Chapter 54
After Xiaoshi sat down, the atmosphere fell into a brief awkwardness.
In the end, it was Jian Feng who broke the deadlock.
"You came here to ask me what I think, right?"
Xiao Shi nodded vigorously.
The man sitting next to him couldn't help but say, "Brother Feng, I actually wanted to hear you say that just now, but..."
Auntie Ma and those people were just talking about what they wanted, without any basis at all. In the whole sentence, there was only one specious premise, that is, "3,000 yuan per square meter." But even this sentence is not realistic. Who knows whether it is true or not?
The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He had just not spoken up for Jian Feng, but now he came to ask for advice again. It seemed a bit irresponsible of him.
"Brother Feng, I just..."
Jian Feng waved his hands. He was not the kind of person who would fuss over details.
On the contrary, he was very happy that Xiaoshi and a few others came to see him. This proved that his visit was effective and these people listened to his words.
Jian Feng took out a magazine, opened the back cover, pointed at the advertisement and said, "I don't have any inside information. I only have a little judgment. You guys can take a look and make your own judgment."
This is a financial magazine. There are not many newsstands in Taocheng where you can buy it. Since Jian Feng saw an issue last year, he would go to buy the latest issue every month. Later, it became difficult to buy it at newsstands, so he simply went to the post office to order one.
Because the magazine's headquarters is in Shanghai, real estate advertisements have occupied the back cover since the first three months.
The big black and white lead print reads [No. 176, Tongfangli, Dingsheng Road, two bedrooms and one living room, 42 square meters, price 72,000 yuan.]
Following closely is a new property sales advertisement [Green water and green mountains, Suzhou River, enjoy the scenery, the starting price is only 2800 per square meter. ]
As soon as this magazine was taken out, Xiaoshi and the others fell silent.
After a while, Xiao Shi regained his voice: "Brother Feng, this is the house you live in, ours is the storefront."
The facade value is higher.
Jian Feng did not continue to persuade them. He just spread his hands and said, "So you guys have to make your own decisions."
He knew that Xiaoshi was just a little bit unwilling. After all, the future that Auntie described was too beautiful. If Jian Feng had not considered this issue in advance, he could not guarantee that he would not be struck by such beauty.
If his family had not had some savings, giving him the space to think carefully, would he have hoped to use fantasy to cover up the various difficulties in life like others?
Jian Feng sent Xiao Shi and others away and asked them to take away all the gifts they brought.
Xiao Shi pushed the things back and said, "Brother Feng, thank you no matter what."
The others also said they didn't want anything.
"Brother Feng, it's great that you can say a few words to us."
To be fair, if they had made up their minds, they would definitely not be able to do this.
Several people returned home with heavy hearts.
Jian Feng faced a table full of honey, lotus root starch, brown sugar, and a row of Wahaha...
Suddenly he laughed.
When Jian Li came back from her mother's small restaurant, she found that her father was in a good mood?
It's really strange. Jian Li was prepared for her father to be hit hard again and be depressed for many days.
"Xiao Li, come here, your uncle Xiao Meng brought you some Wahaha."
Jian Li broke out a bottle and drank it absentmindedly.
"Dad, shall we go sign the contract tomorrow morning?"
Jian Feng said, "Sign it. After signing, I'll discuss it with your mother. Let's go to Renjiazhuang to look at houses."
Since he has decided to move house, he doesn't plan to stay here any longer and might as well move out early.
The house in Renjiazhuang is actually not far from the cotton spinning factory. Originally, the cotton spinning factory was located next to Renjiazhuang. Now Renjiazhuang has been planned to this area. After listening to Jian Li's suggestion, Jian Feng prepared to go and see the house in Renjiazhuang.
Jian Li sipped her drink: "Okay, I'll go too!"
She wanted to see what Renjiazhuang, which later developed into the city center, looked like now.
*****
Jian Feng, who had decided to sell the house, went to the factory office early the next morning.
When I got there, there were already three or four people lined up in front of me. Upon closer inspection, I saw that they were all small leaders with names.
They were all acquaintances who met each other every day in the factory. They greeted each other and then tacitly did not ask why they came so early.
The process of handling the application was extremely smooth, even easier than Jian Feng had imagined.
The person in charge of the factory office gave him a contract, asked him to sign it and put his fingerprint on it, and then issued him a receipt.
"You can go to the finance office to get it today."
Jian Feng put away the receipt and put the contract in his bag.
When I was about to go out, I ran into Xiaoshi and a few others who came to handle some formalities.
Xiao Shi chuckled and said, "Brother Feng, you're here quite early."
Jian Feng pointed at the receipt in his hand and said, "You guys should hurry up and get it done. Once you're done, go find the finance department immediately to save them from being off work."
He would feel uneasy if the money didn't reach his hands.
Xiaoshi responded and ran in to sign the contract.
Seven or eight households came one after another in the morning, and Jian Feng queued up at the finance department before noon. The finance department was also simple and rough, with a sack of money placed next to it.
"If you want to transfer money, you have to wait until tomorrow. If you want cash, you can do it now."
Jian Feng wants cash.
The treasurer counted the money and pushed it to him.
Xiao Shi and the others were jealous when they saw Jian Feng choose cash.
"We all want cash."
Each person had a bag of cash. Although they were not afraid of being robbed in the factory, a few people still made an agreement and did not go far to deposit the cash directly in the bank in the factory.
Several grown men were a little trembling after taking the money.
Such a lot of money!
Xiao Shi's voice trembled: "How do we save it?"
Xiao Meng suggested: "How about we put the money on one person, and the others ride their cars to surround this person?"
"Why not just put it in the basket? Didn't they say that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"
Xiao Shi: "...I'd better hold it myself."
“It’s such a huge amount of money. I’m scared.”
"Then ride faster?"
"It's better to ride slowly and steadily."
…
If you have money in your pocket, everyone looks like a thief.
A few people didn't even dare to stop and rushed inside when they arrived at the bank door, which scared the doorman.
After entering, I rushed to the window.
"Save money!"
*****
After Jian Feng deposited the money into the bank, he returned home. He asked for leave from Kong Guorong and planned to settle the house issue in the next two days.
Although the factory said that they had a month to move slowly, Jian Feng still felt that it would be better to move out earlier.
Wang Mengmei had the same idea. After closing the shop in the afternoon, the two of them took Jian Li to look at houses.
The first place they looked at was the house in Renjiazhuang, but Wang Mengmei rejected it as soon as she saw it.
"These are all bungalows. Look at this room. It still needs to be cleaned up."
Besides, the surrounding area was really wasteland, so she felt uneasy living there. The public security these days was not very good, and Wang Mengmei always felt that it was safer to live in the family compound.
Jian Feng also felt that this was not okay. He had to deliver goods and sometimes he could not come back. Sometimes he went to the county and was away for two or three days. He felt uneasy leaving his wife and daughter alone in such a rural-urban area.
Although Jian Li was envious of the wealth she would gain from demolishing the houses here in the future, she also knew that the most important need for her family now was to buy a set of essential products.
Although the prospects here are good, the living experience is too poor.
The family of three left Renjiazhuang and went to see several houses inside the cotton spinning factories.
At this point, it was Jian Li's turn to object.
Even if it is an urgent need, you have to buy something valuable.
The cotton textile factory's compound will not be demolished in the next 20 years, so what are we going to do with it after we buy it back?
The family of three was noisy and looked at houses for three consecutive days.
During these three days, two or three companies went to sign the contract, but most people, led by Aunt Ma, chose not to sign.
Not only did she refuse to sign, Auntie Ma also teamed up with a few other families who were also living in a very tight situation to go to the factory to cause trouble.
She kept asking the factory to give her a four-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
The houses in the factory had already been divided up, so where would we get a four-bedroom, one-living room house to share now?
But Auntie was not discouraged. She made a clear request: either a four-bedroom and one-living room apartment, or the factory gave her the money for a four-bedroom and one-living room apartment.
The small leaders in charge were all pestered by her and lost their temper and refused to listen no matter what she said. Aunt Ma went to sit in his office from morning until he got off work.
“I really can’t!”
The young leader was also very annoyed. He originally took over the matter simply because he had an unused house and wanted to take this opportunity to sell it to the factory.
The price is high.
But he didn't expect that Auntie Ma was taller than he thought.
Thirty square meters in exchange for a four-bedroom apartment, is running a factory considered charity?
The original conditions had already made many people in the factory dissatisfied, and in the past few days many people had gone to the factory director to complain.
But Auntie Ma didn't notice the danger at all and still came to negotiate for conditions.
The young leader in charge immediately felt regretful. He thought he was getting a free ride, but it turned out to be a painful experience.
In the end, I simply didn't go to the office and let Auntie Ma do whatever she wanted.
Just when things were going wrong in the factory, Jian Feng and his family finally found a house that all three of them were quite satisfied with.
The family compound of the grinding wheel factory.
A three-bedroom, one-living room house on the second floor, 80 square meters, with a small warehouse of 3 or 4 square meters downstairs.
Wang Mengmei: "Not bad, not bad. This place is next to the cotton spinning factory, so it's convenient for me to go to the store."
No matter what, Wang Mengmei didn't want to be too far away from the cotton textile factory. She had lived in the cotton textile factory for many years and was both familiar with and nostalgic for this place.
Jian Li: “It’s really good.”
Although the grinding wheel factory was under the cotton textile factory, its development was better than that of the cotton textile factory. Later, the cotton textile factory went bankrupt, but the grinding wheel factory survived. Later, it was reorganized into a well-known local factory.
If the factory survives, the conditions in the family compound will not be too bad.
Moreover, the grinding wheel factory later chose the housing reform method, and all the houses in the family compound were included in the scope. The original five-story buildings were all demolished and rebuilt into elevator buildings.
Jian Feng was also very familiar with the grinding wheel factory, so he didn't think it was bad.
The original owner asked for $38,000.
Wang Mengmei bargained down to 34,000.
The homeowner shouted angrily, "It's too low."
Wang Mengmei used her eloquence and finally persuaded the homeowner.
"Thirty-five thousand! One price!"
Wang Mengmei and Jian Fengbi went out to discuss for a while, then came back and agreed.
"That's thirty-five thousand!"
After agreeing on a time for the property transfer, the family was finally able to put their minds at ease.
Wang Mengmei couldn't help humming a little tune, and the three of them even had a mutton hotpot on the way home.
Although eating mutton hotpot in the summer is not as enjoyable as in the winter, the hotpot here is very good. The mutton is fresh and the sesame sauce for dipping is also fragrant and smooth. Jian Li mixed a bowl of spicy oil and sesame sauce and finished a large plate of mutton by herself.
Wang Mengmei: "Eat less spicy food! You won't get angry even if you eat too much!"
Entering puberty, Jian Li became particularly prone to acne. If she ate something irritating, she would get acne that night.
Wang Mengmei was afraid that her daughter would have acne all over her face, so she bought her some pearl powder and asked her to take care of it.
Jian Li ordered a can of Jianlibao, ate the meat with big mouthfuls and drank the beverage at the same time, burped, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Cool!"
After eating the mutton, the three of them strolled home.
As soon as I walked to the bottom of the factory office building, I saw a group of people gathered.
Jian Li is the kind of person who loves to watch the fun, no matter how much trouble she takes. She would just watch the fun even if she almost couldn't walk.
Wang Mengmei couldn't do anything about her, so she had to join in.
In the center of the crowd were Aunt Ma and another middle-aged woman. On the periphery were Aunt Ma's son, daughter-in-law and several other families living on the first floor. On the other side were several residents living upstairs.
The two sides were arguing fiercely.
"Mr. Huang, you are totally devoid of conscience! The factory said they wanted to take over my house, but you were doing bad things behind my back! You will be struck by lightning sooner or later!"
"Bah! How could I say bad things about you behind your back? I said the same thing to your face! The factory is not fair! We are all the same, why can you change to a four-bedroom, one-living room apartment? Come on, everyone, is this reasonable?"
"Stop instigating others here!"
"Who did I instigate? Ask everyone if they are dissatisfied in their hearts!"
"You old bastard, I'm going to rip your stinky mouth off!"
…
The situation deteriorated rapidly, with Auntie Ma and the other party fighting over hair. Auntie Ma's son and daughter-in-law also joined in, and the other side was not to be trifled with either, and the fight was a bloodbath, with everyone in a state of panic.
With a loud shout of "Stop hitting me!"
I saw that someone had already called the leader over, and the deputy factory manager had a stiff face and pulled the people away.
"If you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely!"
Auntie Ma couldn't wait: "Leader, this Huang is deliberately harming me. She went against our factory's agreement!"
The middle-aged woman with disheveled hair who had been fighting with Auntie Ma shuddered when she heard the words, then became firm.
"Leader, I just don't accept it! I think this is unfair!"
The deputy factory manager did not want to decide the case in front of so many people, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go to my office!"
As the deputy factory manager took the man away, the onlookers dispersed and started discussing the matter.
"Tsk tsk, Auntie is shaking. She is so lucky. She used to draw lots from a single piece. How could she draw the first floor?"
"In my opinion, they shouldn't have taken it in the first place. The factory should have just paid for the repairs instead of doing this."
"Hey, you guys, the deputy factory director was taken away. Will you stop mentioning this matter in the future?"
"That may be the case. Anyway, if they can change a 30-square-meter apartment into a 4-bedroom apartment, I won't accept it. It's not like they have made any contribution to the factory."
…
Listening to everyone's discussions, Jian Feng looked at his wife silently.
Both of them were somewhat thankful that they got rid of the matter so early. It had only been three days and the factory was already in turmoil. It seemed that just as Kong Guorong had said, if this matter was to go forward, it would inevitably encounter numerous difficulties.
Not long after the three of them walked away, Wang Mengmei saw a person with her sharp eyes.
"Hey, who is that? Why did Sun Yan follow him?"
I saw Sun Yan holding her child, following closely behind Aunt Ma's family, her face filled with indignation.
Jian Feng: "...Sun Yan's house has four buildings."
Therefore, it is also within the scope of the factory's repurchase.
