I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 407
With the test results, Lu Jia and I went back to the house we rented near the hospital, and told Lao Mi and my mother the good news... especially my mother, who was incoherent and burst into tears at the same time... I I understand this feeling so well, it's like regaining a life, and I want to cherish everything I see.

At this moment, I felt that I had a new understanding of the world, and I felt that I could let go of some things that I couldn't let go of before; what I didn't want to pursue before seemed so precious.

In the afternoon of that day, we sent Lao Mi to the ward; the next day, the attending doctor gave a treatment plan of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy based on the results of the examination.

Lao Mi has officially entered the stage of treatment.

The treatment process was very painful, because chemotherapy would bring many adverse reactions. Lao Mi began to lose his hair and vomit... and the radiotherapy left him with extensive trauma... But this is luck among misfortunes, at least There is still hope alive.

……

After almost ten days, Lao Mi finished the first session of treatment, and there will be four sessions to follow, during which he will rest for a few days, in order to give his body time to breathe.

I am also planning to take advantage of this gap and go back to Dali once.

During my absence, some unpleasant things happened in Jiulongju: some intermediary structures also began to infiltrate Jiulongju, they rented shops from some owners at low prices, and then transferred them out at high prices... …for them, the quality of the lessee is completely irrelevant as long as it is profitable.

Because of their bottom-line operations, a barbecue merchant came to "Jiulongju" recently... a lot of garbage is generated in their shop every day, and they don't clean it up in time, which has seriously affected the entire The hygienic image of Jiulongju.

In this regard, we are also very helpless. After all, our studio is not an official organization, and we have no right to prevent those owners from renting their shops to intermediaries, and then the intermediaries can earn the difference.

However, I really hate this kind of short-sighted behavior. These owners who step over our studio and only look at the immediate interests will definitely ruin the ecological environment of Jiulongju again. At that time, not only will they suffer losses, but all of us The value of hoarding shops will also be greatly reduced because of this... and the advertising and publicity costs we invested in advance, as well as labor costs, are all in vain.

And the reason they do this is simply because we don't give them rent for the first year, and those intermediaries will give them a small amount, but they can't see that we use the saved rent cost to make a living for Jiulongju. How many things have been done, if there is no upfront payment from us, how can those intermediaries rent these shops from them!

I'm so disappointed in humanity.

……

In the evening, I flew from Chengdu to Dali, and Chen went to the airport to pick me up.On the way back to the studio, we communicated about this matter, and I asked him: "How is the current situation in the commercial street?"

Chen Jin sighed first, and then replied: "One word, mess... I don't know what those stupid owners are thinking... They rent their shops to those intermediaries who only care about making money and can hold a responsible attitude To take into account the ecological environment of the entire commercial street... Damn it, when Jiulongju was dead, everyone ignored it... Now that it is popular, it has started to run to this place without a bottom line to make money ...how the hell are these people so fucking fucked up?!"

After a short pause, he continued: "I really hope that the relevant departments can give us an authorization to let our studio do the overall planning of this commercial street... If they continue to play without a bottom line, nine Sooner or later, Longju will have to be abolished... I heard that in two days, there will be a pedicure shop and KTV coming in, it's really going to turn this street into a red-light district!"

"It's not practical to authorize it... Let's think of other ways."

"What else can I think of?... The property rights of the house are in the hands of others, and we have no right to interfere with their buying and selling behavior."

I quickly weighed it in my brain, and then said to Chen Jin: "Do another round of intensive advertising, this time change the focus of the publicity, mainly to highlight the investment value of Jiulongju... There are not a few people who do it in Dali It is a very successful official account; most of the users who follow are people who have settled in Dali from other places. They have no shortage of money and investment needs... Once their funds come in, we will quickly sell the shops in our hands. "

"Is it reliable?"

"It's not a big problem... The intermediary has now set their sights on Jiulongju. This is a bad thing, but it's actually a good thing... In order to make more money, they will definitely exaggerate the investment value of Jiulongju to customers. You put us down The case of buying shops at a high price and selling them at a high price is disclosed to them, and then let them publicize it... The value of the shops in Jiulongju will soon reach a high point... We just need to seize the right time to sell, and that's it."

Chen Jin nodded, and after being silent for a while, he said again: "You are ready to give up Jiulongju, aren't you?"

I replied in a low voice: "This is our painstaking effort, I don't want to give up... But human nature really can't stand the test... In fact, when I was preparing to build Jiulongju, I thought that such a day would come , but I didn't expect it to come so soon... I thought we would do it with our heart and let the owners see our sincerity and achievements, and they would trust us. However, with such a small profit in front of them, they would lose If we lose our resistance...then what is the value of our sincerity?...Hehe, we can change the market, but we can't change human nature...I'm quite disappointed!"

Chen Jin nodded deeply, and then asked again: "You stock up on these shops just to guard against such a day, right?"

When Chen Jin asked this question, I couldn't help but think of my other brother, Tie Nan... I don't know how he is doing now... I dare not face him, but this is also It's not my fault, if he was willing to give me a little trust in the first place, instead of being wary of me everywhere, it would definitely not end up like this now.

I'm suddenly tired of the word "humanity"...

What is the purpose of living so calculatingly every day?

With such exhaustion, I didn't answer Chen Jin directly, I just said: "Those owners who have given us trust, we can't let them suffer no matter what... When the value of the shops here reaches a high point, quickly remind them The shops in hand are for sale... If there are those who are unwilling to sell, try to find a long-term tenant for them, at least not let them suffer from the rent, if it is not possible, the subsequent rent will be supplemented by our studio them."

"Well... I really didn't expect it to be so sudden!"

"A lot of things in this world just happen suddenly?"

"It's also... who can predict things like a god, you can only prepare early!"

……

After that, the intermediary began to add fuel to the flames, exaggerating the commercial value of "Jiulongju", and taking the presence of large KTVs as a selling point and a case, to fool investors, saying that "Jiulongju" will become another "people's house" in Dali. "Road", and "Jiulongju" showed good investment potential in the early stage, attracting many investors...especially those Wenzhou people who had tasted the sweetness on "Renmin Road" one after another. Longju bought shops in bulk in this place.

Under our persuasion, a small number of owners sold the shops in their hands after the value reached a staged high point; of course, most owners felt that there was still room for appreciation, so they stubbornly held the shops in their hands and refused to sell ...And this kind of behavior created the illusion of scarcity, so the value of the store reached a high point again.

It was at this high point that we sold all the shops in our hands and resold them. The price was between 280 million and 350 million, which was worse than expected, but we did make a lot of money.

Yes, our enthusiasm and sincerity failed to exchange for the prosperity of "Jiulongju" in the end, but it exchanged for a bunch of banknotes.

……

At the same time, Lao Mi finally finished the treatment for more than three months, and the treatment was very successful.During this process, apart from going to France to take a leave of absence from school, Lu Jia has been by his side for the rest of the time, which can be said to be the greatest contribution.

And it's time for me to face up to my relationship with Lu Jia; in addition, with Yang Sisi's original investment, it's time for me to give her a result.

This afternoon, I was sitting in a coffee shop, looking at the fallen leaves outside the window in a trance... It seemed that in just a moment, it passed from early summer to late autumn...

When I saw a pretty woman sitting on a bench under a tree, I realized that Ye Zhi had been away from my world for more than half a year... Time has washed me away and made me believe that she is real gone.

I lit a cigarette and pulled the "Rickwell" postcard out of my purse... I hadn't received a hint like it in the past few months.And this postcard became an "unsolved case"... When I didn't want to pursue it anymore, it seemed to have faded, and it was quietly placed in my handbag for a long, long time.

……

Lu Jia finally came. She put on makeup and wore a very beautiful dress... I looked at her and pressed the postcard with my handbag.

This time, I took the initiative to ask her out...
