Lin Yue suddenly stopped while walking and looked around the surroundings: "Now I know why you asked me to meet here."
On a blind date at the Ming Tombs, perhaps only a cemetery salesman would make such a bizarre choice.
"You won't go back on your word, will you?" Wang Qi's heart tightened.
Lin Yue said: "You put me in the position of a filial son. Wouldn't it be unfilial if I didn't buy it? Don't worry, I will ask my assistant to go to your company to sign the agreement tomorrow."
Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
Lin Yue ignored her and walked forward. Wang Qi knew very well what he was thinking. Judging from the current social situation, buying a cemetery as an investment is extremely risky, and it sounds very low.
Is he being taken advantage of?
Maybe others will have the above thoughts after knowing about this matter, but it won't take long, at most a year, for the cruel reality to give them a loud slap in the face.
The early summer of 2008 was a very interesting time period.
Starting from August and September, the financial crisis will sweep across Southeast Asia, and the futures market, stock market, bond market, and real estate industry will be hit hard. In order to boost market confidence and stimulate the Asian economy to bottom out, the government will launch four measures in November. The trillion-dollar plan will give a shot in the arm to the real estate industry that is on the verge of collapse and drive up housing prices.
The prosperity of real estate will also bring dividends to related fields, and the price of cemeteries will skyrocket. The last three words in the popular saying "can't afford it, can't afford it, can't afford it, can't afford it, can't afford to die." are the reason. Born in the cemetery.
In BJ City, where land is at a premium, the price of a cemetery is higher than the housing price. The land where an urn and a monument are placed is worth hundreds of thousands.
He looked at the address on the cemetery brochure and saw that according to the social situation in the next ten years, there would be no problem at all selling it for 300,000 yuan. Wang Qi may think that what he just said is pure deception, but if he sells it in a few years, he can really make ten times the money.
The side task (2) issued by the system requires him to make five successful investments. If everything goes well, when the price of the cemetery skyrockets, he sells it, and 1.44 million becomes 20 million. One successful investment is completed.
Next, he paid attention to the progress of side task (3), and the number in brackets changed to 2/10+1.
10+1=11, or what?
From the moment he accepted the task, he had a question: What does 10+1 mean? If it means completing 11 blind dates, why should we use "10+1" and why not "11".
What does the 1 after 10 represent?
…
A few days later, Lin Yue received a call. A slightly hoarse female voice came over there. She said her name was Liang Xiaoxiao and she had seen his marriage notice online and wanted to ask him out to meet him in the afternoon.
Bingo, the fish bit.
After setting the place and time for the meeting, Lin Yue left the matter of purchasing the cemetery to Gong Xin, put on his backpack and left the residence, driving a Subaru SUV to Houhai Park for the appointment.
The atmosphere in the coffee shop is a bit ambiguous. There are not many people in the hall. Occasionally, there are one or two chuckles from the corner. They are young white-collar girls talking about the new male colleagues in the company.
Lin Yue looked around for a while, walked to the sofa by the window, looked at the girl who was looking out the window in a daze, and asked: "Is it Miss Liang? I am Fan Shuheng. I'm late because of the traffic jam on the road. I'm sorry."
She wore light makeup, her hair was tied back casually, and she wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a stand-up collar on her upper body, a crystal pendant hanging in the narrow V-neck, a hip-hugging skirt on her lower body, and a pair of delicate and small breasts at the end of her long white legs. High-heeled sandals.
When Lin Yue was sizing her up, she was also sizing up Lin Yue. It could be seen from the flash of light in her eyes that she seemed a little surprised that this man who did not describe his characteristics in the marriage advertisement was more pleasing to the eye than she thought.
"sit down."
Liang Xiaoxiao stood up, shook hands with him, and asked him to sit down opposite.
The coffee on the table is steaming out. On the back of the sign marking the table number is an advertisement used by businesses to attract customers. The red curtains are opened, tassels are placed on the window lattice, and the flying phoenix patterns on the four corners are light and elegant, as if they are under the sun. It will come alive in a second.
Lin Yue looked at her from top to bottom for a while, then his eyes returned to her face.
Liang Xiaoxiao smiled, his expression was awkward and unnatural, it seemed like this was the first time he met the opposite sex through a blind date.
"What do you do?" Lin Yue asked knowingly.
Liang Xiaoxiao changed her sitting position: "I am a stewardess."
"Which company is it from?"
"Haihang."
"Oh, that's good." Lin Yue said, "Shouldn't the social circle of a stewardess be very wide? Why would she go out on a blind date?"
Liang Xiaoxiao moved her hands on her knees and took a look at the duckweed on the lake outside the window. She knew what Lin Yue meant. Compared with other jobs, the stewardess profession has more opportunities to contact successful people and children from rich families in society. It’s hard to imagine that they have to rely on blind dates to find their other half.
"Many of the people I meet at work are unreliable."
She looked at her feet when she said this, and she didn't know whether the word "unreliable" defined Mr. Fang or someone else.
"That's true." Lin Yue nodded slightly. The profession of flight attendant seems to be high-end, but in the future, there will be a little stigmatization. Incidents such as the flight attendant scandal will be exposed every once in a while, and the contact with There are too many upper-class people, and it is inevitable that they will fall into the trap of money worship, reality, and promiscuity.
"How would you rate yourself?"
Liang smiled and glanced at him: "Sixty points."
Lin Yue said: "Sixty points? I'll give you ninety points. You have already picked many people."
Although he knew that it was Liang Xiaoxiao's first blind date, he still asked a question according to the plot of the movie. Women like to be praised for their beauty. If they really want to cut open their belly and take out their heart, liver, and lungs to dry, they will say that she will die. He is pretentious, pretentious, crooked, and irritable, and is afraid that he will fall out and leave on the spot. How can he complete the task like this? He can only act slowly and imitate Qin Fen's tone of voice, and slowly liven up the atmosphere to relieve the embarrassment.
"You're first."
"Oh." Lin Yue said, "I have seen a few, but this is the first one as good-looking as you."
He paused and continued: "One of them is okay, but she made an appointment with me to promote the cemetery, so she can't count."
Liang Xiaoxiao asked: "Then did you buy it?"
"I bought it," she said. She has put me in the position of a dutiful son. If I don't buy it, it would be a treason. My wife bought a cemetery before she got married. Oh no, it's not one piece, it's sixty yuan, which is enough for us. It’s been in the family for generations.”
Liang Xiaoxiao was stunned. This was the first time she had heard of buying sixty cemeteries at once. Did he think this was a steamed bun? I can’t finish it today and will continue to eat it tomorrow.
"You're really good at buying sixty cemeteries at once."
