1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 526 Chapter 528 Friendly Transaction
Only the passing of time makes us notice time.

The year 1988 came very suddenly.

No one paid much attention to it, and it came before no one had time to care.

1988 1 Month 1 Day.

This day is the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar year, and it is also the beginning of the year. This time was determined after the founding of New China.

As for the Republic of China, the calendar also used the solar calendar, but January 1st represented the "New Year" rather than specifically New Year's Day.

During this period, the calendars adopted by the north and the south, official and private were different, and it was basically fixed until the middle and late Republic of China when compulsory measures were adopted.

The "New Year's Day" holiday during this period should be the longest New Year's Day holiday in history, with a total of seven days.

But in the traditional sense, "New Year's Day" refers to the first day of the first lunar month. This date started from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

On this day, the most representative Tiananmen Gate Tower in the capital was officially opened to the outside world.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Tao and his family also boarded the city gate tower early.

Luo Tao is also considered a member of the palace, but this is also the first time he has stood on the city gate tower and looked southward towards Chang'an Street, Tiananmen Square,...the central axis.

Standing on the lower level of the city gate, you can see the majestic scenery from above. Now, standing on the upper level of the city gate, you can feel the grandeur of "seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance".

Since Luo Tao and Zhu Lin were both well-known, they took their children and left quietly without staying on the city gate tower for long.

When he got home, Luo Tao pointed at Little October and muttered: "It's just you who want to see it. It's better now. The hat is all squeezed off."

Little October held the thermos cup and said nonchalantly: "I don't like wearing hats."

"Okay, you are right."

The father and son had a few quarrels at home.

Unexpectedly, it directly triggered the "Shekou Troubles" in the south, a fierce collision between new ideas and old concepts.

This was a symposium held by a group of experts, scholars and young people in the Shekou Investment Building on January 1th of this year.

It's a bit of a turmoil, but this symposium truly showed the changes in the concepts of the Chinese people in the late 80s, especially the younger generation.

What turned this "friendly" symposium into a "turmoil" was that some experts and scholars believed that someone went to Pengcheng with a bad purpose, just to get a piece of the wealth created by others.

The younger generation, on the other hand, does not believe that there is nothing wrong with making money as long as it does not violate the law.

The direct motivation of some people to go to Shekou is to make money, but objectively they also contribute to the construction of Shekou, and there is nothing wrong with them.

This is the focus of this "turmoil". There is nothing exciting about it. It is just a tentative collision between old and new ideas.

The real collision has not yet begun, but it has been quietly brewing.

Luo Tao really likes newspapers and media to report more on domestic reform topics.

On the 15th, the higher authorities carried out reform of the housing system, known as "housing reform" in history. At the meeting, it was decided that housing must be commercialized and China really must enter the real estate era.

As soon as the meeting ended, Wen Xieli hurriedly brought a car to visit the Luo family.

"I said thank you, why did you come to my place today?" Luo Tao asked him knowingly after inviting him into the living room and serving tea.

"Oh, my good brother, don't make fun of me. What am I doing here? You still don't know."

He came to Beijing with his mother at the end of last year and spent most of his time in China for more than a year, looking for business opportunities.

The Elephant Instant Noodle Factory he founded in Beijing, despite its short history, is very famous, and it can be said that everyone in the capital knows everyone.

I can't say it tastes good, it's just so-so, mainly because it's cheap.

If you take two packs of instant noodles from someone else's house, you can buy three packs at his house.

As for the taste, I can't blame him. The main reason is that it was his first time making instant noodles and he had little experience.

Although I have lost a lot of money over the past year, I have also gained a lot, such as getting to know the main leaders of the capital and receiving praise from the citizens of the capital.

Luo Tao used to think that this guy was just a rich second generation who went to the countryside to experience life, but he didn't expect that he was fishing.

After fishing for more than a year, I finally caught the housing reform.

When Luo Tao took him seriously, he realized that this kid was really talented.

Take the real estate industry that started to rise in the south last year. Others were struggling to get into it, but he took his time. Even if he cooperated with Huang Yuanchao to win four pieces of land, he showed little interest.

Luo Tao chatted with him and found out that this guy was definitely a talent in the real estate industry.

He said something to Luo Tao, "Since ancient times, whether at home or abroad, it is rare to see housing prices in the capital being lower than in other cities."

When Luo Tao heard this for the first time, he had a feeling that this guy is also a space-time stowaway, right?

How can one see so far and see so clearly?

We must know that in the late 80s and early 90s, the housing prices in Qiong Province and southern coastal cities were flying on pigs. The highest housing prices were over [-], and the average prices were above [-].

Think about it, the salary income of ordinary people during this period is only a few hundred yuan a month at most.

It costs thousands of dollars at a time. With that little salary, most people will not be able to buy their own house in their lifetime.

Not going to the sea?What else can you do?

The fact that housing prices are higher than incomes is not new in the new era, it has been around since ancient times.

When Luo Tao got to know him again, a question arose in his heart?He is such a visionary real estate developer. Why haven’t I heard of him in my previous life?

Luo Tao smiled and continued without answering his words, "It's not urgent, let's have tea."

His eyes froze for a few seconds before he came to his senses and picked up the tea cup, "Okay, it's been a long time since I came to your house to ask for tea."

"Then you should drink more today and don't leave at noon. The folks from the south sent me some game meat two days ago. You might as well try it."

Every year, there are fellow villagers who are helped by Luo Tao. They are also considerate and will send some wild game during the Chinese New Year.

Luo Tao also sent them something in return.

When I have time, I will learn more about their current living conditions in detail. If they are in difficulty, I will give them full support. If it is no longer difficult, I will continue to support them.

In my heart, I hope that they can quickly find a way to get rich and go to a well-off life.

After going back and forth, although some people have never met, they have become friends who are both strangers and very familiar.

Luo Tao also likes to make friends with them. They are very poor and backward, but they are very simple and have no bad intentions. This is what makes Luo Tao most gratified.

It is often said that if you do good deeds, don't worry about the future. But if you really meet a white-eyed wolf, it will still affect a person's state of mind.

"Then I'm in a good mood today." It was very difficult for him to speak the Beijing dialect. He had the sound but not the flavor.

People in the capital are famous for being "lazy" in speaking (some, but not all). Words that are difficult to say appear to be very light in their mouths.

As for whether others can hear clearly, they have no control over it.

This capital dialect he learned made not only Luo Tao happy, but even the little girl was happy.

Holding the new toy, she walked over to Wen Xieli and said, "Uncle Wen, what you said is wrong, you should say this: Then I am lucky today."

When the little girl said these words, she knew how delicious Wen Xieli's Beijing flavor was.
Although the girl's voice is still very immature, it is very crisp and clean, and like nothing else, it sounds really bright even without subtitles.

Wen Xieli laughed first, then put on a straight face, pretending to be angry, and said to the little girl: "Zhen'er is not good at all now, and Uncle Wen is very angry now."

What the little girl did next made people laugh even more, but it was also a little embarrassing. "Huh, I'm still very angry. Uncle Wen, you are just a dog biting Lu Dongbin..."

Luo Tao on the side quickly stopped the little girl's "childish talk".

"Don't talk nonsense, please tell Uncle Wen that you're sorry."

Luo Tao hurriedly apologized to Wen Xieli, who was looking very bad. "Xieli, this child has been spoiled by us all. Don't take it seriously..."

Luo Tao said a lot of good words, and Wen Xieli smiled heartily, "Brother Luo is serious, and Tong Yan is not afraid,... Besides, Zhener didn't say anything wrong? She helped me correct my accent, but I still said something wrong." Come here to scare her, it's my fault first."

The reason why an adult is called an adult is that he corrects his mistakes when he realizes them.

This is wrong because he... forget it.

He actually stood up and apologized to the little girl, which Luo Tao didn't expect.

I was somewhat shocked in my heart. This person with Western education is just different.

Although they are all selfish, everyone is also a "gentleman".

Luo Tao also forced the little girl to apologize to him, and the dialect crisis was finally over. But afterwards, the little girl was depressed for a long time. She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

After the little girl left, Luo Tao talked to him about the main topic, "The housing reform is already a done deal, so don't worry about it happening overnight.

I am determined to do this well this time and will not be timid... The opening may not be very big, but once it is opened, it is impossible to close it. "

Nowadays, the average housing area per capita in Beijing is just over four square meters. The housing problem also needs to be solved urgently.

Since the beginning of the reform and opening up, residential buildings have been built on a large scale. Many buildings have been built, but the housing problem of Beijing residents has not been greatly improved.

This is not only the case in the capital city, but also major cities across the country are facing this problem.

This has promoted the process of commercialization of domestic housing.

"I believe in the above policy, but I don't know how to explain the detailed policy?"

There is a strategy at the top and a ladder at the bottom.

He implicitly told Luo Tao that he wanted to take a shortcut.

Detailed policy?Only the leader who is specifically responsible for this matter knows what the detailed policies are. Others do not.

Luo Tao became very cautious when dealing with this issue, smiled, and invited him to tea again.

Wen Xieli didn't say anything?Always greeted with a smile and waiting patiently.

……

Half an hour later, the two came out of the study with bright smiles.

Wen Xieli's smile revealed his anxiety, "I still have some things to do in my company, so I won't bother you too much... When my brother has time someday, I'll treat you..."

Luo Tao wanted to say in his heart: "It's because I don't have time. It's obviously because you don't have time."

The two had just settled down, so Luo Tao certainly couldn't keep him at home to have a real meal.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wen thanked Li and apologized to Luo Shaoyi and others. He didn't even have to draft a lie, he just opened his mouth.

Several people believed him and did not dare to keep him any longer, so they sent him out of the gate with courtesy.

After he left in the car, Luo Shaoyi said with emotion: "It's really not easy for this kid. He came out to work hard at a young age."

After entering the hospital, he said to Luo Tao: "Tao'er, when Xie Li encounters any difficulties, remember to help him."

"Hey! Don't worry, I'll remember everything."

Luo Tao thought to himself, "How can I not help him? I just bought a bag of instant noodles from him at a low price."

Luo Tao was not taking advantage of the situation, nor was he buying or selling by force. Everyone was doing this voluntarily.

Luo Tao helped him make friends with people above him and helped him acquire a piece of land next to the International Trade Center through legitimate means.

In turn, he sold the Elephant Instant Noodles Factory to Xichang, half selling and half giving it away.

He has met many people in Beijing over the past year, but none of them can help him 100% in this matter.

It is not something ordinary people can do if they want to win the land around China World Trade Center during this period.

After lunch, Luo Tao really felt sorry for Wen and felt sorry for this guy's bad taste.

It will not be easy to eat such authentic wild pork in the future.

After taking a short rest after lunch, Luo Tao began to work on the matter of thanking him.

Luo Tao doesn't particularly have the moral integrity to take people's money and eliminate disasters for them.

It's really because he also wants to get a piece of land there to build his own office building in Xichang, so as not to rent someone else's building.

Luo Tao spent two days running up and down on this matter, and only after finding more than a dozen people in charge did he finalize the matter.

This is Luo Tao's personal job. If it were anyone else, he would have to break his legs to get a piece of land.

After receiving the exact reply, Luo Tao wrote back to Wen Xieli and asked him to prepare relevant materials to discuss specific matters with the personnel in charge of specific affairs.

Luo Tao in Xichang left this matter to Hou Ming, who had been left out for several months and was gradually sober.

The matter of the Elephant Instant Noodle Factory was handed over to Qin Chun, and she was asked to organize personnel to develop new flavors of instant noodles as soon as possible.

If it continues to inherit the same taste as before, it is not far from bankruptcy.

Luo Tao really wanted to tell them the recipes of those instant noodles in later generations, but after thinking about them all night, he remembered that they had the flavor of pickled cabbage, chopped pepper, braised in soy sauce, and spicy. Apart from these, instant noodles and dry noodles, he couldn't think of anything else.

Just thinking about it... I really want to eat it.

Although instant noodles have always been the crown of unhealthy food, but once in a while, it still feels delicious.

In the middle of the night, despite the severe cold, Luo Tao put on his coat, turned on a flashlight, stepped on the moonlight, and walked into the kitchen with difficulty, his legs trembling.

After rummaging for a while, I finally found it in a cupboard and was about to take out instant noodles from the cupboard.

"Who?"

Su Guilan held the flashlight and pointed it at Luo Tao's figure.

This is also a tactic.

The sound just now really scared Luo Tao. It was already very cold, and it would be even colder if she scared her like this. If there wasn't a kitchen table to hold on to, Luo Tao would...

When you regain your senses, you can identify the sound clearly.

"Mom, why are you still not sleeping?"

"Huh!"

"I still want to ask you. If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?"

"I'm hungry. Looking for something to eat."
