Break out of the courtyard

"The proposal to exchange equipment for money and then rent land was not passed!" Director Wang put down the phone, looked at Zhang Heping and said: "'The elimination of private ownership of land does not require the elimination of land rent, but the transfer of land rent to society.' Engels's words, It's theoretically possible, but the boss doesn't want you to stand out."

Zhang Heping spread his hands and said, "What should we do? They have been discussing it for a whole day. We can't let Tingmei Trading Company give it away for free!"

"If I give it away at this time, my layout in Ridao will be labeled as mainland China like China Resources, and subsequent operations will not be so smooth."

"What about the ten-year national bond?" Director Wang stared into Zhang Heping's eyes, trying to capture his truest thoughts.

Zhang Heping calculated the time and concluded that funds should be fully withdrawn from Japan Island in 90. However, to be on the safe side, he added a little more time, "Fifteen years! I need a little time buffer."

"In addition, after the maturity of this national debt, the principal and interest can be donated to the Ministry of Education for the construction of basic education in remote areas of the central and western regions." Zhang Heping was testing the policy again, "The condition is that the Magic City Peace Hotel will be jointly owned, leased, and sold in the future. time; under the same conditions, I have priority!”

Director Wang was slightly surprised and asked: "This is more than one billion yuan! Are you sure you want to donate it to the Ministry of Education when it expires?"

"Aunt Wang, those equipment, just like the fish and meat I donated to the street, are not things I care about." Zhang Heping smiled lightly and said: "You'd better call them first, in case they don't agree! "

……

No. 95, Nanluogu Lane, front yard.

When the paper casing and foam of the refrigerator were removed, the people gathered outside the door and window of the east wing couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

When the paper shell and foam of the washing machine were removed, there was another burst of exclamation.

"In the past, getting married required three turns and one ring. In the future, I'm afraid you will need three major items: a color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine!"

"Nonsense, how much does this cost? How can a man get a wife if he really needs these three gifts?"

"I guess I will need a black and white TV, and I will also need a washing machine; with the washing machine, my wife will not be afraid of doing laundry in winter."

"The voltage of the color TV is unstable, so you have to buy a household voltage stabilizer. Otherwise, the color TV is easy to break."

"Sister Ma, you have given three large items to the relatives of the Zhou family. Have you bought them all for your own family?"

"Ma Banshi, will your Deputy Director Zhang go out to study this time when he comes back?"

"Xiuzhen, it's so late, why don't you go back and cook? Don't starve your grandchildren."

The surroundings were noisy. Ma Xiuzhen, who had just arrived following the carriage pulling the washing machine, smiled and talked to everyone.

"Hey, everything is fine now, except that there are too many grandchildren. One has to eat this way, and the other has to eat that way. It's hard to cook food for them." Ma Xiuzhen said very Versailles: "It's better to have fewer children, not so much tired!"

After Tang Xin and the others had seen enough in the three rooms, they started to greet everyone to the Capital Hotel.

It was Zhang Heping who proposed the dinner party in the evening, asking Tang Xin and the others to go to the Friendship Store to buy three large items to give away. It was also Zhang Heping who proposed it, in order to test some people's attitudes.

If some people react violently, Zhang Heping will not hesitate to take his wife and children back to Hong Kong Island and come back in a few years.

"Mom, how about I stay at home and wait for Chengwu?" The second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family looked at the TV, refrigerator, and washing machine awkwardly, for fear that they would be stolen.

Chen Liqin sighed inwardly. The second son probably went to brush cards again. This second daughter-in-law is short-sighted. How can these household appliances be as important as establishing a good relationship with the Zhang family's daughter-in-law?

"Okay! I'll take Yujie over." It's not easy for Chen Liqin to lecture this second daughter-in-law, as long as the eldest daughter-in-law Ma Lili has a good relationship with her cousin Zhang Heping and his family.

From now on, let the grandsons and granddaughters have a good relationship with the Zhang family's grandsons.

As Tang Xin and the others left Courtyard No. 95, the door to the east wing was closed, the curtains were drawn, and the crowd of spectators finally dispersed.

Then, everyone in Courtyard No. 95 turned their attention to the main room in the middle courtyard.

Just when the refrigerator and washing machine were moved into the front yard, Lou Xiao'e had already pulled the reluctant Silly Zhu and took her son "He Xiao" into the main room where the kang was burning.

"Tonight, my son and I will stay at your place for one night, and you can find a place to sleep by yourself." Lou Xiao'e sat at the head of the square table in the room and said:

"You only have one night to think about it. We, mother and son, will return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. Whether we can meet again in the future depends on your decision tomorrow morning."

……

"I'm asking you, why do you want the Peace Hotel in Shanghai? Can't you use the Capital Hotel?" After Director Wang asked this question, his face was full of helplessness. Maybe she also felt that this question was a bit...hard to explain!

Zhang Heping replied casually while reading the newspaper: "I just want the Peace Hotel sign. If Capital Hotel is sold to me, can you allow me to change its name to Peace Hotel?"

Director Wang spoke into the phone, waited for a moment, and then put down the phone.

"Huh... I finally agreed!" Director Wang let out a long breath, "You go back and transport the equipment back to China first, so as not to have long nights and dreams. In addition, you have to carefully consider the schooling of your children. This is very difficult. important!"

"Understood, ideological education!" Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Although I usually teach them, they still almost lose their sense of belonging."

"So..." Zhang Heping stood up, paused deliberately, and then said, "I have to trouble Granny Wang to find a school."

"It said above that as long as you are willing, you can arrange for your children to attend Yuying School."

"That's a good relationship. I'm worried that if they go to Capital Eleven School and become my juniors, it will mess up the seniority."

"You brat...I won't go to the Capital Hotel with you tonight, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Okay! I'm going to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, so I won't be coming over."

After Zhang Heping said goodbye to Director Wang, he first went to No. 95 Nanluogu Lane to take a look. From Zhou Lao's second daughter-in-law, who looked wary, she learned that Tang Xin and the others had already gone to the Capital Hotel, and quickly left the courtyard.

"He..." Yan Bugui just opened the door of the west wing and came out. Before he could say hello, he saw Zhang Heping's figure disappearing at the entrance of the courtyard.

A deep sense of loss came to his heart. For the first time, Yan Bugui doubted his life and reflected on whether he had calculated too much and missed a koi that jumped out of the dragon gate!

The street lights were dim, but fortunately the white snow reflected the light, so it didn't look dark.

Zhang Heping walked out of the alley and saw a man sitting on a rickshaw.

"Are you still working?" Zhang Heping asked casually.

The man on the tricycle immediately sat up and said anxiously: "Hey! Sir, where are you going?"

The voice sounded like that of a young man, but he just didn't know why he didn't go home so late.

After Zhang Heping got into the car, he said calmly: "Capital Hotel."

"Go over there and I'll charge you 3 cents. Do you think that's OK?"

"Ok!"

After the price was agreed upon, the young tricycle driver immediately turned around, stepped on the pedal, and whisked Zhang Heping to the door of the Capital Hotel.

After Zhang Heping got out of the car, he casually handed him 1 yuan and walked towards the Capital Hotel.

"This gentleman, I haven't asked you for any money yet!"

Zhang Heping said without looking back, "From now on, just call me sir or madam. Don't act like a Manchu slave!"

All the way into the Chinese restaurant, the two tables where the children were sitting were already using chopsticks, and the mothers were standing there, supervising their children's meals.

The father sat at a table, smoking and chatting about all kinds of things.

"Peace comes!"

"Uncle Chang, Aunt Dai, Aunt Chen..." Zhang Heping greeted everyone around and started the first reunion dinner with so many family members.

Mother Ma Xiuzhen was at another table and asked with concern: "Son, what did you say in the meeting with Director Wang? They won't let you go at noon."

"We will discuss the issue of Xiaobei and the other six returning to the capital to study, as well as the housing issue."

"Xiaobei and Xiaonan are going back to the capital to study?" Ma Xiuzhen was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Have you decided which school to go to?"

"Yuying School!"
