Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 426 Night Talk

Xiao Wei said, "Didn't the police station say today that you guys are going to build a residential complex? They said there would be houses available, and they even told me I didn't need to buy one."

Zhang Jun looked at Xiao Wei and asked, "What Gao said must include me, right?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "I told you, we were all inside, didn't you know?"

Zhang Jun said, "I know they're going to build houses, but I really don't know if mine will be included. I can't ask, the houses haven't been built yet."

Xiao Hong said, "If your sister-in-law likes it, just buy it. It's not a big deal. Let's wait until my brother has his share of the profits. What's there to be afraid of if we already have the house?"

My sister-in-law smoothed her hair and said, "If my workplace allocates it, there's no rush to buy it. Are you sure?"

Xiao Wei said, "Building a house takes time. If you like it, just buy it. Maybe you can make some money when the house prices go up in a few years."

Wang Gang asked, "Can you really make money flipping houses?"

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "You need to have enough capital first. You can't rush this. You have to buy it and wait patiently. With your temperament, I don't think you'll be able to do it. You'd be more like a guard."

Chen Hui said, "Houses will definitely be valuable in the future. The country is already preparing to stop supplying welfare housing. You in the military may not be paying much attention to this information, but the local authorities have been talking about it for a while now. Houses in Fengtian are now twice as expensive as they were last year."

Wang Gang pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, your dad's news is definitely faster than ours." He then looked at Li Weibing.

Li Weibing immediately understood Wang Gang's meaning, frowned, and said, "We don't have the money. We can't just keep going on credit like this, can we?"

Wang Gang turned to Zhang Jun and asked, "You said that once we've settled on this house, could we set a payment date? Let's set a deadline."

Zhang Jun said, "That's how it's always been done locally, but private individuals haven't dealt with it. Didn't you ask the director?"

Wang Gang said, "Why don't you ask him? If I ask him, he'll just yell at me. Actually, this should be handled internally. We can divide up the less desirable locations among ourselves. Selling to others is still selling, right? We won't gain anything. Five years for the local staff and six or seven years for our own staff isn't unreasonable, is it? As long as the price is the same, the government won't lose out, and we'll get some benefits. Even if the higher-ups investigate, they won't be able to find anything wrong with it."

Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss it with the director when I have time. I doubt it'll work out to use your names directly; it would be best to have an outsider go through the process."

Wang Gang pointed at Xia Maosheng and said, "Him, if someone stabs Chen Hui, it will be troublesome. He's the most suitable."

Xia Maosheng, who was pouring hot water for Geng Hui with his back turned, turned around and asked, "What? What's wrong with me?"

Xiao Wei said, "One person can't do it alone. It's too fake and will only cause trouble. You guys should hurry up and build the houses and start the business. Once you have money, you can buy freely. As long as you don't take advantage of public funds and the price is the same as everyone else's, there's no problem."

My sister-in-law asked, "Should we still buy this house I've been looking at?"

Zhang Jun said, "Let's buy it. How big is it? How much does it cost?"

My sister-in-law said, "The other party wants 35,000 for a two-bedroom apartment."

Zhang Jun said, "Let's buy it. It's not convenient like this now. We can move here once the institute allocates housing here."

My sister-in-law said, "Okay, then I'll go to them tomorrow and finalize things."

Wang Gang suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Hui, "Chen Hui, did you call Chagan's side?"

Chen Hui paused for a moment before reacting, then said, "No, I'll call first thing tomorrow morning, don't worry." Wang Gang clinked his glass with Chen Hui's, downed his drink, and said, "Have you eaten? If you're done, we'll leave. The guards and I have to head back to Chagan tonight."

Zhang Jun glanced at Xiao Wei and the others. Geng Hui said, "We've finished eating." Zhang Jun said, "Okay, then you guys should head back now."

The two of them shook hands with each of Xiaowei's three companions and left. Zhang Jun asked his sister-in-law, "Have you eaten yet?"

My sister-in-law said, "I've already eaten at home."

Zhang Jun said, "Then let's go too. You guys go back to the guesthouse to rest. Geng Hui is still pregnant."

The group got dressed, grabbed their bags, and came out, only to find that Wang Gang had already paid for the meal.

With his sister-in-law joining them, the car was too small for everyone. Xiao Wei asked Xia Maosheng to drive Geng Hui back first, while the rest of them slowly walked back along the road. At this time, Xingcheng wasn't very big; it was just a few main streets from one end to the other, and it would take about an hour to walk around the whole city.

When the group arrived at the guesthouse, Xia Maosheng left the Santana key at the front desk, and he and Geng Hui had already gone back to their room. Chen Hui also said he was going to his room to call Chen Xiao. The guesthouse rooms at the military base had outgoing phone calls.

Zhang Jun, Xiao Wei, and the other two went into Xiao Wei's room and sat down to talk.

My sister-in-law asked, "You bought that house? Who were those two people just now?"

Zhang Jun said, "I bought it, and all the formalities are completed. Those two originally came to snatch the house, but Xiao Wei and the others turned them away. Wang Gang is our director's nephew, so we just had a meal together to let it go. After all, we have a connection with the director."

My sister-in-law nodded and asked, "How much did it cost? Did you buy the whole building?"

Zhang Jun shifted his body, leaning against the headboard, and said, "It cost over 800,000, maybe 890,000, to buy the entire piece of land over there. Xiaowei, have you guys decided what to do with it? Are you really not sure? Or are you waiting until after the reconstruction to decide?"

Xiao Wei sat on another bed and said, "I really haven't decided yet. I'm not familiar with this area, so what should I do? I was thinking of opening a hotel, but opening a hotel would require renovations, and I'd have to rebuild the place myself, so it's a bit of a dilemma."

Zhang Jun said, "Renovating would cost at least two or three million, so you'd better think it over carefully. If you ask me, we should just do something else to use first, and then renovate when we're fully prepared. Anyway, I work here, so the procedures won't be a problem."

Xiao Wei said, "Money isn't a problem, but it'll have to wait until next spring. I can scrape together a few million. The only thing is, I haven't really decided what to do. By the way, bro, could you find someone to help with the blueprints? And what will it look like afterward? Doesn't it need a design first?"

Zhang Jun said, "Yes, I'll find one for you later. So you're just going to be idle this year?"

Xiao Hong said, "Let your sister-in-law take care of it. The storefront over there will need to be rented out anyway. Your sister-in-law can keep an eye on it. If there are any rental opportunities here, we can talk to them. We can use it as an office building and sign a one-year lease."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, sister-in-law. I'll pay you a salary later, hehe."

Zhang Jun said, "I heard you say three stories? Five meters wide and twelve meters deep, right? That's not small. Are you going to put the first and second floors together? What are you planning to do with the whole third floor empty?"

Xiao Wei said, "Businesses definitely have different space requirements. If someone wants a large space, we'll just cut off a section on the third floor for them. My restaurant, for example, is at least a thousand square meters, so it takes up half of the third floor."
