That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 791 You Have Become More Capable (Repaying Debt)
"Do we still owe each other favors?"

Li Ye decided to have a good talk with Liu Muhan.

He pointed at the 35,000 yuan house and said, "A house is indeed very expensive for ordinary people, but you should ask Uncle Liu how much money should be used to measure the friendship between him and my grandfather."

"My grandfather and Grandpa Liu gave their lives to each other on the battlefield.
Now you are pushing and shoving each other for a house. Do you want to normalize the relationship between our two families from our generation? We should accurately calculate who owes whom in the future, right?"

"."

Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye in surprise and was speechless for a long time.

She was also a very smart girl, but when Li Ye brought up the "life-long friendship" between the elders of both sides, she couldn't think of a suitable word to refute.

Li Zhongfa and Liu Zhengqing were comrades who had led a company to fight a blocking battle. They were brothers who had fought to the death when they saw their comrades in arms die, and they launched a mad battle against an entire squad of Japanese soldiers alone.
Compared with this fighting friendship, a house is nothing.

"Okay! Let's go check out that shabby house first."

Liu Muhan finally decided to go to Yaer Hutong to take a look, and then reject Li Ye, as a way of giving face to his honest and kind nephew.

But when several people arrived at the courtyard in Yaer Hutong, Liu Muhan was confused.

Because this house is really big, but it’s also really shabby!

How broken is it?
The house was so dilapidated that most of the dozen or so residents moved out because they couldn't stand it.

"The original owner took back the property rights eight years ago and has been trying to sell it, but the tenants refused to move out. Later, they became angry and never repaired the house, and it ended up in such a state."

"."

Li Ye and Liu Muhan walked around the yard and felt that the original owner might not only not repair the house, but also deliberately make things difficult for others.

So if this person gets angry, he will definitely do something that harms others and himself.

Liu Muhan couldn't help but ask: "Can this house still be repaired?"

Ma Qianshan immediately took out a few photos and said, "It can be repaired. My fellow villagers have set up a house repair company and have been working in Beijing for three years. Take a look at these photos. They are all houses they have repaired."

When Jiang Hong and his fellow villagers from Qingshui County first lived in Zhongguancun, several craftsmen followed Li Ye's instructions and decorated bathrooms and installed earth heating for people. Now, after several years of development, they have all established companies.

Liu Muhan looked at the photos carefully several times. The white walls and black tiles looked neat and tidy, and it looked pretty good.

So she changed her mind and asked, "How much does this house cost?"

Ma Qianshan smiled and said, "The owner is over there! You can go over and talk to him."

Liu Muhan thought about it and walked towards the owner of the house. After a while, a heated argument was heard.

"What? You want 42,000 for this house? How many good houses are there that people can live in? You're asking for so much."

"Girl, this is the capital city. You can reach the imperial palace right outside your house. It's like dragon energy! Do you understand dragon energy?"

"Don't talk about those feudal superstitions. Just tell me a real price. If it's okay, then it's okay. If not, then I'll turn around and leave."

"Forty-two thousand is really not a lot for such a big place. A whole family of four generations can live here. Besides, money has become so cheap in the past two years. Popsicles are only one cent each."

"What's the point of having a big place? I can't just set up a tent to live in, right? All these houses need to be demolished and rebuilt. Oh, can your house be rebuilt?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, of course."

Watching Liu Muhan haggling with the landlord, Li Ye felt that it was about right.

If you want a woman to feel it's worth it, you must let her experience the joy of "being able to do what others can't". This house has to be repaired, but if you want to modify and renovate it, you really have to use some connections.

While Liu Muhan was bargaining with someone, Li Ye called Ma Qianshan and Duo Ye aside.

"This house was cleaned up for my grandfather's comrades-in-arms. They are all friends who fought Japanese soldiers together. You should all pay attention to it and don't let me lose face in front of the old man. Whoever makes me lose face, I will make him lose face too."

Duo Ye smiled and said, "I understand, don't worry! As long as that girl buys this yard, I will make these residents move out quickly, and I guarantee that they will leave without any worries."

Ma Qianshan also smiled and said: "Old Hong and his team are very different now. They have hired two retired engineers from the design institute. As long as you tell them what style you want, they will definitely renovate it for you."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I still say that, the business of fine decoration is all about word of mouth. As long as the word of mouth is good, there will be business everywhere in this big capital, and it is not in vain to say that you will be rich for a lifetime."

Ma Qianshan nodded sincerely and said, "That's true. When they first heard this, Lao Hong and the others didn't believe it. Now they are completely convinced by the champion.
Your words are Old Huai's words, anyone who doesn't believe them will be struck by lightning~"

"." Ma Qianshan and his people can be said to be brought up by Li Ye. As long as Li Ye said a business could make money, he never miscalculated. So now the beneficiary group gathered around Li Ye has formed the "Qingshui Gang", and they are about to deify Li Ye.

Duo Ye also knew about Old Huai Ye’s affairs, but he believed more that Li Ye was an “economics expert”, so after Ma Qianshan finished speaking, he asked Li Ye another question.

"Zhuangyuanlang, I've seen some companies building commercial housing recently. Do you think building houses has a future?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You are quite ambitious! You actually dare to think about real estate. It is indeed a lucrative business, but it is also difficult. Just running around to get the official seal is not something that ordinary people can do."

Duo Ye immediately smiled and said, "As long as there is money to be made, it's fine. Just stamp the official seal! We are familiar with it."

"."

Li Ye looked at Duo Ye's eyes and asked in a low voice: "Why did you think of building a house?"

Duo Ye looked at Ma Qianshan and said nothing.

Ma Qianshan immediately avoided it tactfully.

Then Master Duo said, "Since Master Song started overseas currency exchange, we have accumulated a lot of RMB here, and foreign trade doesn't require that much money, so I'm thinking about finding a way to spend it."

"Oh~, then you decide."

Li Ye didn't say anything more, but just thought that he would call Lao Song in the evening to chat. He hadn't heard the old man's voice for two months and missed him a lot.

Near noon, Liu Muhan finally ended an hour-long bargaining battle and bought the shabby house with satisfaction.

Li Ye asked with a smile: "How much money did you give to the people in the end?"

Liu Muhan gestured: "Thirty-nine thousand, not a cent more."

Li Ye gave a thumbs up: "Great! If it were me, I would have to spend at least two thousand more."

"Hum~"

Liu Muhan smiled complacently, then asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to repair this house?"

Li Ye opened his mouth and said, "Sixteen thousand, not a penny less."

"."

Liu Muhan's eyes widened: "How dare you ask for a price! How much do bricks and tiles cost now? How much does labor cost? How dare you make money from me?"

Li Ye spread his hands: "Then you should bargain for a price!"

Liu Muhan's chest bulged with anger, and he said unhappily, "Twelve thousand."

"Deal, bring the 500 yuan deposit first. Whoever regrets is a dog."

"."

"Why are you so interesting?"

Handsome, rich, kind, loyal, and interesting...

"Ah~"

. . . . . . . . .

At night, Li Ye called Ri Ben and heard Lao Song's sarcastic voice.

"Hey, Mr. Champion, you finally remembered my old bones."

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't I call you during the Chinese New Year? Let me ask you, what does the overseas currency exchange you and Duoye did mean?"

"Overseas currency exchange?"

Old Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's the bank in the old society! Back then, it was the bank that connected the world, and now it's the bank that connects the world.
If we receive money in the mainland, I will give them Japanese yen. Similarly, if I receive Japanese yen or US dollars, we will give them RMB in the mainland.

"."

"Fuck, Old Song, you have become very powerful overseas. Are you an underground bank?"
