On the first day of winter vacation, Zhou Linghua called.
"Xiaozi, wish you a good year."
Zhou Linghua is very good at doing things and said: "According to the agreement, I will transfer this dividend to your account. Linghua's development cannot be separated from you! I really want to hire you as a technical director in our company with a high salary. "
It is the tradition of Xia people to settle all the affairs of the year before the Spring Festival.
Zhou Linghua can spend the Spring Festival with other people's money, but he can never use Chen Xiao's money. Chen Xiao is Linghua Company's biggest backer now.
"You're welcome! Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Linghua laughed heartily and said, "We brothers won't talk about this anymore. The mobile phone is easy to use. Open the phone and make calls, and the phone company will reimburse you."
Zhou Linghua also hopes to have a good relationship with Chen Xiao by doing this.
After all, based on Chen Xiao's current level, you have no way of knowing how high his upper limit is.
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou." After Chen Xiao and Zhou Linghua exchanged pleasantries, they hung up the phone.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiao went to the bank to check the accounts.
His current bank card is called the Zodiac Card. It was opened with his parents' account in his second year of high school for the purpose of saving New Year's money.
The balance on the account is 53,200.
Good guy!
Except for the dozens of dollars on the card that were Chen Xiao's New Year's money savings over the years, the rest were all Zhou Linghua's dividends during this period.
Chen Xiao doesn't need to check the accounts. He can just check the bills with Wang Xiang after the New Year.
More than 50,000 yuan is a lot of money in this era.
Jiangcheng is a third-tier city, and the housing prices of the first batch of commercial housing in 2000 were only over 1,000 per square meter.
This amount of money can buy a small house in Jiangcheng. This amount of money is also equal to the total income of Chen Qiang and Lin Hui for two to three years.
Chen Xiao directly withdrew two thousand yuan and prepared to buy some New Year gifts for Chen Qiang and Lin Hui.
Chen Xiao bought two bottles of Maotai and a Huazi for Chen Qiang, and a gold necklace and high-end skin care products for Lin Hui.
A bottle of Moutai in 2000 was only 290 yuan, which was so cheap!
Chen Xiao was wondering if he could find a way to make a fortune, buy a few pieces of Maotai liquor and put them there, and then take them out twenty years later.
After all, the young man didn’t know the fragrance of liquor, so he mistakenly filled up his warehouse with technology.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Hui and Chen Qiang got up early and started preparing lunch at noon and New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
Today the three sisters of the Chen family will spend the New Year at Chen Qiang's house.
There are three brothers and sisters in Lao Chen's family.
The eldest sister, Chen Mei, is a full-time housewife. Her husband, Zhou Hongbing, started his career as a carpenter and is now a small labor subcontractor in Jiangzhou, the provincial capital. The family is relatively well-off. After graduating from high school, his son Zhou Tao followed his father to construction sites. A girlfriend who works in a bank in the city is planning to get married on National Day this year.
The third brother, Chen Jian, spent all his family's efforts to support his education. After graduating from college, he was assigned to the Jiangzhou City Construction Bureau and is now a section chief. His wife, Sun Yan, is a Chinese teacher in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, and his daughter, Chen Ping, is a Chinese teacher at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. He is about the same age as Chen Xiao. He is studying in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School and is also a senior in high school.
If it were just the three brothers and sisters of the old Chen family, there would be nothing to say about their relationship. After all, they were raised by one mother.
At first, Chen Jian's academic performance was good, but his family conditions were very poor. Only Chen Mei and Chen Qiang went out to do farm work early to support a student. How could such a sister's relationship be bad?
But now that everyone has settled down, each small family has its own ideas, and the older generation has passed away, so some discord will occur.
The source of the conflict is the family room of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory.
The family room is not spacious. It is a two-bedroom apartment with more than 70 square meters and is not worth much.
The most important thing is that Chen Jian works at Jiangzhou Construction Bureau. There is definite news that the family area of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory will be demolished, and the compensation will be 1:3. Now the three families have their own ideas.
In 1998, commercial housing reform and urban infrastructure construction began across the country, and Jiangcheng City was not far behind.
The location of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory's family area is in the center of Jiangcheng City. It sticks to Jiangcheng's heart like a piece of dog skin plaster, which is very disgusting.
If Jiangcheng wanted to develop further, it would either have to relocate its administrative functions, teaching and medical resources, or demolish the family area of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory.
Obviously, the last option is more cost-effective.
Therefore, the demolition of the family area of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory should be this year.
The eldest sister Chen Mei marries well, and Zhou Hongbing knows how to find money. Because of the support of his brother and sister, Chen Jian was able to get a better job after attending college.
Therefore, in order to compensate Chen Qiang and support the most vulnerable, Chen Qiang's father gave Chen Qiang a job at Jiangcheng Machinery Factory and also left a small house to Chen Qiang.
It would be okay if the house is not demolished, but once it is demolished, the eldest sister and the younger brother-in-law have different opinions.
The three families are going to be a little unhappy over this matter.
At noon, Chen Mei, Zhou Hongbing, and Zhou Ping's family arrived in Zhou Hongbing's Santana
As one of the first batch of nouveau riche contractors, Zhou Hongbing is also among the first batch of car buyers in Jiangyang Province.
Being able to drive a Santana is already amazing!
Chen Jian's family came by bus. Although he was the section chief of the Construction Bureau, Chen Jian's conditions were not enough to buy a car.
"Chen Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you've grown taller again!" Chen Mei came down carrying a gift.
"That's right, boys are willing to grow up when they are seventeen or eighteen years old!" Sun Yan dressed up and said with a smile.
It can be clearly seen from their clothing that these two families are from the city, while Lin Hui is dressed as a country person.
Chen Xiao was very polite and greeted everyone.
Lin Hui wiped her hands on her apron and said, "You're here, what are you bringing?"
Sun Yan's voice was a bit shrill, "This isn't the Chinese New Year, why don't you bring anything with you?"
Chen Xiao looked at the gifts brought by his aunt and uncle's family - he didn't know what brand of wine, the copycat version of Wangwang's "Wang Wang Gift Pack", the tea leaves with yellowed and faded outer shells, and those without any product logos. I don’t know if eating these health supplements will kill you.
Well, the gift is quite nice.
I don’t know how long these gifts have been at their house, and they passed through several hands before they arrived at Chen Xiao’s house.
Especially the tea and health products, they may have expired.
People are quite realistic.
If Chen Qiang were the boss of the company or the director of that bureau, the gifts brought today would definitely be Wuliangye and the best Maofeng.
It's a pity that Chen Qiang is not just an ordinary factory worker, so he is treated as a trash can.
Zhou Hongbing pretended to be angry and said: "Brothers and sisters, we are all one family, why are you so polite! Zhou Tao, help aunt carry the things in quickly."
Zhou Tao looked at Chen Xiao and said hello with a smile, "Okay, happy New Year, aunt, Xiaozi, you have grown taller!"
There are dissensions among the elders, but the relationship between the three Chen Xiao siblings is pretty good.
Chen Xiao greeted warmly, "Hello, brother Tao! Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister!"
However, Zhou Tao's girlfriend and soon-to-be daughter-in-law Chen Ling didn't want to come in when she saw the somewhat dirty community environment and old family area.
Zhou Tao shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Come in quickly, it's very cold outside."
Chen Ling walked in coyly.
The adults were talking outside, while Chen Xiao pulled Zhou Ping and Zhou Tao into his bedroom to play PES 3 together.
The performance of the computer provided by Zhou Linghua can be said to be quite good in this era!
Zhou Ping saw that Chen Xiao actually had a computer, and said with confusion and jealousy: "Xiaozi, your family just bought a computer!"
Zhou Ping had been thinking about the computer for a long time, but her father was not willing to buy it. After all, one costs more than 10,000 yuan.
