Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 711 Han San's Thoughts

Xiao Hong said, "Wait a minute, Chen Hui is busy."

Chen Xiao tilted his head and walked over: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Wei said, "Help my dad try on some clothes. What do you want to buy?"

Chen Xiao pulled open the clothes in her hand at her chest: "Will this suit me?"

Xiao Wei looked at it and said, "The style is okay, but the color is a bit off. Do you have any other colors?"

Xiao Hong said, "The color is fine, but it's dark now. It will be fine when the sun comes out during the day. Xiao Xiao, you won't listen to him."

Chen Hui put on the clothes he was going to buy for Xiao Wei's dad. Xiao Hong looked him over and said, "They're alright, but doesn't the style make him look a bit old?"

Chen Hui took off his clothes and threw them into Xiao Hong's arms, saying, "This is the style for middle-aged and elderly people, isn't it? You're planning to buy a trendy one for your grandpa? Your taste is really questionable. Come on, honey, which one do you like? Don't listen to them, I'll show you."

Ran Tu asked Xiao Hong, "Your family is so rich, why are you buying things here too?"

Xiao Hong was haggling with the clothing store owner when she rolled her eyes and said, "What money do I have?"

Mo Lijuan tugged at Ran Tu and whispered, "Are you stupid?"

……

The next day, after Xiaowei finished eating, he took Xiaohong to the guesthouse to pick up their Xiali car, then went to the police station to say hello, and took Xiaowu to Yu Hong to buy a sapling. Actually, it couldn't really be called a sapling anymore; they were buying a pine tree.

There are several groves of trees on the campus of the School of Engineering. Right inside the north gate, there are two large groves of pine trees.

There is a fairly large seedling base in Yuhong, which is now the area of ​​the forest park. Now, after several administrative divisions, Yuhong is completely different from what it was in 91. Back then, Yuhong's territory was the largest among the districts, almost encompassing the entire city.

The tree cost 300 yuan, and they also paid 50 yuan for transportation to have the nursery deliver it to the College of Engineering. Xiaowei and Xiaowu then went to Wanliu and found a few people at the construction site to bring tools to the College of Engineering. They dug up the broken tree, prepared water, and planted the pine tree directly after it arrived. They also repaired the turf underneath and watered it.

By the time everything was done, the whole morning had passed.

When Xiaohong came over after class and took a look, she notified the school's labor union to come and inspect the situation, and the matter of hitting the tree was considered closed. After having lunch with Xiaohong at the school cafeteria, Xiaowei went to Wanliu again, and Han San came over.

"Holy crap, you guys are really something else. You managed to make such a big commotion so quietly. This building is awesome." Han San stood at the intersection, looking up at the towering headquarters building and exclaiming in amazement. In 91, there were only a few tall buildings in Fengtian, and most places were four, five, six or seven stories high, so it's no wonder Han San was so surprised.

"So this is your office building? You're something else. You've built a huge one, aren't you?" Han San asked Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei said, "We definitely won't use it all. I didn't originally plan to build it this tall, but the design institute said that since we were going to build it anyway, we might as well make it tall so we wouldn't run out of space later. I estimate that once it's finished next year, we'll have to rent out part of the ground floor, and I'll have about six or seven floors for myself."

Han San said, "You could set up a hotel here. If you develop this whole area in the future, it would be quite good."

Xiao Wei said, "Forget it, who would live in a hotel in this area?"

Han San said, "Absolutely! Let me tell you, in three years at most, you'll see what this area looks like. It's developing so fast now. In the future, this place will definitely be the center. It's right next to 606, with a big hospital to the south, the Wu'ai South Pagoda to the west, and only four or five miles from the Forbidden City. The buildings are tall too. Let me tell you, the hotel will be on the very top, and the restaurant will be on the top floor. It'll be absolutely awesome."

Xiao Wei looked up and said, "It's possible? A hotel? I don't know anything about that. You can't just do that anywhere." Actually, he was quite tempted.

Han San said, "What's there to be afraid of if you don't know? Just find someone who does. With money and property, what's there to be afraid of? Are you in or not? I'll help you find people."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "How about I rent you the place, and you can run it?"

Han San scratched his head: "Let me think about it. I have some ideas about this. How about we partner up? You provide the building, and I'll provide the money. Is that okay?"

Xiao Wei said, "Partnership is more troublesome. We can just discuss how many floors you need and agree on a price. That's the simplest way. The rent can be paid a day earlier or later, and all the profits are yours."

Han San thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. I'm tempted. But I still need to discuss it with my sister-in-law. I have to listen to her on this. I can't judge things as well as she can."

Xiao Wei said, "It's all for next year, there's still time."

Han San shook his head and said, "A hotel won't work. It'll be troublesome to change things after you've finished, and it'll cost more money. This needs to be decided now. How about you leave the top 10 or so floors empty? Just finish the exterior and install the piping inside. Let me tell you, even if I don't do it and you do it yourself, it'll be totally worth it."

Xiao Wei looked at the document and thought for a moment before saying, "Never mind, I can't make up my mind either. Let me discuss it with you."

Han San laughed a few times, put his arm around Xiao Wei's shoulder and walked into the building: "This is a food factory? Where are you planning to set up your seasoning factory? Here too? That's enough, you've really made a fortune, this will require a lot of equipment, hehe, I can also have a taste of the benefits."

Xiao Wei smiled and shook his head, feeling that he had many things to learn from Han San. Knowing his purpose, he was still willing to interact with him and be his friend; that was a skill.

The factory interior is almost finished; the wiring and lighting are all in place, and workers are installing doors and windows. It's actually quite simple: cement floors, a break room and restrooms, a materials warehouse, a finished goods warehouse, and two loading docks outside the finished goods warehouses on the first floor.

The middle area wasn't enclosed yet, and it wasn't cleaned, so it looked a bit messy. Xiaowei and Han San stepped through the trash to get inside.

The original plan was for a three-story building, but it actually became a three-and-a-half-story structure. Engineer Wang said it was for reinforcement, and a tension structure was needed between the upper part and the main structure, so they simply built another half-story building, which will temporarily serve as offices. Once the main structure is completed next year, the offices will be moved there, and this place will be converted into dormitories.

"Where do your workers live now?" Han San asked Xiao Wei after touring the factory area. The people he brought were measuring and arranging equipment, while he and Xiao Wei stood aside watching and talking.

Xiao Wei said, "I'll make do for a few months on the ground floor across the street, or maybe in the garage over there. It'll only be this winter."

Han San said, "The environment doesn't matter, but you have to make sure the heating is done properly. Don't let the workers get cold and cause trouble."

Xiao Wei said, "No, the heating pipes are all connected here. If it's not enough, we'll add some electric heating."

Han San said, "I suggest you, I really suggest you turn this place into dormitories right away, so it's all done in one go. You can make do with your office somewhere else for now. It's not like there's no place for an office, it's easy to move, right? Let's settle the workers in first."
