After Zhang Xiaochuan joined, Lin Yi immediately introduced him to Mo Qing, whom he brought with him, and gave him some advice in private at night.
Mo Qing was a smart man and agreed with understanding.
In the next few days, Lin Yi did not interfere too much in their promotion work in Yangcheng. He only made some direction decisions when Mo Qing came to ask him for instructions, and assisted in the team's running-in.
Mo Qing's performance is also good. He has already been in the society and knows how important this opportunity is. He has secretly made great determination and made a lot of efforts.
Lin Yi was satisfied with this, so he left the matters in Yangcheng to him for the time being, and went to Lin'an as agreed with his senior sister before.
In other cities, Lin Yi would live with his team, but when he arrived in Lin'an, it would be unreasonable for him not to go home.
So Lin Yi asked his senior sister to be sent from the capital to find a place to live with his operations team who would join him in Lin'an.
Of course he called in advance when he went back, so Lin's parents were not too surprised. Ms. Yu Xiujuan also specially prepared a table of dishes and his favorite braised pork.
After filling his stomach at home, Lin Yicai asked: "How does your house look? It's been more than a month."
Before Lin Yi left, he left six to seven million for them to buy a house. Although this was a big deal, there should be a result after more than a month.
Yu Xiujuan asked unhappily while clearing the table: "Why? After making a little money, you start to dislike the old house at home. Do you feel wronged?"
What she said was that she was the one who agreed first. Lin Yihao said that he had no such intention and let them choose carefully until they were satisfied.
Ms. Yu Xiujuan regained the feeling of disciplining her son with a few words, letting him know who has the final say in the family, and then she answered the question just now.
"Xiaohui helped us find some houses, and we looked at them all. But either the location was not very good, the layout was not very good, or the lighting and ventilation were not satisfactory."
At the end, she complained: "I thought five million was a lot of money, but it seems that the house I can buy is just like that."
In fact, no matter what kind of house you want to find, you can find faults. If you look around and are dissatisfied, it only means one thing:
The budget is not enough.
Yu Xiujuan reported a budget of five million to her cousin Cheng Zihui, who was looking for a house for them. Lin Yi made the simplest suggestion:
"Why don't you let your cousin look for a more expensive house? If what you gave before is not enough, I will give you some more."
Yu Xiujuan glared at him dissatisfied again: "Are you the one who spends too much money? Let's choose again. I think there will definitely be a suitable house."
This time even Lin Guoqing, who was silent, intervened: "No need, you have a lot of money to spend outside your business now, just keep it for yourself."
Lin Yi knows that there are unlikely to be any cheap and good houses on the market waiting for buyers to pick them up. If there is such a good thing, the intermediary will take it by himself, so that it cannot be sold to the outside world, and then sell it at the normal market price.
A profit.
Real estate in big cities is more of an investment property than a residence. In fact, local citizens who live in old and small apartments suffer the same fate as young people from other places who need to buy a house to put down roots.
Lin Yi only asked about this matter because he thought that housing prices would get higher and higher in the future. However, it is only 2013 and the G20 summit is still early. Lin'an's housing prices have been relatively stable in the past two years.
There was no need to tell them this, so Lin Yi casually found a reason: "Sure, you guys have to make a decision sooner or later. Cousin can't let people's work go in vain."
"You still need to tell me?"
Ms. Yu Xiujuan said disgustedly: "Do we still need you to teach us this little bit of human sophistication? We have started a small business to show off to our family."
Lin Yi is no longer a small businessman, but he wisely did not argue with his mother.
"Speaking of cousin, I want to see my uncle tomorrow. Why don't you give me a call, or help me tell him."
Lin Yi's uncle Cheng Shengli is a taxi driver.
Lin'an is a tourist city, and there are many tourists during the National Day holiday. If he hadn't notified him in advance, he might have been out doing work all day long.
Ms. Yu Xiujuan asked strangely: "What's new, you didn't even leave an elder's phone number, and we couldn't even chat with him during the Chinese New Year. Why are you suddenly looking for him this time?"
Lin Yi simply explained: "Didn't I say I made a taxi-hailing app before? This trip is to promote it in the Lin'an market. My uncle has been driving a taxi in Lin'an for so many years, so he may be able to help."
Yu Xiujuan looked at her husband beside her.
According to the tacit understanding of the family, no matter what happens, the relative over there will make the decision, so of course Lin Guoqing has the final say on Cheng Shengli's affairs.
Lin Guoqing still remembered that during the summer vacation, Lin Yi asked Cheng Shengli about many things about the taxi industry, knowing that what he said was true.
So I thought about it and suggested, "How about this? Let Xiaohui take us to see two more houses tomorrow. It just so happens that you are also here to give us some advice."
"Your uncle will ask him to come with you. If anything happens, you can tell him in person. I believe he will not refuse if he can help you."
Lin Yi did everything he could, so the matter was settled. Lin Guoqing himself called his aunt and uncle to explain.
After a while, he finished the phone call and found Lin Yi, who was eating on the balcony, and told him the result: "It's been agreed. Besides, your aunt has nothing to do at home during the holiday, so she will come with us tomorrow."
He hesitated again and asked: "Lin Yi, your uncle is just an ordinary taxi driver. How can he help you?"
Lin Yi understood what he meant. Lin Guoqing only had two brothers and sisters. He had not had any conflicts for many years and still attached great importance to family harmony.
So Lin Yi reassured him: "Don't worry, I'm sensible and won't make any demands that would embarrass him. And it's a good thing."
"I don't have to do it with him. If my uncle doesn't want to, I can find someone else. Anyway, it won't hurt the harmony of the family."
Lin Guoqing thought that Lin Yi had a big business outside and was no longer a child, so he did not continue to inquire further.
After he finished admonishing him about this matter, he thought for a while and asked again: "That classmate Xiao Gu, has she made her debut now? Haven't you seen her on TV?"
Lin Yi had been in Beijing for the past month, while Gu Caiwei was in Shanghai, so they still kept in touch by phone. As for her career, it was still tepid for the time being.
Father Lin also thinks that only those who appear on TV are called stars, and Lin Yi didn't explain too much to him: "Gu Caiwei debuted in August, but she hasn't become popular yet."
Lin Guoqing used to think that making a debut was equivalent to becoming a star, but now he realizes that his understanding seems to be slightly different, but after thinking about it, he thinks it's not a bad thing.
He was originally worried that Gu Caiwei's becoming a star would have an impact on their relationship. Now that Lin Yi's business is getting bigger and bigger, the girl has become temporarily silent.
Recalling what happened during the summer vacation, he wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he did not speak. He just patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said:
"If you have time, go see her more often. She may need your support at this time."
Lin Yi agreed and had a plan: "After solving the matter in Lin'an, I will rush to Shencheng immediately."
After saying this, Lin Guoqing turned around and went back to the house.
Lin Yi stayed on the balcony and continued to look up at the long-lost night sky of Lin'an. Thinking of the girl he just mentioned, a sentence came to his mind inexplicably:
