Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

"Hongjun, I understand what you are saying, but you have bought so many houses in Beijing, two houses are enough for each of your four children.

Why do you have to go to Shanghai to buy a house?" Qian Shengli asked curiously.

“I have too many houses and I can sell them if I don’t live in them anymore.

The reason you bought a house in Shanghai is that you know which city your children would like to develop in the future?

Anyway, houses are cheap now, so let’s prepare a few more houses in advance.

This is called being prepared for any eventuality." Liu Hongjun explained with a smile.

Liu Hongjun naturally would not tell them how outrageous the housing prices in Shanghai, one of the four major cities in the future, would be.

Now in the most prosperous areas of Shanghai, the square unit price of a house is no more than a thousand yuan, but in later times, the starting price will be one hundred thousand.

A hundredfold increase.

This is the safest, yet most risky investment.

Whether it is in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, you can buy with your eyes closed.

Twenty years later, the return rate will be a hundred times.

"But we are unfamiliar with Shanghai and don't know where to buy houses!

You can't just go around asking around, right?" Qian Shengli asked again.

"Who said we don't have any acquaintances in Shanghai?" Liu Hongjun asked with a smile.

"You mean?" Qian Shengli frowned and thought for a while before asking uncertainly, "Are you talking about Duan Ping'an?"

After that, he directly denied it: "It's true that Duan Ping'an is from Shanghai, but I don't think he can help much. His family is just an ordinary working-class family."

“Not him, I’m talking about Wang Yuejin’s classmate, Che Zhenxin’s childhood friend Liu Yuanchao.

Now Liu Yuanchao's father has been transferred to Shanghai and works in the government.

We can ask Liu Yuanchao for help. Even if he is not familiar with the Shanghai market, he can find someone familiar with it. "Liu Hongjun explained with a smile.

"You've gone around in circles quite far." Qian Shengli laughed.

I really admire Liu Hongjun's communication skills.

Even though Liu Hongjun has always stayed in the village, he has friends all over the world.

After the discussion, Liu Hongjun found the post office, called Che Zhenxin first, and asked for Liu Yuanchao's phone number.

Liu Yuanchao is different from Che Zhenxin. Liu Yuanchao does not work in an organization. Now his parents have been transferred to Shanghai, so there may not be anyone at home in the old city.

Therefore, Liu Hongjun could only contact Liu Yuanchao through Che Zhenxin.

Che Zhenxin was very happy that Liu Hongjun called him.

Upon learning that Liu Hongjun was planning to ask Liu Yuanchao for help in buying a house in Shanghai, Che Zhenxin readily gave Liu Yuanchao's phone number.

At this time, Liu Yuanchao was also in Shanghai.

After getting the call, Liu Hongjun chatted with Che Zhenxin for a few more words before hanging up.

Che Zhenxin and his team had a good cooperation with Jian Hongjie this year and made a lot of money.

Moreover, they also got in touch with the Russians through their family connections.

Back then, when the Russians and China had not yet severed diplomatic ties, they sent a large number of experts and scholars to support China, and many soldiers also had personal relationships with China.

Later, the Russians broke off diplomatic relations with China, but this did not mean that the personal relationship would be severed.

It’s just that the connection was cut off due to the severance of diplomatic relations between countries.

Now, with the country's reform and opening up, relations with the Russians have eased somewhat.

Many famous international traders have fathers who had good personal relationships with the Russians, and they established contact after the 1980s.

Then, these international traders took advantage of this relationship to make considerable profits from the Russians.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Hongjun called again and contacted Liu Yuanchao.

Liu Yuanchao was very happy to hear that Liu Hongjun was in Shanghai. He laughed loudly on the phone and said, "No matter where you are, if you come to Shanghai, you will be in my territory.

We must entertain you well and let you feel the hospitality of the men in this city."

“Haha, we are here on the Bund, sitting in the Peace Hotel.

Come on, let me feel the enthusiasm of the men in Beijing." Liu Hongjun also smiled.

"Okay, then you wait for me at the Peace Hotel. I'll take care of some things here. I'll treat you to lunch at the Peace Hotel at noon." Liu Yuanchao said enthusiastically.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Hongjun and his group leisurely walked into the Bund and strolled along the long street full of exotic atmosphere.

They walked slowly along the river with brisk steps, enjoying this rare leisure and tranquility.

The river breeze blows on your face, bringing a sense of coolness and comfort, as if it could blow away all worries and troubles.

Liu Hongjun and his group chatted as they walked, occasionally stopping to admire the ancient buildings.

The buildings on the Bund are like a living history book, with every brick and tile engraved with the changes and vicissitudes of modern China.

The Gothic spires point to the sky, revealing a solemnity that transcends the world; the Romanesque colonnades appear heavy and solemn, making people involuntarily think of the glory of ancient Rome; the complexity and magnificence of the Baroque style fully demonstrates the essence of European art.

The eclectic and Art Deco buildings are like reconcilers of the times, skillfully blending tradition and modernity to create a unique charm.

These buildings have gone through the baptism of time and although they are old now, they still attract countless people with their unique charm.

They are not only the iconic landscape of the city, but also important witnesses of China's modern history.

However, whenever people immerse themselves in the beauty and magnificence of these buildings, they can't help but think of that humiliating history.

These exotic buildings were once the marks of invasion by foreign powers and an indelible pain in the hearts of the Chinese nation.

But just as the wheel of history rolls forward unstoppably, these buildings will eventually be given new meaning and value as time goes by.

While strolling along the Bund, Liu Hongjun and his companions not only appreciated the elegance of these buildings, but also planted a seed of history, culture and the future in their hearts.

Liu Hongjun and his group strolled around until around eleven o'clock and then returned to the Peace Hotel early.

Not long after returning to the room, the doorbell rang.

Liu Hongjun opened the door and it was Liu Yuanchao who knocked on the door.

"Haha, Hongjun, welcome to Shanghai!" Liu Yuanchao extended his hands enthusiastically and shook hands with Liu Hongjun.

"Brother Liu, I haven't congratulated Uncle Liu on his new position yet." Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

"Well, actually my dad came to Shanghai to avoid the disputes in the old city.

Let’s not talk about this.

I heard from Lao Che that you are planning to buy a house in Shanghai?" Liu Yuanchao sighed, then changed the subject and asked with a smile.

“Yes, after arriving in Shanghai, I felt that this city was nice, so I thought about buying a few houses here.

Anyway, we don’t do any business, so it’s better to buy a few more houses than to keep the money to earn interest.” Liu Hongjun said with a smile.
