I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

In the evening of autumn, the western sky seems to be smudged with orange light from below the horizon, rendering it layer by layer and melting away from bottom to top. Against this background, the whole city gradually lights up. In the distance is the outline of the city that flickers in and out of sight, which seems unreal, while nearby there are already neon lights everywhere.

Yi Yang looked up at the neon hose on the hotel sign above his head, flashing with blurry colors, and secretly thought that such lights would probably disappear within the past two years. In the subsequent cities, simplicity and elegance would be the aesthetic trend. This kind of aesthetic also applies to lighting. The flashy feasting and feasting make people feel rustic.

After waiting for a while, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped on the side of the road. The window rolled down, and Hou Lin said from inside: "Get in the car."

Yi Yang nodded, opened the passenger door and got in.

It could be seen that Hou Lin was a little tired, but his eyes were full of light, as if he had just accomplished something great.

He gently stepped on the accelerator and the car drove forward smoothly. Hou Lin said apologetically, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

It was originally agreed to pick up Yi Yang around three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was delayed until this time, and he could only have dinner when he went back.

Yi Yang originally wanted to refuse, but after Hou Lin invited him again and again, he agreed.

There is a sense of expectation in Yi Yang's heart. This sense of expectation comes from his unfamiliar father. He can get more information about his father through Hou Lin's mouth, which makes the image of his father clear little by little. It's something he's happy to do.

"I asked your Aunt Zhao to cook some delicious food. I'll have dinner when I get back..." Hou Lin turned around and took a look while driving, and said, "If it gets too late, why don't we stay at our house for one night?" Okay, there’s room available.”

Yi Yang did not respond, but started talking about other topics: "Where is Uncle Hou from?"

"I am from a small mountain village in Sichuan Province."

"Sichuan province?" Yi Yang was a little surprised.

"Well, there are more people coming out to work in Sichuan Province."

"Uncle Hou doesn't plan to return to Sichuan Province?"

"Already settled in Hanning City."

The car drove slowly in Hanning City and passed through a somewhat blocked road. Hou Lin drove slowly with the traffic for a while. He was probably a little impatient due to the traffic jam. He frowned slightly and waited for the car to move forward to an intersection. He turned full direction and stepped on the accelerator to get into an alley.

Hou Lin explained: "It's the rush hour now, and construction is going on everywhere in the city, so there will be a bit of congestion. We can avoid the traffic by taking small roads."

Yi Yang recalled a later joke, smiled and said: "When the former mayor was here, he built an eight-lane road in the west of the city. At that time, many people scolded him and said it was a face-saving project. But after a few years, the city developed. Rapidly, there were traffic jams everywhere, and the smoothest one was the eight-lane road back then, and the people praised the mayor and said he had a far-sighted vision."

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang in surprise. He didn't expect Yi Yang to know the news. He secretly admired it. The top students who studied at the High School Affiliated to Normal University were indeed different. He also knew this joke, but it was only in the circle. I heard what others said at the dinner party.

Hou Lin said with a smile: "Yes, the city is developing so fast."

Yi Yang's heart moved and he asked: "Uncle Hou, I have a question to ask you."

"Well, you said."

"If... I mean if, if you know that a certain piece of land will appreciate in value, how can you make money through this information gap?"

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang strangely and said, "This..."

Yi Yang naturally has his own little calculations. He had no education in his previous life and didn't know anything about advanced things. But after staying in Hanning City for such a long time, what buildings will be built in which areas and what residential areas will be developed in which areas? , has developed prosperously, and he still knows these things. He himself does not know any way to make money from this information other than buying a house, but if Hou Lin has the ability, it is not impossible for him to tell Hou Lin these things.

Hou Lin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know much about other industries, but as far as the real estate industry is concerned...well, the information gap definitely plays a role, but it's not very effective."

"It doesn't have much effect?" Yi Yang was slightly startled.

"To be precise, it is now past the period when real estate entered the market... If it had been more than ten years earlier, for example, during the time when my eldest brother was here, it would have been possible... Haha, I'm going too far."

Hou Lin began to explain patiently.

“First of all, you have to understand what real estate is all about.”

"Didn't I tell you about primary development and secondary development before? Real estate is mainly secondary development. If it is simple, real estate is also simple. First, the developer acquires the land, builds houses on it, and then sells it. Get out, it’s that simple.”

"But to say it's complicated, there's actually a lot of knowledge in it."

“Let’s talk about land acquisition first. In fact, most of the land you can know has an owner. A large amount of land is in the hands of the government, and those large developers also acquired it through various channels long before the 831 policy came out. A lot of land has been acquired, so the current situation is that a large amount of land with room for appreciation is either in the hands of the government or in the hands of large developers. A lot of the wasteland you see is actually owned."

"The government and developers are hoarding land, waiting for its value to rise, and will not develop it in the short term."

“This is the first problem faced by new companies that want to enter the real estate industry today. Simply put, they cannot get land.”

"The second problem is that after acquiring the land, building a house also requires a cost. Although the real estate company's model is to let the downstream construction companies advance part of it, and then bank loans can also alleviate some cash flow pressure. But it’s not as rumored to the outside world. Real estate is really a waste of time... In other words, only companies that are large enough to play can only play with it. New small companies that enter the market need a start-up. When the cost of capital and land acquisition are added, many small companies simply cannot afford to start construction.”

"Isn't it still available for pre-sale?" Yi Yang interrupted at the right time.

Hou Lin smiled slightly: "Pre-sale? Of course you can, but you have to know that not all communities sell well."

"The third problem is the issue of selling."

Hou Lin said: "Although housing prices began to soar after 2008, it does not mean that all properties can be sold smoothly. The development of surrounding supporting facilities, urbanization process, and various factors will affect the transactions of completed properties. According to me, As we know, there are many real estate projects that have been built but no one cares about them. Larger companies can still sustain the capital chain, but smaller companies will be very uncomfortable if they cannot withdraw funds in the short term."

"As for pre-sales, most of the houses that can be pre-sold are in very good locations, and are often used by some large developers to raise funds. However, the land that new small companies can get, let alone pre-sales, is a lot The existing houses cannot be sold...for example, Hanjing Huayuan Community...oh, I'm going too far again."

Yi Yang knows this well. In the past two years, there have been plots in the Spring Festival Gala sketches that reflect the difficulty of selling properties... It is still a special period in which the home buying market is changing to the home buying market.

But when Hou Lin mentioned the words "Hanjing Huayuan", Yi Yang's heart skipped a beat. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember anything after thinking about it.

Hou Lin turned around and concluded: "So to answer your question now...you have to know which area will develop well in the future. To be honest, this news may be very advanced information in the eyes of the outside world, but For people in the real estate community, it’s not news…people who can really make money in real estate, they don’t even care if it’s news or old news, because they are the ones making the news and old news.”

Hearing this, Yi Yang's heart suddenly froze. Sure enough, even if he is reborn, it is not easy to make real money.

Forget it, let’s not think about this for the time being. There is definitely nothing wrong with reading.

Hou Lin drove to the community before it became completely dark.

This is a community within the second ring road. The houses are not as new as those outside the third ring road. There are even old and small community buildings from the 1990s in some places nearby. However, the community where Hou Lin lives in only got a house in 2007. Yes, the building is pretty good.

Hou Lin said: "I also listened to my elder brother's words and planned to buy a house early. I bought such a house in Hanning City. At that time, the house price was not even 2,000 per square meter. Now it has risen to more than 5,000! "

Yi Yang sighed secretly, in about ten years, the price here will rise to 30,000...

Following Hou Lin into the elevator and stopping on the 8th floor, Hou Lin said with a smile: "I chose this floor because the number 8 is auspicious, but later I learned that this floor is actually not very good, because this community is from 4 The second floor starts to provide water supply, but when we reach our floor, we often encounter the problem of insufficient water pressure.”

Yi Yang nodded. He couldn't express any opinion on this matter.

Walking to the door, Hou Lin stood in front of the cat's eye and knocked gently. After a while, the person inside opened the door. Yi Yang saw the person who opened the door clearly and nodded slightly: "Hello, aunt."

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman. Although she was wearing brand-name clothes, with just one glance, Yi Yang concluded that the woman was from the countryside. With that kind of temperament, she was sure to be unmistakable.

Hou Lin did not mention anything about his wife.

Hou Lin introduced: "This is Aunt Zhao."

"He is the Yi Yang I told you about, the only son of Brother Hong Yao."

This Aunt Zhao seemed even more nervous than Yi Yang, and said hurriedly: "Oh, come on, come on, come in and sit down!"

Yi Yang followed his second uncle into the house, and Aunt Zhao entered the kitchen. He subconsciously looked around. How can I put it, Hou Lin's house is not much different from the layout of ordinary city people, but maybe because of the occasional We still receive some guests, and the living room is decorated to a high standard, with red wooden floors and leather sofas.

At this time, a girl was sitting curled up on the sofa, holding a PSP game console and playing it attentively...

Seeing this scene, Hou Lin frowned and scolded: "Hou Xiaowei! Why are you playing games again?"

The girl was startled, turned her head sideways, quickly put down the game console, and sat up from the sofa.

Fortunately, the girl at this time put on simple home clothes, otherwise Hou Lin would definitely be even more angry.

Seeing his daughter in such a state, Hou Lin sighed deeply, but since there were outsiders around at this time, it was not easy for him to get angry, so he just said: "Come here and introduce this brother to you."

Hou Xiaowei ran over in slippers, stood in front of Yi Yang, and then curiously looked at the "brother" that his father had praised many times in the past few days.

Hou Lin said to Yi Yang: "She is my daughter, her name is Hou Xiaowei. Haha, when you were born, my eldest brother and I joked that if I gave birth to a daughter, ahem, I shouldn't say this..." Then he faced Hou Xiaowei. : "This is the brother Yi Yang I told you about. You are half a year younger than him, so you call him brother."

Hou Xiaowei blushed a little and seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and whispered: "Hello, brother..."

Yi Yang also felt a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly: "Hello, hello..."

At this time, Hou Lin's wife brought out the dishes and placed a full table on the dining table. Hou Lin presided over everyone to sit down and start eating. He said to Yi Yang: "When you get here, it's just like going home. Some home-cooked food, just eat whatever you want.”

Since his previous life, Yi Yang has not been a cautious person in unfamiliar environments. This is very similar to his father. It is not difficult for him to become familiar with an environment and then integrate into it, not to mention that there is another person. Hou Lin has been taking care of his emotions, so when he sat down to eat, he was already very natural.

On the contrary, Hou Lin's wife and daughter seemed very nervous.

Let’s talk about Hou Lin’s wife first. Hou Lin’s wife is indeed from the countryside. Her name is Zhao Xiuhua. In fact, her original name was Zhao Xiuhua. Hou Lin disliked the name and asked her to change it to Zhao Xiuhua.

Although Zhao Xiuhua was born in a rural area, she had lived in Hanning City for many years. Her skin was as fair as those in the city, and she had a well-proportioned figure. Even with a little makeup, Hou Lin would not lose face when he took her out.

It can be seen that Hou Lin's wife almost obeys his words, and Hou Lin almost has the unparalleled status in the family.

Hou Lin is a typical male chauvinist, but this kind of male chauvinism is not only authority but also responsibility for Hou Lin. He supports the family by himself.

A mother's attitude towards her husband determines her daughter's attitude towards her husband. At this time, Yi Yang had a new understanding of this sentence.

I originally thought that Hou Lin's daughter Hou Xiaowei was a rebellious girl, but after getting in touch with her for a while, I realized that apart from poor grades, this girl had almost nothing to do with being rebellious.

Hou Xiaowei is 16 years old, but one level younger than Yi Yang. This is the critical third year of junior high school. The reason is that she started studying earlier and could not keep up with the progress, so she was dropped one level.

Hou Xiaowei gives people an honest and dull feeling. She keeps her head down the whole time while eating. It is always Hou Lin who initiates the topic. Only when talking about some specific topics that involve her, she will ask two questions. He hurriedly raised his head and answered.

Yi Yang chatted casually. Although he was dealing with an adult like Hou Lin, the experience in his previous life and the insights he gained through learning in this life made the topic anything but dull. When the two of them chatted lively, Hou Xiaowei would secretly glance at this strange "brother". If Yi Yang noticed and made slight eye contact, she would quickly lower her head, or pretend to look away casually, but her face would blush slightly unconsciously.

After dinner, Hou Lin asked Zhao Xiuhua to clean up the room reserved for guests, and then said to Yi Yang in an unquestionable tone: "It's getting late today, so you can stay at my uncle's house. Anyway, you won't go to school tomorrow. I’ll send you there.”

Yi Yang was stunned. At this time, he could only agree: "Well, this is too troublesome...Okay then."

At this time, Hou Xiaowei began to clean up the dishes on the table silently. Hou Lin noticed it and smiled: "Hey, the sun is out in the west today, and you still know how to take the initiative to do housework?"

Hou Xiaowei pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and snorted.

Hou Lin also realized that he had made a mistake and coughed lightly.

Yi Yang hated washing dishes, but at this time he still stood up and said, "Let me help you."

Hou Xiaowei said quickly: "No need..."

Yi Yang pretended to fight for it, but Hou Xiaowei said there was no need to refuse, so he sat on the sofa with peace of mind.

Hou Lin laughed loudly, patted Yi Yang on the shoulder and said, "Men's hands are used to conquer the world. Let women do things like housework!"

After this dinner, the relationship between Yi Yang and Hou Lin has become closer. However, if Hou Lin's words were put in a situation where there were only two people, he would definitely echo it. At this time, his daughter and his wife They were all here, so they just smiled and talked about other things.

Hou Lin is becoming more and more satisfied with Yi Yang. He sees the shadow of his elder brother in him. Although he has good grades, he is not old-fashioned and not the nerd he imagined... It is really good. In the future, when he enters the society, he will bring it with him no matter what. of.

The two chatted for a while.

Hou Xiaowei probably went in to wash dishes but was shouted out by Zhao Yuhua. She got into her room. Not long after, she came out with an exercise book in her hand. She walked up to Yi Yang and Hou Lin and said timidly: "Yi Yang Brother, can I ask you a question?"

Hou Lin was stunned and his eyes immediately went straight.

Is this girl taking the initiative to do her homework today? !

Yi Yang took the exercise book and said with a smile, "Yeah, sure."

"Which one?" Yi Yang opened the exercise book and looked at the large blank spaces and said calmly.

"Well...this is the page..."

"Oh, this page?"

They were all relatively simple junior high school questions. Yi Yang said casually: "Well... OK, do you have a pen and scratch paper?"

Hou Lin smiled: "Well, Xiao Wei, you can take Brother Yi Yang to your room to do the questions."
