Of course, Chen Xiaohui didn't have the brand-name bag she mentioned, so Ye Fan bought her a set of skin care products. Ye Fan bought Erbao a fashionable small backpack and Geng Huihui a black tote bag, leaving her to store her books and teaching materials. Yu Wentao didn't want bags or skin care products, so Ye Fan bought her two boxes of Angong Niuhuang Pills that the elderly need.
Ye Fan considered that Ye Liangliang was young and medicines, skin care products and bags were not suitable for her, so he gave her a signed record from her idol. Ye Fan's partner got this record from the celebrity manager.
Although Ye Fan's partners are mainly engaged in trading, because there are several people in the company who know computers and have helped Ye Fan develop several software, they are regarded as one of the upstarts in Hong Kong's technology, so all the big and small brokers give him face.
Benben, Leilei and Sensenren had gifts even though they didn't come. Ye Fan gave Dabao a sum of money and asked Dabao to watch and buy them.
Although I spent a lot of money, I made it back in Hong Kong City. On the fourth day of the new year, Ye Fan and his partners went to meet a foreigner and got a check for one million Hong Kong dollars from him.
Then the two of them went to the bank and divided the money 10% among the partners as agreed, and Ye Fan took the remaining money back to the hotel. In the evening, Ye Fan asked Erbao to call Chu Guangming.
The hotels Ye Fan booked were all double rooms, one for Dabao and Chu Guangming. When he came, Dabao followed him. Ye Fan opened his bag and took out a few wads of money.
Dabao was puzzled: "Why did mom withdraw so much money?"
Chu Guangming also wanted to ask this, but suddenly remembered something: "Aunt Ye, sold it?"
Ye Fan nodded: "My friend is very good at deceiving you. He pretends that your thing is a year-long project for all the staff of his company. There is still so much after excluding his hard work."
Chu Guangming, Dabao and Erbao took a breath at the same time, their faces full of shock.
Erbao pinched her brother, and Dabao inhaled in pain. Just as she was about to return the favor, Erbao said, "It's not a dream!"
Dabao was speechless. He squatted by the bed, picked up the money, and said in a loud voice: "Mom, how much is this?"
Ye Fan said: "It's about one million yuan converted into RMB."
Chu Guangming swallowed, looking like it was impossible.
Erbao asked: "Mom, is the buyer a foreigner? Are foreigners so rich?"
Ye Fan: "Foreigners are rich but not stupid."
Chu Guangming knelt down next to Dabao: "But, my little software is worth five thousand at most. Giving ten thousand is too much money for others."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "It's only worth a few thousand yuan for one person to buy and use. You give him something and let him dispose of it. Do you know how many people he sells to? In developed countries abroad, many families have computers. Even if they are not sold abroad, He can also make this money back in Hong Kong City.”
Dabao suddenly understood something: "Mom, is this the buyout fee?"
Ye Fan nodded and handed the contract to Chu Guangming: "In the future, you can't sell it to anyone except for your own use."
The English contract also had a lot of professional vocabulary. Chu Guangming looked at it with difficulty, and it took him a long time to figure out that it was indeed as Dabao said, this was a buyout fee.
Chu Guangming closed the contract: "Even if it's the buyout fee, it's still a lot of money."
Ye Fan: "If I step forward, the maximum is 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you step forward, the minimum is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars and the maximum is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. It will never be sold at the current price."
Dabao couldn't help but ask: "Look down on mainlanders?"
Ye Fan shook his head slightly: "More than that. They know that the consumption level in the mainland is low, so labor costs are low. In the computer industry in Hong Kong City, the minimum monthly salary is seven to eight thousand. Even if a person is busy for a year, the salary expenditure alone will be more than one hundred thousand . The cost of commercial housing here is 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter. Whether you work at home or rent a house, the cost alone is 200,000 yuan. Selling for one million Hong Kong dollars is not much.”
The three of them were in disbelief. They didn't know whether to complain about the high housing prices or be envious of the high wages.
After a long time, Chu Guangming asked: "Aunt Ye, if your company's employees come to Hong Kong City, will their monthly salary easily exceed 10,000 yuan?"
Ye Fan asked: "Actually, you want to ask how much money you can get if you come to Hong Kong City for a month?"
Chu Guangming blushed and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
Dabao: "When we were talking about this money, you suddenly mentioned the employees of my mother's company. Don't you think it's strange?" He rolled his eyes at Chu Guangming: "Didn't you hear my mother say that housing prices are also high? What's the use of high wages? Hong Kong City Make money and don’t even think about taking a penny home.”
Erbao: "Chu Guangming only has himself at home, there is no need to take him home."
Dabao glared at his sister: "Are you arguing? I mean that my work is in vain all year round!"
Erbao saw that Chu Guangming wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into, so he deliberately interrupted: "You blame me for not clarifying?"
Dabao suspected that his sister just wanted to make a point: "You——"
Ye Fan interrupted: "Pause for now. Guangming, do you really want to come to Hong Kong City?"
Chu Guangming was excited when he heard that he could earn 100,000 yuan a year, but when Dabao said it, he felt it was unnecessary.
With this money, you can buy several large flats in the capital and still have a lot of money left over. He rents out the house, and if his job doesn't go well in the future, the rent will be able to support him.
If you settle in Hong Kong City, you can only exchange this money for a house. Although Hong Kong City is very convenient in all aspects, he has to work all the time, otherwise he will have to sell the house and rent the house to eat and pay for it.
Although Chu Guangming likes making money and doesn't hate working, when he thinks about having to work every year in the future, he feels so stressed that he can't breathe.
Chu Guangming told the truth: "When I think about you saying that the annual salary is so high, I think Hong Kong City is good. But I think that Hong Kong City makes money and spends money in Mainland China."
Dabao: "That's a good wish! You work every day, how can you have time to go to Pengcheng to enjoy it? If you don't enjoy it, save money to buy a house, but you are in Hong Kong City, do you want a house in the mainland for you to retire in? You haven't thought about what happens. Did you suddenly fall ill and kick your legs before you decided to retire? ”
Chu Guangming was so angry and wanted to laugh: "You'd better stop talking."
Ye Fan said: "Dabao, haven't you ever thought that Chu Guang will earn half a million or one million next year?"
Dabao nodded: "It's possible. But how many years will he have to work hard, right? It's impossible for people to give him so much money as soon as he graduates. Even if he is a genius, people will have to spend some time to see if he is just cheating. Then again When he comes back, he can make a million a year in Hong Kong. He can't make that much money in the mainland, but he is definitely a treasure of the company and is accompanied by bodyguards when he travels."
Erbao: "Still a bodyguard arranged by the state. Definitely a higher social status than in Hong Kong City."
Dabao looked at his sister: "Aren't you very good at talking?"
Erbao rolled his eyes at him.
Dabao: "Chu Guangming, if you have no money, I will support you to come to Hong Kong City to work for a few years. The problem is that now that you have money, you can be as comfortable in the mainland as in Hong Kong City."
Erbao said: "My brother is telling the truth."
Dabao stared.
Ye Fan asked: "What are you two arguing about? We didn't argue when we were children, and now we want to make it up?"
The brother and sister glared at each other, turned away and gave each other the back of their heads.
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly: "Guangming, I ask you if you want to come to Hong Kong City because the house prices in Hong Kong City have been every few days in the past six months. If you want to come to Hong Kong City, I will ask my friend to accompany you to look at the house. If it is just a temporary move, there is no need. I plan to settle in Hong Kong City. I will save my money tomorrow and we will go back in two days.”
Chu Guangming asked: "Save the port city?"
Ye Fan: "You can also take it back to the mainland. Divide it into several bags and leave it there while no one checks you."
"Then let's take it back." Chu Guangming carefully counted how much he had, then divided the money into two, picked up half of it and gave it to Dabao in a small wad.
Dabao was confused, "No, here, what are you giving it to me for?"
"I made it on your computer." Chu Guangming put it in his hand and gave the other half to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan reached out and took it. Erbao couldn't help but say: "Mom, you're so welcome!"
Chu Guangming smiled and teased: "You just know?"
Erbao thought of something: "I knew it a long time ago. But I forgot about it in the past few years."
Dabao nodded: "She will take a commission from the couplets we worked so hard to write."
Ye Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Without me selling for you, how much money can you make by shouting in the park every day?"
Chu Guangming couldn't help but think of what Ye Fangang said, that he might sell it for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars if he came forward. If he didn't know how to buy out in the Mainland, he might only be able to sell one thousand. Fortunately, there were a few people who bought it. Even if he had no connections and no connections, it would be difficult for him to sell it for HK$500,000.
Now he has more than 400,000 yuan without asking for help or running around. The most important thing is that no one except Ye Fan's family of three knows that he has so much money, so naturally he will not make anyone jealous.
If there was an attack in the mainland, and many people knew about it, and the news spread, his aunt, his biological father and mother would all have to look for him.
Even if they look down on 400,000 yuan, considering that he can earn so much as a student, they must think that he can earn more in the future, and then they will pester him.
So after working so hard for so long and only getting a small share of it, it seems like a loss. In fact, it was a profit for him to avoid so much trouble.
Chu Guangming said with a smile: "I don't feel sorry for you either. Why do you two feel distressed?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Look at the bright pattern!"
Dabao snorted: "Just fool me." Turning to Chu Guangming, "She is my mother and a businessman. I really listen to her. Even if I sell you, you still think you are selling less."
Chu Guangming couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not that stupid. Besides, Aunt Ye only wants her share. For example, this time, the signature on the contract is her friend. There is no need for him to show me the contract and tell me that the price is only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. I think it’s a lot too.”
Dabao: "There is no airtight wall in the world. It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she lied to you and you will know sooner or later."
Chu Guangming shook his head: "Not necessarily. What if the person who bought my software died in a few years. Besides, if it weren't for this contract, I wouldn't even know the name of her partner. From now on, her partner will say in front of me, I used to help someone sell a piece of software and get a commission of more than 100,000, but I didn’t know that the person he was talking about was me.”
Ye Fan said: "Dabao, Erbao, learn from Guangming."
Erbao: "Mom, I'm not an adult yet. Should I give me some pocket money?"
Ye Fan put away the money and took out a ten-dollar note from his bag.
Erbao couldn't believe it: "You, you, you, you have so much money, just give me one?"
Ye Fan: "You don't have as many classmates as you do."
"I - my classmate's mother is not you."
Ye Fan said: "So I know how to make money, so I deserve to give you so much? Geng Erbao, where is your mother who took advantage of me?"
"You, you -" Erbao couldn't help her, "If you don't give me pocket money now, I won't give it to you in the future!"
Chu Guangming laughed out loud.
Erbao didn’t understand: “Isn’t it funny?”
Chu Guangming: "Even if Aunt Ye stops working now, her money will be deposited in the bank, and the monthly interest will be higher than your salary. Do you need you to give her pocket money?"
Erbao opened his mouth, but found that he had no words to answer: "You, I am your friend, she is your friend?"
Chu Guangming: "You are my friend, but you can make money by following Aunt Ye. With this money, I don't have to be a nanny for the young master and the young lady. Besides, college tuition is required now. If I don't have money, how can I pay for it?" From this point of view, Aunt Ye is my parents who provide me with food and clothing. Of course my parents are more important than my friends!”
Erbao: "Is there something evil in Hong Kong City? When you came here, it was like opening up the Ren and Du channels. You talked more than before."
Chu Guangming still had tens of thousands of yuan left to buy four large flats out of his more than 400,000 yuan. He was no longer a duckweed, and now he had a sense of security, no pressure in life, and a relaxed mind, like a carefree person. of college students.
Ye Fan said: "Guangming, divide your money into several parts and let Erbao and my mother-in-law help you pretend."
Erbao: "Mom, you don't need me anymore?" Ye Fan said: "Are you not going to eat in the next two days?"
Except for a few companies that pay for themselves, she pays for meals and transportation for Ye Fan's family and employees, no matter who follows her. But not many people followed her. Chen Xiaohui took Geng Huihui and Ye Liangliang around for the past few days. Yu Wentao felt tired, so she was either watching TV in the room or strolling downstairs. Chu Guangming and Wei Jianshe acted together, while Ye Fan only had Dabao and Erbao around him.
Almost all of Ye Fan's more than 20 employees have been here and did not need Ye Fan to accompany them, so they also moved in groups of two or three.
The salespeople didn't come, and they knew that they were different from the top students, so no one made a fuss. However, Ye Fan didn't treat them badly and gave each of them an extra five hundred yuan for the festival.
Erbao heard this and said: "I still want to buy clothes."
Ye Fan: "Didn't you buy it?"
The two cubs only had one set before. Ye Fan noticed that their bags were extremely empty and asked them to bring a set of autumn clothes and a pair of shoes. Even if they had a change of clothes, they still needed clothes and shoes when they arrived in the port city.
Sometimes Ye Fan would give them pocket money to buy milk tea, and they would put it in their pockets and let Ye Fan pay.
Ye Fan convinced her family's two brave men.
Erbao took her mother's hand and acted coquettishly: "Mom, good mother, don't you want me to dress beautifully and make you look good?"
Ye Fan: "No one in Hong Kong knows me."
"How could it be? Doesn't your partner know you? If he sees me wearing Ji's clothes, he will definitely suspect that there is something wrong with your company's capital chain."
Ye Fan sneered: "You know a lot. It's a pity that he doesn't understand fashion."
"Mom!" Erbao threw herself into her arms, "You are so rich and you still make bright money. Why don't you keep it if you don't spend it? Isn't it still mine and my brother's in the future?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Whoever will be filial to me and your father from now on will be given to him."
Dabao turned around and picked up the water on the table and opened it: "Mom, drink water!"
Chu Guangming almost choked on his saliva.
Ye Fan raised his head and rolled his eyes.
Dabao: "Mom, if you're not thirsty, are you hungry? Mom, what do you want to eat? Egg tarts or fish eggs?"
Chu Guangming couldn't stand it anymore: "Dabao, I want to eat egg waffles!"
"Buy it yourself!" Dabao said bluntly.
Chu Guangming choked and asked again: "Do you want to eat? I'm treating you."
Dabao shook his head: "I don't want to eat it!"
Chu Guangming: "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you!"
Dabao turned back and glared at him: "Are you rich? Or do you think I have no money?"
"I have money and you have money, why are you still pestering Aunt Ye." Chu Guangming knew why, so he was speechless when he said this.
Ye Fan: "Let's eat from the big family."
Erbao shook his head: "Mom is not a wealthy person, but she is my favorite mother."
Chu Guangming suddenly felt goosebumps rising.
Ye Fan: "Dad is also your favorite dad, and I never saw you asking him for money."
Erbao blurted out: "Dad has no money!"
The room suddenly fell silent.
Erbao sneered: "Mom heard wrong, I said dad is not here."
Ye Fan pulled her away: "Three pairs of shoes and three sets of clothes are enough for you and your brother! You can't wear them even if you buy them back."
Erbao subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Chu Guangming said helplessly: "The capital is covered in ice and snow at the moment. The ice and snow melt in the second month of the lunar calendar, and you can only wear what you two bought now by the end of March. There may be new styles by then."
Erbao stood up: "It seems right. Chu Guangming, put the money away, and we will go out to buy delicious food. Brother, you treat me!"
Dabao nodded and drew a big ticket: "Mom, are you going?"
It was dark outside, and Ye Fan was worried as the three of them went out in a childlike manner: "Er Bao, ask grandma if she is hungry."
Erbao jumped to the next door.
Ye Fan saw a black line on his forehead. Geng Erbao thought he was six or seven years old.
Erbao didn't feel that he was almost an adult.
Probably none of the brothers and sisters in the family are getting married, and no one is urging them. Even Geng Leilei, who will be twenty-eight years old after the Chinese New Year, does not feel that he is an older youth.
Speaking of which, Geng Huihui came back and brought her rice noodles and roasted goose legs. Yu Wentao was full, so she didn't ask Ye Fan to bring food.
Ye Fan went downstairs with the three children. Chu Guangming saw a computer at the front desk and couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Ye, is the kind of computer Dabao uses expensive?"
Ye Fan: "Where did you buy it and put it?"
Chu Guangming now lives in a large courtyard. If he brings a computer over, everyone will stare at him with suspicion. Chu Guangming sighed: "I still have to buy a house and move out."
Dabao asked: "Will the two rooms you move out become someone else's?"
The courtyard belongs to the government. Chu Guangming cannot buy, sell or rent it out. There is nothing he can do if he leaves and others move in. "I will."
Dabao asked his mother: "If the courtyard is to be demolished, will only the residents inside be allocated rooms?"
Ye Fan nodded: "If you don't make a fuss, he won't do it. It's possible to make a fuss. But it can't be divided into a few rooms, at most sixty square meters, maybe forty square meters."
Chu Guangming: "They must be too young to move."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "There are few large courtyards over there. The government can bypass the large courtyards when demolishing them."
Dabao couldn't help but ask: "What about places with many large courtyards?"
Ye Fan: "If it's not cost-effective, don't demolish it. It's not that we can't expand. But if others are willing to demolish it, it doesn't matter if one or two families are unwilling to move. They will join forces to squeeze out those one or two families, and there is no need for the government to intervene. . Also, they are very open-minded. The leaders responsible for the demolition can talk to their leaders.”
Erbao: "Even if you can only get one set of 40 square meters, it's still worth it."
Ye Fan shook his head: "You can't calculate it that way. Erbao, if there is nothing in Guangming, it is cost-effective to wait for demolition. If it is demolished after five years, he will not be able to live in a dirty and messy environment for five years just for a small house." Buy a computer——" He stopped here and said, "Guangming, you can go to your new home during the day and live in the courtyard at night."
Chu Guangming's heart moved: "Yes. In winter, the temperature is low, and there is no strange smell in the courtyard. In the winter, we live in the courtyard. In summer, when it is hot and there are many mosquitoes, we live in a new house." After a pause, "Send a small discussion with me later and ask him to move in. If it can be demolished and there are two people living in it, others will not dare to throw us out if they want my share.”
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's impossible to divide it according to the head. It's possible that one apartment will be one per household. By the way, is it two per household?"
Chu Guangming nodded: "In the beginning, there were two rooms per family. The courtyard was large, and when people built kitchens and other things in the courtyard, there were more houses."
Ye Fan: "The ones built separately don't count. Otherwise, we could build a dozen more rooms in our new home."
Chu Guangming heard this and said: "That is the fairest thing is to divide it according to household."
Ye Fan stopped and Dabao looked at the night food stall not far away: "Mom, do you want to take it away or eat here?"
Erbao: "Let's go over there. It will be cold after we pack it up and put it in the hotel."
Ye Fan saw a few long hairs sitting on a table and felt that something was going to happen. But seeing that there are four people here, and Dabao can also do some martial arts, "Come over and eat."
Maybe because Dabao was tall, those people took one look at Dabao and then looked away. Erbao sat down and several people looked up. Ye Fan turned his head and stared at the people expressionlessly. They looked away again.
Chu Guangming followed Ye Fan's gaze and felt that the temperament of those people was not right, so he asked in a low voice: "Aunt Ye, Young and Dangerous?"
Ye Fan nodded: "It's possible!"
Chu Guangming felt puzzled: "How come Hong Kong City is full of gangsters?"
Ye Fan: "Don't you know Young and Dangerous?"
Chu Guangming: "I watched it on TV and thought the art was exaggerated."
Ye Fan didn't know what to say for a moment. On the way back, Ye Fan looked at the high-rise buildings and thought: "Many modern films in Hong Kong City have prototypes."
Erbao heard this and hugged his mother: "Are there any wealthy families?"
Ye Fan nodded.
Chu Guangming: "How many wives are there?"
Ye Fan nodded again.
Chu Guangming suddenly felt disconnected: "Aunt Ye, isn't this a developed area? Why is it like a feudal society? Maybe there are also in the mainland, but no one dares to do it openly. Otherwise, there are so many people in the courtyard, and I can't listen to everything. Never heard of it.”
Ye Fan: "How do you put this? Every place has its own local characteristics."
Dabao rolled his eyes in front, his mother really knows how to talk.
The next morning, Ye Fan said goodbye to her partners and spent the afternoon buying some things she needed that were not available in the mainland. Baggage check the next morning. In the evening, everyone got on the train heading north.
Ye Fan had just moved here and didn't know anyone, so no neighbors stopped her to ask what she was doing these days.
After returning home and resting for a day, Ye Fan went to the company to ask the employees to calm down, then went to the office, and then to the store. In the afternoon, Ye Fan went to Chang Guangrong's house with a souvenir.
Chang Guangrong saw Ye Fan chatting for a few words and said, "I'll ask someone to find out. Celebrity endorsement fees are high, and TV advertising is also expensive. I don't think it's worth it."
Ye Fan: "I have an idea. You can find someone to buy a script about a senior or freshman in high school and make it into a TV series. The students will wear your clothes to school every day. If the filming is good, the TV station will give you money in return."
Chang Guangrong thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this method was good: "Students are looking for young actors, and young actors are cheap."
Ye Fan: "You don't need to look for someone who is too famous for roles like teachers and parents. You just need to look familiar. For students, go to the film school. A few dozen yuan a day is enough. Maybe it doesn't even cost that much."
Chang Guangrong: "Just do it!"
Ye Fan thought about it again: "You can also ask your friends. If anyone is interested in this industry, you can partner with him to set up a company, let him be the legal person, and sign a contract with the actors you like. After the filming of this drama is completed, Use your connections to help them arrange jobs, and you can earn commissions.”
Chang Guangrong's wife couldn't help but said: "Sister Fan, how did you get such a brain?"
