Li Xiaolin used a "rock" hammer to silence Liu Xinwu on the spot. Liu Xinwu's face was full of disappointment, which was in sharp contrast to Li Xiaolin, who was overjoyed.

"Isn't it a bit funny to use rock, scissors, and paper to decide who owns the right to publish a novel?"

Liu Xinwu's inner thoughts were expressed by Xie Dajun. He was the first to be eliminated. Watching from the sidelines that Li Xiaolin got the right to publish so easily, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was at a disadvantage.

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaolin's smile faded and she looked at Xie Dajun with a wary face. She also gave Liu Xinwu a warning look, "You two don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

After she asked this question, she turned to Lin Chaoyang and said, "Chaoyang, you saw it just now, I didn't force them both."

Liu Xinwu smiled dryly and said: "If you lose, you lose, and the "Inspector" will be given to you as the "Harvest"."

Instead of being grateful for his pretentious generosity, Li Xiaolin said, "What do you mean by giving in? I won this!"

Not getting any benefits or taking advantage of their words, Liu Xinwu and Xie Dajun looked at each other with depression written on their faces.

The publication of "Entering the Teacher" had nothing to do with them. They didn't want to stay in this sad place for a long time, so they said hello to Lin Chaoyang and left.

As soon as they went out, the two started complaining about each other.

"Tell me, what kind of scissors did you bring out?"

"I managed to persevere until the end, and I'm better than you.'

"Two grown men were killed by a lesbian, ugh!"

"The manuscripts of Yanjing writers were taken away by Shanghai publications, alas!"

When the two came, they were tit-for-tat and full of confidence. When they left, they were full of complaints and sighs.

It's the clams that fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.

Li Xiaolin, a fisherman, was of course informed by Yu Hua. He has been very close to "Harvest" in the past two years.

In 1987, Harvest published a "Special Issue on Pioneer Literature", which published a series of avant-garde literary works by young writers, including Yu Hua's "April 3rd Incident".

This "Pioneer Literature Special Issue" made several avant-garde literary writers such as Yu Hua, Ge Fei, Su Tong, Wang Shuo, and Ma Yuan famous. Later, Yu Hua published two novels in "Harvest".

After Liu Xinwu and Xie Dajun left, Li Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely grateful for her luck just now.

Yu Hua played "Enter the Master" to great effect on the phone. In addition to joy, she felt more eager to try it out.

After getting the manuscript, she was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so she immediately said goodbye to Lin Chaoyang and headed for the airport.

After handing over the manuscript, Lin Chaoyang felt free and ready to fly back to Hong Kong.

While waiting at the airport, he bought a newspaper, and an article in the People's Daily titled "my country's Individual Housing Prices Will Implement a Dual-Track System" caught his attention.

According to the newspaper, a new trend will be implemented in the housing reform starting this year, from the previous pilot of issuing vouchers and rent increases that provided subsidies to employees based on a certain percentage of wages to units selling public housing at preferential prices.

Several pilot units in Yanjing sell houses to their employees, and the house prices are more than 200 yuan per square meter, which is equivalent to the depreciated civil construction costs.

After reading the article, Lin Chaoyang's first reaction was that house prices were going to rise sharply. His second reaction was that Comrade Erchun was going to make a lot of money. Don't look at the real estate sold by the company to the company. The house price was only more than 200 yuan, but it was after depreciation. It was not depreciated.

How much?

Once public housing can be bought and sold and the market becomes active, the market will determine housing prices. For so many years, Yanjing has always had more people than housing.

Just as Lin Chaoyang was looking at it carefully, the boarding prompt sounded. He folded the newspaper and put it on the chair for the next passenger to read, and walked to the boarding gate.

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Lin Chaoyang took a taxi and returned home, only to find that there was no one at home.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the sisters Tao Yushu and the nanny Adi came back with their children.

"Why didn't you say anything when you came back? It just so happened that I took them to see the house today." Tao Yushu said.

"Looking at a house? Where's the house?"

"Deep Water Bay."

Lin Chaoyang was slightly surprised, "Is there a house for sale?"

"Yes, otherwise I will definitely wait for you to come back and watch it together."

Speaking of wealthy areas in Xiangjiang, Mid-Levels is a traditional wealthy area, while Deep Water Bay has only become popular among the wealthy in the past twenty years.

In 1963, Li Ka-shing spent 650,000 to buy the villa No. 79 in Deep Water Bay. Since then, the business has been going smoothly.

Because of their success, many wealthy people consider Deep Water Bay to be the treasure trove of Hong Kong and move in together.

Over the years, Deep Water Bay has become another wealthy area in Hong Kong, and its "rich" content is much higher than that of Mid-Levels and Repulse Bay, all because the people who live here are not ordinary rich people.

The owner of No. 68 Deep Water Bay is the Kadoorie family of CLP Group, the owner of No. 77 is the shipping king Pao Yukang, the owner of No. 79 is the richest man Li Ka-shing, and the owner of No. 80 is Xu Shixun, chairman of China State Construction Engineering Corporation.

None of these people have a net worth less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and they are all the top richest people in Hong Kong today.

The gathering of top wealthy people means that houses in Deep Water Bay are bound to become a sought-after resource for the wealthy class in Hong Kong.

Every sale of a luxury home will trigger a fight among the wealthy class.

"There are a lot of people wanting to buy, right?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Tao Yushu said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Chen Shengze from Henghe Jewelry and Liu Luanxiong who loves elegance——"

She named several people, all of whom were newly wealthy people who had emerged in Hong Kong's business community in recent years.

For new money to become old money, in addition to the increase in asset size, the most critical thing is the accumulation of many invisible resources.

Living in a luxury home in Deep Water Bay has a strong symbolic meaning for many newly wealthy people.

Therefore, whenever Deep Water Bay luxury properties appear on the market in recent years, the new wealthy people in Xiangjiang are always the most active in fighting for them.

Lin Chaoyang and his wife are stronger than the people mentioned by Tao Yushu.

The property rights of the recently launched villa No. 75 in Deep Water Bay are held by the Kadoorie family. In fact, the earliest villa area in Deep Water Bay was developed by the Kadoorie family, and they still have several villas in their hands.

In addition to No. 75 Deep Water Bay that is for sale this time, No. 70 and No. 72 Deep Water Bay are also controlled by their family.

The property at No. 75 Deep Water Bay covers an astonishing 21,400 square meters and has a construction area of ​​16,100 square meters.

In addition to the main body of the three-story villa, there are also facilities such as gardens and swimming pools. The villa is worthy of the name of a mansion because it stands in a trough with views from all sides.

Of course, the price is also very good. Villa No. 75 is priced at HK$35 million.

It is also a luxury house. The 2000 Mid-Levels mansion that Tao Yushu rewarded Zhou Xingchi with is only 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars, 3500

10,000 Hong Kong dollars is almost 8 times as much as Stephen Chow’s.

"Do you have enough money in your hand?"

Tao Yushu was observing Lin Chaoyang's expression when he asked him.

"Just enough."

Seeing Lin Chaoyang's relaxed expression, she asked again: "Then do you still have money to buy a house for Yu Mo?"

"It's almost as good as a piece together."

When Tao Yushu heard this, he couldn't help but joked: "If I ask you to come up with another 20 million, will you be able to make it up by swiping your account?"

Lin Chaoyang looked embarrassed when his pretense of poverty was revealed, "It's really gone. I'm not the God of Wealth, how can I conjure money out of thin air? This is all what I have saved so hard!"

"Just like it? How much royalties and royalties do you have?"

Lin Chaoyang said hesitantly: "There are people who can make money from stock trading, but they don't make much money."

Tao Yushu smiled and did not dwell on this issue anymore. Instead, she explained to Lin Chaoyang why she wanted to buy this house.

"My parents are getting older and they would definitely not be willing to move to Xiangjiang, but it's okay to stay for a short period of time a year.

This house in Deep Water Bay is large enough to accommodate the whole family.

Given the current economic situation in Hong Kong, housing prices in Deep Water Bay are rising faster than ordinary real estate properties, which is equivalent to investment."

After listening to Tao Yushu's words, Lin Chaoyang nodded.

Putting aside the fact that family members come to live there, luxury homes like Deep Water Bay Villa are mostly priced but not marketable.

It can be called the most scarce top resource in this port city.

By around 2020 in later generations, the price of a villa in the Deep Water Bay luxury area has soared to 25

With more than HK$100 million, housing prices have increased dozens of times.

Even so, it is still sought after by the rich.

"It's up to you to decide, I have no objection."

Lin Chaoyang handed over the decision-making power to Tao Yushu. She thought for a moment and then made up her mind.

There are many potential buyers for No. 75 Deep Water Bay. Now that you have made your decision, you must act quickly to avoid being preempted by someone else.

Early the next morning, she contacted the real estate agent to sign the contract and pay the deposit. As soon as the contract was signed, the real estate agent received a call from Henghe Jewelry Chen Shengze. Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin!"

The Kadoorie family has always lived in seclusion, and the entire sale of No. 75 Deep Water Bay was handled by a real estate agent. After signing the contract, both parties shook hands and said congratulations.

The next step is to transfer the ownership and pay the house payment and taxes.

There are five types of real estate taxes in Xiangjiang, namely property tax, rates tax, stamp tax, inheritance tax and real estate transaction profits tax. The only stamp tax that Lin Chaoyang and his wife need to pay when transferring ownership.

According to new regulations promulgated by the Hong Kong government in April 1988, the property price at No. 75 Deep Water Bay exceeds HK$1.5 million, and the stamp duty is 2.75% of the property price, which is close to HK$1 million.

The stamp duty alone is enough for ordinary people in Xiangjiang to buy a large house in Qianchui.
