Chapter 218 Peking Opera
"Let's go on, I won't let you suffer. Since you think highly of me, I have an illustrated book of ancient relics and a Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace here. You can choose it yourself."

Li Lang rolled his eyes.

The Xuande Furnace of the Ming Dynasty is authentic and good, especially the patina glowing on the body of the furnace, which is a few years old.

The illustrated book of antiquities is also an old object.If Li Lang's first judgment is correct about the collections of the Ming Dynasty imperial palace.

Li Lang looked like an old god, but he seemed not at all interested in the two things in front of him.

"Old man, since you don't want me to suffer, then you will follow me from now on. You can classify the antiques under my hands, and I will pay you 200 yuan a month."

It was the first time that this tattered Hou saw Li Lang.

At first glance, there are such interesting things in the world.

"How do you know that I can look at antiques, don't be afraid that I will cheat food and drink."

Li Lang's words directly blinded Poor Hou's eyes. Since ancient times, no one would give them a chance to start a new life when they were down and down.

Right now, Li Lang only met him for such a big deal and promised him 200 yuan a month as a salary. This is not something ordinary people can do.

"You have been reduced to such a state, and you still have the arrogance of a collector. In this matter, I, Li Lang, are convinced."

Poor Hou was completely moved by Li Lang's words.

"Okay, I don't care about being a beggar after I've been reduced to such a situation, and I'll make a living with you from now on."

Broken Hou patted the dust off his body.

In addition to the illustrated book of antiques, the old objects contained in the rag bag are this humble Ming Dynasty Xuande stove.

"If I'm right, you should be a tattered man, right?"

Poor Hou followed Li Lang, step by step.

"You kid is really not simple. You even know my nickname so well."

"To tell you the truth, it was my master, Admiral Nine Gates, who brought me into the antique business. Compared with him, I think I'm not as good as him."

"Hey, this name is a bit big, no wonder the little brother is so capable."

"What you are going to do with me is also very simple. I just need you to collect all kinds of antiques in Dajing and the surrounding areas, and the things will be placed in my courtyard at No. 508, Building [-], Xilazi Street."

Li Lang didn't show any disdain or indifference towards the tattered Hou in front of him.

"That yard is where you usually work. As long as there is a chance to find something wrong, I will ask someone to deliver the money to you."

"Boy, you and I have never lived, and you dare to treat me so highly. Your generosity is enough to make me admire."

Broken Hou couldn't help looking at the young man with his eyes.

It seems that a young man in his early twenties, who can do what he looks like, looks at the entire capital, except for this one person.

Li Lang had already watched "Under the Zhengyang Gate" before, so he knew the temperament and temperament of Poor Hou from the bottom up.

If he didn't have a little bit of insight, it would be a little difficult for his business empire to stand up.

Thinking of this, Li Lang's idea of ​​going south gradually began to sprout.

Leave Zhengyangmen Licheng Detention Center.

Cheng Qianli's milk tea shop business plummeted.

After being reported by a stranger, his milk tea shop business was completely wiped out.

Not only that, but his original income of several hundred yuan also disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Originally, he wondered why his good milk tea business was sued.

Unexpectedly, after asking around, a piece of news came to his ears like a bolt from the blue.

The person who reported him was none other than his friend Li Lang.

And this Li Lang is not just the behind-the-scenes boss who owns more than a dozen milk tea shops.

He is also the head of the household of most of Xilazi Street.

Those eager to live in high-rise buildings sold their courtyard houses to Li Lang at a low price.

Just busy with the things here, Li Lang is already very busy.

"This Li Lang is too insignificant. He only cares about making a fortune for himself and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all."

Cheng Qianli didn't send out his complaints sooner or later, but he waited until Wang Qiang got off work to speak out in front of her.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding between you?"

"Misunderstanding, let me tell you, Wang Qiang, from now on, my relationship with brother Li Lang will be canceled. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, white swords will come in and red swords will come out."

Cheng Qianli's words completely surprised Wang Qiang.

"Wang Qiang, you haven't seen Li Lang's true face in Lushan. One day you will see his face clearly. By that time, it will be too late." The first inflation in [-] came fiercely.

The candied haws that used to cost five cents turned into ten cents in a blink of an eye.

Rice that costs two or three cents a catty suddenly grows to forty-five cents in a few days.

The price of pork, which has not risen for a long time, has risen steadily in this special year.

Streets, alleys.

The voices of people talking are endless.

"What's going on these days? How come food prices go up when they say they're going up."

"Yeah, seeing that prices are rising day by day, how come wages are like that iron block, unshakable."

"If this goes on like this, we ordinary people will probably drink the northwest wind."

Li Lang clearly remembered that in this year, the country's annual savings interest rate was as high as 7%, and the five-year savings interest rate hovered between 12.56% and 12.98%.

Anyone who has studied economics knows that during this period, the country adopted a loose economic policy, which caused a large amount of base currency to be invested in the market, resulting in a very serious rise in prices.

How do ordinary people know such news.

They just went to the market early in the morning, and suddenly found that the price of soy sauce was twice as expensive as before.

Like a thunderbolt exploding suddenly on a sunny day.

The climax of the berserk spread silently among the people.

"Oh, what's wrong with this person today, how come he even snatched up the salt in the canteen so well."

Early in the morning, Grandma Wang Qiang, who only bought a pack of salt, complained to Mama Li when she came back.

"Isn't that right? I just bought five packs of salt, and some people bought more than 20 packs."

"Oh, it seems that we have to store some goods, otherwise we will not be able to live in the future."

Grandma Wang Qiang patted her thigh, hating herself for being so young that she couldn't compete with those people.

"By the way, your family's Li Lang is smart, come back and ask, what should we store?"

"Don't worry, Grandma Su, I'll keep this in mind for you."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back."

In the afternoon, Wang Qiang, who had just finished work, swayed her bicycle and passed by Li Lang's house in a fit of anger.

Seeing Mama Li, Su Meng just grinned in embarrassment.

The skin laughs but the flesh does not laugh.

This Mama Li is a sensible person, at first glance, she knew that it was Li Lang who had a conflict with her.

So, when Li Lang appeared at the door of the house on a motorcycle.

Mama Li didn't give Li Lang a good look.

"Mom, is the meal ready? I'm starving to death."

"Wait, Mom has something to ask you."

As soon as Li Lang entered the door, he realized that there was something wrong with his old lady's face.

"What's the matter, is this?"

Li Lang was stunned for a moment, seeing his old mother's posture was more terrifying than holding a family criticism meeting.

"Tell mom honestly, what happened to you and that girl from the Su family? Why did she look at me so strangely today?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I have a good relationship with her. It's okay."

Li Lang went to and from get off work normally, and had never said or done anything excessive to Wang Qiang.

"Impossible, you must have something to hide from Mom."

"My mother-in-law, if your son keeps this matter from you, it will be a thunderbolt."

After being told by his mother, Li Lang remembered that he hadn't asked Wang Qiang out for ten days and half a month.

"Mom, don't worry, just Wang Qiang, it's definitely a matter of talking quickly, the key is that I still have a lot of things to deal with now, after I stabilize, I will marry her and give you a lot of money." Fat boy."

When Li Lang said this, Mama Li laughed from ear to ear.

"Forget it, I don't care about the things between you."

Mother Li patted her son on the shoulder.

"By the way, grandma Wang Qiang came to ask today, and said that it would be better to store something during this period of time."

When Mama Li said this, Li Lang immediately became interested.

"In my opinion, the best thing to garrison is to garrison more houses."

Li Lang said jokingly.

"You're kidding mom again, aren't you? There's no reason why this house should be vacated."

"Mom, don't worry about this matter, I'll explain it to Grandma Wang Qiang in the backyard."

Without saying a word, Li Lang came to Su's house in the backyard quietly.

"Cuckoo cuckoo."

"Cuckoo cuckoo."

Li Lang yelled a few cuckoo calls.

"I said, Wang Qiang, is your grandma deaf? Why did I hear the birds chirping in our yard just now?"

"Grandma, you must have heard it wrong. How can there be any bird calls? It's late at night."

Wang Qiang knew that this was Li Lang's secret signal.

However, after Cheng Qianli finished complaining, her attitude towards Li Lang suddenly changed 180 degrees.

This meeting is so angry that I don't even want to talk to him.

"What's the matter with this girl today, she usually comes after just two gurgling sounds, why she made several groaning sounds today, as if she was fine."

Without further ado, Li Lang took advantage of Grandma Wang Qiang's topic to break into Su's backyard.

"Grandma Su, I'm Li Lang, my mother asked me to come over and tell you to store something."

"Oh, it's Li Lang, come in."

Grandma Su tremblingly opened the door.

As soon as Li Lang entered, Wang Qiang directly closed the door of the back room.

"My family is cute, I don't know what medicine I took wrongly, but when I saw you, I became like this."

Grandma Su did not forget to explain.

"Grandma, didn't you say you want to stock up on something? Let me tell you, at this stall, stocking up on houses, big furniture, big refrigerators and the like is definitely worth the money."

What Li Lang said made Grandma Su completely confused.

"Well, Grandma Su, when did your Wang Qiang calm down, I'll come over again."

Li Lang walked out of the Su family gate in such a grand manner.

Perhaps watching Li Lang leave like this made Wang Qiang feel even more resentful.

"Grandma, don't talk to that Li Lang from now on, he's dishonest and bad."

"I said Mengmeng, what are you doing, why are you talking about Li Lang so well?"

"Grandma, anyway, you will listen to me in the future, and stop talking to Li Lang."

Looking at Wang Qiang's pursed mouth, Grandma Su looked even more innocent.

Early the next morning.

Li Lang checked the housing prices in Xilazi Hutong, and it was a full 20% increase from when Li Lang bought it.

But it is this 20.00% that prevents many people from wanting to buy them.

As a result, in less than a month, the real estate in Li Lang's hands abruptly doubled.

Although, in the milk tea shop business, his cost has virtually doubled.

But compared to his real estate, his overall assets have more than doubled before.

It can be said that this inflation, in fact, he is the biggest winner.Under the Zhengyang sect, although the original owner Li Lang has a deep affection for Wang Qiang.

However, Li Lang, who came across time, did not have that kind of patience.

A man has to wait 20 years to marry a big girl with yellow flowers.

As a result, there was not even a child.

This kind of thing, any pure man with great ambitions would not agree to it.

Let alone 20 years, even ten or eight years, Li Lang would feel that time is too long.

Fortunately, there are all kinds of temptations in this flamboyant world waiting for Li Lang to unravel.

"Go, I won't play with you anymore."

36 strategies, walking is the best policy, Li Lang smiled slightly.

After returning from the Li family in the backyard, his determination to go south has been completely made up.

When people in Dajing City were still immersed in the era when everyone received a fixed salary and everyone yearned for an iron rice bowl.

Li Lang began to shift his gaze to other places.

Fragrant City and Shencheng, these two cities separated by only a wall, are about to usher in the dawn of a new era.

The golden age is everywhere.

Time is money slogan is at the forefront.

Li Lang has already made an appearance of eagerness for such a thing.

As for the question of time, he still had to see how things were handled on Dajing's side.

The first thing is that the operating costs of milk tea shops have already increased.

In this case, all his employees unanimously agreed to increase the price.

However, Li Lang's way of doing the opposite left everyone dumbfounded.

"Remember a truth for me, the more you are in inflation, the less you should be frightened by inflation."

What Li Lang meant was to warn everyone that at a time like this, if you can guarantee that the price will not increase, it will definitely be a big profit.

"Li Lang, go crazy. The cost of evaporated milk has increased by 20%. If the quality remains the same, our profit will be at least [-]% lower than before."

Huzi looked at Li Lang with a helpless expression.

"Yes, boss, inflation will shrink our assets, and finally our hard earned money will be wiped out."

The giant girl Wang Huahua said in a playful and cute way.

"Yes, I agree with Huahua's opinion, the price must be raised, otherwise our business will definitely lose money."

Even Cai Xiaoli agreed with their point of view, but she didn't raise her hand when she nodded at the end.

"I have the final say on this matter, one yuan per cup, and this price will remain until the end of this year."

Li Lang spoke decisively.

A few days after Li Lang spoke, something unexpected happened.

It turned out that the original daily sales of [-] cups of this Piaoxiangxiang milk tea shop suddenly tripled.

Calculated in this way, the rising material and labor costs are removed.

Not only did Li Lang's milk tea shop not lose money, the original monthly income of [-] yuan reached [-] yuan in just a few days.

Looking at Piaoxiangxiang's impressive performance.

Cai Xiaoli looked at Li Lang very puzzled.

"Our boss is not simple. He is the only one who can come up with such an idea. If it were us, the price must be raised first."

"This means that Li Lang has brains. If it were me, the business would have lost money."

That night, there was a report on the operation and management of milk tea shops in Zhengyangmen Evening News.

Main title: "Inflation, why can't we stick to the bottom line."

Subtitle: "On the Way of an Educated Youth to Do Business Successfully."

Signed by Wang Huahua, an intern reporter from Dajing City.

However, Li Lang never cared about such reports.

If Wang Huahua, the deputy mayor of a certain city, hadn't mentioned the past reports of the world's richest man on the Internet many years later, I'm afraid such a thing would have been forgotten in the long river of history.

While Li Lang finished the matter, he arranged to find a nanny for Mr. Guan.

After he left like this, the life of Mr. Guan, who could still have something to rely on in his later years, completely lacked something in his life.

As a three-good student who respects his elders seriously.

Li Lang naturally wanted to arrange this matter properly.

After much deliberation, Li Lang was the first to exclude Meng Xing.

According to Meng Xing's usual style.

Cheng Qianli was reported by him in all likelihood because of her. Although she may not have told Cheng Qianli directly, it must have something to do with her indirectly.

He speaks without restraint, neither big nor small, if he gets to Mr. Guan with his temper, it is estimated that he will not be able to deal with it every day.

Li Lang didn't say anything.

I found Meng Xiaozao for Mr. Guan.

This girl is quiet and doesn't talk much at ordinary times, and she can sing Peking Opera well.
