I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 915 911. High turnover

Because they are going to northern Shaanxi to celebrate the New Year this year, Lao Yang and his wife have directly entered the process of visiting relatives since childhood.

In fact, Lao Yang's family is originally from Anhui and does not have many relatives in Yanjing.

As for why we went to northern Shaanxi...the reason is actually very simple. The two children will go to Germany to attend a film festival after their first year of junior high school. Without Nuan Nuan and Yang Yang, Yang Mi is afraid that she won't be able to take care of them just with her grandma and grandpa. What's more... the children actually like being in northern Shaanxi.

There are few people and cars there, so you can run all over the mountains and plains.

You can also feel the thickness of the Loess Plateau.

Always good.

After Bei Xiaonian's close friends gathering, the couple was completely free.

Xu Xin finished the relationship that she was supposed to visit... It was okay. Except for eating and drinking too much with Zhang Wu, the other meals were quite casual.

On February 7th, the 27th day of the New Year, the Berlin Film Festival officially opened.

As the opening film, all the crew of "The Grandmaster" are online, except for Yang Mi.

She was also on the plane, but she was going to Shenmu.

At around 4 p.m., which is 9 a.m. Berlin time, the family finally returned to Xujiawan.

Yang Mi sat in the car and kept looking out.

Xu Xin didn't even ask, so he knew that she must be thinking about her title of Xujiawan Chicken, Duck and Goose Protection Association.

"Er, mommy will take you to see how majestic your mom is in our village later!"

Hearing this, Yangyang, who probably didn't know what "weifeng" meant yet, nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

Nuannuan, who likes to join in the fun, quickly raised her hand:

"Mom, I want it too!"

"You don't want it! You little strongman!"

"Wow..."

These words directly hit Nuan Nuan's sore spot.

Just now, the mother and daughter had another argument on the plane...

Xu Xin dug his ears with his little finger.

Ouch, this is really annoying.

I can't stop for a while...

Soon, the car arrived home.

Xu Daqiang, who had been waiting at the door early, grabbed the big brother's hand when Yang Dalin got off the car.

But Xu Xin discovered that there were several people in chef uniforms at home processing ingredients in the yard.

have to.

I must have hired a chef to entertain you today.

He came to Xu Miao's side, handed over a cigarette, and asked:

"Where's Dabao?"

"Your sister-in-law took her for a walk."

"Wow..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the cry of a child outside the wall.

Then a familiar voice yelled:

"Go! Hit you!"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"Sister-in-law?... Come on, is Xu Dabao crying?"

Xu Miao rushed out immediately.

He also walked over quickly, and then saw Zhang Qian protecting Xu Dabao, who was crying, and driving away a big goose in the alley between his home and the third uncle's home next door.

There was a black patch on the goose's wings.

It was now open, eager to get closer to the crying Xu Dabao.

Xu Xin understood it at a glance.

This big goose is definitely going to spoil the child...

Hey!

It's against you!

Where did Leng Tou Qing come from?

He walked over quickly:

"roll roll roll!"

After driving the big goose away, Xu Miao asked:

"Are you okay?"

"No, who owns this goose? It scared me..."

Zhang Qian complained speechlessly.

Then start coaxing the kids.

At this time, Yang Mi also came over:

"Sister-in-law...what happened?"

"Hey, Mimi, you're here... It's okay. This goose is trying to bite Dabao. It suddenly jumped out and Dabao was startled... Okay, okay, baby, don't cry anymore. Look, little baby Auntie is here~"

Zhang Qian quickly coaxed the baby, who was already able to walk.

But Yang Mi's eyes narrowed.

Almost like Xu Xin, she took a glance at her husband after writing down all the characteristics of the big goose.

I found that my husband was also looking at me.

At this time, Xu Daqiang's voice sounded:

"Three gold, three water? Human?"

"Hey, dad, here we come."

Xu Xin responded:

"Let's go, Xu Dabao, come here, give me a hug...Oh, this Shen~ My brothers and sisters are here. Can you three play together?"

As he spoke, he carried Xu Dabao and walked home.

After taking two or three steps, he turned back.

He put his five fingers together into a palm and stroked his neck twice.

It’s a special set!

After finishing the action, he left calmly.

Shuanghua Hongguan immediately understood what the leading brother meant.

Nod slightly.

After the three people left, he raised his arms and walked towards the goose strolling around.

When the Xujiawan God of War returns, he must kill something to sacrifice the flag.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to control these newly grown youngsters.

…

"You two, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. You can't smoke at home when your children are here, you know? No one can come."

In the luxurious living room of the Xu family, Xu Daqiang first announced the family rules.

At this moment, his left leg was warm, his right leg was big, and there was a Yangyang on his back that was clamoring for his grandfather to carry him to pull out radishes.

He enjoyed the blessings of children and grandchildren while talking happily.

I couldn't be happier.

Xu Xin nodded:

"I know. I don't smoke at home."

"I'll smoke you if you dare to smoke!"

The old man stared.

Xu Xin quickly nodded again.

Um.

It tastes right.

I smoke and my dad smokes me. Maybe he is also worried.

"Ding dong."

Suddenly, a message came from his mobile phone.

When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was from Zhong Changyou, the previous team leader in Venice.

It's two short videos.

He clicked on the first one and found that the shooting location was in a theater, and the title of "The Grandmaster" happened to be on the big screen.

When the name "Director: Wang Jiawei" appeared, applause and whistles sounded in the background.

Then the camera rotated, and although it was very dark, you could vaguely see that the whole place was packed with people, and you couldn't see any empty space at all.

Zhong Changyou:

"Director Xu, the movie screening has started. The whole place is full! The organizer made an exception and added an extra show because there were so many people who wanted to see it. Haha~"

Xu Xin replied:

"Okay, what about "Heart of the Burning Sun"? When will it be played?"

"Prime time tonight at 8 o'clock! Haha, Director Xu, we haven't won this position in many years. I'm really looking forward to everyone's reaction."

Seeing this, Xu Xin showed a smile.

Then he handed the phone to the old man:

"Dad, look, Yang Mi's movie is the opening film of the Berlin Film Festival today, and the seats are full."

Xu Daqiang took it over.

After reading it, he asked:

"There are quite a lot of people... When are you leaving?"

"I'll leave on the first day of the new year. I hope I can come back on the ninth day of the new year."

"Oh, great. Win more prizes and fill up all these cabinets in our house."

After returning the phone to his son, he pointed at the row of glass display cabinets in the corner and said.

Xu Xin glanced at it and twitched the corners of his mouth.

In fact... don't mention it, there are quite a few trophies in the showcases on this wall.

About twenty or thirty seats.

Xu Xin is actually not a person who likes to participate in these occasions, especially in the past two years. If you can't go, try not to go. Even though it was clearly stated that an award would be given out, he was too lazy to go.

Either my wife does it for me, or someone from the crew picks it up.

This cabinet award is actually the two awards he values ​​most. One is the best director in Venice, and the other is the Golden Camera in Cannes.

One of these two awards is a recognition of his fledgling career.

The other is the highest honor in the film palace.

He doesn't even care much about the trophy from the Silk Road Film Festival.

Showing prestige to one's own people does not count as ability.

Exporting the culture of the Chinese dynasty, allowing everyone to understand their own country through these movies and culture, and gaining recognition is what matters most to him, and it is also something he needs to do throughout his life.

But Dad obviously doesn’t see it that way.

Whether it's "The Secret" or "The Wind", or even awards such as "Most Popular Male Director" and "Most Popular Actress", he will re-enact them.

Sun Ting is personally responsible for this task.

As long as Sister Xu Gemi wins the award, she will have to make a copy of the trophy and send it to Shenmu.

Put it in this showcase.

There's no other reason for it, it's golden and looks good.

Therefore, at first Xu Xin estimated that he would never be able to fill up the wall of honor in his lifetime. In just a few years, it was almost full.

Don't tell me, it's pretty good-looking.

When you walk in, you can see a wall of golden light.

According to Xu Daqiang:

"Everyone from a scholarly family does this."

Fine.

I don’t know what it has to do with the scholarly family background.

After chatting about the movie for a while, suddenly, there was a sound of "叏儿叏儿叏儿" outside.

Xu Daqiang turned his head subconsciously and was suddenly startled...

"Ah! There are so many dishes today, why do we get a goose?... Come on, come on, come on, Sanjin, go pick it up for Mimi."

Xu Xin also saw it. His daughter-in-law was holding the big white goose with black patches on its wings with one hand and said with a smile:

"Dad, this goose gave Dabao a fright just now. He was crying because of this... Let's go, Xu Dabao, let's see your aunt avenge you!"

Xu Daqiang was stunned.

Then nodded:

"Well, it should be killed."

He stood up with the baby in his arms and walked out together.

As soon as Xu Xin went out, he heard Yang Mi say:

"Quick, brother, give me the knife. Then put the trash can outside the door for me... We don't want to eat goose blood, right?"

"Don't eat it, it smells fishy."

Xu Xin first gave her the paint bucket used to hold fallen leaves, sawdust and other garbage at the door, then turned back to the house and walked into the kitchen.

"Director Xu."

"Hello, Director Xu."

"Hey, everyone, thank you for your hard work."

While greeting these chefs, Xu Xin asked the chef standing in front of the case:

"Master, give me a knife."

Master Qie Dun was stunned:

"What does Director Xu want to use it for?"

"Kill the goose. Add another dish tonight."

"...????"

A group of chefs were stunned.

The menu for tonight has been decided, with a total of 22 dishes. Eight meats, eight fresh dishes, and six stir-fried dishes... Suddenly a dish was added, making it no longer an odd number?

But the master certainly can't refuse the master's offer.

but……

"I'll kill him."

He carried the knife and walked out with Xu Xin, and the chef next to him also followed.

There is one more dish, and it definitely doesn’t look good if it’s an odd number. I have to add another dish.

After they walked out, they saw the big star Yang Mi herself holding the wings of a goose and talking:

"This goose is quite fat, and he wants to bite me when he sees me. I'm not telling you, Brother Sanshui, these young people can't do anything. The old dog at my sister-in-law's house started to tuck its tail when it recognized me. It was stunned My head was green and I rushed over. This is so powerful for you...who are you with?"

The two big dicks breathed directly into the goose's face.

Master Qie Dun's mouth twitched when he saw it...

Is this the glamorous star on TV?

ah?

……ah? ? ? ?

While Yang Mi was talking, she saw Xu Xin and the chef coming out and stretched out her hand:

"Give me the knife."

Upon hearing this, the chef subconsciously said:

"How about... let me do it?"

"Need not."

Yang Mi pinched the goose's wings with one hand, bent the goose's neck with the other hand, and put it on the back. The two hands holding the goose's wings freed up her index fingers and hooked them on the goose's head. It's locked. Then start plucking the small down one inch below the goose's beak.

"knife."

The chef also saw now that this was someone who had been killed...

This method of tying the goose and cutting the knife is very professional.

The chef quickly turned the knife over and handed it over by the handle.

Yang Mi took it, holding a knife in one hand and a goose in the other, and began to mutter, "Flat-haired beasts, you can't survive unless you kill them. Don't blame me for killing you, just blame you for being in front of me. I will eliminate disasters for you now, next time The life of an animal will no longer exist in this world. Die early and be reborn!" He walked out of the yard all the way.

Try not to kill geese at home.

not good.

After leaving the yard, several children wanted to follow and join in the fun.

As a result, Xu Miao grabbed him.

I'm afraid it will create some shadow.

The chef who followed him saw the star quickly slashing the goose's neck with a knife and twisting his hands...

The goose began to struggle quickly, but no matter how hard it struggled, blood kept dripping into the bucket.

He was even more speechless.

no……

Which celebrity kills goose so professionally?

This step is actually the most difficult. If you have little strength or do not know how to exert force, it is easy for the goose to squirt blood everywhere when it struggles...

But look at this one.

He is as steady as an old dog...

Sister, what are you doing?

At this time, the chef heard Xu Xin’s voice:

"Master, isn't my wife's technique professional?"

The chef glanced at him subconsciously...

My heart says, what are you showing off to?

"Director Xu...can also kill geese?"

"I won't."

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"I don't dare, I can't do it."

"..."

…

Anyway, during dinner, a large plate of soft goose braised in a pressure cooker was also served on the table.

The family dinner begins.

While eating, someone called Yang Mi.

After hearing Yang Mi respond a few times with "Hmm, okay, I'll be there in a moment, you guys wait for me.", she hung up the phone.

"Who?"

Xu Xin was a little curious.

"Xinxin and the others asked me to go to my house after dinner to teach them makeup and skin care."

"Ding dong."

Yang Mi's cell phone rang again.

She clicked a few times and said to WeChat:

"Sister-in-law, I can't go today. I have to go find Xinxin and the others later, why don't you play a few laps first. I'll go find you after I'm done. We're all resting anyway, so let's play a little longer."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"Who?"

"Sister-in-law Dayu, ask me to play cards."

"Ding ding dong dong dong..."

The video call is coming.

"Hey, sister, what's wrong?"

"Mimi, are you back? Have you eaten?"

"He's eating right now."

"Oh, eat less. I'll pick you up later and let's go to the county to drink!"

"Oh no, Xinxin and the others will be waiting for me at home soon. Didn't I teach them how to put on makeup last time I came back?"

"Huh?...Then you teach me first and go there later. I know you are here and all your friends in the county want to see you."

"I have an appointment with Sister-in-law Dayu to play mahjong later... tomorrow, can we go to the SPA tomorrow?"

"Ah...that's okay. How about going to Dongsheng? There's a Xiangjiang person opening a club over there."

"Okay. Then tomorrow."

"Hurrah."

Yang Mi was on the phone, and Xu Xin's mouth was twitching next to her.

He glanced at his phone subconsciously.

The screen was as black as a pile of coal.

No one paid any attention to him.

no……

Whose registered residence in the household registration book is Xujiawan?

But Xu Daqiang happily picked up the wine glass.

"What's the matter? If you want to play, just go. I'll take care of the baby for you."

Zhang Qian on the side was also full of envy:

"Mimi is so popular..."

"As you said, sister-in-law, you came back today too. And we are a family, so they must be looking for us too."

"Just coax me~"

"Hey hey hey..."

Amid Yang Mi's laughter, Xu Daqiang held the cup:

"Come on, brother, let's drink ours."

My daughter...

Even her branch has been established.

Sensible and smart.

While thinking about it, his eyes inevitably fell on Xu Xin, who was staring at his phone in a daze.

The original smile turned into disgust.

A useless thing!

…

The bright moon is in the sky.

Just like when he was a child, Xu Xin moved a horse and sat under the wall, looking up at the sky.

Ever since he was a child, he couldn't even remember how many times he had looked at the moon like this.

He didn't think it was anything before, but after going to Yanjing, he realized what a luxury the clean night sky, the bright stars and the soft and silvery moon were.

My wife has gone out.

I don’t know whose house I went to.

The baby was being taken care of by his grandfather, and he could hear the laughter inside through the window.

With nothing to do, he and Sanshui smoked in the yard.

The poses of the two brothers are exactly the same.

No one spoke.

Just watch quietly until I finish smoking a cigarette.

"Sanjin."

"Um?"

"Do you know how real estate is done nowadays?"

"What?"

"High turnover."

Xu Miao said a word that was relatively unfamiliar to Xu Xin.

Now, the moon is no longer visible.

After taking the cigarette that his brother handed over again, he asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

"Well... let me tell you this. The simplest principle is to get the land first, start the project, and don't worry about whether the funds are ready. After you get the land, just mortgage it to the bank, and then continue to get the land with the money in exchange... ...Just like this, the cycle, and then get the pre-sale certificate. Maybe the design drawing of the building has not been released. As soon as the renderings are released, the sales department is set up and people come to buy the house...Now the house does not have to worry about selling, just Start rolling like this... They are all playing like this now."

"..."

Xu Miao explained in a general way, but Xu Xin naturally understood that this was definitely not what he wanted to talk to him about.

But he still realized...

"Then if the capital chain suddenly breaks..."

Hearing this, Xu Miao shrugged:

"It usually can't be cut off."

"Then if it breaks..."

"It's over."

"..."

After thinking for a while, Xu Xin continued to ask:

"What? You want to do this too?"

"In no mood."

Xu Miao shook his head:

"This thing is just like borrowing a loan shark. If you borrow a loan shark at a high interest rate the first time and you can't pay it back, then you borrow the second loan and pay back the first one, and then you pay the second loan back the third time... Look at how Ge Dan's family is in trouble. Yes? Isn’t that all there is? But there are also advantages to this, the company will be valuable. You have a large scale and a high market value. Even if you want to fail, others can’t let you fail..."

At this time, Xu Xin heard something.

There was nothing the brothers couldn't say, so he asked directly:

"What? Someone wants to do this?"

"Um."

Xu Miao responded, holding a cigarette in his mouth and continuing to look up at the moon:

"Wanda, Evergrande, Greenland, and Country Garden have been doing this in the past few years. Our family failed to acquire several pieces of land this year, and we actually suffered losses in this area. We were slow to prepare funds, and we have never played with them. Some people are not happy. Well, I think it’s time to change the company’s steady-state model. They also said that they would enter high-end properties, build improved houses, and develop villas..."

"What did our dad say?"

"Our dad said this is just for fun, not for building a house."

"..."

After hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Does it mean that the pressure is now on you, the general manager?"

"That's right. The shareholders are forcing me to stop focusing on the people's livelihood market and start to develop rapidly, start to increase market value, and go public..."

"What's our profit in 2012?"

"Actually, it's not bad. The sales are close to 40 billion and the profit is more than 3 billion. Real estate is actually like this. If you don't start high turnover, the sales will not increase. You are like Greenland. Greenland has done eight projects in 11 years. More than 100 is less than 900, and this year they have more than 111 billion. The increase is close to 30. Nowadays, real estate companies are grabbing market share. I even heard that Evergrande is eyeing the secondary market. House prices across the country have It’s rising…”

"Brother, have you ever thought about how you spend so much money?"

Xu Xin interrupted him and asked a very core question.

Xu Miao was stunned.

He retracted his gaze from the moon and fell on his brother.

I saw Xu Xin pointing to the yard of his home:

"The land we own... is only about ten or two hundred thousand at most, right? This house seems to be built for less than fifty? Including decoration... it seems to be only about one hundred thousand? That's all."

Or the two brothers have a tacit understanding.

As soon as Xu Xin opened his mouth, Xu Miao understood what his brother meant.

"You think that's it, that's fine?"

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded:

"It's okay to say that I have no ambition, or that I don't care about money. But... I think there is really no difference between a person who has one billion and one who has ten billion. You yourself said that this kind of loan sharking model will sooner or later cause problems. ...If you tell Yang Mi this point of view, she will tell you: Brother, let’s do the same thing, and retreat in time when the time comes, just don’t be greedy.

But the question is how many people can control the greed in their hearts? How many people have this kind of retreat vision? Or apply the brakes when the train is moving at high speed?

So...my opinion is that it's almost ok. I always feel that our family’s future does not depend on how much money we make. But there is another way.

To put it bluntly, even if we no longer work in real estate, our family still has a lot of money, right?

Do you remember what our dad said? All the coal in the ground will be dug out one day. I think real estate is similar to this. What to do when all the houses are built? Let's just take it slowly and treat it as a steady stream. To put it bluntly, no matter what, it’s good to leave a good reputation. "

"..."

Hearing his brother's words, Xu Miao did not respond.

But his eyes became thoughtful.

After a while...

"Oh, yes, didn't you say that year that you were going to make something... environmentally friendly or something like that? A solar cell..."

"Um...is there any?"

Xu Xin was stunned and shook his head:

"I don't remember, what?"

"I attended an investment summit in Xiamen last year, and I met a guy. He just makes battery chips, and his talking skills are similar to yours. I called him a few days ago and said that he will start financing next year..."

"Making batteries?"

Xu Xin scratched his head:

"Nanfu?"

"It's not... called... called... your De? Or Ning De."

"Oh, let's do it then."

Xu Xin looked indifferent:

"I think what our father said is very true. Coal is mined in all walks of life, and it will all be mined one day. While the situation is great, try more in various fields, and don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Xu Miao nodded.

"Yes, that's the truth."
