Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Zhimin and Zheng Yuntao recommended three people. They'll come over in a bit, and you can have them interviewed too."
"If we can keep them, then there will be ten left."
Lu Yang asked Lin Hongshan to stay and help, and then rushed to the construction site without stopping.
The two-story building on the construction site has been completed, and a large TV, which looks to be about 20 inches, has been hung between the first and second floors.
The market's exterior walls are covered in white tiles, making it look very clean, which makes the large TV stand out.
On both sides of the two-story building, there are many stalls, each about 20 square meters, separated on three sides by cement walls. These cement walls are only 1.5 meters high and have awnings on top to provide shade.
These stalls cost 1,000 yuan per month; this is a provisional price, and the price will definitely increase in the future.
When Lu Yang arrived, the large TV was showing "Shanghai Bund," and many people were eating snacks bought from the nearby stalls while watching TV in a corner of the market.
It was very lively here, with at least a thousand people gathered. Not only were the stalls inside the two-story building rented out, but even the stalls outside were rented out.
Lu Yang bought a plate of rice noodle rolls and ate it as he walked. While he was eating, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.
He turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Yuntao who had spotted him.
"I thought you were celebrating the Chinese New Year at home at this time."
Lu Yang was somewhat surprised. He didn't bother Zheng Yuntao because he felt that Zheng was still celebrating the New Year and it wasn't convenient to disturb him at this time.
Zheng Yuntao said with a smile, "I was torn between opening the market on the 6th or the 8th. After discussing it with Zhimin, we felt that it was more important for things to go smoothly. As long as things go smoothly, we can make money. So we opened on the 6th. I've been hanging around here for the past two days."
As he spoke, he pulled Lu Yang upstairs, and they went up the stairs to the top floor.
The roof of this two-story building is flat, and there are sunshades, tables, chairs and benches on it.
"Come, come, sit down. Doesn't it feel like you're standing on the top of a mountain, looking down at all the other mountains?"
Zheng Yuntao exclaimed with emotion, "I'm standing on 600,000 yuan!"
Lu Yang knew he was referring to the two small buildings downstairs. When the family had just separated a year ago, he never expected that he would accomplish such a big thing.
"I always carry the ledger with me, let's do the math!"
Zheng Yuntao took a small notebook out of his bag and handed it to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang nodded, opened the notebook, and found that Zheng Yuntao remembered very detailed information.
The two-story building eventually reached 800 square meters, with eight 40-square-meter rooms, one 60-square-meter room, and a bathroom on each side.
There are a total of sixteen rooms, each 40 square meters in size. The rent for each room is 3,500 yuan, resulting in a net monthly profit of 56,000 yuan.
The other two 60-square-meter units were given to local vendors to sell goods for free, so they are not included.
There were a total of forty stalls outside, and they made a net profit of 40,000, so the total net profit was 96,000.
Electricity costs, various wear and tear repair costs, and the market manager's salary of 3,000 yuan per month, they netted 93,000 yuan.
Lu Yang asked Zheng Yuntao to keep 9,600 yuan, and he also counted out 9,600 yuan to mail to Cheng Lin later, as previously agreed.
"Doesn't this mean you can make so much money every month without doing anything?"
Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh. These days, if you have some capital and invest it correctly, making money is still quite easy.
"That's right, I've already imagined myself lying here for the rest of my life."
“I can’t even earn 9,600 a month by setting up a stall.”
Zheng Yuntao grinned from ear to ear, his face beaming with joy.
Lu Yang didn't call him out on it, but instead smiled and said, "You're definitely not satisfied with earning this little bit of money in a month."
Zheng Yuntao stood up, looked at me, and said, "Zhou Zhimin's uncle's relatives even came to cause trouble, but our monthly rent of 6,000 yuan was well spent, and those two local bullies immediately drove them away."
Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "This piece of land has great potential, it's just a pity that we had to do this for now because of those thugs, but at least it's still profitable."
Zheng Yuntao rubbed his nose and said, "What else do you plan to do with this land? I think it's fine as it is now."
Lu Yang said seriously, "Don't I own a restaurant? If the restaurant does well, I plan to expand it here."
Zheng Yuntao looked on with envy: "I envy you for being rich and having so many ideas."
After chatting for a while, Lu Yang got up and left.
When he returned to the hotel, Ge San and Lin Hongshan had already recruited thirteen people.
Lin Hongshan said earnestly, "We will start training tomorrow. The training period will last for half a month, and we will officially open for business after the training."
Lu Yang nodded, then took a closer look at the crowd and was stunned.
He recognized a familiar face among the group – Qi Xuesong, whom he had met at a restaurant in his previous life.
This person only worked at the restaurant for three months, but he was cheerful and they got along well.
Lu Yang was deeply impressed by him because this person had once saved his life.
Back then, he was exhausted both physically and mentally from being exploited by the Lu family. One night, he was walking down the street in a daze after get off work and almost got hit by a car. It was this person who risked his life to drag him to the side of the road.
Lu Yang carefully recalled the reason he resigned in his previous life, which seemed to be due to heart discomfort.
So he walked up to Qi Xuesong and asked, "Brother, do you have a heart condition?"
"I have a slight heart problem, but it's not serious."
Qi Xuesong was taken aback at first. He really didn't expect his boss to talk to him, and he was quite surprised.
"I sometimes experience a slight heartache, but it's not serious and doesn't affect my work."
Qi Xuesong desperately needed this job. He wasn't physically strong enough to do manual labor, so he could only look for easy jobs. He was applying for the receptionist position.
This guy has a good appearance; although he's a man, he's quite eloquent.
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "Your heart is definitely having problems. Come on, let's go get it checked now. If there's a problem, I'll pay for your treatment."
"Your appearance perfectly matches our hiring criteria, and I will definitely hire you."
Everyone else looked at Lu Yang with surprise, but Lu Yang didn't care. He had to get Qi Xuesong treated as soon as possible.
In his previous life, he was delayed due to heart disease and died alone in a rented room before the age of thirty.
Qi Xuesong was completely bewildered, but when he heard that Lu Yang would definitely recruit him, he still agreed.
"Yangzi has been acting very strangely ever since the family split up. Don't you think he sometimes does things that are illogical?"
As Ge San watched Lu Yang and Qi Xuesong leave, he couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Hongshan didn't even look up, and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter, as long as he's still Yangzi."
"He can help us get rich. We just need to do whatever he says."
Ge San nodded in deep agreement, and then went back to arranging training for the remaining employees.
