Chapter 158: Journey to Nanguang (Part 2)
This is the "only" national-level fishing port in Guangzhou, and the fishermen there were also relocated from other places, so it might be easier to get along with them.
There are many reasons why Zhang Ze chose this place. First, the Nansha District, which is closer to the sea, has not been developed.
The land reclamation over there is going on in a big way. In the past, all you would have seen were probably vast stretches of fields.
In addition, the inconvenient transportation and long distance make it really not suitable for him to go fishing at sea at the moment.
Secondly, Lianhuashan Fishing Port has an advantageous location, with Lianhuashan to the west and Seagull Island to the east, and is located in the Shiziyang waterway.
The surrounding Pearl River network crisscrosses and any port in the Pearl River Delta river network can be reached by land and water, and through Humen you can directly reach the Lingdingyang and the open sea, making it very convenient for Zhang Ze to sail out to sea.
Similarly, it is convenient to sell fish here as there is a special aquatic station.
So after strolling around with Tong Yuanhang, he took the bus to Lianhua Mountain.
As soon as they arrived here, they immediately felt the atmosphere of the fishing village.
There were many small wooden boats parked at the dock, but they had not seen any large iron ships.
This is probably not the time to go out to sea, as there are not many fishermen at the dock.
However, with their arrival, the villagers looked at the two strangers curiously.
Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang didn't care about these looks. They took a rough look and found that the environment here was quite good and it was indeed convenient for them to go fishing.
The key point is that it is not far from the city. When the time comes, they can arrange for their elders in the city and live here themselves and others.
After completing the observation, Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang went back and told Lu Wenbin their ideas.
When he learned that the two men made their money by fishing at sea, and that they were still planning to do their old business this time, his expression suddenly became very strange.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Wenbin finally said, "Ah Hang, A Ze, I have decided to open a clothing factory here. If you don't mind, how about coming to help me?"
"Going out to sea to fish is exposed to the wind and sun, and it's dangerous if the weather is bad. You don't need to continue doing this."
Tong Yuanhang hesitated a little and asked, "Brother Bin, how much salary can you give me if I go to your garment factory?"
Lu Wenbin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Now that you don't know anything, you can learn management in the factory first. The salary is 100 yuan a month."
"When you join the management team, I will give you some shares."
To be honest, the salary he offered is definitely not low considering the current domestic situation.
But let alone Zhang Ze, even Tong Yuanhang looked down on him.
The idea of giving shares in the future is quite tempting. Zhang Ze also knows that if the garment factory is run well, the shares will be very valuable and the annual dividends will not be small.
But he has space for fishing. Apart from fishing, everything else he does is a side job and he doesn't spend much energy on it.
Moreover, buying a house is the most reliable way to make money. He can just wait for it to appreciate in value. Whether he gets the demolition compensation or becomes a landlord, he can live a simple life.
Fishing is his favorite profession and he would not change his career even if he was paid more.
Tong Yuanhang looked down on the salary because he simply didn't understand what shares were.
"Brother Bin, forget it! I have been going to sea with my father since I was a child. There is nothing else you can ask me to do!"
Zhang Ze echoed, "Brother Bin, if we want to run the factory well, we need capable people to manage it. Ah Hang and I are really not suitable. If we join the factory, we might just be parasites or even hold back."
Lu Wenbin sighed slightly, and seeing that they all refused, he stopped trying to persuade them.
Everyone has their own life and he cannot interfere.
However, he did not look down on the two of them because of this. He was always very friendly towards his relatives.
In the next few days, with the help of Lu Wenbin, Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang successfully bought two adjacent houses in Yuexiu District. Coincidentally, the two houses were taken to them by government officials because they had the deeds.
Both buildings are three-story buildings with front and back yards. The two houses have almost the same floor area, totaling 220 square meters including the yard.
The house is very cheap, only two thousand yuan per unit.
The main reason was that the house had not been lived in for a long time and needed to be renovated. In addition, because of Lu Wenbin's reputation, the local government gave a preferential price.
Zhang Ze bought two two-story red brick houses on Lianhua Mountain. Both houses were new, newly built by fishermen in the village who had not yet moved in.
The reason they were able to buy the house was that Lu Wenbin offered to give their family two employees quotas. With a government official as witness, the contract was signed, and the two families happily sold their house and prepared to move to the city center.
Tong Yuanhang bought three sets of houses in the same way. He didn't have enough money, so he borrowed from Lu Wenbin temporarily.
Zhang Ze bought two sets, one of which he plans to keep for the time being.
He planned to let Zhang's mother, sister and brother live in the house in Yuexiu District.
Zhang Qian and her sister will go to Lu Wenbin’s garment factory in the future. It is closer and more convenient to live there.
The empty house provides them with a place to live when they come to Lianhua Mountain.
When Zhang Ze bought the house, he also called home to contact Zhang Qinghe and others, asking them if they had any intention of developing here.
However, Zhang Zhenghong and others, including Zhang Qinghu, all have families and roots in Wenshui City, so they have no intention of coming to Nanfang.
Although Zhang Qinghe is not married, the woman he likes works in Wuweihe. In addition, his family does not agree, so he can only stay in Wenshui City.
The houses in the fishing village are cheap, two sets together only cost 2,200 yuan, while one set costs 1,100 yuan.
But it was empty inside, and I had to find a carpenter to make the furniture myself.
Zhang Ze was too lazy to go to the trust store, so he directly asked all the carpenters in the village to make furniture for these houses.
Money makes the devil work, let alone a small carpenter.
With the intervention of government officials and the intimidation of the village chief, they were not afraid of the carpenter and some of the scoundrels in the village having any ulterior motives even if they went back.
The issue of house renovation in Yuexiu District was handed over to Lu Wenbin. He would arrange for someone to redecorate the house and pay the renovation fee after Zhang Ze returned.
After everything was arranged, he and Tong Yuanhang bought train tickets back.
This time he goes back, he will come back with his family in about two months.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
By that time, Zhang Wu was on summer vacation, and Tong Shuyao's pregnancy had entered a stable period, so she could take the train.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on May 16, Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang returned to Wenshui City.
They didn't encounter any trouble on this train ride, but they heard that there were robberies in other carriages. One can only say that this era was indeed chaotic.
Fortunately, next time I take my family to Nanfang, they will find a way to buy sleeper berths. Sleeper berths are not so crowded and are less likely to cause chaos.
Zhang Ze and Tong Yuanhang separated and went back to their respective homes.
"Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw Zhang's mother killing fish and making fish balls.
Since he was not here, these mackerels must have been purchased.
"Aze!" Zhang's mother was stunned, then she immediately reacted, hurried forward to look him up and down, and found that he was just a little tired, but everything else was fine. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Even though they often call each other, Zhang's mother is still worried.
As if they heard his name, after a while, Tong Shuyao, Zhang Qian and the others all hurried downstairs.
Seeing that his wife was walking in a hurry, Zhang Ze hurried forward: "Slow down, slow down, don't walk so fast!"
Tong Shuyao's face was full of joy. She had stayed in Nanguan for so long this time that she didn't know how much she missed him.
"Brother, did you bring me a gift?"
"Also, what is Nanguang like?"
Zhang Qing's voice immediately broke the sweet atmosphere between them.
"Of course there are gifts."
Zhang Ze opened his luggage bag with a smile and took out pieces of women's clothing that were very fashionable in that era.
I brought bell-bottom pants, skirts and other clothes that were becoming popular in Central, South and Guangdong.
The three women gathered together in surprise and chose their clothes. No woman could refuse to become more beautiful.
Zhang Ze also brought clothes for Zhang's mother and Zhang Wu and took them out.
After Zhang Qing got the beautiful clothes, she immediately took her sister and sister-in-law upstairs to try on new clothes.
Zhang Ze told his mother about some things in Nanguan, including the house and the job arrangements for his two younger sisters.
But after a while, he was sent back to sleep by Zhang's mother.
This trip to Nanfang was very smooth. The only regret was that I didn’t buy a few more houses.
Giving Lu Wenbin two houses is already a favor given by the Yuexiu District government. It is impossible for him to get a few more.
It's the same in the fishing village. People only agreed to sell their houses because they were interested in working in the garment factory.
People in the fishing village are definitely willing to transform from fishermen to workers in the city, but it is more difficult to raise money to buy a new house, but there is no problem with old houses.
However, Zhang Ze was not interested in the houses in the fishing village, so he was not willing to buy more.
I still have more than 8,000 yuan on me now, plus the 5,700 yuan owed by Zhang Qinghe and Zhang Zhenghong, so I have enough funds for the time being.
Moreover, he will continue to go fishing in the next two months, and he can also sell the boat when he goes to Nanfang, and he will probably be able to buy a lot of houses by then.
