Literary Master 1978

After understanding Lin Erchun's psychology, Lin Chaoyang also understood his behavior.

The old couple has been busy in the countryside all their lives. It is true that they came to the city to enjoy peace and happiness, but being so idle all the time is not a good thing for either the spirit or the body.

In the past year, both of them had been mentally distracted by their eldest grandson, and they couldn't see anything.

Now that Lin Erchun was "quiet and restless", Lin Chaoyang thought of finding more things for him to do so that the old man could have a busy and fulfilling later life.

"Have you decided how to rent the house?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"How do you rent it? Just rent it like that. Post some small notes on the street and mobilize the neighbors to help." Lin Erchun said casually.

Lin Chaoyang shook his head after hearing this, "You have no clue at all."

"What are the rules for renting a house?"

"Let me ask you, this is a private house, right? How is the rent calculated?"

"According to the 57 standard, our yard is full of tile-roofed houses, and the rent per square meter is 2 cents per month. The square brick floor, plus 7 cents. Glass doors and windows, plus 1 cent. The gray shed roof, plus 1 cent. The main house and the wing room per square meter, per month. They can all rent for 38 cents, but the price of a house is less.

I have measured the house, it is 285 square meters in total, which is 107 yuan and 60 cents a month, and 1,300 yuan a year. Lin Erchun said without blinking.

Lin Chaoyang praised him, "Okay, have you really studied it?"

"What nonsense are you praising me with?"

Lin Chaoyang saw that he was impatient, so he asked: "Have you calculated the annual repair cost of this house? How to calculate depreciation? How much money will be left at the end of the year?"

This question bothered Lin Erchun, but he didn't think about it. He just thought that the house was just cleaned up two years ago. There will definitely be no need to clean up the house in the past few years. Even if it needs to be cleaned up in the future, it will cost dozens of dollars a year at most. bucks.

Seeing the doubt on his face, Lin Chaoyang became proud, "Don't you know this? Let me tell you, a total of 18 million was spent on the renovation of public housing in Yanjing last year, with an average cost of 9 cents per square meter."

Lin Erchun was surprised when he heard this figure. The repair cost per square meter was 9 cents, which was almost three months' rent.

Then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. His house had just been renovated, so he couldn't count it like this.

He expressed his thoughts, and Lin Chaoyang said: "Then we have to cut it off by half on average, right?"

Lin Erchun stopped talking this time. That was more than a month's rent, and he felt distressed.

"Where do you know all this stuff?"

"Newspaper!" Lin Chaoyang replied, and then said to him: "Actually, renting a house is also a good job. How about I buy a few more houses and you are responsible for renting them out?"

Lin Erchun's face was filled with surprise. He didn't expect to hear such words from Lin Chaoyang.

"Is this... possible? Isn't it just speculation?"

"What kind of speculation is this? Now the country has basically liberalized private housing transactions. This year, the city will implement the issue of private property rights during the buzz period in order to prepare for full liberalization in two years.

Anyway, the money you put in the bank earns interest, and the same goes for taking it out to buy a house and earn rent. The price of the house will still increase in the future. "

When Lin Chaoyang said this, Lin Erchun's eyes lit up.

The current real estate market in Yanjing has not yet taken shape, but it does not delay the trend of rising house prices. The most fundamental reason is that the population has expanded too fast in the past two years, with more people and fewer houses.

Lin Erchun didn't understand these things, but he usually chatted with old men and ladies on the street to understand the market, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of the idea of ​​renting out the yard in Mianmian Hutong.

"That's fine."

Seeing that Lin Erchun agreed, Lin Chaoyang said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you 20,000 yuan first. Let's make it clear first that we only want a courtyard house with clear property rights. We will follow the market in terms of rent, and the standards are standards. Now more and more people are coming to work from other places, and the number of private renters has increased a lot.”

"The house hasn't been rented out yet, why should the price increase? Are you still doing business like this?"

"I'm reminding you."

"knew."

"When there are more houses, rent collection, house inspections, check-outs, and repairs will no longer be enough for one person. Then you can hire two more people."

"And what about your mother? Who do you want to hire? Besides, do you want to be a capitalist?"

"You're going up and down, you just hire two or three people, what are you afraid of?"

"We'll talk about it then."

…

The father and son murmured for a long time and almost finalized the plan. Lin Chaoyang wanted to withdraw money from Comrade Erchun, but Lin Erchun stopped him.

"Don't worry, we'll wait until Mianmian Hutong is rented out."

"Okay. By the way, bring me back the couplet at the door."

"knew."

The next day, Lin Erchun's couplets came over. After a lot of trouble, the father and son hung the couplets at the entrance of the courtyard near Xiaoliubukou.

Lin Chaoyang stood at the door and looked around, "Yes, this place has become a restaurant!"

With a busy goal, Comrade Erchun is particularly motivated and plans to implement his plan to rent a house.

Lin Chaoyang privately named this plan the "Public Charter Plan."

My father was the first generation charterer during the reform and opening up, which is quite exciting when I think about it!

Two days later, Lin Chaoyang came to Yanying Factory at the invitation of Chen Huaikai.

After nearly a year of preparation, the "Chess Master" film crew was officially established today.

When Lin Chaoyang arrived, he saw that all the front and backstage staff of the crew had been summoned by Chen Huaikai to the main building of Yan Film Studio.

The background of "Chess Master" is Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War, so tomorrow the entire crew will go to Shanghai for filming.

When he thought about going out tomorrow, Chen Huaikai, who picked up the guide tube again, became a little excited. He stood in front of everyone and delivered an impassioned speech.

“...it must be a lofty and tragic poetic ode against a serious and severe historical background.

Our film must not only be liked by the Chinese people, but also be recognized and loved by peace-loving people abroad. We must strive to bring "Chess Master" to the world film scene.

Let the world see that period of our nation's history and reflect on the deep suffering that the war has brought to the people. "

Chen Huaikai's speech was full of passion, completely opposite to his usual old fox character, and made Lin Chaoyang's blood boil.

After he finished speaking, Lin Chaoyang joked: "Old Chen, okay, he has some potential to be a political commissar."

Chen Huaikai looked proud, "More than thirty years ago, it was us literary and artistic workers who inspired the morale of the people and the military."

While the two were talking, the film crew members dispersed, and Tony Leung ran to Lin Chaoyang's side.

"Mr. Lin!"

"How's it going, Hui Zai? Can you adapt to working with our Yan Film Studio team this time?" Lin Chaoyang asked with concern and a smile.

"I have been in the Mainland for more than a year, and I have already adapted to it. This time we work together again, and I feel more cordial."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and nodded, "That's good!"

Liang Jiahui said with a sincere expression: "Thank you!"

"What do I have to thank you for?"

"Wandao has banned me. If you hadn't recommended me to go back to the mainland to film, I would have no more films to film now."

"I recommend you because you just fit the image of this character. You don't need to worry too much about things on the Bay Island. It's impossible to block this kind of ban for a long time in such a small place. Your movie journey has just begun. "

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's comfort, Liang Jiahui felt warm and moved in his heart.

"I brought you a gift from Xiangjiang, please wait for me."

Liang Jiahui said and ran away. He is now living in the dormitory inside Yanying Factory.

After six or seven minutes, he ran back with a book in his hand and handed it out.

When Lin Chaoyang saw it, it turned out to be "The Death of Van Gogh" published by Ming Pao Publishing House. He took it with a smile and said, "Hui Zai is interested."

"When I bought the book, I asked the people at the bookstore and they said that the sales of your book are very good and it is already the third printing."

Listening to Liang Jiahui's words, Lin Chaoyang opened the book and saw the words "3rd printing".

The first printing of "The Death of Van Gogh" published by Ming Pao Publishing House is 10,000 copies, which proves that the novel should have sold at least 10,000 or more copies.

It has been published for more than four months. Considering the population size and literary atmosphere of Xiangjiang, the sales volume should be very good. Lin Chaoyang began to look forward to the time when the royalties would be settled.

In November, Lin Chaoyang's new novel has entered the final stage, and he spends most of his time on the novel every day.

From time to time, Lin Erchun would go to Xiaoliubukou Hutong to talk to him about the rental situation of the yards in Mianmian Hutong.

Two rooms were rented out today, and another one will be rented out tomorrow...

Nowadays, the per capita housing area in Yanjing City is less than five square meters. Catching up with the wave of educated youth returning to the city, the wave of newborn babies, and the wave of migrant workers in the past few years, the housing prices in Yanjing City have shown a clear upward trend, and the houses have also Worry about no one to rent.

In more than half a month, many tenants have moved in one after another in Mianmian Hutong.

Lin Chaoyang could tell that Comrade Erchun was full of enthusiasm for this job and had recently started looking for houses everywhere.

Lin Chaoyang wanted to get him money again, but Lin Erchun refused again.

"The newly bought house needs to be tidied up. It is difficult to start construction after winter. Besides, it is not easy to rent the house at this time. It will be after the New Year."

The old comrade has a lot of business experience, and Lin Chaoyang can let him do whatever he wants.

Two days later, Xiaodongdong was usually taken care of by Zhang Guiqin during the day, and Lin Chaoyang and his wife took care of him at night. In the evening, Zhang Guiqin handed his grandson to Tao Yushu, and went out in a hurry, and came back during the next day. I carried a pile of fabric and cotton.

"Mom, why did you buy so many things?"

"There are no tickets for this cloth or cotton. I queued up to get it." Zhang Guiqin said happily.

Listening to his mother's words, Lin Chaoyang immediately remembered the news in the newspaper a few days ago, saying that the Ministry of Commerce issued a notice that recently temporarily exempted cloth and cotton stamps nationwide.

When Lin Chaoyang saw the news, he knew that it would definitely trigger a wave of panic buying.

For contemporary people who live in a planned economy all year round, the biggest problem that weighs on them is not income, but tickets.

Now that the Ministry of Commerce has issued a notice temporarily exempting tickets, it is equivalent to telling these people that there is no limit to the supply. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the people.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, few people in Yanjing these days are not short of cloth and cotton, so they must buy more while the supply is open.

What's more, people are still worried about this open supply. Opening up is a good thing. After such a wave, what should we do if there is a shortage of cloth and cotton?

Then you should take advantage of this opportunity to buy more.

Zhang Guiqin was still immersed in the joy of taking advantage, but Lin Chaoyang noticed something was wrong with her expression and touched her forehead.

"Mom, do you have a fever?"
