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

More than half an hour later, Wang Pangzi from the fruit wholesale market was sent by Yan Jiefang to mine more than 40 meters underground.

At first, Wang Pangzi's colleagues and family didn't take it seriously when he went missing.

After all, this kid isn't exactly a peaceful person; he might run off to some random place to fool around from time to time.

It's common for me to not go home for a day or two.

It wasn't until three or four days later, when the guy still hadn't shown up, that his family rushed to the police station to report him missing.

However, in cases with almost no leads, it's impossible to uncover the truth unless Yan Jiefang turns himself in.

After arranging things for Fatty Wang, no one else came to cause trouble for Liu Ruyan's fruit shop for the time being.

In the following months, apart from occasionally making a trip to the special economic zone, he spent the rest of his time in 49 cities with his children and family.

Sometimes, he felt he was being too leisurely and wondered if he should find something else to do.

. . .

With the help of the stone carvings, the three children's internal strength improved very quickly.

However, it's impossible to practice like this every day because they don't have enough external energy to support it. After several tests, it's better to practice about once every ten days.

It's unlikely that we'll see any significant results in the short term; it will take time to accumulate.

As the children grew up, the once spacious courtyard became somewhat crowded.

Especially since every child will have at least one car in the future, parking will become a problem.

Therefore, starting the year before last, Yan Jiefang began looking for a good three- or four-courtyard house in the nearby area.

To this end, he also commissioned the biggest old house hunter in the area to find available properties.

Notify him directly as soon as there is any news.

Unfortunately, two years have passed and there is still no news.

Most sellers are only willing to sell two or three houses if they can get away with it.

The two biggest deals were just two more courtyard houses, each with one entrance.

They are located in Shajing Hutong and Mao'er Hutong respectively.

The prices of these two courtyard houses have both exceeded 10.

The courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong was purchased last year for 11 yuan. It has a total area of ​​260 square meters and is currently mostly vacant.

Because there are still two tenants living in this courtyard, the law cannot forcibly evict them.

Although the property rights are clear, the price is much lower.

Aside from giving the two households some moral guidance, Yan Jiefang didn't pay them any further attention.

We simply asked them to take turns cleaning the yard thoroughly once a week, using their labor to offset their rent.

This courtyard house in Shajing Hutong was purchased at the beginning of this year.

This courtyard also has clear property rights and no tenants, so the price is higher than the previous courtyard.

Because the area is very small, only 200 square meters, it is a typical small, simplified courtyard house in a hutong, a miniature detached house, so the price is not that high.

He bought it for 16.

This courtyard is so small, it's very cramped, only about the size of some large single-level apartments in later generations.

Yan Jiefang's family had no intention of moving here.

So, after the entire place was renovated, Yan Jiefang used it as a dedicated training ground for the four of them, father and sons.

The four front rooms were also expanded and renovated into three garages.

The eldest brother, Yan Xueqian, usually parks his Cherokee here.

If nothing changes, the three brothers' cars will probably stay here.

We'll have to wait until they get married to discuss the rest.

The money for buying and renovating these two courtyards came from the one million yuan salary he paid himself last year.

At this time, the highest personal income tax rate for mainland citizens can reach 60%.

The special economic zone belongs to the first tier, where the tax rate is 60% for any amount exceeding 10 times the base amount!

After paying personal income tax, these wages still amounted to more than 400,000 yuan.

Given his strength and ability, he had no intention of evading or avoiding taxes.

There's no need for that.

After buying two courtyard houses, renovating them, and buying furniture, he had only 5 yuan left, which he casually deposited into the bank to earn interest.

Courtyard houses in 49 cities, especially those in prime locations like Nanluoguxiang, are becoming increasingly expensive.

The first courtyard house he bought in Qinlao Hutong had a total area of ​​about 300 square meters and cost 15000 yuan.

In less than ten years, the price has increased dozens of times!

Moreover, this trend will continue until after 2015.

The highest estimated price for the 300-square-meter courtyard house where they currently live could reach over 4000 million.

...

In the first half of 88, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the State Machinery Industry Commission merged to form a new department, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry (Ministry of Machinery and Electronics).

Minister Wang, formerly of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, will continue to oversee this new department.

After the two departments merged, Minister Wang had more leverage and his control over these areas did not decrease; on the contrary, it became stronger.

Domestic wireless communication, lithography machines, silicon wafers, chips, memory, integrated circuits, microcomputers, minicomputers, switches, automobiles and other fields have all entered a period of rapid development.

Various new and more advanced products emerged, bringing in a large amount of foreign exchange for the country through exports.

By May 1990, Minister Wang clearly felt his health beginning to deteriorate.

According to the information in that dream, I probably don't have much time left.

I may be buried, but the development of the country cannot stop.

Therefore, he selected his successor from several shortlists.

After observation, he finally chose Xiao He.

This comrade has clear goals, his own ideas, and the ability to execute them firmly.

He comes from an engineering and technical background, is pragmatic, values ​​the localization of technology, and is well aware of the gap between domestic and overseas equipment.

While acknowledging the necessity of introducing advanced equipment, we must also be wary of the potential harm caused by simply importing technology without assimilating it.

Therefore, while introducing advanced equipment, we will also firmly support independent innovation.

In addition, he is also firmly promoting mechatronics: using microelectronic chips to transform traditional mechanical equipment!

In the days that followed, Minister Wang would frequently call Comrade He to his side and ask for his opinions on various tasks.

Comrade He's answer satisfied the old minister greatly, which strengthened his resolve to step down and make way for a more capable person.

Although some dissenting opinions arose in the Ministry of Industry, the old minister's will was the will of the entire Ministry of Machinery and Electronics, and no one could stir up any trouble.

Anyone who dares to be disobedient will be reassigned by the old minister or transferred to another department.

He gradually began to understand why his comrades were clearing obstacles and the difficulty of managing the entire department in the future.

...

By early July, all three children had started their school holidays.

With the Asian Games approaching, their training intensity has increased significantly.

However, the three monthly intensive training sessions are still being conducted as usual.

As they gained a deeper understanding of the first relief, its significance to the three seemed to diminish.

In order not to interfere with their cultivation, Yan Jiefang took out all 12 reliefs in front of them.
