Li Dazhuang left quickly. No sooner had he left than Liu Ping couldn't help but say to Chen Feng, "What are you doing? Are you really going to build such a big house? How much money will that cost? Are you going to be the village chief?"
"What's the point of building a small one? You'll just have to upgrade to a bigger one later anyway. You might as well go for the best one from the start."
"I estimate it to be around 600,000. Although I don't have 600,000 right now, I've calculated that 600,000 in four months is enough time."
Anyway, the house will take time to build, and I can't just give him 600,000 yuan right away. I'll pay him as I go.
Chen Feng had enough time to make a profit.
"My God, that 600,000 is too much. Even a house worth 200,000 or 300,000 is quite luxurious. You don't often see that in the village."
"Why don't you think about it again? Do you really think you can save up 600,000 yuan in four months?" Liu Ping said with great concern.
"That's enough." Chen Feng's expression was calm, but his tone was extremely certain.
He's prepared to work overtime to make his fortune; he's determined to build that big house this year.
My family has been poor in the village for so many years, and we've been laughed at for so many years.
It's time to hold our heads high.
Seeing that Chen Feng had already made up his mind, Liu Ping simply sighed softly.
It's good that the child is motivated, but I hope he can understand just how difficult his choice really is.
Time passed quickly, and Li Dazhuang knocked on the door in the evening.
"Fengzi, are you at home?"
"Yes, come in," Chen Feng greeted.
Li Dazhuang pushed open the door and sat down opposite Chen Feng.
"I've almost finished my research. How about this?"
For the next half hour, Li Dazhuang explained his sketch to Chen Feng in detail. It was actually just a few things, nothing complicated.
"That's the tentative plan. What do you think?" Li Dazhuang asked.
Chen Feng was very satisfied with his sketch. Upon entering the courtyard, there was a two-story building, with a garage to the right of the building and a place for raising chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the backyard.
He combined the warehouse with the garage, making them connected, which makes everything very convenient.
"Sure, what's the approximate budget?" Chen Feng asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang hesitated for a moment. He pursed his lips and said, "I've done a rough calculation, and it will cost around 600,000. There are some things we haven't decided yet, so I don't know the exact amount."
"But based on my many years of experience, a fluctuation of around 30,000 yuan is enough."
This was pretty much what Chen Feng had guessed, so he nodded.
"Okay, then there shouldn't be any difficult points."
"Yes, I took a look at your house. The land area is not enough. Even if you tear it down and rebuild it now, expanding it as much as possible, it won't work."
"How do you plan to solve this problem?" Li Dazhuang asked, frowning.
After all, Chen Feng's house didn't have enough space, and he couldn't build the garage in the neighbor's yard.
“I know. Isn’t Grandma Chen’s family selling their land? They have enough space. I’ll go and talk to her about buying her land. Is that alright?” Chen Feng asked.
“It’s feasible, but the problem is there’s a thatched house on his land.” Li Dazhuang stroked his chin.
“Her thatched house had been leaking for several years and was about to collapse, but she just made do with it. Now her son has bought a house in the next city, and she is the only one left in the village.”
"So we took her there, and she's not coming back. Otherwise, how could she sell the land?"
"That thatched hut is about to collapse, it shouldn't be too difficult to demolish it, I've already built such a big house, aren't you going to give me any discount?"
Chen Feng handed him a cigarette and said.
Taking the cigarette, Li Dazhuang thought for a moment and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, since you said so, Fengzi, I'll dismantle it for you for free. Otherwise, the dismantling fee would be quite high."
When do you plan to start construction?
"Wait until I go to her house tomorrow to see if I can buy the land. If I can, you can start construction right away."
Chen Feng took a drag of his cigarette and spoke.
"Alright, let's wait until you take down the foundation first." Li Dazhuang wasn't in a hurry; after all, this wasn't a small job, and it had to be done slowly.
After seeing Li Dazhuang off, Chen Feng lay back down on the kang (a heated brick bed), lost in thought.
The next morning, Chen Feng called Lin Nian over. Lin Nian used to have a good relationship with her family, and having him there would help him put in a good word for her.
Lin Nian was filled with surprise after hearing Chen Feng's plan.
"Wow, bro, you're going to build such a big house?"
Chen Feng smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "Absolutely, if we're going to build one, let's build the best one."
Lin Nian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother. My family has a good relationship with her family. This land is for you to buy, not for anyone else. I can even help you negotiate a lower price."
"Whether or not to bargain doesn't matter, as long as it's not too outrageous." Chen Feng also knew that even if he bargained further, it would only be two or three hundred, which wouldn't have any crucial effect.
As long as the foundation can be removed, that's fine. Apart from her family's foundation, Chen Feng hasn't seen any other suitable properties for sale yet.
The two went out and headed to Grandma Chen's house. As soon as they entered, they saw Grandma Chen sweeping water in the yard.
"Grandma Chen, let me sweep for you," Lin Nian said, taking the broom from her.
"Oh dear, isn't this the Little New Year? Why are you here when it's raining so hard?"
"Fengzi, you're here too! I heard you've been panning for gold lately and made quite a bit of money," Grandma Chen said with a smile.
"Hey, don't listen to other people's nonsense, it's all rumors, there's not that much." Chen Feng stepped forward and piled up the clutter in the yard that hadn't been tidied up yet.
"Grandma Chen, I heard you're going to the city?" Lin Nian asked while scanning the map.
"Yes, your brother lives so far away, he can't keep going back and forth, he's worried about me."
"This house is uninhabitable now. I have no choice but to go. Selling the land will save me some trouble." Grandma Chen shook her head as she looked at her thatched house.
She had lived there for decades and had developed feelings for the place. If it weren't for not wanting to burden her children, she really wouldn't want to leave.
"Grandma Chen, how much do you want for this land?" Lin Nian asked.
“11,800 is fine. There’s also a vegetable garden in the backyard, sell that too,” Grandma Chen replied.
Chen Feng looked at it back and forth. To be honest, 11,800 yuan was quite reasonable, only a few hundred yuan more expensive.
Old people are like that; they all want to sell their things at a high price, and they treat anything they have as a treasure. It's understandable.
"Grandma Chen, why don't you just sell it to my brother? He's planning to build a house soon," Lin Nian said, leaning on his broom.
"You want to buy land to build a new house?" Grandma Chen looked at Chen Feng with some surprise when she heard this.
I knew he was making money, but I didn't expect him to make so much. He just bought a new car and still has enough money to build a new house.
"It's for future use; we'll have to buy it sooner or later anyway," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Alright, some people have indeed inquired about the price recently. If you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you." Granny Chen was shrewd as ever, and Ma was slippery as ever.
