Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 183 Southern Development
The little girl spoke without restraint, and several adults listening nearby laughed.

Fang Mingche looked at Yanyan and said, "It seems like you are seriously planning to have a big meal tonight."

Yanyan said: "No, I just plan to try all the delicious food."

She had heard of buffets, where many, many kinds of food were laid out for people to choose from. Today she was planning to go see it and have a delicious meal.

The children went there with the idea of eating, but the adults didn't. Wang Dexian was fine, as he had many opportunities to go to such occasions. But Fang Mingche and Lin Yan were very happy to be invited today.

This shows that their social status has been significantly improved. To have achieved such a development in two years is naturally a great success.

As for Qiu Yin, she followed Wang Dexian today to make some friends, especially the diplomats from Britain and France. This would be helpful for her future work overseas.

As for what she would do after her one and a half years of routine overseas assignment? As long as she could be indispensable, Teacher Fang would not rigidly transfer her back.

Fang Mingche has already communicated with her and if necessary, a position dedicated to managing European affairs can be established in the future to coordinate management above the heads of various countries stationed abroad.

He also told Qiu Yin that it would be best to take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad. If she was willing, it would be best if she could study in a related field.

This was related to her long-term development, so Qiu Yin naturally took it seriously. In fact, even without Fang Mingche saying it, she had also been making plans. She was delayed by the cancellation of the college entrance examination. Of course, he gave her such a reassurance, and she felt more at ease.

Therefore, Qiu Yin is very concerned about tonight's activities and strives to have a better performance.

Arriving at the Beijing Hotel, several people verified their identities and entered the banquet hall.

From Yanyan's perspective, it was the first time she saw such a sumptuous meal, and she really wished she had four stomachs like a cow.

However, with Lin Yan in control, there would definitely be no problems with her dining etiquette.

Before coming here, Fang Mingche had hired Mr. Qiu as his etiquette teacher. He taught his family of three the social etiquette required for such occasions. As for ballroom dancing, that was secondary, so he just had to learn it.

Fang Mingche can eat Western food, but he doesn't know much about the social etiquette of such occasions. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and at most he had seen such scenes on TV and in movies.

The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thought of inviting him this time because he hinted through his acquaintances. He got to know some people when he helped to carry things in Japan last time. In addition, he also made the phone calls himself when dealing with the Ministry of Culture in the past few months.

That’s why I have a place this time. Of course, it’s not like I can just change someone and come whenever I want.

Fang Mingche's identity as a student at Beijing Normal University, the foreign currency he handed over to the central bank for exchange every month, and his contribution to the sale of intangible cultural heritage products...all these combined earned him today's admission ticket.

He was quite satisfied that he had made it to this point in 1980, mainly on his own, thanks to the industry he chose, which could earn foreign exchange for the country.

This year is coming to an end in a perfect way.

Fang Mingche was born in a grassroots family and had no help from his elders. He could only work hard to make progress. He also came here today to get acquainted with many people at the meeting. This way, if he needs to do something in the future, he will be better than being a complete stranger.

Lin Yan told him privately: "If I were not a college student and my family was not as wealthy as it is today, I would really feel inferior to be in such an occasion."

"I will become more and more confident in the future."

On the other hand, the people from the travel agency who went to a western restaurant to celebrate Christmas Eve were also very excited when they talked about how their boss was invited to the Beijing Hotel to attend the Christmas reception hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Christmas reception at Beijing Hotel has political significance! This shows that the travel agency business is on the rise.

Gao Xiang said: "How about we open a bottle of red wine?"

"it is good!"

Lingzi calculated the per capita meal allowance given by Fang Mingche and nodded, "Yes, it's enough."

So I asked the waiter to sober up the wine and then poured it around.

Han Mei held the goblet and looked at the reddish brown liquid inside, feeling a little excited.

She can't be posted abroad. But Lingzi will go to the United States next year, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will be the office director!
The branch manager earns about 500 yuan a month, and she now earns about 100 yuan. The office director probably earns about 300 yuan. That's very high!

Liu Qingfeng, Geng Shan, and Huo Chen were also a little excited. They were wearing the same work clothes as the travel agency today. They usually didn't have the chance to wear them when collecting waste.

I never thought that they could come to such a high-end place to eat. In the future, if anyone looks down on them as junk collectors, they can hold their heads high and fight back.

Teacher Fang and Teacher Lin were able to go to Beijing Hotel to celebrate the festival. After telling the secretary and others about this, Murakami will not have any more troubles. This is equivalent to official recognition!
Lingzi smiled and said, "I can go back today and tell our comrade Zhou loudly that our travel agency has a bright future."

She will get a work visa to work in the United States next year, which is better than the path her parents have been planning for many years! At least she is not staying there illegally!
After the dinner party tonight, the driver drove the business car to take the colleagues back one by one. Huo Chen was the farthest away. But it was convenient to have a car, just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.

The driver planned the route, going as far as Huo Chen's home and then back to the office.

Xiao Gang was one of the first to get off the bus. Last year, the travel agency organized a dinner and a movie party on Christmas Eve, so he told his parents that he would be home late tonight.

At this moment, the car drove to the outside of the alley. Many of his father's colleagues saw him get off the car and asked why there was a car to send him back. This was the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative, where all the uncles and aunts who watched him grow up lived.

Xiao Gang only drank a little red wine. The meal cost only enough to open a bottle of red wine, so more than 20 people could only taste the wine.

However, alcohol can indeed make people excited. When someone asked him about it, he told them everything. Including that he spent 30 yuan on steak and red wine tonight. And that his cousin and her husband were invited to a cocktail party held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for diplomats from various countries...

When he walked away, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Their memories were still on how the nephew-in-law of the old Xiao family spent a large sum of money to buy unsalable goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, and how he later got admitted to Beijing Normal University and opened a foreign travel agency.

I knew he was doing well, but I didn't expect him to be so successful. As regular employees of the supply and marketing cooperative, they all have a sense of superiority. The supply and marketing cooperative is now very prosperous!
But Fang Mingche's development still made them jealous.

Han Mei was also quickly escorted to the alley outside her compound. The commercial vehicle was too big to fit in.

Fang Mingche had driven his car to send his mother-in-law and her family back before, and the neighbors had seen it. At this moment, someone standing at the gate of the compound called out to Lin Yi, "It seems that your brother-in-law's car has arrived. Oh, yes, Han Mei got off."

Han Mei was also a little excited after drinking the red wine, and greeted everyone she met along the way. When she saw Wei You, she said, "Wei You, you're at a loss!"

Since Wei You chose to go to technical secondary school, he definitely did not go to the travel agency again. So he would not be included tonight.

He said, "Give and take, give and take, only by giving can you gain. Your face is red, have you drunk alcohol?"

Even if you are reluctant, you have to be tough.

"Yes, we drank French red wine. We are having dinner at a western restaurant tonight. By the way, do you know where my sister and brother-in-law went today?"

Before Wei You could say anything, someone nearby asked, "Aren't Lin Yan and her husband with you?"

"No, they went to the Christmas reception at the Beijing Hotel. Someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called to invite them, and I answered the phone."

Han Mei was taken back by Lin Yi who came out to pick her up. But some people couldn't help but ask Lin's father and mother, "How come your daughter and son-in-law are so successful now?"

Father Lin said, "I heard about this. Han Mei told everyone about it after drinking some red wine."

Mother Lin also laughed and said, "I envy Yanyan. She is only five years old and she can attend such occasions." This is even more rare than going to Tokyo with her.

After entering the house, Han Mei whispered: "I'm actually not used to drinking red wine. I feel it's not as delicious as Arctic Ocean soda."

Lin Yi said: "You are a wild boar and cannot eat fine bran!"

"Better than you can't eat!"

"Haven't I ever eaten Western food? I went to a Western restaurant in Moscow."

Han Mei said: "You can only go with your sister and brother-in-law."

"You just went to a company dinner one more time. Can you afford to go on your own?"

Han Mei smiled and said, "I'll be able to go next year when I get promoted. I'll take you there then!"

Lin Yi was embarrassed, he knew that Han Mei's current income was three times his.

Han Mei looked at him, and then said to her parents-in-law who came in a step later: "Mom and Dad, we are going to open a branch in Shanghai next year, and also to open an office in the United States. My brother-in-law is looking for a talented person to be the president of the branch with a high salary of 500."

"Five hundred?" Lin Yi and his parents exclaimed in unison.

Just now, Lin's father and mother were naturally flattered by the neighbors outside. Some people also wanted to use them to get their nephews into the travel agency. Lin's mother said, "It has to be high school students. And they have to be diligent and good at studying. You know my nephew Zhu Qiming, his cousin's husband didn't want him. Only people like Han Mei and Wei You have a chance. The admission is very strict, I can't do anything."

At this moment, Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other, and Father Lin said, "This is too high." It was equivalent to their average annual income.

Facing their shocked gazes, Han Mei nodded and said, "The requirements are quite high. You either need to be a college student or a deputy battalion or deputy section chief."

Fang Mingche and his friends also came back in Wang Dexian's car that night. When they came back, a group of neighbors came out of the TV, and someone asked, "Are you back from the cocktail party at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

No need to ask, it must have been Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng who came back earlier who said it.

Fang Mingche hugged the sleepy Yanyan and nodded, "Yes. Yanyan is sleepy, I will take her back to the house first, you guys be careful with your steps."

Lin Yan fell behind and was questioned by neighbors for a long time. It was so strange!
Lin Yan told them what she had seen and heard, which satisfied their curiosity.

On the way back, these people couldn't help but talk about it. Aunt Yuan raised her eyebrows when she heard it in her room. She thought they were just going to have dinner with Wang Dexian. Well, she would ask later, and she could brag to people during the street office meeting.

This year, their compound was not selected as the model compound. Xiao Fang and Xiao Gu were detained for five days and fined for the previous fight. This made her feel very embarrassed.

However, the slum gained some support, and the security there improved greatly. Petty thieves no longer dared to come here.

This time she boasted about Xiao Fang and his wife to others, and she was able to regain the face she had lost.

Fang Mingche waited patiently until January 2nd. Lin Yan drove back from the bank at around nine o'clock and said, "The money has arrived!"

Fang Mingche stood up and said, "Let's go and handle the transfer procedures."

This time they got a certificate from the school in advance, and they would transfer the property in their own names. They also planned to change the name of the small courtyard, and not put it in Yanyan's name. Originally, it was temporarily held in her name.

As for Yanyan, she knew nothing about this from the beginning to the end.

While paying the money and writing the IOU, the original landlord asked, "I heard you guys attended the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Christmas party on Christmas Eve?"

At first, they agreed to let Fang Mingche write an IOU and use the travel agency shares as collateral to give face to the Wang family, and they also knew that the travel agency was indeed profitable. But after hearing this, they naturally felt more at ease.

Fang Mingche was surprised and asked, "You heard everything?"

"I told people that you bought my old house and only paid half of the money and used shares as collateral for the rest. Someone I know said that he saw you that night."

Fang Mingche nodded, "That's true."

The original owner nodded and said, "Congratulations!"

"Same joy, same joy."

The original owner received 68,000 yuan and immediately paid it to another family. He used the money to buy a well-preserved two-courtyard house. With fewer people in his family now, this is enough for him to live in.

This way, I don't have to spend a lot of money to clean up the house, and I can free up 10 in cash. If all else fails, getting % of the travel agency's shares would also be good.

Fang Mingche thought to himself: Well, you didn't suffer any loss! No wonder he agreed to pay the money within a year.

In order to get the other party to agree, he even showed them the account book. The other party must have asked the relevant people whether they would suffer losses if they lacked people, and only then agreed. However, agreeing to pay half of the money first before transferring the ownership was already very convenient for the bank.

In this way, everyone is happy!
Fang Mingche handed the new house deed to Gao Xiang before he could even feel it.

"Excuse me, please help me to take it to apply for a mortgage loan." The old rules still apply, he will go when he is required to sign.

Gao Xiang is now familiar with this matter. "Okay, the courtyard house within the Second Ring Road is also a high-quality resource. I have already consulted before, and I can get a loan. But when will your house be repaired?"

He knew Fang Mingche's financial situation very well. He had collected 48,000 yuan before and mortgaged 30,000 yuan for his car. He had reserved 10,000 yuan to clean up the house.

In addition to restoring the old buildings, we also plan to do some maintenance on the old houses. Of course, we need to prepare more money.

Fang Mingche said, "Grandpa Gu has helped me contact Yangshi Lei's descendants. Let's go see the house together on Sunday the 4th, and then decide on the plan. We will try to let you move in and start work within the first half of the year." Grandpa Gu is an old man in the city, and he has many acquaintances. If he encounters a disaster, no one may dare to lend a hand, but in a peaceful year, his connections will be very useful.

When Gao Xiang heard it was Sunday, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go and take a look then."

On the first Sunday of 1981, Fang Mingche's family of four, Fang Min, Gao Xiang, and Xie Ping walked there together. Uncle Gu and Aunt Yuan also followed with great interest. It's okay anyway!

Fang Mingfeng also came with his eldest daughter. As for the younger one, she was still in confinement after childbirth.

In addition, Lin's father and mother also drove over. They must have been very concerned about the new house bought by their daughter and son-in-law. The price was 136,000, which almost scared the two elders!
Only after hearing Han Mei say that they could rent it to a travel agency as an office did they feel a little better.

Mother Lin couldn't help but ask, "How much can I rent it for?"

"For now, we are only renting the first courtyard, and the annual rent is 2000. It's the same as the Overseas Chinese Apartment, but the courtyard of the Siheyuan is 160 square meters larger, a full 400 square meters. My brother-in-law said that he would make it as convenient for us as if we lived in a building. There is no heating in the winter, and the previous floor heating will be repaired. The toilet will also be a water toilet, just like a flush toilet, you can just pull the cord to flush it. As for the faucet entering the house, it goes without saying."

Father Lin said, "It will probably cost a lot of money to get this done. Besides, can the two courtyards at the back and the side yards be rented out?"

If they can all be rented out, it would be good to collect 8,000 yuan in rent a year. It would take 20 years to get back the money!

This is rented for commercial use, which is definitely more expensive than renting out Uncle Gu's yard to people living in.

"I haven't heard of it. Well, if it was easier to park here, I would have driven my brother-in-law's car back last night. That way I wouldn't have to get out early in the morning to take the bus."

Mother Lin shook her head. "Forget it, it might be troublesome if someone unloads the wheels in the middle of the night. Their compound is relatively peaceful now, but it's hard to say here."

Lin Yi said: "Can you steal on a whim?"

"That's hard to say. The security is really bad now, even worse than it was ten years ago. It's better to take a car yourself, it's easier and less troublesome."

Everyone arrived at once, and Fang Mingche took out the bronze key to open the door. This was a very old key, and he had kept it all the time. However, the door was already very dilapidated, and there were dozens of electric meters lined up at the door. These would need to be rectified later.

At most, we can keep three electricity meters. If possible, we can rent out the three courtyards separately. But in the future, I guess one courtyard will not be enough for a travel agency.

The issue of hiring retired soldiers to guard the house can also be put on the agenda. The security conditions at the Overseas Chinese Apartments are good, but the same cannot be said here. It would be terrible if the wheels of the commercial vehicle were removed again.

As for providing dormitories for out-of-town employees, it is definitely impossible for them to live here. It is so expensive here! The rent for the courtyard is 2000 yuan a year!
The Overseas Chinese Apartment let the three veterans live in one room, which was a spare room at the time. Later, they thought about buying another courtyard house, so they didn't let them move out.

Now the three of them have to be assigned to different places, otherwise they can indeed take on two jobs and continue to look after houses. However, now that the house is big, three people are not enough. So, we still have to hire a specialist.

As for other non-local employees, they would rather rent a few houses in Tuanjiehu Community as collective dormitories than arrange them to live here.

He and his family, as well as his parents, are not ready to live here. They don't have enough money now, or they can't show off their wealth. They just live in a small side courtyard and the Overseas Chinese Apartment. The accommodation conditions are pretty good.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was in even worse shape. It was completely out of shape after dozens of families had lived there before. Moreover, it had been vacated for half a year and was overgrown with weeds.

Father Lin and the others didn't even understand why Fang Mingche spent so much money to buy such a dilapidated house. All the money was emptied out, and he still owed half of the money. Now he had mortgaged two cars to the bank.

Fang Mingche said, "It's mainly to buy the land. If it wasn't in this state, no one would be willing to sell it. Master Lei, it should be repairable, right?"

Yangshi Lei's descendants said: "Let's take a look first. It seems that there is no major problem. But we need to check further. At present, it seems that there is no major problem with the overall framework. As for these woods, how much of them can still be used also needs to be checked in detail."

"Okay, then take a good look at it with your professional eyes and make a plan for me. Then we can talk about the next step."

"can."

Lin's mother asked Lin Yan in a low voice, "Where did you find this master named Lei?" Is he reliable?

Lin Yan said, "The Old Summer Palace was built by their ancestors. It was thanks to Grandpa Gu who asked his acquaintances to find the place."

Lin Yi stared in astonishment, "No, is it necessary to build the Old Summer Palace so well?"

"How could it be possible to repair it according to that standard? The main purpose is to show that they have the skills."

Master Lei may have heard their discussion, and turned his head and said, "In fact, when it was in the hands of Emperor Yongzheng, the Old Summer Palace was relatively simple and elegant compared to the later period."

The later period was naturally during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, whose aesthetic was piling up. This is how the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, which was beyond the ordinary royal gardens, came into being.

In addition to the houses, there are pavilions, lotus ponds, etc. It is a pity that the lotus pond has been filled up, and the pavilions were occupied by many people and were in a mess.

In order to accommodate more people, many bungalows have built attics.

Master Lei took a quick look and said, "Teacher Fang, let's take a look and get back to you."

"Okay!" Professional matters should definitely be left to professionals.

Everyone walked around and felt warm. Lin Yan looked down at her little son who was being pushed by Fang Min, and Changchang smiled back at her. The little guy also liked to go out and play.

The seven-and-a-half-month-old boy sat in a thickly padded stroller the entire time, covered with a small quilt and wearing a cotton hat on his head.

After returning home, Fang Mingche received a call from the branch secretary.

The branch secretary gave him an account, "You invested 108 yuan last year, and you can get a dividend of !"

Fang Mingche was a little surprised, "Isn't it only been half a year?"

"Yes, business is good. But we won't share the money for now. We want to expand the scale and buy more machinery and equipment. Will you invest further? Those who have invested before have priority."

Fang Mingche asked, "Do you still need money?"

The branch secretary laughed heartily. "To be honest, it's not bad. We'll take back 10% in half a year, and now the villagers have taken out all their savings. But you and Mingfeng do have priority. If you continue, those shares will not be divided."

Fang Mingche said: "Then I won't vote."

"Okay, I'll ask Mingfeng later. Your dad invested another 300."

"Secretary, there's no need to call Brother Mingfeng again. He's right here with me. I'll call him for you, Brother Mingfeng—"

Fang Mingfeng was invited to come and see the new house bought by his cousin today, and he was somewhat stimulated. He also felt that his cousin was too willing to spend money.

However, it is indeed useful, and the price of courtyard houses has been rising in the past year. The unit price of such a shabby courtyard, which is so large, is surprisingly not low.

He came over to answer the phone and said to the secretary, "Well, I won't continue to invest. I'll give those shares to the villagers."

With the money in his hands, the return on investment can be higher than that.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Fang Mingche, "I will be back in a few days. Have you told your family about buying a house?"

If he didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to interfere.

Fang Mingche said, "If I tell them now that I owe more than 100,000 yuan for that courtyard house, they will probably faint. Just say that I bought a courtyard house for more than 40,000 yuan. I owe some debts, but not much."

I still owe the original owner 10 yuan, and I mortgaged my car for a loan of yuan. That's more than yuan! And if something goes wrong, I will lose % of my shares.

He had told Fang Min and the others the same thing about buying a house, so don't let it slip.

Fang Mingfeng nodded, "Okay! You really dare to owe me over 100,000 yuan! I'm not as good as you in this aspect!"

Fang Mingche said: "Siheyuan is a non-renewable resource. Moreover, it has been restored and is within the Second Ring Road. It is also an old residence of a celebrity, so it should not be demolished in the future."

Fang Mingfeng was going back to apply for a business license. Small places were a step behind the capital, so they were just starting to do it now.

But only by doing it can he feel at ease and prove that it is his property!

As for taxes, it depends on the situation. He lives in the capital, so his cousin reminded him to pay what he should pay, because the management here is strict. Besides, he might have to report a rival by real name. If he doesn't want to be reported back, it's best to pay taxes according to the law.

Gao Xiang had already thoroughly researched how to do it, so he just let Gao Xiang do it.

Fang Mingfeng said: "Even if it is a non-renewable resource, it has been around for hundreds of years and has never seen a big increase. I don't think it has much investment value. But there is the Donghu New Village community in Guangzhou, which was built in 1979. I plan to go and take a look and buy a unit this time."

Fang Mingche had also heard of this community. If we don’t count the Tuanjiehu community and the special cases like the Overseas Chinese Apartments in the capital and Shanghai, the Donghu New Village in Guangzhou is the first commercial housing project in China in the true sense.

而且，东湖新村还是第一个引进外资开发的住宅项目，第一个实施物业管理的住宅小区。1979年兴建，1982年竣工25幢8层、2幢16层的楼房。

Fang Mingche asked, "It's not sold out yet?"

This community is pre-sold and has been on sale since the beginning of 1980. It's been more than a year, and it's still not sold out?

Fang Mingfeng said, "No, everyone is not used to the pre-sale system. Many people don't want to spend so much money on a house without even seeing it. But I heard from people who fled to Hong Kong that this is how houses are sold in Hong Kong and abroad. Hey, you should know this. Haven't you been to Japan?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "I know. But I thought they should be sold out after a year. Life in Guangzhou should be quite comfortable."

Fang Mingche asked, "Do you want me to help you look at a set?"

"How can I afford to buy another one now? Besides, once a commercial house is renovated, it takes a lot of time, so there is no need to rush."

Fang Mingfeng nodded. "What you said makes sense. Donghu New Village has more than one phase."

He lowered his voice and said, "I plan to let your sister-in-law go there in a few years to avoid having a third child. The regulations in Guangdong are not as strict as those in the mainland, especially in the capital. The house will be delivered in 82, and it will be just right to decorate it and leave it for a year or so."

He just happened to have some money on hand. His scrap yard brought in 2,000 yuan a month, and the video hall brought in another 2,000 yuan. Over the course of the year, he had saved up more than 40,000 yuan.

The houses in Donghu New Village are 700 per square meter, which is much more expensive than those in the capital. However, the prices there should rise faster. After all, the first rich people in China are mainly concentrated in the south. In addition, some Hong Kong people will come here to buy houses.

Commercial housing, as the name suggests, will increase in price like other commodities.

The journey to Guangzhou by car is quite dangerous. But if you buy a house and live there, it won't be so troublesome.

Fang Mingche nodded. It seemed that his cousin would still go to the south to develop in this life. This was normal. He had been driving in the south for so many years and his connections were mainly there.

Originally, my cousin just thought that sports cars were too dangerous, so he didn't go there for the time being. After the first crackdown, it was a natural development.

He originally suggested that his cousin open a scrap yard just to temporarily find a business that would bring in more stable income. As it turned out, his cousin did make money at the scrap yard.

If my cousin had completely given up his business in the north and gone to the south to develop after the crackdown in 87, I could have taken over his scrap yard. In 1987, a policy allowing the employment of multiple people was introduced.

After that, with the development of industry, waste recycling has been greatly developed. People are more willing to throw things away. Money can buy more abundant materials.

"Then I'll give you a letter of introduction from Guangzhou to the capital on your return trip?" Fang Mingche confirmed.

Fang Mingfeng nodded. "Yes, I went to Guangzhou from my hometown to buy a house, and then flew back directly from Guangzhou. Wow, it only took a few hours to fly back."

"No, fly straight."

The two brothers were very impressed by this. Guangdong is actually much farther away than Sichuan. But they can save a lot of time by flying directly from Baiyunshan Airport.

"So when are you leaving?"

"Wait until Tongtong is on vacation and take her with you. Otherwise, she will nag me about your Yanyan going abroad."

Lin Yan and the others were stunned when they heard that the price of commercial housing with elevators under construction in Guangzhou was 700 yuan per square meter. How expensive!
Fang Mingche said, "Guangzhou has already started to attract foreign investment to build factories, and the wages are much higher than in the mainland. Previously, Guangzhou came to Beijing to recruit college graduates to work there, saying that if they go, they will be given three rooms. They can also bring their families with them, and one direct family member can find a job. As for the wages of college students, they are directly benchmarked against the salary level I offered to the president of the Shanghai branch."

It is still early for the first batch of college graduates to be assigned jobs, but employers have already taken action and offered various preferential treatments.

However, this first batch of college students can go directly to the central government, but they are not very willing to go.

At the cocktail party that night, Fang Mingche met a senior from Beijing Normal University. He was selected by the US Secretary of Defense to do an internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he visited China. During the conversation, he said that he had decided to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation.

Fang Mingche knew this was the development, so he swallowed his words of trying to recruit her. A monthly income of 500 yuan would not impress her.
