Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 603 is a bit uncomfortable.
“I have a good way to solve this problem. Let’s not waste our energy there. Let’s just stand there and confront them. Let’s call more people and take turns on duty. They want to hold up shovels, right? Let them hold them up and see how long they can last. If they want to persuade us, let them talk.”

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he found a small stool and sat down, looking quite relaxed. He didn't care what the other party was thinking. Since these people wanted to cause trouble here with shovels, he would just wait and see. There would always be a way to resolve this matter.

"I'd like to ask first, what are your thoughts on the request for two small apartments? Given the current situation, it's definitely unacceptable if this isn't resolved."

Lin Chen first looked at Li Xue beside him.

“Logically speaking, their demands are not unreasonable, but there is a problem. Those who originally did not have houses were allocated houses, mainly because everyone wanted a fair distribution. Many of their houses were bought from other people, and they did not expect that they would be demolished.”

"Oh! So they're people who hoard houses, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“I understand now. We can’t hoard houses anymore. Their way of making money has been cut off, so they will definitely struggle desperately here.”

Everyone understood immediately. After all that fuss, they realized they wanted two houses: one for themselves and one to rent out, so they could continue making money.

"Oh! Let's confront them first and not rush to deal with other things. I also want to see what this person is up to. Are we planning to build a business district here?"

Lin Chen glanced at Li Xue beside him.

"Yes, and this business district is to become a landmark area of ​​the city, so this place must be demolished, otherwise it will cause new trouble."

Lin Chen suddenly had a brilliant idea. Since these people were unwilling to relocate, then they wouldn't have to move. He would simply turn this place into a tourist attraction and fence it off. That way, they wouldn't get anything, not even new houses, and if anything went wrong, they would have to bear the consequences themselves.

After Lin Chen said that, everyone suddenly understood. Li Xue immediately told the relevant department about the idea, wanting the person in charge to see if the plan was feasible.

"So, their current demand is that they must receive two houses before they will relocate, right? But according to our regulations, they can't do that, can they?"

"Yes! This was based on investigation. We interviewed people who sold their houses, and they made it very clear that they bought the houses at the lowest price back then, and that these people had nowhere to live after selling their houses and could only continue to rent."

In other words, this family had previously made a considerable amount of money. This is indeed a difficult question to answer, and if it were to cause serious trouble, the consequences could be dire.

"So our boss said, let's take this opportunity to turn this place into a part of the city's memory. In any case, those people won't have to worry about relocation anymore. Anyway, these houses haven't all been demolished yet. Those that agreed to be demolished have already been demolished. There's only a little bit left, not much."

After Li Xue said that, everyone realized what she meant. Indeed, it was a great idea; it could turn this place into a new tourist attraction. And as the surrounding people's lives improved, they themselves would feel uneasy.

"By the time they figure it out and want to move, they might not even have the chance. In any case, once they've thought it through, they might not be able to move even if they want to."

"Alright! That basically solves the problem. Let's not think about it too much and get started on the preparations."

Initially, both parties drew a line, clearly stipulating that construction was absolutely prohibited once this line was crossed. However, the other party made exorbitant demands.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen readily agreed and even drew a line for it himself.

“I think this matter is pretty much settled. The most important thing now is that we need to hurry up and build a nice fence outside this line. Not a wall, you know. There’s no need to completely enclose that area. After all, it’s part of the city’s memory. And the fence also needs to be aesthetically pleasing.”

Everyone was stunned by these words; they hadn't expected such a dramatic turn of events. It seemed the task ahead was becoming increasingly crucial.

They decided to start building a fence and even planned a road to make life easier for those people, while also connecting them to water and electricity.

Those people were overjoyed when they heard that.

"Haha! We have to have a good meal today to celebrate! We finally saved this house. Look how big this place is. People will definitely come to live here in the future, and we can collect rent again, haha!"

"With so many houses, and they're not going to demolish them, why don't we just rent them out? This place will definitely become lively again."

"There will always be young people coming to live here. The price will remain the same. If they can't accept it, then they shouldn't live here. This will be the city center in the future!"

……

This family had a clever plan. However, Lin Chen had already started thinking about this issue. He planned to simply build some low-rent housing, or apartments in the true sense, in this area to help everyone solve their housing problems.

These apartments are like storefronts; they don't need to be brand new, just get the concept right.

Lin Chen proposed this idea at a meeting.

“Take a look, you guys. Now a lot of young people from other places come here hoping to settle down and make a good living. But this is the city center, and if the rent is too high, some people will definitely go to rent elsewhere, which is pointless. So I think that once this place is settled, the next step is to hurry up and build affordable housing, which is this apartment building. Then set up an organization on the first floor to be specifically responsible for coordination. We can say that we are responding to everyone’s call.”

Lin Chen's words immediately put everyone's eyes on him. This effectively thwarted the family's wishful thinking.

So everyone started working hard on construction. To maintain stability, they even sent the family a lot of nice things.

"Grandpa, we've thought about it carefully, and there might have been some things we didn't consider thoroughly before. So this time I brought a lot of plants, you can try planting them at home. If you need anything, just let me know, we're all family."

The old man smiled after hearing this.

"You just want me to make the house nicer, but you're too embarrassed to say it directly. After all, according to the contract, you can't do any construction here. Oh well, it's my house, I can do whatever I want. But I'll accept these things as a token of your kindness."

"All right!"

Since this family wasn't cooperating, there was no need to say anything more. They simply created a beautiful green belt around the perimeter of the area, along the fence, and planted it full of trees.

This changed everything. More and more trees appeared, along with a greater variety of plants, and consequently, more small animals.

Moreover, the contract did not stipulate that trees could not be planted, and the use of the land outside was originally arranged by them.

That wasn't all. First, they dug a body of water around the building, like a moat, so people wouldn't have to worry about so many things.

The old man was somewhat surprised to see this, wondering what they meant by suddenly digging up this body of water. Then, they planted a green belt outside it.

According to the previous explanation, if they planted trees directly here, and any branches extended into the yard, it would be considered an infringement. So they simply planted trees outside the water area, so that as long as they are properly pruned, the trees will definitely not extend into the yard.

Most importantly, this body of water has no effect on them at all, and it can even keep out all the bad things.

The old man was furious, but there was nothing he could do but swallow his anger. After all, they were currently using industrial land outside the area. Once things were settled, they immediately used the prepared resources to build a large park.

In the days that followed, they raced against time to push forward with the construction work. As the project progressed, various opinions gradually increased; however, thanks to the green belts, the environment of this area became increasingly pleasant.

The elderly man watched helplessly as skyscrapers rose from the ground every day, and his heart ached terribly. He had originally thought he could gain an advantage in this game, but reality proved otherwise.

Meanwhile, housing construction at another site is also progressing steadily and has now achieved considerable progress.

Currently, tenants are gradually moving out. The resettlement housing community passed all the necessary approvals in a very short time, and this truly new community has instantly become the focus of attention throughout the city.

The tenants happily moved into their new homes and successfully obtained their property ownership certificates. From then on, they were all homeowners.

After the house became available, the elderly man quickly contacted a real estate agent, intending to rent it out as soon as possible.

Lin Chen was not to be outdone and immediately began constructing a low-rent housing building, with very reasonable pricing.

As a result, the elderly person's vacant house instantly lost its appeal. The reason is simple: those houses were filthy and chaotic, with even the toilets being shared. For young people who had to rush to work every morning, living there would be a nightmare.

Let's take a look at Lin Chen's low-rent apartment. Not only is the price fair, but it also has a private bathroom and the decoration is quite nice.

When compared like this, the situation is quite different.

The office buildings were gradually completed, the entire area took on a brand-new look, and commercial real estate began to be sold to the public.

Next, a large-scale central residential area rose up behind the park. At this point, the entire plan was taking shape.

After a series of efforts, the houses in the community were quickly sold out, and the commercial real estate also welcomed many tenants.

Even the school was well-prepared, attracting a large number of people without much publicity.

After months of tireless efforts, the entire development was completed, and within just six months, a strong commercial atmosphere was created.

Lin Chen beamed with joy: "Haha! We've really made a splash in this field! I never expected our new concept house to actually work!"

But the old man was furious with Lin Chen. First of all, the park was free, so he couldn't profit from it.

Even more ruthless, Lin Chen made a decision that was both "destructive" and "heartbreaking": anyone other than the old man's trusted friends who wanted to visit his old house had to buy a ticket.

But who would want to come? Everyone knows this family has always been harsh and has never been kind to their tenants.

Now the tables have turned, and the tenants all have their own houses. No one wants to recall that unpleasant past.

Left with no other choice, the elderly man had to call his children back home.

"If all else fails, we can just put some decent things up at home. They gave us a business license, right? Why not just open a small restaurant and renovate the place?"

However, if you actually open a restaurant at home, you'll face new problems. Because you'll have to charge an entrance fee, customers will have to pay twice—once for the entrance fee and once for the meal—which is clearly not cost-effective.

The old man really had no choice. If he really wanted to open a small restaurant here, he would have to compete with the snack shops in the commercial real estate.

Unfortunately, the conditions here have deteriorated further.

"If all else fails, let's just tell them we're moving out. Didn't they say they'd give us a place to live?"

With no other option, the old man went directly to Lin Chen's office.

"Huh? You mean you want to move out?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yeah! Didn't you say you'd give us a place to live as soon as we moved out? So why are we still here?"

"Huh? Didn't you want to give up? It's written in black and white that you've decided to give up that house and intend to continue living here, so we've already taken a lot of consideration for you."

"If all else fails, let's just rebuild the house here."

But when they decided to rebuild the house, they discovered a problem: they needed to get approval from the relevant authorities first.

Although the relevant department head verbally agreed to rebuild the old man's house in the central location, the materials developed by Lin Chen must be used, and the old man must find a construction team himself.

The old man was furious; his last "hope" had been shattered.

Lin Chen was overjoyed when he heard the news; it was a real triumph!

Lin Chen's success caused a huge stir in the real estate industry, especially among the heads of established real estate companies, who all felt ashamed and humiliated.

"What exactly is going on? Do we have to change our ways like him from now on?"

"Who knows! If all the houses are built like this in the future, won't we all have to follow in Lin Chen's footsteps? I'm really not willing to accept that!"

"I don't know what this so-called fourth-generation house is, but I do know that what ordinary people really need are houses that they can actually live in, not these fancy gimmicks."

……

These people couldn't sit still any longer and went to the industry association to ask for help and advice. However, the association president was so captivated by Lin Chen's advanced ideas that he had no interest in their affairs.
