Tao Yumo mumbled dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you accompany me? The company is great!"

It's not that she doesn't want to play with her family, it's mainly because she thinks it's unfair.

You are the chairman, and I am also the general manager. We are all bosses. Why should I sacrifice my working time, even though I don’t do anything serious during my working time?

No matter how intense the mental activity was, the task of spending time with his family was ultimately left to Tao Yumo.

Tao Xiwu excitedly found Tao Yumo, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to Sham Shui Po."

Sham Shui Po is the distribution center for the electronics industry in Xiangjiang. Tao Yumo used to popularize science for the two brothers, and they have been fascinated by it for a long time.

Tao Xiwu even asked for the New Year's money that he had accumulated for a long time from Zhao Li this time, and planned to spend it like crazy.

"I think you look like Sham Shui Po! I'll take you around tomorrow first. The scenery near Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay is pretty good. Then we'll go to places like Ocean Park, Central, Victoria Harbor, and Victoria Peak."

Tao Xiwu was a little disappointed, "Then when will we go to Sham Shui Po?"

"After I finish playing with Grandma and Grandma Zhang, I will take you two brothers there."

Hearing this, Tao Xiwu's spirit perked up and he was full of expectations.

The family took off from Yanjing in the morning and had lunch on the plane. It was already afternoon when they arrived in Xiangjiang, and the sky had darkened after they had settled in.

Had a casual dinner and rested for the night.

Early the next morning, Tao Yushu had to go to work. She would be back in the mainland for more than ten days during the Chinese New Year. The company had accumulated a lot of things that she needed to deal with.

Lin Chaoyang packed up the two little guys and sent them to school.

There is no winter vacation in Xiangjiang, only the Lunar New Year holiday, which lasts for one month, and school just starts in these two days.

Tao Yumo took four people, old and young, on a trip, and Tao Yushu specially arranged a Chevrolet Bullet for them to travel more conveniently.

In the evening the family got together again. The two brothers Wen and Wu seemed very excited, and the two old people were also very happy. The only thing they were dissatisfied with was the price of goods in Xiangjiang.

"A bowl of noodles costs ten yuan, and in RMB it costs four yuan. We can just go to a restaurant in Yanjing and have a meal," Zhang Guiqin said.

"Mom, do you still think this is the past? You can't go to a restaurant in Yanjing!

Things are expensive here in Xiangjiang, and wages are also high. The locals earn four to five thousand yuan a month." Lin Chaoyang said.

"Today we met an old sister from Guangdong. She came here in the 1970s and she can still earn 2,000 yuan a month selling vegetables at a stall.

I thought it was quite a lot when I heard it. According to you, two thousand yuan is considered low?"

"It's definitely low. But if there's no burden, there's no problem."

"Why can't I afford it? She said that her son bought a 600-yuan house with a loan the year before last. Now he has not lived in the house. The loan has been repaid for two years. He has to pay back almost 5,000 yuan a month. The whole family must repay it together.

"

"I bought it the year before last, so it's not bad."

Housing prices in Xiangjiang have been rising since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984. Only the stock market crash at the end of 1987 affected the stock market and the property market for most of the following year.

The price of buying a house in 1988 was not cheap, but it was certainly not high.

"She said that she would have to pay back more than 3,000 yuan in interest per month." Zhang Guiqin exclaimed.

Lin Chaoyang said, "Normal."

Most people in Xiangjiang take out loans to finance their housing. In the past two years, the mortgage interest rates of some banks have risen to 18%, and the lower ones are at least 14.5%. The interest rates are frighteningly high.

After he finished explaining, Zhang Guiqin was frightened, "Isn't this just like Zhou Papi? All the money he made in his life was spent on the house, and it was all earned by the house builder?"

"Mom, developers don't make much money, the real money is made by banks and the government——"

Zhang Guiqin nodded in approval upon hearing this, "Capitalism is so dark-hearted!"

Then she remembered something again and asked Lin Chaoyang: "You don't have a loan for this house, right? We can't let the bank make this money."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we bought this house in full, and the bank won't make a penny."

Zhang Guiqin felt a lot relieved after hearing this, and then asked: "How much did you spend on this house?"

Since they bought the house, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu have never raised this issue. The family has heard about the situation of the house and knows that it will not be cheap, so they have not asked the couple about it.

Today, Zhang Guiqin was stimulated by the family situation of compatriots who fled Hong Kong, and couldn't help but ask.

"No more than a few million!" Zhang Guiqin tried her best to use her imagination.

"35 million!" Lin Chaoyang did not sell the truth and told the real number.

Zhang Guiqin stood stunned on the spot, not only her, but also several other people in the living room were dumbfounded.

"3500——Ten thousand?" Zhang Guiqin muttered.

Mother Tao couldn't help but ask: "Hong Kong dollar or RMB?"

"Hong Kong dollar."

Although they had already expected that this house would not be cheap, the price still shocked everyone.

"The villas around here were all built in the 1960s. They were not worth much before. Later, Li Ka-shing bought them here and became the richest man in Hong Kong.

Everyone thinks this place is a cornucopia, and they are rushing to buy it, and the price is getting higher and higher.’

Lin Chaoyang explained, and Zhang Guiqin couldn't help being surprised, "The people of Xiangjiang are really rich!"

Tao Yumo said: "Auntie, it's not the people in Hong Kong who are rich, it's the rich people in Hong Kong who are rich. The villas in Deep Water Bay are among the top luxury houses in Hong Kong. Li Ka-shing, Pao Yukang, and the Kadoorie family are the richest in Hong Kong.

All the rich people live here."

After hearing this, Tao Xiwen couldn't help but run to the balcony and look around.

In these days, information was not as developed as in later generations, but because Lin Chaoyang's family was in Xiangjiang, Tao Xiwen and his family members also knew a lot of information about Xiangjiang.

We are no strangers to the names of wealthy people such as Li Ka-shing and Pao Yugang.

Moreover, after Li Ka-shing became the richest man in Hong Kong in 1986, his wealth increased day by day. In 1988, he was rated as the 98th richest man in the world by the American Fortune magazine.

Ranked 26th among the richest people, even the mainland media has reported a lot.

"Sister-in-law, which house with the lights on is Li Ka-shing's house?"

Tao Yumo went over and pointed to Tao Xiwen. He looked at it for a long time and felt that there was nothing special.
