1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 680 Sea Cucumber
three days later.

Xu Yaoguo really worked hard to make the old man relax. He was not slow at all and immediately told Luo Tao the news over the phone.

He was still worried about this.

I couldn't wait to visit early the next morning.

When the two met, the smile on his face was already spreading wantonly, "Brother, it's your turn to play now."

The first sentence he said when we met was so direct, without beating around the bush at all.

Seeing the rare and expensive gifts such as deer antlers and mink skins, Luo Tao nodded and promised to visit the old man tomorrow.

"Drink tea."

"I'm not used to drinking."

"Excellent Longjing."

Xu Yaoguo's eyes lit up, and he turned his face to the teacup on the table. He lifted the lid of the tea very quickly, and sniffed it with his nose, "It smells good. It's good tea. I'll take a few sips."

Luo Tao didn't bother to pay attention to him. Despite his elegant appearance, his personality was reckless, carefree and informal.

Fortunately, this kind of person no longer continues to do scientific research, otherwise... it would be unthinkable.

"What are you going to do after going to sea?" Luo Tao had already thought about his arrangements in the past two days.However, you should first ask him what he wants to do personally, so as not to end up with bad intentions.

Xu Yaoguo put down his teacup without even thinking, "Brother, what do you think about real estate?"

Luo Tao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, a man like him, who is a scientist, should not know much about the real estate industry!
He asked calmly: "Why do you want to do real estate?"

“I see that they are all working on this in the south. I have also received a lot of news in the past two years, and I feel that making money in this industry is like picking it up for free.

Brother, you are an expert. Tell me, can I do this? "

Seeing his high interest, Luo Tao didn't want to be a bad guy, "As long as you have connections, you can do it. Sunrise Industry, you can make money by joining the game. However, I'm afraid that your legs will not be saved."

Xu Yaoguo was stunned, then moved a chair closer to Luo Tao, pretending to be calm, "Brother, who dares to take off my legs in our land, don't scare me."

But after thinking about it, he felt that something was not quite right. His brain circuit was very clear and he said: "Brother, you shouldn't be rebellious! Help the old man dispel the idea of ​​going into the sea."

Luo Tao stood up and sat on the chair on the other side. Stay away from him. IQ is contagious.

"You are a highly educated person after all, why are you thinking about so many irrelevant things in your mind?" He was very disgusted.

Then he said, “Do you know why I don’t do real estate?”

"Didn't you say that you despise this little money?"

This person's brain is really stupid because of reading. He will believe it when he brags about X. If real estate is all about making a small amount of money, then there are not many industries that can make a lot of money.

Facing such a smart friend who is not always online, you must be patient.

"The reason why I don't do it is because the domestic real estate industry is still immature. The south you mentioned seems to be profitable, but in fact it is full of risks. One careless step can make people close their eyes."

"If you think about it, the per capita monthly income is less than 4000 yuan now, but how much are the housing prices in those cities in the south? 5000 yuan per square meter, [-] yuan or even higher. With such sky-high housing prices, the working class will not be able to eat or drink for the rest of their lives. Don’t even think about buying an [-]-square-meter house with your dead salary.”

Earlier this year, "Market News" reported that the capital provides more than 2 square meters of housing at 1600-1900 yuan per square meter. It would cost more than 6 yuan to buy a two-bedroom apartment. It also gave an example: A college student has been frugal since he started working. , saving 50 yuan per month, it will take 100 years to buy a two-bedroom apartment.

In the Shanghai residential market, more than 1 houses were sold at the beginning of this year, with less than one-tenth of the transactions. No one bought new houses, and the neighborhoods were empty. The reason is that the housing prices are too high for ordinary people to afford.

The current domestic economy cannot prosper as a real estate industry.

Those people in the south are all for profit, and few are down-to-earth.

Everyone uses connections to get notes, allocate a piece of land, do nothing, and then resell it for hundreds of thousands or millions.

There are also some who get the news that the road construction will pass through there, pay a high price to get it, and then...

Everyone has some oil on their hands and hair on their bodies, so no one can tell who is a monster.

Seeing that he was listening very seriously, Luo Tao said in a very firm tone: "I don't recommend that you engage in real estate."

He, Xu Yaoguo, is a young man who wears leather shoes. He cannot give up his identity just for a small amount of money.

"Then what should I do? I can't open a restaurant!"

What happened to Xindao's restaurant?
Luo Tao said solemnly: "It's not impossible if you think about it."

Xu Yaoguo shook his head after hearing this, "Brother, let's forget about opening a restaurant. I can't do this."

As one of the shareholders of Chengbei Hotel, he still has a certain understanding of the affairs in the hotel. Not only are there many things to do, but he also works very hard. It can be said that all he earns is hard money.

He is a person who is too lazy to work in the kitchen at home. It is absolutely impossible to open a restaurant. Restaurants are just about the same every day. "I can't do the real thing, so I just want to do some empty-handed things. What do you think? Do you want to lose your status? If you do the same thing as them, the old man's face will be completely embarrassed by you."

Xu Yaoguo bowed his head in shame when he said this.

He can only understand the market economy and business now, but has not yet seen the essence. Of course, he has also forgotten his own identity.There are some things he can do, and there are some things he absolutely cannot do.

"Don't worry about your affairs. I'll talk to the old man when I visit him tomorrow."

Seeing that he didn't have many ideas about going to sea, Luo Tao still planned to discuss his previous plan with the old man.

Over the years, apart from Huang Yuanchao and the others, he has had few helpers in the business field, especially no support from within the circle.

The distribution of cakes from Xichang Distillery was done by Luo Tao as a last resort. The purpose was to lure insiders into the water. Only in this way would he not be suppressed by insiders everywhere in the future.

In addition, Luo Tao actively participates in mass work. These are also things that must be done to avoid being bullied. Forging iron requires one's own strength, and external forces will not last long.

Status determines destiny.

Now Xu Yaoguo wants to go to sea, which not only has great significance for him, but also has an extraordinary impact on Luo Tao.

Xu Yaoguo will be Luo Tao's gate to pull people into the water again. Once it is opened, everyone will be a fish in the water.

Luo Tao planned to let Xu Yaoguo join the Yuanjiang Company registered under the name of Xu Le and manage this company, which was engaged in shipping, but now it is doing the business of Pili Bara.

The north is starving, and the day has come when bread can be exchanged for cannon.

The financial oligarchs in various countries have also taken action. The personnel from Yuanjiang have entered since the beginning of the year. Now they are doing a good job. They often exchange bread and milk for AK. At the same time, they also made many green officials. This year, they plan to do some work. Big business, change some boats, bigger boats that can fire guns, and planes that can flip.

If those green guys are interesting enough, mushrooms can be grown too.

Facing the rapidly growing Yuanjiang, he urgently needed a manager he could trust and have the ability to take charge of Xiangjiang.

Now Xu Yaoguo is the best candidate.

Xu Yaoguo asked about the specific content, but Luo Tao smiled and did not respond, saying that you would know tomorrow.

In this regard, Xu Yaoguo was very helpless and had no choice but to drink tea like a cow drinking water to dilute the doubts in his heart.

While it was still early, Luo Tao invited him to take a stroll in the yard.

When going out, Xu Yaoguo said: "I'll go to say hello to my sister-in-law first, they are all from my own family, and you can cook seven or eight dishes, so don't waste too much time."

Luo Tao looked at him and said angrily: "You really don't think of yourself as an outsider." He thought he would go back if he didn't eat today, but it turned out he was still thinking about the food.

He chuckled and patted Luo Tao on the shoulder, "My sister-in-law cooks, and it's not you who cooks. Why are you so angry?"

"That's my wife." This kid came here deliberately to make him angry.

"Brother, I was wrong. I only remembered that you were afraid of my sister-in-law, but I forgot that you still loved my sister-in-law." He admitted his mistake first, but then he used every opportunity to tease Luo Tao.

"Get out of here." The more I looked at him, the more I wanted to kick him.

Zhu Lin, who was busy in the kitchen, listened to the conversation between the two and walked out wearing an apron. He pointed at Xu Yaoguo and said, "Yaoguo, don't fan yourself to fan the fire. Your brother and I have always respected each other in life. No." There is a question of who is afraid of whom."

Seeing Zhu Lin, Xu Yaoguo was immediately frightened, "Sister-in-law, I'm just teasing my brother, don't take it seriously."

Zhu Lin pretended to be angry, "Don't hit your brother with this matter when you go out. He is also a senior clerk now, and he must pay attention to his dignity."

When these words reached Luo Tao's ears, why didn't they sound like good words?
"That's right, that's right, my sister-in-law said, I've forgotten all about it." Xu Yaoguo is also a person with a heart, and he also heard the teasing voice in Zhu Lin's words. He turned his head and looked at Luo Tao with a smile, "Consultant Luo, Senior Clerk, amazing."

"None of you can eat the grapes. It's not a sour grape. It's my honor to serve you." Luo Tao walked into the kitchen with proud steps.

Seeing Sister He who was preparing the ingredients for lunch, she said loudly: "Sister He, remove the sea cucumber and abalone from the menu and replace them with green vegetables and bean sprouts. I'm tired of eating meat every day."

Sister He was stunned.Zhu Lin hadn't spoken yet, and Xu Yaoguo, regardless of etiquette, ran over and pulled Luo Tao, "Brother, you are tired of eating sea cucumbers and abalones, but I am not tired of eating them. Sister He, what are you going to do as you arranged before? Qian Don’t waste food.”

Smiling, he pulled Luo Tao to sit down, "Brother, it's the same for you. If you can't eat these things, you should have told me earlier! Me, my wife, and your eldest nephew all like to eat them."

"Your family lacks these things."

"There's no shortage, but I don't eat it often."

The rare seafood is very expensive no matter when it arrives. In addition, the current breeding technology is backward and the transportation is inconvenient. The price of seafood such as sea cucumber and abalone is extremely high, and they are all dry products. It is difficult to eat fresh ones. .

Most people can't afford it, but for wealthy families, it's okay to eat sea cucumbers with poor quality once in a while.

In addition to Xu Yaoguo's family reasons, he and his wife are both highly educated, and their salaries are not low. He himself also owns shares in the Chengbei Hotel.

For the record: 491 days, 200 million words.
