Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 867, I'm afraid it will scare you if I tell you!
Yang Xiaole left home and drove directly to where Huang Xintong was.

The car was parked at the entrance, and Yang Xiaole went straight to the entrance.

Huang Xintong's men recognized him and let him pass immediately.

This three-courtyard house has been renovated, but the main structure remains unchanged; the furniture and decoration are all modern.

This became very common in later generations.

Few of those who buy courtyard houses will maintain their original appearance.

The house is quite large, and there's an archway next door leading to a garden.

Huang Xintong was feeding the fish in the pavilion by the pond.

Hearing the noise, Huang Xintong turned her head, put the fish food aside, and squinted as she waited for someone to come over.

After Yang Xiaole approached, he squatted down and said with a smile, "The little guy has grown quite a bit! Is he usually well-behaved?"

With a gentle maternal glow on her face, Huang Xintong gently rubbed her belly and said with a smile, "You've been a little restless lately."

Yang Xiaole stood up, put his arm around her, and smiled.

He looked around and said, "You've done a great job renovating this house!"

The garden isn't very big, but it has water features, a pavilion, and a rockery, so it's not bad.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xintong looked around.

He said, "It's alright. A lot of people used to live here, and there were many added houses. After I bought it, I demolished it and renovated it according to the well-preserved courtyard houses in the vicinity. I feel that this style of courtyard is quite comfortable to live in."

Yang Xiaole smiled.

These days, the only people who probably feel comfortable living in a courtyard house are the wealthy.

The vast majority of people in Beijing want to escape the traditional courtyard houses and move into apartment buildings.

This is like wealthy people in later generations wanting to build a house and acquire a piece of land in the countryside, where they can grow vegetables and breathe in the rural atmosphere when they have free time.

This can only be achieved after achieving financial freedom.

He then nodded slightly: "There are local characteristic buildings all over the country. Suzhou-style garden houses are very comfortable to live in. When Suzhou develops in the future, I will get a few sets there."

The real estate market in Beijing is not yet fully open.

There are still many restrictions.

In about two years, we'll get a piece of land outside the Second Ring Road, build a park, and then build a small residential area inside the park.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After all, only he knows how many people will live in Beijing in the future.

At that time, local rural residents and people from other places will gather in this small area, resulting in a very high population density.

This can be considered as making preparations in advance.

Huang Xintong smiled and agreed, "Sure! I'll do whatever you say!"

After saying that, he asked, "I've already had someone take care of things regarding Uncle's plan to open a supermarket. Someone will be there this afternoon to demolish the walls and do the renovations."

"Moving so fast?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and then said, "Call me Uncle! Call me Dad! I'll bring my parents here tomorrow so they can get to know me."

Now that Qu Ying isn't here, we need to act quickly.

Huang Xintong shyly agreed: "Okay! Is it inappropriate to have them come over?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the Beijing Hotel, it's more convenient there."

It's nothing really, but I thought about it and decided to change it anyway.

"it is good!"

Huang Xintong smiled and agreed, then said, "The food should be ready soon. Let's go back to our room to eat; it's a bit hot here."

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Xiaole put his arm around her and walked towards the main courtyard.

"Sir, Madam, the food is ready."

As soon as I arrived, I saw an older woman speaking Cantonese come out; she was Huang Xintong's postpartum nanny.

"Okay, Aunt Wang! Thank you for your hard work."

Huang Xintong smiled and nodded, then they went into the main room together.

The room was furnished with a set of antique-style furniture, but it looked like it had been renovated.

After washing their hands, the two sat down.

There were five dishes on the table: three main dishes and a soup, plus a roast duck.

"I didn't know what you wanted to eat, so I just made a plate of roast duck. The roast duck here is pretty good; it was just delivered."

Huang Xintong looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole smiled indifferently: "It's okay! I'm not picky."

I picked up the Peking duck wrap and started rolling it up to eat.

Huang Xintong drank the soup first.

The oil in the soup has been filtered out, making it look very clear.

Only after finishing the bowl of soup did they begin to eat.

After eating for a while, Yang Xiaole finally asked, "How's the company doing lately? How's the cooperation between Red Bull and the mainland going?"

Huang Xintong smiled and said, "The business of snacks, rice cakes and instant noodles is doing well in the mainland right now. Beverages have already entered the mainland market. However, due to production license and formula approval issues, the factory construction cannot be scaled up for the time being."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Entering the mainland to do business is not something you can just do whenever you want; it involves many things.

He recalled that when Red Bull entered the mainland market, it failed to pass the formula approval process and ended up in a different location.

Initially, we planned to stay in Hainan Island, but later we went to Shenzhen.

Abroad, his advice to participate in sports became quite popular.

It sells very well overseas.

They didn't say anything; it was only a matter of time before they entered the mainland.

The two then chatted there.

Yang Xiaole, based on his experience from later generations, gave her some advice and guidance.

Huang Xintong is also expanding rapidly, building many large processing plants in key cities across the country, and developing a presence in the grain, oil and non-staple food industry.

They even moved a lot of people from the laboratories on Hong Kong Island.

Overall, it's not bad.

The company's development is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially with the huge market that has just emerged in mainland China.

Compared to many large foreign companies that are still observing, they entered the market several years earlier.

After having lunch, Yang Xiaole didn't stay here any longer.

He left with the property certificate given to him by Huang Xintong and the contract he had drafted.

First, take care of Dad's affairs.

……

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaole returned home, and her parents did not go out again.

It must have been her father's persuasion that worked.

Upon seeing him return, his mother quickly greeted him, "Xiao Le!"

Yang Xiaole placed the things on the table by the door and walked over.

"what happened?"

"I heard from your dad that you asked him to open a supermarket, you know, the kind that sells things, is that true?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "Yes! I've prepared everything. I'll take Dad to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to complete the formalities later."

"He's got no business sense; he might end up losing money for you."

The mother was there complaining.

These words drew a resentful look from Yang Guangzhi.

"What do you mean I don't know how to do business? You only worked in a grocery store for two years! You weren't much better than me!"

"That's still better than you!"

Yang Xiaole watched the two arguing and laughed.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. This thing isn't that difficult. Just start learning, and I'll find someone to give you some pointers later."

Upon hearing this, his mother looked at him and asked, "Have you chosen a location yet?"

"Okay, I've chosen one. It's on the street right in front of our house, across from the post office."

"Oh, it's not far, just a few steps away. How much did you rent it for?"

"Hey, it's your own house, Dad. Let's go, I'll take you to complete the formalities."

He was too lazy to use his own ID card.

Seeing this, the father chuckled and said, "Alright! Let's go!"

He stayed there, calling out, "Hey, Xiao Le, Wu Gang said he's having dinner at our house tonight and wants to talk to you about something."

"Okay, got it."

Yang Xiaole agreed and took his father to the branch of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

This used to be his territory, and even after several years, the camaraderie hasn't cooled.

After all, he wasn't doing anything illegal.

It's just registering a sole proprietorship.

It's not a troublesome matter.

Once the documents were submitted, the procedures were completed immediately. If it were handled at the local industrial and commercial bureau, it might not have been so quick, as it would have required approval from the branch office.

Of course, it's also because of him that if it were an ordinary person, it would basically take a week or half a month to get off.

After completing the formalities, Yang Xiaole exchanged pleasantries with the people in the bureau and then left.

……

"This is our shop? It's been renovated so quickly?"

At the entrance of the new store, Yang Guangzhi looked at the workers busy inside and asked them a question out of curiosity.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded, "Yes! It's our store, but there's one thing! You're in charge of running the store, but how you run it, the operating methods, the display—that will be decided by a specialist, understand?"

"It's just selling something! Just arrange it properly."

Yang Guangzhi muttered something to himself. Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "You don't understand. I'm thinking of opening a chain of stores, but the prerequisite is that you have to make this store successful first."

He then explained the meaning of chain stores.

Yang Guangzhi was speechless for a moment.

"You're going to make this a huge undertaking? I don't know how to do that!"

"If you don't know how, just learn!"

After a brief conversation, Yang Xiaole took him to a nearby wholesale market so he could familiarize himself with the area.

I mainly wanted to ask about the price.

There were many things to pay attention to, and Yang Xiaole kept reminding people of them.

……

In the evening, Yang Xiaole and his father returned home together.

"Little sister, Wu Gang is here!"

Once inside, I saw my younger sister and her husband coming over.

Upon seeing the two, Yang Xiaole naturally greeted them with a smile.

"Second brother! Dad!"

When Wu Gang saw him come in, he naturally greeted him with a smile and took out a cigarette to offer him.

Yang Xiaole took the cigarette and said with a smile, "Sit down, what's going on here?"

Seeing his younger sister's unhappy expression, he asked her a question.

Seeing this, the mother naturally said, "Wu Gang wants to quit his job and go into business, but your sister disagrees, so she's come to you to reason with him!"

Yang Xiaole suddenly realized what he meant.

He actually guessed part of the reason.

Looking at his younger sister, he smiled and said, "Little sister, why are you angry?"

Xiaoli turned her head upon hearing this and said, "You said he was doing well at the construction company, and I had a respectable job at the bank. Weren't we doing just fine? Why did he have to go into business! And you said you went into business too. You can be the judge!"

After listening, Yang Xiaole looked at Wu Gang.

With the opening up of the economy, many self-employed individuals have made money, which is indeed enviable.

But we still look down on self-employed individuals.

Although Wu Gang's current rank is not particularly high, he is still a section chief. If he perseveres, there is a possibility that he could be promoted to division chief.

Why did you suddenly decide to go to sea?

Although he acted like he was rich, he never said how much money he actually had, not even telling his family about the property he bought in the city.

Thinking of this, he asked:
"Wu Gang, what are you thinking?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Li, who remained silent.

He then said, "Second Brother, someone from our unit resigned and went to Guangzhou. They've been doing quite well these past few years. I'm also planning to go there. Although I don't have any connections there, I know the ways of the world, so there's no shortage of opportunities."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out there was a precedent.

"So what are your plans when you get there?"

"I'm planning to go and recruit an engineering team. I have technical and management skills, and since the leave of absence without pay can be held for three years, I want to give it a try!"

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Okay, how much money have you prepared?"

"Well... I'm planning to bring 20,000 yuan with me."

Wu Gang said something somewhat embarrassed.

After listening, Yang Xiaole looked at his younger sister.

How can he possibly persuade him?
The wave of cadres leaving their posts for business began in 92, but quite a few cadres have left their posts for business over the years.

Many people, like Qu Ying, had already entered the adult entertainment industry at a young age.

The most famous of them are naturally the six people from Vanke.

Successfully escaped the peak of the Hainan real estate bubble.

Many people know that Boss Wang is shrewd, but few people know that one of these six people is at the same level as Qu Ying.

Moreover, he is currently working for the provincial party committee on Hainan Island.

Otherwise, how could they have had such a coincidence to escape the bubble burst at the last minute?

Entering the real estate market early is not out of the question.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think it's a good idea, but you don't have enough money. I'll invest in a share; I'll provide the capital, and you can run the business. We'll then share the profits according to our shareholding. What do you think? Starting small will make development too slow."

These words surprised Wu Gang.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at his wife.

Collaborating with my second brother is also a good option.

Firstly, it would dispel his wife's concerns, and secondly, his second brother seemed to be wealthy, so he wouldn't have to start from the bottom.

Only he knows how much capital is required for real estate development.

With that in mind, he agreed: "Sure! How much can you contribute, Second Brother?"

"It depends on how much you want! Just name your price, and I'll have someone call it for you tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang chuckled and said, "There's no set number for that! Of course, the more money the better! If you have less money, start small; if you have more money, start big."

"That's why I'm asking you to name a number! Estimate it yourself! You're already planning to get into this line of work, don't you have a budget yet?"

These words made Wu Gang stop smiling.

After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Several hundred thousand?"

He knew Yang Xiaole owned a car worth around 300,000 to several hundred thousand yuan, so it wasn't impossible for him to afford it.

Yang Xiaole laughed upon hearing this: "Such a small appetite! Fine, I'll give you 200 million."

His words surprised everyone.

Even Wang Qiuju's parents were extremely surprised.

How come this kid is so rich?
Wu Gang stared wide-eyed for a moment before regaining his senses and asking, "Second Brother, are there any conditions?"

Xiaoli, who was standing next to her, was also surprised.

She works at a bank, so she naturally knows what that much money means.

"Second brother, how come you have so much money? With this much money, you might as well put it in our bank to help me achieve my performance targets! Which branch do you put it in?"

Yang Xiaole looked at her and smiled, "We'll talk about that later."

Instead, she looked at Wu Gang and said, "What conditions could I possibly have? You don't need to pay anything. I'll give you 20% of the shares. My sister will have 20%, and the rest is mine. What do you think?"

Giving my younger sister some shares is also because I'm worried that this guy might cause some trouble in the future.

After all, with money, anything can happen.

He cannot change human nature.

"That's it?"

Wu Gang was dumbfounded.

"Yes, that's it."

Setting too many conditions is pointless.

He has countless ways to deal with someone.

Xiaoli looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second brother, I know you have money, but it's yours, I don't want it! You can have my share! Wu Gang can't give him that much either."

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly; "It's nothing. Management shares are usually around 3%. I'll give him 20%, so I don't need to worry about it. We're all family, and your second brother doesn't need that little bit of money!"

After saying that, he asked her, "What is your deposit-gathering target for this year?"

At that time, per capita income was low, so the task of attracting deposits was not as demanding as it is in later years, which often involves tens of millions.

Xiaoli replied, "My target for this year is 300 million, and I've already completed half of it."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Alright, I'll send someone to your place tomorrow to help you complete your annual task."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Gang and said, "Wu Gang, what do you say? Are you going to make money slowly on your own, or do it together? But let's make it clear! I have a professional auditing team in Hong Kong. If you do anything shady, I can find out!"

Wu Gang chuckled sheepishly, "How could I dare! You'd be at a huge disadvantage if I did that!"

20% means I got 40 for free. No, add my wife's share, and I still get 40.

What does that mean?

He might never earn that much money in his entire life without the opportunity.

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll draft a contract and have it notarized to avoid any disputes later! Okay?"

Wu Gang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay! I agree!"

Two million can do two million's worth of things.

Two million can do two million's worth of things.

The meaning is different.

"Okay, it's settled then. Tell me your bank information tonight, and I'll have someone transfer the money!"

After saying that, he looked at his younger sister and said, "Someone will handle the bank matter tomorrow!"

He could leave tens of millions of dollars lying around; he doesn't lack that much money, and he wouldn't mind having a little more.

That’s settled.

It was only then that the group came to their senses.

The mother leaned closer and asked curiously, "Xiao Le, how much money do you actually have?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed and said, "There are a lot! I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you. You guys go ahead and do your business. If you lose money, your son will cover it!"

Wang Qiuju rolled her eyes: "How could I not run a lousy supermarket well? Alright, I won't ask you anymore. Just be careful with your money."

Yang Xiaole chuckled and said, "I know! Don't worry."

Wang Qiuju looked around the room, then asked, "Where are Xingxing and Yueyue? Why didn't they come over?"

"Don't worry about them. We have everything we need at home. If you're hungry, just cook something for yourself."

He didn't worry about the two little ones.

How old a person is.

Moreover, the two of them have quite a bit of money, so if all else fails, they can go out to eat.
