Chapter 34 Inquiring about the Deserted Island Sale
"One, two, three, four, five. One hundred and thirty-five! Here are one thousand three hundred and fifty yuan." Lin Qin excitedly bundled the money separately.
Pick up the five bucks instead.
Five yuan is obviously twice as much as the Great Unity, but the total may not be thirteen thousand.
Lin Qin lowered his head and counted carefully.
Chen Wenjun had just sorted out the ten-cent notes and placed them in several rows on the ground. Before he had finished arranging them, he looked up and saw Lin Qin had bundled the five-dollar notes. He hurriedly asked, "How much?"
Lin Qin showed his eight teeth and said happily: "Two hundred fourteen or fifteen, there are one thousand two hundred and twenty-five yuan, plus one thousand three hundred and fifty, there are already two thousand five hundred and seventy-five yuan here."
After she finished speaking, she noticed the one-cent coins lined up on the floor, "What are you doing?"
Chen Wenjun wanted to cry but had no tears. "One cent is too much. I can't count it all!"
Lin Qin hurried over to lend a hand, and the two of them cleaned out the dimes first. The dimes alone could fill up a large bag. Although the number was large, it actually only totaled 378 yuan.
There are 461 one-dollar notes, 122 two-dollar notes, 135 fifty-cent notes, and the total amount of coins is 439.76 yuan.
The total amount of money they had was $4,165.26.
Even Chen Wenjun was shocked when he saw the calculation. "So much?"
Lin Qin also found it incredible, "How much do we earn from selling fish in a day?"
Chen Wenjun shook his head, "I haven't calculated this in detail. Yaya and you are so lucky. The fish you catch every day can be sold for 60 or 70 yuan, and the things caught by the traps can also make about 40 yuan a day.
Occasionally I could earn a little by catching turtles and river eels, but I thought it wouldn’t be that much, but I actually saved over 4,000 yuan.”
Before Lin Qin and Lin Yi got on board, he had already saved several hundred yuan. He originally thought that he saved money very quickly, but compared with this mother and daughter, it was simply disgusting.
Lin Qin was delighted. "This is perfect. I can buy some land now!"
If it was only a few hundred dollars, she would feel uneasy, but four thousand dollars would be different. Even if she couldn't buy the entire deserted island, it should be no problem to buy a dozen acres of wasteland!
Chen Wenjun thought so too.
The two walked out of the cabin with enthusiasm and told Lin Yi that they would go to the Land and Resources Bureau after selling fish tomorrow.
Lin Yi was particularly cautious and said seriously, "You can go out without worry, and leave the housework to me. My leg is almost healed, and I can try to move it. I have no problem taking care of the two children."
The next morning, Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin went to Xiatian Caishi Road to set up their stall as usual.
After a month of setting up the stall, they already have a stall that belongs to them. Some people saw that their fish were selling well, so recently two more fish stalls appeared on the street.
However, their goods are not as much as Chen Wenjun's, and the fish are not as big as Chen Wenjun's. Most regular customers still like to buy fish from Chen Wenjun, including Zhang Youren who likes to get a bargain.
There were many people coming to support the event, so the fish were sold out quickly. Just after eight o'clock, Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin closed their stall and went to Guoxing Hotel, where they sold the remaining goods to Zheng Guoxing. After getting the money, they also asked Zheng Guoxing for the direction of the Land and Resources Bureau.
Zheng Guoxing and Chen Wenjun are old acquaintances, so it was a bit surprising to know that they were going to the Land and Resources Bureau.
"What are you doing there? Looking for someone?"
Chen Wenjun shook his head. "Boss Zheng knows that we are Tanka people. We have saved some money and want to buy a piece of land to build a house and move our family to the mainland. We have set our eyes on a piece of land on a deserted island and want to inquire about the situation."
"Oh, so that's it! That's easy. My brother-in-law works at the Land and Resources Bureau. He will come to my place for lunch and tea after get off work at noon. If you are not busy, wait for him to come over and ask him. If you just run over there aimlessly, I guess no one will want to pay attention to you." Zheng Guoxing kindly reminded.
Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin hurriedly thanked him and followed Zheng Guoxing's instructions to stay in the hotel and wait.
At ten o'clock, people started coming in to eat.
Those who can eat in such a big restaurant are either rich or powerful.
Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin's dress style doesn't fit in with everyone else.
The two of them also felt uncomfortable and hurried to the kitchen to help Zheng Guoxing.
Zheng Guoxing initially advised them to go out, but seeing that they insisted, he let them go.
It was almost twelve o'clock when Han Dong, Zheng Guoxing's brother-in-law that Chen Wenjun had been talking about, finally arrived.
Zheng Guoxing saw people coming in through the food serving port, and immediately turned off the fire, put down the big spoon, and urged Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin to go out.
He followed her out happily, "Dongcai, you're finally here! My friend wants to ask you something!"
As Zheng Guoxing spoke, he pulled Han Dongcai to sit at the table in the corner, and pushed Chen Wenjun onto the chair as well, saying, "This is Chen Wenjun. I ask him to buy a lot of fish for my restaurant. Didn't you praise the shrimp cakes for being fresh before? He sent all those shrimps!"
Chen Wenjun smiled awkwardly, and his toes were almost digging out an acre of land.
Lin Qin didn't even know what to say.
Han Dongcai just kept nodding with a smile, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Zheng Guoxing was not embarrassed at all. He followed Han Dongcai's words and told him about Chen Wenjun's situation. "My friend is a boatman. His family lives on a fishing boat. He has saved some money and wants to buy land and build a house. The couple has set their eyes on a deserted island in Nanxi, but they don't know who to buy it from. Aren't you responsible for the land matters? Can you help ask them?"
Han Dong suddenly laughed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and rolled his eyes at Zheng Guoxing, "I thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be buying land! This is a good thing! This year, the city issued a document saying that it would vigorously develop the economy, which mentioned land development. The city just approved a piece of land to build commercial housing last month. Do you know what commercial housing is?"
Zheng Guoxing shook his head, and Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin also shook their heads like him.
Han Dongcai took a sip of water and said carefully: "Commodity housing refers to housing that is developed by real estate development and management companies with the approval of relevant government departments and leased from government agencies for a period of 40, 50 or 70 years. After completion, it can be sold or rented in the market. To put it bluntly, houses can be bought and sold like commodities.
Of course, this is the first project in the city, and I don’t know what the developer can build, but this is a signal that the government encourages companies or individuals to develop land, and it is much easier for you to buy a deserted island at this time.”
Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin looked at each other and smiled. This was good news!
After listening to this, Zheng Guoxing asked eagerly, "Is commercial housing expensive?"
Han Dong nodded, "At least eight or nine hundred per square meter."
Zheng Guoxing was frightened. "That 40 square meters costs more than 30,000 yuan! Who can I sell it to?"
"I'm not selling it to you!" Han Dong was speechless. "Besides, don't you make money running this restaurant? Stop crying poor to me!"
Zheng Guoxing smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "What about the wasteland? It won't be eight or nine hundred per square meter!"
