Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The three days of July, 7, 8 and 9, passed uneventfully for the children. However, Gu Meifang was still quite worried. She prepared the most sumptuous meals and asked Xu Damao to pick them up and drop them off.

Ye Lin also arranged for teachers to supervise the examination, but not in No. 3 Middle School, but in other schools.

On the evening of the 9th, we couldn't avoid talking about the college entrance examination.

"Lao Xu, Sister Fang, and Lou Jie, the difficulty of this year's college entrance examination is not too great, but it is not too difficult. However, Zhidi and the other three should do well. However, due to the incident in June, the university enrollment plan this year may be greatly reduced. This is irreversible. So let the children relax for two days and wait for the answers to the standard questions to come out, estimate the scores carefully, and then discuss filling out the application form."

Xu Damao agreed with this. However, that night, he still chatted with his son Xu Zhidi for a while.

"Jianjian, Dad knows that you like photography and art, but these are not completely skills that can support you to support yourself. Hobbies are just hobbies, Dad has no objection. But it is also more important to learn a skill that can make you more self-reliant. So after the score estimation in a few days, you fill in the university application, I hope you can think twice. Of course, your parents will never interfere with your freedom."

After listening to his father's description, Xu Zhidi said naturally,

"Dad, I've actually thought about it. You're right. Photography and art are just interests. I did well in the exam this time, but I've thought about it and my first choice is Kyoto Institute of Chemical Engineering. I plan to follow my eldest brother's path. If I don't achieve anything, I can still earn a living. If I study math, physics and chemistry well, I won't starve to death. Besides, isn't Aunt Ru still in the Institute of Chemical Engineering? Hehe, I can just ask her to pick a good major for me. My score will definitely be high enough."

"Okay, I'll ask Aunt Ru about the situation tomorrow. You can also check out other schools yourself."

Xu Damao didn't expect his son to have his own unique insights. His original worries were gone, which made him very satisfied. Zhilu's original choice of political science and law suited his personality very well, and now his son-in-law Hu Suian said he wanted to set up a law firm. With a political science and law degree, he would not have to worry about having no food to eat. Rapid economic development cannot do without talents in the political science and law field.

As for Lou Wenting, she said during the meal that her first choice was the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and she should be admitted.

Xu Damao actually found a job this time.

I also called my daughter Xu Nian in the evening and asked her when she would go to Shanghai.

Xu Nian was confused by the question, "Dad, what's the matter? There's nothing going on in Shanghai recently, so I shouldn't go."

"Look, your sister, Wenting, may be going to Shanghai to attend university. If it's convenient for you, buy her an apartment building near the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Of course, if there's no suitable house, forget it. Usually she lives on campus."

"I know. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done. I'm happy to buy a house. Just treat it as an investment. I heard that Pudong, Shanghai is going to be developed. I might as well go to Shanghai and buy some land to keep. Maybe there will be a big surprise."

"Yes, yes, Pudong will definitely be developed. So, you can ask your eldest brother and your second sister-in-law to go to Pudong to buy some land. Then we can talk about building a Lou's Enterprise Building in Pudong later. How about that?"

"Haha, Dad, why not call me Xu? My last name is Xu."

Lou Wenting's application for the Shanghai Theatre Academy suddenly became a business activity for the Xu family.

In early August, when Lou Wenting received the admission letter from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, three days later, Xu Damao, Xu Jun, Xu Nian, Lou Xiao'e, Lou Wenting, Lou Wenming and Fang Xiaoru and many others took a train to Shanghai.

It was still too late, but it was not bad. After a lot of scramble to buy, big and small, they still bought about 1,500 acres of tradable land in Lujiazui. Xu Damao was very satisfied. He didn't have to participate in all the excitement. With these 1,500 acres, the Xu family could also have a way to develop in Shanghai, just waiting for the implementation of policies and regulations.

On the third day, Zeng Zixuan also rushed to Shanghai from Hong Kong. In the name of Xiangjiang Maoyuan Real Estate, she signed a letter of intent to purchase land with Zhoupu Town and Yangjing Town in Pudong, promising to pay the land purchase money within six months.

"Xiao Zeng, what do you think about buying land in these two towns?"

"It's cheap, there's no competition, and I can build warehouses on the land in these two places and just collect rent. It's a one-time investment, and I'll benefit from it for decades."

Zeng Zixuan is worthy of being a student of financial investment.

"Xiao Zeng, why don't we just let the approximately 100-mu piece of land that Xu Nian bought in Lujiazui be developed by Maoyuan in the future, mainly to build Lou's corporate building, office buildings, and hotels."

"Sure, no problem. Shanghai is now the focus of the world, and this investment is definitely a sure win."

After a few days of searching, Xu Damao actually found a two-story house with a garden near Jing'an Temple. It turned out that a Shanghainese family was going to Tokyo and wanted to sell it, but the price was too high. No one took it, so it was not considered a copycat by Xu Damao.

The house covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters, with two floors and nine rooms. The first floor has an open living room, a spiral staircase, and a bathroom. This surprised Xu Damao. There are two large bathrooms on the upper and lower floors. There are six rooms on the second floor, three rooms at a time, and the total usable area is about square meters. The house is surrounded by a wall, a garden, and a garage.

Wow, this is definitely an old residence of a capitalist.

No wonder the asking price was so high. 500,000 is really too much for most people. After two days of negotiations, the deal was finally concluded at 20,000 US dollars plus 400,000 RMB. After two days of negotiations, the price was reduced by 25,000 RMB, which was not a loss. It was enough to cover the travel expenses for everyone on this trip.

This small house is not suitable for Lou Wenting to live alone. After the introduction of a scalper, she spent 13 yuan and found out that she bought a commercial house in Gaorong Community near the college. It was a standard medium-sized house with an area of ​​ square meters and cost yuan. She bought it and immediately asked someone to decorate it. It is estimated that it will be completed in more than two months. This will not affect Lou Wenting's stay in Shanghai.

Hi, after Xu Damao and his party returned to Beijing after staying in Shanghai for more than ten days, they discovered that a coincidence was waiting for them.

It turned out that Xu Zhilu was admitted to the Law Department of Fudan University. How could this be such a coincidence? On the way back to Beijing, Lou Xiao'e was still worried that Lou Wenting was lonely and helpless in Shanghai, and then a boy stepped forward and went there to accompany her.

"Jiajia, why didn't you say you were going to apply to China University of Political Science and Law? How did it become Fudan? Fudan's score is still higher."

"I don't want Wenting to go to Shanghai alone and feel lonely, so I applied to Fudan University as my first choice and East China University of Political Science and Law as my second choice. Shanghai is an international metropolis with many foreign concessions. It will be a gain for me to go and see the largest city in the East. After getting used to the leisurely style of Kyoto, it would be nice to chase the fast pace of Jiangnan." Xu Zhilu's face was a little hot and shy, but there was also confidence on his face, which was very rich.

Finally, he added, "Dad, my brother was admitted to the Materials Science and Engineering major at Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology. Let's go to a Sichuan restaurant for a big meal to celebrate. I really want to drink some beer today."

"Okay, the whole family will have a dinner tomorrow. I'll pick up your grandparents to join us. By the way, Meifang, the two girls didn't say when they would return to Kyoto?"
