"Ah, six yuan per square meter, that won't do, that won't do, that's too much of a rip-off, the cost is only four yuan."
"Brother Da Lei, that's not how the cost is calculated. You're responsible for everything. If anything goes wrong during construction, it's your fault. You have to bear the risk.
I am only responsible for collecting the house, and you are responsible for everything else. I will come to you if there are any problems.
The cost you bear is two yuan per square meter. I heard from Aunt Zhou that you like building houses. You can go out and build houses like this in the future."
Zhang Dalei touched his head and said, "Xiangnan, you're at a disadvantage. No one in our town builds like this."
"Yes, there will be. Even if the town doesn't have it, the county will have it. The people in the county have to go to work every day, so how can they have the time to supervise the construction of the house myself?"
"Then give me five yuan per square meter. I can't make too much money from you, or my mom will scold me."
They are all family. Zhang Dalei regards Xiangnan as his own sister. Xiang Jing used to have a good relationship with him. Now that Xiang Jing is gone, he has to take care of Xiangnan.
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Okay, that's five dollars, but if you go out to build a house, it won't be so cheap, and you don't have to worry about making money from others.
The risk you take is huge, but making two yuan per square meter is worth it."
Zhang Dalei nodded innocently. "Then I'll go get some people to start construction tomorrow. It doesn't look like it's raining these days, so brick houses build quickly. I'll have them help you build it as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll draw a blueprint and tell you how to build it."
After Zhang Dalei left, Xiangnan sat at the table and drew a blueprint. While drawing, he said to Huo De, "Brother Huo, I want to build a toilet in the bedroom. Is that okay?"
Huo De was stunned: "Won't it stink?"
Nowadays, toilets are all pits connected to the cesspool, which is very smelly. How can people live in them if they are built in the bedroom?
"I saw a porcelain toilet pit in the department store. Let's run a big pipe to it so we can flush it every day and it won't stink. We can also build a bathroom there.
Of course, the toilet is not in the same room as the bedroom, but two rooms, but they are both covered in one big room, so that you don’t have to go far to go to the toilet at night.”
The main reason is that people nowadays live together as a whole family, especially when there are three young children. They will grow up slowly, and it will be very inconvenient for them to get up to go to the toilet at night.
Running so far to go to the toilet in the middle of winter is freezing.
"If you want to build something like this, just give it a try." Huo De felt that Xiang Nan had a lot of ideas. What she said might not be impossible, it just cost a little more money.
Xiangnan has made up her mind that she doesn't want to fetch water from the well every day. She wants to connect a water pipe and bring it directly into her home. There are water pumps already, but they are a little more expensive.
Having running water makes it more convenient to work in the workshop. Otherwise, you have to fetch water for everything, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Xiangnan drew a blueprint based on her own ideas. Zhang Dalei should know how to build it. The key thing for her was to talk to Zhang Dalei about the laying of the water supply.
Her family has a well, but it is next to the current house and a bit far from the newly built house. It would be a waste to lay a water pipe there.
So we need to dig a well near the new house.
Xiangnan told Zhang Dalei about his idea, and Zhang Dalei was a little shocked: "How much does this cost? Those water pipes are very expensive."
Today's water pipes are all made of iron, which is strong and durable, but very expensive and prone to rust.
"It's expensive, but there's nothing we can do about it. Connecting to tap water will make production in the workshop more convenient. Water will be readily available when you turn on the faucet."
"It's really convenient. I see they have faucets in the county town. You can just turn on the faucet at home and get water. That's so convenient."
Zhang Dalei didn't expect Xiangnan would bring such a faucet to their Daxiang Village.
Other villages also have small buildings and a few brick houses, but no one has thought of installing faucets.
Xiangnan is really bold.
Xiangnan didn't just think about it, she really did it. She took Huo Yun and Li You to the county that day.
I first went to the First Market and found the market management, who asked me to rent out all the remaining storefronts.
Market management manager Lin Tian was a little dumbfounded. How could anyone be so rich as to rent all the other storefronts in their big market?
"I'll make a phone call and ask for instructions!"
No one can rent so many spaces at once. If she rents most of them, the whole market will have to be named after her.
The question is whether this guy can afford the rent. The lease is for ten years. There is no business in this market now. Why does she want to rent so many storefronts?
He was actually very happy that someone had rented out the unwanted storefront, but the problem was that it also came with risks. What if it was someone who was just fooling around...
Xiangnan is young, and Huo Yun and Li You, who he brought with him, are also young men who have just reached adulthood, so Lin Tian had to be cautious.
When Chen Xin brought Xiang Nan to rent a storefront that day, it was not Lin Tian who received her.
Lin Tian made a phone call, and the other party was very happy: "If she wants to rent, then rent it, but tell her that if she can't pay the rent, it will be a breach of contract and she will have to pay double the compensation. Just let her sign the agreement."
Anyway, the market has been built at a huge cost but no one wants it. If there is someone willing to take the blame, let her do it.
Lin Tian kindly reminded Xiang Nan, "There's not much business in this market right now. The higher-ups are all worried. If you can't pay the rent next year, you'll have to pay double..."
"I know this. I have confidence in your market. Even if the higher-ups are all worried, they will definitely find a solution." Xiangnan asked.
"Of course, everyone is trying to find a solution. This market was built with the support of the county government, and all parties are trying to find a way to develop the market." Lin Tian said with a smile.
He has already reminded everyone that needs to be reminded, but the higher-ups are indeed trying to find a solution.
Xiangnan nodded and said, "I am also optimistic about this market. I borrowed money to rent a storefront. In fact, many people are reluctant to set up stalls in the market and would rather set up stalls outside. It's simply because of the stall fee.
If the market is willing to do so, they can waive stall fees for a year and they will naturally come.”
The storefronts in the market are not the most important things; the most important things are the stalls, a long row of mud blocks. Just because they have a shed, they charge a stall fee of one or two yuan a month.
Farmers who come from the countryside to the county town to sell vegetables will definitely not be willing to pay one or two yuan unless you let them understand the benefits of the stall fee.
As long as it is free, everyone will come. Here you don’t need to hold an umbrella in the rain, protect yourself from the sun in the summer, or endure the cold in the winter. Anyway, you have to sell vegetables, so you will definitely sell them in the most comfortable place.
When everyone thinks it’s free, they will all rush to grab a stall. Those who can’t get one will become very impatient and will think about renting a stall for a dollar or two for more convenience.
The hot summer is coming soon. Who would want to sell things under the scorching sun between ten and four o'clock?
Even if I am willing to sell, no one is willing to buy it in the scorching sun.
The market opportunity is coming soon, it just depends on whether the people in the market are willing to take the loss first.
Xiangnan signed the contract with Lin Tian and went to Chen Xin with a large bundle of keys. She also brought fifty kilograms of dried bean curd sheets today.
I left a few pounds of bean curd sheets at Chen Xin's place last time, but they've all been sold out.
Xiangnan was surprised: "There were so few people visiting the market, and yet it was sold out."
