Chapter 1160 Dad doesn't want to retire
This East Hampton area can be said to be a place where wealthy people gather. Apart from the group of fishermen who lived here at the earliest, others have long been driven out of this area. Without anything else, the high housing prices here are enough to make those people unable to stand it.
Drive along the expressway, you can see tall antique buildings hidden in the lush green forests on both sides of the road, and some villas look exactly like the castles of ancient Europe. Candice, who knows a lot about it, gives you an explanation. The reason for this is because a tycoon of the Rockefeller family likes the design of ancient castles in Europe. Later, he went to Europe specifically to acquire a batch of wall bricks needed for the construction of the walls of abandoned European castles, and then transported these wall bricks to the United States piece by piece, and built such a purely imitated European castle building in the United States. Later, this castle became a place where the rich man showed off his wealth like other rich men in the United States.
Such an ancient castle also stimulated many other American rich people. At that time, it happened to be the end of World War II, and the United States happened to be in its most golden development era.
So the American rich people sent people to Europe to secretly dig the castles. Like the Rockefeller rich people, they bought the dilapidated contracts, then demolished them, and transported them back to the United States one by one to build their own castles.
At that time, Europe was in a state of inaction. Because World War II was so poor that they almost even had their pants to be blown off. The Americans were their saviors at that time, so they didn't even dare to fart on the actions of these American rich people, so they could only let the Americans do whatever they wanted.
So many ancient castles were demolished by Americans back then, and these ancient castles now stand on the east coast of the United States, including New Jersey and the East Hampton area in New York where they are now.
Especially in the East Hampton area, it can be said that it has the largest number of ancient castles in the United States. Moreover, except for the recent years, these ancient castles are all real people from the past.
Now, no one is willing to sell these ancient castles in the East Hampton area. It is not because no one buys them, but because the owner of the castle does not want to sell them at all. Unless the family cannot afford the expensive property tax, no one is willing to sell these ancient castles easily. After all, in recent years, with the recovery of the US real estate industry, the prices of these ancient castles have also been rising.
These ancient castles are a very good product for preserving and increasing the value of property. Moreover, because of the scarcity of this product, the prices of this real estate in the United States will only increase and increase in the future. Although the United States will frequently encounter economic crises again, those economic crises are just crises for the people. For those real top rich people, such crises are not their business at all. Instead, they are a good opportunity for them to re-dividate the wealth of ordinary people. Therefore, such truly high-end value-preserving products will only increase and increase in the future.
Now, according to Jin Muchen's understanding, the price of the castle here starts for more than 100 million US dollars. Today, what he rented is an ancient castle. This ancient castle is said to be left by the Morgan family back then. However, because there are not many families here to live, it has been changed to a high-end resort hotel. Jin Muchen's purchase of the hotel is the best view of the hotel, and this room occupies the entire upper floor of the castle.
The design of the top floor of this castle is a bit similar to that of Jin Muchen's home. Half of it is a room and generally an aerial garden. The only difference is that the aerial garden is relatively large. Not only does it have a garden, but there is also a swimming pool in the middle of the garden, and there is a small spa pool next to it. In this pool, you can take a hot bath while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the distance.
The family spent two days here, and then reluctantly returned to New York. As soon as they returned to their home in New York, a few women went to prepare dinner. Jin Muchen also took a tablet and kept checking the strategies. Since he moved out of Flushing, he hasn't been back for a while. I don't know if there are any new stores in Flushing. This time, I happened to check to see if there are many good reviews. I'd better take my parents over to check tomorrow.
But not long after sitting down on this side, my dad walked to him and said to him: "Let's go to the roof of the building to smoke a cigarette."
Jin Muchen knew that his father must have something to say to him, so he put down the tablet and followed his father to the garden upstairs. He found a recliner and sat down. He handed him a cigarette, then lit one for himself. After taking a sip, he heard his father ask.
"Son, what's the current project of the scientific research institute you mentioned last time? If you have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let's go and have a look first. You can just put it on the fun. Anyway, your mother and I have time recently, and we plan to stay here for a long time."
Unexpectedly, my dad didn't forget the scientific research institute when he came on vacation. Fortunately, Jin Muchen was prepared, so he said to his dad: "Don't worry about the project of that scientific research institute. I recently went to their place. Their femoral head and joint replacement projects are basically well-known. Now they have been promoted and launched in several hospitals in Los Angeles. There are also the production process and processes of knee replacements. They have basically overcome them. Recently, they just plan to take them to Los Angeles for promotion. I told them about your desire to represent these two products. They are also very interested. They also plan to arrange several on-site surgeries for you to see so that you can understand the entire process of this surgery and the recovery effect of successor patients, etc. Anyway, you don't have to worry, I have the final say. "
After Jin Muchen said this, his father was relieved. He took a cigarette and then vomited it out again. Seeing his father's appearance, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and then asked.
"What's wrong with you? Dad, I think you seem to be under a lot of pressure. Why are there any problems with your business in China?"
"Oh, there is no problem, it's just that you are a little confused about your future! You have been abroad recently and may not know the domestic economic environment. Anyway, the domestic economic environment this year is not very good. Many industrial projects are de-capacity, saying that they are de-capacity, but in fact they are closing some excess factories. Due to the abnormally high prices of real estate, the domestic working capital is now seriously insufficient and the domestic consumption capacity is seriously insufficient, which has led to the operational difficulties of all walks of life. The high-speed rail construction project that my uncle and I contracted was not bad in the past two years. The period we contracted was already basic at the beginning of this year.
After the construction is completed, it is quite safe to work for the country, because they will not suppress your project payment. But after completing this project, our life is not easy. Because we were looking for such a project, we couldn't find it at all. There were several places nearby that also wanted to build high-speed rail. We also tried to participate in the bidding, but in the end we didn't win the bid. In this way, we had no work for more than half a year, and the engineering team was disbanded. Now I am also looking for new projects and want to continue working for a few years. After all, I am only in my fifties and I don't want to retire so early. So I remembered the scientific research institute you mentioned to me at the beginning of this year?"
After my father and Jin Muchen said this, Jin Muchen understood. He had seen many people online that in the past year, China's domestic economic environment has not been good, and many real economies cannot continue to do so, and they have closed down one after another. On the contrary, the real estate industry is very booming.
At that time, many people were scolding, saying that these real estate companies were harming the country and the people and kidnapping China's economy. At that time, he had no particularly profound experience, but now seeing his father's livelihood and the impact has also been affected, he has personally experienced the disadvantages of the downturn in China's economy.
Moreover, my father is affiliated with Shuguang Construction Company, which was opened by Wang Xueming. Now, according to my father, even Shuguang Construction cannot take on projects, let alone these small contractors affiliated with Shuguang Construction?
When my father joined Shuguang Construction as the vice president, but Wang Xueming was allowed to see Jin Muchen's face. But later, my father contracted a small project early and went out to work alone, and made a lot of money. But now it is an era when everyone has no food to eat, so life on both sides is not easy.
Although my dad can still go back to Shuguang Construction to be a vice president, continue to receive his salary, and stay until retirement, my dad is not that kind of person at all. As he just said, he is only in his fifties and he wants to work for a few more years. He doesn't want to retire so early and retire at home.
"Dad, don't worry, dad. I'll take you over tomorrow. We will postpone our trip for the next few days for a few days. Let's take a look at this research institute first."
Jin Muchen smiled and looked at his father and said, "My father was happy when he heard this."
