Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 313 Calling for help under the typhoon
Sister Taozi said: "Actually, last year's turmoil was just a rumor, and there has been no movement on the opposite side for a year. Now we can say that the source of last year's turmoil does not exist. Since the source does not exist, the economy of Hong Kong Island will return to the previous state." , we can take advantage of the current economic downturn and when housing prices have halved to buy real estate at a low price, and wait for the appreciation in the future.”

Yi Weidong was also convinced by this reason. Last year's turmoil caused many wealthy people to sell their properties and run away, which dragged down the economy. Only then did factories close down and housing prices plummeted.

This year's economy has stabilized compared to last year, and the streets have returned to normal. It is a good time to buy bottoms. Sister Taozi can analyze such results, and it seems that she has picked up a great talent.

Yi Weidong said: "Then I will listen to Sister Taozi, you help me choose a villa, and then choose a few floors of industrial buildings, and I will show it to the boss behind me."

Yi Weidong used the excuse that he was an agent, and only said that the boss behind him was inconvenient to come forward, and that he was a distant relative, so he would take care of the property by himself.

Sister Taozi asked: "I see, can I ask what the approximate budget is?"

Yi Weidong counted his cash and said, "About tens of millions of cash."

Sister Taozi was very surprised and said, "What kind of floor do you want to buy with so much cash? You can just buy an industrial building and rent it out when the economy improves. There will be a long-term rental income."

Yi Weidong read in the newspapers that the production line or factory was transferred, at most one floor was sold, and he had never seen an advertisement for the sale of the whole building.

Asked: "Can I buy the whole building? I haven't seen such an advertisement either?"

Sister Taozi replied: "Generally, the sale of the whole building is not published in the newspaper, and all transactions are made through intermediaries, or information is exchanged in social circles such as some hometown associations."

"Oh I see."

Ruan Tao explained a few words, it turned out that the current economic downturn, if the property is sold in a big way, it will easily cause panic among tenants, which is not conducive to daily operations.

"Well, just choose a few industrial buildings and villas nearby."

After thinking about it, he asked again: "How much does a luxury house on Deep Water Bay Road cost now?"

Sister Taozi recalled briefly: "The area is generally between 50 and 100 million, but there are not many luxury houses for sale. Buying this depends on the timing."

Yi Weidong was surprised: "Is it so cheap?"

Sister Taozi was so angry that she really wanted to give it a shot. What was she talking about? The minimum wage is only about 50 yuan now, and the average factory worker is only 100 yuan. Sister Taozi took a deep breath and patted her huge chest gently. I got impatient, who let this be what my boss said?
Said: "My young master, are you really using the money as money?"

What Yi Weidong compares is the value of future generations. Houses worth hundreds of millions can now be bought for only a few million, just like Bai Jian. Do you want to buy a few more houses and keep them?

As soon as I came up with this idea, I was rejected by myself. I can't live in Hong Kong Island all year round, and I have to live in a courtyard house for at least half of the time. If I make a high profile, I will get the attention of the mainstream media. This is not in line with Yi Weidong's strategy of making a fortune in a low-key way.

Yi Weidong instantly thought of the reason, and said, "Sister Taozi, I remember that before, didn't you always ask for a million dollars?"

Sister Taozi explained: "That was the price of the year before last, and that price has long since disappeared."

Yi Weidong was overjoyed, it was cheap to buy land and real estate now, but it was a pity that he couldn't buy much with tens of millions of funds.

Yi Weidong said: "Then trouble sister Taozi, collect information on industrial buildings and villas, and leave four or five of each to be selected. We will study and decide later."

Sister Taozi said, "Okay, I understand."

Yi Weidong thought about it and said: "Although the industrial building has not decided which one to buy, you can recruit management personnel first, and then you can quickly take over and build a watch assembly line as quickly as possible."

"I know, I'll start working on it tomorrow."

After talking about the business, sister Taozi stood up and said goodbye. There was still Xiaomi at home alone, so I was worried after a long time.

Yi Weidong planned to finish the coffee in his hand before going back, it was all bought with money and should not be wasted, right?

In less than 2 minutes, Yi Weidong's eyes blurred, and a charming young lady sat down opposite, with big wavy curly hair, big round earrings, and bright red lips opened and said: "Little brother buys me a cup of coffee OK?"

After finishing speaking, she winked charmingly: "As long as 30 yuan, my sister will be yours today."

little brother?Your whole family are little brothers, who do you look down on?
Yi Weidong smiled and leaned forward, and the smile on the face of the young lady opposite was lowered, and Yi Weidong said in his unproficient Hong Kong:
"30 yuan? You're not worth it, three yuan is about the same."

After Yi Weidong finished speaking, he got up and left the coffee shop. When he got home, he saw Ah Zhen struggling in front of his door, as if she wanted to knock but didn't.

Yi Weidong slowed down, and stood still when he came to the front, waiting quietly for Ah Zhen to see when he could find himself.

Ah Zhen raised her arm and finally made up her mind to knock on the door three times. She didn't hear a response, so she whispered, "Aren't you in the house? Are you out fooling around?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Sister Azhen, don't make people innocent, who fooled around?"

Ah Zhen turned around with a blushing face, and seeing Yi Weidong came back from the outside, she said awkwardly: "I made supper, you probably don't like it, so I'll go back to the room first."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go to his own room, Yi Weidong took Ah Zhen's hand and smiled, "How do you know I don't like it?"

Ah Zhen shook off Yi Weidong's hand and said, "Ah Hui is in the room."

Yi Weidong followed into Ah Zhen's house, and Ah Hui was sitting on the sofa drinking sugar water, when she saw Yi Weidong coming in, she snorted and ignored Yi Weidong.

Yi Weidong took a bowl of sugar water from the coffee table and asked, "Ah Hui, did you cook this?"

"I cooked it, put rat poison in it, eat it quickly."

Yi Weidong stirred it with a spoon, and said, "Next time you take the medicine, you have to stir it well, you know? Otherwise, you will be discovered."

Ah Hui burst out laughing, and laughed after a while: "A Wei, you are so funny."

Ah Zhen sat down and said: "You guys, why do you bicker every day when you get together, can't you talk well?"

"No!" The two said in unison.

A-Zhen held her forehead and said, "I can't stand you guys. I just heard from the radio that the typhoon will make landfall tomorrow night. We need to prepare more food. There will be heavy rain the day after tomorrow."

Yi Weidong asked, "Is the typhoon very strong?"

Ah Zhen said: "Yes, just try not to go out when the time comes."

"Ok, I see."

The next day, Yi Weidong bought some more ingredients, prepared snacks, and put a lot in the space.

The wind picked up in the evening, and soon the wind was strong, followed by heavy rain as promised.

Yi Weidong was worried and went downstairs to check the shop again, and returned to the second floor after confirming that there was no problem. At this time, even the radio signal was cut off.

After a while, there was a quick knock on her door, and Yi Weidong hurried over to open the door. Ah Hui said in a panic, "Ah Wei, can you come to our room to accompany us?"

Yi Weidong said in surprise, "Ah Hui, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ah Hui said: "Nonsense? What are you talking about? Sister Zhen and I are a little scared, why don't you come and sit with us for a while? It's a pity that I cooked sugar water for you yesterday."

Yi Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a good thing, and said, "That's it, okay."

When she came to the opposite room, Ah Zhen was wrapped in a blanket and curled up on the sofa. Seeing Yi Weidong coming in, she hurriedly shouted, "A Wei, come and chat with us, but I can't sleep, even the radio has no signal."

Yi Weidong sat down and said, "Isn't it just windy and rainy? What's there to be afraid of?"

Ah Hui was about to hand Yi Weidong a blanket and said, "Of course you have to be afraid, the glass will be broken by some flying stones and sundries. You will know how severe the typhoon is."

Well, Yi Weidong has never personally experienced the weather of a typhoon, but he just took it for granted.

The terrible broken glass scene of the three chatting together did not appear, and the two women did not return to the canopy bed to rest until Ah Hui kowtowed and fell asleep.

Just as Yi Weidong went back to the house to wash up and wanted to sleep, there was another knock on the door. Just now, his younger sisters A Hui and A Zhen were both asleep, so why did they knock on the door again?
Opening the door with doubts, there was Sister Taozi who was already drenched outside. Yi Weidong asked, "Sister Taozi, why don't you take an umbrella? Is there something urgent?"

Sister Taozi said out of breath, "The glass in my house was broken by stones just now, and Xiaomi got a fever in the rain, do you have antipyretics here?"

Yi Weidong had never prepared medicines before, so he shook his head and said, "I don't have any. Azhen's family does not have fever-reducing medicines."

Sister Taozi anxiously said: "Then what should I do? The pharmacy on the street will not be open at this time."

Yi Weidong said: "Miss Taozi, don't worry, I'll go and have a look with you."

"Then trouble you."

Yi Weidong took an umbrella from behind the door and handed it to Sister Taozi. The two braved the storm and came to Sister Taozi's house. It was only a short distance of 30 meters, but Yi Weidong's body was already wet. up.

When the two of them entered the room wet, they heard the howling wind in the bedroom, mixed with rainwater also pouring in from the window.

Sister Taozi's daughter, Xiaomi, was already curled up on the sofa. Yi Weidong shook off the water stains on his hands first, touched Xiaomi's forehead and felt that it was already hot.

Yi Weidong said: "Miss Taozi, Xiaomi already has a high fever, you should go to the hospital immediately!"

Sister Taozi worried, "How do I get here?"

Yi Weidong said: "Clean up, I will carry Xiaomi on my back."

Yi Weidong blamed himself secretly, why didn't he think of buying a car first, and now that there is an urgent matter, he can't release the car in the space.

Besides, the steering wheels of Hong Kong Island cars are all on the right side of the car, and Yi Weidong's cars still have the steering wheel on the right side, so they can't go on the road.

Sister Taozi said, "Can that work?"

Yi Weidong patted his chest and said, "I'm in good health. I can definitely send Xiaomi to the hospital."

After speaking, he lifted Xiaomi's blanket, and Sister Taozi helped to put Xiaomi on Yi Weidong's back. Yi Weidong adjusted his posture by holding Xiaomi's thighs, and went out to wait for Sister Taozi to hold an umbrella and let her as far as possible. Xiaomi should get less rain.

There have been no pedestrians on the street for a long time, many cars parked on the side of the road are being baptized by the heavy rain, and some blown branches are blocking the road.

The torrential rain hit his face a little painful, with Sister Taozi following behind, Yi Weidong had no other choice but to rush forward against the wind and rain.

By the time they arrived at the emergency room, all three of them were drenched in water.

The nurse on duty asked Yi Weidong to send Xiaomi to a private room, and then kicked Yi Weidong out.

Yi Weidong just sat slumped on the recliner at the door, took a short rest and went into the bathroom to change into the hospital gown given by the nurse. When he came out, he saw that Sister Taozi had also changed into a hospital gown, and asked: " Sister Taozi, how is Xiaomi?"

Sister Taozi threw herself into Yi Weidong's arms and cried bitterly, Yi Weidong was so confused that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Sister Taozi cried: "Thank you, Ah Wei, I have a high fever of 104 degrees, if I don't bring it here in time, it will burn out Ah Mi's brain."

104 degrees?Yi Weidong thought to himself that this should be in degrees Fahrenheit, but he didn't know how much it would be after conversion.

He patted Sister Taozi on the shoulder and comforted him: "Sister Taozi, this is what I should do. Now I will recover soon in the hospital, and Ami will be fine."

Sister Taozi let go of Yi Weidong after crying and said, "Awei, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Don't talk about outsiders, let's go in and see how Ami is doing."

After coming in, the doctor said, "I've already had antipyretic injections, and I can just take two bottles of intravenous drip."

Sister Taozi said, "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome."

Yi Weidong gathered his mother and daughter's wet clothes together and put them directly in the corner of the room.

Sister Taozi said: "Awei, you should also take a rest, you can't go back now and you can only wait for dawn."

"It's okay, I'll go out first."

Yi Weidong came to the hospital's convenience store, bought some snacks, biscuits and two cups of milk tea, and handed a cup to Sister Taozi when he came back.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yi Weidong reached out and touched Xiaomi's forehead. It didn't feel so hot. It seemed that the antipyretics had already worked.

Half an hour later, the two of them waited for the doctor to come to confirm that there was no problem, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and there would be no problem if the fever subsided.

Xiaomi woke up slowly after finishing her IV drip. Seeing that she was sleeping in a hospital ward, she asked, "Mommy, what's wrong with me?"

Sister Taozi said: "You were caught in the rain just now and had a fever. If it wasn't for your Brother Awei, your brain would burn out."

There are no security phones on both sides, even if you want to call the ambulance, you can't do it. If it weren't for Yi Weidong, sister Taozi would not be able to get Xiaomi to the hospital.

Ami turned around and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Awei."

Yi Weidong said: "What are you being polite about, it's all trivial matters."

Ami was also sleepy and soon fell asleep. Yi Weidong asked, "Sister Taozi, do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, it's easy to get a driver's license."

"Then go buy a car tomorrow first. If there is something urgent, you can't be so embarrassed."

Sister Taozi said, "That's fine, after you buy a house, it will be convenient for you to commute to and from get off work."

Seeing that Sister Taozi was very tired, Yi Weidong said, "Sister Taozi, it's already midnight, let's rest too."

"Alright, just squeeze in at night."

Yi Weidong took two folding beds and propped them up. After lying down, he said good night to each other. Today, he spent a whole night with Sister Taozi and soon fell asleep.

The storm had calmed down a lot in the morning, Yi Weidong paid the medical bills and three hospital gowns, and took a taxi back home with yesterday's wet clothes.

He went back to take a shower, changed his clothes, and knocked on Sister Taozi's door with a large piece of glass.

Seeing Yi Weidong coming in, Xiaomi smiled and said, "Brother Awei, the size of the glass you are holding is also different?"

Yi Weidong came in and closed the door, shook the glass knife in his hand and said, "It's no small thing for me to have this."

Xiaomi smiled and said, "Brother Awei, you are awesome, and you can scratch glass."

"It's the little things."

When Yi Weidong entered the bedroom, he saw Sister Taozi bending over to make the lower bunk of the iron frame bed, her upturned buttocks showing a perfect shape under the tight wrapping skirt.

Yi Weidong shouted: "Sister Taozi, let me install a piece of glass for you."

Sister Taozi straightened up and saw Yi Weidong's face turned red, and asked, "Awei, are you feeling a little sick? I made ginger tea, would you like a bowl?"
