Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 129 Fatty
Hu Ge and Eddie Peng are the same age and are almost 25 now.

Both of them became famous last year with "Chinese Paladin" and are now the biggest stars in the crew.

In comparison, 19-year-old Liu Shishi has only been in the industry for two years. The Chinese Paladin 3, which made her widely popular, was not released until 09, and Scarlet Heart was not released until five years later. She currently has no representative works and her status is average.

After all, we are all young people, so we will become familiar with each other after chatting for a while.

There was no room in the car, so Xuexue spread out a small table and stools for the picnic on the lawn next to the car.

Everyone gathered together talking and laughing.

Several people even returned to their cars to get other food.

The filming of this drama will continue in Hengdian for more than a month without changing the location, with the aim of finishing the scenes of the two male protagonists as soon as possible.

Hu Ge and Eddie Peng are both very popular figures now, with roles coming one after another.

Hu Ge currently still has "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his hands.

Eddie Peng is also currently filming a modern drama called "Genes Determine My Love for You". Xia An vaguely remembers that he seemed to have won an award in Taiwan Province for this drama.

The two of them have to meet their schedule.

Xia An couldn't help but sigh when she saw the scars on Hu Ge's face that had just healed.

It was because of driving to a performance that Hu Ge had the nationally famous car accident two months ago.

So when Xia An knew yesterday that they were particularly caring towards Xuexue, she didn't think anything else.

Hu Ge's agent died in a car accident.

Xia An didn't play the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but he had watched the TV series. However, unlike most people, he didn't fall in love with the pure descendants of Nuwa at first sight. He didn't have any feelings.

In comparison, he still prefers The Legend of the New White Snake.

Maybe it was influenced by Miss Yuzu.

Since childhood, Xia An has loved the graceful style of White Snake and is not interested in cute styles.

Xia An had no deep impression of Hu Ge's dramas, but she still remembered clearly that he had donated dozens of Hope Primary Schools.

Although the donation was made in the name of a deceased agent, it is still a good deed.

Xia An silently took note of this.

Thinking that there would be a chance to bring him to be Lin Jiajia's client in the future, it would be a good thing.

Charitable organizations also need influence.

These people were not arrogant. One table was not enough and their assistants had no place to eat. Peng Yuyan, who had a more cheerful personality, asked for another table so that they could eat together side by side.

In his previous life, Xia An attended many dinner parties in the entertainment industry, and he associated with everyone, and all the guests were real big names.

Now, Xia An finds it quite interesting.

By chance, I had dinner with an artist for the first time in my life, and it was as a fake assistant.

They can have a private meal while the crew is very busy.

The assistant director held the chopsticks and didn't even take two bites of the lunch box before loudly arranging for people to continue contacting the extras, saying that there would be a big scene in the afternoon.

Liu Shishi held the bowl and chopsticks, folded her legs, and asked politely, "Is it too late to find extras now?"

She has only been in the industry for a short time and has a gentle personality, so she doesn't understand many things yet.

Eddie Peng travels between mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is not as familiar with the local business as Hu Ge.

Hu Ge said: "Normally it's impossible to find people on the spot, but it won't be too far in advance. Extras have more notices, so we usually contact them the day before, and the crew will send a car to pick us up and take a headcount.

"But extras also want to take on roles in big productions. They agree to this first, but if a better schedule comes along, it's inevitable that they'll cancel their appointment. It happens all the time."

Peng Yuyan continued, "Yes, no matter what industry you are in, you are dealing with people, and logistics is the busiest part."

He threw down the second big bone and praised Xia An's craftsmanship.

Xia An smiled but said nothing.

Damn it, you ate all the ribs I stewed for Xiaoyouzi.

When Zuo You saw Xia An winking at her, she couldn't help but feel sweet and funny.

It was obvious that he was signaling her to grab the bone and eat it.

"Really? It's not a puppy..."

Xuexue didn't care and took over Xia An's job.

He scooped up a large piece of pork ribs, stood up and put it into Zuo You's bowl.

This made everyone laugh.

Zuo You blushed immediately, as if she was protecting her food.

Liu Shishi originally only picked up vegetarian food, but now she picked up a piece of meat and took the initiative to help Xiao Youzi resolve the embarrassment.

Hu Ge appeared to be smiling and talking to everyone, but in fact he had just recovered and was in a bad mood, so he didn't eat much.

He looked at Xia An and asked, "Where in the Northeast are you from? The food is very authentic."

Xia An took a sip of water and said with a smile, "Sister Youzi and I are from the same hometown."

Hu Ge looked at Zuo You in surprise. "Really? The lines are fine, but off-camera, we couldn't detect your accent. We thought you were from somewhere in the South."

Liu Shishi also looked at Xiao Youzi curiously: "Songjiang Province? The Mandarin there is pretty standard, but there are also accents."

She was born and raised in Yanjing and graduated from Beijing Dance Academy.

Since they met two days ago, Liu Shishi felt that Zuo You looked familiar.

Zuo You told them her origin.

Hu Ge exclaimed in surprise.

But it is also normal, not regional discrimination.

The most obvious feature of the Donghai Province accent is that it cannot distinguish between flat and retroflex tongue.

Zuo You has been practicing his tongue by following the news broadcast since he was young and his results are very good.

Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said in surprise, "I remember you were the third place in this year's Taoli Cup!"

Zuo You smiled subtly and nodded to indicate that it was correct.

Professional dancers are in high demand in the acting industry. They are hardworking and have top-notch professional qualities.

Hu Ge immediately said that if he encountered a good role in the future, he would definitely recommend it to the director for her.

At this time, Eddie Peng also casually asked the question that others had always wanted to ask.

"It seems like your family is in business. Have you always wanted to be an actor since you were a kid?"

coming.

Zuo You glanced at Xia An out of the corner of his eye.

Xia An had already reminded her of this question, and someone would definitely ask it.

When asked, don't be silly and say everything.

A sense of mystery is the foundation of character creation.

How many young and handsome men and women in later generations, when they first entered the circle, established the image of rich second-generations?
The son of a certain group, the princess of a certain multinational consortium.

It’s not that there aren’t some genuine rich second-generations who come to the entertainment industry to play, but they are very few.

The rest is just to mix more resources.

Zuo You said: "My father now runs a supermarket and does small business, and my mother is in charge of finance."

Is there any lie?

Every word is true.

Coupled with a harmless and sincere smile.

Come on, let the imagination begin.

Are the two assistants actually sitting here?
Is the RV parked behind that one?

As luck would have it, Xia An's cell phone rang.

He took a look, smiled, stood up, leaned close to Zuo You's ear, and asked for leave.

"There's some progress on the land for the hotel. Should I go take a look?"

Zuo You nodded, and Xia An bowed to everyone and left.

Hey!
The land where the hotel is?

Build the hotel yourself?

Eddie Peng has not yet learned the reservedness of mainlanders.

I immediately asked, "Are you also building a hotel?"

Zuo You was in character for half a second, and didn't answer directly, but just said:
“I want to build one here.”

I thought: He's not lying, is he? Yeah, he said he wanted to build it, so build it for me.

The shock ended with Hu Ge jokingly saying, "Are you still in need of an assistant?" and Xuexue glaring at him angrily.
-
Xia An didn't lie.

There really is a plan for that piece of land.

The call was from the real estate agent guy from yesterday.

He said that the landlord contacted him and wanted to talk to the customer who wanted to rent the entire house yesterday.

Xia An ran out of the film and television city, waved and got on a... rickshaw.

This is a service offered by the town for the tourist season.

A business model that seems to be inhumane in other places is not acceptable in Shanghai, but it is very reasonable here.

Pulling a cart does not refer to making a living from this.

Ordinary people can't pull it, they are just extras.

The performance is about pulling a rickshaw.

I am very strong and can occasionally earn some money to supplement the family income.

There was a taxi nearby that cost five yuan, but Xia An didn't get in.

Rickshaw thirty.

Since they set up the stall, it is to make money, and you can just enjoy the experience.

So he didn't quite understand the mentality of those who would curse those who paid porters to carry their things up the mountain online in later generations?
There are no customers, they just stand there with two carrying poles as NPCs, and I don’t see you scanning the code to pay the viewing fee.

It's because if I really do that, those people will definitely criticize me for getting something for nothing, which is shameful.

When the word "moral kidnapping" was invented, it was not a positive word.

Otherwise, why not call it a moral hug or a moral high ground?
The strong man walked very fast. When Mr. Xia arrived at the place, he entered the agency at the same time as an old lady who got off the bus.

"What a coincidence, you two came together."

The intermediary young man introduced Xia An and the old lady to each other.

Only then did Xia An realize that the hunched grandmother in front of him was the real landlord.

He was wearing a flowered shirt and black cloth shoes, his hair was half white, and he looked very old.

Just as Xia An was about to reach out to greet the old lady, she was pulled to sit on a chair.

The old lady frowned and spoke to him in a long, babble.

He looked anxious and his eyes were burning.

After hearing this, Xia An was stunned.

He didn't understand a word.

In the south, the dialect varies from place to place, especially in Fujian and Zhejiang.

The old lady was obviously from the countryside. It wasn't that her Mandarin wasn't fluent; she just couldn't speak it. The real estate agent placed two paper cups in front of them and said to Xia An with a smile, "Grandma said her father passed away, and she's all alone in the mountains, so she's anxious to rent it out for some money.

It’s too inconvenient to go up and down the mountain on weekdays, so she wants to live in a nursing home.”

The old lady nodded repeatedly and chattered something.

The young man told Xia An, "She said she started walking down the mountain at daybreak, first went to the village and took a tractor to town, and then took the bus."

The young man added, "It's not far, actually. About forty miles at most. But it's hard to walk up the mountain, and there's no car."

Pitiful.

That's strange too.

Xia An asked, "Eight shops, with such a huge annual rent, why don't you just move down the mountain?"

The old lady chattered away.

The translator said: "The disease has been cured."

The old lady's father was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago, and the father and daughter are the only ones in the family who rely on each other.

I went to the capital and then to Shanghai.

Various chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and imported drugs.

Several surgeries.

Hundreds of thousands are gone.

The old lady: "Gibberish."

Translation: "The two leases that expired this year are no longer available. She has no money left."

Xia An asked, "The nursing home doesn't make much money a month, right?"

old lady…

After hearing this, the translator was stunned and laughed in surprise.

Said to Xia An: "Grandma said she wants to build a nursing home."

Xia Yu: "..."

As shocked as the young man, he gave the old lady a thumbs-up.

This is an ambitious grandmother.

The old lady and the translator said, "A few thousand words will be omitted here."

The old lady didn't dare to live in a public nursing home. She had little knowledge and had lived in the mountains all her life. In the past two years, she heard from others that caregivers were abusing the elderly, and she became even more afraid.

There are many lonely elderly people like her in the surrounding area, and she wants to build one for herself.

Xia An understood.

In his previous life, he had a superficial understanding of the elderly care industry.

To put it bluntly, there is no elderly care industry in China, or to say that the elderly care industry in this era, before it completely enters the aging stage by 2030, is a false proposition.

The traditional Chinese concept is to raise children to provide for old age.

In today's society, sending your parents to a nursing home is considered unfilial and disloyal. Most of the people living in nursing homes are childless and lonely elderly people.

As young people face increasing pressure, parents are reluctant to burden their children and always say that they will move into a nursing home when they get old.

But can we really just ignore it?

Unrealistic.

Not to mention that 99% of the elderly need financial support from their children. Even if their children don't take care of them, the caregivers in nursing homes are also workers. People have close relationships, and work involves interests.

It is very common for those who really don't care to be bullied and ignored.

Old children, there is no difference between old people and children.

They have poor resistance and, like kittens and puppies, require very careful care and attention.

There are places that are purely charitable, but they are too few.

There are many kind-hearted people, but they just radiate their love without having enough to eat.

then…

and so.

With the rapid economic growth in recent years, the elderly care industry has been led by green elderly care and tourism elderly care.

This is for health care.

It's commercial real estate and tourism real estate that are selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.

Fire a shot and move to another place.

The old lady didn't want to make it too luxurious, nor was she picky about the location. She just wanted to find a large courtyard in the countryside, renovate it, and make it big enough for people to live in. Then the older brothers and sisters could bask in the sun and chat, and they would be able to live out their days.

Xia An said with emotion: "Please give me a price. I am planning to buy it."

The old lady gestured with a clap.

"Five million?"

Xia An was surprised, but he was not wrong.

Just five hundred thousand.

"That's too cheap! If you rent out eight stores normally, it would cost at least a million a year. It's not that I don't want to take advantage of this, but... I can see it. Tell me, what's the problem behind this?"

Xia An immediately saw through the hesitation hidden behind the old lady's expression.

The old lady's facial features were squeezed together. Before she spoke, she grabbed Xia An's arm, as if she was afraid that he would be scared away.

“￥#&…”

“Agricultural land?!”

Xia An looked at her and then at the intermediary guy.

He laughed bitterly and said, "Oh my goodness, this is an illegal construction and illegal operation?"

The old lady was silent and listless, and the young agent was shocked because he didn't know about this before.

Xia An said with a smile, "In other words, whether you build a nursing home or not is a matter of putting it aside for now. Has someone checked out this piece of land?"

No one cared about it before. In many places, people built a few houses on the agricultural land to form the ground for construction and then took it out for business.

In fact, the five certificates are incomplete and the nature of the land has not changed.

It's impossible to get a business license.

Unless the main business is still in the agricultural field, such as ranches, farm stays, and scenic spots.

Otherwise, it is illegal operation and you will be fined if caught.

Xia An looked at the old lady again.

What’s also unreasonable is that this could have been concealed and the rent could have continued to be collected.

Apparently, someone else was eyeing the land.

Either the town government or other businessmen.

Xia An thought about it for a moment and had some idea.

He clearly remembers that when he was attracted to invest here in 2015, the land being auctioned had already completed the procedures for construction land.

But the government never checked when it took the land from the people.

Judging from the timing, the town government should have already come up with a planning plan for the second phase of Hengdian.

嗏

Xia An made it clear: "How many years of rent are left? How much is the fine?"

The old lady and the intermediary young man looked at Xia An in surprise.

Xia An waved his hand: "Let's talk honestly. If I can accept it, I'll take it."

The old lady then realized that she had met a smart man who knew everything.

Sincerely said that the land rent still has 62 years to pay, and due to years of illegal operation, a fine of yuan was imposed.

Xia An did some mental calculations...

Let’s do the math again…

Then he said, "Why don't you scrape together some money and hand it over?"

He didn't say what came next.

Just hand it in and leave it there without having to manage it.

Waiting for demolition and the release of the overall plan.

Waiting for huge levies!

The old lady heard what was said, but Xia An didn't want the intermediary boy to hear it.

This is a piece of fat!
The old lady sighed and said only three words.

This time Xia An understood.

"I am old."

When will the land be expropriated?

Five years? Seven years?
I'm old and I don't know how long I have to wait.

Xia An looked at the old lady deeply.

After the old lady sighed, she raised her old eyes and looked at him.

Xia An was happy.

He asked, "Then let's change the way we talk."

The old lady nodded.

Xia An asked:
“How many acres in total?

“The remaining years will be contracted as a whole, minus the amount of fines.

"How much are you going to ask for?"

The old lady fell into deep thought.

Xia An took a sip of water calmly and waited quietly.

He finally realized that this old lady was not as simple as she seemed, but was actually a rare and shrewd person.

When he saw the old lady glance at the intermediary boy, he immediately understood that the other party wanted to talk to him alone afterwards.

But it's pointless.

As a young man working in this field, no matter how dumb he is, he will understand what is going on.

As soon as he walked out of this door, Xia An was sure that he would immediately contact the financial sponsor he knew and try to grab a piece of the meat.

The eight storefronts were lined up in a row, forming a straight and long strip.

Agricultural land is not divided this way.

The old lady must have more land than this.

Xia An tapped his fingers rhythmically on his knees.

Thinking in my mind...

Who should I borrow some money from?
