Qian Weiguo spent two days sightseeing in Shanghai, and then, together with Lu Shurui, took their four children to visit West Lake.

When they left, Yu Yin gave each of them twenty yuan as a travel fund to buy something they liked. The children cheered with joy, knowing they wouldn't have to use their own savings.

Two grown men, with four children, went out to have some fun.

Yu Yin is very busy at home too!

"Brother Liang, is there any news?"

Yu Yin was off today, but after receiving Liang Chao's letter, she rushed over.

"Yes, there's an old factory in Pudong. It used to be a parts factory. Later, a new factory was built, and the old one has been abandoned ever since. I've been there. It covers a large area, and the buildings are old and unusable. Many of them have collapsed."

"Where is the property right located? Is it still a parts manufacturer?"

Yu Yin's main concern is the issue of property rights. If the property rights of the place she bought with her own money turn out to be unclear, that would be a real problem.

“I’ve inquired. The property rights belong to the parts factory, all the materials are complete, and the ownership can be transferred.”

Liang Chao and Yu Yin have worked together for so long that he knows what she cares about and has found out everything.

Is there any progress on the wasteland issue?

“There are currently two places. One is near Aunt Hu’s village, where there is a large area of ​​wasteland, connected to several barren hills. In the past, it was a collective, and this land did not belong to any village; it was a no-man’s-land.”

Liang Chao had inspected the area and found that the land had not been distributed to the people. Instead, they had allocated land to individual households, which consisted of several hundred acres of existing land. The geology was not good and it was not suitable for growing crops.

Is there anything else?

"There's also a piece of land in the suburbs of Pudong that hasn't been allocated to individual households; it's collectively owned by the government. The soil is good. It's quite large, probably several hundred acres, and we can go there to attract investment."

Yu Yin mentally considered the places Liang Chao mentioned: the wasteland could be used to raise cattle and sheep, the one in Pudong could be used to build a farm, and the old factory buildings could be left on the land.

Attracting investment is receiving increasing attention, and governments are eager to bring in more funds to develop themselves.

Yu Yin had previously calculated her finances. Over the past two years, after deducting the money she earned from the dried goods store for buying a house, she still had nearly 400,000 yuan left.

Although the family's daily expenses are not small, Yu Yin now has three houses for rent: the storefront she bought at the beginning, her grandparents' house, and the two-story house she used to live in. The rent from the three houses combined is close to one hundred.

The biggest expense for the family is Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu's salary, forty yuan each, but the family is self-sufficient in many things. For the past two years, the land in the space has been cultivated, so they don't need to buy grain, and they have countless eggs and so many chicks.

Yu Yin couldn't even count how many chickens were in the space; there were probably several thousand. The eggs were countless, stored in large baskets.

"Brother Liang, let's go take a look at that old factory first and see how much it costs to buy it."

"Okay, I'll give you some instructions, then we'll go."

The two of them took the bus there; it was too hot to ride bicycles that day.

Upon arriving at the parts factory, Liang Chao lit a cigarette for the old gatekeeper, chatted with him briefly, and explained his purpose. The gatekeeper knew that their factory was selling its old factory building, as the factory was waiting for the money to buy new equipment.

Yu Yin and Lu Shurui were taken to the factory director's office. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they got straight to the point.

"Director Niu, we wanted to ask what your expected selling price is, so we can estimate our own funds and see if we can raise the money."

"Our factory wants to buy new machines, but we don't have enough funds, so we thought of selling the old factory building. You should have seen it; the factory occupies a lot of land, more than ten acres."

Yu Yin had already visited the site before coming here. It occupied a considerable area, but the factory buildings were severely damaged, and the walls were incomplete, with several gaps. It was truly just a piece of land with no usable space.

"Director Niu, your factory occupies a large area, but the buildings inside are severely damaged and unusable. Even a lot of the courtyard wall has collapsed. It's just a piece of land, not a factory anymore."

Yu Yin refused to budge. Her own funds were limited; she could only acquire a maximum of two projects this year. She had her eye on this factory building; the location was good, and the area was large enough for her future use.

Yu Yin and Factory Manager Niu negotiated and finally settled on a price of 200,000 yuan. They agreed to transfer the ownership the day after tomorrow. Factory Manager Niu saw Yu Yin off, feeling exhausted. This was the bottom price they had set internally.

"Brother Liang, let's go take another look at that wasteland near Uncle Hu's house."

"Okay, let's go, let's go over there and take a bus. There are minibuses, no need to transfer."

The two of them traveled a long way to see the wasteland again. It was quite large and could be used to raise cattle and sheep, and grow some pasture.

This land is adjacent to farmland and has sufficient water resources, making it a good choice. After reviewing it, Yu Yin did not contact the local government; she needed to investigate further.

The two returned to the dry goods store, and it was almost dark.

"Brother Liang, that's all for today. I'll inquire about the factory building again tomorrow. If there are no problems, we can go and transfer the ownership the day after tomorrow."

Yu Yin went home. She was exhausted today; all that running around was tiring.

Only Yu Yin and her grandparents were left at home; the children and Lu Shurui had gone to visit West Lake. After finishing her meal, Yu Yin went upstairs to rest.

The next day at noon, Yu Yin went to the housing management office to find Jiang Peng and inquire about the transfer of ownership of the old factory building.

Jiang Peng told her that if the old factory building belonged to the factory, the ownership could be transferred directly. However, if the paperwork was insufficient when she went to the housing management office, they would not process the transfer.

After understanding the situation, Yu Yin had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

After thanking Brother Jiang, Yu Yin felt relieved. That evening, she counted out 200,000 yuan from the money in her storage space; tomorrow, this money would no longer belong to her.

When they arrived at the housing management office in Pudong, they waited for a while before Director Niu and his team arrived.

The group entered the housing management office, where the staff verified all the documents. Yu Yin confirmed that there were no other economic disputes or loans related to the factory building, and then paid the money to transfer the ownership.

After leaving the housing management office, Yu Yin had an additional property ownership certificate and related documents.

When Lu Shurui returned, Yu Yin had already taken care of everything. She had even contacted Huang Qiang, asking him to reinforce the courtyard wall with old bricks from the collapsed factory building. This was to prevent unauthorized personnel from coming over, even though there weren't many people around in the area, it was just in case.

The children bought many small items and gifts for Yu Yin, her great-grandparents, and Grandpa and Grandma Hu. Qian Weiguo also made a decision, but he still needed Yu Yin's support.

Everyone who received the gifts was delighted; the children had carefully chosen them according to each person's preferences. In particular, Manman brought back a handful of lotus seeds for her great-grandmother, saying that they could sprout in a water tank and grow into lotus flowers.

Yu Yin was happy at this moment. Her child was growing up well, had a grateful heart, respected the elderly and cared for the young, and had sound values. This made her happier than when she bought the large piece of land. Everything she did, besides fulfilling her own wishes, was mostly for her child.
