Chapter 205: A Bit Like a Scam
Zhou Chenglei drove a motorcycle to take Jiang Xia to the agricultural machinery factory to buy a tractor.
The tractor had to be ordered, and it would not be available until the beginning of next spring, and a letter of introduction from the production team was required to order it.
Zhou Chenglei opened the letter, and the two of them paid three thousand yuan to order a tractor, which was also equipped with a plow. When the spring ploughing season came, they would no longer have to wait in line for the village tractor to plow the land.
Jiang Xia took the order and walked out of the farm machinery factory with Zhou Chenglei, smiling: "We now have our first four-wheeled vehicle in our lives!"
Jiang Xia never thought that the first car he would buy in his life would be a tractor.
I never thought that I would have a connection with tractors! This life is really a dream! Zhou Chenglei smiled and did not say that there would be four-wheeled vehicles soon.
The two of them rode a motorcycle around the city, and Zhou Chenglei drove to the east new district.
There is construction going on over there. Although it is desolate, it is the direction of future development.
Zhou Chenglei believes that this vibrant city will develop well in the future.
But there are really few commercial housing units nowadays. Apart from the last real estate project that had commercial housing units for sale, the only buildings that can be seen are privately built houses or welfare housing units, which are purchased for employees of various units.
Jiang Xia saw a building under construction near the dock, which looked like a market.
Jiang Xia pointed and asked, "Is the market being built there?"
“Yeah, the seafood market.”
"I wonder when the sale will start? Then we can buy some booths inside."
"Probably next year." Zhou Chenglei also wanted to buy it, so he stopped outside to take a look.
Seeing someone coming out, Jiang Xia asked, "Uncle, are they building a market here? Is it almost finished? Have they started selling?"
"How can it be that fast? The construction is not expected to be completed until next year, so you can't buy it yet."
"Oh, I see. Thank you!" Jiang Xia thanked him and drove away with Zhou Chenglei on a motorcycle.
The worker took one look at the motorcycles they were driving and thought: Rich people! Rich people have too much money to spend.
Everyone is used to buying seafood at the pier, which is fresh and convenient. Who would come to this market to buy and sell seafood? The fish sellers have to transport the fish here, isn't that troublesome? Besides, you have to pay for the stalls inside.
Only a fool would waste all this money to buy these stalls! Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei returned to the Donghu Garden they had visited last time.
This time I met the same manager as last time.
Li Zhihua also remembered Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia. After all, it had only been a short time since they met, and the couple's appearance was truly unforgettable.
Since they were able to come for the second time, it meant that the two of them were really sincere about buying the house. He smiled and said, "When I woke up today, I heard the call of the magpie, and I guessed that I would meet a distinguished person today. It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived. Comrades, we meet again!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Has the house in the community you mentioned last time been completed? Has it started to be sold?"
"It's finished, but we haven't officially started selling it yet. We're still selling houses and shops on the roadside, but it will be soon, and they'll be on sale on National Day."
When Zhou Chenglei heard about the shop, he asked, "How much is the shop for sale?"
"A shop costs 50,000 yuan, 50 square meters, with a loft. The loft is free and can be lived in. It's like having two floors."
"But now we only have one or two shops left in the corner. The location is too remote and not cost-effective."
"If you want to buy a shop, I suggest you buy one from the nearby seafood market. I can help you get it."
Jiang Xia glanced at Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei: "Is it the seafood market on Fuqiang Road?"
"Yes, that's it! It's not on sale yet, but if you trust me, I can buy it for you right now, and I'll give you the same price as our boss's relatives and friends. The stalls inside are only 2,800 each, and there are also shops with warehouses. The front is a shop, the back is a warehouse, and there is also a loft. They only cost 10,000 each and are 50 square meters. To be honest, I also bought a stall and a shop myself."
It was a fake, it was given to him by his brother-in-law! But of course you can't say that.
Jiang Xia: "We just went to see it, and the workers inside said it's not finished yet and hasn't started selling yet."
"Yes, it is not yet fully built. The market will not be completed and put into use until the end of next year, and it is estimated that it will not be sold until October next year. If you go there and ask the people there now, they will definitely say that it is not yet completed and has not started selling yet. However, it is available for sale now. Those who can buy it now are all related. They are all bought by the boss's relatives and friends. I can buy it. To be honest, my brother-in-law is one of the owners, including this building. My brother-in-law is also one of the owners."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Why does this tone sound so much like a scam?
However, the stalls and shops in that seafood market are definitely worth buying.
Jiang Xia knew that the seafood market would become a very famous seafood market with a large scale in the future.
Moreover, in the book, Zhou Chenglei did not buy a house in the city at the beginning. Instead, he bought ten stalls and two shops with warehouses in the first seafood market in the city.
Jiang Xia asked again: "Can I wait until next year when the seafood market stall opens for sale and then buy it from you?"
It will take another year to be completed, which is a bit long.

Li Zhihua: "Yes, but I dare say it will never be this price. By then, the stalls may cost 3,000 to 3,500 yuan each, and the shops with warehouses may cost 2,000 to 3,000 yuan each. Now the outermost shops have been built, and you can buy now to buy the best ones in the whole market. I don't know if there will be any left when the sale starts. Believe me, I can take you in now to see and choose! I bought one myself. It is definitely worth it!"
In the book, when Zhou Chenglei bought the stall at Dongcheng Seafood Market, it was indeed 3,000 yuan each. Others bought 3,300 yuan each, but he bought a lot and knew people, so he bought 3,000 yuan each. The store with a warehouse seemed to be 15,000 yuan each.
However, there were few people buying at the seafood market stall at the beginning, and it was not very busy at the beginning. After all, everyone was used to buying seafood at the dock.
Those shops with warehouses had no interest at the beginning, and only a few were sold. Later, the price dropped to 13,000 yuan, but no one bought any. Only Zhou Chenglei took the opportunity to buy three.
Everyone thought he was stupid! But a year later, the seafood market gradually became prosperous, and the price of the shops with warehouses rose to 20,000 yuan each, and many people rushed to buy them.
Later, the seafood market became more and more prosperous, and the stalls and shops became more and more expensive year by year, and the rent became higher and higher. By 2000, a stall was worth more than 100,000 yuan, and those shops with warehouses were worth millions of yuan each, and more than 100,000 yuan per square meter. Later, the price became more and more expensive, reaching a peak before the epidemic.
In the book, the salesperson who sold the shop to Zhou Chenglei seemed to be called Li Zhihua.
The comrade in front of me is Li Zhihua! Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei and said, "How about we go and look at the stalls in the seafood market? Why not buy a house first?"
If it's 2,800 each, buying ten would only be 28,000!
I can save two thousand dollars compared to buying it next year, which is almost enough to open a stall.
The most important thing is that this seafood market is very large, and it will be a very prosperous aquatic product wholesale market in the future.
Li Zhihua: "To be honest, if you want to buy a house, the houses in our community are expensive. They are all bought by compatriots from the other side of the sea. There are not many local people who buy them. You can actually buy some welfare houses from work units. I can help you keep an eye out. Welfare houses from work units are much cheaper. You can buy one for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan."
"You know that some dual-income couples from different units will have two welfare housing quotas. When the time comes, one will be released, making a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan."
This is the truth. Jiang Xia also knows that employee housing is of course cheap. Jiang's father and mother also have employee housing quotas, but Jiang's father bought one and Jiang's mother did not, giving up that quota. Now there are no more as they were allocated long ago.
Moreover, the country will soon cancel welfare housing and no longer build welfare housing for employees.
"I know that the new staff housing at the shipyard is about to be completed. If you want to buy a house, I will help you find out if there is anyone selling it. It will be much cheaper than the houses in our community."
Jiang Xia: “…”
She is now working as a translator in the shipyard. I wonder if Director Zhou will accept her?
Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at Zhou Chenglei again.
Zhou Chenglei said, "Then let's go check out the stalls in the seafood market first."
