Chapter 107 A trace of Hou Jie's clue
"Perhaps! Everyone has their own ideas."

Liu Mang really didn't understand Boss Hou's thoughts, but he just chatted casually about things like demolition and relocation, and didn't want to waste time on this issue.

After all, strangers, the longer the chat, the more likely accidents will happen, and the chances of feeling disgusted are high. Liu Mang must get the clues he wants in the shortest possible time, before Boss Hou doesn't grow tired of him. .

"Boss, is everyone in your village surnamed Hou?"

After paying, Liu Mang directly opened a bottle of Red Bull and drank it while peeling peanuts to eat, ready to chat with Boss Hou.

Boss Hou looked at Liu Mang quite pleasingly at night, and he didn't show any signs of impatience. He turned down the volume of the TV hanging on the wall, and grabbed two handfuls of peanuts to chew on, "Yes, the whole village His surname is Hou, but now it’s a mess, some people from other villages have moved here.”

"Oh!"

Liu Mang frowned, and then stretched out: "I guess someone saw a business opportunity, moved here to build a house and open a shop!"

"The young man is really smart, he can get it right."

Many people in the village saw business opportunities when the country was building roads, built houses on both sides of the road, and boosted the town's economy.

Some villagers from other villages also want to come to the town to develop.In the beginning, this village was all surnamed Hou, and all the nearby land and mountains belonged to them. People in other villages wanted to spend money to buy foundations. Some villagers who were lazy and lacked money could not stand the temptation of money. Bought all the land left by the ancestors.

In the beginning, he did make a fortune. He bought a car, built a small bungalow, and replaced all the furniture with new ones. He lived a very comfortable life, which made many villagers who didn't sell it jealous.

But gradually, after three to five years, these lazy and lazy villagers squandered all their money... life is worse than that of a dog. They have no land, no economic income, no food income, or they have to work for others To make money, or can only continue to sell land.

The valuable land is only on both sides of the road, and the land far away from the road is worthless at all, and no one buys it.

"Money is something that makes people flock to it. You can do anything for money. The most important thing to be a human being is to be able to withstand temptation. People who cannot withstand temptation will fail completely sooner or later."

Looking up to drink, Liu Mang drank the whole bottle of Red Bull, and said boldly: "Some people say that money is the root of all evil, but I think that the root of all evil comes from the greed of the human heart. Those who can withstand temptation have a bottom line of principle." Unless the trend is the general trend, if you throw a few hundred million to him, he will not be moved, just like the Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain and the monks in the Buddhist hall, do you think money will work for them?"

"Young man, I can't see that you are so young, but you have such a high awareness." Boss Hou felt more and more chatting with Liu Mang, as if he had forgotten the old friends, and chatting with Liu Mang was very pleasant: "The road at the door The road was a fish pond at that time, more than 200 meters long, and the fish pond was mine. At that time, the government said that it wanted to build the road and filled the fish pond. That was the opening of the country. Naturally, I have to comply with the government's needs. Otherwise, it will be given to me. Tens of millions are not willing to sell this fish pond.”

"Beside the fish pond, some land is also mine. Someone saw a business opportunity and rushed to me to buy land. The asking price was very high, but I refused to sell it. Those lands are my last. If they sell, I will not even sell them. To eat green vegetables, you have to go to the vegetable market to buy them..."

Recalling what happened back then, Boss Hou also felt that it was not easy.

People who wanted to buy land back then found his daughter and wife, persuaded them in every possible way, and often came to visit with gifts, but he drove them away.But some young villagers couldn't stand the temptation and sold the land, and now the elderly are living a miserable life.

They have to go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables, but these old people have no financial income, how can they afford it, and their sons are worthless. Thinking about it, I feel a little bleak.

"Actually, in this situation, there have been lessons learned in big cities. It is best not to squander the purchase of demolition subsidies. Those who are capable should invest in venture capital, and those who are not capable should be saved. Otherwise, the status quo of life will be restored if they are squandered. As it is, some will be even worse." Liu Mang felt that this topic was a bit heavy, and didn't want to continue discussing it.

But Boss Hou, who is a young man, seems to have little knowledge and culture. Apart from nagging about the injustices in the village, it seems that he can't talk to him.

In fact, Liu Mang also knows some trivial things in the village very well, so it's meaningless to talk too much.

"By the way, young man, where are you from?" After chatting nonsense for seven or eight minutes, Boss Hou remembered that he hadn't asked Liu Mang where he was from!
There are very few outsiders in their town, usually the nearby villagers come to buy things.

After all, this is not a tourist attraction, let alone a place of interest, who would come here if it was not to visit relatives and friends.

"I'm so far away! Here in Guangxi." Liu Mang smiled hoarsely: "Boss Hou, do you usually manage this grocery store alone? You can't be too busy! Doesn't your daughter help take care of it?"

"Guangxi? It's really far away."

Boss Hou frowned. Although he has never been out of the province, he has never seen the world, and he has never seen a map, but he knows that Guangxi is far away. "My daughter has a job in the city, and she only goes home on Friday night. not there."

"Actually, the business of my shop is not very good, except for the holidays, and some old people like me who come to buy rice, oil and salt, that is, primary school students in the town, who come to buy some snacks. It’s not bad to earn a few dollars, and you can only meet big customers like you during the holidays.”

Their town is not very big, there are only two junior high schools and three elementary schools.It stands to reason that with so many students, the daily income should be high, but there are many grocery stores in the town.

Of course, the main reason is that his grocery store is not the closest to the school, nor is it the most prosperous area in the town, so the business is just so-so, earning only a few thousand yuan a month.

If it is a festival, there may be five or six thousand, and if it is a Chinese New Year, it will be tens of thousands.

But very little.

So in normal times, one person can come here without the help of others.

"Hahaha! It's so, Boss Hou, let's get another box of Red Bull and peanuts! Your peanuts are good, delicious, and the price is cheaper than in the city. You can buy them here, and you can buy them in the city." Liu Mang Haha laughed and asked the boss to weigh an extra ten catties of peanuts.

"Young man, what you said is right. Although the packaging of the things in our country is not very good-looking, they are cheap and of good quality. The things in the city are too expensive. Let's talk about some fruits. They must be fresher than the city. It's a pity, this thing It’s not easy to save, and it’s too far to drive back to Guangxi from your place, so I don’t recommend you to buy it.” Boss Hou showed an excited smile.

Liu Manduo bought a box of Red Bull and Peanuts, which was of course a good thing for him.

This thing can be kept for a long time, and the price is cheaper than in the urban area. He doesn't feel that he is taking advantage of Liu Mang by selling it to Liu Mang, but is saving money for Liu Mang.

"Boss, you really know how to do business."

Liu Mang glanced at his phone and found that today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday. Boss Hou said just now that his daughter will come back on Friday. That is to say, he will know whether Boss Hou's daughter is Hou or not tomorrow night. clean.

With this clue, Liu Mang didn't plan to continue the chat, and came back tomorrow night: "Boss Hou, it's a bit late, I'm going back to the hotel first, and I'll come back tomorrow. I'm tired after driving all day."
