The son of the Cui family mentioned in Lao Guanli is Cui Dazhang, who is eight years older than Cheng Guanli.
Cui Dazhang was already married, with a son and a daughter who lived in the alley next door, and this courtyard house was home to Cui and his wife.
When he heard that Lao Li's house and a vegetable cellar were sold for one thousand, Cui Dazhang immediately had the idea of selling his parents' house.
He thought that even if Lao Li's house was sold for one thousand, the house where his parents lived could be sold for two thousand.
What kind of business can I do with these two thousand? Now, as long as I'm not messing around, I can basically make money.
When the time comes, I will take my parents to live in my own home. They are already old, how many more years can they live there?
So I came to see Cheng Guanli specifically.
Cheng Guanli went to the backyard to talk to Cui Dazhang, and said somewhat funny: "Brother Dazhang, does Uncle Cui want you to sell it?"
"Hey! I am his son who supports him in old age. If he doesn't listen to me, who will he listen to? Sell it! Can you give me two thousand?"
"I can't give it to you. Uncle Li's house has a vegetable cellar, which can store a lot of things. I can only give you one thousand and fifty for these two rooms, in cash. When are you sure to sell it? Bring Uncle Cui to me. I guess at this time
I am the only one who can take over the house."
Cheng Guanli is right. Most people today are still unaware of how high the prices of courtyard houses will rise in the future.
Even if there are people waiting to use the house, such as the Cheng Dehai family in the west door of the backyard, the price cannot be higher than the price offered by Cheng Guanli.
Money doesn't matter how much you spend, as long as it's spent wisely, it's worth it.
Cui Dazhang frowned and thought for a while, "One thousand and five is too low, I'll think about it."
"Hehe, okay, if there is anyone who pays more than me, just say something and I will have a good idea, eh? Brother Dazhang, what are you going to do with the money?"
"The road to clothing trade is already well established, and we're just waiting to get started."
"Okay, you have to take a good road before starting. Don't end up like Uncle Li's house."
"Thanks for reminding me, you might as well just take over my parents' house for two thousand!"
"Hey, in a few days, I'm a little busy during this period. Let's wait until Uncle Li's house is finished."
There weren't many families living in the backyard, so I couldn't hide anything from my neighbors.
Mrs. Cheng and Liu Aimei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw this and were extremely jealous.
Old Mrs. Cheng said: "Aimei, please call Jianwen Jianwu tomorrow. Don't just make money in Jinmen. If you don't come back, you have to take away the entire backyard for this ceremony? Ask Jianwen Jianwu how much he earns now. Really?
If you have money, don’t worry about those few hundred dollars, and quickly take down Lao Cui’s house!”
"Okay, Mom, don't wait until tomorrow. I'll go to the phone booth on the street right now. They have time at night. If you look for them during the day, you may not be able to find him!"
As she spoke, Liu Aimei went out and went to the telephone hall to call her two sons in Jinmen.
He told them what was going on in the courtyard and asked them to consider buying back the old Cui family's house.
As a result, Cheng Jianwen said impatiently: "Mom, we are making a lot of money now, why are we selling a bungalow in a dilapidated courtyard? Don't worry about it with grandma. If you are angry when you see Cheng Guanli buying Lao Cui's house,
Just report him, anyway, there is no such thing as individuals buying and selling houses in the country!"
"Eh? Jianwen, some time ago you said it was difficult to get married without a house. Why are you not in a hurry? Has the business been lost?"
"Ouch! Mom, can you say something auspicious? Okay, okay, don't call your cousin's house for such trivial matters from now on. It's so inconvenient during dinner!"
On the other end of the phone, I heard Cheng Dehai's cousin laughing and saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm about to ask you three to come over for a drink. We just happened to discuss the import of TVs."
When Liu Aimei heard the voice on the phone, she felt inexplicably worried. The husband and his two sons did not tell their family how much they earned. It was not convenient to ask in detail now, so she had to give up.
"Jianwen, please think about it carefully. There are not many opportunities. I will wait for news from you in the past few days. I can call, write or send a telegram!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it!"
A few days later, Dalei and Erlei picked up Lao Li and his wife. The house was empty and the key was handed over to Cheng Guanli.
Just wait for Cheng Guanli to choose a time to take Lao Li to the street office to change the owner of the house.
Because of business matters, Mr. Li and the other three were angry at Chen Jinsheng, but they couldn't say anything.
After all, they were generous enough when they withdrew and couldn't find any fault. They also ran back to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, leaving Chen Yinsheng behind who was not involved in the business at all. Even Chen Yinsheng couldn't blame them.
All I can do is swallow my grievances into my stomach.
This time, the three of them were honest and politely vacated the house for Cheng Guanli. Dalei and Erlei even said some kind words and thanked Cheng Guanli for helping out.
At this point, Cheng Guanli gave them an idea.
"Dalei Erlei, I have learned about your travel agency. The reason why your business is getting worse and worse is that your reputation has been ruined and the number of times you have broken down halfway. Even if you would rather not make money and transfer tourists to other travel agencies, in the face of tourists,
In my eyes, you have become a black travel agency that dumps customers halfway. Think about it, which tourist will believe it if you say it doesn’t make money? Who else dares to sign up with you?"
"Alas! Who says it's not the case? The current situation is that we are stuck in a quagmire and stuck!"
"I think you should start with the broken car that is the problem. If it can be sold, sell it. If it can't be sold, don't make do with it. If it doesn't work, just provide mid-range services and don't open a travel agency."
"What terminal? The last link?"
"No, it's the middle one. It's the service that tourists need when visiting scenic spots. Just do that... Well, to put it bluntly, it's just to open a big restaurant near the scenic spot. The tourists in the province haven't had enough time to have fun, so they just rush there.
Go back to the city for dinner."
The tourism industry during this period was just picking up, and many remote scenic spots had no hotels.
As a result, some tourists cannot stay in remote scenic spots for a long time and have to return to the city or suburbs before eating.
Of course Li Dalei and Li Erlei knew about this situation, but they were only thinking about how to save the travel agency's business and didn't think about that.
Hearing what Cheng Guanli said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, yes, it makes sense. Watch the ceremony and explain it carefully."
Cheng Guanli said: "You know best which tourist attraction has a lot of guests and no place to eat. Find a larger farmyard nearby to open a restaurant. The investment will not be too big. If you can't sell the old car, just use it."
Help pick up the tourists. Anyway, you are already familiar with the travel agencies in the capital. Give them some appropriate profit rebates and ensure that the travel agencies will bring the guests to your place during the meal. By then, both of your families will be too busy!"
"What a great idea!" Li Dalei couldn't help but clap his hands.
But Li Erlei was a little worried and said: "But our cooking skills are incomparable with your restaurant!"
"Hey! It's not a downtown hotel that specializes in repeat customers. Those who come to the capital will definitely not come here a second time in the next two or three years. As long as the food is not too bad and they are not allowed to complain to the travel agency, it will be a big deal in the future.
You can also build more houses and hotels, and directly cooperate with travel agencies for a long time, so as to avoid driving a broken car that breaks down all the time!"
Li Dalei and Li Erlei thought for a while, looked at each other again, and suddenly bowed deeply to Cheng Guanli together.
"Guan Li, when the business didn't start a year ago, you didn't lend money and asked my dad not to do such a big job. We brothers blamed you for being impersonal and callous you. Now we know that you are the one who thinks about your neighbors.
Man, if I had listened to you earlier, we would not have come to this point! Your advice today has saved two families, thank you! I have nothing else to repay you except to say thank you, and we will do what you said right away.
You have to prepare, when the restaurant opens, I will definitely invite you to come and have a seat!" This chapter has been completed!
