"I don't recommend you buy the factory," Huang Run said solemnly, scanning their faces. "I know you want to set up a factory, so I specifically asked around. There's a piece of land in the west of the city that's being planned to be divided into an industrial park. I suggest you consider that."
Xia Youyou was delighted, she sat up straight, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Brother Huang Run, are you talking about our school?"
"Almost, but there's still some distance." Huang Run particularly liked her soft, tender voice, and even his earlier rough voice seemed to relax a bit. "It's still under planning over there, and it hasn't been fully approved yet."
"How long will it take?" Cao An asked.
"Within the past few days. The last time I asked, I contacted Youyou through the intercom but received no response."
They were out last week, so naturally they didn't receive the news, but it's not too late now.
"So what's the specific plan? Should we rent or sell?"
"It should be dividing the area and selling land." Huang Run was a little hesitant, "Do you have enough funds to buy it?" As far as he knew, it was a considerable amount of money, especially since the factory occupied a large area and money would be needed for construction in the later stage.
Cao An gave a meaningful smile, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Are you worried that we don't have enough money?"
Huang Run couldn't stand his careless look and kicked him, "Be serious."
He dodged the attack deftly, then turned and attacked back.
The two of them just sat there and started doing leg cross.
Xia Youyou sighed and leaned on Qi Siling's arm, "My brother said I never grew up, but I think he's just like a child!"
The man looked down at her with a smile, his big hand still holding hers. When he heard her words, he just stroked the back of her white hand.
When they finally stopped, Huang Run continued, "I'll go ask you guys after get off work. When I have definite news, I'll let Youyou know."
The three of them thought they would be able to see the factory today, but unexpectedly, things turned out to be bright, so they all nodded in agreement.
"Give the fruits to your colleagues in the bureau. We brought a lot." Cao An opened the sack, revealing some fruits inside. "Try the jackfruit first, take the durian back to your sister-in-law and children, and share the others with everyone." It's difficult to get food these days, but fruits are not so easy to buy either.
Huang Run looked at the candied oranges and longans in disbelief, "Where did you rob this from? And how do you eat this?" He pointed at the jackfruit on the ground.
"Just eat it, why bother with us!" Cao An glared at him, breaking open a candied orange with his bare hands, dividing it into four pieces and handing it to him, "Try it."
Seeing him start eating, she continued, "Just cut the jackfruit and eat the red flesh inside. It's very sweet. As for the shreds, you can take them out and stir-fry them, and the core can be boiled."
Huang Run was so sweetened by the pulp and juice of the sugar orange that he ate it while walking outside, ready to call for help. He didn't even hear what Cao An said about the "thread" and "core".
"Xiao Wang, several people from the bureau have been called over." He said as he ate, his mouth mumbling and some juice splashing out of his mouth.
Xiao Wang was in the yard. When he saw him chuckle like that, he was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly turned around and called for help.
Xia Youyou was amused by his behavior and reached out to Cao An to ask for a candied orange.
Qi Siling glanced at Huang Run, making sure he wasn't paying attention, and took out a handkerchief from the space so she could wipe her hands later.
Several remaining police officers quickly gathered outside the office. Huang Run directed them to move the sacks out. "We'll divide the sacks into portions based on the number of people in our bureau. This big jackfruit can be taken directly to the kitchen and peeled by Uncle Li."
Xiao Wang was curious, "How do you eat this?"
Huang Run's hands were still stained with juice. He picked up another candied orange and was about to peel it. He was stunned when he heard this, then turned to look at Cao An.
Cao An couldn't help but kicked him on the butt, causing Huang Run to stagger. He angrily told Xiao Wang how to eat it again.
The yard was bustling with activity, and the two large sacks of fruit were soon divided up.
Cao An and the other two were not in a hurry to leave. After they distributed the fruit with them, it was almost time to get off work, so they could go with Huang Run to ask.
A few people sat in the office for a while. After Huang Run finished the pile of work on hand, he stood up and led a few people to the Planning Bureau.
Cao An and Huang Run were riding in front and talking, while Qi Siling was following slowly with Xia Youyou.
This time, he didn't tie anything on the back seat, and there was no reason for Xia Youyou to sit in his arms, so he could only ride in frustration.
Xia Youyou was wearing a light green long skirt and a white knitted boa today. Her hair was tied into a braid on the side of her shoulder with a light green headband, making her look pure and gentle. The wind blew her skirt, revealing the snow-white skin of her ankles.
The temperature in Beijing had begun to drop in November of the Gregorian calendar. She felt a little cold and tried to curl up her body so that the man could block the wind.
Qi Siling grabbed her hand on her waist and turned around to talk to her.
"cold?"
"It's okay." It's still bearable.
Afraid that she would catch a cold, Qi Siling rode even slower.
The few of them quickly arrived at the Planning Bureau and parked their bicycles in the shed. Huang Run led them in and went straight to the director's office.
Huang Run knocked on the door, exchanged greetings with the director, then introduced himself to the people behind him and explained his purpose.
The director's surname was Hou. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked rather gentle and bookish. He politely shook hands with several people and greeted them.
"You've arrived at the right time. Planning is indeed underway there, and the documents have been approved today. But I want to ask you, what are you planning to do with the land?"
Cao An said truthfully: "Machinery Factory, I am a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Hua University."
Director Hou was a little surprised. He thought he was a technical worker in a machinery factory, but he didn't expect that he was still studying.
"Well, the park covers a total area of 5 square kilometers, and 7,500 mu of land has been planned. Are you planning to build a large factory, a medium-sized one, or a small one?"
Cao An and Qi Siling exchanged a glance, then looked at Xia Youyou. They hadn't known this would happen, having assumed they'd just buy the factory outright.
Xia Youyou pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "How do you plan to divide the park? Will it be sold or rented? How much space will be allocated for large, medium and small factories?"
Director Hou seemed surprised that she would be so thoughtful. The two men who seemed to be in charge remained silent and looked at him in approval. He was puzzled for a moment, then stood up and returned to his desk. He opened the drawer and took out a folded blueprint.
"This is the plan map of the park, you can choose directly. As for the price, it stipulates that industrial land is 200 yuan per mu, and there is no rental price." This means that you can only buy.
All three of them beamed with joy. This price was definitely a steal! Remember, the factory they'd wanted to buy previously cost 150,000 yuan! Even if they wanted to buy this park, 100 acres would only cost 20,000 yuan. How much is 100 acres? Square meters! That's the size of ten large football fields!
It’s almost as big as Xia Youyou’s space!
This time, Xia Youyou didn't need to speak, Cao An had already made the decision.
"We want a large one, a hundred acres!"
