"Mr. Song, I have inquired about it. The newspaper belongs to the Second Lighting Bureau. The newspaper actually agrees to sell the yard, but there are two requirements."

The Second Light Industry Bureau, the full name is the Second Light Industry Bureau, is a government department with a very long history, and it was once glorious.

The superior department of the Second Light and Light Bureau is the Second Light and Light Ministry, but in 1970 the Second Light and Light Ministry was merged into the Ministry of Light Industry. However, due to management considerations, the Second Light and Light Bureau under its branches basically remained the same, except that the mother-in-law above was changed.

In later generations, the local Second Lighting Bureau was gradually merged into the Light Industry Bureau. By the late 1990s, the Second Lighting Bureau had basically disappeared. Many young people in later generations may have never heard of the name of the Second Lighting Bureau. But here

The second light situation of the times is still a serious overall situation.

"What request?"

"First, the company set a price, and we will only sell it if it costs 15,000." Yue Laoer raised a finger and said.

"15,000?" Song Yuanchao was really shocked when he heard the price. You must know that he only spent 8,200 to buy his current second-floor apartment, which also included the antique furniture in the house.

Moreover, Song Yuanchao personally visited the Banla courtyard owned by the newspaper. In terms of overall area, it is only slightly larger than his own courtyard. Although the general layout has not changed after so many years of use as an office, many places have been modified or houses have been built.

The original yard, such as the rockery and so on, had long been changed beyond recognition. After buying it, Song Yuanchao had to make great efforts to restore it to its original state.

Now that the price offered by the other party was almost double that of his own courtyard house, and the appearance was far inferior to his own courtyard house, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

If 15,000 is used to win half of the yard, plus the other half, Song Yuanchao spends a lot of money. And Song Yuanchao doesn’t have that much money now. Although the sales of Luoyang’s fake collars are good, Song Yuanchao made a lot of money from them, but most of them

The money is still with Li Daqi. For the sake of convenience, Song Yuanchao did not ask Li Daqi to remit the money to him. Anyway, Li Daqi could rest assured with the money and Song Yuanchao could wait a few days to return to Shanghai before giving it to him.

After calculating the available funds, Song Yuanchao frowned slightly: "This is not a small number, Mr. Yue, you know how much I spent to buy this yard, but the price offered by the newspaper is simply outrageous. It is really outrageous.

.”

Yue Laoer nodded and agreed: "Mr. Song, you are right. The price is really high, but there is nothing we can do about it. That yard is different from this yard. It is a public house, not a private one. It's not nice to say it."

Yes, with them it’s up to you whether you want to buy it or not. It’s not easy to come up with a price.”

I have to say that what Yue Laoer said is correct. Public and private are two different things. For the public, they have the final say whether the yard is sold or not. As for the price, it is up to them to sell it. It is really good to sell it.

Already.

"But Master-in-law, don't forget that there is a backyard. The front yard costs 15,000, so does the backyard have to be sold for 15,000? This doesn't add up to a full 30,000? Even if the houses in Yanjing City are expensive, they don't have such a sky-high price, right?

My money didn't come from the strong wind, let alone that I can't take out so much, even if I can take it out, it will be very difficult. Is it possible that I will drink from the northwest wind in the future?"

"Master Song, please don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly." Seeing Song Yuanchao's unhappy expression, Yue Laoer hurriedly said: "Of course the number in the backyard cannot be this. If it is this number, I will come to tell you.

Why is this happening? It’s obviously impossible.”

Song Yuanchao said nothing, smoking a cigarette and listening quietly to what Yue Laoer continued to say.

"I have already negotiated for you in the backyard, as long as this number is enough." Yue Laoer stretched out his thumb and little finger, curled the other three fingers towards the palm and waved it in front of Song Yuanchao. Seeing this gesture, Song Yuanchao's face softened.

Come down.

"6000, they will sell it at this price!" Yue Laoer said with some pride: "This is a good number. If you think about it, the backyard is almost as big as yours and the location is good. The price is definitely not high.

"

6,000 is not much. If it was just the backyard, Song Yuanchao would immediately agree. But the key thing he wanted was that the whole yard was not half of it. Why did Song Yuanchao want this half?

"The price..." Song Yuanchao said leisurely, and glanced at Yue Laoer who was looking at him: "It's okay, but Master Yue, have you ever thought about the fact that I spent 15,000 on the front yard, and only 6,000 on the back yard?

If word spreads about this, the three families in the backyard will start a fight? Then I will spend so much money in vain and get into trouble, which is not worth it!"

"This is the second thing." As if he had known Song Yuanchao's reaction for a long time, Yue Laoer immediately lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I have talked with the newspaper about this matter, and the same thing is true. If the price is spread,

It’s hard for you to go out, and I can’t even explain it to you. You can’t pay so much money for the backyard by then, right? That’s impossible!”

Yue Laoer continued: "So this matter must not be done this way. I talked with the newspaper and they agreed that the price would be 6,000, but the actual payment must be 15,000. This way, we won't get into trouble.

What do you think?"

Song Yuanchao frowned. Isn't this a yin and yang deal? It's 6,000 openly, but 15,000 secretly. What's the extra 9,000?

"Master-in-law, it seems that there is no problem with this operation, but you know that I don't want to cause any trouble. If this transaction is done like this, it will not be a trivial matter if it is revealed." Song Yuanchao said with a serious expression.

This kind of yin-yang transaction was not uncommon in later generations, especially in enterprises. In layman's terms, it was "taking kickbacks". In ancient times, it was also called "floating".

Although Song Yuanchao took a fancy to the yard and wanted to take it, once he did this, there would be endless troubles. Especially since the front yard belonged to the newspaper, and the newspaper was a subordinate unit of the Second Lighting Bureau, even if the other party gave a guarantee,

But can this guarantee be trusted?

In his previous life, Song Yuanchao stayed in a state-owned enterprise for so many years, from the grassroots level to the middle level of the group. There were many leaders who got up and down because of money issues. There is no airtight wall in this world, and none of these leaders who took the money were stupid.

Naturally, I had to cover it up when I took the money, but the problem is that if you don't reach out for these things, once you reach out, you will lose the handle. When the old debt is revealed later, you will not be able to escape.

Song Yuanchao didn't want to get into any trouble because of this matter. Even if Yue Laoer patted his chest and assured him, Song Yuanchao still shook his head.

"Mr. Song, I don't know what you are worried about. Let me tell you the truth. This money does not go into anyone's pocket. The newspaper office just wants to keep some of it to give everyone some welfare bonuses and so on. Think about it,

Once the real amount is reported, all the money will definitely be handed over to the bureau in the end. In this case, what are the people at the newspaper office busy with? There is no benefit at all, don’t you think?"

"According to you, the extra 9,000 will go into their small treasury?" Song Yuanchao asked.

"Yes! That's what I mean. If it were something illegal, I wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave me ten nerves! Not to mention causing trouble for you. You don't know what kind of person my brother-in-law is? Is he capable of doing this?

Is it possible to give birth to a child without an asshole? You can rest assured that there will be no problem. If something happens, will it be possible for me to twist off my head and use it as a urinal for you?"

When he was excited, Yue Laoer stuttered a bit when he spoke, and even stretched his head directly to Song Yuanchao, raised his hand and slapped the back of his neck.

"As you said, why do I need these eight and a half kilograms from you?" Song Yuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he really didn't want to cause trouble, the yard was really good. After taking it down and working on it, it would definitely be one of the best in Yanjing City.

Such a yard is not common. In future generations, even if you have money, you will not be able to buy it. It would be a pity to miss the opportunity.

But then again, Song Yuanchao didn't want to take risks. If he took risks, there would be too many uncertain factors. He was a little confused and started thinking about it while smoking a cigarette. After thinking for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

"Master Yue, do you think this will work?" Song Yuanchao put out the cigarette butt in his hand and handed another cigarette to Yue Laoer: "This is not a trivial matter, and even if you want to buy a front yard and a back yard, you will have to pay more than 20,000.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, money

It’s not very easy. I have to go back to Shanghai first. Can we wait until after the Chinese New Year to return from Shanghai? Then I would like to make an appointment with the person in charge of the newspaper to have a meal.

Can we have a drink or something and then settle this matter?"

"This..." Yue Laoer was a little hesitant. Originally, he planned to finalize the matter before the New Year. After all, the New Year is coming, and who doesn't want to have a good year. The newspaper office actually had the same intention, and wanted to write something before the New Year.

I will use the money to distribute some supplies to everyone and have a good New Year.

When Yue Laoer told the truth, Song Yuanchao thought for a while and asked Yue Laoer to sit down first. Then he got up and went to the main room, and returned to the west wing after a while.

"Here is 1,000. Now I can't get much money on hand at the moment. You can take 200 of the money yourself first, and help send the remaining 800 to the newspaper office so that the office can add some New Year gifts or something. It's a great Chinese New Year.

, I have to let everyone have a good New Year first, right..."

"Master Song, aren't you trying to kill me? I..." Yue Laoer's face turned red when he saw Song Yuanchao put a stack of money in front of him.

With that said, Yue Laoer resolutely asked Song Yuanchao to take back the money, but Song Yuanchao directly raised his hand to hold him down and said with a smile: "Look what you said, what is mitai? I have never thought about it that way. These days

It’s not easy for everyone, isn’t it? Besides, I’ve seen how you’ve been helping me out these days, so I can’t let your work go in vain, right?”

Patting the back of Yue Laoer's hand, Song Yuanchao said sincerely: "After all, this money is not given in vain. You can just treat it as a deposit. What do you think?"

Song Yuanchao's words left Yue Laoer at a loss for words. He was so moved that he gave a thumbs up to Song Yuanchao and said that Song Yuanchao was very particular.

Yue Laoer wrote a note directly to Song Yuanchao, stating that he had received a deposit of 1,000 yuan from Song Yuanchao, and took out the ink pad and put his fingerprint on it.

When Yue Laoer did this, Song Yuanchao looked on with a smile and did not stop him. After the note was handed to him, Song Yuanchao looked at it and put it away. Next, he and Yue Laoer chatted all over the place for about ten minutes.
