Ling Ran and the grain station director left, and Zhou's parents finally came to their senses. They exchanged a glance. They used to feel heartbroken when they saw their little girl buying clothes worth a few hundred yuan at a time, but now, buying houses and land worth millions seemed normal to them. Hadn't the land in Guanjia Village cost tens of millions? It's okay, it's okay. It's okay. Her little girl can spend and earn, which is good.
Chen Wenlian hesitated. The plan she had just made was ruined by Zhou Xiang.
Tian Li did not hesitate. She directly told her the plan she had discussed with Aunt Chen.
Zhou Xiang nodded. No wonder Aunt Chen pulled Sister Tian aside to grumble. "Okay, but I won't sell it to you. You need the whole piece of land to use it. Besides, the price just mentioned is 150 per square meter. Can you two come up with the money? Renovation will cost money. Do you still have to rely on borrowing money to survive in this town?"
I will convert one warehouse into two separate houses and give them to you to live in. When the school dormitory building is ready for living, you can return the warehouse to me."
Tian Li looked at Chen Wenlian, who nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! That's fine! But, shall we pay for the renovation?"
"No need," Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "It will still be mine in the future. Of course, I'll pay for it. Just treat it as a staff dormitory, a dormitory for senior management staff."
Chen Wenlian agreed with a smile, "Okay! Thank you, Boss Zhou."
The accommodation problem was solved, and Chen Wenlian and Tian Li both breathed a sigh of relief. It was really inappropriate to always stay in other people's homes.
When Ling Ran came back, it was already lunchtime. "At two o'clock in the afternoon, bring me the money. The stationmaster and I will go to notarize the transaction."
"good!"
After lunch, Zhou Xiang stopped dozing off and started drawing with a piece of paper. Ling Ran watched from the side. "Wife, you're only converting a thousand square meters into two sets?"
"This is for Zhou Yizhou and Liu Xuewen to live in. Aunt Chen and Sister Tian were originally planning to buy a warehouse together and renovate it, but before they could do so, I snatched it away, didn't I?
I agreed to convert a separate warehouse into two sets for them to use as dormitories and not resell it. After the large warehouse of the grain station was taken over, there was no large land available for sale on the streets of the town, so I would not transfer it.
The other five warehouses were converted into six apartments. The first floor has two living rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a cloakroom. The stairs are located at the bathroom entrance to block the view. A window is built next to the door on the first floor, and skylights are built above the rooms and stairs on the second floor.
As Zhou Xiang was talking, he drew a rough blueprint. "Sister Tian and Aunt Chen's two sets are similar to ours, except that the bathroom is placed in the gap between the two rooms.
As for water, I think it’s better to use tap water!”
"The cost of the public pipe network for the 20-mile journey from the county seat to the market town is a huge expense!"
"We have to connect it! The eight floors of the mall use a lot of water, and the school will use even more in the future. We'll have to pay for the public pipe network."
"Okay! But the mall still needs to install water pumps and water tanks."
"Um!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Ran went to trade with the money. Zhou Xiang gave the drawings to Chen Wenlian and Tian Li and asked them if they had any requirements.
Based on Zhou Xiang's explanation and looking at the drawings, they found that everything was arranged properly and said they had no objection, so they let her arrange it.
Ling Ran called Ma Gua back by the way. When he saw Zhou Xiang, he smiled and said, "You've already bought half of the shops in the market town."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "It's not that exaggerated, not even one-third."
"Of course I hope you buy as much as possible. It would be best if I could keep the work going."
Zhou Xiang handed him the blueprints and said, "The total height of the warehouse is 5.5 meters, and the height of the first floor is only 2.6 meters. The roof of the second floor will be re-paved, and the reed bundles will be thrown away and replaced with wooden purlins and rafters. It will be very convenient to leave a skylight.
"As for tiling the floor, there's a tile and sanitary ware specialty store in the county town. They'll do it all for you, including the materials and labor! They'll even decorate the kitchen."
Ma Gua took the blueprint and left. Even if he didn't make a profit from the difference in the price of the tiles and sanitary ware, the tile boss would still give him a kickback. "Okay! I'll go back and recruit some more people to finish the warehouse renovation as soon as possible."
Ling Ran handed the purchase contract to his wife. "That old fox of a stationmaster is planning to buy out all the grain station employees. He won't have to worry about their basic living expenses anymore."
Zhou thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think it's good. It will help those who still don't believe that their time has passed to face reality sooner. Only my cousin is still foolishly carrying on."
The next day, Xie Ling learned that Zhou Xiang had spent two million to buy six warehouses at the grain station, as well as the stationmaster's actions. He was stunned for a long time before he sighed softly. He was not as good as the stationmaster!
After the employees of the food station and the supply and marketing cooperative learned about the prices in the grain station warehouse, they all started to make a fuss, causing headaches for Xie Ling and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Both of them were bachelors, so they went to the county to resign together. They couldn't serve these ancestors.
After hearing the story, the county food company and the county supply and marketing cooperative came to the town to find Zhou Xiang.
Seeing that it was still Manager Zhang Yingshan who came from the food company, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but shake his head. These state-owned enterprises were clearly at the end of their rope. How much of a slog was this people's desire for power? How appealing was it to have a title that came with a mountain of debt?
After leading the two into the living room and sitting them down, Ling Ran went to the South Tower to make tea.
How could Zhou Xiang not know what the two were up to? She remained silent, waiting to see if they would open their mouths.
Ling Ran brought tea to the two of them and sat down next to Zhou Xiang.
Hot tea in such a hot day? Did he mean to dislike them? They exchanged glances, each signaling the other to speak first.
The living room was silent for a long time before Zhang Yingshan finally spoke, "Zhou Xiang, they say that a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. I never thought you could reach such a high level. You have taken over two of the five units on the main street of the town.
You also know that these five units used to be the best. But now that society has developed and the iron rice bowl has been broken, these five units are comparing with each other, and what they are comparing is whether they can get living expenses on time.
I know you bought these plots of land at different times, but it's only been three years. How could the difference be so huge?"
Zhou Xiang smiled and nodded, then said calmly, "Yes! The difference is so huge. Let alone three years, sometimes even three days can make a world of difference. Weren't you very happy when we bought the river and land from your two units three years ago?
You see, the grain station is happy now, but if they can't wait three years, they will regret it. This is the pace of progress."
Zhang Yingshan stopped talking. The food station just sold the river.
The director of the county supply and marketing cooperative really regretted it. When he heard that the warehouse behind the store could be sold for more than 200,000 yuan, he agreed immediately. Now, only three years have passed, and the price difference is more than one million yuan.
No, according to Zhou Xiang, the price difference will be even bigger in a few years.
If you say that, "Zhou Xiang, we understand the Contract Law, but we're unwilling to give up and want to come here. I think this trip might not be a loss. Do you mean that assets like houses and land will become more and more valuable?"
