"It's a designated route, it just costs a little money. Their school sends students on study tours every semester."
Cheng Lin said in a calm tone.
Lu Yang looked at him: "Aren't you planning to pursue further studies?"
Cheng Lin quickly waved her hand: "I get a headache as soon as I look at books. Huiying can read all the books in my house."
Lu Yang was speechless. It was only in this era that it was so rare to see a couple where the woman hadn't even finished high school marrying a college student.
However, seeing Lu Yang's demeanor, it seemed that his relationship with Xu Huiying was quite good, so he stopped worrying unnecessarily.
After they finished discussing their plans, they all went home. Lu Yang was already a little sleepy, so he pulled Yao Lili home and went straight to bed.
Yao Lili thought about it and realized that she couldn't rely on Lu Yang for everything. He knew more about garment factories, so she changed her clothes and drove out to find a suitable factory.
Lu Yang had no idea when she left; he only knew that Yao Lili had called two waiters.
When he woke up in the afternoon, he found the room empty and he was all alone.
He got up and cooked a meal for his family before opening a bottle of red wine and slowly drinking it.
As it was getting dark, Tian Zhaodi, Lu Xing, and Lu Yue rushed back carrying groceries.
The three of them had rosy cheeks and looked very happy.
Lu Yang had already prepared the meal, and Tian Zhaodi quickly scolded, "Couldn't you have waited for me to come back and cook? You finally got a few days off and came back to stay."
Lu Yang waved his hand: "Anyway, I have time. You guys haven't tasted my cooking in a long time. Where's Lili?"
Tian Zhaodi looked bewildered: "We didn't go out together, so I'm not sure. It's so late, let's call him quickly."
Lu Yang took out his phone, just about to make a call, when Yao Lili opened the door and came in. He was wearing a bright red scarf, but his face was still red from the cold.
As soon as she entered, she excitedly said, "We found three places, and the environment is quite nice."
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Where are they all?"
Yao Lili pointed to the provincial capital map on the wall and said, "The old fertilizer plant in the western suburbs and the new fertilizer plant were moved to another place a long time ago because of environmental pollution."
"There's a vacant lot to the south. I heard there used to be illegal buildings there, but they were later demolished."
"The last place is closest to us. It's behind the state-owned garment factory. It used to be the factory area, but in recent years the factory's performance has been poor, so it's been left idle. The factory plans to sell this area."
Of the three places, Lu Yang naturally liked the state-owned garment factory area the most.
He recalled that the state-owned garment factory gradually ceased production starting in 1992 and went bankrupt completely in 1994.
It was resold several times before being bought by a merchant from the south, who then opened a clothing factory.
The fertilizer plant in the western suburbs was too polluting, so he didn't plan to go there.
As for that vacant lot, that's even less likely; it would take a lot of time just to build a factory there.
Moreover, the investment will definitely be substantial, and it's possible that production won't begin until July of this year.
After thinking it over, Lu Yang turned to Yao Lili and said, "Let's go take a look at the factory area behind the garment factory tomorrow."
Yao Lili thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I would prefer you to buy that vacant lot, so you can build whatever you want on it."
Lu Yang was a little puzzled: "There are already existing factory buildings, so why do you prefer that empty plot of land? Do you really want to build one that looks exactly like the garment factory in Guangzhou?"
Yao Lili said helplessly, "That branch factory area is very dilapidated, and we also need to renovate it. Moreover, the factory area is very small, and we can't build many rooms."
“Their original territory wasn’t enough for us to operate, their only advantage is that the price is cheaper.”
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look at that branch factory first. Since the price is cheap, we can buy it first."
“Let’s go check out that vacant lot. If the price is right, we’ll buy it and build a factory there.”
Yao Lili thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that too extravagant? Let's not tie up all our funds here."
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "We didn't tie up that much capital."
The next morning, the two first went to see the factory area behind the state-owned garment factory.
The factory gate was rusty and crooked, with a lock hanging on it, like it was just for show.
Yao Lili was supposed to arrive the day before, but there was nothing inside the key, so no one came to keep an eye on them.
The two unlocked the door easily and quickly went inside.
Yao Lili looked around and whispered, "This place is even smaller than I imagined. When I came yesterday, I didn't come in; I just looked at it from outside through the gate."
After saying that, she kept shaking her head at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said in a low voice, "Let's talk about the price. I'm quite interested in this place."
Yao Lili was somewhat incredulous as the two of them walked through the snow-covered ground.
Once you leave the factory area, go find the person in charge; this area is under the jurisdiction of the deputy factory manager.
Someone went directly to the deputy factory director and explained their purpose. The deputy factory director said with a stern face, "Although that factory area is dilapidated, it is close to our state-owned garment factory."
“This street is basically full of factories, so the price can’t be too low. 1 million. If you agree, we’ll transfer the contract first. If you don’t agree, then forget it.”
Lu Yang stared at him and asked, "Can you decide to sell the country's land?"
The deputy factory director calmly said, "The factory's performance hasn't been very good lately, and the higher-ups have approved a document allowing us to sell some of our assets."
Lu Yang understood from his words that the factory's profits were declining year by year, and they had begun to cut their losses to save themselves.
He nodded and said, "Okay, 1 million, let's sign the contract now."
The deputy factory director was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Lu Yang to agree so readily.
The factory didn't say 1 million; he took a cut.
But since Lu Yang had said that, he immediately led Lu Yang to the finance department.
He told the finance manager, and Lu Yang readily called the bank to transfer 1 million yuan to the garment factory's account.
Then, at the garment factory, you gave the transfer contract to Lu Yang, and both parties went to the land bureau and the industry and commerce bureau to complete the transfer.
The two parted ways with the deputy director of the state-owned garment factory at the entrance of the Industry and Commerce Bureau and headed straight for the open space.
When he arrived at the open space, he finally understood why Yao Lili was so fond of it—because the land was really big.
Roughly speaking, it's at least 5,000 square meters, such a large area, and it's completely empty.
It was all covered in snow, and there were hardly any footprints on it, indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time.
The two stood in the cold wind, looking around and taking in the entire piece of land.
After looking around, Lu Yang was very satisfied with the place.
So he asked Yao Lili to call Mr. Chen, who was selling the land.
Upon hearing that Lu Yang wanted to buy land, Mr. Chen immediately said seriously, "That piece of land is very large, and as you know, the surrounding land is extremely valuable now, and housing prices have been rising continuously."
"If you build houses there, you'll definitely make a lot of money."
While Mr. Chen was speaking to him, there was other background noise coming through the phone.
It sounds like someone is liquidating assets, counting them over and over.
