Chapter 320 – The Xu Family, A Promising Future
No matter what Xu Jinning said, Aunt Xu’s attitude was very firm; she insisted on transferring the property to her name and wanted her to accept it.
“But if Sister Qingqing and Wentao know about it, won’t they have any objections?” After all, it’s a house and a shop; even if it’s for a niece, it shouldn’t be given away lightly.
“You don’t need to worry about them. This is my property, and I can give it to whomever I want. Besides, they usually don’t have objections to my decisions, and I’ve already given them plenty, so you don’t need to worry.”
Xu Aian’s words were indeed truthful.
No matter whom she gave the house, the shop, or other things to, in Xu Qingqing and the others’ eyes, there must have been a reason or deeper meaning.
Moreover, they knew their mother would not cheat them or treat them unfairly.
Therefore, no matter what decision their mother made, even if it seemed on the surface to not benefit them or even slightly harm their interests, they wouldn’t think that way. Xu Qingqing and the others had unconditional trust in their mother, Aunt Xu.
“Alright, alright then.” Aunt Xu was very persuasive; in the end, Xu Jinning had no choice but to agree.
“Okay, then find some time to come to Tianjin and sign all the necessary documents.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fanghua asked curiously what had happened.
Xu Jinning didn’t hide anything and directly told her that Aunt Xu had said on the phone that she wanted to transfer a house and a shop to her.
“A house and a shop from the demolition compensation…” Xu Fanghua remembered that Aunt initially planned to sell the house but later didn’t.
Xu Fanghua suddenly thought of a possibility.
She leaned close to Xu Jinning’s ear and whispered, “Ningning, was it… your inner thought’s reminder?”
Xu Jinning understood the meaning in her sister’s eyes and nodded.
Xu Fanghua suddenly realized and patted Xu Jinning on the shoulder, saying, “Since that’s the case, these are rightfully yours. If Aunt is giving them to you, just accept them without any psychological burden.”
Xu Jinning: Alright then.
Since everyone said so, she decided to accept them.
Two days later, Xie Ting’an drove Xu Jinning to Tianjin.
Under Aunt Xu’s guidance, they completed the property transfer.
Soon, one floor of the future commercial center building and two shops in the future bustling area of Tianjin were transferred to Xu Jinning’s name.
Now, besides these houses and shops, Xu Jinning also had a small villa in Haishi, which was compensation from the Lin family.
Xu Jinning remembered that this small villa would also be demolished in two or three years, leading to further compensation. She also had the welfare house from her father’s factory.
When the wave of layoffs hit in the future, these welfare houses would also face demolition, leading to more compensation.
It seemed that she wouldn’t lack real estate in this lifetime.
Would she be able to sit back and collect rent as a landlord in the future?
Of course, these were thoughts for later.
Returning to Beijing University, Xu Jinning found the campus unusually lively.
It was already November, wintertime.
Next month, after finishing her studies, there would be a holiday, and it would be nearly New Year’s.
Xu Jinning thought about it; she had come to Beijing University in the summer, and now it had been almost half a year since she had returned home.
Although she could contact her family by phone, she hadn’t seen them in person and didn’t know how her parents, elder brother, sister-in-law, and second brother were doing.
By the way, she heard that her sister-in-law’s due date was next month; she wondered if she would make it in time.
Now, business was becoming more transparent.
The county had even designated a market area divided into stalls for rent, allowing people to set up stalls.
She remembered that when this news came out, her second brother excitedly called her to ask if it was reliable because he wanted to rent a stall and set up shop.
Xu Jinning naturally supported the idea.
She even suggested that he should rent for a longer period.
This place was officially designated, and now they were tentatively opening it up to attract the public’s participation, so the rent was very low.
If he signed a lease for several years, the rent would be even lower, with some policy support.
Xu Jinning knew that in the future, these places would not only increase in rent but also become highly sought after.
When others saw the early adopters making money and wanted to join in later, it would be too late.
Xu Jinning also suggested that if there were still some stalls left unleased, her second brother should rent them too.
As for what to do with them, perhaps he could lease them out later.
Eventually, her second brother rented a relatively large stall, three medium stalls, and two small stalls. The largest one was dedicated to selling clothes and pants. He collaborated with some transportation fleets, initially going to Guangzhou and Haishi to source goods, and then having the fleets bring the goods back on their regular routes every half month.
Of course, selling clothes and sourcing from Haishi and Guangzhou were Xu Jinning’s suggestions.
She remembered from the story that clothes from these two places were the cheapest and the most fashionable.
Selling clothes was quite profitable.
In the future, selling electronics like radios, TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines would be even more lucrative, but there was no rush; these things would come gradually.
In a year or two, they could even try opening a supermarket.
For now, she advised her second brother to focus on setting up the clothing stall well and making more money.
In a year or two, they could consider buying land.
The land they bought could be used to build malls, supermarkets, and so on.
Rented places are never as good as owning your own land.
Moreover, any land, no matter where it is, will surely appreciate in value in the future, and buying and selling it will become increasingly difficult.
So, when the policies become more open soon, they must seize the opportunity.
Xu Xiangbei was inspired by the future blueprint Xu Jinning had outlined.
He was filled with passionate enthusiasm.
Of course, he would follow Xu Jinning’s advice.
After all, Ningning was the family’s lucky star and his as well. Without Ningning, he might have been dead by now.
So, he had to listen to Ningning.
Later, it was heard that the clothing stall Xu Xiangbei set up was doing exceptionally well.
Xu Jinning also heard that not only had her second brother rented a stall in the market, but her elder brother Xu Xiangdong had also rented one.
His stall specialized in selling ducks, duck eggs, and fish.
That’s right, the ducks and fish that her elder brother and sister-in-law raised after getting their contract.
Now, the ducks had grown up and were laying plenty of eggs daily.
Xu Xiangdong simply rented a stall to sell ducks, duck eggs, and fish. When his wife Wen Yulan had time, she would help manage the stall. Sometimes Zhang Ailian would also go to help her two sons.
Go to whoever needed help.
