Chapter 65 "It's okay, I'm with...
Grandpa Chen Pan came here today, actually to ask the Qin family about renting the Qin family’s west storefront from the real estate agent Xiao Wu.
In addition to asking whether Xiao Wu believed it, Grandpa Chen also wanted to ask Qin Yang and Qin's mother, two locals, about the houses that the agent Xiao Wu showed him today.
"He took me to the first one today. It's right at the top of the street in front. Xiao Wu said that although the house looks shabby, it's right next to the road, so maybe it could be used as a shop or something in the future. The second one is near the Public Security Bureau. It's the most expensive of the three houses. But it's close to the court and the police station, and it's definitely the safest and most central location they say it will be. But the price of that bungalow is almost as high as a two-story house, which seems a bit too expensive."
The last one is at the very back of town, where there are a lot of factories: match factories, milk powder factories, sock factories, cement factories. Xiao Wu said that if I bought the factory there, maybe I could try to deliver grain and oil to those factory canteens. It's a bit out of the way, though; it takes ten minutes to walk there. But if we go to the one near the police station, it's only five minutes further. There are also many restaurants there, and workers from many nearby factories eat there. If we open a grain and oil factory there, we can also try to supply those nearby noodle shops—"
In fact, from Grandpa Chen’s description, you can tell what he is interested in.
Originally, Chen Pan had always been very interested in such matters. If it were in the past, she would definitely have given her family some advice.
But her sudden fainting today still had a slight impact on her. Even though she felt much better now, her body was still weak and she had no energy to do anything.
In addition, her purpose in buying the house was very clear, which was to wait for the house to be demolished in the future and have a temporary place to live.
Anyway, for Chen Pan, who bought a house in the suburbs in her previous life and often backed up to work, her commute often took an hour or two. A five-minute or ten-minute walk didn't really make much difference to her.
In addition, after buying this house, Chen Pan wanted to study hard and didn't want to take care of household affairs for the time being.
So from the very beginning, she actually had the intention of handing this matter over to her grandfather.
Anyway, no matter what his grandfather said at this moment, Chen Pan sat quietly and did not speak actively as usual.
"Grandpa Chen, I remember that a house in the town center, even if it's just an old courtyard with a few bungalows, would cost around 15,000, right? Do you have that much budget?"
In fact, for 15,000 yuan, you can buy a large two-bedroom or small three-bedroom apartment in the city. If the average family has money, they will go directly to the city to buy a house. They will definitely not buy an old, dilapidated bungalow in the town center, which is obviously overpriced due to rumors of demolition.
Anyway, when asked about it, Qin Yang's face showed a little bit of disapproval.
"Our Panpan gave me 7,000 yuan yesterday, and we have also saved 3,000 yuan in the past few months. I was thinking that we would pool 10,000 yuan, and use the remaining 5,000 yuan to borrow some from outside, or take out a loan from the bank." Grandpa Chen, who has learned a lot in recent times, immediately expressed his thoughts.
“…
Unexpectedly, Chen Pan had made so much money after working so hard for over a month. Qin Yang and his mother looked at Chen Pan in surprise. Then Qin Yang said, "Actually, the houses in our town center are only suitable for living and opening shops. If you just want to buy a house to settle down in our town and never leave easily, then I suggest you buy a house near the police station."
But if your ultimate goal is to open a factory, I suggest choosing the area at the back of our village. It's a bit remote and difficult to get out of, and with the increasing number of factories nearby, it feels a bit unsuitable for living. As a result, residents there generally want to move to the town or buy a house directly in the city.
It's only a five-minute walk, and the yard of a one-story house there is roughly half the size of the town center. If I were you, and you just wanted to open a warehouse there, plus a yard you'd only occasionally live in, I'd suggest buying the one in the back. The prices in the back of our village are actually more reasonable. The ones in the front and middle are no longer suitable. For example, the place my friend and I were looking at recently is the few acres of flat land to the right of Grandpa Chen's bungalow!
"Yeah?"
"Yes, Uncle Chen, if you really want to start a company and build a factory, you have to consider the ongoing need for funds. You should save as much as you can at this point. The houses you're looking at now are the worst of the old ones. Once you buy them, they'll definitely have to be demolished and rebuilt. We're very familiar with the situation in our village. Although it's called a town now, only the central few kilometers are actually the most prosperous. The others, like the ones you mentioned at the top of the road and at the back of the village, are actually mud houses that have been uninhabited for a long time. They may look okay on the outside, but if you want to live inside, they'll have to be demolished and rebuilt.
If that's the case, you need to set aside all the money for building and renovating the house in advance. After setting that aside, you also need to prepare the money for starting your own company. Even the simplest company requires a sign, a door number, a desk, and other things. If you really want to do a good job, you'll need to pay employees and prepare a deposit. These are all big investments, not as simple as opening a store—"
Since the Chen family came specially with gifts, neither Qin Yang nor Qin Yang's mother hid anything and told Grandpa Chen all the pros and cons they knew.
The overall housing prices in Liuping Town are indeed a little cheaper than the overall housing prices in Longcheng.
However, due to the recent development of Liuping Town, coupled with rumors of demolition that have been circulating for seven or eight years, housing prices near No. 6 Middle School and in the town center have become significantly inflated. To the point where a single-story house there costs as much as a house in the city center. Two- or three-story houses can cost upwards of 200,000 yuan. For example, Qin Yang's three-story courtyard house, located a few hundred meters from No. 6 Middle School and about a kilometer from the town's police station, is currently valued at over 150,000 yuan.
Anyway, the housing prices here seem to be getting more exaggerated and inflated year by year.
But besides the demolition, which everyone was unsure whether or not it would actually happen, there was also a No. 6 Middle School that was doing very well, several large factories, and a multitude of smaller companies that didn't have factories. With these factories and companies, the village also had several large restaurants and hotels of varying sizes.
So, the houses in the front and middle here have a sense of ease about renting them out once they're finished. The land prices for the bungalows near other police stations, even if they only have a few run-down bungalows, are rising. There's a sense that if you buy into my properties, you'll make money once I build a house in the future. So, asking a higher price seems reasonable.
Anyway, that night, Qin Yang and Qin Yang's mother had a good talk with Grandpa Chen.
The main point is, if you buy a house and want to live there and not move again, and you want to rent it out like they do, then you should bite the bullet and choose a house in the town center.
But if their purpose is just to stay temporarily or open a factory or company, then choose the cheaper one.
As for the demolition, rumors of it had been circulating in Liuping Town for six or seven years. Even though the Qin Yang family had gotten a little gossip this year, they heard that kind of gossip almost every year. So, they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't encourage or discourage the Chen family's enthusiasm.
"I know. I'll go back and think about it carefully!"
After hearing so much from others, Grandpa Chen is not a stubborn and truly ignorant old man, so he naturally knows how to take it as a reference.
After asking about buying a house, Chen Aiguo asked about the procedures and the agent Xiao Wu.
And after understanding that they bought the house for both commercial and residential use, and also wanted to sign their household registration back in the future.
Qin Yang suggested that they hand over everything to Xiao Wu, and then through Qin Yang and Qin's mother, Chen Pan and Chen Pan's grandfather also knew that Xiao Wu was able to do the real estate business in their town because of his small connections.
*
Chen Pan really didn't care about the house purchase matter afterwards.
Grandpa Chen asked the neighbors about all the subsequent matters, and then handled them together with the agent Xiao Wu.
Later one day, when her grandfather said he wanted to take her to Chenjia Town and get her an ID card early, Chen Pan found out that her grandfather actually wanted to register the house here under his own name.
"No, I'm not old enough! And it doesn't matter if it's registered under your or grandma's name."
Seven thousand yuan is indeed a lot in the eyes of people today.
Nowadays, it is still a special era where there are very few people who earn 10,000 yuan a month. As long as everyone earns 70, 80 or 100 yuan a month, they feel that they are earning a lot.
But Chen Pan is a person who has lived a second life after all.
Because I know that in this era, as long as you are hardworking, diligent and courageous, you can make money. Because I know clearly what to do in the future to truly stand at the forefront of the trend.
So Chen Pan has never been afraid of making money.
Even though she had a poor life in her previous life, she eventually bought a small two-bedroom apartment, opened a small restaurant with a friend, and left enough money for her grandfather's retirement.
So in this life, she really didn't worry about how to make money.
She just felt that she was too young to do anything well in her prime years, and that it was a waste of her time to make money. She really didn't care about anything else.
If she really cared so much, she wouldn't have been so willing to hand over most of the money she had directly to her grandfather.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that she is his grandparents' only heir now, so they treat her better.
Anyway, Chen Pan had never expected her grandparents' current behavior.
"It's okay. Your grandmother and I have an old yard at home, and the Qin family's small shop was also purchased in our name. So the new house bought with your money should be registered in your name. Xiao Wu said that a house paid in full can be registered in the name of a minor. You can take a day off tomorrow, and then I will take you to the town to apply for an ID card. Once the ID card is obtained, the house will be registered in your name. Then the company above will also be opened in your name. But how to register the subsequent factory? I may need to discuss it with my great grandfather and second grandfather-"
In late October of that year, Chen Pan, under the guidance of his grandfather, got his ID card at the early age of fourteen.
After getting the ID card, the small courtyard they bought at the back of the town was finally registered under Chen Pan's name.
Because he stated that he wanted to start a company when he bought the house, Grandpa Chen registered a company under the guidance of the agent Xiao Wu.
Once the company was registered, all procedures seemed to be given the green light.
The subsequent real estate certificate, which was said to be impossible to obtain, was finally obtained directly.
Later, even Chen Pan’s household registration was directly transferred to the new company.
As soon as Chen Pan’s household registration was settled, Grandpa Chen started looking for someone to rebuild the house.
The area was only two-thirtieth the size of Chen Pan's original house, a small yard of just over an acre with only the front and main yards, no backyard. The final transaction price was 7,500 yuan, and after paying some taxes, it should have been 7,800 yuan.
Grandpa Chen worked with the Qin family on the subsequent house construction. Qin Yang and his two friends happened to have bought land nearby, so they hired a professional construction company. Qin Yang helped to connect them, and they arranged a professional construction team for Grandpa Chen.
Finally, just as Qin Yang and his team were busy building a three-story professional advertising printing company, the small Chenji Grain and Oil Company next to them was also rapidly built up bit by bit.
