Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Relocation
The land was a large, square piece, and looked very neat and tidy, without any odd-shaped edges or corners.
After seeing it with her own eyes, Zhao Ruyue understood why her sister and brother-in-law believed the rumors and why they chose to buy this piece of land in such a hurry.
Putting aside the fact that it would take many years to demolish the site, this was indeed a very good piece of land in the vicinity. When she was in the car, she looked around and found that many plots of land divided by white lines on the ground were not as square as this one.
This made Zhao Ruyue feel that even if the development of the provincial capital in the future deviated from her memory like the county town, it would still be worth spending 200,000 to buy this piece of land.
This area is now a suburb. As the urban area gradually expands outward, even if it cannot be as prosperous as the urban area, the suburbs will become suburbs, and the land price will naturally increase. This alone will not result in a loss, it just requires time and patience.
Ning Shaoming was also very satisfied after seeing it.
He said to Zhao Ruyue, "This place seems to be away from the direction of the city's expansion, but I've seen the map and just walked around the area. The roads around here are well connected and it's close to the highway entrance and exit. If you live near here, you might be disturbed by the noise of passing trucks, so there are few people who own houses nearby. If you open a store to sell things, the customer base is relatively single, probably mostly passing drivers. It would be very suitable to run a small factory or a warehouse."
After hearing what he said, Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao also looked around. When they bought this land, they also considered the store in the town owned by their second sister and brother-in-law.
Zhao Ruyuan heard from her sister that when they first opened the store, they specially asked the driver who helped her family transport goods for help, and gave business cards to the drivers he was familiar with, so that they would trust her store and attract customers to the store.
As soon as she saw the land, she felt that the location was very similar to her second sister's home.
But at that time she and her husband were in a hurry to buy, and they only noticed the drivers and cars coming and going nearby. They thought that so many passing cars were their potential customer base, and ignored the fact that the two companies sold different things.
The driver had just pulled out goods from a nearby factory and was in a hurry to deliver the goods on the highway. How could he stop to eat some crayfish and drink a few drinks before continuing on his way not long after he got out?
She also overlooked the fact that her second sister's store had another stable source of customers, which was the neighbors in the town.
In fact, passing drivers are just icing on the cake and a relatively unstable source of customers. The residents of the town are the real decisive factor in allowing a store to gain a foothold.
Her sister's shop is said to be not very close to the market and there are few people living nearby. In fact, it is only not close compared to the shops that are located in the market. It only takes a few minutes to walk there.
In the city, if the market place is a residential area, her second sister's store can even be included in the scope of "the store near the residential area and very close to my home".
Looking at the land they bought, few were purchased in the name of individuals. Most were purchased in the name of companies. Many companies, as her second brother-in-law said, bought the land to build warehouses.
If a factory is built, this place can still be saved. After all, the factory workers will not always eat in the factory. There will definitely be times when they want to come out to satisfy their cravings.
There are warehouses all around, how can we have fun?
With just a few staff members in charge of the warehouse and that amount of customer traffic, they can't support a store, not to mention that crayfish is not something that you have to consume on a daily basis.
Instead of opening a crayfish shop here, it would be better to open a small store selling drinks, instant noodles, cigarettes, alcohol, and betel nuts!
Zhao Ruyuan was just thinking about it in her mind, but Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue really planned to open a small shop here after buying this land.
They have looked at the land and confirmed that it is available so that they don't have to leave it alone once they get it, waiting for demolition which may or may not come.
Before the formal transaction, they told Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao all the business they thought could be done here.
But Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao were eager to buy shops in the more prosperous areas of the provincial capital, and the businesses they were talking about almost all required slow development and were long-term, which did not quite meet their expectations.
The two parties signed the contract, paid the money and transferred the property.
Zhao Ruyuan then privately told Zhao Ruyue: "In fact, we have to buy a house in the city because we don't want our children to be looked down upon at school."
Zhao Ruyue's first reaction was: "Cai Rou was bullied by her classmates at school?"
"No, that child has good grades. We didn't give any gifts to the teacher, and the teacher also took good care of her.
It's just that she goes to school in the provincial capital. When she was admitted, we simply thought that she was able to get into such a good school, and after admission, she could compete with so many children who were top students in their classes in elementary school and still rank among the best. We were very happy for her.
But later, when I went to a parents' meeting for her, the parents all looked very respectable. Some of them owned shops and houses in the provincial capital, while others worked in public institutions and some held high positions. ”
Zhao Ruyuan said with a wry smile, "We are the only family. Her father and I are farmers. I don't want to embarrass the child, so I have tried my best to dress up, but she still looks worse than others. It's impossible to pretend to have the temperament you don't have, just like a beggar wearing the emperor's clothes. The child doesn't despise me for not bringing honor to her, but I feel very embarrassed."
After hearing this, Zhao Ruyue finally understood why they were so obsessed with buying a shop in the city.
In fact, it is not just to prove myself for the children.
"You are thinking, since you can't pretend to have something you don't have, then find a way to have it. Then your temperament will change naturally and you won't need to pretend anymore."
Zhao Ruyuan excitedly grabbed her second sister's hand and said, "Sister, I knew you would understand me!"
Zhao Ruyuan also got this inspiration from her sister. Perhaps her sister was unaware of it, and her attitude towards her brothers and sisters was no different from before.
Maybe I just feel that I have more money than before, which means that the things I buy now are a little more expensive and better than before.
But if you put the second sister of the past and the second sister of the present together, if they didn’t look and have the same figure, people would believe you said they were two different people!
In the past, because she was poor, she would worry whenever she needed money, from small things like buying meat for the children and daily necessities for the family every now and then to big things like the children's schooling and the future division of the family property. There were many things that made her worry.
Now her career and family are going well. Her sister no longer has the sad look that she used to try to hide so as not to worry her family, but always revealed involuntarily. She has become much more open-minded and in better shape than before. She seems confident that she can handle anything with ease, and she looks better than before.
Zhao Ruyuan continued, "My husband's relatives saw that we bought a piece of land, but didn't want it anymore, so we went to the trouble of selling it to buy a shop in the city. They thought we were fooling around, so one tried to persuade us, and another tried to persuade us. If you didn't know them, you would think they really cared about us!
When we first started raising crayfish, these people were the ones who secretly wanted to make fun of us. What was the result? Now you are slapping yourself in the face and starting to develop it!
They also wanted my son Guohao to teach them, but I made an excuse and didn't let Guohao go! They raise crayfish just by watching how others do it and then copying their method.
But we went for special training before raising the pet. It's hard for us not to lose money if they do such a reckless thing. Now I'm thinking about going to the city and staying away from those people. Otherwise, if they really lose money, they will turn the tables and blame us for not helping them! ”
Zhao Ruyue asked again: "Didn't you say that you would continue to raise crayfish and supply yourself? If you all go to the city, who will take care of the shrimp ponds in your hometown?"
"My parents-in-law are helping me. I'll go back and visit from time to time in the future."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Guohao and made sure that he was talking seriously to his second brother-in-law and didn't notice her. Then she whispered, "I asked Guohao to learn more skills and experience from my brother-in-law. He will also make crayfish in the future. This way, the store cannot do without the chef, and he will have fewer opportunities to go back.
My parents-in-law want to see him and the child, but I would rather bring them to the city to stay for a few days. My sister-in-law is married not far away and has a good relationship with our family.
If my parents-in-law come to live in the city, I can ask her to help look after the house for a few days. Her family also raises crayfish now, but we are willing to teach them ourselves, so there will be no problem if she helps look after the house for a few days. ”
Zhao Ruyuan knew what was going on, so Zhao Ruyue felt relieved.
After completing the formalities, he and Zhao Ruyuan went to see the shop they planned to buy.
They were worried that buying a shop this time would be the same as buying land in the past. They were so eager to own it that they ignored some issues that should not be ignored and did not consider things comprehensively. So they asked Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming to help them take a look.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming also have to go to the provincial capital to find someone to help design how to build that piece of land.
I followed them to the store they wanted to buy and took a look around. Unexpectedly, I actually found a problem.
"Are you thinking that since this shop is close to the school and the students are financially relaxed, you won't have to worry about customers in the future?"
Zhao Ruyuan and his wife nodded in unison: "That's right, we have also considered the issue of students' winter and summer vacations, but we don't think it's a big problem. If business is good, we can be less busy during the students' vacations and take some time to go back to visit the elderly and spend time with the children.
Moreover, there is a residential complex that is about to be built here. When the owners move in, they can also become guests. ”
But they looked at Zhao Ruyue's expression and felt a little uneasy: "Sister, do you have any other questions?"
"It's nothing else, just the two about the school and the community."
The two of them scratched their heads and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what other problems there were besides the ones they had considered.
Zhao Ruyue said helplessly, "Don't you watch the news? That school is moving to the suburbs. The place is bigger, the teaching venues and facilities, and the student dormitories are better built. They plan to slowly move some majors there first, and it will take a few years to move all of them."
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, making Zhao Ruyuan and his wife pale in the face.
“You haven’t already made an agreement with someone else and signed a contract, have you?” Zhao Ruyue looked at their expressions and they looked like they were about to faint, so she didn’t dare to continue.
If they knew that the community was almost completed but still unfinished, they might really faint.
