said: "It's a pity that the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory closed down, and now Secretary Chen is also crazy, alas! Secretary Jin sighed. Mei Yu said: "I went to see him yesterday. Secretary Jin's eyes widened: "He's really crazy?" "It's crazy," said Mei Yu, "very sick." Mei Yu knew in his heart that when he went to see Secretary Chen yesterday, Secretary Chen was fine, he knew that Secretary Chen was pretending to be crazy, but Secretary Chen was kind to him, and it was necessary for him to help Secretary Chen pretend to be crazy, so he said so.

"It's a pity, an entrepreneur, it's ruined like this." Secretary Jin said. Mei Yu said: "Secretary Jin is almost sixty, right?" "Fifty-nine," Secretary Jin said, "I will retire next year." Mei Yu said: "The office plans to sell the chrysanthemum fashion factory?" Secretary Jin said: "What if you don't sell it?" Those who ask for money sit here every day. Mei Yu said, "How much does the office plan to sell?" Secretary Jin stretched out a hand and said, "Five million." Mei Yu said, "Do you want to buy anything now?" ”

Secretary Jin said: "There are people who come to inquire, but they are too expensive. Mei Yu said, "How much can you press if I want to buy it?" Secretary Jin said: "Five million, this is a matter decided at the meeting, and it cannot be changed." Mei Yu said: "Okay, I'm leaving, and I'll stop by to visit the old leader." Secretary Jin sent him out.

Meiyu drove the car to a secluded place and called Dongju. "Dong Ju, I urgently need a sum of money now." Dong Ju: "How much?" Rainy season: "Three million." Dong Ju: "You send the account name, card number, and opening bank to my mobile phone, and I will ask the accountant to transfer money to you." Meiyu sent it over, and half an hour later, Meiyu received a text message, and Dong Ju transferred him three million.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Meiyu drove the car and came to Secretary Jin's house.

Secretary Jin was watching TV, and when he saw the rainy season, he was busy sitting and making tea. Mei Yu sat down, and the two chatted for a while, and then Mei Yu said: "I heard that Secretary Jin's daughter is studying in the United States, and the cost must be very large, right?" "Yes," Secretary Jin said, "all these years of savings have been given to her to study." "Oh, that's right," Mei Yu took out a bank card and put it on the coffee table, and said, "This is 500,000 yuan, let's make some supplements for your daughter." Secretary Jin hurriedly said: "How can this be, it is not easy for you to make money." Mei Yu said: "Let's be honest, Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, I want to buy it, and I ask Secretary Jin to help me more." ”

"How can this be, how can this be?"

Mei Yu got up to say goodbye, and when Secretary Jin arrived at the gate, Mei Yu had already gotten into the car, and Mei Yu said, "Secretary Jin, go back, I'm leaving." ”

On the third day, Secretary Jin called Meiyu and said that let Meiyu pass, Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, and Erbaiwu made a deal.

Mei Yu rushed to the office, paid the money, and completed the formalities.

Seven or eight days later, Mei Yu and Zhang Mei were sitting in the office, and Director Wang of Hongyun Garment Factory walked in. Zhang Mei said: "Director Wang, this time you are sending money?" "The money is here, this time it's really money." Director Wang sat down on the sofa as he spoke, and then said: "Mr. Mei, I am a happy person, I have something to say, I want to rent a chrysanthemum fashion factory, you can make a price." Zhang Mei was confused.

Mei Yu said: "Since Director Wang is happy, I am also happy, nine hundred thousand a year." ”

"800,000 deals." Director Wang said: "Refreshing or not? ”

Mei Yu said: "This 800,000 yuan, it's a little lower, how about picking up Wu Wan?" ”

Director Wang said: "Oh, you are such a big boss, there is still a difference of 50,000 yuan, 800,000 yuan, I will pay it in half a year, and I will bring money to sign the agreement tomorrow." ”

"Okay," said Mei Yu, "I'll let you be so happy." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll come over tomorrow." Director Wang said and went downstairs and left.

Zhang Mei's eyes widened and asked Mei Yu, "What's the matter?" ”

Mei Yu smiled and said, "I bought the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory." ”

"Okay, you Meiyu, you dare to hide such a big thing from me, how much did you buy it?"

"Two and a half million."

"Where does the money come from?"

"I borrowed it from a friend in Guanglin."

"How much is the interest?"

"I didn't say interest, I just said that I would use it first."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't I tell you, you don't agree."

Zhang Mei took a few sips of water and said, "Why did you buy it at such a low price?" ”

"I sent 500,000 to Secretary Jin."

"Speaking of which, it's good business, but you shouldn't hide it from me."

Mei Yu said: "Three million, rent 800,000 yuan a year, and you can pay back the cost in four years." ”

Zhang Mei said, "Let's go, drive me there." ”

"Where to go?"

"Go see your masterpiece and go to the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory."

"Now?"

"Now."

The two came to the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, and Zhang Mei felt so kind. For a few years, Zhang Mei often dreamed of being in the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory.

They entered the supply and marketing department, and Zhang Mei saw the desk she was using, but the drawer was empty.

Zhang Mei said: "I came to this factory at the age of 17, when I was a village girl, but I didn't expect that now I am the owner of this factory. ”

Zhang Mei went to the flower cellar to pick a few pots of flowers, and Meiyu loaded them into the car.

"Let's go to that familiar little restaurant and have a glass of wine to celebrate."

"You're not angry?" Mei Yu dared to ask.

"What are you angry about? I'm going to celebrate. But I warn you, there won't be a next time."

"Okay." Mei Yu agreed, came to the familiar small restaurant, Mei Yu took a bottle of wine from the car,

Found a single room.

The proprietress said: "I haven't seen her for a few years, Xiaomei is fat, and Zhang Mei is younger." ”

Zhang Mei said with a smile; "You're going to get a little younger."

The two sat down, and Zhang Mei said, "One person orders two dishes, you can order first." "The rainy season ordered a plate of tripe and a plate of know. Zhang Mei ordered two plates of vegetarian dishes.

Zhang Mei pointed to the bottle of wine and said, "Let's drink a bottle of wine today." ”

Meiyu asked, "Are you really not angry?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "You, make up for it." ”

"However, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell me." The two of them poured a full glass of wine, and Zhang Mei raised her glass, "Come, celebrate our success, cheers." The two of them drank it all.

Zhang Mei said: "The seven villas are all finely decorated, and they have been decorated for more than half a year. I think, let's pick a set and move in. Now this house is for my sister Zhang Wei to live in, and she still rents a house to live in. Mei Yu said, "You can just look at it." It is very good for Zhang Wei to live, the house is very close to the retail store, and it is convenient for her to commute to work. ”

Zhang Mei said: "I don't want those furniture and electrical appliances, let's buy new ones." Mei Yu said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

After a month, all the furniture, electrical appliances and other utensils in the villa were purchased, and Meiyu's family moved over.

Zhang Mei is very sociable, worships a group of godsisters, and wants to go to Zhang Mei's house to warm the pot. On Sunday, it came. They sat and chatted in the living room, and several sisters gave red envelopes.

The eldest sister Zhang Jie, in the medical department of the Municipal People's Hospital, she is also sociable and loves to dance; The eldest brother-in-law, Liu Yulin, who is the director of the police station in the Public Security Bureau, sits on the sofa very upright, talking and drinking tea. The second sister, Liu Ping, is the section chief of the Finance Bureau, tall and beautiful; The second brother-in-law, Zhao Mingxiu, served as the section chief of the drug testing institute. Zhang Mei is the third. The fourth sister, He Li, who is in business, opened a hot pot restaurant and a high-end restaurant, this high-end hotel is not far from Zhang Mei's house, and today's wine game is booked in He Li's high-end restaurant; The fourth brother-in-law, Zhang Hai, works in the real estate bureau. The fifth sister Liu Yanping is in the clothing business; The fifth brother-in-law set up a picking garden. They sat on the sofa and said that Zhang Mei's villa was a good one. They are also envious.

Then they started chatting, and the men's topics were nothing more than houses, cars, political current affairs; The topics of women are children, clothing, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Finally, when the drinking party began, some of them were hungry.

Arrange your seats in order. Meiyu was the main escort and proposed three drinks first. Then Zhang Mei proposed, Zhang Mei said: "If you want to drink well, first put the deputy master down." The crowd laughed. Zhang Mei also proposed three wines. Then the sisters proposed in order. After all the proposals, everyone was a little drunk.

The fourth sister, He Li, said: "Let's play a game, whoever wants to say the words 'drink' and 'wine' will be punished for drinking." Starting with He Li, He Li said to her eldest brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, how to proceed next?" The eldest brother-in-law didn't hesitate: "Keep drinking." He Li said: "Punish a glass of wine." Everyone laughed.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was drunk, so they went to the song hall to sing, and they sang until six o'clock in the evening.

Mei Yu and Zhang Mei returned home. Zhang Mei said: "Hey, I'm tired. ”

Zhang Mei said: "I went to the place where Lotus lived that day, and her place was so good. ”

Mei Yu asked, "Which lotus?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "It's the Chen lotus in our village." She lives by the Mei River, four thatched houses, a single courtyard, there are rockeries in the courtyard, the water is murmuring, and she raises a lot of flowers; She believes in Buddhism, and the main house is a Buddhist hall; She's so quiet there, you have nothing to do to go and see. ”

"Hey, I haven't seen a lotus flower for many years, okay, I'll go to her when I have time."

Zhang Mei mentioned the lotus, and Meiyu felt a little sorry for the lotus.

After a few days, the rainy season was idle, and when he remembered the lotus, he walked towards the place where the lotus lived. It's easy to find, there are only a few thatched huts, and the rest are all buildings. The door was closed, and Meiyu rang the doorbell, and then someone opened the door, a woman in a robe, Meiyu almost didn't recognize it. "Brother, why are you here, come in." Mei Yu then agreed to come in. As Zhang Mei said, facing the gate is a rockery, which is covered with grass and gurgling water; The courtyard is full of flowers of various colors, and there is a grape trellis.

Entering the door, at noon is the Buddha Hall, the Westinghouse is the place to drink tea, and when I enter the Westinghouse, the lotus makes Meiyu sit, and Meiyu sits on the sofa. The lotus said: "Brother, you sit, I'll make tea for you to drink." "There is a set of tea sets, a purple clay pot, and a few small teacups on the coffee table.

Lotus skillfully brews tea. Mei Yu said, "This house is yours?" The lotus said, "Yes." Mei Yu said, "Your husband doesn't live here?" The lotus said, "Leave, he has a son in charge."

The lotus made tea, poured a cup, and took a sip of the plum rain. "Good tea, it's Longjing, right?" "Brother, it's really an expert, I tasted it in one bite, this is Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, I haven't used pesticides, 1,400 yuan a catty." Mei Yu smiled and said, "You drink such good tea? "These are all sent by the senior brothers, they often come to drink tea and eat, and every time they come, they bring some rice, noodles, peanut oil, tea, and all kinds of vegetables, and they can't eat these things. Then I drank tea, ate here, listened to the Dharma, and meditated. {Author's note: In the Buddhist dojo, both men and women are called senior brothers}, and Zhang Mei often came to drink tea, eat, listen to the Dharma, and meditate. ”

Mei Yu said, "Your robe is made of coarse cloth, isn't it?" "Brother is really good eyesight, this is pure cotton."

"If you have time, come to me and let Zhang Mei choose two good materials for you."

"Oh," Lotus smiled, "we meditators don't pay attention to what we wear. ”

They chatted a little more, and Mei Yu took her leave and went back to the store.
