After Marrying the Officer

Meng Xingmang spoke about improving life, which meant dining out more often, like at their "Youwei" restaurant.

So, she advocated for quickly opening more branches to seize the market early on.

Xia Chuyi laughed again and said, "We Chinese have always been particularly obsessive about housing."

"Once people actually have money, do you think they'll want to hurry up and buy houses?"

"And then, when many people buy houses, wouldn't that cause the house prices to soar?" Chuyi continued, "Moreover, in response to the earlier national call, our generation has many families with numerous siblings."

"With more people, naturally, there will be a higher demand for houses." Her eyes clearly carried a profound meaning as she said the last sentence.

Therefore, this was the best era for making money and also the best era for acquiring properties.

Hearing Xia Chuyi's analysis, Meng Xingmang's eyes lit up with admiration as she looked toward Xia Chuyi.

"You're making a lot of sense, indeed!" Meng Xingmang nodded and said, "Then we should speed up the opening of new branches!"

"Accumulate as much initial capital as possible to buy more properties!"

"Eh, right, Chuyi, if we save enough money, couldn't we just build houses to sell?" Meng Xingmang suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "If there are many buyers, wouldn't we earn even more if we became sellers?"

"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was momentarily surprised by Meng Xingmang's grand ambitions.

Xia Chuyi shook her head and seriously said to Meng Xingmang, "Xing Mang, actually, the real estate business, apart from requiring capital, also needs connections and relationships. In short, it's not an easy business to engage in."

Meng Xingmang nodded upon hearing this and said, "Yes, but don't we have connections? Your significant other, Commander Huo!"

"At the opening of 'Youwei's' branch, so many people came to support us. I think these should all be considered as our connections and relationships, right?"

Xia Chuyi almost choked a bit.

True to Meng Xingmang's character... quick-witted... and also gutsy... It is said, the bolder the people, the larger the properties.

Xia Chuyi shook her head helplessly and said, "Let's focus on the restaurant business first."

The real estate market was indeed going to be very prosperous, but it would ultimately decline because of saturation.

On the other hand, the restaurant industry, no matter the era, was always one of the economic giants and would thrive for centuries.

Moreover, this was Xia Chuyi's initial industry of interest.

Seeing Xia Chuyi like this, Meng Xingmang immediately showed a trace of regret.

However, Meng Xingmang quickly adjusted her mood and clenched her fist, saying to Xia Chuyi, "Alright, then let's accelerate the process of opening new branches."

"We must outpace the growth rate of housing prices with our sales!"

Xia Chuyi burst out laughing and said, "You don't have to be too anxious; the housing prices in the coming years probably won't rise too quickly."

"It's just a matter of being prepared."

Real estate prices wouldn't start skyrocketing for another decade or so, so there was no need for them to rush.

Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and then said, "However, as the economy recovers, surely more and more people will pay attention to this sector."

"So, good locations and good properties will become increasingly difficult to purchase."

"From this standpoint, the earlier we take advantage of opportunities, the more profit we can make."

"So, when we open our stores, if we can buy the property, that would be best."
