Guo Wanhua still obeyed Li Yunhai and slowly took off her stockings.

The black glass stockings slowly rolled down her white jade hands.

A piece of snow-white skin appeared in front of Li Yunhai.

Her skin is whiter than the crystal lamp above her head!

Guo Wanhua's legs are slender and round, like carved from white jade, delicate and smooth, giving people a sense of warmth.

When the stockings were removed, a pair of long, moist and well-proportioned legs were displayed in front of Li Yunhai.

He looked at her jade feet, and there were no blisters, but the feet were a little red.

Guo Wanhua usually has a car to travel when she goes out, but today she accompanied Li Yunhai all day, the skin on the soles of her feet is too delicate, and it is natural for her to turn red after walking so many steps suddenly.

"You've got to get some rest." Li Yunhai smiled, "It seems to be about to break the skin." ”

"Am I being too squeamish?"

"It's not squeamish, it's that we've walked too much today. The stockings are too thin, why don't you try them in a pair of soft and thick socks? ”

"I've never worn thick socks, I haven't bought them."

"I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

"Yunhai, which shopping mall do you think is suitable?"

"I think it's all good, of course, the best is the Huacheng Department Store."

"Well, I also think that location is the best, but the rent of 1 million, more than 83,000 a month, is it too expensive?"

"But the department store has a lot of traffic, so many people come into the store every day, and sell a few more machines every month, and the rent is earned."

"So, you still want to rent the first floor of Guangbai?"

"Let's take a look! The price can be negotiated, if it can be reduced to 300,000 or 400,000, then it can be considered. I'll look for it tomorrow, and if there is a store for sale, I'll spend money to buy two townhouses. ”

"Otherwise, we can talk to the landlords of those shops, and as long as they are willing to sell, we can buy them for a little more. There are so many shops on Beijin Road, there are always people who want to sell them, right? ”

"So, there's always a way. Put your stockings on, don't catch a cold. ”

"It's not cold." Guo Wanhua saw that he had been staring at his legs, so she knew that her legs were very attractive, and said with a smile, "Compared with my legs and Linzhi's, who is better-looking?" ”

"It's all good-looking." Li Yunhai laughed.

Late at night, Guo Wanhua got up and said, "I'm going home." They were still waiting outside in the car. ”

"Good. Tomorrow you don't go, I'll look for it again. ”

"It's okay, you can buy me a pair of thicker socks to wear."

Li Yunhai sent her into the car and closed the door tightly.

He turned around and came back to see the stockings in the corner of the couch.

Guo Wanhua doesn't remember taking it away.

Li Yunhai picked it up, and there seemed to be still the body fragrance on Guo Wanhua's body on the stockings.

He put the stockings in the washing machine along with the clothes he had changed into and washed them.

The phone rang suddenly.

Li Yunhai answered the phone.

Lin Zhi's gentle voice came: "Yunhai, you are back, I called before, but no one answered." ”

"Sister Guo and I went out for a day, and we just came home not long ago."

"Have you found the right store?"

"No, we want to work with department stores, but the rent they offer is scary."

"How expensive is that?"

"300 square meters, 1 million a year."

"That's expensive enough! I'll be able to complete the personnel filing tomorrow, will I still come to you? ”

"If you don't like the hard work back and forth, you can come!"

"Yunhai, how many days will it take you to come back?"

"I don't know now, since I'm here, I have to arrange things here before I can go home."

"Okay, then you get some rest early."

"You're home alone, and you're bored?"

"I'm not alone! I called Lin Xin over to accompany me. ”

"You're smart! Oh well, good night. ”

"Good night, sea of clouds."

Li Yunhai put down the phone and came to the second floor to rest.

The next day, Li Yunhai did not invite Guo Wanhua, but came to Beijin Road early alone.

He selected a few storefronts and then looked for the owner of the shop through the tenants of the storefront.

The people who do business are very shrewd, and when they heard him say that they were going to find a landlord to prevent someone from bidding maliciously to drive him away, they said that the landlord was not in Huacheng.

Some stores are asking people to do things, and they don't know what to ask.

The neighborhood around Beijin Road is full of arcade-style buildings.

The arcade is mainly composed of three sections, such as the roof, the building body and the bottom, and the upstairs is inhabited, moisture-proof and waterproof; The corridor on the first floor is also rainproof and sunshade for pedestrians, so that they do not sweat in the summer and do not wet in the rain.

In the past, Huacheng had the famous Thirteen Banks, which were specialized in foreign trade, and were designated by the Qing government to specialize in foreign trade.

Tens of thousands of workshops and hundreds of thousands of workers gathered around the Thirteen Lines, and there were many wealthy merchants, who were as famous as Jin merchants and Hui merchants. There have been two former richest men in the world in the past few decades, among which Wu Bingjian is also the stepfather of Forbes.

The property rights of the arcade are complex, and there are private houses, public houses, and overseas Chinese houses.

Li Yunhai walked into a shop again, this time he learned to be obedient, went in with a briefcase, and asked in a tone, "Is your landlord here?" ”

This shop sells affordable clothing, and the area is relatively large, which should be more than 200 square meters.

There were a few clerks in the shop, all young girls, and one of them looked at him and asked, "What are you looking for a landlord for?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "I am from the Municipal Affairs Bureau, and I am here to inspect the work. ”

When the young woman saw that he was arrogant and had a leadership demeanor, she believed it and said: "The landlord is an overseas Chinese, and he does not live in China." ”

Li Yunhai asked her, does she have the contact number of the landlord? He also emphasized that the things I want to do are very important, and the arcade here needs to contact the landlord to identify the cultural relics.

The young woman really had the contact information of the landlord, took out a phone book, and flipped to one of the pages.

Li Yunhai took a pen and paper and copied it down.

As he copied it, he asked, "Who is your shopkeeper?" ”

The young woman smiled: "I'm the boss!" ”

"Oh, you're the boss, how long does the lease of the shop expire?"

"More than two months to go!"

"When you renew the lease, the landlord won't come back?"

"He entrusted it to his relatives in China."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Li Yunhai got the information he wanted, came out to find the public phone, and first asked if the boss could make an international call? How much is a minute?

The boss said that you can make an international call, 25 yuan a minute.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, your phone bill here is really expensive, only 18 yuan a minute in Xizhou.

But he didn't care about the money, so he dialed the phone number he had just copied.

This is a Singapore phone number.

Both Singapore and Malaysia belong to Zone 8 and there is basically no time difference.

After the phone was connected, a woman's voice came from the other side: "Hello? ”

Li Yunhai first greeted in English and asked if the other party was the owner of a building with a house number on Beijin Road in Huacheng.

As soon as the other party heard that it was from China, he changed to Mandarin and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Li Yunhai said that he wanted to buy her family's arcade.

The woman said that it was handed down from my ancestors, and I couldn't sell it.

Li Yunhai said that you are all abroad, and you have to manage domestic real estate, which is inconvenient, or you can come up with a suitable price, right?

The woman thought for a moment and said, "$1 million, can you afford it?" ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, I'm afraid that if you don't make a price, you will have a way to make a price.

1 million US dollars, even according to the official exchange rate, almost reached 3 million yuan, which was definitely a lot of money in China at that time.

Even abroad, millionaires are considered rich.

In 1982, the first issue of the Forbes 400 richest list was released, with an amount of 100 million US dollars, equivalent to 280 million yuan, and the richest man in the United States at that time was only 2 billion US dollars.

And in 1985, the first place on the Forbes rice list of the richest people became Sam, who had a fortune of $50 billion. In the same year, the king of the boat in Xiangjiang had a fortune of 40 billion.

Li Yunhai heard the other party's price of $1 million, so he said boldly: "Yes, can you come back and sign the real estate transfer procedures?" ”

The other party was obviously stunned.

The price of $1 million just now was just casually remarked, and in her opinion, the voice on the phone sounded like a young man, and it was impossible to pay $1 million to buy an old house anyway.

Although she doesn't live in China, she also knows that the housing price in Huacheng is less than 1,000 yuan per square meter, and her house is only three floors, each floor is 230 square meters, a total of 690 square meters, even if it is sold for 1,000 yuan per square meter, it is only 690,000 yuan.

And the price she offered was obviously several times the actual value of this!

"Who are you? Serious or joking? The woman obviously didn't quite believe Li Yunhai's words.

"My name is Li Yunhai. I have taken a fancy to your house, please take the time to come back and go through the transfer procedures, right? ”

"$1 million? Are you sure? ”

"If you can have less, then I'd be happy."

"Huh! I don't sell it if it's less! ”

"So, ah, $1 million, I bought it. Whether you want dollars or yuan, I can give it to you. ”

"Oh? Who are you? I've got to make sure you're not fooling me. ”

"I am the boss of Xizhou Sihai Group, if you pay attention to domestic current affairs, you must have heard of our company. If you haven't heard of it, you can ask your relatives and friends back home. ”

"Sihai Group? Well, let's do it, I'm just going back to China to worship my ancestors, so let's make an appointment to meet? ”

"Anytime."

"Okay, I'll book a ticket for tomorrow. I'll contact you again when I get to Huacheng, what's your phone number? ”

Li Yunhai left Huacheng's phone number and address to her, and also left the phone number of Guo Wanhua's house to the other party.

"OK, goodbye then."

Li Yunhai hung up the phone, and when he calculated the phone bill, it cost more than 100.

The reason why he likes this arcade is because this house retains the original characteristics of the era and looks very well maintained. In addition, the façade on the first floor is very large, which can be used to open a store, and the second and third floors can be cleaned up and used as a branch office.

The other shops are either too small or have more than two floors that are particularly dilapidated.

To buy a small shop, he needs to buy two or three townhouses at the same time, which is not ordinarily difficult.

Li Yunhai paid the phone bill, and used the same method to go to several other relatively large stores, ask for the contact information of the landlord, and then contact the other party.

He didn't know who was going to sell the properties, so he had to cast a wide net.

Even if they were all willing to sell, he could afford it.

What disappointed him was that except for the overseas Chinese, the other landlords were either absent, or public housing, or unwilling to sell.

He was busy all day, and found a nearby restaurant for dinner.

After eating, he walked back, and when he passed a shopping mall, he thought of something and walked in.

He went straight to the counter selling socks.

"Comrade, would you like to buy socks?" The waiter here is very welcoming.

"yes, I'll look at the style."

"Comrade, the men's socks are all over there. It's all women's socks here. ”

"I'm just going to buy women's socks. Is there anything better? ”

"Yes. These are the most fashionable styles, pure cotton is breathable and soft. ”

The salesman took out a few socks and handed them to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai shook his socks and asked if there was anything better? Price is not an issue.

The salesperson took out another type of sock and said it was the most expensive sock in the store, five dollars a pair.

A woman next to her was also picking out socks, and when she heard the price, she sighed twice: "A pair of socks sells for five yuan?" Isn't this a money grab? ”

The salesman smiled: "Comrade, you can't say that, there are thousands of dollars a piece of clothes, and there are also a few dollars a piece, it depends on what you want to buy?" It also depends on how thick the money is in the wallet, don't you say? ”

Li Yunhai compared several types of socks and said, "This kind of five yuan a pair, give me a pair of each color." ”

These socks come in six colors, and they come with different embroideries, which are very beautiful.

The female customer next to her sighed: "There are really people who buy such expensive socks!" It's six pairs when you buy it! 30 bucks! How precious are those feet? ”

Of course, Li Yunhai would not have the same knowledge as her, so he took out the money to pay.

He had several bundles of money in his briefcase, and he took out one bundle and pulled out three large solidarity sheets.

Seeing that he had so much money, the female customer stuck out her tongue and stopped saying expensive things.

Li Yunhai paid the bill and put the socks in his briefcase.

He walked out of the mall and saw someone selling rock sugar gourds next to him, so he bought two strings, took the paper bag, and put it in the briefcase.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when I got home.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard the phone ringing non-stop.

He put down his briefcase and picked up the phone.

Guo Wanhua's slightly resentful voice came: "Yunhai, where did you run this day?" I've looked for you several times and you're not home. ”

"Sister Guo, I went to Beijin Road to see the façade."

"Why don't you call me along?"

"Your feet hurt, let you rest for a day."

"Alas! I know your heart hurts, but I also have to do things, I can't be like a canary, right? How's your search? ”

"I contacted an overseas Chinese, and I don't know if I can make a deal."

"Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it."

"What's the plan for the evening?"

"Watch TV, sleep."

"Come to my house, I have videos here to watch, all of which are films brought from Xiangjiang."

In 1985, the cameras and video recorders of the "Big Half" videotape began to enter China's wealthy families, and it was fashionable for those who got married, birthdays, and even went on outings accompanied by cameras.

Li Yunhai smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for it." ”

"Well, I'll wait for you." Guo Wanhua's voice was sweet and greasy, as if she had added too much sugar.

Li Yunhai ended the call, and then called Lin Zhi.

When he negotiated with several department stores yesterday, he left phone numbers from Xizhou and Huacheng.

But he wasn't home all day, and even if someone called, he wouldn't be able to get it.

So he wanted to ask Lin Zhi if he had a phone call to find him.

Lin Zhi said that there was no phone number from him, and reported to him the situation of the company in the past two days.

"Yunhai, I feel that the current company is still a plate of scattered sand, but there is no cohesion, and everyone's hearts are not aligned."

"That's for sure, the company has just been formed, and the employees are not familiar with each other, so it needs a run-in period."

"Do you think about how to solve this matter? This is a big deal for the company. ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm done here!"

"Yunhai, I miss you. I want to go to you, but such a big company, if we all leave, it's not good, I'm staring here, and they don't dare to be lazy. ”

"If a company needs to be watched by the boss lady to function, it can also be dissolved."

"Huh?"

"Now that the company is just starting to build, there are a lot of problems, and you can keep an eye on it. In the future, I will improve the company's articles of association system, and everyone will be able to perform their own duties and run freely. ”

The two chatted for a while, and unconsciously chatted for half an hour before hanging up.

Li Yunhai cleaned up and came to Guo Wanhua's house.

The servant opened the door and invited him in, and said with a smile: "Madame has long ordered me to come to the door and wait for Mr., but Mr. has just arrived." Madame asked more than a dozen times inside. ”

Li Yunhai smiled dumbly.

Guo Wanhua didn't wear shoes, sat barefoot on the sofa, saw him walk into the living room, and said coquettishly: "I thought you weren't coming!" ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "I talked to Lin Zhi on the phone, and it took a long time to talk about it. ”

Guo Wanhua pursed her lips and smiled, came to the TV cabinet in slippers, brushed her long hair behind her ears, opened the glass cabinet door, and said, "Come and choose a video to watch!" ”

Li Yunhai walked over, squatted beside her, looked at the video tape inside, and said, "Blood Hibiscus? I haven't seen this movie, so I'll just watch this. ”

"It's an old movie, 78 years old."

"You've seen it, right? Why not get another one? ”

"I haven't seen it either, these tapes were brought by Meilin, she's bored when she's playing here. How can I usually have time to watch videos with her? ”

"Then look at this."

Guo Wanhua took out the video tape and put it in the video camera.

Although this movie is an old film, it is a very classic martial arts film, from beginning to end.

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua sat down to watch the movie.

"Sister Guo, your feet are better, right?"

"Much better. You see. ”

Guo Wanhua stretched out her smooth feet to him.

The little feet that are white and red are clearly seductive.

Li Yunhai sighed.

He opened his briefcase, took out the six pairs of socks he had newly bought, as well as the pair of stockings that Guo Wanhua had left at his house last night, and handed them to Guo Wanhua.

"I've washed the stockings."

Guo Wanhua took it and said with a smile: "You have a heart, and you really bought me socks!" These socks are very comfortable to the touch! The soles of the socks are also thick. The flowers on this are also beautiful, and I like it very much. Thank you. ”

Li Yunhai said a few pairs of socks, and he didn't need to thank him.

The two discuss the plot while watching.

Li Yunhai asked: "How is the box office situation of Xiangjiang's theaters this year?" ”

"Huh?"

"How are the box office results of the movies produced by Yicheng Pictures?"

"I didn't pay much attention either. It doesn't seem to be very good, the highest-grossing movies are all from Golden Harvest. ”

"That's right, as I told you, Yicheng Pictures has gone downhill."

Guo Wanhua was stunned and said, "What you said makes sense. ”

She picked up the phone next to her and dialed a number.

The phone was connected, and Guo Wanhua said, "Sister, I'm looking for Wan Zhao." I have something very important to look for him. Please ask him to answer the phone! ”

A very impatient voice came from there: "How many times have I told you, my lord is not in good health and needs more bed rest." Don't bother him if you have nothing to do! ”

"Sister, I'll just say a few words! I'm his wife! ”

"Huh! I'm still his meta match! You're the fifth! ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Guo Wanhua bit her lip and said to Li Yunhai: "Look, that big lady, hang up my phone again." Ever since she had been living with her children, I had lost the right to talk to the old man. ”

Li Yunhai didn't know what to say, and asked, "Then do you want to go back?" ”

"What are you going to do? Are you angry with them? Hum! The old man is now lying in bed every day, and there are two special nurses to take care of him, and even activities at home have to be allowed by the eldest wife! ”

"Aren't you under house arrest by that big lady?"

"Almost!" Guo Wanhua said, "I'll fight again tomorrow!" Merlin will be home tomorrow and I'll call her. ”

A doorbell rings outside.

After the maid checked it, he came in and reported: "Madam, it's Mr. Xu Baoxiang who is here." ”

Guo Wanhua waved her hand: "I don't see." ”

The servant agreed and went out to reply to Xu Baoxiang.

Li Yunhai smiled: "He's pestering you." ”

"He didn't have any good intentions." Guo Wanhua smiled helplessly.

The servant came in again, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Xu to Madame." ”

Guo Wanhua said: "Just throw it away!" ”

The servant said, "There is also a card in it, and he said that please Madame must see the contents of the card." ”

Guo Wanhua wanted to say that she didn't need to look at it, but after thinking about it, she asked the maid to hand it over.

She took the card and saw the words written on it, and couldn't help but lose her face.

"Yunhai, look at this." She handed the card to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai took it and saw that it was written in traditional Chinese characters:

"Mrs. Chen, at seven o'clock tomorrow night, Panxi Restaurant, see you or leave."

"It's nothing! He just wants to ask you out, why don't you just go? ”

"Look down again."

Li Yunhai looked at the inscription below, and wrote: "Yinghua Girls' School Secondary 4".

"What does that mean?" Li Yunhai asked puzzled.

"Mei Lin studied at Yinghua Girls' School in Xiangjiang, and now she is in Form 4."

"Oh? So what is Xu Baoxiang's intention in writing such a sentence? ”

"He threatened me with Merlin yesterday."

"Then this is a blatant attempt to threaten you?"

"Yes, Yunhai, what do you say I should do?"

"Tomorrow night, I'll go with you!"

The first is to ask for a monthly pass.
