Chapter 236 Going South to Buy Land
Su Heng had specially designed a very good ventilation system for the kitchen.
It was dinner time, and the aroma of hot pot and braised food wafted out, and people on the street could smell it.
How to say it, my feet couldn't help but walk towards the store, wanting to see what new things were there.
The kitchen suddenly became busy, and Chef Hao's hands were almost leaving afterimages as he swung the spatula.
Two waiters also came in to help prepare the dishes.
When Su Heng and the others finished their meal and went downstairs leisurely, the place was already crowded.
In the early spring weather, the guests ate with relish, sweating profusely.
It seems that everyone should be able to accept this taste.
After seeing off their friends and welcoming the successful start of the business, Su Heng and his friends stayed in the store to help out for a while.
It wasn't until after dinner that I had some free time.
But by the evening, there were even more people than at noon, and even the second floor was almost full.
Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan helped serve the dishes and asked for the diners' opinions.
I felt relieved only after receiving unanimous praise.
Because it was the weekend, there were definitely more people than usual. On Monday, when Su Heng heard Lu Mingchuan say that business was a little less than the day before, she was quite calm.
Their store has just opened and is not well-known yet. Once it becomes well-known, they will have a stable group of repeat customers.
Another week passed, and seeing that the hot pot restaurant business was getting better and better as Su Heng expected, she hired another waiter.
Then he took two weeks off and boarded a train heading south with Lu Mingchuan and Su Jing.
In fact, Su Heng had never been to Shenzhen in his previous life, but he had a very clear understanding of the situation there through online media.
After all, many people there became rich overnight and have always been the envy of people in later generations.
The three of them squeezed into trains for several days and took several buses before they finally reached their destination.
The moment he got off the car, even though Su Jing trusted his sister, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Are you sure it's here?"
The small fishing village in front of me has dilapidated houses, and almost every household has fishing nets hanging out to dry, emitting the unique fishy smell of fish.
Why does this place look even poorer than where they live?
Su Heng took the map he had specially bought and nodded, saying, "It must be here."
Although people in later generations often jokingly called this place a small fishing village, it was actually a county with several communes under it.
The first commune she visited was the one that impressed her the most, and it is also the place that will be open to investment and development by the end of this year at the latest.
Seeing that Su Jing still looked doubtful about his life, Su Heng smiled and said, "Brother, don't look at the shabby house. There is a pier here where you can take a boat."
The wind was strong at the seaside and the house was badly damaged, so it did look a bit shabby.
They have lived in the city for a long time and just feel a little uncomfortable when they suddenly arrive in the village.
Su Jing became interested: "Then can we go fishing with them? I haven't eaten fish from the sea yet."
"Then you can eat as much as you want these days." Su Heng said with a smile.
Then a few people asked for directions and found the person in charge of the village. They wanted to buy the vacant land in the village under the pretext of surveying the address for setting up a factory.
There is a fishing brigade here, so I wasn't too surprised when I heard Su Heng and the others said they wanted to set up a factory for dried seafood.
Transportation is inconvenient now, so this is basically the only way to sell seafood to other places.
It just sounds like this factory is bigger than the average small factory.
The person in charge who received Su Heng and the others was named Pan. When he heard that this was an important customer, he immediately smiled and said, "You can just call me Uncle Pan. There is vacant land in the village. I can take you to see it."
Hearing this, Lu Mingchuan stepped forward and handed Uncle Pan a cigarette, saying, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Pan."
When Pan saw this rare thing, the smile in his eyes suddenly became more sincere.
"Hey, what's the trouble?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately took a few people to walk around several open spaces in the village. Su Heng noticed that there were still several empty houses on the roadside.
The roof was broken, so I thought it was impossible for anyone to live there. So I asked, "Uncle Pan, are there any vacant houses for sale in the village?"
Uncle Pan was stunned for a moment: "You mean those unoccupied houses?"
Su Heng nodded.
"Yes, there are, but those houses are very shabby. Are you sure you want to buy them?"
When some elderly people in the village pass away and have no one to inherit their houses, these houses will be considered as belonging to the village. Or when an elderly person dies and his children move to the city, they will also entrust the villagers to help sell the house.
But those houses themselves were not of good quality. They had not been lived in for a long time and were very dilapidated.
Su Heng didn't expect him to be so honest, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't mind. When the factory opens, there will always be out-of-town employees. We can renovate it and use it as a dormitory for the employees."
Uncle Pan now looked at those people as if they were some stupid, rich, nouveau riche.
Seeing how young these people are, I wonder how their families let them come out to discuss business.
Uncle Pan felt a little embarrassed to have cheated them.
"There are six vacant houses, but three of them are really dilapidated. However, those houses have large homesteads and also have fields." He said a little lacking confidence, as it was obvious that these people didn't know how to farm.
Who knew Su Heng would say, "That's great. We can grow some food to supply the factory canteen, so we can be self-sufficient and save money."
Uncle Pan didn't understand what the term "self-sufficiency" meant, but he saw that this man was truly foolish and wealthy, so he asked, "Then why don't you buy a better house?"
"I'm afraid the better houses are all occupied."
That’s true, but Uncle Pan thinks that if the money is enough, many people will be willing to sell their houses.
But Su Heng didn't want this to happen. She had taken the lead and didn't want to snatch the opportunity from others. It wasn't like she couldn't buy the land.
If we buy up the houses of the villagers who originally lived here in advance, what is the difference between that and those unscrupulous real estate developers who got the demolition news in advance and tricked people into moving out?
If she rents land from the village, she will get a share of the profits. But if she tricks the natives into selling their houses to her, she will be occupying their place.
Su Heng is not a pure saint, but she is not that heartless either.
Lu Mingchuan and Su Jing both understood what she meant and didn't say much.
Uncle Pan didn't try to persuade her any further. He scratched his head and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go to my house and have dinner first. I'll take you to see the vacant houses in the afternoon."
Su Heng readily agreed.
After dinner, Uncle Pan took them to see the vacant houses very efficiently in the afternoon.
Although the house was indeed very shabby, Su Heng still decided to buy it.
After all, she didn't really buy it to live in.
The six houses have a total residential land area of more than 1,200 square meters, plus three acres of paddy fields.
Because there were two households whose elderly people had died without descendants, their household registration was directly cancelled and these two households were not included in the land distribution.
But Uncle Pan thought that they were at a disadvantage, so he allocated the vacant land near the house to them as dry farmland.
So there were two more acres of dry land.
In the end, I spent a total of two thousand three and got it easily.
The house is not expensive, but the land will cost some money.
Su Heng and his family bought five rooms for 1,800 yuan, and Su Jing bought a large one with an acre of paddy field for 500 yuan.
They also rented another ten acres of land to build a factory and signed a thirty-year contract.
Because it was wasteland and not suitable for farming, the rent was very cheap, only fifty yuan per mu per year. Ten mu of land cost fifteen thousand yuan over thirty years.
The procedure was completed quickly in two days, and both parties felt they had made a profit.
