Chapter 206 Renting a House Again, Borrowing a Chicken to Spin Eggs



If they move the factory, it's like falling out with the landlord, and they'll have to terminate their lease on the house they're currently living in.

He Wenlin and her mother went to look for a house nearby again.

He Wenlin has some working capital since she runs a business, so when renting a house, she should consider a detached house with a higher level of security.

The mother and daughter spent more than an hour looking around and rented a house for 500 yuan a month.

The house is newer and better than Song Bo's old house; the cement floor has been completely painted white.

The stairwell houses the kitchen and toilet, and it's fairly clean.

Although it's a two-story building, there are only four bedrooms in total. Since Mrs. He will be in charge of the food factory in the future, Mr. and Mrs. He will definitely have to live there.

So four bedrooms are enough.

However, it's a 20-minute walk from here to the fast food restaurant, which is a bit further than before.

He Wenlin paid three months' rent and a deposit of 500 yuan in one lump sum.

Then they changed the door lock and called to schedule the installation of a security door.

The lease on my current apartment hasn't expired yet, so I'm not in a hurry to move. We've installed a security door here, so I'll move in after everything is settled.

"I hope this landlord has a conscience and doesn't raise the rent arbitrarily." Mrs. He is scared now.

Moving house or factory is exhausting and mentally taxing.

“Next year we’ll take out a loan to demolish and rebuild the fast food restaurant building. We’ll build a six- or seven-story building, with the first floor for the shop, the second floor for our own living, and the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors for rent,” He Wenlin said. “That way we won’t have to worry about it.”

"Building a six- or seven-story building, plus interior decoration, would probably cost at least seven or eight hundred thousand yuan."

"I'll live in the house myself and have it nicely decorated, then rent out the upstairs. A simple renovation will suffice; it won't cost that much, but it will definitely cost around 500,000."

I checked the area of ​​our land. If we build a single-room house with a private bathroom, we can make at least five single rooms per floor. If we build a seven-story house, that would be twenty-five rooms that can be rented out. But it will be at least three years before our house is finished and ready to be rented out.

Three years later, a single room will definitely rent for an average of 180 yuan a month. With 25 rooms, the monthly rent will be more than 4,000 yuan, and the annual rent will be more than 50,000 yuan!

The rent can cover the monthly mortgage payment. Most importantly, the rent will increase in the future. A single room with a private bathroom might cost four or five hundred a month in six or seven years, but the amount we owe will remain the same for the monthly mortgage payment.

Look, we bought a house in Baijia Village with a loan of 55,000 yuan, to be repaid over five years, with a monthly payment of over 1,000 yuan. If we borrowed 300,000 yuan and took out a loan for six or seven years, the rent would just cover the monthly payment, but after a few years, we would be making a pure profit.

If you deposit over 300,000 yuan in a bank, you'll only earn around 10,000 yuan in interest a year. But if we build houses to rent out, even if the rent doesn't increase, we can still earn tens of thousands of yuan a year.

Saving money is really not as good as investing in a house. You and Dad think that taking out a loan is working for the bank, but if you think about it from another perspective, if you use the borrowed money well, wouldn't it be like using a borrowed chicken to make an egg?

"Our three stores plus the food factory generate six or seven thousand yuan in revenue a day. Taking on a loan of several hundred thousand yuan is no problem for us."

On the way back to the fast food restaurant, He Wenlin spared no effort in instilling the concept of "borrowing a chicken to lay an egg" in her mother.

He Wenlin could tell that her mother was no longer as resistant to the loan as she had been at the beginning.

That's progress.

Progress is a good thing; as for other things, we'll take it one step at a time.

...

At 2:40 p.m., Wang Daqiang drove his van and picked up He's parents.

He Wenlin and Lin Fei work at a fast food restaurant.

Several factories are requiring overtime work today, so time is tight and the task is heavy.

For the afternoon snacks, He Wenlin prepared two options:

Option A: Pounded chili and preserved egg, stir-fried celery with minced meat and fried tofu, stir-fried cabbage with lard.

Option B: Stir-fried pork liver with chili peppers, stir-fried celery with minced meat and fried tofu, and stir-fried cabbage with lard.

In addition, He Wenlin also asked Lin Fei to make two pots of hand-pulled rice using two 5-liter rice cookers.

A few days ago, He Wenlin taught him and his father how to make hand-grabbed rice, and everyone tried it and praised it highly.

Lin Fei promoted it at noon today, and seven people from the Bosi Factory got curious and each ordered one.

The portion of hand-grabbed rice that was packed to go was large, and one pot couldn't serve seven people, so Lin Fei made two pots.

Making rice with your hands isn't difficult, especially for someone like Lin Fei who already has a foundation in cooking.

At 4:40, the aroma started bubbling out, making it incredibly tempting.

After the rice cooker tripped, I waited a few more minutes before unplugging it and opening the lid.

"This hand-grabbed rice needs to be mixed before packing, otherwise some will have too much vegetables and some won't." He Wenlin taught Tang Caihong and Li Xuehua while she was making the dish. "Each serving should have four pieces of pork ribs, no more and no less, and it should be the same every time, otherwise the customers will have complaints."

When we were making it, we calculated the quantity and cost.

The ribs used are good spare ribs, not miscellaneous ribs, but they are cut into small pieces, otherwise we wouldn't make any money.

After all the dishes were cooked, Mr. He returned home.

Lin Fei was even more excited than He Wenlin: "Uncle, the house is all sorted out?"

Mr. He nodded: "Yes, it's all taken care of. The locks have been changed, and I've contacted the security door installer. They've agreed to come and install it tomorrow morning."

He Wenlin: "My mom hasn't come back?"

“Your mother didn’t come back. She hired two people over there, and your mother is leading them in cleaning.”

He Ma got angry whenever she saw Song Bo, thinking that she should pack up her own house and move there as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

Since Aunt He hasn't come back, there's no one to make the egg roll batter at the food factory.

When Aunt He left, she prepared quite a lot, but it's been almost three hours now, so it should be about time.

Just as the dishes were ready, He Wenlin went to the food factory.

It's a good opportunity to talk to them about the relocation.

After He Wenlin finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

As locals, they knew exactly how far Baijia Village was.

It takes two hours to travel back and forth every day, which they were naturally unhappy about, and someone immediately said it was too far and they wouldn't go.

He Wenlin said, "I know it's a bit far. I wasn't planning on moving, but the rent here has doubled. If I don't move, I won't be able to make any money."

Those who are willing to go will receive an extra 20 yuan subsidy each month. As for meals, I will prepare a refrigerator and microwave, so you can bring your own food.

However, two night shifts will be required in the future. The night shift allowance is three yuan per night, and everyone else will work the day shift after deducting their rest time.

If none of you want to come with me, that's fine. I'll compensate each of you with twenty yuan for transportation so you can find new jobs. Think about it after you get back and give me your answer tomorrow.

He Wenlin doesn't have the money to buy a car right now, otherwise we could arrange for a car to pick her up and drop her off.

When this news came out, the people in the factory were talking about it. They didn't blame He Wenlin; on the contrary, they could understand her.

They cursed Song Bo in their hearts, thinking that if it weren't for Song Bo, He Wenlin wouldn't have moved the factory.

Since He Wenlin doesn't need to move the factory, it will be more convenient for them to commute to and from get off work.

The next day, Song Bo heard about He Wenlin moving her factory.

He rushed over in a panic and demanded, "Are you moving your factory?"
