Chapter 2724 2726 [Self-supporting portal]
At the beginning of 2008, after the Chinese New Year, Jin Quan gathered the Jin family together and prepared to separate from them.
"Our family's current deposits are only 400,000 yuan. I will take out 200,000 yuan, and each of you four brothers will have 50,000 yuan." Jin Quan said, "After receiving the money, you can go out and live. I’ve given you money. If you have a conscience, come and see me every now and then. If you don’t have a conscience, just treat me as if I’m dead.”
Hearing what he said, everyone was taken aback.
"Father, we are not leaving, we are all with you." Jin Fengju said hastily.
"Yes, father, we will be by your side to honor you, and we will not go anywhere." Jin Hesun also said.
"Father, don't say such things, how can a child be worthy of it." Jin Pengzhen also said quickly.
"Okay, I'm giving you a chance to stand on your own." Jin Quan waved his hand and said, "If you have the ability, you can make a living on your own.
If you have no skills and can’t stay outside, I will also take care of your food when you come home. But it is absolutely impossible to enjoy it like before. Do it for yourselves. "
Seeing that he said so, the three of them had no choice but to stop.
…
Afterwards, the four brothers Xiang Nan, Feng Ju, He Sun, and Peng Zhen each received 50,000 oceans, and then each looked for a house to move.
After Fengju, Hesun, and Pengzhen went out, they immediately bought a large house of hundreds of square meters to accommodate their family. Naturally, they spent thousands of dollars for this.
But Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to buy a house, but rented an apartment near Stockholm University. In this way, it is convenient for Leng Qingqiu to go to school.
In addition to Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian, there are also servants such as Jin Rong, Cuiyu, and Pearl, which can be regarded as a big family.
The reason why he is not in a hurry to buy a house is because Xiang Nan knows that the current housing prices in Stockholm are still relatively expensive.
Because today is what newspapers call the [Golden Age of Capitalism], the economy is growing rapidly, hedonism is prevalent, and everyone dares to consume in advance.
Therefore, houses, cars, refrigerators, washing machines, radios, brand-name clothing... have been favored by the public. At that time, the US presidential campaign declared that every family should have a car in their garage, and every family should have a chicken in their kitchen...
So the housing prices at that time were inflated. A house of 100 square meters in Stockholm costs 2,000 Swedish kronor. If you want to buy a villa with a garden and a swimming pool, it will cost at least 100,000 crowns.
But wait until 2029, when the economic crisis breaks out, I'm afraid it can be bought for 20,000 crowns.
Although Xiang Nan can make a lot of money, he will also be careful when spending money.
…
In 2008, Xiang Nan continued to gallop in the stock market while writing the serialization of "The Hobbit—A Wonderful Journey".
His fame and wealth are thus rapidly increasing.
At the same time, Jin Meili also entered the preparatory class of Stockholm University, preparing to major in literature and becoming a writer like her brother and sister-in-law in the future.
At the same time, China continued to call for the Northern Expedition after the new party unified.
On June 4th, the Huanggutun incident broke out, and the leader of the Feng faction warlord was killed. This also declared the complete collapse of the Beiyang government supported by him.
As early as the end of May, when the Northern Expeditionary Army sent envoys to Beiping City, Bai Xiongqi had officially announced his resignation, and then he and his wife lived in seclusion in Jinmen, planning to come back.
Bai Xiuzhu was naturally very sad when she learned that her brother was leaving the field. I didn't expect my brother to be strong for a lifetime, but in the end he still couldn't fight for his life. The Prime Minister did a good job, but he was forced to step down.
"Okay, now that the situation is turbulent, it's just right that the Prime Minister should not be appointed." Seeing her downcast, Xiang Nan quickly persuaded with a smile, "Besides, your brother has made a lot of money over the years, so it's enough."
"I hate it, don't say that about my brother." Bai Xiuzhu said angrily when she heard this.
"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Xiang Nan nodded.
Actually, he felt that he had done those things to Bai Xiongqi, and it was really cheap for him to go to the field so easily. If he were to be in power, a traitor like this should have his property confiscated and then shot.
However, during the period of the Republic of China, the atmosphere was like this. As long as you announce your resignation, you will generally not be chased.
The reason for this is mainly because the political situation was turbulent at that time, when everyone was in power, and when everyone was frustrated, the king's flag changed on the top of the city, and I will appear on the stage after you sing. It's time to step down. So stay on the front line when doing things, and we will meet again in the future.
Bai Xiongqi was greedy tens of millions while he was in office. After arriving in Jinmen, he can live a comfortable life. Although there is no power, but with money, life is just as comfortable.
What a displeasure to think about!
…
In the second half of 2008, Leng Qingqiu successfully became a graduate student in the Department of Literature at Stockholm University, and Jin Meili also became a student in the Department of Literature.
Jin Runzhi opened a flower shop on the street with his father's support.
Actually, after Li Haoran's sacrifice, her mental state has not been very good. Even if she came to Sweden, thousands of miles away, she still misses her constantly.
She was depressed almost every day, unable to raise her spirits, so in order for her to come out smoothly, Jin Quan thought of letting her come out to do something, so as not to be bored at home alone.
Xiang Nan also supported this suggestion after knowing about it.
In the end, Jin Runzhi felt the love of his family and decided to come out. The flower shop is her own idea. Looking at those flowers, the whole person will feel more comfortable.
In the past six months or so, the lives of the three brothers Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen have basically not changed much.
They didn't look for a job, and they didn't do any business. Instead, they deposited all their money in the bank, thinking about earning interest. But now is the era of prosperity, and the interest rate on deposits is not high, only less than two percent.
So their money is deposited in the bank, and they can only get about 2,000 oceans in interest every year. And these people are used to enjoyment, like Jin Fengju who takes a concubine and spends 10,000 oceans easily.
Now they have to support their own family, at least six people, how can it be possible for a mere two thousand oceans. Therefore, I originally thought that it would be enough to eat interest, but in less than three months, I have already started to use the principal.
According to Xiang Nan's estimation, even if it is the richest third brother's family, according to their current living standard, 150,000 yuan would be enough to spend five or six years at most.
At that time, if you don't change it, you may become a beggar.
Like the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were often reports in newspapers that "the princes and grandchildren fell to the gate of the city, and the princess ordered his wife to fall into the fireworks courtyard".
It is because these bannermen's children love leisure and do not work, so once the Qing Dynasty fell, they would not have the ability to support themselves at all, so they had to be reduced to beggars and prostitutes.
