Chapter 380 Buying Land, Visitors Arrive
As soon as Zhang's father sat down, he asked Li Yongfu about the land transactions in the suburbs of the county.
Li Yongfu was a little shocked. "Are you planning to buy land and build a house? Are you not planning to stay in the old house but move to this area?"
Li Yongshou, who was smoking a cigarette, pondered and said, "Wanwan just said that she wanted to build a row of bungalows at the end of your village. Now she wants to buy land and build houses. Can she keep up with the funds?"
Father Zhang nodded, "Sure, the girl has a partner in Beijing who is engaged in IT. The dividends have come this year, so building a house is not a problem. She has also registered a company. After the house is built, she wants to move the company here. The transportation here is more convenient, and it can save a lot of costs for shipping. It is also more convenient to recruit people. According to her plan, she will open a company and store on the first floor, and live on the second, third and fourth floors. She wants to buy about 1,000 square meters of land, 600 square meters for the house, and 400 square meters for the yard."
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped after hearing this.
Li Zhijie asked in astonishment, "It's so big! Our house is 150 square meters, which is not small. What does it mean to build a 600-square-meter house? Just buying the land will cost about 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. We also need to build a house and a yard. Add in the decoration and I think it will cost at least 2 to 3 million yuan!"
Father Zhang nodded and said slowly, "We all understand the truth, but this house is built for the long term. Plus, the girl wants to open a company and a store, so naturally we can only build it bigger. Moreover, our house in the city is small and old, and it won't be able to accommodate so many people when Bai Yan gets married. Now that the whole family is making money in our hometown, we might as well build a better house and live here in the future. My idea is very simple. Build a four-story house for our family to live in first, and then build another one when we have money in the future. This one will be left to the girl, after all, she paid the most."
After hearing Mr. Zhang's arrangements, everyone immediately looked at him with admiration.
The concept of favoring boys over girls is quite serious in Pu City, especially in the county town. Everyone has the same idea, which is to raise sons to provide for old age. Everything in the house is left to sons, as daughters will eventually get married. No matter how much you love them, you can't give them a house or something, unless the family is very rich.
It was really shocking to hear Mr. Zhang say such things in front of everyone.
Li Yongfu and Li Yongshou actually did not agree with Zhang's father's approach, but they couldn't say much. Besides, Zhang Baiyan had no objection, so they were even quieter.
Li Qingqing was so envious that she pulled Zhang Wanwan aside and muttered, "My uncle is so nice! My parents never thought of giving me a house or anything like that, and I didn't dare to think about it either."
Zhang Wanwan curled her lips in amusement and consoled him, "Just give you the money. You can build a house yourself even if you don't have one. And now that you have the money, it's up to you to spend it however you want. No one else can interfere."
"That's true!" Li Qingqing narrowed her eyes and nodded.
Since the house was mainly built for Zhang Wanwan, Li Yongfu and Li Yongshou could only discuss with Zhang Wanwan, including where to buy the land and what structure the house should be built. The group discussed for most of the day before finalizing the preliminary plan.
That afternoon, Li Yongfu took Zhang's father and Zhang Wanwan out for a walk. The county town was not big, but not small either. Although it is being vigorously developed, the government funds are limited, and all the suburbs are no longer within the planning scope. Zhang Wanwan simply looked for a place on the road leading to Xiqiao Village from the county town, and finally chose a place on a piece of undeveloped wasteland. This piece of wasteland is estimated to be several thousand acres. The land is vast and sparsely populated, so there are not many people nearby. There are a few cows grazing in the distance, and there are some farmlands further away. Next to it is a newly built road. Because there are not many houses or companies nearby, there are not many vehicles coming and going. It only takes about twenty to twenty-five minutes to ride an electric bike from here to Xiqiao Village, and it only takes about fifteen minutes to get to the county town. It is also fast to get on the highway, and it only takes about fifteen minutes. It is convenient to go anywhere.
Li Yongfu was worried at first that she would be attracted by a place where people already lived. If she bought it there, she would probably have to spend more money. But it wouldn't be necessary for this place. For this kind of land, one only had to find the village it belonged to and discuss it with the village chief, and it would cost about 500,000 yuan.
Sure enough, the next day Li Yongfu called Zhang's father and said that he had contacted the village chief and went to inquire about it. He was told that one thousand acres of land there would cost 550,000 yuan. This was before bargaining. After some bargaining, it would probably be reduced to 530,000 yuan.
Zhang Wanwan knew about this and didn't want to wait any longer, so she contacted Li Yongfu that day and met with the village chief again. She gave him some good wine and cigarettes, and sure enough, she bought the 1,000 square meters of land for 530,000 yuan.
Because it is the Spring Festival holiday and government departments are not at work, they can only wait until the eighth day of the first lunar month to go through the transfer procedures.
Before the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Yongshou brought a few people to help Zhang Wanwan repair the bungalow.
Everyone in the Zhang family is restless. They start to get busy again before they have even had a few days' rest. However, Zhang Wanwan is leisurely basking in the sun and playing with the puppy in the yard. Her life is so comfortable.
Tian Sen drove his BMW and finally reached the door of Zhang's old house. Hearing the noisy sounds of chickens and ducks in the livestock pen at the door, he was sure that this was Zhang Wanwan's home. He immediately came down with two bags of gifts and walked in slowly. He saw Zhang Wanwan dozing on a rattan chair in the yard and joked, "What a leisurely life!"
Zhang Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, met Tian Sen's teasing eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here without making any noise?"
As she spoke, she stood up, took Tian Sen to sit in the shade, and boiled water for him to make tea.
Tian Sen has been looking around the Zhang family's old house since he came in, and commented very pertinently: "It's a bit old, suitable for retirement!"
"Hahahaha," Zhang Wanwan was so amused that she explained after she recovered, "This house has a history of 40 to 50 years. It was built when my grandfather was alive. It would be strange if it is not old now. But it is by the sea! Houses were built like this in the past. You just get used to it. I live very comfortably here now. There is also a big yard. I don't have to worry about making any noise and letting everyone know. It's pretty good."
"It's pretty good! But it's not suitable for an ambitious young man like me!" Tian Sen did not forget to brag about it.
Zhang Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and made some tea before getting down to business. "Although I'm busy here, I'm also busy with the project. I just need you to keep providing me with new ideas. After all, I don't have any external contacts and don't know what the actual needs of the customers are. However, from the current situation, our product is still at the forefront."
