Chapter 370 Zhu Lin’s New Choice
In the morning, facing the rising sun, Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng walked out of the Shen family courtyard.

During breakfast in the morning, Shen Yuchuan explained in detail to the three people some of the relationships in the city government, so that Shen Juncheng had a general understanding.

After finishing his talk, Shen Yuchuan hurried to work, while Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng had nothing to do in Shen's house, so after finishing their meal, they came out.

"By the way, Jun Cheng, come with me!"

After coming out, Li Changhe thought for a while, took Shen Juncheng back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, and then took out a bunch of keys from home.

Then he searched on the key and found one.

"The Municipal Bureau is on Qianmen Street, right?"

Li Changhe asked Shen Juncheng at this time.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Shen Juncheng asked with some confusion.

"go!"

Li Changhe took the key and then went to Qianmen Street with Shen Juncheng.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of a courtyard in an alley next to Qianmen Street.

Walking forward, Li Changhe took out the key and opened the door.

After entering, there is a courtyard with one entrance.

"Changhe, here?"

"I bought it!"

"Before, many families wanted to go abroad and resell their houses. I bought it."

Li Changhe said with a chuckle.

In fact, since the end of last year, private house transactions have become a legal matter.

There are many reasons, one of the more outrageous reasons is that the country has no money.

The reason for this situation is the refund policy.

In the process of returning the house, there is a rather ridiculous priority, which is overseas relations.

That’s right, those with overseas connections will be given priority for withdrawal.

But it just so happens that these people had a miserable life in the past few years. After getting their houses back, some of them immediately ran abroad, while others, because of the changes in previous years, had already settled abroad and were unwilling to return to Beijing.

So these people did something in unison, which was to start selling their houses.

At the beginning, they did not dare to buy and sell privately and only dared to sell the houses to the state. The state had standards for purchasing houses, not by square meter but by the number of rooms, and the price was 200 yuan per room.

So if your yard has several rooms, you can sell it based on 200 multiplied by that number.

In other words, if sold to the government, a courtyard house with six or seven rooms would only be sold for a thousand yuan, but even for that, people still have to queue up.

One is that there are too many houses for sale, and you have to queue up.

The second is that the Housing Authority has no money, so it will not collect unlimited amounts. You can only buy it if you have money. If you don’t have money, your house will just sit there.

But many people cannot afford it, because houses are not free.

In this day and age, you have to repair your house regularly and pay the repair fees. On top of that, there is also property tax.

That’s right, private houses now have property taxes, which are also collected per room, about 2 cents per room per month, and are paid every three months.

Therefore, if the house cannot be sold and is kept in hand, the owner will continue to lose money.

In this situation, some people began to boldly engage in private house sales, and the Housing Authority could not do anything about it, after all, you had no money even if they sold it to you.

So starting this year, the state issued a notice to allow private house sales and registration again.

So Li Changhe had the bunch of keys in his hand.

These were all collected by Zhang Shiqi for him. Some of them were considered good houses. They were empty when the transaction took place, so Li Changhe could arrange them at will.

But some of them were actually lost money after being acquired, and many were transactions based on favors. Although the ownership of those houses belonged to Li Changhe, there were still people living in them.

And it’s not illegal residence, it’s legitimate residence allocated by the state.

This is really a scam. They have permanent residency rights and you can't evict them.

Every year, the Housing Authority pays rent to the homeowner on a regular basis, and the homeowner is responsible for repairs and paying taxes, so overall, this type of house is currently a loss for the homeowner.

However, although Zhang Shiqi made Li Changhe lose money on this kind of house, he did not make Li Changhe lose money on other old items.

For any house of this kind, basically the other party is giving Li Changhe a good item as a treasure, which he wants to exchange for money.

So Li Changhe didn't care. Even if there were repair costs every year, it would only be two or three hundred yuan, which was nothing to him.

Moreover, many of them are in good locations, but they may be demolished in ten or eight years.

Li Changhe collected a lot now, but he actually knew that he couldn't keep much. Once the construction of the capital city started, most of them would probably be demolished, so he didn't repair many of them and just left them there.

However, he thought the place where Shen Juncheng lived was in a good location, so he asked someone to renovate it.

"You will be transferred here in a few days. The dormitory environment is not good. My room is vacant. You can live here and help it gain popularity."

"If Men San'er, Lao Jiu and the others come over later, we'll use it as a base for you guys."

"I'll give you two more keys later. It will be convenient if you need to spy on a place or perform a mission in the future.

Shen Juncheng originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the large bunch of keys that Li Changhe had just taken out, he was too lazy to refuse.

There are so many houses, it would be a waste if you don’t live in them.

What's more, he knew that the dormitory in his unit was not very good. After all, accommodation in public units was tight these days, and it was good enough to have a bed to live in.

So instead of squeezing into a dormitory, it’s better to have a separate small courtyard here.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. It's just right. It's more comfortable than living in the dormitory."

Shen Juncheng took the key and put it in his pocket.

"Then call Men San'er and the others to come and clean you up. I'm leaving first!"

Li Changhe yawned and felt a little sleepy.

I slept in the same room with Shen Juncheng last night. The boy snored so loudly that Li Changhe couldn't sleep well the whole night.

He was too lazy to clean up for Shen Juncheng at this moment, so he went home to catch up on his sleep.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll let San'er and the others clean up."

All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and the two of them had talked about everything that needed to be talked about last night. Li Changhe gave Shen Juncheng some appropriate suggestions, and Shen Juncheng also had some ideas for the next work.

As for any higher-level relationship, Li Changhe did not tell him. After all, even if he told Shen Juncheng now, he was not at that level yet.

Besides, it is useless to rely solely on relationships for support.

In Li Changhe's opinion, the real use of relationships is to give you a chance to start over, so that you won't be brought to ruin because of a mistake.

But the same thing goes, if you are a hopeless case, then no matter how good the relationship is, it will be useless.

After returning home, Li Changhe took a comfortable nap.

When he woke up and walked out of the house, he smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.

"Hmm? Have you finished your exams?"

At the kitchen door, Li Changhe looked at Zhu Lin who was busy inside and asked in surprise.

"I'm done with the exam. I'll be back in the afternoon and see you're sleeping."

"Help me tomorrow and get the luggage back."

"By the way, you were right about Lao Zhang's matter."

"Did the higher-ups let him go on?"

Li Changhe asked with a smile at this time.

Zhu Lin came out with a plate of food, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "I don't know the details yet." "But after I went back, the school talked to Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang took the initiative to write another application."

"Mr. Zhang came back and said that the school didn't say that he wouldn't be allowed to come next semester, and asked him to wait for further notice."

"It seems that the school has sent another inquiry letter to the Ministry of Culture. We still have to see what it means."

"Old Chen said that this is exactly the same as your estimate. It's basically a safe bet for Old Zhang to stay."

The two of them talked while eating.

Li Changhe nodded, took a few bites, and then put down his chopsticks again.

"what happened?"

Seeing Li Changhe put down his chopsticks, Zhu Lin was a little surprised.

Is this because you don’t like to eat?

"I have to go to Hong Kong Island again in a few days."

Li Changhe thought for a moment and said to Zhu Lin.

"You have to go again so soon?"

Zhu Lin was a little surprised. He had only been back for a month and was going back again?
"Wells has already bought the Bosak Group. The next step is to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to develop the textile industry in China."

"In addition, there is the matter of the film and television base. In Hong Kong Island, I have to arrange a team to negotiate with the Ministry of Culture here, and then go to Shanghai to negotiate and sign an agreement with them."

"In the past few months, I have asked the people there to help me recruit people. There are some high-end positions that require me to go back and check!"

Li Changhe said helplessly, apart from anything else, building a team is indeed the top priority.

It is easy to find people at the bottom, but some elites have to be poached by headhunters. After all, talents don’t fall from the sky.

"Do you want to go to Hong Kong Island with me during your summer vacation?"

At this time, Li Changhe thought that maybe he could take Zhu Lin to Hong Kong Island. After all, it was summer vacation and she had nothing to do.

It was inconvenient for Zhu Lin to go out before, but now it’s okay. Li Changhe’s own company can send an invitation and take her out.

When Zhu Lin heard this, a look of interest appeared on her face. Go to Hong Kong Island with Changhe?
But after thinking about it, she shook her head.

"No, you still have to protect your identity now, it's not appropriate for me to go."

"And in two days, Lao Tian and I will go to the Beijing Film Studio to do post-production for The Wrangler, and then the movie will be released."

“I can only breathe a sigh of relief after I finish The Horse Wrangler.”

"After all, a movie is considered complete only when we are familiar with all the aspects from shooting to release."

"But Changhe, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Li Changhe looked at his wife curiously.

Zhu Lin said softly: "Changhe, I've graduated and I don't want to go to the Beijing Film Studio."

"The main reason is that filming is too tiring. There are too many things to take care of, and it takes several months to shoot. You are busy yourself, and if I am busy like this, we won't see each other for several months."

"Besides, didn't you say that we would have a child after I graduated?"

"If that happens, we won't be able to make a movie!"

"So, I think there's no point in going to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation."

After Zhu Lin finished speaking, she looked at Li Changhe seriously, mainly because he was also a little nervous.

She felt that Li Changhe had been paving the way for her, but now she didn't want to go anymore.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's just a way to get a degree and change your identity. You don't have to be a director."

"Filming nowadays is indeed tiring. I asked you to film The Horse Herder just to give you a feel for it."

"After all, if you study directing but don't make a movie, then it would be a waste of your time."

"Now that we've finished filming, it doesn't matter whether we film it in the future or not."

I work so hard just to make my wife live a happy life.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you go to the Beijing Film Studio or not.

"I just feel like you're losing out. You bought so much equipment and registered a film company in Hong Kong Island."

Zhu Lin said with some emotion.

"What's the loss? If you stop filming, there are still Lao Tian, ​​Lao Chen, and Zhang Yimou. They may also become directors in the future. It's not a loss."

"Besides, film companies will have other uses in the future. As the country gradually liberalizes, film studios may also transform."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"By the way, if you don't go to the Beijing Film Studio, where do you want to go?"

"Or how about I put your name on the film company, which is equivalent to working for a foreign company?"

Now some foreign companies have also started recruiting workers in the country, offering ridiculously high salaries.

Zhu Lin shook her head: "No, that would be even more meaningless."

"Teacher Yang asked me to join CCTV after graduation. What do you think?"

"Going to CCTV?"

Li Changhe thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Go if you want to."

"In fact, CCTV is better than Beijing Film Studio in my opinion."

"In the long run, the development of Beijing Film Studio is going down, but CCTV is different. Its development is going up."

"In the future, more and more households will have televisions, and television stations will become more and more important, especially national television stations like CCTV."

"In addition, the TV station will also develop another industry in the future, which is TV dramas."

"In Hong Kong Island, many TV dramas have caused as much sensation as movies, and some are even more popular."

Zhu Lin nodded. "Yes, that's what the teacher said. This year she is planning to shoot a TV series based on the stories in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio."

"I thought about it and decided that CCTV would be a good choice. It's also close to me and I can stay in Beijing on weekdays. I can just go to get off work and get off work on time."

Before today, Zhu Lin had been very hesitant.

But when Li Changhe said he was leaving, the balance in her heart was immediately broken.

If this movie hadn't been made, she would have gone to Hong Kong Island with Li Changhe.

But now I have to work on "The Horseman".

If he continues to be a film director in the future, the couple will be busy with their own things. How long will it take for them to see each other?

Thinking of this, Zhu Lin felt that it would be better not to go to the Beijing Film Studio and it would be better to go to CCTV.

At least at CCTV, I can go to get off work and leave on time every day and don’t have to run around. I can just stay at home to look after the children and wait for Li Changhe to come home.

"Just make up your mind. It's still early."

"You are only sophomores this year, and there are still two years before your junior and senior years. Even if you are assigned, it will be in 1982. Don't be in a hurry to think about the long term now."

"The situation in the country will change every year, and you can go wherever you want."

Li Changhe smiled and said to Zhu Lin to comfort her.

Zhu Lin nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's right."

You haven't even graduated yet, why are you thinking about doing something so early?

After dinner, the two of them didn't go out for a walk again.

Knowing that Li Changhe would be leaving in a few days, the two of them naturally had to cherish the present. After all, there was not much time left for them to spend together as a couple.
