Chapter 680: To Avoid Long Nights and More Dreams
After receiving the 20,000 yuan from Shang Lifeng and Chen Shurong, Tan Chen had 800,000 yuan in his hands. After collecting the decoration fees from those families, the money would be almost enough to buy the land.
However, in this case, he and Shang Ruoting would have little money. If nothing happened, it would be fine. But if there was an urgent need for money at home, they would probably have to ask their father-in-law and mother-in-law for a loan.
However, it is not yet time to borrow money, so Tan Chen simply stopped thinking about it.
Shang Ruoting also knew a little about the land in Pengcheng.
Although she was reborn, Shang Ruoting had no experience in doing big business in her previous life, so she didn't take this economic crisis seriously.
She wouldn't worry even if all the money in the space was used to buy land in Pengcheng.
In Sihe Village, she hasn't gone to collect the income from the greenhouses and farms from Master Shang for half a year. The last time Master Shang wrote to her, he said that they had saved more than 180 million yuan. Now, more than half a month has passed since that letter.
A new batch of oyster mushrooms must have been sold during this period. In this case, Master Shang must have saved up 20,000 yuan. If Tan Chen does not have enough money to buy the land in Pengcheng, these 20,000 yuan can solve a big problem.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoting went to the post office and sent a telegram to Mr. Shang, asking him to find time to remit the money to her.
Tan Chen also found Li Xiang. If he could get two more decoration business orders before the Chinese New Year, the current crisis would be solved.
As a result, Li Xiang failed to get the decoration business, but Ma Jinkun and several of his apprentices gave Tan Chen a big surprise.
There were five masters and apprentices in total, and they actually helped Tan Chen introduce four business deals, which directly solved Tan Chen's urgent problem of lack of money.
In order to make the money before the deadline for purchasing the land, after signing four decoration contracts, Tan Chen immediately called Director Cui and asked him to help ask the villagers who had just returned from Pengcheng whether they were willing to rush to Beijing to work immediately.
Director Cui was very concerned about Tan Chen's matter and immediately sent someone to notify those who had just returned from Pengcheng.
Being able to earn some money before the New Year is a great thing for the villagers. After receiving the notice from Director Cui, they immediately set off for the capital.
With enough manpower, Tan Chen immediately divided these people into four groups, with Gao Ming, Chen Xiangyang, Li Xiang and Zhang Wenfu each leading a group to start working hard, striving to complete all the projects in the shortest time possible.
At this time, the winter vacation life at Peking University had already begun. Huang Baosen took care of everything at the experimental field. Shang Ruoting was very confident in him, so she stayed at home peacefully to accompany the little ones.
The hired early childhood education teacher Li Caixia still gets up early every day to teach the children in the courtyard. However, when Shang Ruoting is at home, she only needs to work for one morning and then go home.
In the afternoon, Shang Ruoting would play games with the children, which was also a way for her, as a mother, to make up for the parent-child time.
As February came, with only half a month to go before the Chinese New Year, Tan Chen completed the renovation projects one after another. After receiving all the project funds, he paid wages and bonuses to the villagers, allowing them to go home peacefully for a reunion.
Li Xiang and Zhang Wenfu also received their share of the dividends. They expressed their gratitude to Tan Chen and returned home contentedly for the New Year.
Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang are good brothers who have been through thick and thin with Tan Chen for many years. Naturally, he would not show favoritism and generously gave each of them 2,000 yuan.
The two refused to accept such a large sum of money from Tan Chen. After all, they were not as familiar with the decoration project as Zhang Wenfu and Li Xiang, and could not bring any substantial benefits to the boss.
The only saving grace was that they were worthy of Tan Chen's trust. Based on this alone, Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang did not want to receive a salary that was not commensurate with their efforts.
Tan Chen didn't allow the two to refuse and forced it on them.
"Without your help, I wouldn't be able to handle the four renovation projects I have on hand. What's more, you've now gained some experience in this industry and will definitely be able to play a greater role in the future, so this amount of money isn't that much."
Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang both knew Tan Chen's temper. After looking at each other, they accepted the money.
"Don't worry, boss. Xiangyang and I will follow you from now on, even if you don't pay us." Gao Ming's tone was a little silly, but it made people feel comfortable listening to it.
Chen Xiangyang also agreed.
"Gao Ming is right. We will just follow our boss from now on and we promise not to worry you."
Tan Chen patted their shoulders and talked about another matter.
"Now that I have received this batch of project funds, I have already gathered enough money to buy the land, so I plan to leave for Pengcheng immediately to buy the land to avoid any further complications."
