Chapter 17 Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles
"I'm making you laugh. Please give your police department more attention regarding the child." Ma Guangyuan's originally sharp eyes were covered with a layer of vicissitudes of life, and his voice was deep.
"Maintaining the safety and happiness of the people is the duty of our police. Please rest assured about this. Now we hope that Ma Peng will truthfully tell the police everything that happened that night, including why he met with Hu Xiaofei late at night, what his plan was, and what he planned to do."
What were people talking about?”
Deputy Captain Liu Mingqian continued with a serious expression; "Who has Ma Peng offended in society? He has had conflicts in business and other aspects, as well as other facts we need to know. Only by mastering the comprehensive situation can we
The perpetrators should be brought to justice and your family should be given an explanation.
Any concealment or failure to report it will make the case investigation go astray. As a state cadre, I think you know the appropriateness and you need to understand your son Ma Peng's uncooperative attitude and assist the police in solving the case."
"I understand, I understand, I will try my best to do my job." Ma Guangyuan nodded, rolled his eyes, and said, "I have an important clue to provide to the police. Wang Guodong, who lives next door to our house, may have harmed Ma Peng.
The murderer, he and I have deep conflicts, and he was angry at innocent children, so he had the motive to commit the crime."
"Okay, stop!" Deputy Captain Liu Mingqian couldn't listen anymore. "We have already investigated Wang Guodong's family. Before the incident, their family was having wine at home to celebrate their children's excellent performance in the college entrance examination. A neighbor came to visit at night. Can
It proved that they drank a lot of wine at that time, and several members of the family were drunk and incapable of committing the crime.
Moreover, as the leader of your unit, Wang Guodong must bear the corresponding responsibility for making random identifications without evidence."
Ma Guangyuan couldn't listen at all, and argued forcefully: "Wang Guodong is a soldier and has enough ability to commit crimes."
"As far as I know, Director Wang has been serving as a technical leader. It is more accurate to say that he is an intellectual than a soldier." Liu Mingqian took the trouble to explain.
"You are prejudiced. No one will believe it if you tell me. Can't intellectuals hurt people? A woman can stab someone to death with a knife, let alone a middle-aged man like Wang Guodong." Ma Guangyuan's eyes flashed.
The fanatical light is the repressed jealousy and loss that caused his perverted obsession.
The public security organs were not suitable to participate in this kind of conflict created in the work unit, and they could not comment on it. Seeing the other party staring at Wang Guodong's family, the police station chief Zhang Yelin felt bored from the bottom of his heart.
He raised his eyebrows, gently pulled down Liu Mingqian's sleeve, and whispered, "They are all old fools. It's useless no matter how much you talk to this kind of person. Let him go."
Liu Mingqian opened his mouth, feeling very bored and didn't want to say anything else.
Half sea water, half fire.
Not to mention the troubles of Ma Guangyuan's family, during this period, Wang Guodong's family had happy events one after another, and it was really fun to find out.
At Wang Yaocheng's eighteenth birthday party, his eldest brother Wang Yaoyang unexpectedly matched up with Luo Jingwen. They were a pair of bastards. They saw each other right and fell in love immediately.
This matter was originally led by the parents of both parties. In the general environment, the green light was given, and the couple was like a sudden rain after a long drought, and their relationship heated up quickly.
Comrade Chen Xiulian was puzzled by this. Why didn't her eldest son Wang Yaoyang get enlightened before?
Wang Yaocheng explained in a very stupid way: "Mom, actually, when a man and a woman fall in love, it's like using a key to open a lock. If the key is wrong, the lock will be an iron lump. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. If the key is right,
If it does, it will open with a 'click', so there is nothing wrong with it."
Chen Xiulian was extremely pleased, patted her son's hand and said, "Yes, that's the truth! Our son is still smart in Xiaocheng, and he is worthy of being a top student in a key university."
"Excuse me, Mom, the notice hasn't come out yet." Wang Yaocheng was humble for a rare moment.
"It's only a matter of time. Our Lao Wang family still lacks this piece of paper. Whichever university our son goes to in Xiaocheng is their blessing." Chen Xiulian responded domineeringly, which was indeed a bit inflated.
Wang Yaocheng was really embarrassed to compliment him, so he could only laugh a little awkwardly along with "Hey hey".
a moment later
"Mom, I have something to report to you." Wang Yaocheng thoughtfully handed over a plate of iced watermelon.
"Just tell me."
"I was thinking, there are still more than 40 days in this summer vacation, so I can't just hang around at home all the time. This is just a waste of life."
"Um!"
"As the saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. The tide of reform and opening up is vast. Profound changes are taking place from rural areas to cities. Society is constantly innovating. As a prospective college student in the new era, I go out to walk more and see
At first glance, personally experiencing this profound reform trend of the times will definitely benefit my growth a lot."
"Ah... let's go out!" Chen Xiulian hesitated a little. Her son was going to study abroad when he was admitted to college. She really couldn't bear to have precious time at home during the summer vacation.
Wang Yaocheng had a development plan in mind, but to implement it, he had to obtain his mother's consent and leave home to go to Jinling. If he couldn't do his mother's job, everything would be in vain.
"Mom, you see, the eldest brother is in a relationship with Sister Xiaowen, and now the two are having an affair..." Wang Yaocheng had no choice but to sell the eldest brother and use him to make excuses.
"This damn kid, you don't have any control over your mouth. Did you say that about your eldest brother and sister-in-law? There are no rules at all." Chen Xiulian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and lightly slapped her son in the face as a punishment.
"Oh! My fault, eldest brother and sister Xiaowen are very affectionate, but why can't it be convenient for them to come to our house?"
"Why?"
Wang Yaocheng pointed at himself, "Because there is a big 100-watt light bulb, which is really in the way."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Don't you just want to participate in some social activity summer camp, or travel together? It seems that you can't stay at home anymore. Okay, I agree." Chen Xiulian thought about it carefully and said; "Is there any way?
Ichijo, you must go together with your classmates, and have someone to look after you. You can’t run too far.
, and call home frequently to avoid worries at home. Don’t meddle in other people’s business when you go out, and don’t worry too much when you see bad people doing petty theft. They are all members of the same party, so be careful and remember.
You, retaliate later, and be more careful about where you live. Living in a place with poor sanitary conditions will be terrible..."
"Oh! Mom, I'm sorry, how many things have you said?"
"Ah... okay." Chen Xiulian reacted, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, and lightly hit Wang Yaocheng with her backhand; "I accidentally said so much, hahaha, okay, don't say more, anyway, my mother told me
Just listen."
"I swear to the moon, I will listen to my mother and do what she says, and I will never make a mistake."
"You kid is so glib." Chen Xiulian said quite grandly; "There are still more than 20,000 yuan at home. This time you are admitted to a key university. Your parents will reward you 5,000. You can choose what you want to buy and spend money along the way.
There’s no need to save money, I’d rather have money suffer than let people suffer.”
"I know, Mom."
At this time in 1991, 5,000 yuan was not a small amount. It was equivalent to Comrade Wang Guodong's total salary for four months. This was a huge amount of money.
According to the level in Jiangsu Province, the average salary at that time was about 400-500 yuan, and the salary of undergraduate graduates in 1991 was about 260 yuan.
If you earn more than 1,000 yuan, then it is considered a high salary. Comrade Wang Guodong enjoys the same level salary, with high salary and good benefits. He can get about 1,300 yuan per month, which is already rare.
Nowadays, commercial housing has just begun to appear, and the price in a good location is only 2,300 yuan per square meter. If 200 yuan can buy a house of one square meter, it is not cheap. A month's salary can buy two square meters.
The combined salary of Wang Guodong and Chen Xiulian is 2,000 yuan per month. If they buy a house in a good location, which is about seven or eight square meters, they can buy a house with one year's salary.
In fact, that's not how the account is calculated.
In 1991, the country's economy obviously entered a state of overheating. Coupled with the backward infrastructure and controls, water and power outages became commonplace. Prices were high. A pound of pork cost six yuan, and monthly living expenses were about a thousand yuan.
, plus other miscellaneous expenses and helping relatives in need, there is not much money left every month.
Moreover, most units now have welfare housing allocation, so commercial buildings basically cannot be sold. There are few people buying commercial buildings, and many houses cannot be sold.
According to the price of welfare housing allocation, Wang Guodong's family has two floors, three upper and lower, totaling 150 square meters, which is about 8,000 yuan. One square meter only costs dozens of yuan. Who would buy a commercial house that costs hundreds of yuan?
Some commercial buildings were vacant for seven or eight years and were not sold until the end of the 1990s. The developers suffered huge losses.
Another reason is that everyone's wages are very low, only 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a year, and prices are not low. The wages on hand are gone for food and drink, life is tight, and there is no money to buy commercial buildings.
In 1991, wages were not high, but prices were not. Pork sold for 6 yuan per catty, a meal at KFC cost more than 20 yuan, and a decent jacket cost about 150 yuan. The cost of living was quite high.
The Geng Shen Year Monkey Ticket issued in 1980 had a circulation of 5 million pieces and a face value of eight cents. In 1991, it sold for up to 80 yuan a piece in the market, and its value increased 1,000 times.
This myth of wealth creation has sparked a stamp collecting craze across the country. There are millions of stamp collecting enthusiasts, ranging from the elderly to children, from unit workers to housewives, all of whom are keen on collecting stamps.
But except for a very small number of collectible stamps, such as Mei Lanfang's souvenirs, the Fourth Five-Year Plan, etc., all other stamps are money-losing products. If you want to make money in the philatelic market, it is even more unreliable than stock speculation.
The number of each set of stamps issued by the postal department is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Such large-scale products have no collection value at all.
Facts have proved that the postal department was short-sighted, and the thousands of stamp sets issued since then all underperformed inflation, effectively destroying a national philatelic market.
As a reborn person, Wang Yaocheng knows that the current price of 80 yuan for the Gengshen Monkey Ticket is still at a low level. In the future, it will exceed 10,000 yuan for a piece, and the full version may even reach a million yuan. If you have the opportunity, you can definitely buy some and put it away.
At home.
He also knew;
Yanjing, the capital of China, took the lead in implementing the housing provident fund system in 1991, promoting the market-oriented reform of commercial housing. At this time, the commercial housing in the South Third Ring Road was only 1,500 yuan/square meter.
No one thought that in 1992 alone, the price of commercial housing soared to an astonishing level of 5,000 yuan per square meter, a 257% increase over the previous year. The real estate bubble quickly inflated. By the first half of 1993, it reached
A sky-high price of 7,500 yuan/square meter.
The rapid growth of the real estate industry bubble aroused concerns from the central government, leading to the introduction of the first real estate regulation policy.
The real estate bubble burst in Haijiao Province, and 99% of the 13,000 real estate companies went bankrupt, triggering various bad debts worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
The bursting of the real estate bubble in Cape Province directly led to a hard landing in the national real estate market, and it was a face-down one. Real estate across the country plummeted. In just a few months, by the second half of 1993, it had returned to the level of 1991.
The decline reached 85% compared to 2008, thus entering a long period of ice-up.
No more gossip
The mother and son were talking at home, and there was a knock on the door outside the yard. Wang Yaocheng jumped up nimbly and opened the door, only to find that it was class monitor Xia Yuxin, standing pretty outside, holding the class beauty Xu Lili's arm in one hand, like a girl.
Pair of lotus flowers.
"Wow! How did you two get together? And how did you find me here?" Wang Yaocheng didn't understand for a while. He had relatively low emotional intelligence in his past and present lives, and this problem has always existed.
"We all know that you performed very well in the college entrance examination and will soon be a proud college student. Why, aren't you welcome?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Where, where, welcome."
Wang Yaocheng was not able to hear such obvious words. He glanced at Luo Peixin and Shen Bo who were shrinking at the door of the courtyard, winking at him, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
These scammers are really crazy for not selling themselves cleanly in front of beautiful women, which truly proves the saying; brothers are just for selling.
"Xiaocheng, who is here? Hurry up and let the guests come and sit at home."
The voice of his mother, Chen Xiulian, came from behind. Wang Yaocheng was so frightened that he shrank his neck, closed the door even smaller, and silently signaled to the two female classmates in front of him;
My mother is at home.
This move was more effective than any words. The courage the two young girls mustered up suddenly gave out, and they hurriedly hid outside the yard, like frightened little white rabbits.
"Mom, my classmates came to play with me. I'm going out for a while."
"Go ahead and don't go too crazy."
"Oh, I might not come back for dinner, so don't wait for me for dinner."
"Your brother doesn't come back to eat either. Huh, it's only been a few days. Everyone is running out in a hurry. Don't come back to eat if you can." Her mother, Chen Xiulian, nagged with some dissatisfaction.
Wang Yaocheng didn't dare to answer the question, so he sneaked out, closed the door behind him, and ran out in small steps.
