Technological Hegemony

Chapter 10 Family Crisis

I don't know who brought the limelight. In this era, many cities build high-speed rail stations in places where the birds don't shit, and then enclose large tracts of farmland and build new urban areas in the name of stimulating economic construction.

However, after the establishment of the new urban area and the high-speed rail station, the supporting traffic could not keep up. Every time Luo Jia went home, Luo Jia had to squeeze the bus for a long time.

But now, Luo Jia is not what it used to be. With the two orders from the mobile game company and Yang Shouting, Luo Jia will earn more than one million yuan this month, and with the development of Sky Eye, similar advertising orders will only increase. There were more and more people coming, so he readily called a Didi.

"Don't worry, it will take half an hour at most, and you won't be delayed for lunch." The driver chatted with Luo Jia, "If you take the bus at this time, it will take more than an hour at least. Buses are expensive, but they are efficient and the environment is good.”

"It's like business seats on the high-speed rail. You can go everywhere. Why are business seats so expensive? What they sell is service and the environment. Second-class seats are different. The bully seats are running around and making loud noises." Those who make phone calls will bother you to death, the business class is so good, you can close your eyes and rest your mind all the way, you will arrive at your destination comfortably, and there will be free meals and snacks."

Luo Jia smiled, "Master, you know quite a lot. I haven't been a business seater yet, so I must try it when I get the chance."

"Isn't it boring to drive every day? I like to chat with passengers." The driver said, "By the way, your place is full of old houses. I heard that they will be demolished next year. You are really lucky."

Luo Jia was slightly taken aback, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The driver smiled mysteriously, "How can I tell the ordinary people about this kind of thing in advance? A while ago, I picked up a southerner, who seemed to be the project manager of Vanke or Country Garden. He was calling in my car, and I overheard it. .”

"The buildings don't matter, but there are dozens of second-story townhouses in your community. When the time comes, they will be temporarily covered, and the second floor will be added to the fourth floor. If you don't pay the developer, you will live in the joint. Arrange a small building?"

Luo Jia frowned, "Our house is really a row house. The house is not too big, but there is a courtyard in front. There are sixty-four similar row buildings in the community."

"Then your family is about to lose money. A house with a yard in the city center is very expensive." The driver's eyes lit up, and he said a lot of envious words, but Luo Jia didn't take it to heart.

"No wonder my uncle is so eager to buy the house. I'm afraid he already knows about the demolition." Luo Jia thought.

 …

The car stopped outside the community, Luo Jia got out of the car with his backpack on his back, and looked around.

More than ten years ago, my father opened a factory and made some money. When he bought a house here, it was still a suburb. Now, with the expansion of the city, the former suburb has become a part of the city center.

There are many newly developed high-end residential buildings around, with huge glass curtain walls shining in the sun, and there are many luxury cars coming and going in the underground parking lot. In contrast, Luo Jia lives in an old and old community, and more than half of them are townhouses. It does have potential for development.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Luo Jia took the key to open the door, entered the house to change her shoes, threw the backpack into her room, took off her coat and came to the living room.

His father was always serious. He was watching TV, frowned and said, "There is no holiday, why are you running home, can you keep up with the class?"

"I miss you guys." Luo Jia said.

"How old are you and still love your family? Take a break, your mother is frying lamb chops for you, her academic performance is not very good, but her mouth is picky. These days, three catties of lamb chops cost two hundred yuan less. I am young. At that time, no one bought lamb chops for seven yuan a catty."

Father muttered, Luo Jia has long been used to his knife mouth and tofu heart. If he really thinks lamb chops are expensive, will he buy three catties at a time? It's not that he is afraid that his son will not have enough to eat.

Roger went into the kitchen.

The range hood roared,

The mother is wearing an apron and is frying lamb chops on the stove. Although the lamb chops are good, the oily smoke is quite heavy when cooking. There are small beads of sweat on the mother's forehead. There are also a plate of preserved eggs and a plate of lotus root slices on the kitchen chopping board. , cooking porridge in the pot.

Luo Jia lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, then frowned and said, "It's barley and red bean porridge again? Mom, you read too many articles in Moments. If you can lose weight by drinking this stuff, why do you need the law of energy conservation?"

"You child, barley and red bean porridge can not only lose weight, but also remove moisture. If the moisture is heavy, people will become edema."

"But our family lives in the north, where does the humidity come from?" Luo Jia felt like crying.

"Pengcheng is next to Yunlong Lake, and the lake is very humid." Mother forcefully explained.

Luo Jia sighed, these are parents, they are stubborn, they don't understand science, but you still love them for no reason, lest they suffer even a little bit of wronged.

"Mom, what happened to what I told you?"

Luo Jia picked up a freshly fried lamb chop from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. It was a little hot and he grinned.

"Eat slowly, your child looks like a starving ghost reincarnated." The mother said, "In our house, I can decide what to buy and what to cook, but I can't control your father's affairs. "

"Your little uncle called again this morning. He is collecting money. There is still a shortfall of one hundred thousand. It is estimated that he will come to sign the contract in the afternoon. Your father didn't say anything, but he probably agreed."

Mother whispered while looking into the living room, fearing that the conversation with Luo Jia would be overheard by Luo's father.

Luo Jia suddenly felt in a bad mood, "How much is my uncle going to pay?"

"Nine hundred thousand."

Luo Jia was taken aback, "900,000 just wants to buy our house? Why doesn't he go to the main road to pick it up? A 110-square-meter townhouse with a courtyard, two years ago when the house price wasn't so high. , Uncle Liu’s house sold for 1.2 million, once I met him after school and said hello, he said that the house sold cheap back then, if he didn’t move away, it would be nice to continue to be our neighbor.”

"Little uncle is too ruthless. This is planning to kill our family."

Luo Jia's mother said, "It's a bit low, but your uncle agreed to lend us the old house next to the vegetable market, saving us the money to rent a house."

Luo Jia raised his forehead, with a black line on his forehead, "The apartment in the vegetable market has one bedroom and one living room. You can't even see the sun. It's pitch black. No one rents it for 600 yuan a month, and it's borrowed. It’s not given, you old couple are willing to live, I’m afraid that place will not be good for your health.”

"Mom, I heard that our area is about to be demolished. If the house cannot be kept, our family will suffer a lot. Tell me the truth, who do we owe? How much?"

Luo Jia's mother was a little embarrassed. She had lived here for more than ten years, and the neighbors were friendly and did not want to move out. She also knew that the house my uncle mentioned was not suitable for people to live in, and it would be a pain to live in it.

"The ones who owe the most are your uncle and uncle."

"Uncles?"

"Yes, my uncle has more, there are 270,000 yuan, and my uncle has 160,000 yuan. They are both my brothers. In fact, they didn't force your father to pay back the money. Your father has a stubborn temper and thinks that they are relatives." , If you owe money, you can’t meet each other during the holidays, so you have to sell the house to pay off the debt.”

"The other one is you, Uncle Feng, who owes him a total of 300,000 yuan, and he is the one who pursues the debt most closely. He came to the house yesterday, saying he was visiting an old friend. In fact, he insisted on repaying the money in three words." This matter made your father very angry, so he made up his mind and decided to sell the house."

"In addition, there are 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in miscellaneous things, but the amount of money is not large, and the creditor is also a friend from the past, so I didn't say much." Luo Jia's mother told him.

"Mom, I'm going out to buy a bottle of Coke."

The situation was almost understood, Luo Jia found an excuse to leave the house, called the two uncles and Feng Youde in the courtyard of the community, and told them to come to the house in the afternoon.

In fact, he didn't have enough money to repay the debt. Xu Changge agreed with him to pay 250,000 yuan a week. After all, although Luo Jia is the founder of Eye of the Sky in name, Eye of the Sky has not yet registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Xu Changge I was also afraid that he would get the money and run away.

The amount that Luo Jia can currently mobilize is only in the early 300,000 yuan. Whether he can settle the family crisis depends on this afternoon.
