Chapter 103
"The quotation for this house belongs to a friend of mine. He decided not to live in Pengcheng anymore, so he wants to sell it. The house is pretty good."
Walking forward along the newly paved road, Lao Fu pointed to the small building in front and said, "This is it, Si'an Community."
This building is still under construction, but it has taken shape, and is the framework of a six-story building. The community is not big, with about seven or eight buildings, but the location is good, not far from the train station, and it only takes ten minutes by bike.
With such a distance, it is very convenient to travel to and from the border. Chen Lanjun was quite satisfied.
"Is it still under construction? I wonder how long it will take to be completed." Chen Lanjun asked.
"The house should be ready for delivery next year." Old Fu adjusted his glasses and explained that this construction method did not conform to the concept of people in this era. "This is called pre-sale housing, which was learned from Hong Kong."
Last year, Pengcheng built its first commercial residential community. A Hong Kong businessman who cooperated with the government took the blueprints back to Hong Kong and sold most of the houses. From then on, a new model for building commercial houses in the mainland was opened.
Before the real estate market was open, it was mainly about units distributing houses or exchanging houses. But no matter what the situation was, you had to have a house first. But now, houses are being sold before they are even built.
Chen Lanjun asked a few more detailed questions.
The Sian community was built in cooperation between another enterprise and an institution. Due to its small scale, it has a price advantage. In addition, the housing prices for residents with mainland household registration are cheaper than for others, at only 600 yuan per square meter.
The apartment I want to sell now is a three-bedroom apartment of about 70 square meters, with three household registration quotas. It is just right.
After Chen Lanjun had made clear the details, she made the final decision: "I'll take this house."
After getting rid of a worry, the troubles from the quarrel with my elder sister were somewhat dissipated.
She specially invited Lao Fu to dinner and kept this kindness in mind.
When she was about to withdraw money, she was stopped by Ah Jing. The girl actually pulled out a travel bag from under the bed and placed it in front of her: "Sister Lan, this is the latest payment. I haven't saved it yet. You can just use it to buy a house."
When the zipper was opened, there was a bag of cash, at least 20,000 yuan.
“Is this your own money?”
"No," Ah Jing explained, "It's the recent sales. Our lunch boxes are selling very well, and each unit pre-orders about 300 to 400 boxes a day. This bag of money is the money we just received."
Chen Lanjun was pleased that the lunch boxes were selling so well, but she also asked, "Can the other supplies keep up?"
Ah Jing smiled and said, "Sure. Now everyone in our village is raising chickens, vegetables and pigs for the restaurant. As for lunch boxes, we may get more orders from the plastic factory."
"We can indeed order more," said Chen Lanjun.
As I recall, it seems that after some time, Pengcheng will propose a policy to shorten lunch breaks and save time for construction. The city's lunch break will be shortened to one hour, and that will be the golden age of boxed lunches.
We must seize this favorable wind quickly.
Chen Lanjun said to Ajing: "Well, write a report on expanding the production of lunch boxes in the next few days, and clearly list the amount of raw materials that need to be added. Send it to me after you finish writing it."
"Okay, no problem."
After deciding on the house, Chen Lanjun set out on the journey back to school.
It was from early morning to dusk again. When I was leaving the station, an old man in front of me slapped his thigh and shouted, "Where's my purse? Where's my purse?"
The people around looked at the uncle with sympathy.
Chen Lanjun frowned and stepped forward to remind him how to find the police.
Recently, with more and more people working in the south, petty theft cases have also gradually increased, which makes Chen Lanjun a little uneasy.
In another two years, the area around this train station will probably become a very chaotic place.
I still have to be more careful when I travel in the future.
When I returned to school, my classmates were still the same as before.
However, in the new semester, the hot topic among students became studying abroad.
"Have you heard? Some senior students have obtained places to study abroad. Should we also prepare?"
Even the dormitory head was a little tempted. After turning off the lights at night and before going to sleep, he asked, "I wonder what foreign countries are like? There must be a lot of tall buildings."
"Should it be like in the movies?" a roommate replied.
The only foreign countries they have access to, apart from movies and literature, are their imaginations.
Chen Lanjun did not participate in the conversation that night, but just listened quietly.
Anyway, she has no desire to go abroad. With her GPA of studying while doing business, she can't go abroad. She should still do what she should do. If she has classes, she will study hard. If she doesn't have classes, she will go to take care of the business of the Fourth Food Factory.
As sales channels in Xiangjiang and Pengcheng gradually open up, the production tasks of the Fourth Food Factory are now fully scheduled. In less than a year, the original contract amount has been achieved.
Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng came under the banyan tree to report to Chen Lanjun.
"The mission is accomplished," Tong Tong said, "but our superiors have given us a sales target for next year—"
She looked embarrassed: "It's doubled than before."
"That doesn't make sense?" Chen Lanjun was surprised. "How can the quota be doubled next year?"
She had never heard of the amount of profit that had to be turned in increasing so much before. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there...something preventing it?"
Could it be that he is another troublemaker like Director Qian who is unwilling to give in?
Pang Xiaopeng sighed, "It's not like they're targeting us in particular. I've heard that other factories' quotas have also increased. When I asked the higher-ups, they said our quota increase was the smallest. The companies in the north have seen the largest increases."
Although it's a complaint, it's not an impossible goal. Chen Lanjun thought about it and said, "Let's take it one step at a time and do the things in front of us first."
Once the snack shop in Hong Kong opens, the shipment volume will definitely increase.
Over the weekend, I received a telegram from Pengcheng saying that the house procedures had been completed and asking about the household registration matters.
Chen Lanjun suddenly realized that she was too busy and forgot to tell her parents the good news.
I thought my parents would be very happy, but the reply I received was not satisfactory.
"The matter of buying a house and changing the household registration seemed very sudden," Zheng Mei's mother wrote in her notes. "Your father and I have our own positions in the village-run enterprise. If we suddenly become non-agricultural households, we probably won't be able to continue working here. The current situation is not very good..."
Seeing this, Chen Lanjun frowned.
Even the state-owned enterprises in the provincial capital, such as the Fourth Food Factory, have seen their indicators rise so much. Factories in my parents' village will probably have to turn in even more profits.
The current situation is turbulent, and it is probably more serious for township enterprises. The furniture factory in the village is also facing difficulties, fearing that life and death will also occur.
She put the letter away and made a decision to go back to her hometown during the National Day holiday.
