Mixed in 1980

Chapter 178 Give You Some Land

"Lao Gu is a very righteous person. We did business together before, without even an agreement. He has not deducted a cent from us."

Xu Jinqiu had no doubt about this.

With such a successful business, there is no doubt about Lao Gu's character: "That's not what I'm asking. Do you really believe that Lao Gu can build a TV factory?"

Chen Fan opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and let Xu Jinqiu, who was not drunk, drive: "Don't doubt my judgment of people. Just like when I first saw you, I knew you were destined to be my wife. For someone like Lao Gu, I knew at first sight that he was a partner."

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes and teased, "When you first saw the eldest sister, did you think she was also your wife?"

"..." Chen Fan was disappointed.

Xu Jinqiu haha, started the car, and casually asked about the matters of the TV factory. She didn't get involved in the specific matters.

After staying in Yangcheng for another two days, Xu Jinqiu left the car to Chen Min, and returned to Beijing with Chen Fan, holding Zhang Xiaoxi.

Her daughter was going back to the capital, and Chen Min, the biological mother, was not reluctant to let her go. Instead, Sun Hongyu, the godmother, was in tears and wanted to keep the little girl.

But there was nothing I could do. I had to run a factory here and do a lot of other things, so I couldn't take care of the little girl. I could only coax her and go to Beijing to see her when I had time.

The little girl was reluctant to leave and was a little depressed, but when she returned to the Chen family compound, her aunt took her for a walk and her mood quickly recovered and she started to play around the yard.

"What's going on with your sister?"

Guan Yuemei still had a bad face towards her son. This little bastard had made a lot of trouble. Now only Chen Yi was left by his side, as he had two biological daughters and two adopted daughters.

"I'm busy. I just acquired 20 acres of land in Yangcheng to build a factory. I guess I won't be idle before the Chinese New Year. I just need someone who knows the business to help me."

Chen Fan took his mother's arm and sat down, grinning, "Your daughter has never made furniture before, how about asking my dad to come over and help? Let's build the factory."

Guan Yuemei frowned slightly and glared at her son.

How could she not understand her son's thoughts? He just wanted his father to take a break. After all, the family was not short of money, so there was no need for him to work in a factory for that little salary.

In the words of my son, that's called eating without suffering.

In the past, she would naturally disagree, but during this trip to Hong Kong, she also felt that some concepts needed to be changed and could no longer be the same as before.

My husband's one-year workday is not as good as his one-day trip to Hong Kong. There is really no need for him to work in a factory anymore. He might as well help his children with this time.

"I'll talk to your dad tonight."

"That's right. Let my dad apply for internal retirement, or sell the position. There are many people who want the job now." Chen Fan said.

Guan Yuemei hummed and said no more.

I'm too lazy to talk to my son.

Anyway, she is dissatisfied with her son now. Originally, her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and goddaughter were all there, and it was lively and bustling. It is not as deserted as it is now.

In other words, Guan Yuemei did not understand Li Qingzhao's poems, otherwise she would have come up with the line: cold and desolate, sad and miserable!
Chen Fan saw what his mother was thinking and said, "Now that we have a car at home, it's convenient for school. Qiu'er and I are planning to move back home. What do you think?"

"Really?" Guan Yueming's eyes lit up.

Although Qiu'er is not as good at coaxing people as Yuanyuan, she can still get along with me and is much better than my son. As for my son, that's not important.

"I'll move back after the final exams are over."

Chen Fan nodded and said, "There is one more thing. I plan to renovate the courtyard at No. 16 Yaer Hutong and move there in the future. It will be more lively with more people."

"Moving again?" Guan Yuemei was stunned.

How long has the Chen family been renovating? At most, only a year and a half, and everything is still new.

But she had no objection to moving to Yaer Hutong. The environment there was better than that in Nanluoguxiang. The Xu, Zeng and Zhao families were all there, so it wouldn't be lonely if they moved there.

"You have to make the arrangements yourself and find someone to renovate it. You won't be able to move in until the end of the year."

"I'll arrange it during the summer vacation. I'll find someone to design it."

Chen Fan agreed and returned to the courtyard to tell his wife about the matter. Xu Jinqiu was naturally happy because she could go back to her parents' home whenever she went out.

"Isn't it too wasteful? We spent a lot of money on decorating our yard."

"We don't need these."

"..."

Xu Jinqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Such arrogant words were spoken, but that was how he was. He was used to spending lavishly. He would never save money even when he earned several thousand yuan in royalties before, let alone now.

But this is also good. Chen Fan can make money and likes to make money, but he doesn’t take money too seriously. To him, money is just a tool.

This is better than many people who can lose their conscience for money, leading to rifts between couples and broken families. At least she doesn't have to worry that Chen Fan will one day become a slave to money!
The next day, Xu Jinqiu returned to school for classes. The final exam was coming up soon. She had missed a lot of schoolwork during this period and had to make up for it.

At least I can’t fail the course!

When Xu Jinqiu was admitted to university, she was full of ambition, but after two years of college life, this is all she has left.

My brain is really not as good as those top students. They can easily reach the top, but no matter how hard I try, I can only barely keep up with the class.

Xu Jinqiu sometimes thinks that apart from her beauty, she is actually a very mediocre girl.

I have also discussed this topic with Chen Fan, and Chen Fan always looked surprised: "Student Qiu'er, you can't have all the good things. You can't have both good looks and intelligence."

So, I'm just a vase?
Every time Xu Jinqiu wanted to bite her, she thought, "Sister, you are a college student after all. There is no way you can be a vase. Let's wait and see after graduation."

Chen Fan did not go back to school. He drove to the Foreign Trade Department to find Sun Shaojie: "Brother Sun, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?" "What else can I be busy with? As soon as I open my eyes, I think about foreign exchange. As soon as I close my eyes, I still think about foreign exchange. I am almost worried to death. It is really difficult to earn some foreign exchange these days."

Sun Shaojie welcomed the person to his office and made a pot of tea first: "You don't know, several departments are looking for us, and we are not in charge of foreign exchange, what's the point of looking for us."

Chen Fan smiled. This was the current situation.

The rabbits in the 1980s were so poor that they dared to sell everything abroad. However, no matter what they did, there was not enough foreign exchange.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Fan asked, "How much do you want this time?"

"1200 million Hong Kong dollars, is that possible?"

"no!"

"Huh?" Sun Shaojie was stunned.

This kid doesn't play by the rules. How could he not have this little money?

"Awakening Age", "The Matrix" and "The Hunger Games" are hot-selling movies outside. He knows all the information about Chen Fan except futures investment.

"I really don't have any for now. I've already invested all of it. If you're not in a hurry, I can provide some foreign exchange after the Chinese New Year."

"Have to wait until after the New Year?" Sun Shaojie frowned slightly.

There is still half a year until the Chinese New Year. With such a long time, the project may have variables: "Half a year is half a year, we can only delay the project for now."

"Is the foreign exchange gap so big now? Can't we divert some from other places?"

Chen Fan remembered that the foreign exchange reserves had been growing in recent years, and at the end of the year, there was still a surplus of several billion US dollars.

"We definitely have some foreign exchange reserves, but foreign exchange is hard to come by, so we need to use the best resources where they are needed. Projects that need foreign exchange have to wait in line."

Sun Shaojie took out a cigarette, handed it to Chen Fan, and said with a wry smile: "The one who needs foreign exchange this time is one of my senior brothers. He keeps making trouble every few days. I can hardly stand it anymore."

Chen Fan burst out laughing. No wonder.

As for acquaintances, the better the relationship, the more noisy they are, especially when they call each other brothers. They use each other's strengths when they encounter difficulties, and spit at each other when nothing happens.

"There's no point in complaining to me. I can't afford it now anyway. After the New Year, I can give you the amount and see if you can afford it."

As he spoke, he held up three fingers.

Sun Shaojie's eyes lit up: "3000 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Beautiful knife!"

After the futures are delivered, Chen Fan will not be short of the money. The country is short of foreign exchange, and finding an outlet for the funds here is a win-win situation.

"Are you kidding?" Sun Shaojie rubbed his hands.

Thirty million US dollars is not a small amount of money. We have to export a lot of soybeans, peanuts and cotton to earn back this money.

But he also wondered where this guy got the money.
"I'm free, why would I come to you so early in the morning to make fun of you? I definitely have the money, but I have to spend it."

"Same as last time?" Sun Shaojie sucked his teeth.

Buying jade and jadeite are no big deal. Not to mention 30 million US dollars, even if he wants goods worth 300 million US dollars, he can get them.

But Chen Fan still wants the house, which makes it difficult.

He has never had enough houses. Last time, in order to get him one, several departments were busy with the task, and it almost drove him crazy.

And how much was it last time, how much is it this time?

It's not on the same level.

"Jade, jadeite, antiques, and famous paintings and calligraphy are all fine, but there is a prerequisite. You have to guarantee their authenticity. These can be used as a partial compensation."

Chen Fan coveted antiques, but he never thought of touching them.

The pitfalls of this thing are too big and too deep, but since it has official endorsement, Chen Fan is still willing to collect some, even if he doesn't need them himself, at least to keep them as a family heirloom.

However, he also knew that even with official endorsement, he would not be able to get many fine products. Cultural relics shops recycle cultural relics, and the fine products are sent to museums.

"How much can it be worth?" Sun Shaojie was more concerned about this.

As long as Chen Fan is willing, he can transfer goods worth 30 million US dollars in less than a week to fill this hole directly.

"half!"

"A little more, I won't cheat you, I will definitely get you something good, you won't lose out."

"Do you think I believe it?" Chen Fan laughed.

Brothers, I can take responsibility when there is something to do, and I can cheat when there is nothing to do: "Anyway, it's just half, and I want a house for the remaining half, or the places I mentioned before."

Sun Shaojie stopped pretending and leaned back on the sofa: "I'll go to hell with you. Where can I get you a house worth 15 million US dollars? How about I give you the Forbidden City?"

"May I?"

"You are just asking for trouble. Anyway, forget about buying a house. There are too many and I can't satisfy you. How about I get you some land?"

PS: The second update is here. Do you guys still have tickets?
