A year later, the City Garden Community built by Mingzhen Real Estate Company was finally completed. At the same time, the supporting facilities of the community were also built, including high or low, curved or straight slides, cartoon-shaped seesaws and rocking horses, a one-meter-long climbing frame, and a sand-digging pool with fine sand. These are essential facilities for communities in later generations, but at this time they are unique in the entire empire and even the country. In addition, indoor swimming pools and public fitness equipment in the community have also become gimmicks for the sales of City Garden Communities.
As for the greening of the community, it goes without saying that the transplanted trees are all mature trees, the flower beds are full of colorful flowers, and the gravel paths on the dense and soft grass add a lot of color to the community. Zhenzhen positioned the City Garden Community as a high-end community, so the community is also equipped with Mingzhen Real Estate Company's own property management company. After systematic training and study in Hong Kong Island and Shenzhen, these property management personnel have obtained professional qualifications.
There are too many highlights in the community that need to be introduced one by one. Because Zhenzhen opened it for visitors for a month, she mainly introduced the community's supporting facilities, the management and charges of the property company, and most importantly, invited people who are interested in purchasing to visit the model room.
Zhenzhen has already reserved two 180-square-meter houses in this community and has already finished decorating them. Mingbei bought a 140-square-meter house, and the other designers bought a 90-square-meter house. Zhenzhen gave Mingbei and the designers' houses at cost price, and designed and decorated them according to the house type. All the decoration costs were borne by the company, on the condition that these houses would be used as model rooms for one month. You should know that the materials used by the company for decoration are the best on the market, and the furniture is high-end furniture produced by Tengda Furniture Factory. These two items alone are almost enough to cover half of their house prices. When the decoration was completed, several designers felt embarrassed to see that Zhenzhen had paid so much money, and wanted to return the decoration and furniture fees, but Zhenzhen waved her hand and blocked them all: "Just consider it as a bonus for your hard work this year." The people who said this felt very relieved.
Finally, the day of the community opening for visits arrived. The people of the capital who had been looking forward to it for a long time came to the community with their friends. As soon as they entered the gate of the community, they were stunned by the uniformed guards. Many people were stunned by their salutes for a long time. After entering the community, there was a painting every five steps and a scene every ten steps. The carefully designed community made people linger. Some children saw the colorful slides in the distance and immediately threw the instructions to be obedient behind their heads, dragging their parents to go over and play.
Some of the people who came to see the house were wealthy people, and some were young people who were getting married and wanted to move out. However, when the staff introduced that the smallest house was 98 square meters, many of them immediately gave up the idea of buying. However, Zhenzhen had anticipated this. After all, the City Garden Community has property management. If the purchase group is set too low, it is likely that they will have to argue about not being able to pay the property management fee later. It is better to screen customers by area and price from the beginning.
Some people hesitated when they heard about the area, while others' eyes lit up. However, no matter whether they want to buy or not, they can't just go back. Since they are here, they have to go to the so-called model room to see what kind of houses are built in this community.
At that time, there was no concept of decoration. Painting the walls and putting new furniture in the house was considered as tidying up. The decorations were all the same, and they looked familiar to everyone. However, the model room created by Zhenzhen adopted the decoration concept of later generations. On the basis of space utilization, it pays attention to the orderliness and hierarchy of style, and highlights the culture of home.
There is warm light above the entrance hall. To the north is a row of cabinet doors. The staff opened them to find a shoe cabinet below and a wardrobe above, which can store clothes and shoes for the whole family. To the south is the dining room and living room. The solid wood tables and chairs are decorated with tableware. The chandelier above is exquisite. There is no obvious physical partition between the dining room and the living room. At a glance, it not only makes people feel that the space is wide, but also increases the overall lighting.
The sunlight outside the living room is still open and connected to the living room. Walking from the balcony to the other side is connected to the master bedroom, with a floor-to-ceiling glass door in the middle. People look at the bright house and think about the fact that their own homes basically rely on light bulbs for lighting, and suddenly they don't want to leave.
Many people who were originally willing to buy or not saw the renovated houses and their eyes lit up. Some even asked directly: "Will you sell this renovated house? This is the largest one. I can pay double the price."
Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head: "I bought this for my child, but if you want to decorate it, the decoration company under our real estate company can provide the corresponding services."
"Okay." The man smacked his lips unwillingly: "When will you sell your house?"
Zhenzhen smiled: "It will be officially on sale at nine o'clock next Monday morning. Choose your house in the order you queue up." Immediately, the people who came to see the house looked at each other, and they were all evaluating how many competitors there would be next Monday.
On the day of the official sale, Zhenzhen estimated that there would be a lot of people, so she asked the company's employees to arrive at the sales office at 7 o'clock to make relevant preparations. I thought the time I arranged was already quite early, but when I arrived, I was shocked to see the huge queue at the door of the sales office. Zhenzhen estimated the number of people in line and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the house could be sold today.
The staff quickly issued number plates according to the queue order, and then invited them to come in and rest. The staff distributed bread, sausages and mineral water prepared in advance. Many of these people came at 4 or 5 in the morning. They had been waiting for two or three hours and were already hungry. Although they were not very full after eating the bread, their originally anxious mood was calmed down a lot.
Many people continued to arrive. Seeing that the hall and outside were packed with people, I felt a little desperate. However, since I was already there, I had to give it a try. What if the set I liked was not available
At 9:15, the staff held the contract and called the number plate. The average price of the City Garden Community was 2,500 yuan per square meter. Those who wanted to buy had to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan on the spot and then pay the full amount within five days. Mingbei and others were worried that many people might not be able to afford such a price, but the facts proved that there was no shortage of rich people. In just half a day, all the houses were sold out. The colleagues who originally thought that Li Mingzhen would definitely lose money this time were stunned. It was actually sold at such a high price that people were fighting for it. When did the market situation of commercial housing become so good
When everyone thought that Zhenzhen would continue to build high-end communities, Mingzhen Real Estate Company unexpectedly built a basic residential community with an area of mainly 60 to 70 square meters for its second project. Although the community does not have high-end supporting facilities like the city garden, the lush flowers and trees make this community stand out among communities of the same level.
Two consecutive communities were selected as standard communities in the capital, and while other cities came to visit and learn, they also left a deep impression on the people of the capital. And Mingbei felt like he had opened the door to a new world since the house he had left behind was often offered a high price. After that, whenever his company built a new community, he would closely follow Zhenzhen's steps. As long as Zhenzhen left a house in the community, Mingbei would immediately follow suit and buy one. Except for the money left for daily use, the rest of the money in the family was exchanged for houses.
***
Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and the several companies owned by Zhenzhen have become famous companies in the imperial capital and even in the whole country, especially Mingzhen Real Estate Company, which has grown rapidly in the past few years, from two construction teams of more than ten people in the beginning to a company that now has a luxurious office building, and its business scope has also extended from the imperial capital to surrounding cities.
In addition to being busy with work, Zhenzhen and Xi Junjie cherish their time with their family. Before leaving France, Zhenzhen asked Xi Junjie to pay attention to whether there are any suitable islands, and wanted to take the whole family on vacation. Xi Junjie has always kept this matter in mind. At the beginning of the year, Xi Junjie finally found a private island auctioned by a wealthy man. The island is ten kilometers away from the land, with soft and delicate beaches, clear waters, and rich and diverse marine life, and enjoys full inheritance rights. The owner of the island often came to the island for vacation, and built a luxurious manor on the island. After Xi Junjie bought the island, he appointed a professional team to the island to re-inspect the manor and rest. The natural or man-made landscapes on the island were also checked one by one. After ensuring safety, Xi Junjie put the trip on the agenda.
It was a cold winter in Beijing. Although the heater was on, the feeling of not being able to go out still made Mrs. Li feel a little suffocated. Mrs. Li was almost 90 years old, but with the care of Mr. Zhang and the massages she received from Zhenzhen, she was still very healthy. However, at such an old age, although her body was still good, her spirit was obviously worse than before. If it weren't for the twins who were with her every day, Mrs. Li would have no energy.
Xi Junjie drove to Mingzhen Real Estate Company. The front desk staff was already very familiar with the boss's man. After all, such a young and handsome diplomat was very attractive just by looking at him.
Xi Junjie took the elevator to the general manager's office on the eighth floor. As soon as he got up, he saw Zhenzhen knocking on the office door. In front of the secretary and assistant outside, she made a surprised expression: "I was wondering when you would arrive, but you were here as soon as I opened the door."
Xi Junjie knew that she had seen him coming with her consciousness, but he still cooperated and said, "This shows that we are in sync."
Zhenzhen smiled and took his arm as she walked into the office. The luxurious wooden door closed under the gossiping eyes of the assistant and secretary. Zhenzhen's secretary Chang Qing held her chin with her fists and sighed dreamily, "Mr. Li and Mr. Xi are such a perfect match. They are full of love whenever they are together. Sister Xie, how come Mr. Li is so lucky to marry a young and handsome diplomat? Why haven't I met such an excellent man?"
Assistant Xie Hua glanced at her and said calmly, "Boss Li and her husband are both top students from Imperial Capital University. If you want to find such an outstanding man, I think you have to apply to Imperial Capital University first."
Chang Qing sighed in frustration: "There are many girls in Imperial University, but there is only one Mr. Xi. I think it's useless to get in with my appearance. I'd better do my job well and stop daydreaming."
Xie Hua smiled slightly: "I've known you for so long, but this is the first time I've discovered that you are so self-aware."
Chang Qing wiped his face, turned around and went to the tea room. After a few minutes, he came back with a plate of clean apples. Zhen Zhen was always very generous to the employees under her. Not to mention the salary and benefits, there was never a shortage of fruit in the offices of several units. There were people who came to deliver fruit every day. These fruits were grown by Zhen Zhen herself on a mountain that she owned, and were supplied exclusively to the companies under her name.
After knocking on the door, Chang Qing heard Mr. Li inside saying "come in", and immediately smiled sweetly and gently opened the door. Zhen Zhen looked up at Chang Qing, and Chang Qing immediately smiled and put the apple on the table: "The apple was just delivered today."
Xi Junjie nodded at her and asked politely, "Can you get me a fruit knife? Zhenzhen won't eat apples with the skin on." Chang Qing took the fruit knife and handed it to Xi Junjie. She watched him carefully peel an apple for Li Mingzhen and then floated out with a dreamy look on her face, her eyes shining, "Mr. Xi is so gentle, and he's also good to Mr. Li." She slammed the table suddenly, moved closer to Xie Hua and whispered, "Do you know? He calls our Mr. Li Zhenzhen. Tsk tsk, I guess they must have been very sweet when they were in love."
"They are so sweet now." Xie Hua reached out and pushed her head back: "I think you should find a partner as soon as possible. How can you look so grown up drooling over other people's couples all day long?"
"Just watching their every move together is more exciting than when I'm in a relationship myself, just like in a romance movie." Chang Qing said in a low voice.
"Beep!" The elevator door opened and Mingbei walked out. He knocked on Changqing's desk and pointed at the wooden door of Zhenzhen's office: "Is Mr. Li in there?"
"Yes, but Mr. Xi is here too and just went in." Chang Qing immediately stood up and answered.
"Junjie is here too." Mingbei smiled, knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for an answer.
Chang Qing watched Mingbei's actions, and after he went in, she couldn't help asking Xie Hua: "You said the deputy manager opened the door without waiting for Mr. Li to say come in, so why did he knock on the door? Did he think Mr. Li and Mr. Xi would be inside..." She raised her eyebrows and made a kissing gesture with a sly smile on her face.
Xie Hua was almost annoyed by Chang Qing's gossip: "Chang Qing, why do you seem to be going crazy? How about I introduce you to a date? What kind of person do you like?"
Chang Qing's eyes lit up, and she immediately held her face with a smile on her face: "I want Mr. Xi to be so handsome, considerate and romantic!"
The smile on Xie Hua's face immediately disappeared, and he casually pressed Chang Qing's face back: "You'd better stay single."
****
In the CEO's office, Xi Junjie was showing Zhenzhen a photo of the island. "The scenery is very beautiful, and the facilities on the island are very complete. I hired a company to take charge of our security, housekeeping, and housekeeping services on the island."
Zhenzhen was immediately excited when she heard this: "It's cold right now, and I see that grandma and mom don't like to go out, so now is the perfect time to take them." Zhenzhen thought that any time would be suitable for her, but she didn't know how many days Xi Junjie could take off: "Junjie, when are you free? Let's go together with them."
Xi Junjie smiled and said, "I have saved up three years of annual leave for this day. With the weekends, I can be gone for more than a month. Just set a time and let me know."
Mingbei was listening at the side and felt itchy: "This sea is so beautiful, my grandma will definitely like it."
Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile: "The company is not busy in winter. If sister-in-law is free, you can bring the children with you. I will also call my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to see who can make time to come." Zhenzhen returned to her desk and called Xie Hua in while taking the calendar at hand: "Are there any particularly important meetings or land auctions in the past month?"
Xie Hua immediately said, "There are only a few internal meetings, and there is also a banquet with Mr. Jin of Jincheng Real Estate Company and Mr. Zhang of Wanshi Group."
Zhenzhen took a pen and drew a few circles on the calendar: "Move the important meetings to within three days, and complete the formalities for documents that need to be signed within three days. As for the banquet, I will call Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jin to explain, and cancel all other unimportant arrangements."
Xie Hua looked at Zhen Zhen, who was always a workaholic and didn't seem to be ready to work, and couldn't help asking, "Boss Li, do you have any other plans?"
"Well, I'm going to take a vacation." Zhen Zhen smiled brightly: "I won't be back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Xie Hua silently calculated that it was a full month and a half. He immediately looked at Zhen Zhen with envy: "Boss Li, your vacation is really long enough."
"I think it's quite long, too." Zhenzhen smiled happily and was very considerate in giving her assistant a day off: "You haven't taken your annual leave yet, have you? Discuss a time with Changqing, and you two can take turns taking it. Just make sure there's someone here."
"Okay." Xie Hua said with a smile, "Then I wish you a pleasant journey in advance."
Seeing Zhenzhen set the itinerary, Mingbei could not sit still and said, "I'll go home and ask my wife!" Then he stood up and ran out. Zhenzhen contacted several brothers, and Xi Junjie also asked Mrs. Xi and his parents. After hearing the couple describe the island as more beautiful than a fairyland, the family members all said they wanted to go.
After graduation, Mingnan and his wife returned to Beicha. One worked in the forest area and the other worked in a hospital. Although they did not earn as much money as their other brothers, the couple felt particularly comfortable in the small town where they grew up.
Mingnan was a little tempted when he received a call from Zhenzhen inviting him to go on vacation abroad. After all, it is difficult to go out in Beicha in winter. It would be a good thing if he could take the children out to see the world.
Zhenzhen was still chattering on the phone, persuading Mingnan: "Grandma, Mom and Dad, and the eldest, second and fourth brothers should all go. It would be such a pity if you don't go. We haven't had a good reunion in many years. Do you think that grandma, who is so old, can still get together with us a few times?"
Mingnan immediately said, "Okay, I'll go out and buy train tickets to take them to the capital. So, how much is the round-trip ticket? I'll send it to you and you can buy the tickets for me."
Zhenzhen just said: "No need..." Mingnan interrupted her immediately: "Let's put it this way. It's already embarrassing that you have to pay for food and accommodation on the island, how can I ask you to pay for the round-trip air tickets?" The Li family's education method has always been self-reliance, and there has never been a concept of equal wealth, just like when Roubao wanted to do business and had no money, he went to borrow from Zhenzhen instead of asking for it. Over the years, even if Zhenzhen was rich, the other brothers didn't think that if you have more money, you should pay more. On the contrary, because their parents and grandmother have always lived with Zhenzhen, in addition to giving them pension money regularly, the brothers also sent things to the courtyard from time to time, for fear that they would not send enough and Zhenzhen would suffer.
Zhenzhen also knew what her brothers were thinking. After all, Mingdong, Mingxi, and Mingbei all had to give her money for the plane tickets. She smiled helplessly and said, "It's my treat this time. That little island is also my new home. I want to invite you to my house and warm up the pot for me. Besides, the house is ours, and the food is caught from the sea. It really doesn't cost much, so don't mention the plane tickets to me." People in Beicha would invite relatives and friends to have a meal when they moved to a new house to liven up the atmosphere and increase popularity. Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'll charter a plane this time, so you can just relax and go out and play with me. Come on, I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and buy your tickets. The earlier you arrive, the earlier we'll leave."
Zhenzhen took care of the company's affairs, and Mingbei handed over the work on hand to other people; Ling Xiulan's cosmetics and chain beauty stores have become formal enterprises, and their operations will not be affected by the absence of the person in charge. Xi Changbo retired from his position last year and now plays with the children at home, plays chess and bickers with Li Muwu, and is very free. It can be said that except for Xi Junjie, who has to go through the complicated procedures for taking leave, everyone else can leave at any time, which is very chic.
Because transportation is not very developed now, although the two families have a good living standard, few of them have seen the sea. As for the scenes of sunshine, beaches, and islands that Zhenzhen described, the group of people couldn't even imagine what it was like.
The plane flew up to the clouds. Compared to Li Muwu's expression of despair, Old Lady Li was extremely excited. She half-lying on the window seat, looking at the sea of clouds below the plane and the endless blue sky above, she felt like she was dreaming.
"You see, life is really different every day." Old Lady Li patted Wang Sufen's hand next to her: "Do you remember the year Zhenzhen was born? We were still worried about filling our stomachs at that time. We thought that if we could have enough food every day, we would have a good life. Look at us now. We have more than enough food. We have become gods. How capable we are!"
"Don't even mention going to the sky. Even if you want to go to the moon, Zhenzhen can get you there." Wang Sufen said with a smile, "Mom, where else do you want to go? Tell Zhenzhen right away. I'll go with you."
"I won't go to the moon." Old Mrs. Li has watched all kinds of programs in recent years. She is not the kind of old lady who knows nothing. "What's good about the earth? There is nothing. You have to dress like a bear. It's stupid and jump around. I won't go." She lay back in the chair and sighed comfortably. "I just want to take a boat. But if we go to the island, we can at least take a boat."
Zhenzhen stuck her head out from the back and said with a smile, "We have several kinds of boats, yachts, speedboats, motorboats, you can take whichever you want. By the way, you can also go into the sea on our island, but you are old, so it is a bit dangerous."
Old Lady Li waved her hands and said, "I'll stay on the surface of the sea. Let your silly brothers try underwater and come back to tell me." A group of people laughed. Old Lady Li looked at the spectacular sight of the sea of clouds outside and waved to Zhenzhen, "Dabao, come here and take a few more photos for grandma. When you get home, develop them and send them back to Beicha. They'll be so jealous!"
Zhenzhen picked up the camera and stood up, pointing the lens at Old Lady Li, smiling, "Ready, one, three, three!"
"Cheese!" Old Mrs. Li showed her eight perfect dentures.
