During lunch, everyone felt relaxed, including Zhong Xiong and the others. They were also tired from listening to the crying.
Hearing that the two children especially listened to Zhou Xiang, Zhong Xiong laughed at Zhu Hang, "Big Boss, you're not a good father! You have no authority."
Zhu Hang glanced at him and said, "When you become a father, you will understand. He is so young, you can't beat him or scold him. What will you do if he cries and you don't comfort him?"
Zhong Xiong said with a sad face, "When I have a child, your two children should be able to go to school."
“Serves you right!”
Aunt Wang brought the food to Zhou Xiang directly and said, "Xiang Xiang, you can sit outside in the living room and eat. Come in quickly after you finish."
Zhou Xiang nodded. It seemed that not only Zhu Hang at night, but also Aunt Wang during the day couldn't stand it.
When Zhou's mother came back, the two children were still asleep. She ate her meal leisurely before going upstairs.
I handed the passbook to my daughter and said, "I've spent half of it."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "Take it! Why is it so expensive?"
"It's said to be on the street, and all the way to the edge of East and West Streets, it's a piece of land."
"Let me see the proof."
Zhou's mother put the passbook back and handed her a piece of paper. Zhou wanted to open it and found that according to the description on the certificate, the place was indeed quite large.
"Mom, you go find the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I'll go find the master craftsman. After we determine the location, we'll immediately build the openwork flower wall."
"That's great! The space is twice as big, and Guan Bo and his team can add more tables."
Although Aunt Wang didn't understand much, she knew one thing: Zhou wanted to buy land again.
I used to think that a hundred of my own daughters couldn’t compare to Zhou Xiang. Now, looking at the three-story building in the staff housing complex, I feel that even ten thousand of my own daughters couldn’t compare to her. There’s no comparison.
"You guys go ahead and do your work! Just ask Lili to come up."
"Okay, my mom will be back as soon as she finishes her work. I have something to do this afternoon."
Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "Go ahead!"
The mother and daughter split up into two groups. When Zhou Xiang arrived with Master Ma Gua, Guan Tao was already waiting at the stall.
Seeing Zhou Xiang coming, he prepared to get up and leave.
"Go later, something's going on."
Guan Tao sat back on the swing chair.
When the director of the supply and marketing cooperative heard that the land had been bought by Jiang Weihui, he had no objection. The county supply and marketing cooperative was willing to sell it, and he, as the director of the town supply and marketing cooperative, had no say.
In the past, that place was mostly used for garbage storage. Now that Guan Bo’s family has cleaned it up and started doing business, a few employees have come to him to show off. Let’s see if you will still show off this time?
Why are you jealous of others making money? What have you been doing before?
When I accompanied Jiang Weihui to the Liangpi stall and saw Zhou Xiang, I understood.
This girl has a unique vision and does things unexpectedly.
It was definitely Jiang Weihui who ordered the purchase of this piece of land.
"Think about it."
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hey! Okay."
"We want you to confirm that the land's location and orientation on this certificate are correct. Once you're sure, we'll build a low wall to facilitate business and indicate that it's privately owned."
"Okay, you read it and I'll take a look."
Take the Ma Gua with you and determine the northeast corner and northwest corner.
Ma Gua knocked down a broken brick as a mark and went back to ask people to build a hollow flower wall.
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative called Zhou Xiang to the side and said, "Think about it. Uncle doesn't ask for anything else. I just want to ask you, is it a good deal to buy a piece of land like this?"
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Nowadays, more and more private businesses are being run. Your supply and marketing cooperative is gradually becoming obsolete. I'll buy this piece of land and start doing business this way. I can also build a house and do business there in the future."
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative left thoughtfully, muttering, "It will gradually become unbearable."
Guan Bo waited until the director of the supply and marketing cooperative had left before asking Zhou Xiang why he bought the land.
“Your business is so good, if someone gets jealous, you’ll have to move to another location, but you’ve already built up the business in this location.
If someone else uses this land to do business, they'll get twice the result with half the effort. But if the food they make isn't tasty, it will affect your reputation. This is the most important thing to be careful about when doing business."
"Then, the rent will be paid to you from now on?"
"Whatever. Should I ask the supply and marketing cooperative to return the rent?"
Zhou's mother scoffed at her, "If you had the time to chase that money, who knows how much you could earn back? Hurry up and get back to work. Why do you care how long Uncle Tao has been waiting for you?"
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Uncle Guan Tao, have you brought someone to measure the dimensions?"
Guan Tao pointed at the two people who were concentrating on eating cold noodles and said, "Look! Those are the two people."
"Pay the bill and leave." Zhou Xiang waved his hand.
Aunt Guan quickly waved her hands and said, "We are relatives, we don't need money."
"Aunt Guan, you're not right. Business is business, and favors are favors. There are so many people in this town who know Fatty Uncle. If you don't accept this one and that one, wouldn't it be a waste of your trouble?
It only looks like two cents, but everyone must collect the money. Otherwise, if some people collect and some don’t, you will offend people and end up in a bad situation!
Even if these two people come to your house for a drink next time and you spend a few dollars, that's normal social interaction and can't be confused with business. You must listen to me on this matter."
Guan Tao immediately paid the bill. "My niece is right. How can we do business without charging money?"
Zhou Xiang praised him and said, "This time, I will pay you wages. Last time, you learned some skills. This time, I am just doing the work. There are no skills to learn."
"Of course, business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships."
"Good, learn and apply now."
Zhou Xiang wanted to take the three of them away, but Guan Bo said to his wife, "Xiang Xiang is right. Favors are visible. If you don't accept the two cents, not only will they not be grateful, they might even gossip about you behind your back. If you accept it, no matter what they say, no one will pay attention to them, because we're doing business."
Aunt Guan nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Zhou Xiang took three people and walked through all the rooms on the first floor.
"Didn't you say you don't have the skills?"
"Oh! What kind of craftsmanship is that for a dining table? We're using the best wood this time, so the labor must be included in the price."
"Not only the dining table, but also the children's toys?"
"No big deal. You guys specialize in making these big things, and the small stuff is just incidental. Since you're not in this business, your skills don't matter. If you have an idea, take the blueprints with you after you're done. You can make and sell wooden horses that you can ride on and swing around on at temple fairs, but these are just small fry and not suitable for you."
“There are still blueprints!”
"Oh! Don't be so stubborn. How about this? When the time comes, just cancel the small change in your wages. Okay?"
"OK!"
After saying that, he took his two apprentices to measure the size. Zhou wanted to wipe away the unnecessary sweat. He had never seen anyone who insisted on giving away money.
After waiting for a long time, the three people arrived in the yard, and Zhou Xiang took them upstairs.
The three of them felt that following Zhou Xiang, all kinds of strange things would happen, including this building within a building, also called a duplex.
Zhou Xiang stated all his requirements, which were basically the same as his second sister's requirements for the third floor.
The second floor has a living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen.
On the third floor, there is a master bedroom, second bedroom and study with a dressing room. This time, the dressing room requires a sliding door.
