Chapter 1364 Buy a New House and Treat Me to a Meal
In a very distinctive Korean restaurant in Chaoyang District, Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei sat side by side and ordered dishes. When they handed the menu to the waiter after ordering the dishes, they just saw Yang Dongxu coming in. Du Weiwei waved to him, indicating that the two of them were here.
In recent years, not only has the domestic pharmaceutical industry been severely impacted by foreign equipment and drugs, but the traditional absolute king-level Chinese food and cooking seem to be no longer as popular as foreign fast food.
What KFC, Korean barbecue, Japanese cuisine, these are obviously some shops that are very common in foreign countries. After moving to China, they have become inexplicably high-end.
The most typical examples are KFC and pizza. These are foreign fast food. In foreign countries, they are junk food that only the most basic working class often eat. The middle class rarely touches it, let alone the upper class.
But after this thing came to China, it instantly became a face-saving existence that only the white-collar class can afford. Even when a guy is in love and asks his girlfriend to go to KFC, it seems to be a very face-saving thing.
"We have ordered the dishes. You can order whatever you want." Du Weiwei handed the menu that was originally intended to be handed to the waiter to Yang Dongxu.
It is actually very impolite to order dishes before the guests arrive, but the three of them are very familiar with each other, so they don't care about these details.
"Why did you think of inviting me out for dinner today?" Yang Dongxu took the menu and took a look, "It's quite a lot. If it's not enough, order more later."
After that, he handed the ribbon back to the waiter and asked the waiter to go to the back to prepare the dishes.
"Da La La" Hearing Yang Dongxu's question, Du Weiwei and Zhang Jing looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Du Weiwei stretched out her fingers and hung a bunch of keys.
Yang Dongxu took a look at the keys and gave a thumbs up, "Great, you are a homeowner in Yanjing. But shouldn't you burn the bottom of the pot at home to celebrate the purchase of a new house? Why are you going out to eat?"
"I just got the keys to the house, and it hasn't been renovated yet. It will be renovated after a while, and you can burn the bottom of the pot with the gift." Du Weiwei raised her chin a little proudly.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but smile, although Yang Dongxu didn't think the current housing prices in Yanjing were expensive at all. Take Chaoyang District, where high-tech industries are concentrated, for example. The housing prices this year are only about 6,000 per square meter. The most expensive housing prices in Yanjing are only more than 9,000, less than 10,000.
But the current housing prices are low and people earn less. Compared with the future, a monthly salary of 20,000 or 30,000 in Yanjing can only be considered an average income and life is very hard.
Now a white-collar worker with a salary of 10,000 yuan is already a very decent job, so a month's salary can't buy a house of two square meters without food or drink, and it's really not even a toilet. This housing price is already considered high.
So at this time, those who can afford to buy a house in Yanjing and prepare to decorate and move in after getting the key can definitely be classified as rich people.
"Where is the new house? Go and get to know the door when you have time." Yang Dongxu asked.
"The area of Communication University on Chaoyang Road." Zhang Jing said, she has been a lecturer for a long time. Although Mandarin is becoming more and more standard, because I have lived in Yanjing for a long time, I am not so formal when I leave the podium, and I will occasionally use a little bit of linguistic accent when chatting with friends.
"Hey, the location is good, in the center of Chaoyang District." Yang Dongxu praised with a smile.
"Is the city center of your home divided according to the center of a district? If you go a little further east, you will almost reach the East Fifth Ring Road." Du Weiwei curled her lips with a look of deep hatred, as if she was very dissatisfied with Yang Dongxu, a local tyrant, for such compliments. But the smile on her lips was obviously a joke.
"It's not that exaggerated, not that exaggerated, it's only the East Fourth Ring Road." Yang Dongxu retorted.
"Yes, yes, it's only the East Fourth Ring Road, and it can't be compared with people like you who have a courtyard house in the imperial city." Du Weiwei hummed.
Then she couldn't help laughing first.
"Have you contacted the decoration company? It happens that I know someone. If you haven't decided on a decoration company, I can contact you and give you a discount." Yang Dongxu asked.
"Not yet." Zhang Jing said.
Du Weiwei next to him also followed up, "It's just a discount, isn't it too stingy?"
"What, you want to give you a set of solid wood furniture while decorating for free?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.
Du Weiwei snapped her fingers excitedly, "If that's the case, that would be great, thank you for your generous help."
"You lie on the dining table and sleep for a while, and you will have anything in your dreams."
"If dreams can come true, I will definitely hire you to clean the toilet for me." Du Weiwei's little face puffed up and stared at Yang Dongxu.
Such a playful look on a woman in her thirties doesn't look abrupt at all. Or the kind of disobedience of an old woman pretending to be young.
"Your dream is so heavy, and you're cleaning the toilet?"
"You're going to clean the toilet."
"Okay, okay, do you want to eat later? Xuzi knows a decoration company to introduce. Weiwei and I have found several decoration companies after getting the house these days, but the quotes always seem a bit unreliable. They said they would include labor and materials, and their faces immediately turned cold when they heard that we would buy the decoration materials ourselves." Zhang Jing interrupted the two people's quarrel.
"The profit of including labor and materials is much higher, even if we use real materials. The decoration company can get a lot of profit by getting the internal price. If you buy the decoration materials yourself, it would be strange if they are happy to earn hard-earned money."
"We have a lot of their wages, but we are too greedy." Du Weiwei snorted when she thought of the attitudes of the decoration companies she had consulted before after hearing about the materials she bought.
"Who still thinks money is hot? When you were a real estate agent, didn't you also hope that customers would buy early and get commission after completing the handover?"
"I do everything in accordance with the company's rules and regulations, and I don't cross the line at all." Du Weiwei was very unconvinced by Yang Dongxu's comparison between him and those greedy decoration companies.
"Double standards, right? Besides, if someone has a bad attitude, why don't you ask someone else to decorate the house? There's no need to be so hateful and bitter, right?" Yang Dongxu retorted.
Du Weiwei glanced at him and said nothing, obviously feeling that she was a little emotional just now. The main reason was that before the two of them came here to meet Yang Dongxu for dinner, they had just gone to a decoration company. When the other party heard that they were renovating an 80-square-meter house and had to buy the materials themselves, her attitude made her very angry.
"Now that you have a house, why don't you buy another car? Isn't it some distance from where you work?" At this time, the waiter brought the dishes he ordered.
The reason why the food is served so fast is that at this time in a Korean teppanyaki restaurant, the iron plate on the table has started to heat up. You have to do everything by yourself, and the raw ingredients are naturally served quickly.
"I have bought a house and have to renovate it. How can I have any spare money? Besides, driving from there to the city is not as fast as taking the subway. You don't know, during the evening rush hour when you get off work, the bus can be so jammed that it will drive you crazy. ." Du Weiwei complained.
"Buying a car and driving in the city is indeed not as convenient as taking the subway. But if you buy a car, you can go to the suburbs. When you have nothing to do on weekends, you can drive yourself to the surrounding scenic spots for a stroll. It is much more convenient than taking a car."
The three of them worked together to put the barbecue and other things on the iron plate, especially the meat with a little fat. First put the fat side on it and fry it to get the oil, then flip it to the other side and serve it with some barbecue. seasoning. Or you can make your own dipping sauce, which tastes really good.
"This is a good suggestion." Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded. Traveling naturally improves your mood. Driving by yourself is indeed much more comfortable than squeezing into a bus. "But I still don't have money. Let's wait until next year."
Zhang Jing is also a little playful now. She has obviously moved on from the disgusting expressions of her relatives after her father passed away.
"If you don't have a lot of money at the moment, you can pay it first. It just so happens that my company recently had a batch of cars to be replaced. Among them is the fashionable Audi A4 sedan, which is very suitable for girls to drive. And it is sold at a discount, a car costing 450,000 yuan. , it has only been driven less than 10,000 kilometers a year and can be sold for less than 300,000.”
"Big dog owners take advantage of the country." Du Weiwei couldn't help but snarled again.
I don’t know if it’s because when I was an intermediary, I always bowed down and said nice things to clients, and I felt aggrieved. Du Weiwei, who is not at work, has an increasing tendency to become a troll.
However, although this sentence is meant to troll people, it is also true. By disposing of such a good car in this way, the company is indeed taking advantage of the country.
By taking advantage of some little tricks in the policy, while giving companies some tax relief, they can also turn the taxes that should have been paid to the state into company assets such as cars, houses and other things.
Therefore, what big companies like to do most is to buy all kinds of luxurious new cars and equip their executives with high-end apartments. Because these were bought with public funds deducted from taxes, it basically cost no money of your own, and you can still make a profit when you sell them at a discount in the future.
"So, do you want to take advantage of this bargain? It's a new car that's only a year old, not to mention all kinds of maintenance. I don't even save a single dime from paying for it with public funds. They are all used and maintained with the best quality. They are sold at almost 50% off." Yang Dongxu smiled. Looking at Du Weiwei.
Du Weiwei glared at him, snorted and said nothing, obviously her heart was moved. Not to mention her, even Zhang Jing felt that it would be good to get a car like this.
Suddenly Du Weiwei's expression changed, and Zhang Jing's expression also changed, and the two of them looked behind Yang Dongxu. This made Yang Dongxu look back curiously.
Their table was not far from the hotel entrance, so it was easy to see what was going on there by turning around. At this time, a group of people came into the hotel, all men and women in suits and leather shoes. A group of people came in to talk and laugh, giving off an aura of social elite.
"Why is this a nuisance?" Du Weiwei frowned and seemed a little disappointed.
"It's just an accident. Eat the barbecue in front of you quickly. If you fry it again, it will be burnt." Zhang Jing said, after putting a piece of barbecue on her plate, she put all the other excess roasted meat. Yang Dongxu.
Du Weiwei, who had a disappointed look on her face, made almost the same move as her after retracting her gaze. They all know that Yang Dongxu eats a lot. Whatever Yang Dongxu fried himself was definitely not enough for him to eat.
The three of them were dividing the meat and frying the next batch. Among the people who came in just now, a man who was not tall, but seemed to be the leader in the middle of the crowd glanced this way. Just in time to see Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei sitting facing the door, they walked over quickly with happy faces.
