Chapter 139 Buying a House (Edited)



"Uncle, we are all from the countryside, we don't have that many tricks. We mean what we say. What I do in the hotel and clothing industry is a service industry, which is to serve customers. Customers are the most important. If one of our people has good character, a gentle personality, is not irritable, and doesn't make big mistakes, as long as he is willing, I will always want him. If he performs well, he can be promoted to store manager or management level. That's all possible."

"I bought the house in your village. We are a family. If it's not one of our people who made the mistake, I will definitely defend it. After all, defending the reputation of my employees is defending my own reputation."

"Of course, it would be best if you can read and do math well. That way, you can get a higher salary."

Aunt Zhang, the wife of the team leader beside Liu Changshan, anxiously tugged at his clothes. "What are you thinking, you old man? What's the offer from the young comrade? Aren't there several old houses at the west end of our village? Go ask them if they're willing to sell them and what's the price?"

"That old house of your third brother's has been uninhabited for over ten years. Although it's a bit run-down, it's spacious and would be nice to renovate. If the young comrade doesn't like it anymore, we can tear it down and rebuild it. Lijun has only graduated from high school a year and has been looking for a job. Isn't this an opportunity?"

Liu Changshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "How much salary do you pay?"

Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary employees, such as waiters, waitresses, dishwashers, and cleaners, will have a probationary period of three months, with a monthly salary of 27 yuan. After three months, if they don't make mistakes, work actively, and provide enthusiastic service, they will earn 35 yuan a month. If they are capable and responsible, can serve as lobby managers, help greet guests, and have a good service attitude, etc., their salary will range from 45 to 50 yuan, and there will be benefits on August 15th and at the end of each year.

When Aunt Zhang heard about such great benefits, her mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Oh my god! This is much higher than what you, the team leader, make." The few people in her village who worked in the factory only made 17 or 18 yuan a month. With that, she slapped Liu Changshan on the back. "What are you thinking, you old fool? Our village is so big, and there are so many empty houses. Why can't you sell them? If you don't want to, why don't you ask other families if they're willing to sell?"

After saying that, he pulled Liu Changshan back a few steps and whispered to Qian Duoduo on his back, "Old man, you can't be vague. Things are different now. Houses can be bought and sold, and it's not illegal. No one wants those dilapidated houses in the west end, so it's okay to sell them to her. Our Juan'er, Guodong, and Guoqiang all need jobs. It's so hard to find a job nowadays. If they have a job, it will be easier for them to find a partner."

"Okay, stop nagging. I know what's going on."

After saying this, he turned around and resumed his captain's behavior.

With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth for a few steps and said in a deep voice, "Eight. If you can arrange jobs for eight people, and the villagers are willing to sell you a house, I have no objection and will handle the formalities for you."

Qian Duoduo thought about it and took the opportunity to make a request, "To be honest, my two stores are being renovated, five people is a bit too many, eight people will cost me a lot."

Liu Changshan glanced at her and said, "Little comrade, please think about this carefully."

Qian Duoduo also walked back and forth a few steps, looked around, and after about three or four minutes, she said: “Eight people are available, and I can also guarantee that as long as they are capable, have good character, and have a junior high school or high school education, they will be given priority to become leaders. The leadership level will have a salary of fifty to eighty, and as their performance improves, their salary will continue to increase.

But you have to sell me the first hill on the west side."

"no!"

Liu Changshan refused without even thinking about it.

The mountains and land are the assets left by their ancestors to their descendants. How can they be sold?

What's more, the commune would not agree.

Qian Duoduo seemed to know the outcome and was not annoyed. "I'll pay 20,000 yuan to buy the first small hill in your village."

Liu Changshan said with a sullen face, "Little comrade, please stop talking. It's impossible. Not only am I unwilling to sell that hilltop, but the whole village won't sell it either. The commune or the town won't sell it either. Just forget it."

Qian Duoduo sighed and thought for a while, "How about this? I'll rent it."

"It's mainly because my grandfather and his family are used to farming. I let him do nothing, and he always feels uncomfortable. Now that he's in the capital, he's still clamoring to farm. I thought, since he's old, I'd give him a hilltop to plant some fruit trees. He doesn't have to do any work, just watch."

"If you really can't sell it, can you rent me a piece of the mountain? I'll give you 5,000 yuan in one go for a ten-year lease, which is equivalent to 500 yuan a year."

Aunt Zhang is a great assist, her eyes lit up when she heard the word "five thousand"!

A slap landed on Liu Changshan's shoulder. "Aren't you short of money to run your pig farm? Aren't you just here to give me some? You're out of your mind." She then looked at Qian Duoduo and said, "Little girl, I've agreed. It's just a hill. Plant whatever fruit trees you like."

"Shut up, you loser old woman!"

Is this something he can decide alone?

Even if we rent it, it’s the brigade’s money!

"Comrade, you know that this hilltop belongs to the brigade. My own words don't count. How about this, if you really want to rent it, I'll ask the villagers."

Qian Duoduo nodded. "Then go ahead and ask now. By the way, who's willing to sell the houses on the west end? I have several uncles and cousins, and they've all split up. My grandma asked each of them to buy a yard."

Out of curiosity, Aunt Zhang asked, "Girl, your uncle and cousin are all from the village, where did they get the money to buy a house?"

Qian Duoduo smiled embarrassedly and said, "My grandma asked me to lend it to them first. No, I'm afraid they won't pay me back in the future. So I put the house in my name first. When they pay me back, I'll transfer the house to their name."
