Get something in the courtyard

A few days later, Wei Guo came quietly and said that someone wanted to buy a house and wanted US dollars.

"Didn't we talk about gold last time? Why are you talking about the US dollar again?"

Whether it was dollars or gold, Wang Kun had them all. In the past, every time he used his space skills, he used them to get food. Other things were useless.

Although the country's resources are not abundant now, there is no need to be so nervous. Using space skills to get food is a bit of a waste of talent.

After Weiguo found him, he used his skills to get a sum of US dollars and gold from the United States.

When I went to Li Yunsheng's home to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, I learned from him that a thief had appeared in the United States.

Gold was taken out and it was explained that many people privately hoarded gold. But the US dollar is different. The amount in the country is much less than gold.

"Isn't it because you think the US dollar is easier to carry?" Wei Guo explained.

"Are they smuggling or leaving openly? If they are smuggling, of course gold is better. The US dollar is paper. If something happens at sea and it gets wet, wouldn't it be useless? Besides, the foreign exchange control is so strict now, where can I get US dollars?"

Wei Guo was stunned for a moment and said, "What you said seems to make sense. Do you really not have any US dollars?"

"I have a little, about a dozen dollars. It's not worth changing for such a small amount."

When Wei Guo heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and turned around to go back and make contact.

A few days later, he came to see Wang Kun with a man in his forties.

After Wang Kun confirmed that everything was correct, he asked him to sign an IOU, which stated that he had borrowed money from him and used the house as collateral. If he could not pay back the money within two years, the house would belong to Wang Kun.

One after another, Weiguo found several more people to get gold from Wang Kun. One of them was a house in the family compound of a state-owned enterprise.

Wang Kun did not want this house, fearing that it would cause trouble in the future. He wanted a courtyard house within the Second Ring Road, especially one close to the Forbidden City.

In his previous life, Wang Kun was not from Beijing, so he was not familiar with the courtyard houses in Beijing and could not be sure which ones would be valuable in the future and which ones would be demolished. He thought that the closer to the Forbidden City, the less likely it would be demolished.

Ran Qiuye also made great progress. After the introduction of Ran's father, he bought two courtyard houses. These two courtyard houses are near BJ Medical College, which is convenient for Xueer to go to school.

Guo Xianghong found out about the house purchase and asked Ran Qiuye to help her find a house. After buying it, she did not keep it but gave it to He Yushui as compensation for her courtyard house.

He Yushui and his wife didn't want it, but after much negotiation, they finally paid half of the money.

The purchase of the house was kept secret from the courtyard, and no one in the courtyard knew about it. Even Ran Qiuye didn't know that Wang Kun had bought several houses without her knowledge.

There was nothing he could do about it. Taking out the money for two houses at once was enough to make people suspicious. It was hard to explain why he took out so much money without telling anyone.

Time flies, and before we knew it, 78 years have passed.

Wang Kun faced an important choice in his life: whether to continue staying in the steel rolling mill or go to the public security bureau.

Dong Yongxu was about to retire, so he hoped Wang Kun would go to the Public Security Bureau and find him to raise this matter.

Wang Kun did not agree at that time.

This choice is related to his future path and it is not easy to decide.

Staying in the steel mill has the advantage of easy work and good benefits, but there are also many hidden dangers.

The steel mills will definitely be integrated in the future, and will most likely be incorporated into Shougang Group. He has no idea how it will be arranged at that time. There are too many uncertainties.

As for going to the Public Security Bureau, that's easy.

"Wife, please help me find out what is the best choice."

Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and asked, "Whatever you want to do, just do it. I support you."

"I'm not undecided, I just want you to give me some advice. Please don't give me a perfunctory answer."

Ran Qiuye said, "When did I give you a perfunctory answer? I don't know what the future of these two jobs will be like, or what kind of troubles they will cause. What do you want me to say?" Although Wang Kun didn't get any advice from Ran Qiuye, it also gave him a reminder. If he stayed in the company, he would most likely encounter an unavoidable trouble in the future, which was whether the company could survive.

Although Wang Kun has a way to solve the problem, he may not be able to do it.

At the current steel mill, Ding Guangnan is about to retire, and all other factory leaders are reassigned. They think Wang Kun is Ding Guangnan's man, and usually exclude him.

If he continues to stay, he will definitely be involved in a power struggle with those people when Ding Guangnan retires.

This is not the most serious problem. The most serious problem is corruption.

It's easy for him to make money, so it's impossible for him to get involved, but he can't just watch those people do such a thing either.

After thinking about it, I decided to leave this vortex as soon as possible.

After making the decision, Wang Kun found Ding Guangnan and told him his ideas.

Ding Guangnan said, "Your idea is not bad. I will retire soon, and I was thinking of helping you one last time by letting you be the deputy factory director. Since you have a better place to go, go! It's a good thing not to get involved in the factory's affairs."

After talking to Ding Guangnan, Wang Kun started to go through the formalities and his job transfer was soon completed.

Over the years, he has helped the Public Security Bureau solve many cases, won recognition from many people, and successfully established a foothold in the Public Security Bureau.

It was not until he returned to the courtyard wearing police uniform that people in the courtyard knew he had been transferred to another job.

Yan Bugui was particularly surprised: "Why are you wearing police uniforms?"

"I'm working at the Public Security Bureau now, so of course I have to wear police uniforms."

"You don't work at the steel mill anymore?" Yan Bugui shouted in surprise.

"Uncle, what's the big deal? It's just a normal job transfer. Look how scared you are."

Yan Bugui recovered and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the treatment at the steel mill is better than at the public security bureau. Aren't you being stupid?"

Wang Kun was in a good mood and didn't mind chatting with him for a few more words: "Look at what you said, regardless of the high or low level of work, we all serve the people. Your idea is wrong."

Yan Bugui said unhappily, "I am also thinking about you. The working hours of the steel mill are flexible. As for the police, they want to work overtime every day."

"But the police are so powerful. Those who have bad intentions become as obedient as grandchildren when they see this uniform."

After saying this, I heard someone snort behind me.

When I turned around, it was Yi Zhonghai.

Wang Kun swore that he really wasn't targeting Yi Zhonghai, and he wasn't deliberately alluding to him. But he insisted on thinking that way, and Wang Kun couldn't do anything about it.

Yan Bugui waited for Yi Zhonghai to leave before he dared to speak: "You are already a leader, why are you still targeting Old Yi?"

"Uncle, you are really good at putting the blame on someone else. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have gotten to the point. How would I have known that he would suddenly pop up?"

"Hey, you're still blaming me. Did I ask you to say that? Forget it, you're a police officer now, I can't afford to offend you."

Having said that, he was about to turn around and go home.

Wang Kun said from behind him: "Just to remind you, highway robbery is now under my jurisdiction."

Yan Bugui was so frightened that he staggered.

Ran Qiuye shouted at home: "What are you doing outside? Come home quickly."

When he got home, he complained to Wang Kun that he shouldn't tease Yan Bugui. (End of this chapter)
