The land price is a fixed price. Even if Su Wei buys it, she has to pay the actual price. The land belongs to the public. Her second uncle can sell the land to her, but the village officials are unwilling to accept a price that is too low.
Unlike Dong Qing, Su Wei could easily come up with three or five hundred thousand yuan even if he was broke.
I'm really not capable. The restaurant has only been open for a short time, how much money do I have? Buying ten acres of land isn't something that can be done with just 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Su Wei asked, "How much per acre will you sell me that land for? I'm thinking of opening a hotel there someday, and once it's sold, I won't be able to buy it anymore."
My second uncle pondered for a long time and said, "If the two markets had opened before, I could have sold you the land for four thousand yuan per mu. But now it's really impossible. Just a few days ago, the land price has already risen to nine thousand. Now, even with nine thousand yuan, you can't buy such a good place. I can accept two thousand yuan less per mu, but after all, that land belongs to the village. If it's too little, I really can't make the decision."
Su Wei felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it. When Dong Qing bought the land, it cost 1,000 yuan per mu, and ten mu could be bought for 10,000 yuan. Now she needed to spend 70,000 yuan to buy that land. In less than three years, she had wasted 60,000 yuan. And that was only because her second uncle was looking out for her.
The land near the train station is now prime real estate. Without his second uncle's backing, he couldn't buy it even for 9,000 yuan per mu. The key point is that the village is unwilling to sell that land no matter how much it costs per mu.
Su Wei said, "I bought that land, but I don't have the money right now. Let's sign the land purchase contract first. My restaurant can earn more than 1,000 yuan a day. Can I pay it back when I have the money in a while?"
What could his own niece's second uncle say? He said, "Fine, I'll go out and talk to a few village officials now. We really can't do without discussing these lands with them separately."
Su Wei said, "Second Uncle, I know your personality. I can't let you take the blame for me. Don't go tonight. Just hold a meeting of village officials tomorrow morning."
"I'm just a small villager, I don't care about these things. I'll buy a few cartons of cigarettes and give them to some officials tonight. These days, you really can't get by without giving gifts."
After hearing this, my second uncle didn't say anything more. Just because he was upright didn't mean everyone else was like him, and he wasn't unaware that gifts could be effective. He said, "Alright, go ahead."
Su Wei said goodbye to her second uncle and aunt, stood up and walked out of her second uncle's house.
Su Wei returned home from her second uncle's house, took out more than 1,000 yuan from the room, and rode a tricycle with her husband out of the house.
The couple rode their tricycle to the wholesale market and bought more than a dozen cases of wine and dozens of cartons of cigarettes, filling the entire tricycle.
When they returned home, Su Wei asked her husband to carry two cases of liquor, while she carried two packs of cigarettes and left the house with her husband.
The couple arrived at the door of a village official's residence. Su Wei took the two cases of liquor from her husband's arms and said, "We don't need you anymore, go back first. I can handle the gift-giving myself."
There's really no need for him to give gifts. After hearing his wife's words, Chen Hong nodded and turned to walk back.
After her husband left, Su Wei went to the door and knocked. Everyone was at home watching TV, and the door opened quickly.
Su Wei and her husband made several trips to deliver the gifts from the village officials to their home.
Gifts are always effective, and since her second uncle is the village party secretary, no one would be a fool to stop Su Wei from buying the land. They all readily agreed, and the price was even reduced by another thousand yuan, to six thousand yuan per mu.
Land prices had only been rising for a few days when the village officials said the price per acre was the price per acre. Who would know later whether Su Wei bought the land before or after the wholesale market opened? They could just write a few days earlier on the land sale contract date; it's easy to cover up such things.
The gifts she gave away not only didn't lose money, but actually made a huge profit; ten thousand yuan could buy so much cigarettes and alcohol.
Finally, I went to my second uncle's house and told him the result. My second uncle was naturally happy to save 10,000 yuan. No matter what, he always sideed with his own niece.
He said, "I didn't expect my niece to be so capable. You can go back now. I'll have a meeting tomorrow morning, then print out the contract and bring it to your house for you to sign."
The saying "it's easier to get things done when you have connections" is absolutely true. If it weren't for her second uncle, she wouldn't have been able to buy that piece of land even for 9,000 yuan per mu, let alone save so much money. Su Wei knew this perfectly well.
When Su Wei returned home, Chen Hong asked, "Did you agree on everything?"
Su Wei was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It's all settled. Six thousand yuan per mu, we got ten mu of land here for sixty thousand yuan, and we can sign the contract tomorrow."
Chen Hong happily hugged his wife, kissed her forehead, and said, "I never expected my wife to be so capable; I really couldn't do that."
Chen Hong's words make perfect sense. With his rigid personality, he's really not good at these kinds of gift-giving matters; he's definitely not as good as his wife in this regard.
The next morning at 10 a.m., Dong Qing led the company's senior executives into the comprehensive department store wholesale market. It had been a week since the market opened, and business was still booming, with merchants having prepared plenty of goods.
Dong Qing saw a young woman carrying two large shopping bags walking towards them. He smiled and said to her, "Miss, you've bought so much stuff, please put it down and rest for a bit. May I ask you a few questions?"
The young woman put down two large bags, a wary look on her face, and asked, "Do we know each other?"
Manager Gu Yurou said, "Young lady, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Dong Qing, the general manager of our Yusheng Company."
The young woman smiled and said, "Oh, so you're the general manager. I'm sorry for not being polite. Please speak freely, and I'll answer all your questions."
Dong Qing smiled and said, "You're too kind, young lady. Are you satisfied with your purchases from our wholesale market? Please feel free to give us any suggestions you may have, and we will definitely make improvements in the near future."
The young woman said, "Since the general manager asked me this, I'll just be frank. Your wholesale market has a plentiful supply of goods, and the variety of products is also very complete. The goods are cheaper than those in wholesale markets all over the country. You can tell just by looking at the bustling scene in the market. The goods here leave us merchants with a lot of room to make a profit. I will come here to purchase goods again next time."
However, there are some shortcomings. The bus I was on parked on the ground, which was very inconvenient for moving around with the goods. If you could improve the parking lot, I would have no regrets.
Dong Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your valuable suggestion, young lady. Our mall has just opened and we didn't expect such a large traffic flow. This was a mistake on our part, and I apologize to you. We have already made a plan to improve this situation and will definitely do so soon. Do you have any other questions, young lady?"
The young woman smiled and said, "I've never met a company general manager as approachable as you. It's really strange that your market isn't booming. That's all for my questions. You guys get back to work. I'm going to load the goods onto the truck and come back to get more."
"This girl is so good at praising people." After saying that, Dong Qing said to the staff next to him, "Help the girl carry the goods to the car."
The staff member picked up the girl's luggage and said, "Girl, let me help you."
