The Pentium Era - South to North

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull. Zhang Chen raised his glass and said to everyone: "Come on, don't talk about the unpleasant things in the past, let's drink."

Everyone raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank.

Zhang Chen and Jiajia said: "You two aunties are good and the food is delicious."

"It's delicious, isn't it? If it's delicious, please come more often. And you, Beibei, you know, and you, Mr. Xie. Although we just met today, we will all be friends from now on."

Lao Xie and Zhang Xiangbei both agreed, and Zhang Chen said, it's settled. When I come to Haicheng, I will come to your place to have a meal, and you, Jiajia and Yilin, must also go to Hangcheng.

"I don't need to call here. I come to Sister Jiajia's place to eat basically every week. You can't eat such delicious food outside." Yilin and Zhang Chen said, "I will definitely go to Hangzhou. If Master If you scold me, help me block it."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, no problem, I will help you block it.

"Yilin, what are you talking about? You mainly eat out too much and are tired of it." Jiajia said, "The food here is not good-looking, and the presentation and knife skills are not as particular as those of Brother Zhang Chen and you guys. But firstly, the food is fresh and bought fresh on the same day, and secondly, it tastes delicious.”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he was unconvinced and said, "The dishes at our 'Catering Men and Women' are also fresh, and they are all bought on the same day."

"Okay, I won't hit you." Jiajia said with a smile, "However, my fish, shrimps and crabs were brought directly from the fishing boat to the Haidian River below. If you see it, just go to the pier below, and then What you brought to me, Brother Zhang Chen, no matter how fresh your 'food and drink' is, it's not as fresh as mine, right?"

Zhang Chen stared at Jiajia. There was really no way to compete like this. If the comparison continued, the only choice would be to jump into the sea and eat raw food.

Jiajia laughed loudly: "Okay, Brother Zhang Chen, I often ask your 'Food and Drink' chefs to come to my house to cook."

"I can prove this. I've eaten here several times." Yilin said, "I know it's from Brother Zhang Chen's company, and it tastes particularly delicious."

"I originally wanted to do it today, but when I thought that Brother Zhang Chen was here, it was a bit embarrassing to ask people from your company to do it. It's the two aunties who have to do the hard work." Jiajia smiled and said, "How about it, Brother Zhang Chen, I'm satisfied now Alright?"

"I'm satisfied." Zhang Chen also said with a smile, "It's just that it's really delicious, I'm not just saying it in a polite way."

"Brother Zhang Chen, I don't agree with what you just said." Jiajia said.

"What words?" Zhang Chen asked.

"What unpleasant things did you say? These are things in the past, but they are not unpleasant things. At the time, it was really difficult, but now that I think about it, it is not unpleasant at all. Instead, it is a bit warm. I feel that it was so difficult for me before, and it is not unpleasant at all." They have all come through, and they are still a little proud of themselves." Jiajia said.

"Jiajia, you are right, I feel the same way, but there is a saying you haven't forgotten. If you like to recall the past, it means that a person is old." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"When you get old, you get old. You are already an old woman anyway. Therefore, when Beibei is here, we old people have to tell them these things. No matter if they say that we rely on our old age to sell our old age, we just have to say, We need to let them know that it is not easy for us to come here, and we need to let them learn to cherish it," Jiajia said.

Zhang Xiangbei said quickly: "Aunt Jiajia, I like hearing these things very much. For me, they are both experience and wealth."

"If you can say that, Auntie likes it." Jiajia smiled and nodded.

Everyone chatted while drinking, and still went back to the past. With a few old friends together, what would we talk about if we didn't talk about the past? The past is like a spring connecting them. As long as they are not careful, it will pull them to their side.

The sky outside is gradually getting dark, and the Qiongzhou Strait has sunk into the dark night. Today is a cloudy day. There are no stars, no moon or a trace of light in the sky. The sky and the sea have merged into one, and the night has dyed both the sea and the sky black. A piece of water, a beacon, and two ferry ships, their lights on, seemed to be embedded in a piece of black cloth, motionless.

Zhang Chen looked at the lights of the ferry and thought to himself, there are probably no people on the ferry now who are completely ignorant about the future and this island like they were back then, and they probably dove in headfirst, and there are probably no people like Jia Jia. For people like Jianqiang, who were anxious to escape from the island, everything became peaceful.

Zhang Chen remembered Lao Xie when he saw him. He told Jiajia that we are not qualified to rely on our elders and sell them. Mr. Xie is a legend. He has been here since the establishment of Hainan Province. Until now, all the people on this island have The ups and downs of the past are all engraved in his heart, and he is the living dictionary of the changes in Haicheng.

"By the way, Mr. Xie, when everyone was so crazy, did you ever speculate on off-the-plan properties?" Zhang Chen asked Lao Xie.

Lao Xie said no, I hadn’t even thought about it, and I didn’t even buy Mr. Liu’s Jinghai International Financial Center and Hongyu Building.

"We bought the Hongyu Building."

Jiajia said and looked at Zhang Chen and said to him:

"Jianqiang went to Brother Ganzi. I didn't even know that Brother Ganzi opened the back door for him and gave him a discount. He bought and sold it and made money, so he told me. That was his first time. When buying off-the-plan property, he said, buy from an acquaintance, so you can feel more at ease.”

That time, Jianqiang and Liu Ligan had a fight, and it was the first time they saw Liu Ligan again after they moved away from Yilin.

Zhang Chen and Lao Xie said: "You shouldn't, Mr. Xie, how can you hold it in so much? Logically speaking, you have money and connections, so you should be speculating."

Lao Xie smiled and said:

"Have you forgotten that I fell ahead of you? I took the money and went to Hainan to build a furniture factory. In the end, I lost everything. Only that piece of land and a dilapidated factory building were left. If Longkun South Road hadn't been opened, it would have been perfect. Just passing through that piece of land, our piece of land and factory buildings turned into delicious food, and then we turned over. I don’t even know where I will be now.

"After I came back from that time, I made a rule for myself: I would not touch a business that I could not see clearly, such as off-the-plan properties or real estate. At that time, I didn't even understand how I could jump into it and still do it. There are two things.”

Lao Xie stretched out two fingers and gestured. Zhang Xiangbei was very curious and asked: "Uncle Xie, what two points?"

"First, when Longkun South Road was opened, I picked up a big leak. I was so lucky. I told myself that a person can't always be so lucky. Picking up a bag on the road may happen to you once by chance. , but again and again?”

As Lao Xie said, everyone nodded, and Lao Xie continued:

"At that time, the chefs in our cafeteria, the young masters and princesses in the KTV, and the security guards below were all speculating in off-the-plan real estate. Even the people who came to our cafeteria to sell swill were also speculating in off-the-plan real estate. I knew something was wrong and something big was going to happen. But I don’t know what big thing will happen. I only know that making money is not that easy.

"A very simple truth, if it is so easy for everyone to make money, then whose money do they earn? Where does this money come from? Does it all fall from the sky? As long as money does not fall from the sky, then there is money on the ground. A monster."

"High, high, Mr. Xie, your idea is really high." Yilin raised his thumb and said, "It seems that ginger is still hotter with age."

Jiajia nodded and said: "That's true. At that time, we felt that everyone was robbing money. We didn't think about the risks of robbing money. We just thought that since it was robbing, we should robbing it faster. As long as You make money because you have faster hands and feet than others. You don't care about other things, but in the end, you are trapped in it and buried alive."

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Yilin looked at Zhang Xiangbei and on a whim, he shouted:

"How about it, Zhang Xiangbei, let's find a place to compete? I usually compete with these guys below, but every one of them deliberately loses to me. It's not interesting at all."

"Okay, let's compete, who is afraid of you?" Zhang Xiangbei also shouted.

"Then we agreed, you are not allowed to let me go." Yilin said.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will show no mercy at all. I will make you look for teeth all over the place, regardless of whether you are the director or not." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Yilin laughed loudly and said: "If you want me to look for teeth all over the floor, then I will enjoy it. I will treat you to dinner next time, and let the guys below come to watch and watch their boss. Why are there so many teeth all over the floor?"

Lao Xie smiled and said: "Such a wonderful game, I must go and watch it."

"Okay, you can be our witness." Yilin said, and the three of them stood up.

Jiajia asked: "Beibei, will you come back later?"

Zhang Xiangbei thought for a while and said not necessarily. If they had come early and called me, I would have left directly from my senior brother.

"Then wait." Jiajia also stood up and called inside: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue."

The girl ran out. Jiajia pointed at Zhang Xiangbei and said to her:

"His name is Beibei, North, South, East, North and West. You take him to see those rooms and let him choose one. Once he has chosen, that will be his room from now on. By the way, you give him the door key and access control. set."

Xiaoyue said yes and led Zhang Xiangbei away. Lao Xie also followed, saying he wanted to see the house.

Jiajia and Zhang Chen said, "Brother Zhang Chen, don't worry. From now on, Beibei will be in Hainan, and Yilin and I will be here. We will take good care of him."

Zhang Chen quickly said: "Thank you Jiajia, thank you Yilin."

When the three people came back, Jiajia asked, "Have you chosen?"

Zhang Xiangbei said he had picked it, thank you Aunt Jiajia.

"Beibei, if you go to Haicheng, you are not allowed to sleep outside. If you don't know, treat this place as your home. If you don't come back to Haicheng, my aunt will be angry."

Jiajia said, Zhang Xiangbei quickly said yes, yes.

The three of them were about to leave when Jiajia shouted again: "Yilin, Yilin."

Yilin stopped, and Jiajia scolded: "You are dizzy again. Three people have drunk, and you still want to drive? I know the police will not stop you if they see it. If anyone else you know knows, they will take pictures and keep it." Where is the evidence? Do you still want to be a star? How many times have I told you to be careful and let Xiaoyue send you there."

Yilin chuckled, Jiajia and Xiaoyue said: "Wherever they want to go, you send them there."

Xiaoyue said yes.
