Chen Jianan has few disadvantages, but has many advantages. There is really nothing to say about mobility. After making up my mind to learn English well, I really started to study hard.
Every day, I take the initiative to pull Qiao Wen to teach him words and sentences, and I have the bad habit of many beginners, I like to say words loudly and jump out hard one by one.
Seeing Qiao Wen yelling "Goodmorning" in the morning, and saying "Goodnight" before going to bed at night, Qiao Wen was often startled by surprise. Moreover, he is bold and thick-skinned when it comes to learning. Whenever he bumps into a ghost on the street, he will suddenly run over and speak a few words of newly learned English loudly to him.
Some foreign police officers who were patrolling near their home were blocked by him for three days in a row. They were so harassed that they detoured when they saw him.
A week passed quickly, and it was time to go to the racetrack to watch the horse race.
People in Hong Kong love to bet on horses, and the racecourse on race day is crowded with spectators. Although rich people and ordinary people watch the same horse race, they are treated very differently.
For example, Zhou Chaozheng has an exclusive box in the viewing area of the racecourse.
When Qiao Wen's Chen Jianan was led to the box by his subordinates, the boss Zhou had already drank tea, and there was a beautiful woman sitting beside him, she was Mrs. Zhou from the last reception, Qiao Wen saw it—in the pictorial, it was Su Zhizhi, a famous movie star in Hong Kong City.
The rich and the famous, this is the normal state of the upper class in Hong Kong City, and it is the favorite topic of ordinary people to talk about after dinner.
"Uncle Ninth!" Qiao Wen greeted with a smile.
Zhou Chao smiled and nodded towards the person: "Come on, sit down!" He didn't introduce the beauties, but asked people to pour tea for the two of them.
This big star has a good level of tea art. He poured the tea like a performance. After pouring the tea, he said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, take it easy."
Zhou Chao was sipping his tea, and asked casually, "Did the two of you buy a good horse?"
Qiao Wen said: "My Brother Nan knows horses well, so he chose the number two horse at random."
"What a coincidence?" Zhou Chaozheng raised his brows and laughed loudly, "The number two horse happens to be my favorite horse, Lei Ting."
"Really?" Qiao Wen pretended to be surprised, "It seems that we can win money today."
Zhou Chaozheng smiled and shook his head: "I guess I'll disappoint you. My horse Thunder was originally a sick horse. Someone else took it. I saw how pitiful it was, so I bought him and kept it for a year. My health is well maintained, but the horse race is not a big pass, and it is very face-saving for me to be last in the race."
"Everything has a soul. Uncle Jiu treats a sick horse so kindly. I believe your beloved horse will fight for you. Maybe you will be able to run well today."
Zhou Chaozheng said: "If this is the case, it is probably because of the luck brought by the two little friends."
Qiao Wen smiled and took a sip of his tea. The tea was the best Biluochun tea, and it was fragrant and sweet in his mouth. He didn't want to feel the sweetness after the tea flowed over his tongue, but frowned suspiciously.
There is a world of difference between Zhou Chaozheng and Zhou Chaozheng in terms of status and wealth, and there is really no need to make friends with them immediately. If it's just to get that piece of wasteland, isn't it too much to treat two commoners like this
He always felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't see where it was.
"It's about to start, let's see how lucky you are today?"
Qiao Wen's contemplation was interrupted by Zhou Chaozheng. He stood up with others, lay down on the balcony, and looked down at the horse race that was about to start.
As soon as the order sounded, ten armored jockeys rode ten fat and strong racehorses, galloped out of the gate, and galloped across the green ground. On the viewing platform with a sea of people, the sound of cheers and cheers was overwhelming and deafening.
It turned out that Zhou Chaozheng's No. 2 horse had been running countdown, but suddenly accelerated in the last 200 meters.
"Come on!" Zhou Chao clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.
It wasn't just him, even Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan couldn't help cheering at the moment when Lei Ting rushed to the finish line first.
"Little Qiao, you've won!" Chen Jianan hugged Qiao Wen excitedly.
Qiao Wen let him hold her, and felt that although the horse race was short, it was exciting to watch.
Zhou Chao was clapping his hands and turned around, and said with a loud smile, "It seems that the two friends are really my lucky stars. Come, come, let's have a cup of tea to celebrate."
The man returned to the table and clinked glasses with tea instead of wine.
As expected, Boss Zhou was playing cards according to common sense. Just as Qiao Wen was immersed in the excitement of the horse race just now, he suddenly took out a check, slid it across the table and handed it to the two of them. In front of him: "Two little friends, here is five million."
Qiao Wen put down his cup, his eyes fell on the check on the table, he understood, but looked at him pretending to understand: "Uncle Jiu, you are..."
Zhou Chaozheng smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not telling you the truth. I invited two friends to the racecourse today, just to watch the race. By the way, I have something to discuss with you."
"Uncle Jiu said it directly."
Zhou Chao said in a hurry: "I know that the two of you have opened a real estate company and acquired a lot of land. I think you two know that our company has real estate development business. In the past few years The good land has been badly scratched by everyone. The land in my hand has basically been developed, and now I urgently need new land. I just learned that the two of you took a piece of clean water This is a wasteland in the middle of the mountain near the bay. This is five million yuan, which is four times the land you acquired last year, and it is much higher than the current market price. Do you know if the two young friends can give me that piece of land?"
Sure enough, it was for that piece of land, Qiao Wen said with a smile: "Uncle Nine, this is really a coincidence, we have ten or so pieces of land in our hands, if Uncle Nine is interested in other lands, we have no problem , but only this area has been planned, there is really no way."
Zhou Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "So you two are going to build a house?"
Qiao Wen nodded: "That's the plan."
Zhou Chao was holding the finger of the teacup, gently rubbing the edge of the cup, silent for a moment, and said: "If you build a building by yourself, the land seems too big. If you want to develop a real estate, with your current capital, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult. Talking about the cost of building a building means opening up various departments, so you have to have a background. To put it bluntly, there is no one who can make money by building a building." He paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, " In fact, as long as there are no bad habits, five million is enough for most people to live comfortably for a lifetime, and someone else should accept this check without hesitation."
Qiao Wen smiled and said: "Uncle Nine is right, we are young, we can afford it, so we want to try it ourselves."
Zhou Chao was putting away the check, leaned back in his chair with a smile, looked at him with an unpredictable expression, nodded and said: "It seems that you two are people with big ideals. Although I come from a rich family, I always appreciate the ambition of self-made Since the two of you are willing to part with each other, I'm so reluctant. Anyway, I'm determined to make friends with you two friends." After finishing speaking, he raised his teacup, "Uncle Jiu wishes you both a bright future. The brocade festival rises."
Qiao Wen said: "According to Uncle Jiu's auspicious words, it is our honor to know Uncle Jiu."
After drinking tea, Zhou Chaozheng took the two of them to see his horse again. It was already evening when we left the racetrack.
After getting into the taxi, seeing Qiao Wen's worried appearance, Chen Jianan asked strangely, "Little Qiao, what's the matter?"
Qiao Wen shook his head: "I just think Boss Zhou is a bit strange."
"How strange?"
Qiao Wen looked up at him: "Do you think it's strange that he, a big boss from a famous family, took the initiative to befriend us two poor boys? At first I thought he was just for that piece of land, but he was caught by me. After the refusal, he looked completely in the right place, and not as certain as I thought he would be."
Of course, this is strange. In theory, that piece of land has a chance to earn 20 to 30 million. This is the most ideal state. In fact, it can earn up to Ten million yuan is already considered a big mistake.
Ten million is of course a huge number, but for the top rich man in the city like Zhou Chaozheng, ten million is obviously not too much. So it seems plausible that he must take this piece of land.
What surprised Qiao Wen was that after confirming that they would sell the land, Zhou Chaozheng still had a very warm relationship with the two of them. Club, recommended to friends from all walks of life. It looks like he is really sincerely supporting young people.
Qiao Wen has never believed that there are inexplicable interests, let alone between people with completely equal status. One person loves another person for no reason, so they must want to get something from him.
It's just that now he can't think of anything else about Chen Jianan besides the land that is worthy of Zhou Chao's serious interest.
Chen Jianan didn't think what he said: "Whatever he is, anyway, a rich man like him is going to cheat us of money."
Qiao Wen was amused by his thoughts, and thought about it immediately, it seemed to make sense, as long as it was not cheating money, there was nothing to worry about.
He looked at him emotionally. In fact, there are some people who want something in return, but there are others who are nice, at least Chen Jianan and Qiao Wen are.
He sighed silently as if disappointed, but he was too clear about what he was sighing about.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Chen Jianan, who was wearing a vest and shorts, came to Qiao's house to report on time. He straightened his body and greeted loudly in broken English: "My dear brother, good evening!"
Qiao Wen shook his head amusedly: "Grandma just fell asleep, please keep your voice down, don't disturb the old man."
Chen Jianan stuck out his tongue, followed Qiao Wen into his room, jumped onto the bed nimbly, and sat cross-legged: "Hurry up, teach me the new sentences I need to learn today."
Qiao Wen is quite satisfied with how studious he is now, so he took the learning cards specially made for him by the bookmaker, and went to bed and sat with him.
In fact, Chen Jianan's memory and learning ability are not good. In the past, his poor study was nothing more than lack of learning. Now he wants to learn, and he has such a good teacher as Qiao Wen, so naturally he can get twice the result with half the effort. Every day, every time is smoother.
Tonight, it only took half an hour to learn the plan for an hour. Even Qiao Wen couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
"Brother Nan, you're wrong! If you go on like this, you can go to university." Qiao Wen joked as he put down his book.
Chen Jianan rolled happily on his big bed, and said: "That's right, I used to love learning, if I love learning, I'd like to see Hong Kong City University, I'm afraid it's already gone Cambridge and Oxford."
Qiao Wen saw that he would be brilliant if he gave some color, lay down and kicked him lightly: "When you can read newspapers in English, then talk about such big talk."
Chen Jianan chuckled, turned over, stretched out two strong long legs to wrap around his legs and rubbed them for fun.
Qiao Wen said: "Brother Nan, your legs are so hairy and itchy!"
"Hairy legs mean strength." Chen Jianan sat up halfway, and put his legs side by side with him, one white and one black, and it was obvious, he let out a sigh, "I just noticed your legs The hair turns out to be so little, like a girl, white and tender."
As he said that, he grinned with a smirk, and stretched out his hand to pull his pants, "Let me see if you have very few here?"
Qiao Wen opened his Lushan claws: "Don't make trouble!"
Chen Jianan withdrew his hand with a smile, and muttered, "Again, I haven't seen it before."
Ever since Qiao Wen became this Qiao Wen, he has been a little ashamed to show his body, because this body is indeed too manly, although the parts are complete and the configuration is within the normal range. It's just that the whole body is too white and tender.
He tried to bask in the sun, but because his body was too weak to withstand the sun, he had to give up.
Being made a joke by Chen Jianan at this moment, he couldn't help but glanced up and down at the guy next to him. Wheat-colored skin, a solid body, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, are clearly healthy and energetic, full of youthful hormones.
He thought for a while and said, "Brother Nan, it's your birthday at the end of the month, how do you want to spend it?"
Chen Jianan was full of concern and said: "I grew up so big, every birthday, my aunt would cook me a bowl of noodles. Children from poor families pay attention to this."
Qiao Wen smiled: "Are we poor now? Twenty years old is quite meaningful, and we should have a good time."
Chen Jianan thought for a while and said, "Then let me talk to you a couple of times, let's find some place to play for a day?"
Qiao Wen nodded: "Yes, if you have time, think about it slowly, there are quite a lot of places to play in Hong Kong City. I was in good health before, so I didn't go there much."
Chen Jianan said with a smile: "Then I have to seriously find some fun places."
Qiao Wen went out to play alone and widowed, so I looked forward to it just thinking about it.
Qiao Wen knew what Chen Jianan expected, because the next day he started to prepare for the land development.
Usually, apart from going to work at Mengzhen Clothing, he has to find time to collect various information about the real estate industry, because Chen Jianan loves to read, so he can count on him as a helper. He was devastated.
However, with Tang Xingwei now, Fang really lived up to his expectations. He was a very hardworking young man who freed Qiao Wen from the cumbersome materials after only one day of work, and the information he collected was abundant. The information is comprehensive and complete, and it is clear at a glance after sorting out.
To develop land, the first step is to prepare materials and apply for approval.
They prepared a lot of materials, invited the supervisors to dinner, and stuffed big red envelopes to sort them out one by one, but the documents were never approved.
Although Qiao Wen had expected it, the one after another bumped into a wall, it just made him burnt out.
He sort of understood what Zhou Chaozheng said, that it is difficult for people with no background to do real estate in this era. Of course, he has every reason to suspect that the difficulties belong to such a big man as Zhou Chaozheng. Add fuel to the flames.
He decided to fight with the people in Yamen again.
Since it is because there is no background, then find a background by yourself.
"Little Qiao, it's very hot on Saturday, why are you drinking soda and blowing fans at home, what are you doing in the barnyard area?"
It was indeed very hot in Hong Kong City in early September. Qiao Wen was wearing a sun hat, and he was still sweating from the autumn tiger. He said, "Come to Mr. Ouyang."
"As for the famous architects you mentioned?"
Qiao Wen nodded.
"He lived here like a great architect?"
Qiao Wen smiled: "Yes, I heard that he recently helped repair the burnt-out yuwu area at his own expense."
After the development procedures failed to go through smoothly, he changed his mind and had to find a big shot who could endorse them. So I thought of Ouyang Yuan.
As a world-class master architect, Ouyang Yuan is a big shot in the construction industry. If he can be invited as the designer of this project, obstacles at all levels will automatically retreat when they see his name.
Of course, so far he's just thinking about it. After all, Ouyang Yuan's status is too high, and he has been semi-retired for several years. The last time he designed the Hong Kong City University Music Hall was five years ago. These years are basically volunteers and lectures, and even the top rich people invite him to move.
Letting such people come out of the mountains and design houses for them is indeed a bit like a dream.
Everything has to be tried, at least get in touch first, to see what kind of person he is.
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will be imperiled in a hundred battles.
"Hey, Awen Anan, why are you here? Are you looking for me for something?"
The two were walking through the Yuwu District, when a familiar figure came towards them, it was Tang Xingwei who lived in the Yuwu District. He carried two loads of stones on his shoulders, and in the sweltering weather, he was sweating profusely, and his T-shirt was clinging to his body due to the sweat.
Qiao Wen asked rhetorically, "What are you doing?"
Tang Xingwei said: "Did we have a big fire at the beginning of the year? It burned halfway, and now there are kind-hearted people helping to build it. I will contribute a little while I am free."
Qiao Wen nodded, and said, "I just heard that there are many homeless people who are living in a shed, so I thought I could help them out."
Chen Jianan looked at him in confusion.
Tang Xingwei: "Awen Anan, you two are so kind."

Qiao Wen touched his nose guiltyly: "Come on, let me go with you to see how the repairs are going?"
"Okay, then follow me."
Although Chen Jianan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qiao Wen's gourd, when he saw Tang Xingwei was carrying the burden, he was panting before taking a step, and immediately clicked his tongue in disgust, and forcibly grabbed the burden: "I'll come I come."
Tang Xingwei saw that he was carrying the burden and walking like flying, wiped his sweat thoughtfully, and sighed: "A'nan is really strong."
Looking at the relaxed guy in front of him, Qiao Wen shook his head with a smile and said, "He has nowhere to use his energy all day long, can he grow up?"
The three of them talked while walking, and when they reached a house under repair, Tang Xingwei raised his hand and waved, "Uncle Ouyang, here comes the stone you want."
