LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 768 A bad fate
"That's still false. He told me personally." Seeing Wang Mingzhu's surprised expression, Abao suddenly felt that he had gained a lot of face.
As a result, Wang Mingzhu clasped her fingers and said depressedly: "Hema's annual membership fee is only 100 yuan, which is equivalent to my two months' salary."
"That doesn't matter. I'll ask Hao to get one for you for free later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Mingzhu shouted loudly: "Don't do this to me. I have already said that I am a national civil servant, so don't try to bribe me!"
Abao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Wang Mingzhu walking upstairs again, he quickly shouted after her: "Hey, don't forget my order."
"Stop barking and just wait in line."
Helpless, Abao could only continue to queue up. As a result, he spent another day in the Foreign Trade Building and still didn't see Section Chief Jin.
On the other hand, Qin Hao's progress was relatively smooth. He received a warm reception at the China Merchants Bureau, and Director Zhao was full of praise for the investment plan he wrote.
"If Mr. Qin's commercial complex plan can be implemented, it will definitely become another landmark building in Shanghai."
Qin Hao said modestly: "Commercial complexes actually have very mature experience in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. I am just picking up others' wisdom."
"Well, now that the country is vigorously developing its economy, it is necessary to learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries. Mr. Qin's plan is just right. It's just right." Zhao Chu heard that there were successful precedents in Europe and the United States, and he was even more optimistic about this plan.
"But if it is built according to this plan, the entire project will probably cost at least 150 million Hong Kong dollars, in terms of budget."
Qin Hao said seriously: "Zhao doesn't have to worry about funding. As long as this plan can be approved, raising the money in Hong Kong is not a problem. Together with Hema's partners, I can contribute 100 million Hong Kong dollars."
Zhao Chu calculated silently. If the bottom line is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, the project will basically be considered stable. The remaining tens of millions can be completely solved through bank loans. According to the existing policies, Hong Kong companies investing in the mainland can get loans of Very easy to distribute.
"Okay, I will bring this plan to the meeting for discussion later. Mr. Qin will go back and wait for the news."
"Then I'll trouble Director Zhao."
"It's no trouble, it's all about serving the people."
Not long after Qin Hao returned from China Merchants Bureau, he received a call from Tao Tao.
"Ah Hao, last time you asked whether you still want that old mansion?"
Although Tao Tao is usually careless and not interested in anything, he is actually very loyal and always takes care of his brothers' affairs as a top priority.
"Yes, where are you now?"
"I'm on Shaanxi South Road, and the owner of that house is right next to me. Can you come over now?"
"fifteen minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao stopped a taxi and rushed to Shaanxi South Road immediately.
As soon as he arrived at the intersection, Qin Hao's eyes lit up. There were all rows of old bungalows with a sense of history. The French plane trees on both sides of the street were strong and tall. Many branches had already extended into the yards of some old bungalows. In the summer, the trees Sitting under the shade and drinking tea should have a unique artistic conception.
"Ah Hao, here." Tao Tao waved to Qin Hao at the door of a restaurant.
"Not bad. Where did you find this place?" Qin Hao put his arm around Tao Tao's shoulders.
Tao Tao whispered: "An old couple, their son settled there after studying abroad. Seeing that the old couple were getting older, they wanted to take them in to take care of them in their old age. The old bungalow was also empty, so I thought Just sell it."
Qin Hao nodded, this situation is relatively common in Shanghai.
After arriving at the box, Qin Hao met the old couple. The man was a retired engineer and the woman was a university teacher. They both looked polite. They didn't say much about the price. They just hoped that Qin Hao could treat the couple well. Qin Hao naturally agreed to the old house. He had no intention of radically renovating it.
In the end, Qin Hao bought the old house from the old couple for US$15,000. It would be more expensive if paid in RMB. After all, domestic exchange was very troublesome. After learning that Qin Hao could pay in US dollars, he gave He gave a discount.
The next day, Qin Hao went through the transfer procedures with the old couple and got the key to the old bungalow.
It can be seen that they are still very affectionate to this house. The upstairs and downstairs are cleaned spotlessly, and all the mahogany furniture in the house are given to Qin Hao. According to their words, they can't take them away anyway, so they might as well Just stayed.
After sending the old couple away, Tao Tao lay down directly on the mahogany sofa.
"Hey, this sofa is too stiff and old-fashioned. You can replace it with springs some other time."
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "If it's too hard, just get a cushion. If you replace it with a new sofa, the feeling of an old bungalow will disappear."
"What's so good about an old bungalow? If I want to buy it, I'll buy a building. It's best if it has an elevator. I want to buy the highest floor so I can directly see the Huangpu River from home."
While the two were chatting, the door rang. As soon as the door was opened, A Bao was panting and holding on to the door frame.
"Oh, this is the new house you bought, Hao? It's quite tasteful."
"Not bad, Tao Tao said he was old-fashioned."
"He knows shit, this is called style."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Tao locked his neck, and the two started fighting.
Qin Hao glanced at the time: "Let's go, have a meal, and then go shopping on Nanjing Road to buy some daily necessities."
We found a small restaurant nearby and the three of us chatted while eating.
"Abao, how are you doing over there?" Tao Tao asked curiously.
Abao sighed helplessly: "Oh, don't mention it. Now I know how difficult it is to make money in foreign trade. I was stuck for several days just at this first level. I heard that someone was squatting there. After more than a month, I finally left empty-handed.”
"Did you not give gifts to others? Why don't you wait until they get off work and give them some gifts? I heard from the bosses on Huanghe Road that you can't get anything done without giving gifts these days."
When talking about this, Ah Bao was both angry and funny: "Don't talk about giving gifts. Miss Wang from the Foreign Trade Building, when I asked her to treat her to a meal, they said I was bribing her. Ah Hao has seen it. , Oh, the little girl is amazing."
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Wang Mingzhu's hands on her hips and her righteous words.
"This Miss Wang is really interesting."
Tao Tao clicked his tongue: "Hey, Ah Hao, you must have fallen in love with me, right?"
"What's not allowed?"
Abao and Tao Tao only thought Qin Hao was joking and started teasing him.
After eating and drinking, the three of them went straight to Nanjing Road to make a big purchase. What Qin Hao felt most deeply about the whole shopping process was that it was cumbersome.
Most of the products are placed on the shelves. Customers are always separated from the products by a counter. Whatever they want, they have to ask the salesperson at the counter to bring it to you. If there are many people, the salesperson will not be able to handle it at all, and customers can only wait at the counter. Wait there.
After this shopping experience, Qin Hao was even more convinced that the department store model would be quickly replaced by supermarkets.
They were busy until the sun went down. Qin Hao and his party took three taxis before they could barely put their things down.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted, Ah Hao. I don't want to go back tonight, so I'll sleep here with you." Tao Tao was so tired that he fell down on the sofa and refused to get up.
"Okay, anyway, there are many guest rooms, you can choose as you like." Qin Hao looked at A Bao: "Why don't A Bao leave tonight? I'll buy some food and cook some side dishes for you myself."
"A few more bottles of Qibao Daqu, I can't get used to Maotai and the like."
Just when Qin Hao came back from shopping for groceries, he suddenly found that there was someone else in the old bungalow. Fang Mei greeted Qin Hao gracefully, but Tao Tao hid in the room directly, saying that she was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
Qin Hao pulled Abao into the kitchen: "What's going on?"
"What else could happen? It's just as you guessed." A Bao's two thumbs were bent and touched together. The meaning was already obvious. Tao Tao and Fang Mei had already confirmed their relationship.
Qin Hao could only lament that the gears of fate were so tightly meshed. Tao Tao's current situation had changed a lot from the original drama, but in the end, the two of them still knew each other.
"Brother Hao, do you want to cook? Let me help you." Fang Mei rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen as she spoke.
"Okay, then you can help me wash the dishes." Qin Hao did not refuse. In essence, Fangmei is quite good. In the original drama, Tao Tao lent his possessions to Abao twice to start a business, especially when the first time failed. Next, Fangmei did not divorce Tao Tao, which shows that she still likes Tao Tao very much, but because her first child was miscarried and she wanted to have another child, she pushed Tao Tao so hard that Tao Tao did not dare to go home.
Abao came out of the kitchen and found Tao Tao peeking through the crack of the door. He said angrily: "These people are here, why are you pretending to be a grandson?"
Tao Tao grimaced: "I didn't know she would come here today. I just said that I would help Ahao move today."
"Then how did she know the address?"
Tao Tao remained silent.
"Okay, now that we are both eldest and young, it's time to start a family."
"You're talking about me, but what about you?" Tao Tao strangled Abao's neck with his right hand: "Are you still waiting for Xuezhi to divorce? You kid, don't let me look down on you."
"None of your business." Abao knocked off his claws angrily.
In the kitchen, Fangmei washed all the dishes quickly, and Qin Hao asked her to rest outside.
"Brother Hao, you and Tao Tao grew up together, so you should know him very well, right?" Fang Mei asked carelessly.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded: "Absolutely. He is a person who shows everything on his face. Abao and I know what he is thinking without having to guess."
"Then what do you think he is thinking now?"
"You should be thinking about what I'm talking to you about."
"Haha~~~"
After joking, Qin Hao said sternly to Fangmei: "Actually, Tao Tao is still very nice. He just likes to save face and is afraid of trouble. Just smooth his hair and save him some face in front of outsiders. Just don’t push him too hard.”
Fangmei nodded thoughtfully: "But, if I don't force him, he will always avoid me."
"Then you might as well take a step back and try not to say a word to him for a week, let alone help him look after the shop."
"Is this really okay?"
"People are like this. They often don't know how to cherish what they get easily. They will only regret it after losing it. Let him try to live without you in his life. When he wakes up, he will naturally come to you."
"Well, that makes sense, thank you." Fangmei beamed after getting the "cheats".
Qin Hao joked: "Thank you, but don't tell Tao Tao that I taught you this trick, otherwise this kid will probably hate me for the rest of his life."
"Haha~~~"
Tao Tao seemed to have heard the laughter in the kitchen, and couldn't help but ran over curiously.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Qin Hao and Fang Mei looked at each other and smiled. Qin Hao joked, "I wonder if you still wet the bed in the second grade of elementary school."
"You remember wrongly, the one who wet the bed was obviously Po."
"You're the only one who wets the bed. You've been wetting the bed since the third grade."
Abao, who was innocently involved, also launched a counterattack and made a fuss in the kitchen, almost overturning the casserole. In the end, the two troublemakers were kicked out by Qin Hao.
"It's time to eat."
Tao Tao couldn't wait for the food to be served.
"I'm really exhausted today. I need to take more supplements."
"Wow, the braised pork today is really great. It's fat but not greasy. It's no worse than those restaurants on Huanghe Road."
"Well, this oil-fried shrimp has a crispy shell and tender meat. It's really a masterpiece."
In response to the three people's compliments, Qin Hao calmly accepted all the orders. His skills have been accumulated through more than a dozen worlds. To put it bluntly, if he opens a restaurant, the chefs on Huanghe Road will really not be enough. .
"Come on, thank you all for helping me move today. I have nothing to entertain, just a few side dishes and enough wine." Qin Hao picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the three of them.
Tao Tao rolled up his sleeves directly: "You said this, I won't go back tonight, I have to drink you down."
"That's right, you won't come home until you're drunk."
In view of Qin Hao's drinking capacity, Abao decided to join forces with Tao Tao.
However, in the end, both of them drank and fell down, and Qin Hao only blushed slightly.
"Okay, Fangmei, you go back first, leave the two of them to me." Qin Hao stopped Fangmei who was clearing away the dishes. After all, she was a girl, and it was always not good for her to stay out at night.
"Brother Hao, I'll go back first."
After turning around, Abao got up in a daze. He looked at his watch and quickly got up from the bed. He put on his clothes and casually said hello to Qin Hao and ran out.
I hailed a taxi and came to the Foreign Trade Building, and ran in panting.
Wang Mingzhu glanced at the time and stared at him with her hands on her hips: "Do you know how precious our section chief's time is? I said so many good things for you before she agreed to give you a few minutes. You were almost late."
Ah Bao knew he was in the wrong, so he could only accompany him carefully: "I'm really sorry, Ah Hao had two more drinks yesterday when he moved to a new house."
"Hmph, come up with me. Our section chief only has five minutes for you."
When they got to the third floor, Wang Mingzhu knocked on the door and after getting permission, opened the door and let A Bao in.
Jinhua didn't even raise her eyelids and asked casually: "Who introduced you here?"
Abao thought of Qin Hao's instructions, swallowed his words again, and reorganized his words: "Don't you have to go through the 27th before doing foreign trade?"
