One good thing about Americans is that they have a relatively free and easy temperament, and they attach great importance to the spirit of contract. (ignoring the national level)

In the next few days, the four of us traveled together and visited Shencheng and the Jiangnan water towns around Shencheng, including Wuzhong Lucheng and Lin'an. We ate, watched, played, took photos, and rented accommodation in water alleys. Feel the feelings of Jiangnan and experience the poetic and picturesque scenery of long streets and ancient alleys while holding a bamboo paper umbrella.

Do your best.

Zhang Yanming found that it is good to travel in a group with foreigners. They don’t have to worry about money matters. Their AA concept is deeply rooted in people’s hearts and they will actively share all expenses equally without affecting their relationship.

Zhang Yanming discovered that Angelina could also keep accounts, write notes about their travels, and clearly record every money they spent. Is this going back and having sex again between the two of them?

But no matter what, that's a private matter.

Even Zhang Yanming has never asked what the relationship between Smith and Angelina is. There is no point in talking about this with Americans.

He just told Li Wulan to treat both of them as independent friends and not to use his own thinking habits on others.

After people return home, they might just wave and go home after getting off the plane.

On October 9th, the four of them ended their trip and returned to Shanghai.

However, this time I did not stay at the Licha Hotel, but at the Samsung Wu Palace. One reason is that it is more convenient, as it is just outside Yingtian Road and the Bund. The other reason is that it is cheaper.

Nowadays, hotels such as Licha, Garden, Hilton, and Jinjiang all cost more than 1,500 yuan a night, and Wu Palace is half the price. Zhang Yanming doesn’t have much money left, so he has to save money.

The next step is to help Smith buy a house. After buying the house, a few people will set off to the capital, and then to the Ruhr.

Smith's $250,000 purchase price for the house has been secured.

I don’t know where they got the money from. Besides, it has nothing to do with Zhang Yanming, so it’s impossible to ask.

The money belongs to two people, and the property will also be jointly owned by two people. This is what Smith clearly expressed.

Zhang Yanming thought, maybe, these two people will actually get married and start a family in the future. Not necessarily.

Zhang Yanming’s goal is the rose garden.

As the last port of call for export housing, Rose Garden fell into an unfavorable situation as soon as it appeared. It was seriously unsalable, and its ultra-low occupancy rate affected the feelings of home buyers. It was simply a vicious circle.

Because it was built in Pudong, which was in low popularity at this time, there was nothing here except a TV tower, and even the river beach was still deserted.

I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong. Although this sentence originated in the early 1990s, it can still be seen as a true portrayal of Shanghai people's attitude towards Pudong. Even when Pudong developed greatly later, it was no longer Not much has changed.

Not only has it not changed, but its influence has grown and grown. It is no longer limited to locals, but outsiders have also been brainwashed by this sentence.

By 2001, the average housing price here will reach 3,000, and it will not really take off until 2008.

But Zhang Yanming clearly knows what Pudong will look like in the future. He also knows Rose Garden’s sales plan for this year and its housing price changes in the next few years.

Because in all subsequent articles related to Shencheng Real Estate, Gubei and here will be constantly mentioned.

This is a microcosm of a period of history: the short-lived life of export housing.

"Don't give me the money, dear Smith, this is not buying stocks. I will find some connections in the next time. You know, Chinese people pay attention to this, just like those lobbying companies in your country.

I will get you a friendly price, and I guarantee the profits here. Don't worry, I won't sign an agreement with you if you don't have confidence. Don't worry, I'm sure of everything.

Wait until I get things straightened out, and then you go and sign the contract in person to make the transaction. I guarantee that the purchase price is lower than the price notified to you. I will do a good job. After all, I will also get a share of the profit, otherwise I will compensate you. A lot of money."

Throughout the entire process of dealing with Smith, Zhang Yanming was able to gain their trust because of this relationship of interest.

interests, coupled with his own investment, and then guaranteed by an agreement. This is because Smith is not deeply involved in the world and does not know much about China. If he replaces Zhang Yanming, he may not be able to succeed.

However, this matter itself was an unexpected surprise, and it had no impact on Zhang Yanming, so he was very relaxed. Maybe this indifferent attitude also played some role in the whole process.

Although Li Wulan didn't go to school much, she was not stupid. Over this period of time, she was able to communicate briefly with Shi An, an American, and could understand some simple words.

So next, Li Wulan and Angelina Smith went shopping to see the scenery, and Zhang Yanming ran to "match each other."

Yes, it’s the counter-attack that was popular throughout the 1990s, also known as the white wolf with empty gloves, using the information they have to make money. As information becomes more and more developed, this industry slowly disappears.

He took his exchange fund account certificate and proof of funds amounting to 200,000 meters, took a boat across the river, and found the address.

No. 1097 Pudong Avenue, Qiongdao Zhujiang Industrial.

In this era, there was no large, professional and glossy sales office exhibition hall like that of later ones, but there was already a prototype of a sales office.

Before 1996, the houses were all existing houses, especially those sold for export, and all of them were well-decorated existing houses. However, now there is already the concept of off-plan properties, and the trend of selling concept houses off-plan is about to take off, and developers will become A powerful means of deceiving people.

But none of this has anything to do with Zhang Yanming.

"Hello, welcome to Zhujiang Industrial."

The girl at the front desk was very professional. Zhang Yanming nodded to her: "I'll talk to your manager, who has the final say here."

In this era, the receptionist girl is not a dispensable beauty in the company, let alone a low-income earner. Nowadays, those who can work as receptionists in large companies are all beautiful college students, and they are still in high-end professions.

"Excuse me sir, what's the matter with you?"

"When buying a house, I must be buying a house from you."

"Sir, our house is for export and we need foreign exchange."

"Where is the manager? How about I go in by myself?"

The front desk looked at Zhang Yanming, then made a call. After saying a few words, he put down the phone and stretched out his hand to signal: "This way, sir."

The house for sale is on the first floor, and the office is on the second floor. The office area is not large, and the developer does not need a large office space.

"This is our Mr. Li. This gentleman said he wants to buy a house."
