Du Hai inquired about the house himself, but in the end, Song Yan helped him choose it. It had a backyard and a fairly large area, with four rooms that could be used as a shop, but the house was dilapidated!
Song Yan not only chose this house for him, but also bought a dilapidated house next door for himself.
Song Yan said he could lend him more money to help with the repairs, and he could even find a master for him.
Du Hai is not worried about famine.
Then let's just leave it all on debt!
Master Ji only took the job because of Song Yan's influence; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a small job.
Besides his two sons, Master Ji now employs several other people.
In just six days, they opened windows on the street-facing side of the four houses; they were large, bright glass windows.
The interior and exterior walls haven't been painted yet, but it already looks pretty good. Then two people came to rent the place!
Du Haimei is in a tough spot; each room costs fifteen yuan per month.
Two rooms cost him a month's salary.
He was so pleased with himself that he went to Song Yan to show off.
Upon hearing this, Song Yan immediately asked how long the two families would rent the house, or if they would only need the yard.
"They want to rent for three years, but if I lower the price, they'll rent for five years."
The rental period hasn't been agreed upon yet!
"Of course, we'll only use part of the courtyard." Du Hai said, beaming.
Song Yan: "You idiot, it's a good thing you didn't rent it out, or you'd be crying later!"
Listen to me!
It costs 15 yuan per month, and the lease is only valid until the end of the year.
From now on, rent will be determined by market rates. At the same price, they will have priority in renting.
They were only allowed to use a portion of the yard.
You'd better just put up a fence and enclose the area they can use.
The scope of application must be clearly defined.
Du Hai was indignant; how could he have been such a fool? But he didn't dare argue. Even if he erected a fence, he still wouldn't have any money and would have to borrow.
However, Du Hai asked tentatively, "What if they don't want to rent it anymore?"
Song Yan said, "Don't worry, if they don't rent it, there will definitely be another buyer!"
The location of the house Song Yan chose must be excellent.
However, it needs repairs. The homeowner only wants to sell, so naturally they won't spend money on repairs.
Those who rent think, "It's not my own house. It's too much of a loss for me to pay for repairs!"
Although the house is right next to the street, it can't be used without being repaired.
Most people think this way nowadays.
So this house was never sold or rented out before.
Du Haizhen listened to Song Yan, but the person renting the house left angrily.
"So be it, she's gone!" Song Yan was pregnant, so Du Hai couldn't very well complain to her.
That's what Du Hai was thinking at the time.
But that same evening, she changed her mind.
Because there are more people who want to rent a house.
Five days later, Du Hai rented out three rooms and kept one for himself.
It costs eighteen yuan per room per month!
Neither Di Minxia nor Wang Wenli were good at business, and they didn't envy them.
But having a place to rent out is great. It's hassle-free and you can make money at the same time!
Song Yan: "Then you can buy them too!"
Wang Wenli was so frightened that she waved her hands, "That won't do, it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Even if you asked me to lend you money, I wouldn't dare.
Oh my god! When will I ever get another chance to do that again?!
Di Minxia meant the same thing.
Song Yan: "Then buy from the side, the very edge, the ones that cost a little over a thousand, up to two thousand!"
You can receive an advance on your salary.
Wang Wenli: "Such an expensive house, and in such a remote location, it's unlikely to be rented out!"
Song Yan gave them a raise.
Wang Wenli earns thirty yuan a month. Di Minxia is thirty-five, and she still occasionally works as a bodyguard.
Now that Song Yan provides them with food and lodging, and they're getting such a high salary, they're extremely satisfied.
Wang Wenli and Di Minxia worked diligently and were worth the price.
They are capable of doing real work, and Song Yan is willing to say more about that.
It seems like a thousand or two thousand now, but in a few years, prices and wages will rise, and it won't seem like so much anymore.
Song Yan: "When I first came here, you know how much vegetables you could buy with 50 cents, right?"
Now? Can I still buy those?
Di Minxia: "Vegetable prices have gone up."
House prices in Kyoto have also increased.
"Let's go for the one on the side!" Di Minxia often went to look at houses and knew that house prices were rising very quickly.
Wang Wenli knows she's not a smart person, but she can follow the lead of smart people.
When she first arrived, Song Yan forbade her from telling her family how much salary she would receive. Song Yan's reason was that she didn't want to relay the information back home.
She felt that Song Yan meant to keep his wealth hidden. So she told her family that she would only get ten yuan a month, which was more than the salary they had initially agreed upon.
Even now.
I have some extra money now, but not as much as Di Minxia.
Di Minxia went to find Aunt Ji; she's still an expert at finding out about houses.
However, she was still quite worried when she heard that the cheapest one was on the very edge.
Even the cheapest item on the very edge isn't cheap.
Aunt Ji: Song Yan is willing to buy a house, and she has also encouraged the people around her to buy houses.
As summer vacation was drawing to a close, Wang Wenli and Di Minxia both bought a courtyard house. The area wasn't small, but the house itself was so-so.
Song Yan also bought two.
It's really cheap now!
Jiang Xiaoxiao also wanted to earn some money. That would be enough to buy a house in this remote and far-off area.
Shen Ruomei didn't hesitate. She had never lacked money and didn't value it much. If her fourth sister liked buying houses, she would just follow suit!
Xia Juntao followed Shen Ruomei's lead and bought some too.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate any longer and decided to buy it.
Li Yuanzhao knew they were also envious of selling goods, so she started doing so after the baby's one-month celebration.
After all, renting a place, plus living expenses, and she even brought her eldest son along. It adds up to a considerable amount of money each month!
But she earns little. She doesn't want to overwork herself, fearing it will affect her milk supply. She also needs to go home regularly to feed her child.
When Song Yan advised Li Yuanzhao to buy a house, she decided against it without hesitation.
At the end of the year, Du Hai arrived happily. Rents had all gone up, so he wanted to raise his own.
His small shop is doing quite well.
There's hope that the debt can be fully paid off!
More than a decade later, they will be able to better appreciate how much they have benefited.
Their courtyards were all demolished.
Du Hai's house is called a commercial building, and Wang Wenli and the others have also built multi-story buildings.
It would cost a lot of money.
Song Yan: I want a house!
They listened to Song Yan and wanted a house.
Later on, they realized that with these houses, as long as they didn't squander them, they would have more than enough to eat and use.
By then, Song Yan was still paying them high wages, even though they no longer needed them. But they were still very happy working there.
Wang Wenli no longer needs to do anything herself; she has three nannies working for her. She manages everything at home.
Di Minxia manages a group of bodyguards.
People like Shen Ruomei go to work to satisfy their spiritual needs. In fact, collecting rent already makes them quite well-off.
