Chapter 304
Two days later, Xiaopang Ge finally returned to Nanning City exhausted. His first stop was not home or the company, but went straight to "Su Ji".
There was also a van that came along with them. A fat guy got out of the van with a black briefcase tucked under his arm and hurried into "Su Ji".
Su Yuanzheng greeted him: "Xiaopang is back, what would you like to eat?"
"Uncle Yuan, I'll eat later. Is Miaomiao home?"
"Yes, I'll go call her out."
After Su Miao came out, the fat guy said, "I brought your mechanical worker back for you. The car can't drive into the alley, so we have to move the machine directly in."
The young and middle-aged men in the store came out to help and moved the machines into the workshop.
Su Miao looked at everyone holding an accessory and said, "Little Fatty, did you pull this apart? You'll have to put it together yourself later, right?"
"No, no, the guy who just drove over is the technician from the business, his last name is Li, and he's responsible for the installation."
"Driving all the way from Shenzhen, and having it installed right here? That's pretty good service..."
"Of course. Don't you see how much you paid? This machine has a three-year warranty, and they'll come and fix it if it breaks down."
After moving all the parts into the operating room prepared by Su Miao, the fat guy introduced the technician who drove over, "Mr. Li, this girl is the buyer of the machine, Ms. Su."
Engineer Li looked at the young Su Miao without showing any surprise. He said calmly, "Ms. Su, our machine comes with three guarantees: delivery, packaging, and repair. Can I start working now?"
Su Miao admired his quiet and down-to-earth spirit and nodded, "Sure, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."
Engineer Li was alone with a toolbox and started to install the machine without anyone's help.
This machine was not big, about the same size as the desk in Su Miao's school. She squatted beside it and looked at the other one carefully, and she already knew its general structure and working principle.
In fact, it is a very simple electric-driven rotation that uses pressure and blades to cut the material into strips. The thickness of the strips can be changed by adjusting the blade spacing.
If he had the right parts, Su Miao could assemble one himself, but the biggest problem now was that the parts were not as readily available as they would be ten years later.
It takes a lot of time to find so many suitable parts, and time is money, so she just paid the money to save the effort.
However, in the future, if it’s just simple damage, there should be no need for them to come all the way to repair it, she can handle it.
Twenty minutes later, the electric strip cutting machine was installed. Engineer Li plugged in the power supply and said, "Ms. Su, here is the switch. Press it and the machine will start. Be careful when using it. Don't put your head, hands, or legs in it, otherwise you will be seriously injured. You can use the material to test the machine now."
Su Miao brought two papayas, and Su Hui and the aunts also came over to look.
Turn on the switch, the machine will make a starting sound, drop the papaya from the upper opening, and two seconds later, the cut papaya strips will fall into the basket from the lower exit.
The aunts were amazed by the high efficiency of the machine and praised it repeatedly:
"Wow! That's fast! At this rate, it can take on ten of me!"
"Yeah, before, we needed everyone to work together for a whole day to cut all the papayas we needed. With this, maybe two people can do it in a morning."
"It's so convenient. Just scrape the skin and throw it in."
After testing the machine and finding no problems, Su Miao invited Fatty and Mr. Li to the restaurant for dinner. The practice of making porridge is quite common in Guangdong, so Mr. Li did not find it strange. However, the Laoyou pork offal whetted his appetite. It was the first time for him to eat Laoyou-style dishes, and he found it amazing.
After dinner, Su Miao paid the balance of the purchase price of the machine in cash.
After driving for a whole day, Mr. Li was very tired, so Brother Xiaopang took him to the guesthouse to rest. Su Miao asked Brother Xiaopang to come to the store after he had rested, because she had something to say to him.
Su Miao thought that Little Fatty would not be able to come until tomorrow at the earliest, but he did not expect that he would come just a moment later.
The two of them were drinking tea in the living room in the backyard. The fat guy said, "I didn't drive, so I'm not very tired. Besides, isn't it a good idea to come to your place to rest?"
"Brother Xiaopang, I've noticed that your physique has improved since you lost weight, and you look much more energetic."
"Hey! That's true. Compared to before, I'm obviously as light as a swallow! Not only is my spirits improved, but my physical strength has also improved a lot. Thanks to you for helping me develop that exercise plan. If it were before, I would have to stay in bed for three days after going to Guangzhou."
After the two chatted for a few minutes, Su Miao went straight into the formal topic.
"Brother Xiaopang, your uncle's company is in the department store business. Now that the business has grown so big, do you have any thoughts on expanding into other industries?"
The fat guy asked in confusion, "Another industry? What industry is it? What new ideas do you have?"
Su Miao said slowly, "Have you ever paid attention to the real estate industry?"
The fat guy scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Real estate? I've heard of that. A few years ago, residents were allowed to own private properties. Not only can they buy and sell, but they can also build their own houses. I heard that real estate companies specialize in building houses for others."
Su Miao nodded slightly and continued to explain: "The business scope of a real estate company is not just building houses. They can also build projects on behalf of others, develop and operate houses, and undertake the development of urban infrastructure and public supporting facilities."
She paused again and whispered, "And I heard from the teacher that there will be a new policy this year. Then the land can be auctioned to private individuals. Real estate companies can also develop and manage land, and build shopping malls and cinemas."
As if she had opened the door to a new world for the little fat man, he asked in surprise, "Land can be auctioned? We can still buy state-owned land?"
Su Miao further explained: "Look, what does a country need to develop and build? It needs money! Why did units force people to buy government bonds and absorb private funds for construction in the past few years?
Since the opening up, there have been more and more private business owners, and more money in private hands. So why not allow those with the ability and financial resources to directly participate in construction? Of course, land ownership will always belong to the state and the people, but the right to operate the land can be auctioned off.
The fat guy was sweating profusely after hearing this, his brain racing to the point of sparks. He asked uncertainly, "Is it like Shenzhen, where they've allocated areas for private companies to bid on?"
Seeing that he was so smart, Su Miao could make him understand without much effort. He nodded with satisfaction: "Right, right, right! Brother Xiaopang, now there are opportunities and policies. If you join, you will be among the leaders. The first melon is always the sweetest."
