Chapter 692: I've always believed in my brother!
People in the mainland in the 80s and 90s still placed great importance on "friendship" between friends.
Once people encountered any trouble, their first thought wasn't to ponder "how should this be handled according to the regulations," but "can I find an acquaintance to handle this?"
The Zhang Rui father and son had clearly found Liu Muhan's father, and then indirectly contacted Li Zhongfa to plead for them.
Li Zhongfa didn't think there was anything wrong with it either, and immediately hung up the international long-distance call to ask Li Ye.
But it was only after Li Zhongfa asked that he found out that, damn it, the other side had actually offended his in-law! How could he plead for them?
Was Teacher Ke's private money something you could scheme against? Not to mention that Li Ye also mentioned that the house in Zaojunmiao might appreciate to over ten million.
What kind of favor is worth ten million? This is RMB, do you think it's legal tender?
So Li Zhongfa confirmed again, "Xiao Ye, you said that courtyard in Zaojunmiao, can it really be worth over ten million in the future?"
"According to the laws of economics, it will definitely be over ten million."
Li Ye gave a definite answer, because in his previous life, Li Ye had seen a courtyard near Fuyoujie that was similar to his own—both had parking at the door, two courtyards front and back, and the area was almost half the size, yet it was worth 80 million!
Li Zhongfa gasped, then suddenly asked, "Xiao Ye, for the sale of that house of yours in Zaojunmiao, do you have official paperwork?"
Li Ye replied, "Of course I do! If there were no paperwork, there might have been some trouble the year before last. That Zhang Rui returned from studying abroad and wanted to buy back his family's house. The market price at the time should have been 30,000..."
"He's dreaming~"
Li Zhongfa spat, then said, "No wonder your Uncle Liu said that when that family entrusted him to plead for them, they were saying explicitly and implicitly that you had taken a benefit of nearly 100,000, and felt that you should help resolve this matter. So that's how this benefit came about? Then this knot can't be untied, just don't untie it. They still want to buy it back? If we sell them a sapling, is the big tree theirs too? Even the landlords of the old society weren't that ruthless."
"Heh, Grandpa, whoever encounters this, don't they all want to buy it back?"
In his previous life, Li Ye had seen too many "reneging" house sales. It was too normal for people to sell a house and then immediately move back in to occupy the nest before the transfer of ownership was completed, taking advantage of the demolition.
So at the time, he used his collective household registration to do the registration, and also went through Wen Guohua's connections, counting on his brother-in-law to be a witness, so that even if there were disputes in the future, he could remain invincible.
The reason these people don't keep their word is because of a "I lost a lot" mentality at work.
Just Li Kezhang Rui now, he sold the house to Li Ye for 10,000, and now the market price is rapidly approaching 100,000, so he feels Li Ye took advantage of him for nearly 100,000. Then when it's worth tens of millions in the future, wouldn't he feel Li Ye robbed him of tens of millions in wealth?
So Li Zhongfa said this knot simply couldn't be untied; the more expensive the house, the tighter the knot.
"Alright, I know the situation. Don't worry about this matter. Your Uncle Liu is also just being a busybody, meddling in other people's business..."
After understanding the situation, Li Zhongfa started criticizing the "instructor" instead. The two of them had been arguing unpleasantly over a medic in the past, and now their criticism of each other was truly unpleasant to hear.
But in fact, calculating the time, Uncle Liu should have called Grandpa this morning, and then Grandpa immediately called Li Ye.
The friendship between the two old men was clearly extraordinary, yet they just had to be unforgiving with their words, neither looking down on the other.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Grandpa, what is the relationship between that Professor Zhang and Uncle Liu? Maybe he was deceived by someone?"
"He prides himself on being extremely smart and full of bad ideas all day long, how could he be deceived by someone?"
Li Zhongfa cursed again, then said, "That so-called professor once went to the Soviet Union with your Uncle Liu to study for a year, so their relationship is pretty good. But no matter how good their relationship is, can it be better than with me? I must spit on him twice to vent my anger, and he has to listen obediently. Alright, the phone bill is very expensive, hang up!"
"."
Li Zhongfa hung up the phone decisively, probably turning around to find trouble with the instructor.
Li Ye put down the phone and turned around to find Fu Yiruo and Pei Wenhui, these two girls, looking at him with burning eyes.
Li Ye asked strangely, "You two... have something?"
Fu Yiruo nodded obediently, then stretched her neck and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is that house of yours in Zaojunmiao worth over ten million?"
"Hi, your ears are really sharp."
Li Ye smiled helplessly, "I'm just predicting, do you understand? According to economic laws, it's definitely not worth ten million now; selling it for 100,000 would be the limit."
Fu Yiruo immediately said, "Brother, then help me buy one! I have 100,000."
"."
Li Ye smiled in surprise and asked, "Xiao Ruo, are you speculating on houses? I said it's possible to rise to ten million, but I didn't say how long it would take!"
Fu Yiruo reached out and held Li Ye's arm, shook her head and said, "No, Brother, I want to have a home in Beijing. Later, when I miss you, miss my sister, miss my little nephew and little niece, I can go over anytime..."
"Don't say anymore, Xiao Ruo. Brother will send you a house later. Haidian, Dongcheng, Chaoyang... you can pick whatever you want."
Li Ye agreed to Fu Yiruo without a second thought. His own sister wanted to have a home by his side; couldn't he satisfy such a small wish?
But Fu Yiruo said, "Brother, you have a sister-in-law now, I can't just take your things. Anyway, I just happened to save a sum of pocket money, so just help me buy one!"
Li Ye sighed and had to say, "Fine, fine, fine. I'll arrange for someone to look for you later. I'll buy you one within three months, alright?"
"Mm-hmm, everything is up to my brother, hee hee hee hee."
Fu Yiruo beamed with joy, holding Li Ye's arm and shaking it gently, making Li Ye feel like he should just buy her two.
Two houses might not seem like much, but no matter how you toss and turn, they are a retreat and a reliance for the rest of your life, aren't they?
Even if Dou Daxian doesn't sing or act anymore, as long as he has a house, no matter how he tosses and turns, he won't be associated with poverty and downfall in this life.
Pei Wenhui also heard Li Ye's words. She didn't ask Li Ye to buy her a house, but after she left Li Ye's house, she called Li Li Dayong.
"Hey? Li Dayong, oh, today I heard our brother say that the Sihe Academy in Beijing will rise to over ten million in the future!"
Li Li Dayong on the other end of the phone was stunned and said strangely, "Over ten million? A hundred million, right!"
Pei Wenhui was stunned for a moment and said in a soft voice, "I'm talking to you seriously, I'm not joking~"
Li Li Dayong chuckled and said, "That's right! It is serious. My brother told us this several years ago. Didn't I tell you?"
"."
Pei Wenhui sighed helplessly.
She understood now that Li Li Dayong believed in the judgment Li Ye made based on "economic laws," but didn't believe that a house would be worth 100 million in the future.
A person's vision will be limited by the era. Although Li Li Dayong belongs to the smart people of this era, he doesn't have a vision that transcends the era.
When Zhongxin Company was founded, the total investment was only 100 million! You say a broken house is worth 100 million? Then to what extent must inflation inflate?
"Hey, hey? Xiao Hui, are you listening?"
"I'm listening, I'm listening!"
Pei Wenhui said patiently, "Li Dayong, oh, you have to believe your brother's words in the future... Let's buy a few more houses!"
Li Li Dayong was stunned: "I believe it! When did I not believe it? Didn't I buy two? One for my parents later, one for us to live in... Doesn't your brother also have a house in Beijing?"
Although Li Ye was reborn, he didn't intend to be a "big landlord," but since there are good things there, there's no reason not to pick them.
So he took Li Li Dayong, Jin Peng, and Wang Jianqiang to buy some houses at the beginning. The number wasn't large, but everyone bought at least two.
As for Pei Wencong, he also bought one for convenience when staying in Beijing, so Li Li Dayong thought his family didn't lack houses.
Pei Wenhui pursed her lips and whispered, "What about the children? Where will the children live in the future?"
"."
"Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right, I calculated wrong, buy, buy, buy, definitely buy."
Li Li Dayong heard Pei Wenhui's words and immediately agreed without hesitation.
It doesn't matter if he lacks anything, but his children can't lack anything. If he arranges it for his son, shouldn't he also arrange it for his grandson?
Li Ye never expected that he just made a phone call to his grandfather, but it caused the price of Sihe Academy in Beijing to skyrocket again. I wonder if the Zhang Rui father and son will regret it even more after getting the news. ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
It doesn't matter what I lack myself, but my own child cannot go without; since I've arranged it for my son, shouldn't I also arrange it for my grandson?
Li Ye never expected that just by making a phone call to his grandfather, he would cause the prices of courtyard houses in the capital to skyrocket once again; he also wondered if Zhang Rui and his son would regret it even more after hearing the news.
