Chapter 696: Side story two: Zhou Family’s family history
Dark Mode
The history of Zhou family actually started after coming to the capital.
The first dumpling shop after they arrived in the capital. After the dumpling shop, their development went a little out of control.
In the ’80s, their monthly income could range from thousands to tens of thousands. Especially in the late ’80s, the monthly profit alone had ranged from dozen of thousands to two dozen of thousands.
They owed a lot to the bank when they bought the 80,000-square-foot piece of land outside the capital. There was no worry that they couldn’t pay it back.
Since the ’90s, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai have started to apartment building and farmers homes. Specially reserved for renting out.
They left the supervision to Second Brother. The construction and quality were solid. So they didn’t worry about it at all.
A dozen farmer homes had been built one after another. Some weren’t high, only have seven floors. Some had thirteen floors.
Rents in the ’90s weren’t expensive. Still, even when they weren’t expensive, when collecting this many buildings, the rents were limitless.
Building these buildings required a lot of money. Even though the 90s weren’t as pricey as later generations, it was still not cheap.
In ’91, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went to Hainan together.
They had made a fortune over there. They laid a solid economic foundation for the family’s future business.
In ’91, commercial housing was only one thousand or so per meter square. The premium ones were over 2,000. It was only a year’s time. After ’92, it directly skyrocketed to few thousand yuan. Even over five thousand.
What kind of acceleration was this?
Of course, in ’93, it will rise to more than 7,000. However, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn’t stay long. They bought 20 properties in ’91 and held onto them. When it increase in ’92, they simply sold them.
After this transfer, the liquid asset in their hand was oozing with oil.
As for the subsequent big gains, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn’t earn it. After leaving in ’92, they didn’t go to Hainan again.
As for the climate there, Zhou Qing Bai liked it.
So in the ’00, the couple travelled again after the lawsuit with Uncle Wang’s son. They bought a piece of land and built a villa.
The area of this villa wasn’t small. There was a large swimming pool inside. The other scenery was elegant. The most important thing was that the real estate weren’t expensive at this side anymore after experiencing the bubble in the ’90s.
After the establishment of such a villa, it needed to be specially managed by someone. That way, they can go on vacation there when they have free time, especially in winter.
It was due to earning a sum from here, they cleared the previous loan. In the mid-90s, more than a dozen peasant houses were built. The farms in the suburbs of the capital began to be encircled and built.
That piece of land was relatively barren and needed to be nurtured. Second Brother understood these things very well.
These were all left to him to instruct people to do it. He didn’t need to get his hand dirty. Just command. It took a full two years to make that piece of land particularly fertile.
Then chicken farms, pig farms, and even a small lake for fish, shrimp and ducks were built.
In addition, there were cattle, sheep, donkeys, and even horses.
Zhou Qing Bai got Zhou Kai to introduce seven or eight retired soldiers to work here. Not only for these, but also for the safety of the farm.
After the farm was set up, Lin Qing He began to sell vegetables. She simply named it ‘Grandpa Zhou’, and opened a chain of grocery shops.
They were all organic vegetables, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
‘Grandpa Zhou’ either sell nothing or something. If they sell, it must be organic fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and eggs. All of which were produced by conventional farmers.
The 80,000-square-foot farm wasn’t a joke. A lot of soldiers were employed.
Moreover, Lin Qing He had indeed put in a huge investment. She had set up a farmer’s house on the farm, specially for the workers to live in.
There were dormitories for singles. If they were married, the couple can apply to live separately.
There was a cooking Auntie on the dining side of the farm. She was one of the soldier’s mother. Her culinary skills was excellent. After interviewing with Lin Qing He, Lin Qing He let her come over.
The whole farm was very impressive. Every day two or three trucks were needed for delivery.
In winter, the vegetables were in the greenhouse. So there was no worry about not having work.
The large farm on the outskirts was very famous. Later, many people wanted to visit it. The school even organized groups to visit it.
Lin Qing He had no objection. The premise was that they weren’t allowed to casually trample on the farm. However, they were all children and didn’t follow the rules. So Lin Qing He refused to let the visit be free of charge.
As long as they went in, they have to show tickets. What’s more, even paying the ticket fee, they can’t arbitrarily trample around on the farm. Once it is discovered, they can go back wherever they came from. There was no refund.
Farm land acquisition was very successful. Especially when everyone was starting to pursue natural lifestyle.
‘Grandpa Zhou’ chain stores were quite famous in the capital. Basically every day’s goods were sold out.
After the establishment of the farm and the stabilization of the ‘Grandpa Zhou’ industry, the economic situation of Zhou Family was worry-free.
Other businesses were doing well. Later, there were developers who needed to demolish and develop real estate. It happened that one of Zhou Qing Bai’s factory was located there. So he was compensated a lot of money.
Other factories were also eyed on by the developers. Zhou Qing Bai’s wallet gotten bigger. Every time the couple went to a place, they will choose a particularly good location to buy it. Next time they come to travel, they can directly go there to live. There was no need to live in a hotel.
There were really many properties under the couple’s name. And the number of buildings built later was a scarily large amount.
Sons, daughters-in-laws, grandchildren, and of course the youngest daughter, Zhou Mi were all within the scope of inheritance.
However, neither Zhou Qing Bai nor Lin Qing He transferred any property to these younger generation yet.
Even so, these things will be left to the younger generation.
According to Zhou Gui Lai’s words, being their grandchildren was like being born with a golden key.
The starting point of this birth was the end point for many people who had struggled for a lifetime.
But this wasn’t wrong.
A whole set of farmer houses in a place like the capital. What kind of assets it was? Let’s not say struggling for one lifetime, even two or three lifetimes wasn’t enough to achieve it.
However, these younger generation have them right after they were born. Even when it wasn’t transferred their ownership yet. But their grandparents pass, it will be left to them.
The premise was that they must be promising.
In the end, Lin Qing He was still Lin Qing He. She didn’t want to answer the sentence ‘rich can’t last over three generations’. The grandchildren’s education was very strict.
Which resulted in these grandchildren liking grandfather and being afraid of grandmother.
But their grandmother was astounding. For example, when playing games, they like to team up with their grandmother. Killing all sides was quite exhilarating.
