Although he didn't hit himself, he already felt desperate just looking at it.

Of course, more ordinary people still pay attention to this war with the mentality of watching the excitement, lamenting the advancement of Western countries' weapons and war concepts.

Listening to his uncle's talk, Lin Chaoyang felt that this was probably the barrier between the people of Yanjing and the people of Shanghai.

In the past two days in Shanghai, all the discussions he heard were about the opening of the Shanghai Stock Exchange at the Pujiang Hotel. Few people cared about the Gulf War.

When the car arrived at Xiaoliubukou Alley, it was dinner time in the evening, and the copper hot pot was already prepared at home.

The whole family was waiting for Lin Chaoyang and his wife to come back.

"What you are doing is too grand!" Lin Chaoyang teased as he entered the room.

"Isn't this a welcome to the wealthy man's return home in fine clothes?" Tao Yumo said, half jokingly, half sarcastically.

"If you want to return home in glory, it has to be you, Mr. Tao. You are now the 'Queen of Video Games' in Hong Kong!"

The "Queen of Video Games" was of course a name coined by Lin Chaoyang, and it immediately aroused Tao Yumo's desire to win.

Just as he was racking his brains to think of how to respond, Lin Chaoyang asked Tao Xiwen again:

"Have you read your sister-in-law's interview in the newspaper? You have to recite the whole text!"

Tao Xiwen was laughing and joking, while Tao Yumo rushed up with teeth and claws bared, "I'll fight you!"

Tao Yushu stopped her, "Okay. Why are you talking nonsense with him? You are asking for trouble."

"Humph!" Tao Yumo snorted coldly and generously stopped arguing with Lin Chaoyang.

"Come on, come on, let's eat quickly." Lin Erchun asked everyone to sit down.

Lin and Tao's family, more than ten people in total, sat down at two tables, one for each pot.

The wind was howling outside the window and the cold was biting, but inside it was as warm as spring. The bottom of the boiling copper hot pot was filled with xenon and argon water vapor, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Pick up thin slices of mutton, dip them in boiling water for a few seconds, take them out at the most precise heat, dip them in a seasoning bowl, and then put them in your mouth.

Lin Chaoyang squinted his eyes, with a satisfied look on his face, "It has to be this one!"

"Uncle, garlic!" Tao Xiwen handed over the garlic with great discernment.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and bit into a clove of sugar garlic and asked, "How does it feel to go to school in Shuimu?"

"fine."

Tao Xiwen took the college entrance examination this summer and was admitted to the Computer Science Department of Shuimu with excellent results.

Tao Yumo once opposed his choice on the grounds that his family was from Yan University, and his nephew going to Shuimu to go to school would be tantamount to surrendering to the enemy and treason.

Her words aroused strong dissatisfaction from Tao Yucheng and a death stare from Tao Yushu at the time, and she had to take it back in the end.

Of course "surrendering to the enemy and treason" is a joke. Tao Xiwen wanted to join Mizuki mainly because he wanted to study computer science. The background of the computer department at Yanda is still a little worse than Mizuki.

Although his family felt a little sorry, they respected his choice in the end.

When Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu got married, Tao Xiwen was still in kindergarten, and now he is in college. People can't help feeling that time flies so fast.

After chatting for a while, Lin Chaoyang asked with concern: "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"I never thought about it. My immediate goal is to complete all four years of university courses and then apply to study abroad." Tao Xiwen said clearly.

"Study abroad!" Lin Chaoyang groaned.

Zhao Li said: "Today's students, eight out of ten are planning to study abroad. Yanda University currently offers some kind of English cram school, specifically to improve their English for those who want to study abroad."

"Mom, those are TOEFL, IELTS and GRE." Tao Xiwen corrected.

"Isn't that still English? By the way, there was a teacher in the school who was punished for running a private school and teaching classes. What was his name?"

Zhao Li touched her husband next to her with her arm, and Tao Yucheng said:

"My name is Yu Minhong, a young teacher in the Spanish Department. He is also unlucky and competes with the school for business.

But I heard it’s really profitable, and I can earn thousands of dollars a month, so I want to do it.”

At this time, the monthly salary of young teachers at Yan University is only more than 100 yuan, which is dozens of times their salary.

Who can not be moved?

Tao Yumo laughed and said: "With your level, you still need to give me TOEFL supplements?"

"Isn't it just English, or something like that-"

The brother and sister had a habitual quarrel, and Tao's father said: "With advanced technology and advanced teaching concepts abroad, it is right to study abroad, but after studying, you can't just not come back like some people do."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Tao's father's expression was noncommittal. Times have changed and people's hearts are unpredictable.

In the past ten years, more and more people have gone abroad to study. He believes that there are not a few people who go abroad with the idea of ​​returning home after completing their studies and building the motherland.

But facts have proven that not everyone can resist the corrosion of the colorful world. It should be said that the vast majority of people cannot resist it.

"Let me tell you, the school shouldn't run this kind of supplementary class. Isn't this just waiting to send all the students abroad? Just for a small profit." Tao Yucheng said.

"If the school doesn't do it, others have to do it. The main thing is people's hearts. In the final analysis, there is still a gap in development. If you go there, you won't want to come back. What can you do?"

Seeing the brother and sister Tao Yucheng discussing seriously, Lin Chaoyang smiled and said:

"It is a reality that there is a gap in development. However, there will be many development opportunities in the country in the future. Those who are determined to break out in the world will still come back."

"There are too few people like this."

"Less is better than none!"

"Brother-in-law, you are so optimistic."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said to Tao Xiwen: "If Xiwen comes back after completing his studies, I will sponsor you with a sum of money! Whether it is to start a business or to settle down, it can be anything."

Sister-in-law Zhao Li quickly said: "This is impossible."

Tao Yumo joked: "Brother-in-law, you are trying to lure someone for profit!"

Then he said to Zhao Li, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite to him. He and my sister are now two wealthy landlords!"

Tao Yucheng took this opportunity to add insult to injury and said, "Aren't you also a wealthy landlord now?"

After Tao Yumo was interviewed, she specially sent the newspaper back to Yanjing, which made her famous in front of her family. Now everyone in her family knows that the game company she runs makes hundreds of millions a year.

"How much money do I have?"

Tao Yushu also said: "It's quite a lot. You make so much money a year and don't spend it. You won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"

Being picked up by his brothers and sisters, Tao Yumo forced a smile and said, "How is that possible? If Xiwen really returns to China, I will be his angel investor."

Tao Yucheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Son! You heard everything. Remember your sister-in-law's words and you must come back!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Tao Xiwen said with a smile.

Tao Yumo muttered: "If you don't do it if you are rich, you will do it to me who has no money!"

A few people made jokes, the atmosphere became cheerful, and the faces of several elderly people in the family were full of smiles.

The next morning, it was a rare reunion and the family went shopping in Xidan together.

After the great inflation in the past few years, domestic price increases this year have generally returned to normal.

But the problem that comes with it is the continued slump in consumption. The main reason for this situation is that ordinary people have been frightened by the soaring prices in the past few years.

Beginning to hold on to money and be reluctant to buy, bank deposits surged, but the consumer market was sluggish.

However, in time for the Chinese New Year, all kinds of shops on the streets have become prosperous, and there are crowds of people everywhere in Xidan.

When passing by Xidan Shopping Mall, the signboard of "Asia-Europe Clothing City" is still so conspicuous.

"Du Feng, this clothing city, is really making money every day!" Tao Yushu said with emotion when walking into the Asia-Europe Garment City.

It is about to be the fourth year since its opening. Business in the Asia-Europe Garment City seems to be better than before. Customers are rubbing shoulders and there is a steady flow of people.

"It's no good, there are so many fakes out there now. They are a bit too expensive, but the quality and service are good," said Zhao Li.

In 1990, counterfeit and shoddy products had become a hot topic in China, and ordinary people complained about it.

In order to purify the market and boost consumer confidence, the country is determined to crack down on counterfeit and shoddy goods.

During the crackdown that lasted for more than half a year, Wenzhou businessmen became famous. They used all possible deception methods to make the government angry.

Even in May, the GWY General Office unprecedentedly issued a separate document specifically for a town like Liushi in Yueqing County, Wenzhou - "Notice on the Investigation of the Production and Sales of Unlicensed and Substandard Products in Wenzhou Yueqing County and Recommendations for Handling it."

But throughout the country, Liushi Town is not the only one committing fraud.

In this nationwide crackdown, thousands of counterfeiting companies were investigated and punished, which effectively curbed the spread of counterfeiting. However, it is impossible to eradicate the phenomenon of counterfeiting and shoddy products.

"There are too many lies. If you are more truthful, the people will lift you up!" Lin Chaoyang said.

"you do not say."

The family chatted and went shopping, and each bought a set of clothes amidst the crowd.

No one is short of clothes, but for the New Year, there is always a new set of clothes.

Not two days after the bustling New Year's Eve, news came from Shanghai that Lin's first investment in Pudong had been received.

It happened that the Shanghai authorities had to report to the elderly on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so they decided to schedule the press conference of Lin's investment on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
