    ??

    But looking at Old Man Zhou¡¯s declining appearance, he thought of the debate over whether or not to demolish ancient buildings during the national economic construction process.

    Huang Shaowen sighed in his heart: Forget it, let¡¯s keep this house.

    "Where do you plan to move to, my father-in-law? Where is your family?"

    Old man Zhou shook his head, "My family are all abroad. I'm alone here. I'll find a house to live in first. At this age, I'm just waiting to die."

    Huang Shaowen advised: "Don't say that. Is it possible that your family will come back to find you in the past two years? What a pity it would be if they can't find you when they come back."

    Old man Zhou heard that there was something in Huang Shaowen's words.

    Since Huang Shaowen doesn¡¯t live there, and he doesn¡¯t want the house to be vacant, doesn¡¯t the old man in front of him help look after the house?

    "My husband, you are looking for a place to live anyway, so you might as well live at my place. I won't charge you rent, but you have to take care of the house."

    Old man Zhou looked at Huang Shaowen in surprise, can there be such good people and good deeds these days?

    "real?"

    Huang Shaowen nodded, "Really."

    I thought I wanted to persuade him, but Old Man Zhou nodded immediately, "Okay, at this old age, I don't want to be pretentious. Now that you said that, do I take it seriously?"

    Huang Shaowen smiled. He said he was seventy but not overstepping the rules. The old man looked at sixty or so, but his level was quite high.

    "If you are worried, we can write a note."

    Old man Zhou waved his hand hurriedly, "Forget it in writing. If I write a written receipt after receiving your kindness, then who am I? You are a young man, not bad!"

    Huang Shaowen said: "One more thing, I have a business with this brother. Do we have a sturdier warehouse? We have things to move there."

    Huang Shaowen bought this house partly to earn potential value, but partly because he had paid too much for electrical appliances and needed to move to another place.  Chen Dong's place is almost full.

    Father Chen and Mrs. Chen are already dissatisfied with Huang Shaowen using their own place and taking up so much of it. If it weren't for the sake of money, Huang Shaowen would definitely not look good when he came to visit.

    Chen Dong was full of apologies. No matter what, it was Huang Shaowen who gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.

    Huang Shaowen didn't mind, and he understood the mood of Chen Dong's parents.

    Since I had plans to buy a house, I simply transferred my electrical appliance business.

    After listening to Huang Shaowen¡¯s detailed explanation, Father Zhou certainly didn¡¯t have any other ideas. After all, the house now belongs to someone else.  "No problem. The west wing is empty, just leave it there."

    When he went back, Chen Dong was very surprised. If Huang Shaowen did this, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Mr. Zhou two thousand yuan for nothing?

    Huang Shaowen smiled and said, "Two thousand yuan is nothing. What's important is the house. I don't live there, so it's a handful if I can help others."

    After hearing what Huang Shaowen said, Chen Dong smacked his lips. After all, he is a college student, and two thousand yuan is nothing.

    Brother, most people in the capital would have to go without food or drink for at least three or four years to save your two thousand yuan!

    Seeing Chen Dong¡¯s expression, Huang Shaowen smiled and said, ¡°In the future, you will understand that two thousand yuan is really nothing.¡±

    Chen Dong naturally didn¡¯t understand what Huang Shaowen meant, and he couldn¡¯t imagine what the future would look like at all.

    The bicycles they rode were just bought during this period.  Chen Dong met a young man from the courtyard and asked him to get bicycle tickets.

    Huang Shaowen asked him to help with two bicycles. He planned to go home during the Chinese New Year and buy two more bicycles.

    At this time, people basically relied on bicycles to travel. At the beginning of the 1980s, people¡¯s three major items were still bicycles, watches, and sewing machines.

    At this time, the purchase of bicycles is restricted. If you don¡¯t have a ticket, you can¡¯t buy a bicycle no matter how rich you are.

    After a few years, the country¡¯s productivity level has improved and the tickets have been cancelled.  Chinese people's enthusiasm for buying suddenly burst out.

    Especially bicycles, which are a means of transportation for people, almost everyone with a little money can buy one.  China has truly become a bicycle kingdom.

    It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that this enthusiasm gradually faded away and was replaced by the demand for cars.

    When Huang Shaowen¡¯s son was young, his books would always proudly tell students that China, as a big bicycle country, had made important contributions to human environmental causes.

    But Huang Shaowen knew that it was just a helpless act because of poverty.  Who would ride a bicycle if they have money?

    Suddenly Huang Shaowen wondered if the Beijing city government did not expect that there would be so many cars in the capital forty years later, so road construction could not keep up with the development of the times. As a result, the traffic jam in the capital was ridiculed by people all over the country~~

      When he arrived at the place, Chen Dong stopped and raised his watch, "It will take almost 30 minutes. I will help you find it. I will definitely help you find a house near Beijing University."

    Huang Shaowen saw Chen Dong's watch and smiled: "You are such an adult, why are you still wearing an electronic watch?"

    Chen Dong felt that Huang Shaowen's joke was unreasonable, "This? It's very popular now. A few days ago, one of my subordinates introduced a businessman from the southeast, and he sold me at 40."

    Huang Shaowen slapped his head, Damn, I forgot about this.

    ¡°In later generations, adults will all wear mechanical watches, but in this era, mainlanders have never seen electronic watches and find them novel and convenient to tell the time.  So I will buy one and wear it whenever I have the chance.

    "Where is that businessman now? How much goods does he have on hand?"

    Chen Dong looked at Huang Shaowen in surprise, "Do you want to buy it too? This guy is very familiar with me now. I have introduced many customers to him."

    How could Huang Shaowen read such an electronic watch?  "This kind of electronic watch only costs seven or eight yuan at most. What do I need this kind of thing for?"

    When Chen Dong heard Huang Shaowen say that the cost of this thing was only seven or eight yuan, he often cursed angrily: "You stupid profiteer, you actually charged me forty for seven or eight yuan, and you said you sold it to me cheaply. You treat me like a monkey,  Go get this kid when you get back!"

    Huang Shaowen smiled and said, "Okay, I can't be considered a profiteer. It won't be a loss for you if I say forty. He also had to transport it all the way from the south, didn't he? The travel expenses are not included? Plus he makes some money himself, it's almost the same price.  .¡±

    Hearing what Huang Shaowen said, Chen Dong felt relieved a lot.

    Huang Shaowen continued: "It seems that there are really many people who dare to be the first in this era. If you go back and talk to this southeastern person, say I'll treat him to dinner."

    Seeing that Chen Dong still had some questions, Huang Shaowen explained: "Don't you really think that we seem to have made a lot of money? In this era, there are many people who are better than us. Let's just say this Southeast guy. I'll sell you forty,  I guess it would cost fifty or sixty to sell it to someone else, right?"

    Chen Dong nodded and said: "Sixty, that's twenty yuan cheaper for me."

    Huang Shaowen smiled and said: "Look, if he earns fifty from a digital watch, if he has one thousand yuan, it will be fifty thousand. There are so many rich people in the capital, is it not difficult to sell a thousand digital watch?"

    Chen Dong was really shocked, "In the past two days alone, I have introduced dozens of people. In just two or three days, I have made hundreds of dollars! We can only make this amount of money in a week?!"

    Huang Shaowen felt that Chen Dong still didn't understand what he meant, so he continued: "So, we have to find a way to start this business."

    Chen Dong was even more confused, "We? How to do it?"

    Huang Shaowen patted his shoulder and said, "Go back and help me make an appointment with him first. Just find a restaurant near your community at noon tomorrow." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
