The world of film and television begins from childhood

Wang Ying thought about the courtyard house she saw today. Although it was smaller than the previous one, the building looked much better and the cleaning was quite clean. However, the location was not as good as the previous one.

Her words immediately attracted the interest of Xu Lin and the others.

Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "Don't Zhou Chen have two houses in the capital? Why did he buy a courtyard house again? Is he going to live in a courtyard house?"

Xie Qiao was very interested: "Is it that kind of courtyard? Our Denghua Hutong used to be a courtyard. Zhou Chen bought the courtyard. It seems that he misses the living environment of the courtyard in the past. I am also very interested. If I have time, I can Take me with you to see it, maybe you can dream back to your childhood."

"It's a two-level courtyard. I don't know what your previous courtyard looked like, but the local buildings should be similar."

Xu Lin asked: "House prices in the capital are quite high. It should cost Zhou Chen a lot to buy a courtyard house, right?"

Wang Ying looked at her and said, "I think it's better for you not to know, so as not to be irritated."

What she said made Xu Lin even more interested: "From what you say, it must be a lot of money. Is it more like hundreds of thousands or one million?"

In her mind, this was already a huge amount of money, and this much money could buy a large piece of land in Inner Mongolia.

"Add a zero at the end."

Xu Lin felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "How much? Add a zero, what do you mean, don't tell me, how many millions more is it?"

By the end, her voice was trembling.

"uh-huh."

After receiving Wang Ying's answer, Xu Lin slid directly from the wooden chair to the ground.

Xie Qiao was also surprised and said: "No way, Wang Ying, how many millions is it really worth?"

"Nine million six hundred thousand."

"Nine, nine, nine.6 million?"

Frightened, Xie Qiao and the others were really frightened. None of them could afford 960 yuan, but what they heard now was a deal worth 9.6 million yuan.

Wang Ying said: "I've told you what you don't want to know. If you don't listen, I've already said it anyway. I don't care if it's more. This is the second courtyard house he bought. He also bought one last year for 10 million. "

Xu Lin, who had just gotten up, sat down on the ground again. Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless. Suddenly, she gave herself a slap in the face.

"I'm a bitch, why do you ask this question?"

Xie Qiao was very curious: "No, Zhou Chen's money was blown by the strong wind? It cost 20 million to buy two courtyard houses. Is the money so worthless now?"

Wang Ying explained: "In Zhou Chen's words, it's not that money is worthless now. He said that housing prices will rise sharply in the future, especially in first-tier cities, so whether it is for rich people or ordinary people, investing in real estate is a A very good choice; I don’t quite understand the professional words he said, but I can sum it up in one sentence: Buying a house now means making money, and the earlier you buy, the more you make.”

"Is that right?"

Xie Qiao looked thoughtful. When she returned home on New Year's Day, her family had talked about the house. Her parents were interested in buying a house. Could it be that what Zhou Chen said was true?

Xiao Qianxi asked: "Wang Ying, what Zhou Chen means is that housing prices in the capital will become more and more expensive in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to buy a house?"

"Absolutely. Anyway, I think what he said makes sense." Wang Ying had no doubts about Zhou Chen.

Xiao Qianxi thought about He Xiaozhou's recent statement that his mother's condition was getting worse and their family was preparing to sell their house to treat his mother's illness.

According to what Zhou Chen and Wang Ying said, house prices will become more and more expensive in the future, so wouldn’t it be a huge loss to sell a house now?

If you sell it now, wouldn’t it be more difficult to buy it later?

Except for Xu Lin, who was still counting tens and hundreds of millions, Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi no longer struggled with how much Zhou Chen spent to buy the courtyard house.

Wang Ying didn't know that just a few words of hers would make her two roommates' thoughts wander.

"Xu Lin, is there still hot water?"

"There is hot water. I guessed that you might come back late, so I made a pot for you."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank you. If you have a chance during the exam tomorrow, just let me copy it."

"That's all you've got, right?"

"There's nothing I can do, it's all about living."

After the final exam, it was winter vacation. Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to return to San Francisco, but was planning to go back around 26 or 7.

At a private open-air golf course, Zhou Chen was playing golf with Uncle Wang Ying.

After just playing for a while, Uncle Wang Ying shook off his hands, patted his waist, and looked at Zhou Chen, who was still flexible, with a smile.

"I'm old. I won't be able to do it after playing for a while. It's better to be young. Zhou Chen, you can compete in professional competitions at your level."

After playing for a while, he realized that Zhou Chen was deliberately letting him.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "What did you say, uncle? You are in your prime, and we are still children in your eyes."

Uncle Wang Ying laughed and said: "Xiaoying is just a child in my eyes, but you are different. I heard that you acquired several companies last year and even established a laboratory in cooperation with Stanford University. You are really formidable."

"I just bought a few factories that were about to close down. It's not something that I can do well. It's not as big as what my uncle did."

"You are so humble. You deserve the praise. Look at young people like Xiaoying and others, they are still using their family's money. You are much more promising than them."

Although Uncle Wang Ying relied on his brother to win a lot of business, he was naturally capable of opening a company so big. Because of this, he could see that Zhou Chen was not simple. He had been in business for many years. If Without the care of his brothers, he would definitely not be able to compare to Zhou Chen.

"Your Chenxing Capital is very powerful. Have you ever thought about coming to China? The domestic situation is in a stage of rapid development. It will definitely be a great benefit to invest in China at this time."

Zhou Chen's face remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "To be honest with you, uncle, I have thought about developing in the country, but this is just an idea. After all, my family's industries are all abroad now. I need to establish a foothold abroad first. I will be more confident to develop in China, and I think there is less pressure to make money from foreigners, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Uncle Wang Ying laughed loudly: "I admire young people like you who have ability, courage, courage, and plans. That's great. I'm very optimistic about you."

"Uncle, you are so complimentary. I am so ashamed of myself."

After handing the club to the staff, the two of them walked to the rest area.

From a distance, they saw Wang Ying waving to them, and Zhou Chen also waved with a smile.

"It's a good thing that you young people have your own ideas, but Yingying was the one I watched growing up. She is a good child. I hope you two will always be fine."

Zhou Chen heard what he meant and immediately said: "Uncle, don't worry, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have already recognized each other. I will definitely not let her down."

"With your words, Yingying's parents and I feel relieved. We will have dinner together in the evening. There is a time-honored private restaurant with very good food. I also have a bottle of good wine. Let's have two drinks together in the evening."

"Listen to uncle's arrangements."

Although Zhou Chen didn't want to have too much contact with the Wang family, it was only for business and money. He would not reject ordinary exchanges and visits.

He remembered that an accident happened to the Wang family a few years later, which seemed to be due to the collapse of a bridge, but he felt that this was not the root cause. It was likely that the Wang family had been investigated long ago. This incident was probably the last straw that broke the camel's back.

So even though he wanted to remind him, he really didn't know where to start. He had communicated with Uncle Wang Ying twice. Based on his experience, this uncle was not an easy person to talk to.

The reason why I treat him well is, on the one hand, Wang Ying, and on the other hand, his own strength.

Although the Wang family is powerful, in terms of assets now, they may not necessarily have much more than him. After all, it is only 03, and the wealth of the richest man in the country is only less than billion.

As for cash flow, let alone that. The nine-digit figures in his card and the company's accounts are not fake.

Chapter 1254 Joy and Sorrow during the Spring Festival

In the back seat of the Audi car running on the road, Zhou Chen drunkenly leaned on Wang Ying's lap, while Wang Ying gently touched Zhou Chen's cheek with a worried look on her face.

At the dinner with her uncle just now, her uncle was very enthusiastic and pulled Zhou Chen to persuade her to drink. The two of them drank three bottles of liquor in a daze, so that when they left, they had to be supported to get into the car. .

After returning to the community, Zhou Chen got out of the car with the help of Wang Ying, but the moment he walked into the unit building, he suddenly stood up straight and exhaled.

Wang Ying's eyes widened when she saw this scene.

"No, you're not drunk. Then you were just pretending?"

"If I didn't pretend to be drunk, wouldn't your uncle be very embarrassed?"

Wang Ying was really speechless, but she was also amazed by Zhou Chen's acting skills. She pretended all the way, but she didn't notice it at all and thought he was really drunk.

"If my uncle knew you were such a heavy drinker, he probably wouldn't dare compete with you in drinking next time."

When he just left, her uncle could be said to be extremely drunk, but now Zhou Chen, besides smelling of alcohol, was not even drunk at all. The difference was really big.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Your uncle is also an elder after all, so you have to save some face for him."

"You are really good at pretending. You even fooled me when you acted. But that's okay. When I was in the car, I was still thinking about how I was going to take care of you at night when you were so drunk. Since you were pretending, then You don’t have to worry about how I’m going to take care of you.”

But Zhou Chen took the opportunity to hang on her again: "Actually, I was just pretending just now. I feel dizzy now. You have to take good care of me."

Wang Ying helped Zhou Chen get into the elevator funny.

"Just pretend as hard as you can."

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying went to the street to buy couplets with the character "Fu". The Spring Festival was approaching, and because Zhou Chen was going back to San Francisco, he planned to post couplets on his home in advance.

As the Spring Festival is getting closer, the festive atmosphere everywhere is getting stronger and stronger. There are stalls set up on the streets in several places, buying Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters, etc. The red color makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

The Spring Festival is a festival of great significance to the Chinese people. During the Spring Festival, no matter who you are, even a beggar, you can eat better food today.

Zhou Chen took Wang Ying and picked and picked along the way, buying several pairs of couplets, the characters "Fu", window grilles, etc.

Wang Ying was also happy to go shopping with Zhou Chen. She didn't have to worry about these things at home before, and she had never bought them before. So today she went out to buy these things with Zhou Chen, and she was very interested. , looking and touching, very pleasant.

"This sheep is so cute. Buy this, buy this."

Seeing a cute lamb pattern, Wang Yingfei pulled Zhou Chen to buy it, and Zhou Chen naturally did as she wished.

On the way back, Wang Ying asked: "Only the two apartments here are covered, but the two courtyard houses you bought are not covered?"

"Forget it over there. If you really want to post it, you won't be able to finish it all day long, so just post these two sets at home."

"Listen to you."

After returning home, Wang Yingxing hurriedly insisted on applying it herself. As a result, she was busy all afternoon. After finishing the application, she shook her arms, kicked her legs and twisted her neck.

She was exhausted, but she was still very proud and happy when she saw her masterpiece.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which was also the day Zhou Chen was leaving. Wang Ying sent him to the airport, and after being gentle for a long time, she had to let Zhou Chen leave.

Zhou Chen also asked Wang Ying if she wanted to spend the New Year with him, but Wang Ying thought for a long time and still refused. He was not surprised by this decision. After all, Wang Ying rarely got together with her parents during the New Year, so she naturally wanted to spend the New Year with him. The family stays together instead of traveling to a foreign country.

During the Spring Festival, every household gathers together for a reunion dinner, and Chinatown in San Francisco, where Zhou Chen lives, is also very lively.

Zhou Chen had nothing to do, so he wandered alone on the street. When many neighbors saw Zhou Chen, they greeted him politely. Many of them even meant to please, especially many merchants, who treated Zhou Chen Even more polite.

In terms of the most famous and prestigious Chinese in Chinatown, Zhou Guoxing and Zhou Chen are definitely the second.

Zhou Guoxing earned his reputation through decades of hard work and hard work, while Zhou Chen relied on his reputation as a genius and a lot of money.

Especially in the past two or three years, Zhou Chen has made a lot of investments in Chinatown, and the factories he acquired have also recruited many local Chinese. Many people rely on Zhou Chen for a living, which undoubtedly directly enhances Zhou Chen's reputation.

Gangs make people fearful, but they are difficult to respect. But what Zhou Chen does is easy to win people's hearts. After all, Zhou Chen himself is Chinese. Taking care of his fellow villagers is better than working under those foreigners. It's much better, and the salary is not low.

When more and more families rely on Zhou Chen to make a living, it is difficult for his reputation and status to rise.

Zhou Chen did this naturally to take care of his compatriots, but also for himself. In foreign countries, especially in a capitalist society like the United States, where the jungle prevails, if you want to become bigger and stronger in the United States, money is essential, but you must also have enough power and power. Manpower, domestic compatriots are obviously more trustworthy than people of other skin colors.

Along the way, Zhou Chen felt like he was going shopping like the second generation ancestor in ancient times. Although he didn't spend a penny, his hands were stuffed with a lot of things, including food, drink and fun.

The difference is that these things he had were all given to him voluntarily by others.

In China, during the Spring Festival, Wang Ying came to Yang Cheng's house to wish Yang Cheng's parents a happy New Year as in previous years. However, she did not see Yang Cheng's father, only Yang Cheng's mother.

Yang Cheng's mother invited Wang Ying to drink tea as before, and even poured tea for Wang Ying herself.

"Come on, Yingying, this is your special cup. Auntie will remember it. Drink it."

Wang Ying took the cup with both hands: "Thank you, Auntie."

Yang Cheng's mother said with a smile: "By the way, I heard from Beibei earlier that you have been dating a boyfriend for almost a year?"

Wang Ying replied truthfully: "Yes, it's been almost a year."

"You are sensible and steady, unlike Beibei, who always knows how to mess around every day. You have had many girlfriends, but none of them last long."

Wang Ying smiled and did not tell anything about Yang Cheng's relationship with Xie Qiao. This time she came to Yang Cheng's house, her mentality was completely different from previous years. Even when facing Yang Cheng's mother, she was able to be calm and calm.

Yang Cheng's mother also felt Wang Ying's change and took a gentle sip of tea.

"I also heard that your parents know that you are in a relationship and have met the child? It seems that your parents don't object."

"My mother has seen it, but my father has never seen it, but they really didn't care about me and respected my wishes."

"If I had a daughter as sensible and obedient as you, I would definitely believe in you just like your parents. Unlike our Beibei, who is not sensible or mature at all."

Hearing Yang Cheng's mother's complaint, Wang Ying smiled and said, "I think Yang Cheng is much better than before."

"What's so good? It's Chinese New Year, and people have gone somewhere to have fun. No one is around all day long. I heard Beibei say, is your boyfriend a Chinese-American?"
