Back To 2005

"How's your luck?"

Instead of going to join in the excitement at Zhou Xiaoke's side, Zhou Anan came to his cousin, looked at the small stack of banknotes in front of him, and asked a question.

It's big for Chinese New Year, teenagers play cards, and it's harmless to play mahjong for five yuan and ten yuan.

"so so."

Seeing his cousin coming over, Zhou Shun replied casually, and turned his attention back to the poker game.

Seeing this cousin playing cards so hard, Zhou An'an shook his head secretly, without disturbing the other party's elegance.

Although he is the son of his uncle, Zhou An'an, who devoted himself to studying before the age of 18, is not that familiar with this cousin who dropped out of junior high school at home, and they don't have much in common.

"An'an, why don't you sit down and play for you."

"No, no, I'll take a look."

After browsing the poker games of several other cousins, and borrowing 200 yuan in cash from cousin Cheng Jie, Zhou Anan, who was out of place, said hello to several elementary school classmates, and walked out.

If he had been himself in his previous life, Zhou An'an would probably join in and play a few games.

But the soul in his thirties made it impossible for Zhou Anan to play with these young people in their twenties.

Cough cough, it's mainly a game of five yuan and ten yuan, I don't like it.

After doing the math, Zhou An'an has earned more than 2.4 million yuan in the past six months, and his monthly income is 400,000 yuan.

As for the hundreds of games played by the village head and the others, Zhou An'an, a junior, would not join in.

Gambling this kind of thing requires restraint. It's okay to play with family members. The winners and losers are all family members. Zhou An'an doesn't have that kind of thought about playing with outsiders.

These are all things that he only understood after suffering many setbacks in his previous life.

But there are some things that no one will remember for a long time without experiencing pain, nor will they know how to restrain themselves.

"I want to make Cousin Chengjie busy."

Glancing at cousin Cheng Jie who borrowed money to continue fighting, Zhou Anan couldn't help shaking his head.

After walking around the village, seeing that his grandparents were already asleep, Zhou Anan naturally wouldn't bother him, and obediently went home to sleep before one o'clock.

On the first day of the new year, after going to the mountains to worship the ancestors, it was another leisurely day.

Apart from wandering around the village, the empty urban area is not attractive at all. Zhou An'an, who is like a salted fish, just lay on the bed, talked on the phone with his crush, and teased with the little loli, and he was busy.

The New Year's greetings began on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and lasted until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou An'an, who followed his parents after visiting relatives, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is also thanks to my dad who bought a van a year ago that the New Year's greetings are so fast this year.

If it were the previous years, I would have to be busy at least until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and live in relatives' homes, but this year, I went there on the same day and returned on the same day.

However, after driving mid-range cars such as Mondeo and Audi, Zhou An'an was quite dissatisfied with vans.

It's a pity that now he has to prevent his father from controlling his economic power, and most of the funds have been invested in Hong Kong stocks. In addition, the prices of all kinds of cars are extremely high now, so Zhou Anan quickly gave up and changed his father's car thoughts.

The most lively event was undoubtedly the sixth day of the new year, when an uncle in the village married his daughter, and the relationship with Zhou An'an's family was relatively close.

The uncle's daughter found the son of a business owner who was one of the top 50 taxpayers in Lizhou. At that scene, the bride price alone included a Land Rover and 2.88 million in cash, which caused countless villagers to exclaim.

According to someone, if the uncle's daughter gave birth to a son, there would be a bonus of tens of millions.

Anyway, Zhou An'an, who was sitting there eating fruit, heard what the villagers in the same village had to say.

"The welcoming team is here."

I don't know who yelled, and everyone rushed out of the room.

Ten miles long makeup is a bit exaggerated, but there are still vehicles for welcoming relatives and relatives' vehicles spread out for two or three miles, which is really spectacular at first glance.

On that uncle's face, both eyes were smiling.

At this time, it was the most glorious moment of that uncle's life.

But Zhou An'an knew that after a few years, that company would be in a debt crisis, and the life of the cousin after the fake divorce was not very satisfactory.

Ups and downs are a common occurrence for local enterprises in Lizhou. Zhou Anan still feels that it is more appropriate to be a stable charterer in the future.

Be a man, keep a low profile.

Taking time out, Zhou Anan went to visit the two bridesmaids, and was a little disappointed when she found that her figure and appearance were average.

According to the local customs in Lizhou, when welcoming a bride, lunch is to be eaten at the bride's home.

Dozens of round tables filled the open space in front of the house, and most of the villagers from the same village came. Zhou An'an's father and uncle, who are relatively close, took advantage of a table in the room.

It was lively and lively, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon, when the welcoming motorcade returned, that uncle's house became a little quieter.

Zhou Anan, who took advantage of a few ten yuan red envelopes, went home contentedly with a stomach full of fruits to catch up on sleep.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shangfangyan.

As long as he can remember, Zhou Anan remembers that he would be taken by his parents to pay homage to Mr. Hu every New Year, until he was in his thirties, without interruption.

This year, Zhou An'an changed to buns, but Zhou An'an was able to sleep comfortably in the back seat.

A ticket costs 20 yuan, and there is no discount for locals in Lizhou.

After entering the door, Zhou An'an looked at the steep mountain road, full of energy after a full sleep.

"So, are they all related households?"

Leaving his parents half way away, Zhou An'an, who was standing on the top of the mountain blowing the wind, couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhou Xiaoke's call.

Many schools' bidding started today, and Zhou An'an troubled Zhou Xiaoke to bid, but something went wrong.

There were three middle schools in a row, and there were people who won the bid.

But Zhou Xiaoke inquired, and the winning bidder's bid was not as high as his, or even much lower.

After all, he was originally helping Zhou An'an, and he was not going to make money from the school's small shop, so the bidding price was high enough.

Obviously, the business of this small shop has become someone's pocket.

"Do you want me to go for a walk?"

Zhou Xiaoke felt a little embarrassed that such a small matter could not be handled well, so he offered a suggestion.

"No, I'll go with you to see the bidding for No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools tomorrow."

Rejecting Zhou Xiaoke's suggestion, Zhou An'an said something.

As Zhou Xiaoke, it is difficult to get in touch with the decision-makers of those schools, and it is easy to get stuck.

It's no wonder that two years later, the sensational change of primary and secondary schools in the city will appear. Nowadays, the principals of primary and secondary schools have great power, and it is normal to use power for personal gain.

Just like this "open" bidding, the various bidders have no chance to meet at all, they just quote a price to the school office, and then wait for the school to inform whether they have won the bid.

Absolutely non-public and opaque.

However, Zhou Anan, who has nothing to do with this kind of thing, can do nothing.

We can only hope that the key middle schools like the No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School that the whole city pays attention to will be better, but Zhou An'an has no idea.

As long as he is given a chance to openly bid, Zhou An'an feels that there is no reason for him to lose out in the bidding model of local tyrants who aim to make no money.

Originally, I thought about investing in a small middle school store for my aunt and husband, and I would spend less money. It seems that in this situation, I can only spend more money.

No amount of money can compare to family love.

As long as it can change the trajectory of the eldest uncle's life, Zhou Anan decides to spend more money, and he doesn't feel bad at all.

"An'an, come to burn incense."

"coming."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan quickly walked over.

"What time does it start?"

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Anan took a car to the urban area, got into the van waiting next to the station, and asked the driver in front of him.

"The bidding for No. 2 Middle School starts at 9:30. I have inquired about it. Except for No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools, none of them are open bidding this year."

Zhou Xiaoke, who was sitting in the driver's seat, started the car and replied casually.

"should be no problem."

Hearing that it was an open bidding, Zhou Anan nodded.

The bus stop was only five minutes away from No. 2 Middle School. Zhou An'an and Zhou Xiaoke chatted for a while, and then they arrived at the gate of No. 2 Middle School.

The newly-built high school campus of No. 2 Middle School has not yet been completed. Now No. 2 Middle School includes junior high school and high school, with nearly 3,000 students.

Such a large student resource also represents the booming business of small shops on campus, and there are not a few social practitioners participating in the bidding.

Based on the annual profit of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, Zhou Anan felt that a budget of 300,000 yuan needed to be prepared.

Fortunately, last month's end-of-year dividends arrived in the account. Currently, the funds in the account are still sufficient, but there is not much left.

"so many people."

As Zhou Xiaoke walked into the conference room, Zhou Anan couldn't help frowning.

At a glance, at least half of the conference room that can accommodate more than 300 people is occupied.

Thinking about it again, Zhou An'an also felt normal.

What business is best to do, monopoly business;

Who's money is best earned, student money.

No. 2 Middle School is the public middle school with the largest number of students in Lizhou City, not one of them.

Among them, the profits of small shops on campus can be seen by anyone with discernment.

An investment of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan may not be small, but there are a lot of people in Lizhou who have this money.

Rich people make money faster, which is still very applicable in this year.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

A middle-aged woman who looked like a leader stepped up to the stage and started the first step of bidding.

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Fifty-five thousand."

"Sixteen thousand."

...

"Twenty-two thousand."

From the starting price of 100,000, the bidding price soared to 220,000, and it only took ten minutes.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand."

Looking at the time displayed on the phone, Zhou Anan frowned, and said to Zhou Xiaoke beside him.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand."

Hearing the instruction from his elementary school classmates, Zhou Xiaoke raised the bidding card in his hand without hesitation.

The bidding price was suddenly raised by 30,000 yuan, which attracted the attention of all the people participating in the auction.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and those who were interested in bidding were thinking about the price they could afford.

"This gentleman bid 250,000 yuan. Is there any higher price? Our Lizhou No. 2 Middle School has more than 3,500 teachers and students..."

As the host, Director Li looked at the person who made the quotation, and then began to introduce the advantages of Lizhou No. 2 Middle School again, and continued to drive up the quotation.

"255000."

Finally, in the middle of the director Li's speech, someone made another offer.
