I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

Little did she know that Yan Jiefang's net worth had already exceeded ten million and would soon enter the hundred-million-yuan club.

Although I don't know what this person is thinking, I've long since lost interest in talking to them.

Besides, he has important things to do early tomorrow morning, so he doesn't have time to do this little project.

"No time, goodbye!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Manager Luo heard the crisp sound of the call being disconnected and didn't react for a moment.

Do these people in China not understand the significance of ten million?

How could you not be interested in such a big business?

...

During dinner that evening, everyone was listening to Liu Ruyan boast about how she had made nearly two hundred yuan that day.

"Mom, don't let the small, inconspicuous storefront of my fruit shop fool you, it actually makes a lot of money."

I can now earn at least a hundred dollars a day! And the best part is, it's not tiring at all!

This is so much better than my old job where I was working myself to the bone!

The old lady had heard these words countless times; they were practically calloused to her, but she still smiled kindly and praised them:

"Great! Great! It's good to be able to make money! Don't overwork yourself, have some spare ribs."

As she spoke, she used serving chopsticks to put a piece of braised pork rib into her youngest daughter's bowl.

Upon receiving her mother's praise, Liu Ruyan smiled proudly like a child.

"Mom, I'm making a lot of money now, so you can relax and enjoy life! I'll buy you whatever you want!"

"Mom, you earn so much money, it's a waste to keep it. How about you get me a Great Wall 386?"

Seeing his mother's smug look, Yan Xueheng rolled his eyes and deliberately teased her.

Liu Ruyan knew exactly what the price of the 386 was, after all, her husband had one sitting in his study!

This tiny thing costs over 40,000 yuan a unit!

It's almost 10,000 yuan more expensive than my family's car!

Why is this thing so expensive?

She couldn't understand.

She complained a lot about Yan Jiefang because of this.

Until the end of last year, Yan Jiefang took out a savings book with more than 1500 million yuan and placed it in front of her.

She counted the long string of numbers repeatedly before finally stopping.

At the time, her thinking was: computers are so profitable, there must be a reason they're expensive...

But if her son asks her to spend more than 40,000 yuan to buy this kind of thing, wouldn't that be the death of her?

She only makes five or six thousand a month. If she spends so much money on a computer, won't she be spending all of her net profit from the past eight months?

Wouldn't this year's work have been basically wasted?

How can this be?

Liu Ruyan's almond-shaped eyes widened:

"Yan Xueheng, get out of here and eat! What are you doing interrupting when adults are talking?"

...

However, Yan Jiefang did remember this incident.

That evening, he went to the Great Wall Company and brought back three units.

One of them was delivered to the school and given to the eldest son so he could take it to his dormitory himself.

Tsinghua University started building its campus network last year. Although it is still very rudimentary, it has taken shape.

Xueqian now has his own computer, so joining it is a natural thing for him.

The other two units will stay at home for the second and third children to use.

In this era and into the future, computers will become a part of almost every household.

Having computers for all the children allows them to access more of the world and broaden their horizons.

The three children were very excited that their father had specially prepared such an expensive technological product for them.

A few ordinary computers are nothing to Yan Jiefang now.

But for the vast majority of other people in China, it's an enormous deal.

In this day and age, the money for one computer can easily buy two decent courtyard houses!

It's just that we haven't reached the level of the 90s when people went abroad, so the supply of goods is relatively limited.

Yan Jiefang wasn't in a hurry at all. His plan was to wait until then and then buy a dozen or so courtyard houses to keep as part of his family's assets.

In addition, properties in the four major first-tier cities and some new first-tier cities are also in his plans.

It all depends on when the real estate market starts to heat up.

He estimated it should be sometime between 95 and 05.

Now it all depends on how hard Great Wall works.

The harder they work, the more they earn.

This is a complete win-win situation!

Just after 5 a.m. the next day, Team Leader Han called:

"Comrade Yan, are you up yet? It's time to assemble. Should we send someone to pick you up?"

Yan Jiefang glanced at the time, then refused:

"Old Han, no need to come over. I'll drive straight to the airport and we'll meet there."

"Okay, don't forget our track and field team's meeting point. Don't accidentally stand in the swimming team's spot."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

"Okay, let's meet at the airport later. See you then."

"goodbye."

Yan Jiefang's things had already been put into his personal space and were ready to go.

He took out his navy blue tracksuit and changed into it.

Then I went to the garage, got into my BJ212, and left home.

He arrived at the Capital Airport in about an hour.

Since it was still early, there weren't many people here.

He drove his car directly into the airport parking lot and sat inside to wait.

At 7:30, the waiting hall of Beijing Capital International Airport was crowded with people, but the atmosphere was relatively quiet.

The main force of the Olympic delegation has gathered here and will depart on two Air China charter flights.

The entire delegation consisted of 445 people, including 300 athletes, and the rest were coaches, team doctors, and staff.

Some of the advance team members who went to South Korea earlier to coordinate the site had already departed and did not travel with the main group.

At that time, China and South Korea had not yet established diplomatic relations and there were no direct flights, so the journey had to transit through Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport.

The team members were all dressed in navy blue tracksuits with the national emblem embroidered on their chests.

The teams were divided into sections based on their projects. The coaches went back and forth to count the number of players, while the team members chatted quietly or remained silent.

At 9:00 a.m., the first charter plane carrying Yan Jiefang taxied onto the runway and took off on time.

Track and field is a major sport with a lot of equipment, so departing earlier will give you more time to check your luggage after arriving in Hong Kong.

A little over an hour later, the second plane took off.

The plane flew south and landed at Kai Tak Airport more than three hours later.

As there were not enough flights to Seoul that day, the team needed to stay overnight in Hong Kong.

The entire team completed border crossing procedures and then boarded a bus to their pre-booked hotel to rest.

Each team leader repeatedly emphasized foreign affairs discipline, strictly prohibiting anyone from leaving the team or going out without authorization.

Yan Jiefang, being an honest man, naturally stayed in the team and didn't go anywhere.

After all, things are different now. When he stays in the Special Administrative Region in the future, if he wants to go to Hong Kong, it will be a piece of cake.

On the morning of September 11, the team regrouped and returned to Kai Tak Airport to transfer to a flight to fly over the Yellow Sea.

As evening approached, passenger planes began landing at Seoul Gimpo International Airport.

The organizing committee's shuttle bus was already waiting. After everyone completed their entry procedures, they boarded the bus and headed to the Fangyidong Olympic Village.

The bus drove into the Bangyidong Olympic Village, where rows of gray-white high-rise apartments stretched out.

This is an apartment complex built specifically for the Olympics, which will be sold as residential properties after the Games.

Each apartment includes a living room, a shared kitchen and bathroom, and five bedrooms, typically accommodating nine people.

Ordinary athletes share a room with two other athletes, while team leaders and head coaches have single rooms.

The bedroom contains only a single bed, a desk, and an electric fan. The only air conditioner in the entire apartment is a window-type air conditioner in the living room.

Because Yan Jiefang is old and might not sleep well at night, a single room was specially arranged for him so that he could get a good night's sleep.

Yan Jiefang said: "I can say that I am enjoying some of the preferential treatment for the elderly ahead of time. It's really great!"
