The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao stayed up all night. They lay there with their eyes wide open. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of any other way to contact Liu Ligan and Meng Ping.

Xiao Zhao asked: "Dear, tell me, if it is really like what you said, Hainan will be destroyed..."

"It's not true or false. It's the real estate bubble bursting. This is definitely true. CCTV has reported it. How could it be wrong?"

"Okay, then what will happen to Zhuangzi, Lao Meng and the others?"

Zhang Chen sighed: "Both of them have so much land, they will probably go bankrupt."

“What happens if you go bankrupt?”

"Then there will be no money."

"If you don't have money, you don't have money. Don't we still have money? We can give it to them."

Zhang Chen almost laughed. He said, "What use is our little money to them? They calculate it in terms of tens of millions or billions."

"Then it's enough to eat. As long as there is still food to eat, I don't think it's a big deal. Even if there is no food to eat, it's not a big deal. Just make more money."

"That's what I say, but there's still a difference between having nothing to eat and having nothing to eat."

"What's the difference?"

"For example, when we had no money, we couldn't afford to eat Pian'erchuan at Kuiyuan Restaurant. At worst, we would eat at Huixing Road. If now, you only have the money to eat Pianerchuan at Kuiyuan Restaurant in your pocket, can you bear it? ?”

"Doesn't that mean Zhang Xiangbei can't even afford milk powder?"

"right."

"There are so many workers, aren't they even unable to get their wages paid?"

"certainly."

"Oops, can't I even pay the electricity bill in the store? I can't afford taking a taxi every day and I have to ride a bicycle again?"

"yes."

Xiao Zhao thought for a while and sighed: "That's really different."

"It's just different. This has never happened before, and it has happened before, and never again. How can it be the same?"

As Zhang Chen spoke, he thought that going from not having it to wanting to have it is hope, a process of struggle. From having it to not having it, it would probably be despair, and the "pop" sound is the process of the bubble bursting.

Liu Ligan went from washing the building every day to returning to Yongcheng, where he could hold a big banquet in the Zhexi Building and invite as many people as he wanted. He became a guest of the secretary and the county magistrate, and even asked him to borrow three million from himself. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Twenty million, don't use your own money, I will pay you even 20 million. How big will the difference be?"

Those bankrupt millionaires and multi-millionaires in the movie, when they went bankrupt, it didn't mean that they couldn't even afford food, but why did they still jump off the building to commit suicide? What they couldn't stand was this gap.

Didn't Azheng also say, "All the real estate bosses in Haicheng have fled now, and those who didn't escape probably climbed to the roof and were about to jump off the building." Well, Liu Ligan and Meng Ping are the biggest real estate bosses in Haicheng. …

Zhang Chen almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xiao Zhao seemed to have thought of the same question as him. Xiao Zhao asked: "My dear, what Xiao Wu said on the phone is that Zhuangzi and Lao Meng... could it be possible? Bah, bah, bah, they are not the same at all. That kind of people."

"Yeah, they're not."

Zhang Chen said, but he felt that his voice was empty, as if it was ringing far away. He heard himself sighing, and smiled bitterly in his heart, that's because you are not in their position at all, you are not at all. You know, there are many things that people who are not in that position cannot understand at all.

Two dogs barked in the distance. Zhang Chen sat up in excitement. Xiao Zhao asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Give me your brother quickly."

Xiao Zhao doubtfully took the mobile phone on the bedside table to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen opened it and hurriedly pressed 0898-6704431. The call went through, but no one answered. Zhang Chen looked at the number on the screen and murmured He said, how come no one answered, this number is correct.

"Where are you hitting?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"I'll go to the small shop in Bin Ya Village."

Yes! Xiao Zhao also sat up. The owner of that small shop must know the whereabouts of Liu Ligan. He would pass by the door of his shop every day when he went out and came back. Although it was already past two o'clock in the morning, the small shop would be open until It's past five o'clock, and there won't be anyone there now.

Xiao Zhao went over to take a look, laughed, and told Zhang Chen that it was 6704471, not 431. Zhang Chen quickly redialed the number. After the phone rang twice, he was picked up. Zhang Chen quickly asked, are you Bingo? Yacun?

A familiar voice came from the phone: "Ruoh."

Both Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao laughed, Xiao Zhao nodded desperately, and Zhang Chen said: "Hello, boss, I am Zhang Chen who used to live in Yilin's house."

"Oh, you are the Curly Hair from Zhejiang."

"Yes, boss, have you seen the pole?"

"The one from the Yilin family? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Approximately how long?"

"Ten days... half a month like this."

"Boss, I'm Xiao Zhao." Xiao Zhao called from the side.

"Haha, Xiao Zhao, oh oh oh oh."

"Boss, have you seen Wenwen and Qianqian?"

"They are no longer here."

"Where did you go?"

"When I went back to my hometown, I saw the pole that sent them away. That pole probably lost money in real estate speculation and went bankrupt."

"Ah, boss, how do you know?"

"He used to drive a car or ride a motorcycle, but now he rides a bicycle here. There are no motorcycles or cars anymore."

Zhang Chen thought for a while and said: "Boss, can you help me go and see if there is anyone there?"

"Then wait here."

The boss said and put down the phone and went to check for Zhang Chen and the others. After a while, he came back, but he was not alone. Yilin's mother followed him. Before Zhang Chen could speak, Yilin's mother shouted loudly and asked them if they knew. Where is Liu Ligan? He hasn't come back for several days. Could it be that the building cannot be sold?

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao asked Yilin's mother how she knew Liu Ligan's building could not be sold. Yilin's mother told them about the day she and Wenwen Qianqian went to Liu Ligan's company to buy off-the-plan property, and he cried. Come here, Yilin’s mother told them.

Zhang Chen's heart felt cold as he listened. It seemed that his guess was correct. Liu Ligan did not escape this disaster.

Zhang Chen comforted Yilin's mother in turn and told her that Liu Ligan would be fine. He should be on his way back now. When he arrived, he would ask him to call the store.

After hanging up the phone, the two of them couldn't sleep anymore. Zhang Chen was thinking in his heart that Liu Ligan's building has always been the most eye-catching in Haicheng. If even his building could not sell a single off-plan apartment, If he goes out, it goes without saying that Meng Ping will only become worse.

Zhang Chen didn't even dare to say this to Xiao Zhao.

It was already dawn outside. Zhang Xiangbei woke up crying. Xiao Zhao sat up and fed him. While feeding him, tears rolled down his face. He cursed, "This pole, and Lao Meng, what are they doing?" He doesn’t even tell us everything, he’s still Beibei’s godfather!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them simply carried Zhang Xiangbei and the national telephone directory and went to the factory. In the office, they closed the door. They took the phones and dialed all the numbers again. Still haven't found anyone.

Xiao Zhao flipped through the phone book and told Zhang Chen a number. Zhang Chen asked, where is this?

"Lin Yiyan's bank." Xiao Zhao said.

Yes, looking for Lin Yiyan, the fire of hope rekindled in Zhang Chen's eyes. He quickly dialed the number and the call went through. A voice on the phone asked Zhang Chen coldly who he was looking for?

Zhang Chen told him to find Lin Yiyan.

The other party said that Lin Yiyan was not here.

"Excuse me, where are you going?" Zhang Chen asked.

"How do I know where I am? You ask me, and I still want to ask you. It's been almost a month, and she has disappeared. She has a lot of bad clients on her hands, and she has to be dealt with by others." The other party said angrily. Said, "By the way, don't call her again. She will definitely be fired when she comes back. I won't let her stay for one fucking minute longer!"

"Fuck you!" Zhang Chen yelled into the microphone.

…

The two waited in agony for another two days, but still had no news.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Chen and He Hongmei had a meeting with Harada Shino and the film director at the Friendship Hotel. They finally finalized the final plan. Next, Zhang Chen waited for the other party to report the relevant measurements of each actor. They We have found workers to find raw materials for production. The work here can come to an end for the time being. Zhang Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them went to the store. Xiaojuan asked He Hongmei if she had something to do. She wanted to take Zhang Xiangbei with her to see if he was asleep, so she walked out alone. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said:

"I want to go to Haicheng."

"What?" Xiao Zhao was surprised.

"Waiting like this is not the answer. I want to go to Haicheng to find them." Zhang Chen said.

"But if you go, what if you meet those people?" Xiao Zhao shook his head, "No, I don't agree, it's too dangerous."

"No, think about it, it's been so long, are they still waiting at the airport every day, and will they find me as soon as I arrive?"

"Then you have to stay in a hotel, right? The hotel is full of their people. They only need to go to the front desk to see who has checked in. Don't make it too convenient."

"I don't need to stay in the hotel. When I arrive, I will go directly to Yilin's house."

"Are you crazy? Do you know how many of those bad guys on the streets of Binya Village are from them? I'm afraid someone will tip you off before you even get to Yilin's house."

Zhang Chen had to admit that Xiao Zhao's idea was right. Those bad guys in Binya Village, including that ghost and his men, you don't know how they are inextricably linked. Going to Yilin's house is too dangerous. .

But if they don't go, Zhang Chen feels that he can't help it. Without knowing their whereabouts, he really can't even concentrate on other things.

"I don't have to stay in a hotel. I live in Haikou Park. They can't find me anyway?" Zhang Chen said.

"Okay, let's go together, take Beibei with us," Xiao Zhao said.

"You're crazy. I'm alone. If I encounter those bad guys, I can still find a way to escape. How can I escape with you and Zhang Xiangbei?"

"I'm not crazy. I told you, Zhang Chen, our family will die together even if we die together. I won't let you go alone. Then we two are worried at home. If you want to go to Haicheng, then okay, I I don’t want to stop you, I also want to find them, let’s go together, I’m not afraid of anything, I just want to be a family together.”

Zhang Chen was silent. He couldn't afford this price. He knew that Xiao Zhao would definitely do this if he said it. Even if he went there secretly, it would be useless. After Xiao Zhao knew about it, he would definitely join forces. The nearest plane will fly over, and there will be a family of three in Haicheng. He is looking for Liu Ligan and Meng Ping, and Xiao Zhao is looking for him with Zhang Xiangbei in his arms.

He didn't know if those bad guys were still looking for them. At least the bad guys who knew them would definitely report them to Hong Ganglu when they saw them. Even though it had been so long, for Hong Ganglu, it still didn't matter. Finished.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk", someone knocked on the door.

Xiao Zhao said come in.

The door opened and it was Xiaoli. Xiaoli said, Boss, someone is looking for you.

Xiaoli stepped aside, and two people appeared outside the door. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao saw it and screamed. Zhang Xiangbei was frightened and woke up, crying wildly, but they couldn't care about him anymore, and both of them rushed forward Towards the door.

Standing outside the door were Wu Zhaohui and Wei Wenfang.
