Lin Ye gave a smug smile. "There are times when you can't guess, right? Actually, I'm quite surprised myself."
Seeing his smug smile, Lu Wanqing knew it was a good thing, and happily sat on the back of the bicycle, listening to him tell her all.
It turned out that Lin Ye told Zhang Wei that when they went to the printing factory to find someone to print books, they unknowingly started talking about how construction teams were being misunderstood and had difficulty finding projects.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Wei suddenly said, "My dad is thinking of building a house. I wonder if your construction team would be interested?"
Zhang Changgui is getting old and now lives upstairs, but it's inconvenient for him to go up and down the stairs, so he wants to move to a bungalow.
It just so happens that the old man has a friend who bought a piece of land near the city river. It's currently vacant and no one wants it, so they want to transfer it to him. The old man is interested in buying it and building a house on it.
“Actually, I don’t really support him buying the land. The city river is just a stinking ditch. The people who used to live there are all thinking about moving out, but he actually wants to live there! But he likes it, so I can’t do anything about it and can only satisfy him!” Zhang Wei continued.
Lin Ye was naturally happy to have a job, so he agreed that as long as Zhang Changgui bought the land, he and Luo Hao would go to the site to survey it and discuss building the house.
After listening to Lin Ye's account, Lu Wanqing paused for a moment before asking, "Has the land along the city river been purchased?"
"They say they're already negotiating the price, around one hundred to two hundred yuan per mu. He's only buying three mu, so I doubt he'll hesitate," Lin Ye said, then raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you interested too?"
Lu Wanqing smiled gently. Lin Ye was really getting to know her better and better. Usually, when she frowned in thought, it meant she was making some important decisions.
“Yes, I’d like to buy some too!” she said directly.
Anyway, after selling clothes last time, she received several thousand yuan. Combined with her previous income and savings, she already had thirty or forty thousand yuan. She could easily buy some land as an investment.
Lin Ye, naturally unaware of any investment philosophy, said worriedly, "But Zhang Wei is right. No one has taken care of the city river for years. People living nearby dump sewage and garbage into it, turning it into a stinking ditch. People living there only continue to live there because they have no other choice. If they had any other options, they would have moved away. The houses there have also been secretly sold off at low prices."
In this era, houses cannot be bought and sold, but private transactions are not uncommon. People are generally trustworthy, and it is rare for a house to be sold and then reclaimed after a period of time.
Moreover, land has land deeds and houses have house deeds. Regardless of the era in which they are produced, they are at least proof of ownership.
In the previous life, Yushan County underwent a major urban reform. The city's river was renovated, transforming from a stinking ditch into a clear river, becoming a scenic spot in the city. The surrounding land was expropriated, and a large sum of compensation was paid.
In a few years, commercial housing will be on the market, and land prices will skyrocket. Buying land now at an extremely low price and reselling it in a few years can earn you dozens of times your initial investment. Only someone with a keen eye could come up with such a business idea.
Lu Wanqing would not let go of this opportunity to use her cheat ability.
After arriving home, she and Lin Ye had already discussed it and decided that she would buy some things herself next time they went on a survey.
After settling Lu Wanqing in, Lin Ye wanted to tell Luo Hao the good news about getting the job, so he hurriedly headed towards his house.
At this time, at Luo Hao's home.
Luo Hao racked his brains for people he trusted, and besides the craftsmen like Tan Mujiang, he also thought of Luo Jun.
Luo Jun has always been down-to-earth and hardworking, and he is also my older brother, so he would never do anything to harm me.
He then tried to persuade Luo Jun to become his partner.
"Brother, what are you hesitating for? I'm not asking you to spend any money, I'm just asking you to manage things for me. You can earn a lot more money!" Luo Hao said a bit bluntly when he saw Luo Jun's hesitation.
Luo Jun, however, had his own concerns: "I'm the kind of person who doesn't even dare to argue with others, how can I possibly control people!"
"With me here, what big waves can they stir up? I don't trust anyone else to help us expand our business in the future!" Luo Hao said earnestly.
Luo Jun was squatting on the ground, still thinking, when Li Fang snorted and chimed in, "Haozi, I know you're capable, but you can't even get a job right now, what's the point of saying all this!"
“There’s no farm work now, so it’s a good time to go out and find some work!” Luo Hao retorted.
Ever since Li Fang tarnished the construction team's reputation, Luo Hao no longer respected his sister-in-law as before.
Li Fang showed a disdainful look, "Then you go find it. Only after you find it can you let your older brother join. Otherwise, you'll make your older brother work for nothing!"
Clearly, they no longer believe that construction teams can find work!
Lin Ye came over, and Li Fang's disdain was naturally seen.
He walked over and said casually to Luo Hao, "There's a job in the county town. Let's go and investigate it together when we have some time!"
Happiness came too suddenly, and Luo Hao didn't react at first. When he did, he immediately jumped up, grabbed his body and shook him, "Brother Ye, are you serious?"
"Why would I lie to you! You know Minister Zhang, right? His father wants to build a house." Lin Ye pried his hands away.
Luo Hao was overjoyed, completely unconcerned about Lin Ye's disdain. "It's true what they say, things change. The commune didn't recognize us, and the various brigades didn't give us a chance. I never thought we could find work in the county town!"
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. We must do this project well. Once this project is done well, we won't have to worry about not having work in the future!" Lin Ye was infected by his smile and laughed along with him.
Li Fang, keeping her eyes downcast and a smile immediately spreading across her face, shoved Luo Jun and said, "What are you still sitting there like an idiot for? Quickly tell Haozi that you're willing to join!"
Luo Jun frowned, "Didn't you just say you disagreed...?"
"Oh dear, what do I, a mere woman, know? You just follow Haozi and work hard. You don't need to worry about things at home!" Li Fang immediately changed her tune.
Luo Hao had to admire Li Fang's ability to change her mind faster than turning the pages of a book.
However, he did need help, and rather than asking an outsider, he should ask his older brother for assistance.
"Sister-in-law, from now on, my brother will work with me, so you're not allowed to hold him back anymore!" Luo Hao's calm tone carried a warning.
Li Fang nodded repeatedly, "No, I was just being silly before!"
She made a mistake last time and was criticized by her family. Later, she went to Chen Xiangxiu to cry and complain. Chen Xiangxiu also comforted her. Li Yulan from the educated youth settlement also enlightened her for a long time. She has come to terms with it.
Since the opportunity to make money was right in front of her, she couldn't possibly let it pass her by. She couldn't just stand by and watch Mu Xiaoting live such a comfortable and successful life, even better than her!
Soon, Zhang Wei sent word that the land had been purchased and that Lin Ye should hurry up and inspect it.
