Mixed in 1980

Chapter 170 Professional Coaxing Father-in-law

Zhao Yuanyuan followed Chen Fan curiously and asked, "Are you planning to wait until the housing prices hit the lowest point before buying or speculating in real estate? If you can catch the lowest point, you can really make a lot of money."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the parking lot.

Chen Fan put the luggage into the trunk, freed his hands to rub Zhao Yuanyuan's head, and said three words lightly: "No future!"

Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned. When she came to her senses, she pounced on Chen Fan and was ready to fight him to the death.

But Chen Fan had already gotten into the car and closed the door.

Zhao Yuanyuan went straight to the passenger seat and stretched out her hand to scratch him. Chen Fan said calmly, "Do you make money by buying land or buying a house?"

Zhao Yuanyuan withdrew her hand awkwardly and scratched her head. She felt like she had no future. Chen Fan's appearance was infuriating. "Do you have the money to buy the land?"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and didn't talk to the silly girl.

Zeng Ali couldn't stand it anymore and patted Zhao Yuanyuan from the back seat: "Be quiet, I'm wondering what you've learned in Hong Kong for so long."

“I’m making rapid progress!”

Zhao Yuanyuan murmured unconvincedly that she had not been lazy at work. She had been Zeng Ali's assistant since she joined the Peking University society and had never delayed anything.

After muttering for a while, he glared at Chen Fan unconvincedly: "When we get home later, I will tell my godmother that you bullied me again."

Chen Fan started the car, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Are you childish? You are so old, but you are always thinking about complaining. Even children know that you can't tell tales."

Zhao Yuanyuan laughed and said confidently, "I like it, what's it to you?"

I have a godfather and a godmother who pampers me, and I have two sisters-in-law who pamper me. I can walk sideways or vertically as I want. These are Chen Fan's original words.

Zhao Yuanyuan remembers it all.

The car stopped in front of the Chen family compound. Zhao Yuanyuan got out of the car and ran into the yard. She hugged her godmother and flattered her, and then started to complain.

As expected, Chen Fan got beaten up.

Zhao Yuanyuan held Zhang Xiaoxi in her arms and watched from the side with narrowed eyes: "Xiaoxi, you have to grow up quickly and help grandma beat your uncle."

Zhang Xiaoxi said in a baby voice: "Third Aunt, you bad boy!"

Zhao Yuanyuan was choked. This little girl used to be the closest to her. But she betrayed me after only a few months in Hong Kong? My uncle is the closest to me now?
This won't do. He quickly took out the toys to coax him. From now on, everyone in this family, young or old, will have to stand on his side. That way, he will have more helpers when he needs to deal with Chen Fan.

"Don't teach your child bad things."

Zeng Ali patted Zhao Yuanyuan and took out the Li family's gifts, more than a dozen watch boxes of various sizes, both for men and women: "Chen Fan, come and take a look."

Chen Fan took a quick look and said, "Is the Li family crazy? Giving away so many watches? I can't even bear to buy this brand, Patek Philippe."

"It's not that expensive."

After looking at it again, Zeng Ali couldn't help but be amazed and took out one of the pieces: "This one is for you. It's the most expensive one."

“It seems that the Li family has invested a lot in the real estate market and recovered a lot of losses, otherwise they would not be willing to give such an expensive watch.” Chen Fan took the watch.

He recognized this watch.

When I was rich in my previous life, I studied watches and wore famous watches. This watch is very famous among famous watches, Patek Philippe 1518, which was auctioned for a sky-high price.

Even in the 1980s, it was still expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The key point was that production was limited, so even if you had money you might not be able to buy it.

Apart from this one, all other watches are from Patek Philippe. Although they are not very famous models, the brand itself is not cheap.

However, Chen Fan had no psychological burden in accepting it. The fact that the Li family sent such an expensive gift could only prove one thing: he helped them recover a huge loss.

Putting on the watch directly, Chen Fan said: "There are more than a dozen watches. Give some to your family members and keep the others. It's nice to wear them occasionally."

Zeng Ali nodded, selected a pair for his godfather and godmother, and also a pair for Chen Min and his wife. He picked one each for himself, Qiu'er, and Yuanyuan, and put the rest away and put them directly in the basement across the courtyard.

After a while, Zeng Ali came out again, holding a box in his hand: "Chen Fan, where did you get this? There are so many house deeds from all over the country."

"I used foreign currency to exchange for 350 million last time. I spent 258 million on jade and the rest on houses. These are all my family assets."

Hearing this, Zeng Ali was stunned.

The Hong Kong property market has just collapsed, but he is already buying houses like crazy. The key is, what kind of houses are he buying?

In Dali, where Qiuer and Yuanyuan joined the team.

When the two girls went to the countryside to work as farmers, she was really worried and even took a leave of absence in the first year to take a look. The place was beautiful, but very poor.

You wouldn't buy a house there if you were speculating in real estate, would you? She had just looked through the basement and found that there were several houses in Dali.

In addition, the places listed on the property certificates were all remote, and there were many places whose names she had never even heard of, so she didn't know what Chen Fan was thinking.

After asking the question in his heart, Chen Fan smiled and hugged her in his arms: "Wife, what do you think people will do after they have money?"

“Eat, drink and be merry!”

"That's right, enjoy life and travel around."

"Take a rest, you should go to famous mountains and rivers when you travel. Who would go to these remote areas? It's not enough to go through so much trouble."

Zeng Ali took out a few property certificates and said, "I've never heard of Wuzhen and Pingyao. Have you ever been there? I don't know what you think."

"Famous mountains and rivers are definitely good, but the problem is that you can't buy them. Otherwise, I really want to buy all the mountains and rivers." Chen Fan smiled and said jokingly, "Tourism is not just about famous mountains and rivers. Distinctive ancient buildings can also attract tourists. Wuzhen is a Jiangnan water town, and Pingyao is a historical ancient city. They are very distinctive and will definitely be good in the future."

Zeng Ali rolled her eyes and put away the property certificates. Although she felt that they were unreliable and even a little irrelevant, she still believed in Chen Fan's vision.

What Chen Fan can see may not be invisible to himself.

You should learn from Qiu'er. If you don't understand something, don't interfere. The reason why you don't understand something may be due to the different levels of cognition.

Different cognition leads to a different way of seeing the world.

Xu Jinqiu saw this issue very clearly. If Chen Fan liked to make trouble, just let him do it and just do his own thing first.

First, finish college honestly, and then follow the routine. If Chen Fan wants everything to go smoothly, I will enjoy it with him. If Chen Fan encounters problems, I will be his retreat.

Home, that's what it is.

Zeng Ali also learned to do the same. Since she wanted to start a business, she would work hard to earn more money for her family. As for Chen Fan, let him do it.

This guy just likes to make trouble and he can't be restrained.

After kissing Chen Fan on the lips, Zeng Ali carried the box back to the basement and pestered Chen Fan all night. She returned to her parents' home the next day to help with the move.

The courtyard at No. 15 Yaer Hutong has been renovated, and its decoration is similar to that of the Chen family compound. However, there are more people, so they do not have the luxury of converting two or three rooms into one.

Basically, three rooms were converted into two.

Xu Jinqiu's house is in the central courtyard, with the most houses. All the wing rooms have ear rooms, with one wing room connected to an ear room, and the middle wing room is a separate room.

However, when they came, there was not much to move. Several families had already moved a lot of things one after another. Today was just a ceremony and a chance to start a fire in the new house.

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Zeng, Uncle Zhao, are you free tomorrow?"

Chen Fan took out cigarettes and handed them to everyone. Over the past few months, he would bring Xu Jinqiu here every weekend, and everyone had gotten used to it.

Chen Fan also often drives and takes everyone to go fishing around Beijing, which can be regarded as fulfilling his original promise. Anyway, the two fathers-in-law enjoy it very much.

But the run wasn't far enough.

When he first said he wanted to take his father-in-law on a fishing trip around the country, Chen Fan was already planning it and was going to find a time to do it.

If you can't trick someone into giving you their daughter, your words won't count.

Xu Changqing lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff to dispel the cold air: "It's almost the New Year, the company has already had a holiday, do you have anything to do?"

Chen Fan suggested: "How about going fishing tomorrow?"

Xu Jinqiu happened to be passing by, and upon hearing this, he kicked Chen Fan and said, "Take a break, the river is frozen, where can you go fishing?"

"It's good when it's frozen, so we can go ice fishing."

"It's freezing cold, aren't you afraid of getting cold? Aren't you uncomfortable staying at home?" Xu Jinqiu gritted her teeth. This guy was becoming more and more unreliable.

Some time ago, in order to please my father-in-law, I took them out fishing whenever I had time. They always left early and came back late, which made my mother very dissatisfied.

In my words, my heart has gone wild.

Now, every weekend, the three grown men wait for Chen Fan to come over. As long as the weather is suitable, they think of going out fishing, as if there is a lack of fish at home.

"There are special equipment, so the wind can't blow it away."

Chen Fan moved away from his wife and squatted next to Xu Changqing: "I asked someone to make two sets of wind and snowproof tents. We can put the tents on the ice and make an ice hole so that we can fish in the tent."

"Will this work?" Xu Changqing's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, it will definitely work. People do this abroad. I've even made an alcohol stove. We can have hot pot and fish in the tent at the same time."

"You are the one who knows how to enjoy life. Then go ahead. Lao Zeng, Lao Zhao, are you okay?"

"We must go!" Zeng Hongwen said with a smile.

"We have to go even if the sky falls. I haven't been fishing much because of the snow recently. Tomorrow is a good time to go fishing. Xiaofan, come over early tomorrow." Zhao Dali said.

Xu Jinqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she shook her head and walked away.

When it comes to coaxing his father-in-law, Chen Fan is a professional.

When I told Zeng Ali about this, he smiled bitterly: "Fishermen are easy to please, as long as their desire to fish is satisfied."

Xu Jinqiu nodded.

When Chen Fan first came to his house, he used a set of fishing gear to coax his father-in-law around, so that his father-in-law, who had originally intended to make things difficult for him, did not say a single word.

"How about we go too?"

Xu Jinqiu thought about it and found it quite interesting. Fishing in a tent was something she had never seen or even heard of. She didn't know how Chen Fan came up with this idea.

Chen Fan really put a lot of effort into pleasing his father-in-law.

"Then let's go and have a look. Just treat it as a winter camp and bring Xiaoyi and Xiaoxi along. The two girls have been cooped up at home recently and are feeling bored."
