Chapter 178 Wang Family "The architecture in this courtyard is so strange. Why does it look so foreign?" Zhang Chi looked back and saw Shen Feifei and other girls coming over. They were standing outside the wall and looking inside curiously. Shen Feifei nodded slightly when she heard Yu Youxi's doubts and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, this is a typical Portuguese building, with white walls, red tiles, and the curved dome are all its characteristics." Everyone looked at what Shen Feifei called the curved dome, but it was actually a porch that had collapsed to the ground. I don’t know what this building has been through. It feels dilapidated everywhere, and there are signs of human destruction. Zhang Chi frowned slightly, vaguely remembering something. But he couldn't guarantee it. Shen Feifei seemed to have seen through it a long time ago. She shook her head and didn't explain any further. After enjoying the beautiful sunrise. The group returned to the beach camping area on the west side of the island.
Zhang Chi said something to everyone and then walked towards the village by himself. He wanted to ask the villagers about the abandoned seaside manor. "I'll go with you." Shen Feifei trotted over, Zhang Chi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Aren't you tired?" "That's nothing. When I was in Hangzhou, I would run 5 kilometers every morning." Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at her well-built and perky buttocks, and thought to himself, no wonder. As for why it’s no wonder, those who understand will understand. After all, it's not just tight. After Zhang Chi recalled the past, he quickly shook his head to dispel the beautiful images in his mind. Shen Feifei didn't know that she had just been mentally defiled by Zhang Chi. At this moment, she was looking at the murals and graffiti in the village with great interest. I have to say that the team led by Director Wang’s daughter is quite something. Their works can be found on every wall in the village, many of which are popular pictures from film and television, and of course there are also some improvisations. At this time, Zhang Chi was standing in front of a huge graffiti and asked Shen Feifei to take a picture for him. The two walked and stopped for more than half an hour. Only then did they arrive at the village committee. As soon as I entered the door, I met Gangzi's classmate who was the village party secretary. When he saw Zhang Chi, he greeted him warmly. "Good morning, Mr. Zhang." "Hey, Brother Wang, don't call me Boss, just call me Chizi. Didn't we agree on that yesterday?" Wang Jin smiled bitterly when he heard this.
I didn't know you had such a big business. Dozens of used cars are sold every day. Even if the profit of each car is only 1 yuan, it is still more than 30 yuan. Wang Jin is just a small village party secretary, and his monthly salary is less than a fraction of what Zhang Chi earns in a day. In this era where rich people are the boss, even if he is a cadre, he has to serve the big boss politely. It’s not his fault that he is so flattering, but society is just that realistic. Of course, unless power reaches a certain level, money is like dirt. Obviously Wang Jin has not reached that level yet. "No, no, Mr. Zhang, what are you saying? Last night the villagers praised you for being honest, and some even said that you might lose money on this business." "Well, it's not that exaggerated." The Internet is very developed nowadays. If villagers want to know the price of used cars, they can check it online at any time. I guess someone checked last night and did some calculations, and felt that Zhang Chi would not make much money by selling so many cars to them. Some people who are more knowledgeable even feel that Zhang Chi might lose money. Of course, losing money is impossible. Zhang Chi has a heart for cars. Others may lose money, but he will always make money. In fact, Wang Jin didn’t say one more thing. That is, in the past, the villagers thought that he was young as the village party secretary, so they were somewhat disobedient to him. But after what happened yesterday, the villagers knew that he actually knew a big boss like Zhang Chi, and brought him here to "deliver benefits" to the village. The villagers' attitude towards him changed 180 degrees. Wang Jin could clearly feel that his status in the village had improved. All this was because Zhang Chi gave concessions to the villagers, which made the villagers feel that he, as a young village party secretary, had great reputation outside the island. "By the way, Mr. Zhang, you came to the village committee so early, is there something going on?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Yes, we went to the east side of the island to watch the sunrise this morning, and we happened to see an abandoned small manor. I wanted to ask what that place was used for before, and whether we can buy or rent it. I really like the scenery on your island, and I plan to build a holiday cottage so that I can come and visit in the future." Shen Feifei was stunned when she heard this. He knew Zhang Chi had something to do, but he didn't expect that he would buy that dilapidated little manor. What was even more shocked was Wang Jin. He swallowed. "No, Mr. Zhang, you, you are not kidding?" Zhang Chi nodded slightly, shook his head amusedly, and said, "Of course not. I can't come here to entertain you so early in the morning." Wang Jin laughed dryly, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Well, this matter is a bit serious. As a village party secretary, I can't give you an answer. How about this? I will arrange a table at the food stall at noon, and then let the village elders talk to you."
Zhang Chi had expected this result and nodded, indicating that there was no problem. After leaving the village committee. Zhang Chi looked at Shen Feifei who seemed to be hesitant to speak. Shen Feifei frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" "Don't you have anything to say?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile. Shen Feifei glanced at him and snorted, "I am indeed curious about why you want to buy that small manor, but since it is your decision, I believe you will not do it without a purpose. That manor must have something you want, or some secrets, right?" "clever!" Zhang Chi excitedly reached out and patted Shen Feifei's butt. Shen Feifei's delicate body trembled, and she glared at Zhang Chi speechlessly. Zhang Chi chuckled and didn't explain any further, nor did he mention the Ferrari 212. Let's wait until the dust settles. Especially that car, it can only appear quietly in the future, and no one must be allowed to see the whole process of its birth. · "Second uncle, second uncle!" "Who is it? Oh, Jin." Wang Boyan waved his hand casually, indicating Wang Jin to go into the house first. Wang Jin respected his second uncle very much, not only because of their seniority, but also because Wang Boyan had fully funded his studies and college entrance exams. If he had not been admitted to university and obtained a bachelor's degree, he would not be the village party secretary now. "Have you eaten, Jin? Do you want some porridge?" "No, Second Aunt, I ate it at home." After saying hello to his second aunt in the kitchen, Wang Jin walked into the main room and saw his second uncle sitting behind the tea table reading a newspaper. Wang Boyan was a well-known figure in Haisha in his early years, and even now some fishmongers often come to visit him. Whenever there was something good, they would send it to him as a gift. For example, yesterday, a piece of top-quality tuna belly was sent to him by one of his younger brothers early in the morning. Wang Boyan didn't like eating sashimi, so he gave it to Zhang Chi and Gangzi as a favor. "What's going on? Is someone from the village committee making things difficult for you again?" Wang Boyan frowned. Hearing this, Wang Jin scratched his head in embarrassment. He has been weak in character since childhood. If it weren't for his second uncle Wang Boyan's care, his achievements today would probably be limited.
Wang Boyan saw that he looked like a hopeless case and frowned, "How many times have I told you not to get into conflict with the villagers during this period? Stay dormant for a while. Next year, I will ask your uncle to get you to the Haisha Fisheries Bureau as a deputy section chief. Why don't you listen?" Wang Jin pursed his chapped lips and shook his head, "Second Uncle, I didn't have any conflicts with the villagers. On the contrary, because of Gangzi's brother, the villagers have been smiling when they see me these past two days, and no one dares to be sarcastic to me anymore." "Oh?" Wang Boyan frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Is it Mr. Zhang from Xiasha Village?" "right……" stunned. Wang Jin asked curiously, "Second uncle, do you know him?" Wang Boyan nodded, put down the newspaper in his hand, then motioned for Wang Jin to sit down, and personally poured him a cup of tea. "I asked someone last night. This Zhang Chi is very capable. He has made a name for himself in Haisha in less than a year. He is also connected to your cousin and they have a very good relationship." "Little cousin?" Wang Jin asked in confusion. Wang Boyan nodded and said, "Yes, that's the one who used to cry every time you saw him when you were a child." When talking about the embarrassing things that happened in his childhood, Wang Jin blushed and didn't know how to respond. However, when he was a child, he was really bullied by his younger cousin, especially during family gatherings during the Chinese New Year. His younger cousin always liked to bully the younger generations of the same age as them. Later, Wang went to university and we had less and less contact. In addition, after great-grandfather passed away, each branch of the Wang family lived separately and had even less contact. When Grandpa Wang Jin drew lots, he got the lot for guarding the ancestral temple, so he naturally became the head of the Wang family. Someone had to guard the ancestral temple from generation to generation. Other families took advantage of the reform and opening up to go out and venture into the world. In the early years when Wang Jin's great-grandfather was still alive, the old man could still control a bunch of little brats. But ever since the old man left, each branch of the family has become disloyal, and apart from coming back to worship their ancestors during festivals, there is basically no contact between them. There is even a situation where people praise the powerful and bully the weak. Of course, this situation is not so common, and the big families in the south are generally united. Twenty years ago, the Wang family had a dragon, who made a name for himself in Haisha and became unstoppable. During that period, many members of the Wang family received support. The clan leader's family has always been lukewarm because of the relationship with the island guards. Now that Wang Jin has finally been born and has entered the civil service system, Wang Boyan must of course help his nephew well. "Your younger cousin is still not close to him, but you can get closer to him." "I understand, uncle. I came to you to tell you that Mr. Zhang just came to the village committee to find me and said he wanted to buy your broken garden."
Wang Boyan was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Which broken garden? We have so many gardens. Please explain it clearly." Wang Jin pointed to the east of the village and said, "That's the garden that my great grandfather snatched from the Portuguese. There was a broken car frame in the yard, didn't you forget it?" Wang Boyan recalled. The truth is that his Wang family has too many properties and land deeds on the island, and he really couldn't think of it for the moment. I remembered it when I heard about the broken car frame. "Oh, that one." Wang Boyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked curiously, "What does he want that yard for?" "He said he wanted to get a room with a sea view and come here often for vacation in the future." "Vacation?" After hearing Wang Jin's explanation, Wang Boyan always felt that something was not right, but he really couldn't understand what was so good about that shabby garden. To say that there are any treasures left by the Portuguese is sheer nonsense. Back then, his grandfather, Wang Jin's great-grandfather, led the entire village to tie up the Portuguese and took out all the good things they could find. Everything, valuable or not, was looked through. They were wondering what kind of gold the Portuguese had hidden in the walls and pillars, so they simply knocked down all the buildings in the garden to check. Unfortunately, the Portuguese never made the gold into pillars or bricks to build houses. In the end, he got so angry that he burned some flashy things. Wang Boyan remembers it very clearly; he was still very young at that time. The little car in the garden was set on fire by his father himself. Later, every household got some good things. However, when it comes to fixed assets such as land and title deeds, they agreed to confiscate them and hand them over to the clan for disposal. At that time, the old man directly gave several gardens to Wang Boyan's father, the next clan leader, in order to supplement their family. After all, once you become the patriarch, your descendants will have to stay on the island. So they gave some land and title deeds as compensation. Decades pass. Now those dilapidated gardens have fallen into the hands of the new clan leader, Wang Boyan, and will be passed on to his son if nothing unexpected happens. Now I heard that someone wants to buy that dilapidated garden. Wang Boyan felt that this might be an opportunity for the development of the island. Just like last year when Mayor Li came to promote the e-commerce live streaming industry, he saw hope for the island to regain vitality.
Wang Boyan is a man who dares to act and take responsibility, and he is also a visionary adventurer. He believed in his own judgment, just like twenty years ago, he believed that Wang Hu would definitely make a fortune and was willing to give all the gold, silver and jewelry he had snatched from the Portuguese to Wang Hu as start-up capital. That's right. The little cousin that Wang Jin was extremely afraid of was actually Haisha Wanghu. He is also Wang Boyan's third cousin, the youngest son of Wang Boyan's generation, and also the most capable son of the Wang family. In the past, when Wang Hu was still just a street thug, he found Wang Boyan and said that oil pouring and nightclubs were very popular outside, and as long as he opened a few stores in Haisha, he would be able to make a lot of money. Wang Boyan had never left the island. At that time, he was just a fishmonger who led the villagers to collect fish. But even if you don’t understand anything. He still chose to trust Wang Hu's judgment and gave all the public deposits of the tribe and the gold, silver and jewelry stolen from the Portuguese to Wang Hu. It can be said that if Wang Hu failed. Then he, as the clan leader, would have to go to Shenhai to apologize. It was just the beginning of 2000, and that money was enough to buy a building in the center of Haisha. Fortunately, Wang Hu did not let him down. It took him only three years to prove himself, and he even wanted to move the entire Wang family ancestral temple to Haisha. But Wang Boyan refused, claiming that this was the root of their Wang family and he had to protect it. (End of this chapter)
