Another leave
After Chen Wenqiang came back from talking to the developer's representative, he was called in for a talk by the village chief Chen Guangman. It was almost eleven o'clock before things were temporarily settled. I called out to Chen Jin, who had knocked out a small mountain of "melon seed shells", and said, "Third sister, let's go."
"Ah, here they come." Chen Jin stood up, picked up the garbage bag on the ground and swept the melon seed shells into it. Many people looked like they weren't ready to get up and leave.
There is no plan to demolish the shed here. During this period of time, the village chief will find someone to measure the land and estimate how to build the house. When the design drawings and cost are reported, each family can contribute to the cost. If there are a lot of additional donations, the cost can be higher and some designs can be modified.
However, Chen Jin didn't understand all this. When the time comes, she would just pay how much money she was supposed to pay, and she would make her estimate based on how much others donated. Well, anyway, all she had to do was pay.
Chen Jin drove his third uncle and aunt to Xiuli Community first. They were going to open the store, saying that they would feel uncomfortable if the store was not open for one day. My uncle had to go back to the company, so Chen Jin followed him and had lunch at his uncle's company at noon.
Halfway to my uncle's company, my aunt also got off the car. Chen Jincai started the car again, and his uncle asked, "How are you going to spend your money? Are you going to Shenzhen to buy a house?"
"Shenzhen... Let's wait and see. I plan to use half of the money to buy a house in Beijing, but I won't buy an expensive one in the city center. Aunt Mei from Professor Song's family said that this year, Beijing launched a batch of commercial and affordable housing, and the housing prices are basically around 6,000. This price is better than the foreign-sale houses in the city center of Beijing that cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter."
Professor Kong, who taught economics, encouraged her to go directly to Beijing to buy land.
Professor Kong really overestimated her. Buying land would cost at least five or six thousand per square meter. Not to mention before today, even if she signed the contract and got more than five million today, all the money she had now would only be enough to buy about one thousand square meters of land. Buy a piece of land and leave it there waiting for grass to grow? It will cost a lot of money to build the house...
"It's normal for commercial housing in the capital. If it's a renovation of an old house, it shouldn't be that expensive." The uncle continued, "The two old houses my company has taken on can only be sold for a little over a thousand dollars after they're completed. The buildings being built in the suburbs will probably be sold for about the same price as Xiuli Community, around fifteen hundred, or even a little lower. I'll keep the remaining land for another two or three years, and take my time."
As he spoke, the uncle turned his head to look at Chen Jin and said with a smile, "I just took over the housing reform project of the Municipal Shipyard. I am running out of money. There is a piece of land to be auctioned in Dongcheng District. The location is neither good nor bad. I plan to buy the land with Zhuang Yao's company. What do you think? Do you want to invest in me?"
Chen Jin was surprised, "Uncle, are you asking me alone?" Otherwise, why didn't you mention it when my third uncle and aunt were here?
The eldest uncle leaned back relaxedly, folded his hands on his fat belly, and said, "Your third uncle wants to be more stable and keep more savings in his hands. If I ask him, he will probably be embarrassed to refuse and will invest hundreds of thousands."
"I can take out half of the money now. If you are interested, you can invest some. If you are not interested, it's okay. You can lend the spare money to your uncle for half a year. The interest will be calculated according to the bank's interest. We will take the lion's share."
Chen Jin understood that although his uncle and uncle Zhuang were relatives for sure, business was business and he had to take the greater part and have the final say in business matters.
"How much is the land per square meter in Rong City?"
"It depends on the location. Some land in the suburbs is more than 2,000, and some is more than 3,000. The land in the city center is expensive, almost 10,000. If you want to buy a piece of land for yourself, forget about the one in the suburbs of Xicheng District. There are not many for sale now, and the price has increased a lot because the subway passes by. You can wait and see the factory land in the suburbs of Nancheng District. It will definitely be put up for auction. The village chief will find people in the village to build a large-scale project together. If you follow behind, you can also occupy a piece. I estimate that if you want two acres of land, it will cost about 5 million. Starting from May next year, the several buildings I built will also be put on the market one after another, and you will definitely get your investment back..."
Chen Jin started thinking again. Why not just buy a piece of land in Rong City?
She is a half-baked person, she thinks everything is good, but she is unsure about everything. Now she is a fence-sitter, sometimes in Shenzhen and sometimes in Beijing. After hearing what my uncle said, she thought it would be okay to buy a piece of land in Rong City, after all, it is a place she is familiar with...
Having too much money can also be a worry, as you don’t know how to spend it.
That’s not right, she still doesn’t have enough money, otherwise she would buy them all!
"Uncle, I am really getting carried away now." You are always greedy! In fact, the fact that she can get so much money is that God has opened a back door for her, and the God of Wealth is chasing her to feed her. She should be content with that!
"You're so proud of yourself when you've only just started?" My uncle laughed.
His third sister is the richest in the family. She usually spends a little money, so how can she be so proud?
Tsk, this child is just like him, down-to-earth and reassuring.
"It will take some time before we can bid on the land. You can think about it slowly when you get back. There's no need to rush to decide with me."
Chen Jin said, "It's okay. I'm just wondering where to buy in the future... I have money now and I can't leave. I have to investigate thoroughly before making a move. I'm also thinking of going to Beijing and Shenzhen during the winter vacation or next summer vacation. Uncle, I'll think about it when I go back and decide whether to invest money to participate in the shares."
"Okay, think about it carefully."
"Oh, by the way, didn't you say before that you were going to buy a luxury car? When you buy it, take me out for a ride. I haven't ridden in a luxury car many times yet."
Chen Jin laughed out loud, "I was just saying it casually. If I really had to buy a car worth four or five hundred thousand, I wouldn't be willing to do so."
She has seen so many luxury cars now that she is not so interested in them anymore.
Oh, not just looking. During the time she was riding in Teacher Shen's car, she never rode in the same car twice. She rode a new car every day. After seeing so many of them, she just got used to it.
Well, she wouldn’t say to others that she’s jealous.
Chen had lunch at his uncle's company at noon and stayed here for the whole afternoon. I didn’t see my second cousin. I heard he went out to discuss a project. She did see Lin Xiaoman in the company, but she was there to discuss cooperation.
My uncle came out of the office and glanced at the open meeting room in front of him. "Was that a friend you knew just now?"
Chen Jin shook his head, "He's not my friend. I know him, but not very well."
"Oh, I thought I knew you. She is the business manager of a supplier company. I met her outside last time and she came over to say hello. I just found out that she seems to know a lot about our company. She's a nice girl, smart and good at talking."
Seeing that his uncle admired Lin Xiaoman very much, Chen Jin called his second cousin after leaving his uncle's company. After the call was hung up, he waited for a while and his second cousin called again.
"Have you signed the contract today? Are you ready to treat me, your second brother, to a meal now that you have money?"
"I'm richer, but poorer." Chen Jin made a joke and immediately turned to the main topic. After talking about Lin Xiaoman's situation, he said, "I know I told you. You can decide whether to tell your uncle or not."
She always felt that Lin Xiaoman came for her second cousin. No, it should be said that I came here for my second cousin who is the future boss of an honest construction company.
Two years ago, my uncle's company was just starting out, and Lin Xiaoman didn't come over at that time. Last year, when the house was demolished, my uncle got a share of the money, but Lin Xiaoman still didn’t contribute. This year, my uncle gave the company to my second cousin, and the company has grown several levels in just two years, so Lin Xiaoman came.
Lin Xiaoman has been working and living in Rong City. Could it be that she had no idea about her second cousin in the past few years? It's impossible to even think about it.
When people have money, many people will come to them just to get close to them. Otherwise, would someone be thinking about finding a partner for her? Those people probably thought that she was the only one in her family, and if they married her, the things in her hands would become the man's family.
Maybe some people will pretend that they don't care about what she has and don't show greed, but after a long time, will they not want anything from her? After tasting the sweetness, wouldn’t you want more?
She has gone from being a small rich woman to a medium rich woman, and now she wants to become a very rich woman or even a super rich woman. If you put yourself in other people's shoes, no one is not greedy.
Chen Jin was just passing on a message, and it depended on what her second cousin decided. If he turned a blind eye, she would never get involved in the company's investment until her uncle stepped down. She always felt anxious as if she was walking on a tightrope when cooperating with someone who was not in her right mind.
"I'm done. I'm hanging up."
"You hung up after just two sentences. Chat with me for a few more minutes. This is a good excuse for me to come out and get rid of the alcohol."
Chen Jin sighed, "What are you talking about? About your current night school? Oh, right, second brother, you come to NTU to attend classes every day now?"
"There are classes on single days and four evenings a week." The second cousin smiled and said, "Professor Qi's lecture on business management is very good. You can go and listen to it some other day."
"Let's talk about it later." She has been studying real estate economics with Professor Kong recently.
Chen Jin cooperated and chatted for a few minutes. He heard his second cousin talking to someone. After waiting for half a minute, his second cousin said he had something to do.
Before hanging up the phone, he gave her a promise, "I'll bring Zhuang Yao with me for dinner on Saturday, just make the arrangements."
Chen Jin didn't hang around outside. He went straight home after making the call. Then he opened the refrigerator and looked at it for a long time. He decided to make a simple meal at home tonight.
"La la la, la la la, I'm a little expert in selling newspapers..."
Chen Jin paused, then started humming again, "La la la, la la la, I'm an expert in buying land..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, and he even forgot how to sing the rest.
Eating simple meals at home alone can give me the same happiness as a banquet.
The next morning when he went to work, he saw Shen Baichuan just coming out with a textbook, and Chen Jin waved happily, "Good morning, Teacher Shen. Don't forget to have dinner on Saturday."
Shen Baichuan smiled and nodded, “Yeah, I haven’t forgotten.”
"You look so happy. Did the negotiation yesterday go well?"
There was no negotiation at all, they just signed it. Chen Jin laughed and said, "It went very smoothly. Everyone is happy."
Then he said very seriously: "Teacher Shen, thank you very much. If it weren't for the information you gave us, our family wouldn't have been able to get so much money."
There are quite a lot of fruit trees planted, really a lot.
"No need to thank me, I'm just passing on a message." Shen Baichuan thought: Anyway, it was his grandfather's company that paid for it, so he just happened to be offering it as a favor.
Both of them were in a hurry to go to school and didn't talk much. After Chen Jin arrived at the office, she asked whether her students had come to see her yesterday. She was relieved to learn that nothing happened.
Then, he took out a leave application from the drawer, filled in the reason, and went to Vice President Sun's office.
Vice Dean Sun was straightforward and signed the contract immediately. He also asked with concern, "Is the family situation not too difficult?"
Chen Jin shook his head. "It's not a big problem. I can solve it myself. Thank you, leader."
"Well, you're welcome. I can only work with peace of mind after I have dealt with my family affairs. By the way," Vice Dean Sun asked her to sit down and talk, and then asked with concern, "Does Teacher Chen have a partner?"
It's no wonder Chen Jin is so sensitive. Recently many people have come up to her and asked her to introduce them to someone. Plus, a huge sum of money is about to come into her account, so it's hard for her not to think too much. He looked at Vice Dean Sun warily, "I don't have a partner, but I'm not considering dating for now."
"Oh, you young people nowadays are different from us back then. We used to say that we should get married first and then start a career, but now young people are starting to pursue building a career before getting married."
Chen Jin nodded but didn't comment.
She had no plans to start a career or start a family. No matter whether you pursue it or not.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work."
Chen Jin blinked, then went back to the office with the leave application.
Sometimes the leaders of the unit spoke in a roundabout way, and sometimes they just said something casually with no other meaning. She couldn't understand what Vice President Sun meant when he suddenly asked her if she had a partner. Do you want to introduce her to someone, or just casually express your concern for the new teacher...
Well, who cares what he means.
If you can do this job, do it. If you can't, go home and build another building to collect rent.
Hehehe~
"Teacher Chen, was Vice President Sun looking for you just now?"
"No, I'm going to ask for leave from him. I have something to do at home tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you again. I'll come back next Monday and treat everyone to a meal at Laoyoufu."
Teacher Chang agreed, "Okay, I'll go and take care of things at home."
Teacher He wanted to find out what the matter was and had to ask for leave every few days, but when he thought about the tone of Chen Jin's speech last time, he gave up. Then he looked at Zhou Ding who was sitting at the desk next to him, "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of the girl I mentioned to you yesterday?"
"Teacher He, please introduce someone else to your relative. I am not worthy of the girl you mentioned. I still have to talk to my students, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, hey, hey. This Xiao Zhou is really something. This girl from my relative's family is really good..."
Chen Jin laughed in his heart. No matter how good a girl is, when you introduce her to others, she is only 30% good out of 10. She must be trying to introduce someone to someone, but also want to belittle them and make her relatives' family look so good... boring.
The counselor's job is still too busy.
On Friday morning, Chen drove to Qiaoxi Village.
This time the contract was signed smoothly, and the land that was decided was the one near Qiaodong Village. Otherwise, the people who came to set up the factory would not be willing to contract it.
Several families were very happy because this way they could get more dividends than anyone else in the village.
But there are always some people who are not satisfied, thinking that others have more and they have less. When I saw that Chen Jin could also get a share, I felt so jealous.
When Chen Jin signed, a man from an unknown family said sourly: "You were in charge of demolishing and expropriating land in Qiaodong Village. You got so much money and you came to our village to share the money. How come you got all the benefits? I think you shouldn't get any of our village's dividends..."
The person next to him suddenly looked over. I want to see how Routinjin refutes it.
I just want to watch the fun and not mind the trouble.
Chen Jin signed his name quickly, then turned back to look at the man who was speaking, and sized him up from head to toe, then said with a smile, "Anyway, I won't take advantage of you, so why do you care?"
"Funny! You talk as if you paid for this dividend. The person who paid the money didn't say anything, so why is it your turn to save money for them?"
The man was furious, "You are not from our Qiaoxi Village!"
"You say you're not Chinese, so you're not Chinese? Anyway, my household registration is in Qiaoxi Village. I said you're not Chinese, but the country has issued you an ID card, hasn't it?"
Chen Jin shouted towards the door: "Cousin, come in quickly!"
When cousin Meng Chong came in, Chen Jin asked him to sit and wait as well, as if she was on guard against being beaten by others.
Qiaoxi Village is closer to the police station, who would dare to hit you? !
