Chapter 140 Loan Repayment
"boom!"
45 Baker Street,
The four members of the Winster family clinked glasses together, and the fruity aroma of champagne overflowed.
The fragrant smell permeated the whole house, and the whole family cheered for Tu Fu's dazzling performance today.
Although it was a duel between top universities, the specific information was not leaked much.
But everyone in Gottinghagen knows that the freshmen of the University of Michigan are overwhelming Columbia University. This is a rare event in these years, and it has gradually spread.
Cooked by candlelight and hot pot, tasting familiar delicacies and feeling the warmth of home, Tufu has never felt so happy as he is now.
He was very fortunate to come to Winster's family. There was a family of enlightened adoptive parents who were willing to raise him and provide him with the conditions to study. In this era of indifferent human feelings, it is by no means an easy task.
"Auntie, how is the business of the hotpot restaurant going?"
Tu Fu casually asked Aunt Anfeier, who had a smile on her face, "Don't worry, the business is really good. I have hired three kitchens, five waiters and one accountant, and everything looks like the best. direction to go.
In fact, since the first day of business, it has accumulated a lot of customers, and those gentlemen who have never tasted such a delicious hot pot almost bit off their tongues. "
An Feier described it in an exaggerated tone.
For the Baiya people who have always only eaten pure meat, the appearance of hot pot is simply a gift from God.
They finally don't have to endure the simple and outrageous meat eating method. Only the guests who have tasted the hot pot know that the rough meat eating method in the past is a desecration of food.
"Children, why don't you guess how much money we have earned minus the rent, mortgage, raw materials, and labor expenses from the opening to today?"
"Is there a hundred crowns?"
Sophie made a cautious guess.
"Sophie, quickly put away your poor imagination, this answer will make people laugh." Ethan despised his daughter with a disdainful tone, which caused Sophie to curl her lips in dissatisfaction.
"It's five hundred crowns, which means we can pay off all the mortgages in just one year."
This huge number even surprised Tu Fu. He knew that the hot pot industry was a blue ocean field, and he could definitely make money.
Five hundred crowns!
This is the salary of two ordinary workers for one year.
I have earned so much in about a month, it is simply greedy.
Of course, there are huge risks in running an industry that has never existed before. The Winsters poured all their money into it, even operating in real estate and hot pot restaurants.
As long as one side collapses, all efforts will be in vain, and most people don't have such courage.
"When it comes to mortgages, I won a lot of money from the Challenge Cup, which is enough to cover subsequent bank loans."
Tu Fu said casually that after today's competition, the Ministry of Education transferred all the prize money to the public account of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Michigan.
After Tufu asked for money like a debt collector, Professor Kane was overwhelmed and immediately transferred his 10,000 kroner to his account.
Even in Göttinghagen, Tu Fu is a moderately rich man.
If he is willing to go to a small city and find a suitable wife after buying a house, at least he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
"Little husband, you understand that it belongs to you and belongs to the private property of the Capet family, and the Winster family cannot take it."
The uncle who has always been strong refused him unexpectedly, "Since we have the ability to continue to repay the loan, we should not continue to ask for your money."
Aunt also added: "I completely agree with Ethan this time. From an investment point of view, this may be our only chance to use leverage."
Aunt Anfeier's words are indeed very reasonable. Considering many factors such as currency depreciation and housing market ups and downs, it is really wise to keep money in hand for emergencies.
This is also the most mainstream thinking of the current Baiya people. If you don’t have money to buy big things, you will borrow money in advance, and borrow future money in advance to live a good life now. Perhaps it is the most sensible idea.
The story of the old lady of Göttinghagen and the old lady of Landis illustrates it.
Living in the moment is the most important thing.
Tu Fu has his own considerations.
He is too afraid of the current economic situation of the Baia Kingdom, not only is he on the wrong path of technology, but he also heard from David that the current deficit ratio of the five major banks is very serious.
Once the economy collapses or the national war begins in the future, everyone will face a serious blow, and those who have tasted the sweetness may also taste the bitterness.
This seemingly prosperous family just now, Bao Qi will fall due to an accident.
The only thing he can do now is to give the Winsters a place to live in Göttinghagen. As long as the industry grows bigger, it doesn't matter who wins or loses in the national war.
"I remember Uncle you said when you first came to Göttinghagen that there is nothing more important than having a house of your own here, and I fully agree with your words.
Since our family has the ability to pay off the loan immediately, why not pay it back immediately, and it’s the same to wait until the hot pot restaurant’s business grows and then pay it back to me. "
After Tu Fu racked his brains and told them his analysis, the whole family frowned with concern.
This is to be expected.
And there is also a very important point, even though they have lived in this street for a long time, the Winsters have never been recognized by the neighbors, and they have not even held afternoon tea here.
The reason is simple, their house is in the form of lease.
This means that there is great uncertainty in the future. Whether you can settle in Göttinghagen depends on whether your family has enough potential and whether you have a long-term stable income.
Before that, there was no need, and there was no need to have a good relationship with their family.
Only when this house is really bought, can the Winster family really gain a foothold here and not be looked down upon by others.
Ethan himself didn't care, but he didn't want people to underestimate his wife and daughter, so he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, husband, I agree to this matter. But we will repay you the money as soon as possible, and I believe it won't take long."
"Since we are a family, we shouldn't talk about money. Because I think family is more important than respectability."
A smile hung on the corner of Tu Fu's mouth, and he raised the champagne glass again, holding it up contentedly, and finally settled the important matter in his heart.
"cheers!"
Under his first leadership, whether it was Aunt An Feier who was astonished, or Uncle Ethan who had made up his mind.
All raising their glasses high at this moment, enjoying such a perfect feast.
Sophie, who was sitting across the table, also joined the ranks. She didn't say a word the whole time, enjoying the present time, and quietly looked at the confident Tufu and listened to him talking about these words.
Like a real grown-up.
and,
Sophie loved hearing him say the word "family".
Family, family, family!
What a beautiful word.
ps: Don’t ask me why this chapter only has 2,000 words, because the last chapter has 4,400 words...
