Chapter 1199 Think Long-Term, Think Ahead (Vote Required)

"Dad. Dad, Dad."

Xiao Xiaohui's voice rang out, and several people turned to look. Aunt Chen led Xiao Xiaohui out of the hanging flower gate, with Xiu'er following beside them.

Chen Hui said, "This is my mother. This is my son." He greeted her with a smile, "You little rascal!"

Little Hui grinned, jumped up and down the steps, broke free from Aunt Chen's hand, and ran towards Chen Hui.

Chen Hui picked up his son, kissed him, and asked Aunt Chen, "What are you doing out here?"

Aunt Chen glanced at the group of people who had stood up in the pavilion and said, "Let's take him out to play. He'll come out when he sees his aunt walking this way."

Wu Guolin and the other three came out to greet Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen smiled and asked for their names and family information. She pointed to Liu Jiaming and said, "You look a bit like your grandfather, but you're more handsome."

She then said to Wu Guolin, "Sister Wu and I are good sisters. You'll come to my house often in the future. You guys should get along well."

Chen Hui said, "Mom is from a different generation."

Aunt Chen said, "You do your thing, we do ours, let's handle it one by one."

Aunt Chen's guards came out of the house.

Aunt Chen said, "You guys play, I'm taking Xiao Xiao Hui out for a walk, we haven't been here before." She took Xiao Xiao Hui and Xiu'er out the door, with the guard following behind.

Xiao Wei waved, and Wang Jiwei came out of the house. Xiao Wei said, "The three of you come with us for a walk. We're fine here."

Wang Jiwei called Hou Qiang and Zang Yuanwei to be discharged from the hospital.

Xiao Wei and the other six returned to the pavilion and sat down. Du An'an laughed and pointed at Wu Guolin and Liu Jiaming, saying, "From now on, you have to call Chen Hui 'Uncle,' haha, Aunt Chen is from the same generation as your grandparents."

Chen Hui said, "That's how everyone at work is addressed. No matter how much older or younger we are, we're all considered older brothers and sisters. My mom is only in her forties, so let's stick to the older one. You might be willing, but I'm not."

Wu Guolin raised his leg and made a kicking motion: "Only you would be willing."

Liu Jiaming asked Chen Hui, "Your parents...have they moved here?"

Chen Hui said, "Wanshou is too deserted. I live alone. Usually, Xiuer goes to visit them on Sundays. This year, Xiaowei and I are coming here to study, so we let them come and stay with us to make it more lively. There are too many rules over there, and I'm not used to them. Xiuer is my god-sister, and she's closer to my mom than I am."

Wu Guolin said, "My great-aunt also lives here, over at Hengzhalan, not far from here, about three or four miles away. There are quite a few older people living in this Jingshan area."

Liu Jiaming said, "My grandfather also lived in this area. The people in Wanshou were either from the older generation or those who came to Beijing later. Most of the people who originally lived in Beijing lived in this area, and they gradually moved there later."

Xiao Wei said, "Then our relationship is even closer. Come visit me whenever you have time. My place is big and quiet."

Wang Lihua said, "Don't you guys usually go out at night? There are a few pretty good bars around here, the singers are decent, and the girls are pretty good too."

Xiao Wei said, "We're all married. You saw Xiao Hui's son just now. Lao Xia's is a bit younger. My wife is going to have a baby. Xiao Hui's wife is right behind us. Be careful, she might come out and scratch you if she hears what you're saying."

Wang Lihua said, "Playing around doesn't necessarily mean doing anything. Just listen to music, drink some wine, and make a ruckus. What's the point of just sitting around all day like this?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's fine to have some fun, but nothing else. This place doesn't seem to have a very good reputation."

Liu Jiaming said, "All artists are like that, decadent. We're just looking for fun, not worshipping them. That's all there is to it."

Du An'an asked Xiao Wei, "Didn't your wife come?"

Xiao Wei said, "There are three of us. Lao Xia works at the Liaodong Construction Bureau, his wife is our company's CFO at the Fengtian headquarters, Xiao Hui is the company's general manager, and his wife is in Beijing in charge of the office. My wife works at the Liaodong Provincial Government Office and doesn't have time to come over. We'll see each other in the future."

Wu Guolin asked, "Did you find your wives yourselves, or were they arranged by your families?"

Chen Hui changed everyone's tea and said, "They met on their own. Xiao Wei isn't; Xiao Wei is betrothed to someone he met as a child. They've been together since they were little."

Xiao Wei said, "I'm just an ordinary citizen. Xiao Hui's uncle and aunt are quite open-minded and don't interfere much in this regard."

Wu Guolin said, "I'm envious. An'an, I guess your uncle won't be able to control you in the future. Jiaming and I are probably in trouble; we might have to listen to our families' arrangements. I also want to find someone I like and slowly get to know them. How wonderful that would be."

Du An'an said, "Just get a virgin, that's easy, just keep her on the side. Isn't that how it is?"

Wu Guolin shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about company matters instead."

Chen Hui said, "Xiao Wei has always been the one in charge here. Whatever he says goes. You guys should discuss it yourselves."

Wu Guolin said, "Let's pool our resources. Li Hua, how much can you produce? Let's go by your standard, and then the four of us can split it equally."

Wang Lihua laughed and said, "Damn it, isn't this just saying I'm poor? Well, so be it. Who told me my dad's a low-ranking official? I can probably scrape together two hundred, that's the limit. I might even have to borrow some." His father was an ordinary deputy mayor, not a member of the Standing Committee.

Wu Guolin said, "Okay, then let's each get two hundred. Lihua, go and set up a company, and let Jiaming be the legal representative. The three of us will be shareholders."

Liu Jiaming nodded and asked, "What do you mainly do?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's register a travel company. Tourism or tourism real estate development are both fine. Let's go with a travel company."

Chen Hui said, "It's fine to include real estate as well. If we build a residential project here in Beijing in the future, we can use that too."

Xiao Wei asked Wu Guolin, "Are you interested in getting into this area? The real estate sector?"

Wu Guolin said, "Of course we want to. Quite a few people have made a fortune from this. To play this game, you need to have the goods on hand. We couldn't afford it before."

Wang Lihua said, "We can only help people secure a few dozen projects at a time, while other people get hundreds or even thousands at a time. Who wouldn't be envious? All the well-known real estate companies in Beijing have backing companies; it's all about who has the resources. Look at us, who among us looks like a real estate company?"

Xiao Wei said, "Then let's include real estate. We don't usually deal with residential projects, but if we find suitable ones in the future, we can invest some money here. You can handle it. But let's be clear, if we get involved in a project, the compensation for relocation and resettlement must be handled according to the rules and national regulations."

Wang Lihua said, "There aren't any clear regulations in this area, are there? There's still quite a lot of room for maneuver."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "There's no need. You'll know once you've done it. The profits are enough; there's no need to skimp on the common people's money. I think doing business requires a long-term perspective. It's not like you're just going to do it once and then quit. It's not worth getting a bad reputation and being criticized."

I need votes. I want to add "Old Tales of Maple Capital" to my collection. It's already over seventy chapters, isn't it great? Old Ning doesn't lie.
