Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Hao Qiang is full of confidence and expectations for the future, as if a clear blueprint for the future has slowly unfolded in his mind.

Hey, who told him to cheat?

He hadn't achieved much in his previous life, but fortunately, he had experienced many vicissitudes of life and knew the importance of staying calm and composed in the process of pursuing goals.

Otherwise, if you become complacent with a little success, you will sooner or later encounter setbacks and failures.

When passing by a bicycle shop, Hao Qiang spent more than 5,000 yuan to buy a carbon fiber mountain bike.

He was quite satisfied with the new car, with its sky blue frame, and especially the elastic seat and wide tires, so he wasn't afraid of any bumps on the road.

Well, it also helps certain parts of the body continue to develop.

Hehe, with this bicycle, he will be able to travel more quickly to every corner of the vast campus and it will also be convenient for him to travel.

It would be even better if there was a beautiful girl sitting on the front bar. He would definitely be the most dazzling guy on campus!

After buying the car, Hao Qiang asked the store owner to install a basket on the rear frame. Although it does not look beautiful, it is practical and allows him to place items at any time.

In addition, he also bought a sturdy steel lock.

The management of the CUHK campus is very strict, but car theft still exists.

However, no matter how strong the lock is, for a real car thief, it may only take half a minute longer to pick the lock.

If they were even more brazen, they would just throw the car into a truck, drive it out of the school in a swagger, steal it back, and then pry it open with pliers.

"This group of people is wasting their wealth!"

"Die!"

Hao Qiang cursed inwardly, hoping that the car thieves would not target his car.

In the second-hand bicycle market, many new bicycles are sold at very low prices, and they are just stolen.

If Hao Qiang was short of money, he might actually buy those second-hand cars at a low price, helping the evildoers and encouraging theft.

After fixing the bicycle basket, Hao Qiang rode his bicycle out of the store.

With a little effort on the pedals, the bicycle quickly took off, and the scenery on both sides of the road unfolded like a scroll. He admired the beautiful scenery along the way, felt the breeze, and enjoyed the fun of cycling.

Many boys on the street looked at her with envy.

It’s great to have money and do whatever you want!

As funds become more abundant and business expands, buying a car will become his inevitable choice if he has social or business needs.

If you are in the countryside, whether you can drive a car is one thing, and having a car is another. Even if you don’t have one, it’s okay to have it at home and it looks good, even if it only burns a tank of gas a year.

Let’s go back to 1990. At that time, if anyone in the town bought a car, it would definitely be a shining existence.

However, even today, families with cars are the most dazzling in the village.

Having said that, those business owners may not despise Hao Qiang, but they will inevitably have reservations about cooperating with someone who lacks financial strength.

Before he became famous,

Luxury cars represent capital and strength!

In addition, there are also sentiments, convenient travel, etc., it is not just used to show off.

Unless, he has a face that looks like Boss Ma, even if he is dressed shabbily, people will greet him with a smile and give him money to seek cooperation.

Hao Qiang gently stroked his face, sighed and said, "Ah, there's nothing I can do. A handsome guy like me is destined to never become a figure like Boss Ma. What a pity."

He couldn't help but be narcissistic, then laughed at himself: Society is too realistic!

Being handsome is useless!

Haha, except for hanging out with rich women.

Well, there are also jobs that require more sex than heart.

Hao Qiang can drive and plans to get a driver's license when he has time.

After buying the car, his next plan is to rent a house.

Renting a house does not mean that you plan to move out. The school has a rule that freshmen cannot live outside, but you can on weekends.

For Hao Qiang, renting a house outside has various conveniences.

There is no water heater in the dormitory, so taking a hot shower is extremely inconvenient.

He was now a little uncomfortable with opening his heart and letting his temper run wild in a public bathroom.

Maybe people in the north are used to big bathhouses. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if a subordinate ran into his leader while taking a bath?

Anyway, as a southerner, Hao Qiang is really not used to it.

In fact, students who are too lazy to go to the bathhouse will buy high-powered hot water sticks to secretly heat water in the dormitory.

Although the school explicitly prohibits the use of high-powered hot water wands, many students still choose to take the risk.

The building manager monitors the electricity meter on the first floor and sees which dormitory's meter is running faster, and then rushes to investigate.

Generally speaking, experienced building managers only check the first and second floors just to satisfy the school leaders.

For dormitories above the third floor, climbing the stairs is too tiring and the building managers are unwilling to conduct inspections.

If it is a dormitory for senior students, the building manager will be a little apprehensive, because they tend to bully the weak and fear the strong.

In addition, Hao Qiang is too lazy to wash clothes by hand, so he is used to machine washing.

Most importantly, if you have a house, it is convenient to make hot pot base.

Hot pot base is the core weapon of a hot pot restaurant. It must be kept confidential and cannot be made in a hot pot restaurant.

Once the hotpot restaurant grows bigger, Hao Qiang plans to hand it over to his parents.

Hao Qiang rode his bike through the alleys and found that there were many one-bedroom, one-bathroom rental houses. These rental houses were converted from self-built houses, and the monthly rent ranged from 150 to 500 yuan.

The names are quite novel, such as Yiqing Pavilion, Love House, Yi Hongyan, Peach Blossom Spring, Shuxin Paradise, Hehuan Garden, Phoenix Palace, etc., all of which are full of poetry and romance.

Generally, students rent houses for two reasons: one is to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and the other is to have fun with friends of the opposite sex, such as playing tank games.

The worst thing about self-built houses is that the sound insulation is not satisfactory. Every midnight, students who are still preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination occasionally hear the swaying sound of the bed next door. It is so torturous that they want to drill a hole in the wall.

Some postgraduate entrance examination candidates are more experienced and simply wear headphones to block out external interference.

More astute students adopted another strategy. They looked for friends of the opposite sex to take the postgraduate entrance examination together. In this way, when they were tired of reviewing, they could do some activities together, combining work and rest, and the review effect would be much better.

Hao Qiang had enough money to rent a house, and he didn't want to be tortured by others. It would also be inconvenient for him to make hot pot base, so he didn't rent a house in an alley.

Hao Qiang happened to see a more formal real estate agency storefront. As soon as he parked his car and entered the store, a real estate agency manager warmly greeted him.

A real estate agency manager is not a leader. It can be said that every real estate agent is a "manager"!

Hao Qiang laid out his rental requirements: "Two or three bedrooms are fine, well-decorated, in a new neighborhood, with easy internet access, and close to Sun Yat-sen University."

The real estate agent heard this and responded with a smile: "Okay, handsome, we do have a house that meets your needs, but the rent is quite high. Is that acceptable to you?"

“Let’s look at the properties first.”

"no problem!"

The level of rent is closely related to the current housing prices. Since 2003, the real estate market in Guangdong has developed by leaps and bounds.

By 2004, the average transaction price of first-hand residential properties reached 4618 yuan per square meter, and the unit price of new properties nearby had exceeded 5,000 yuan.

Therefore, the monthly rent for a three-bedroom fully furnished apartment ranges from 800 yuan to 2500 yuan.

After listening to the introduction of the agency manager, Hao Qiang would definitely choose to live in a better place as long as the price was not outrageous.

After looking at the properties for a while, he selected three and planned to see them all before deciding which one to rent.

"How do you calculate your service fee?"

"Half a month's rent, that's the industry rule."

"There are no industry rules to speak of; they are all set by you internal people. But I don't mind that. What I hate most is any random extra fees.

Please explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't rent it no matter how cheap it is." Hao Qiang's tone was a little rude. Anyway, he really disliked some real estate agents.

The nearby properties are most likely controlled by these real estate agents. It is inconvenient to find the landlord directly, and it is impossible for Hao Qiang to spend a lot of time looking for properties.

He is not short of money, but he doesn't want to be cheated!

The agency manager noticed Hao Qiang's dissatisfaction and quickly explained: "Don't worry, handsome guy, we are a formal company.

After signing the contract, the water and electricity bills will be adjusted. If you want to add a network, you will need to pay for it yourself. The deposit is one month and the rent is three months. There are discounts for annual payments.

Hao Qiang nodded. He had rented many houses and knew the situation well.

Next, the real estate agent took him to see the house with the keys.

After looking at the three apartments for more than an hour, Hao Qiang quickly made a decision.

The house he liked was located in Baihui Garden, a community on the east side of the school. It was surrounded by all kinds of supporting facilities. It was only about 300 meters away from the east gate of Sun Yat-sen University and about 700 meters away from the small north gate.

This community is a high-end residential area with two elevators and four households. It has a beautiful environment and will be delivered in just a few years.

The house rented by Hao Qiang is in Unit 1801 on the top floor of Building 3. It has three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, with a usable area of ​​more than 100 square meters. It has good lighting, ventilation from north to south, fine decoration and complete furniture. The original landlord only lived in the house for a few months after the renovation.

Hao Qiang speculates that the landlord may be too superstitious about the saying "the 18th floor is hell" and is unwilling to continue living there. This taboo against living on the 18th floor is particularly evident among business people in Zhejiang Province.

According to the real estate agent, the next door room 1802 has also been rented out, and the only room left in this community is room 1801.

Because Baihui Garden Community is close to Sun Yat-sen University, has a beautiful environment, and has excellent apartment designs, rental properties in the community are extremely scarce.

Therefore, the rental price of this house is also very good: two thousand yuan per month!

If the price was a little more discounted, it would have been rented out long ago.

In any case, two thousand yuan is not a small amount of money these days, and many working-class people find it difficult to reach this income level.

According to statistics, the average starting salary for ordinary undergraduate students last year was only around 2,000 yuan.

Hao Qiang is not short of money, so of course he chooses to live in a better place.

If you want to save money, just rent a self-built house. Two hundred yuan will be enough.

He finally confirmed to rent the apartment, checked the water and electricity meter readings, signed the lease contract, and paid half a year's rent, one month's deposit and service fee.

After completing these procedures, you will receive the house keys.

After lunch, Hao Qiang immediately bought a new lock and replaced the original one.

By the way, ask the cleaning company to help clean and disinfect the house, and call the telecommunications company to install the network.

After taking a short nap on the sofa for half an hour, the cleaning company staff arrived on time. After Hao Qiang paid the fee, they quickly got to work.

Afterwards, Hao Qiang left home and began to busy himself with buying bedding and daily necessities.

It took me several trips in one afternoon to finish the work.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Qiang just stepped into the elevator and was about to press the door closing button.

"Please wait a moment!"

Suddenly, a soft and melodious female voice was heard.

Hao Qiang was in the elevator. Although he didn't see the person, he heard the voice. He quickly stretched out his leg and tried to stop the elevator door from closing.

The elevator was temporarily closed, but a pretty and delicate beauty ran into the elevator in a hurry and bumped into Hao Qiang's shoes, causing him to stumble.

"oops!"

The beautiful woman screamed in surprise. She managed to stand firmly, but the book in her hand fell to the floor of the elevator with a "click".

"Sorry." Hao Qiang was a little embarrassed. He squatted down to help her pick up the book and explained, "I wanted to block the elevator door, but I didn't expect to bump into you."
