Chapter 8 Hongwan Square Memories of Later Generations
After traveling several kilometers home, Bai Shuo chose to walk instead of taking a car. He passed by a newly built commercial pedestrian street not far from Baijia Town. The construction of most projects has been completed here, but it seems that the sales and investment of shops
The effect is not very good. The sales department is putting out huge advertisements: Platinum shops start from 3888 yuan/square meter. Although the housing prices in Shudu have not yet reached the point of skyrocketing, they are growing steadily, but here it seems so depressed
Bai Shuo knew that this was Hongwan Plaza, and suddenly recalled that on the last day in his memory, he bought a bouquet of flowers here, preparing to confess his love to Li Zhen. Looking back on future generations? Haha, Bai Shuo was not only guilty of his own actions
The definition is a bit funny. In any case, in my memory, the shops here are expensive but not marketable. The popularity has made it one of the busiest commercial and shopping malls in Shu. Many people come to buy with cash, but it is a
It was hard to find a shop. Bai Shuo carefully stroked the fragments in his memory. It seemed that in that life in his dream, this Hongwan Plaza was very depressed at first for unknown reasons, but it soon became inexplicably popular. Bai Shuo stopped.
Step by step, observing everything here, I keenly sensed an opportunity. But I quickly shook my head. First of all, I am not sure whether this place will definitely develop like the future in my dream; secondly, real estate speculation requires a lot of funds.
, this is not what he, a technician who has just started working, can do.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly found a tall and handsome figure wandering around the square, seeming to be observing something. Who could it be if it wasn't Liang Ying? Soon Liang Ying also spotted Bai Shuo, smiled charmingly, and looked towards this person.
Bian walked over.
"Why are you here?" The two of them asked the same thing almost at the same time.
"You seem to be very interested in this place?" Liang Ying then asked
"I was just passing by."
"But you seem to have some opinions about this place?" Liang Ying asked.
Bai Shuo was silent for a while, but still felt that he should keep his thoughts for the time being, because those things that he didn't understand well were not something he could mention to others casually, so he asked, "I haven't thought about it clearly yet, what do you think?"
"The price is not right, but the potential is huge."
Bai Shuo looked at Liang Ying with great interest and said nothing.
"Just like you can walk here casually by passing by, this place is located on a traffic artery with a large flow of people. The city's westward expansion has already covered this place. This commercial pedestrian street has a reasonable layout and novel design.
It just forms supporting facilities for the development of surrounding cities, but such a low price and such depression are obviously unreasonable."
Bai Shuo said "hmm" in a thoughtful tone, which was a response to Liang Ying's analysis.
"Believe it or not, within two years, no, or one year, there is only one opportunity here, and there will be explosive growth."
Bai Shuo felt more and more that Liang Ying didn't look like a waste, and his analysis was almost exactly the same as the development trajectory in his memory.
"Congratulations to you, it's such a good opportunity, but it's a good chance for you to make a comeback and get rid of the waste label."
"What, you don't believe it?" Liang Ying obviously misunderstood that Bai Shuo was laughing at him.
"No, I believe it," Bai Shuo said with sincere eyes.
"What about you? You don't seem to have much ideas or motivation." Liang Ying looked at Bai Shuo doubtfully.
Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly: "Ideas must face reality, and motivation needs fuel."
"Huh?" Liang Ying didn't seem to understand.
"The main reason is one word - poor!" Bai Shuo said with a smile, then patted Liang Ying on the shoulder and prepared to leave.
Liang Ying called Bai Shuo, looked at a Chuanchuan hot pot restaurant across the street that was being transferred, and said: "Real poverty does not lie in money, but in thoughts. Poverty of money will make people poor for a while, but poverty of thoughts
Poverty will make you poor for the rest of your life."
After a pause, Liang Ying pointed to the skewers shop and continued: "Bai Shuo, the son of the owner of the shop opposite is planning to take him abroad. The shop is being transferred, and the transfer price is 1 million. Believe it or not, I don't want to use Bai Wanting."
With resources, you can become the owner of that store without even spending any money.”
Bai Shuo looked at Liang Ying blankly for a while. Although he didn't quite believe that the recognized waste in front of him could really do it, he didn't refute it. He just said lightly: "What does that have to do with me?" Then he turned and left.
Liang Ying looked at Bai Shuo's back and smiled intriguingly.
When Bai Shuo returned home, his fighting spirit was obviously ignited by Liang Ying. He carefully considered his cards and realized that he was not going to live in the newly purchased wedding house. It looked awkward. If he sold it, he could get more than 20 yuan.
Wan, I remember the future life in my dream. After the divorce, in order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, I finally bought a house. It was sold for 700,000 at that time, but it was obviously impossible to wait until a few years later to sell it. I still had a borrowed bride price of 200,000.
, although no one has asked yet, but the marriage has not been concluded, the 200,000 must be returned as soon as possible. The house my parents live in now is an old house that has been more than ten years old, and this must not be touched. In other words, the only thing now is
This is the only house that can be used. You know, although the stores in Hongwan Plaza are cheap, they cost three to four thousand per square meter, and the shops on the ground floor with better locations cost more than five thousand. The smaller shops are now sold.
That’s almost it. The remaining ones are all larger in area, or those on the second and third floors with a starting price of 1,000 square meters. Even if you can get a loan, the more than 200,000 yuan is obviously not enough. But now that he has made a decision, Bai Shuo still puts it.
The wedding room was posted online, and after all, it left a conspicuous scar.
At this time, Cao An called and asked Bai Shuo to accompany him to the town office. The Internet cafe he ran had some problems and he had to go to the town office to solve it. Several other buddies heard that Bai Shuo was finally out of jail today and filed for divorce.
The matter was settled, and they were all going to go to the bar to drink in the evening and watch the World Cup, where the brothers would have a good time together. Bai Shuo agreed to go to the appointment, thinking that due to the recent marriage and divorce, he didn’t even pay much attention to his favorite football game. etc.
Wait, World Cup, Bundesliga World Cup, in the memory of the dream, this World Cup is almost the last World Cup that he has watched carefully. Because the next World Cup will be the time when he and Zhao Lan will be most troubled by their divorce.
, he seemed to have lost interest in the next two games due to the burden of family life and work. He still clearly remembers in his dream that Italy won the World Cup this year, and he also won the second, third and fourth place.
I can still remember it. I tried my best to recall the classic matches. It seems that this round of the World Cup was very smooth and there were no dark horses. If I have to say that there was one, I only remember one, which was Gaul 3:1 in the top 16.
The scene in Spain still left some impression on him.
Bai Shuo immediately checked the schedule on the computer. So far, it seems that there is no conflict between the game results and the memory in the dream. The reason why there is no conflict is because Bai Shuo cannot remember all the games, or even most of them.
But judging from the current schedule, there is no conflict with the last top four results in my memory. Then I looked up the game between Gaul and Spain, and it was such a coincidence that it happened in the early morning of tomorrow.
Bai Shuo was still a little unwilling and decided to verify the memory in the dream again. He searched for a long time on the Internet for sports betting websites, but they were either unreliable or the country of China, which banned gambling, was harmonious. In short, Bai Shuo spent a long time researching.
He couldn't find any channel to participate in betting with foreign gambling companies. Time was tight and he couldn't study it slowly. Finally, he came to a lottery shop and could only rely on Chinese lottery tickets to place bets. After studying the betting rules,
Only then did I realize that the rules are really ridiculous. If you buy scores, then all the funds for betting on scores will be used as the prize pool fund for the score betting project, and the lottery company will also take a certain percentage of management fees from it, and the rest will be evenly distributed to guess the correct scores.
bettors. In other words, the lottery company is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. If there are too many bettors who guess the score correctly, they may only get a very pitiful bonus. Although there are several other betting methods, Baidu
Shuo didn't bother anymore, so he directly won 3:1 Gao Lu, betting 10,000. Even though the lottery shop owner was well-informed, he was slightly surprised to see such a bet.
Next, Bai Shuo arrived at the door of the town office at the time agreed by Cao An. Cao An was already waiting there. After some understanding, it turned out that a relative of Director Ma of the town office also opened a new Internet cafe in the town. In terms of decoration, machines
The equipment is definitely better than Cao An's. But after all, Cao An's Internet cafe has been popular for many years, and Cao An's popularity in the town is nothing to say. Almost all the old Internet users nearby are his friends. So that newly opened cafe
The Internet cafe business has not been very good. If only there was fair competition, but the owner of the Internet cafe relied on his uncle as the director of the town office. Through his connections, he would ask people to find fault with Cao An every day. Today he would inspect the fire department, and tomorrow he would inspect the tax.
There is a problem here, and it needs to be rectified there, which makes Cao An very anxious. After several rounds, Cao An finally figured out the trick here. With his character and cunning, I am afraid that he is going to go straight to Huanglong today and stage a "public servant"
A drama about a nephew who abuses his power and angers the common people who are not afraid of power and beats up an immoral and cowardly official.
The two walked into the town office building. It seemed that there were no people working in the office building today, and many offices were empty of people working. They were looking for Director Ma's office. Suddenly they heard a burst of curses coming from the conference room in front of them.
"What kind of quality development activities, why didn't anyone notify me? When did this happen? Quality improvement is to better implement the work. Flood prevention and control are so urgent, so to engage in quality development is simply putting the cart before the horse."
With a "bang", a man in his twenties, tall and tall, with a sullen face slammed the door out of the conference room, followed closely by a young and shy man holding a stack of documents.
The shy man trotted quickly behind the man at a loss. Bai Shuo happened to know this man, he was Xiao Zhen, the current mayor of Baijia Town.
"Two comrades, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Zhen suppressed his anger temporarily when he found Bai Shuo and Cao An looking around in the office building.
"Hello, Mayor Xiao, my name is Bai Shuo. I live in Hongcui Community. Last time you came to the community to inspect the work, you also came to my house as a guest. We have met before." Bai Shuo quickly pulled him closer.
"Oh... Mr. Bai's family, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Zhen had an impression of Bai Shuo's father, but he couldn't remember when he saw Bai Shuo that day. In fact, he had never seen him before.
Bai Shuo confused the memory in the dream with the memory in reality.
"It's like this. We have something to do with Director Ma of the town office. I wonder which office he is in?"
"Director Ma. Oh, today, the town party committee's organizational quality development program, Director Ma should also be there. Didn't you make an appointment before?"
Seeing that Bai Shuo was slightly disappointed, Xiao Zhen pointed to a room on the diagonal side and said, "His office is over there. You can come back another day."
At this time, when Cao An saw that he had thrown away today, he rolled his eyes, stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Zhen's sleeve, and showed an aggrieved expression: "Mayor Xiao, in fact, it's the same with you. Director Ma is bullying me."
We ordinary people, you have to make the decision for us."
Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then patted Cao An on the shoulder: "Little brother, don't worry, go to my office and talk slowly."
Soon, Cao An told vividly and tearfully how Mayor Ma helped his nephew suppress him and how he took a share in his nephew's Internet cafe.
After listening, Xiao Zhen thought carefully for a while: "Brother Cao, there is no direct evidence for most of what you said. Even if the fire protection, taxation, and Internet surveillance have to be inspected, it is due to their responsibilities. I really can't say that they are doing something wrong.
"You have to be tough when you are making iron. As long as you abide by the law and operate legally, I think no matter how much I investigate, nothing will happen."
"But!" Seeing that Cao An was a little excited, Xiao Zhen raised his voice slightly and continued: "What I hate the most is officials using their power for personal gain and oppressing the people. Don't worry, I will further investigate Director Ma's matter. As long as your Internet cafe is legal.
If you operate according to regulations, we as officials have the responsibility to protect you."
"Okay, Mayor Xiao, I believe what you said." Cao An was very happy to believe what Xiao Zhen said. Seeing that the matter was almost done, he stood up with Bai Shuo and said, "Then Xiao Zhen
Sir, we will leave today so we won’t disturb your work.”
Just as Bai Shuo stood up and was about to leave, he accidentally saw a pile of information on Xiao Zhen's desk that contained recent meteorological information in the Shudu area. In addition, he heard Xiao Zhen vaguely mention the flood control work before.
Suddenly I remembered that many areas in Shudu this year suffered floods that were rare in a century due to abnormal weather. Although Shudu has a flat terrain and is not close to any major rivers, there are only a few small tributaries around it, and the city as a whole has poor flood drainage.
, the flood discharge capacity is pretty good, so it is almost impossible for a major flood to occur. It is precisely because of this that this flood was not fully recognized and caused great losses to the city and residents.
"Mayor Xiao, I would like to ask, were you concerned about flood control work just now?" Bai Shuo couldn't help but ask.
