Chapter 901: Jian Zhengrong Changes His Mind

Old Cricket walked back. "Chairman Zhou, what I just told you, that three-entrance courtyard is for sale."

Zhou Andong looked back at the chubby old man. "What's the price?"

Old Cricket shook his head. "He didn't say a price, just that it's enough to buy two three-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment."

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment. "Are there requirements for the location?"

Old Cricket said, "As long as it's not too bad, he should agree."

Zhou Andong walked over. "Old sir, you have a three-entrance courtyard for sale?"

"Right, right, right!" The chubby old man was all smiles. "Old Cricket told you the conditions, right?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Do you have any requirements for the location of the apartments?"

When the chubby old man heard this, there was a chance. "As long as it's not too remote."

Zhou Andong nodded. "First of all, I want to tell you one thing. The value of a courtyard is much higher than an apartment and will become more and more valuable. If you sell it now, you will lose a lot."

The chubby old man was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Andong to say these words to him. His first reaction was that Zhou Andong didn't want to buy it.

"Whether it's valuable or not is a matter for the future. My grandson is getting married soon, and I just want to exchange it for an apartment for him."

"Fine!"

Zhou Andong was also helpless. In this era, everyone wanted to escape the crowded hutong compounds, and they wouldn't listen to anything else.

"I've said what I should say. Are there any problems with the procedures for your courtyard?"

"No, no!" The chubby old man said spiritedly. "Back then, I went to handle the procedures with Old Cricket, there definitely won't be any problems."

Old Cricket said, "I can testify to this, but his family still has twenty-plus tenants."

Zhou Andong waved his hand; as long as the procedures were fine, everything else was easy to handle.

"Old Cricket, contact Tang Lin and have him come over to talk."

"Good!" Old Cricket was very happy. "I'll contact him tonight, and he can come over tomorrow."

Watching Zhou Andong leave, the chubby old man pulled Old Cricket. "Can't you contact him now? Talk today."

Old Cricket said helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not about being in a hurry!" The chubby old man said, "The time is still early, I just want to talk as soon as possible so my heart can settle."

Old Cricket laughed out loud. "Fine, I'll go make the call now."

"I'll go with you!" The chubby old man followed Old Cricket out.

Zhou Andong turned around the front and back courtyards again. The renovation progress was fast, just as Liu Zhanyong said, there was definitely no problem spending the Spring Festival here.

As for the repair of those few courtyards in the front, the progress was slow, and it would be considered fast if it could be finished next year.

After walking around and chatting for a while, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu left, without waiting for Old Cricket to return.

"Where to now?" On the car, Seeing Jian Qiu checked the time; it was only past ten.

"Nowhere to go!" Zhou Andong tapped his head. "Then let's go to RT-Mart."

At this time, outside RT-Mart, it was still a sea of people. This phenomenon would likely continue until the end of the seven-day event.

Inside RT-Mart, Jian Zhengrong and Zhao Ping were pushing a cart, moving slowly with the crowd.

They came yesterday, but there were too many people, and waiting in line to enter took several hours. It was hot, so they didn't wait.

They came early today, but didn't expect to still miss the first batch of entry, and didn't get in until the second batch!

However, the temperature wasn't high at eight or nine in the morning, so it didn't matter if they waited.

At the same time, Jian Mingfan and Jian Yue were at a brand counter on the second floor. Yesterday Jian Yue took a fancy to a Walkman, which was over a hundred cheaper than the outside mall, but it was out of stock. So, they came again today.

"Comrade, is this Walkman in stock today?" Jian Yue asked, holding the sample machine.

"Yes!" The shopping guide introduced the product very enthusiastically.

They came specifically for this machine, so Seeing Jian Qiu didn't hesitate to pay.

However, the price of over two thousand yuan made her heart ache when she took it out.

But there was no way; women never had resistance to things they liked, and they were quite generous.

Jian Yue held the already packaged machine. "Do I not need to go to the exit to check out?"

"No need!" The shopping guide handed the receipt to Jian Yue. "Keep the receipt well. If someone checks at the exit, you can show it to them. Also, open the product packaging after leaving the mall."

"Okay!"

Jian Yue put the things away and patted Jian Mingfan on the shoulder. "Let's go, let's go downstairs to see if there's anything to eat and buy some."

Jian Mingfan muttered, "Are you a pig? You bought so much yesterday, and you're still buying today, can you finish eating?"

"What did you say?" Jian Yue tilted her head and looked at Jian Mingfan with a smiling expression, which made the kid's heart feel cold. "I said, there's only one day left for the event, so if you want to buy today, buy more."

"Oh!" Jian Yue said "oh" meaningfully.

"Let's go quickly, let's go eat after buying, I'm a bit hungry." Jian Mingfan's heart drummed, and he walked away.

On the first floor, Zhao Ping held a bottle of soy sauce and said happily, "This brand of soy sauce is over a dime cheaper than the outside grocery store. And the refined salt, everywhere else is two dimes or even two and a half dimes a bag, here it's only one dime, directly half price."

Jian Zhengrong looked at the aunties scrambling for the salt piled together. "This salt is indeed cheap."

He didn't know if other things were cheap or not, but the salt was truly cheap. Because not long ago, the state adjusted the price of salt. Vacuum refined salt from well mines increased from 176 yuan per ton to 246 yuan.

Sea and lake vacuum refined salt increased from 224 yuan per ton to 308 yuan. Therefore, the salt sold by this supermarket was at a loss.

It seemed that the supermarket's benefit-to-the-people activity was real and not a gimmick to deceive consumers.

At this time, he had to admire the courage of this supermarket boss. The seven-day benefit-to-the-people activity would likely cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Ping saw Jian Zhengrong in a daze. "Hurry up and take a few more bags, they'll be snatched up in a while."

In just this short while, the over a thousand bags of salt piled there had been snatched to half.

"Ah!" Jian Zhengrong hurriedly joined the panic-buying army, squeezed out a sweat, and snatched three bags of salt.

"You are truly useless!" Zhao Ping scolded mercilessly, then squeezed into the crowd and quickly hugged over ten bags of salt.

Jian Zhengrong looked helpless. "Why are you buying so much salt? You won't be able to finish eating it in two years."

"Buy more when it's cheap!" Zhao Ping put the salt into the shopping cart. "This thing won't go bad."

"Let's go, go over there and take a look!" Zhao Ping waved her hand and directed Jian Zhengrong, who was pushing the shopping cart.

In the crowd, not far from them, Jian Mingfan complained, "Sister, why are you running here? You're not buying."

"Who said I'm not buying!" Jian Yue pushed the shopping cart and moved slowly in the somewhat crowded crowd. "It's so cheap, I'll buy some for Grandpa and Grandma."

"..."

Jian Mingfan looked at Jian Yue speechlessly. "You might as well take it back to the third mother (third aunt), it would make you look filial." ===== CHAPTER 902 =====
