If a big tree wants to grow luxuriantly, it must first take root!
Therefore, the land and the house are the primary issues at the moment. The next morning, You Tianfu asked Lin Lidong to contact the buyer of the house and go to the house with his brothers to see it in person and talk face to face to find out what the tricks are with the so-called low-priced houses.
The owner of the office building was a middle-aged man. Lin Lidong had contacted him before and told him that the price of two million was also promised by him personally.
You Tianfu had originally assumed that someone with such a large fortune, even if not the CEO of a company, must be someone of high status. But when he met him in person, he was shocked to find he was in his forties, with dark skin, wrinkles on his face, and thick calluses on his hands. It was obvious that he had been doing hard labor outside for many years.
The two parties met in the office building. The man unlocked the door and let them in to take a look while introducing himself: "My name is Li Wu, I'm from Shandong, and I came here to work. I built this house brick by brick myself. Don't worry about every aspect. All the materials used are genuine, and the procedures are complete. There is no problem at all.
The price is two million, and I only have one request: it has to be quick!"
As they talked, they walked around the first and third floors. Just as Lin Lidong said, although the office building was not very large, it had everything it needed, and the layout, lighting, and corresponding facilities were also complete. Coupled with its geographical location close to the center of the new city, it was indeed one of the few excellent places.
Lin Lidong and Hao Zhengguang also made a special effort to inspect the main structure and internal framework of the building. Since the brothers started their business as a building materials factory in Chinatown, they were considered experts in this area. They soon discovered that Li Wu was not lying. There was no shoddy workmanship in the entire building, and the quality was completely up to standard.
The location is excellent, the size is right, the layout is perfect, and the quality is up to standard. After confirming that this series of factors are no problem, the next issue is the price.
Li Wu said the same thing: a flat price of two million, not a penny more, not a penny less. As long as they agreed, they could take the money and go through the transfer procedures that day.
There was a hint of uncontrollable eagerness in Li Wu's eyes. He hoped that the deal could be done even more than his brothers, and he was eager to sell the office building as soon as possible.
The more this went on, the more You Tianfu became certain something was up. So, he returned to the office building and asked directly, "The office building is fine. We'll take it. If you need the money urgently, you can transfer the money today and complete the paperwork. But before that, you have to tell us what exactly happened between you and this office building?"
The sudden question caught Li Wu off guard, and he began to stutter: "Me? I don't have anything... to do with this office building!?"
You Tianfu patted him on the shoulder and chuckled, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. You know better than us how low the price of this office building is. If you want eight or nine million, I can actually agree to it without any questions.
But two million, anyone who is not a fool can see that there must be something wrong here!
Truth will come to light sooner or later, so you might as well speak directly. As long as it's not too much trouble, I won't just buy you an office building, I might even be able to provide you with some help!
Upon hearing this, Li Wu couldn't hold it in any longer, his eyes turned red, and the nearly fifty-year-old man actually leaned over, squatted in the corner and started crying.
Hao Zhengguang sighed upon seeing this and speculated aloud, "Could it be that someone in this guy's family is seriously ill and in urgent need of money? Otherwise, who would be able to keep the price of such a good office building so low?"
Li Wu shook his head, adjusted his mood, and then stood up and faced the few people: "To be honest, this office building does have some problems, but... but I really have no choice...
I am a contractor. I came here with a group of workers a few years ago. At that time, Lujiu City was developing a new urban area, so I took over the project from a boss named Huang. In addition to this office building, most of the buildings on this street were built by us bit by bit.
But after the project was completely completed, Boss Huang still didn't pay the workers. I went to look for him countless times. I could see him the first few times, but he always delayed with various reasons and excuses. Later, the security guards wouldn't even let me in through the gate, and even resorted to violence a few times, beating two of my fellow workers into the hospital.
We, the workers, have left our wives and children behind and traveled far away, toiling away all year long just to earn a little money to support our families. These workers have wives, children, elderly people, and sick people at home, and it's not easy for any of them.
But now the work is done, but they haven't received a penny. Not to mention supplementing the family income, some people can't even afford a ticket to go home.
During the Spring Festival that year, hundreds of us huddled in an unrenovated office building, each with two steamed buns and a bag of pickles, and spent the Spring Festival in the cold wind.
I saw it all and was very anxious. Later, there was really no other way, so everyone gathered downstairs of Boss Huang's company, stayed there day and night, and demanded their wages.
Instead of waiting for Mr. Huang to come out, we caught the attention of a lawyer named Zhang Wei, a man with a strong sense of justice. He happened to pass by and saw us staring at the scorching sun and asking for our wages, so he came over.
After hearing the whole story, he felt sorry for us, so he decided to help us sue for free and filed a lawsuit against Boss Huang.
The work we did was all in front of us, and there was solid evidence that Boss Huang owed us money, so the trial went very smoothly. The court ruled in our favor and ordered Boss Huang to pay all the overdue wages within three months.
