Now, Mingxia had seven properties registered under her name, with four in H state and three in Beijing, and these seven properties were worth at least ten million in the future.
Just thinking about it made her eager to continue buying properties, especially since she had over two hundred thousand yuan on hand now. If she wanted to, she could definitely buy another one.
Due to the price increase over the past two years, the properties in their neighborhood had risen to nearly three thousand yuan per square meter, and the future looked promising! Thɪs chapter is updated by novelꞁire.net
However, Mingxia was still preoccupied with one thing, so she didn’t buy immediately but instead took out fifty thousand yuan to try investing in the stock market to learn how to trade stocks and prepare for the bull market in 2005.
Usually, her job at the restaurant was to buy groceries and collect money. When she had free time, there were also busy times, but when busy times aren’t worth mentioning, during her free time, she would check some news of this era on the computer.
Yes, the computer at home had been moved to the restaurant. Cao Yuan said he didn’t need the desktop since he had a laptop, so she moved it to the restaurant, which was quite convenient for occasionally playing music, keeping accounts, and gathering information.
In June 2002, a certain novel website had already started a trial operation. Earlier this year, she had already told Xiuying to read more novels on this website when possible, especially those on the leaderboard, to understand the popular elements since the website’s benefits were not good initially transitioning from free to charging required a process, so she didn’t recommend her to publish in 2002; reading mainly in the first half of 2003, but now in the second half of 2003, they encountered renovations.
Xiuying meant that she would dwell on it after the house was renovated.
Mingxia also planned to collaborate with Xiuying, naturally, she wouldn’t waste time; so when she had spare moments, besides following current news and the stock market, she also paid attention to some media.
Speaking of media, record companies had already contacted her countless times, asking her to release songs, but she had refused every time, claiming she couldn’t write and lacked inspiration.
Compared to cutting corners, she felt that money earned through her own efforts was much easier to spend.
The kids went to Beijing in mid-June and came back in mid-August, a full two months, which was very significant.
Xiao Xiao was responsible for taking care of the little sister at home, while Xiuying went out with Cao Yang to look at materials and supervise the construction.
With the money in place, the materials in place, and the workers in place, the renovation moved much faster. Hence, after more than three months (starting in May), the new house was renovated from kitchen to bathroom, everything was completed just before they returned home.
Next was moving in furniture and appliances. Gong Mingxia, wanting the houses to rent at a good price, had installed air conditioning in each house, the wardrobes were built during the renovation, and beds, curtains, sofas, coffee tables, washing machines, and TVs were all provided.
After tweaking the three houses altogether, including the initial sixty thousand yuan and an additional eighty thousand yuan sent later, a total of one hundred and forty thousand yuan were spent. Once all the houses were equipped, they were incredibly beautiful. If one were to move in, a monthly rent of one thousand yuan would be a bit of a loss, so Xiuying decided to increase the rent according to the situation, otherwise it would be a big loss.
Gong Mingxia’s property contracts, invoices, and the original ID Card were left with Xiuying, so she would handle whatever rent could be charged next.
She had made two ID Cards, so she could leave one with Xiuying.
Due to time constraints, the siblings didn’t play in Beijing. Although this was a regret, they had already agreed with Xiuying to have a proper fun time the next summer vacation.
