Chapter 545 Isn’t it too lucky to be Director Cheng’s employee?
Sitting in the office, Cheng Hui asked directly: "I wonder what your factory will use as collateral?"
I'm a little uncomfortable with the direct contact with the director of the machinery factory. Can't you chat for half an hour first? Even have lunch?
He laughed and said, "Hahaha, I know Director Cheng is very busy, so why don't we just get down to business? Our factory is really too small, and we don't have much property. We only have an old factory building and nine scattered courtyards that serve as dormitories for employees. We can mortgage it to Director Cheng."
Cheng Hui's eyes lit up for a moment. A slum? Or 9? She likes it!
"Where are they located? How big is the area?" she asked.
When the factory manager saw that there was a chance, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and told the location.
The old factories built before the founding of the People's Republic of China must have had good locations. In the past, the area outside the second ring road was called outside the city. Once you passed Dongzhimen and Xizhimen, you were directly in the countryside.
A machinery factory as fashionable and advanced as this has to be located in the city even if it makes some noise! Otherwise it will be inconvenient for employees to go to and from get off work.
There are several large shantytowns scattered within the 2nd ring road, and some are even located under the imperial city.
It was a good place before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and only high-ranking officials could live there. But this was no longer the case after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Almost all of them were ownerless and were allocated to form slums, which then gradually became shanty towns.
Judging from the outermost wall that hides the ugliness, the conditions inside the house are mostly comparable to those in a slum.
The nine courtyards occupied by the machinery factory were neither large nor small, and each was allocated 9 or 10 households, which meant that there were originally at least 9 or 10 rooms.
Some have one-entry courtyards, some have two-entry courtyards, and the area is more than 200 square meters.
"It's a bit small." Cheng Hui frowned. "Let's not talk about whether this kind of compound can be sold. Even if it can be sold, one room can only be sold for 2,000 yuan, and one yard is worth at most 30,000 yuan. I'll charge you 300,000 yuan for 9 of them. Is that reasonable?"
The leaders in the room nodded repeatedly, saying it was too reasonable. They didn't pressure them to pay the price and let them do the math themselves. Just 9 yards were worth 200,000 yuan and they had to sell them all at once.
The truth is, it's not easy to sell at all, because their dormitory houses are so bad, almost every one of them leaks, and when it rains heavily the houses will be flooded. People who know about this will not buy it.
They were very afraid that Cheng Hui would go to see the house in person! Anyone who looks at that house will turn around and leave!
The director whispered, "But our old factory is quite large, more than 2,000 square meters, and very close to Wangfujing, just a 10-minute walk away. It's convenient for anyone who lives there to go shopping."
2,000 square meters is too small for a factory. Small factories cannot snatch it away, and big factories do not like it, so it remains in the hands of machinery factories.
Cheng Hui suppressed her joy and asked him, "It's a factory building, who lives there?"
The director said awkwardly: "You can make some minor changes and use it as a staff dormitory... I heard that your current dormitory is full..."
Indeed, the small Western-style building behind the Meng Mansion is no longer able to accommodate everyone.
"Isn't this factory in disrepair?" Cheng Hui asked.
"Hehe." The director was even more embarrassed and whispered, "You have such a wide network of contacts. You can get the construction team that is building your house to come over with just one word. After a little repair, you can live in it..."
"Thank you, Director, for thinking so carefully for me." Cheng Hui said.
This sentence is somewhat sarcastic, but no one dares to be angry! I've heard that Cheng Hui has a bad temper! She is such a good-tempered person that she has long been controlled by her stepmother. How could she force her stepmother to move sacks in the warehouse?
And Zheng Manru...I heard she was transferred to work in another province!
Now Cheng Hui was just saying a few words to them, and they didn't dare to show any emotion at all, as they were already in the wrong.
"Forget it, for Gao Zhi's sake..." Cheng Hui said, "I'll give you 500,000 for this factory."
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up!
After all, Cheng Hui is still a kind-hearted person! You can say a few more words to them! They love to listen!
A street once wanted to turn this house into a factory. Someone from higher up came to coordinate, and their factory offered 300,000 yuan, but the other party refused and only offered 50,000 yuan, not a penny more.
50,000 is really too low! Their ideal price is 150,000! Even if it's only 140,000, they are willing to sell it!
In the end, the other party refused to give it and the matter did not come to fruition.
They regretted it very much afterwards! It would have been better to sell it for 50,000 at that time!
Because there was a rumor that they could not keep the old factory.
The street office asks their factory for money, and they can collect some money. But if it is allocated or transferred from above, they will just leave with one word and not give a penny.
It is a state-owned enterprise, and everything is decided by the top.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hui gave 500,000 yuan right away!
Just by looking at the valuation she gave for the slum, I knew she was an expert, but she gave so much money... If she isn't a good person, then what is?
"Okay, okay, 500,000! Whatever you say!" the factory manager said immediately.
"That still leaves a shortfall of 200,000 yuan," Cheng Hui said.
The director said, "There's a pile of scrap metal in the warehouse, which can still be sold for thirty or fifty thousand."
"I'll give you 50,000." Cheng Hui said.
Everyone was sure that this was a very good person!
"Well, that still leaves 150,000..." The director looked around and said, "Our factory is right here. Take whatever you like!"
Cheng Hui asked, "Since you want to build family housing, have you approved the land?"
The factory director nodded immediately and said, "It has been approved. It has been approved a long time ago. It is right next to the factory. It used to be the second batch of family housing in our factory. It is also a 20-year-old house. However, they are all bungalows. We plan to demolish them and build a building."
The factory manager stood by the window and pointed to Cheng Hui: "Look, that's the piece."
They are now on the third floor, so they can clearly see a large area of red brick buildings outside the factory, which covers an area of about 50 acres.
This factory is outside the Second Ring Road at this time, which is also a good location.
Cheng Hui said: "Then I will buy a piece of land from your building for 150,000 yuan. It should be close to the road and marked out separately. I will also build a welfare house."
It is close to the road and may be demolished in the future to build a road or office building, so the compensation will be higher.
If it's too close to the interior, it's not certain. If you're lucky, the house will be demolished and commercial housing will be built. If you're unlucky, the house will be left there and become an old, dilapidated house.
Someone immediately couldn't help but say: "It's so lucky to be Director Cheng's employee, isn't it? The factory hasn't even been built yet, but the welfare housing is ready! Unlike me, I have worked in the factory for more than 20 years and still haven't been allocated a house.
"There is no hope for my life. I have worked in a machinery factory all my life and have a deep affection for it. I can't let it go..."
Everyone immediately glanced at him sideways!
I thought he was just excited and angry, but it turned out to be flattery!
"But my son doesn't have a job yet. Director Cheng, when will you recruit workers? I'll sharpen my son's head to get him to work for you!"
