Those years when I raised bosses

Tong Tong is still selecting new ways to make money.Tong Tong carefully reviewed the content of policies and economic development in various newspapers one by one, compared with the key nodes of the era in his memory, and found that the world he is currently in has no deviation in the general trend.

As early as 2001, the motherland joined the WTO, successfully bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, and gradually gained popularity in the world. In January 2002, the euro officially replaced the currencies of 1 countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. In essence, it broke through the hegemony of the dollar and formed a powerful European economy. Commonwealth.Even the announcement of the first national scholarship around May 11 happened as scheduled. The first prize of 2002 yuan and the second prize of 5 yuan were set exactly as Tong Tong remembered.

In late June 2002, due to the suspension of the reduction of state-owned shares, the stock market has gradually fallen after a big wave. If there is no miracle, the next few years will be a long way to go.If you want to earn a ticket in the stock market, you have to wait two or three years. Tong Tong doesn't dare to throw his hard-earned money into the bottomless pit at this moment.

After some analysis, Tong Tong decided to give full play to his language advantages and take advantage of the enthusiasm of the imperial capital to vigorously develop international tourism. In 2001, the country just issued a notice to promote the development of tourism. Compared with local governments, the supporting policies of the imperial capital must be at the forefront.

If you just work as a tour guide and start a travel company, there are already many mature state-run groups on the market, and the entry threshold for private companies is relatively high. At the very least, you must have a tour guide certificate and a registered capital of hundreds of thousands.It is not such a formal company, it is difficult to gain the trust of foreign friends.

Although the topic of the tour guide certificate is not difficult for Tong Tong, who was born as a top student, but the earliest examination in the imperial capital was registered in August, and the examination only started in November, so the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst.Furthermore, if you really go to lead a group, how can you take care of raising a baby?

So Tong Tong thought of another solution.

At present, there are still many old courtyard blocks in the Second Ring Road of the Imperial Capital. Most of these houses are mixed with large courtyards, and the living conditions are much worse than those of regular modern communities.The advantage is that it is very close to the major scenic spots in the imperial capital, and it still retains traditional folk customs, such as Houhai, Dashilan, etc., with its own ancient charm.At that time, the concept of school district housing in Dongxi City had not yet emerged, and the location was very neat. The newly renovated courtyard house was more than 2 square meters. The ordinary small courtyard with less than 20 square meters can be bought for one hundred thousand yuan, which is different from [-]. Compared with the selling price of hundreds of millions in the next year, it is really cheap.

Of course, at this time, the most expensive commercial housing in the imperial capital, that is, the price of 1 square meters, most of them are 40 and [-] square meters, and you can buy it for [-] million.It is cheaper to sell a house in a state-owned unit to an individual. A two-bedroom high-rise building with an elevator can be settled for [-] to [-] yuan.Who would be too busy to buy an old one-story house with uneven water and coal-burning in winter?Most of the aborigines are waiting to be demolished and live in newly built houses outside the second ring road.

The price of the courtyard house has not risen, and the rent will naturally not increase.Tong Tong intends to go around these places to see if it is possible to rent a relatively independent small yard and transform it into a homestay to entertain international friends who are curious about Chinese culture and want to experience traditional life.As for how to spread the publicity of homestays, it is essential to post on various BBS forums through the Internet. You can also cooperate with regular foreign-related travel agencies to expand your influence as an experience project of traditional folk houses.

Tong Tong made a plan and bought two maps of the imperial capital. One was to mark the locations where fashion shops could be opened, and the other was to be used as a homestay.If the location can be negotiated, Tong Tong plans to take He Xiaolu to live in the second ring road and bid farewell to the remote urban village on the edge of C University for the time being.

If you can’t find a suitable place for a while, you can still save costs and continue to live in a village in the city, and contact some reliable translation jobs to make a living through the college students you met through the German translation.

The next day, Tong Tong and He Xiaolu were about to go out when they heard the voice of the landlady, Sister Liu.

"Is Mr. He here?"

Tong Tong counted the days and it was only July and a half, and the rent should not be paid yet, so why did the landlord ask him for it?

Liu Yin said through the door: "Mr. Wang called Chen Ying just now, and I said that Chen Ying had passed away, and only you and my baby were left. I was a little emotional over there, and asked for the address here, and said that it would be an hour later. arrive."

In He Liantian's memory, there is no such person as Mr. Wang. Tong Tong wondered if it was He Xiaolu's own father who came to him?Or Chen Ying's former friends came to collect the debt?

He Liantian and Chen Ying had a good relationship after they got married, and Chen Ying also talked about some of the past one after another, but never mentioned any connection with someone surnamed Wang.

But since someone came to him, Tong Tong naturally couldn't release the pigeons.I had no choice but to cancel the outing activities, and waited for others while studying at home with He Xiaolu.

In less than an hour, that Mr. Wang had arrived.Tong Tong happened to be by the window and saw this Mr. Wang get off a car with a military plate at the street corner of Chengzhong Village and walk downstairs to this building.

This Mr. Wang seems to have a background, not a small one.

Because he was thinking of moving, Tong Tong didn't add more furniture to the room. When Mr. Wang came in, he still sat on the only chair.Tong Tong doesn't usually drink tea. Apart from freshly boiled water and freshly cut watermelon, there is really nothing to entertain guests at home.

Seeing Mr. Wang for the first time, Tong Tong only felt a little familiar.Searching through He Liantian's memory, he found that Mr. Wang and Chen Ying's eyebrows and eyes were very similar.It's just that a man and a woman dress and speak differently.This Mr. Wang is probably from the military, and he has a capable and sassy temperament in his gestures and gestures. He is serious, but he is not the kind of indifference that rejects people for thousands of miles.

"You are Chen Ying's husband, Mr. He Liantianhe?" Mr. Wang's attitude was not enthusiastic, but he was obviously trying to restrain his sadness, "Hello, I am Chen Ying's twin brother, Wang Xuan."

Tong Tong wisely took out He Liantian's ID card and marriage certificate, and put the box containing Chen Ying's documents and relics on the table in front of Wang Xuan.

"So Chen Ying already has a child?" Wang Xuan took advantage of He Xiaolu to go to the bathroom, and asked carefully in a low voice, "It's only been more than half a year since your marriage certificate, why is the child two or three years old?"

"Chen Ying has always refused to say who the biological father of the child is." Tong Tong described the past of He Liantian and Chen Ying's acquaintance with emotion, and finally asked cautiously, "Since Mr. Wang and Chen Ying are twin siblings, why do they have different surnames? ? Why have you been separated for so long, I have never heard Chen Ying talk about you?"

At this time, He Xiaolu had obediently sat back beside his father, listening to the adults very politely.

Wang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "Our mother's name is Wang Shuhua. Back then, she went to a valley in the south to join the queue, married and had children there. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, she planned to resume her studies and return to the university. I was originally from the imperial capital and went to university. At that time, Chen Ying and I were both under three years old. My husband’s family disagreed, but my mother resolutely said that even if we divorced, we have to take the college entrance examination. My mother went to the county, and the court sentenced the divorce Both children were originally awarded to the mother, because the mother showed a very favorable property certificate."

When Wang Xuan said this sentence, he paid special attention to He Liantian's expression, and saw that he didn't have any wrong thoughts about the so-called property certificate at all, his eyes were always pure, and he let go of his guard to some extent.Coming here in a hurry today, Wang Xuan only had a brief look at the resumes of He Liantian and Chen Ying.When you meet a real person, you can feel the righteousness of the other person more directly. Even if you live in poverty, a single man with a baby, the room is neat and tidy.On the balcony are utensils for cooking, fruits, vegetables, eggs, yogurt, and so on. It can be seen that you will live.There are paper books with Chinese characters and English written on the bedside. Before Wang Xuan came in, the father was probably teaching the child.He Xiaolu is just a child of two or three years old. Could it be that this child is also talented like their mother Wang Shuhua?

"Is Xiaolu very smart?" Wang Xuan asked suddenly.

Tong Tong nodded: "Well, Xiaolu matures earlier than ordinary children. He knows 26 English letters and some simple English and Chinese words. He can almost remember them with his photographic memory, and his logical thinking is also good."

"Our mother is also like this. Unfortunately, our grandfather's status was not good back then, and my mother had an older sister who went to the United States. My mother was implicated and was forced to stay in the country for so long. Later, when the college entrance examination was resumed, she was always persistent. Going to university is to realize her dream of scientific research, and some research manuscripts left by our grandfather are kept in the hands of a friend in the imperial capital, which is also of great help to my mother's later research."

"Then why didn't Chen Ying return to the imperial capital with her mother?"

Wang Xuan's face showed sadness: "Chen Ying has been close to her father since she was a child. At that time, as long as she worked hard in the countryside, she would have no problem eating enough. On the contrary, when she went to the city, she needed tickets and various quotas for shopping. There were many children in the family. If you do, you will often go hungry. Although the court ruled, in the end, my mother let Chen Ying stay in the country because of our father’s pleading. Later, my mother participated in a national project with a very high level of secrecy for more than 20 years. Cutting off contact with the outside world. My father probably thought that my mother was remarried and deliberately alienated their father and daughter. In short, they cut off contact. Until my mother died of illness a year ago, I was only able to leave that base and return to The imperial capital. Before my mother passed away, she told me to find my father and sister."

"Chen Ying told me that her biological mother remarried and cut off the news, and she never mentioned you as a younger brother. Maybe it's this kind of misunderstanding that made her reluctant to mention the past because of her grudges. Unfortunately, she can no longer know the truth now." Tong Tong Tong sighed, "Chen Ying's father died of illness when she was ten years old. She lived with her uncle for a few years until she graduated from junior high school. Her hometown didn't allow her to study, so she had to go south to work with her fellow villagers. I remember that when she first got married, Chen Ying said that she was good at studying back then, she could understand all the books in class, and she was always the first in the grade even if she went home to help with farm work and did not do homework. The head teacher said that she would definitely pass the exam. The provincial key high school will go to university in the future..."

"It seems that Xiaolu has inherited her high IQ." Wang Xuan said quietly, "When my mother was alive, she always called me stupid, saying that my sister could do it at the age of three, and I couldn't understand it when I was six. I followed my sister back to the imperial capital. But I didn’t think that fate would play tricks on others. My father passed away so early. Chen Ying couldn’t continue to go to school. Instead, I enjoyed my mother’s welfare exclusively. It took a lot of effort to find Chen Ying from the Migrant Population Administration. You registered your marriage in the Imperial Capital, and you kindly gave He Xiaolu a residence permit. Your village knows that you live here, and they all have records. Otherwise, if the imperial capital is so big, I may not be able to find someone even if I spend a few more years."
