Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 861 Local Resident

Xiao Wei chuckled, patted Liangzi on the shoulder, and said, "You're quite the ladies' man, always eyeing money-making schemes. Why don't you come to my factory to unload goods? I'm short-staffed too, for delivery and production, we need people for everything."

Liangzi smoothed his hair and said, "We can't do it, really. Look at either of us, do we look like we can endure hardship? Our personalities aren't right. Don't worry, boss, we two might not be good at other things, but we can definitely handle getting things done, running errands, or selling things. You can be sure of it."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "I need to talk to the district first and see what they think. If the district agrees, it's fine to build the factory here, it's close by. If you want to come, then come. But let me make this clear beforehand, once you come, you have to obey the rules and regulations of the company. There's no room for negotiation on that."

Shunzi said, "Whoever pays the money is responsible for the work. There's no question about it. It'll definitely work."

Xiao Wei said, "If we do it, we'll definitely have to build an elevator building here. Then we won't be able to return houses on a one-to-one basis anymore. People who want elevator buildings will have to pay some extra money. Do you think that's feasible? Those who don't want to pay extra can go to those buildings. I'll move the people who currently live upstairs here. There are a total of eighty households, which should be enough."

Liangzi asked, "I've checked quite a few houses over there now, who are they? Aren't they for sale?"

Xiao Wei said, "No, I never planned to sell this house. It's all occupied by my family and relatives and friends."

Shunzi asked, "Boss, if we come to work for you, will we still have to pay for the house? Hehehe."

Xiao Wei said, "It'll be at cost price. It's impossible to give it away for free, but I won't make any money off you either."

Liangzi said, "That's great! My family will live in an apartment building with an elevator too, that would be so much more flexible. What about you, Shunzi?"

Shunzi said, "In my family, my dad calls the shots. Let him do whatever he wants. What I say is meaningless."

Xiao Wei said, "If we're thinking long-term, an apartment building with an elevator is better. We don't have to worry about the height. It's more convenient for the elderly to walk here. Living on a higher floor will be difficult for them in the future. You don't need to ask your family about this. Just earn more money and cover the cost."

Shunzi said, "Over there by the river, it's three or four thousand yuan per square meter, and I heard they're starting to sell it. Even if it's cheaper here, it'll still be over two thousand, right?"

Liangzi said, "That residential area over there is surrounded by walls and has security guards. Outsiders aren't allowed to just walk in. It seems pretty impressive."

Xiao Wei said, "I haven't been there. They were just digging holes there when I first arrived."

Chen Hui drove up and stopped next to Xiao Wei, asking, "Wei, what are you doing here?" He glanced at Shunzi and Liangzi.

Xiaowei said, "Xiaohui, what do you think? Would it be okay to take over this whole area? Build a factory, surround it with shops, and build an elevator building on top, about sixteen or seventeen stories high."

Chen Hui thought for a moment, then pulled the handbrake and got out of the car. He looked around and said, "This whole area? It must be about twenty acres, right?"

Xiao Wei said, "No, about fifteen or sixteen mu, not too far off. I just took a look around, and I think it should be fine."

Chen Hui asked, "So, what did the district chief say about that place? Do you still want the riverside area?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep talking about it. If the park can be built over there, it would be great to build a residential area there. But if the factory is feasible, it would be better to build it here. What do you think?"

Chen Hui said, "Like Riverside Garden, huh? Yeah, if we make it big, five or six hundred acres, and build a proper residential area, and have Dean Cheng and the others design it properly, it could be really great. You know what, I feel it could be even better than Riverside Garden. Their villas are all crammed in there, not exposed to the wind on any side, while our villas can be right next to the river, with a view."

Xiao Wei said, "Why don't you go to Dongling tomorrow and talk to them? If there's any demolition here, we'll handle it ourselves and see if we can get the price down. His name is Shunzi, and his name is Liangzi. They both live in this area. They said they can help us make connections, and then these families can just give us an apartment."

Chen Hui asked, "Which house are you getting? A one-to-one replica?"

Xiao Wei said, "Just these few buildings. We'll have these people move to this elevator building. I'm planning to build a few elevator buildings here, with shops around the ground floor and factories inside. As for how much they'll pay, we'll have to negotiate. We'll see how much the land price is and calculate it. If this goes well, we can have them come and work here, mainly in the real estate sector."

He paused for a moment and asked Shunzi and Liangzi, "You two know him, right?"

Shunzi nodded and said, "I know him. There's another one. You three bosses, right? I think there's also someone surnamed Liu, but I don't know what he does. The one surnamed Xie is in charge of the food factory."

Chen Hui said, "Damn, you've figured out our background pretty well. You guys are wasting your talents if you're not spies."

Xiao Wei took out cigarettes, lit one for himself, and handed the pack to Chen Hui. Chen Hui tossed one to Shunzi and one to Liangzi, saying, "We're a three-person business, but Lao Xia works during the day and doesn't handle things here. You know, that guy surnamed Liu manages another company and is also a shareholder. That company is run by the four of us."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "We should send them to Hong Liang's side to train for half a year."

Chen Hui said, "That actually works! Aren't they short-staffed over there?"

Shunzi asked, "What's that over there for?"

Xiao Wei said, "I travel all over Northeast China selling feed and fertilizer, going on business trips, promoting products, and managing distributors."

Liangzi said, "You still have feed? That's really complete with all the dried stuff. Do you have anything else?"

Chen Hui said, "Yes, restaurants, shopping malls, and hotels are opening soon, as well as pig farms and furniture factories. Which one do you want to do?"

Shunzi said to Liangzi, "Actually, going out and running around is quite nice, like a vacation. Isn't it better than staying at home lazing around?"

Chen Hui laughed and said, "You two are really something! Just pick whichever makes money!"

Xiao Wei said, "Both of them have the personalities to do sales. Selling houses should earn them more. Actually, you can make money selling anything as long as you do it well. It's all about commission; the better you sell, the higher your commission."

Shunzi said, "It's really just selling, what's the difference? Selling a bowl, a plate, animal feed, a house, a car, what's the difference? It's all about finding someone to sell it. I feel they're all the same."

Liangzi said, "How can they be the same? Selling houses isn't as prestigious as selling animal feed, is it?"

Xiao Wei said, "You two talk here, we're going back. We'll contact you when we get news."

Chen Hui laughed and said, "Where are you going to find someone then? Shout them all over the street? If you think it's okay, come over. Come to the office tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. You can run errands first and get familiar with things. Anyway, we're short-staffed. Go to HR and find Li Na to report for duty." He handed a business card to Shunzi.

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, then come on over and make the arrangements for yourselves."

Liangzi said, "There are quite a few people looking for work around here, about ten of them. Do you want them? If so, I'll bring them over for you tomorrow. They're all locals, they've all grown up here."

Chen Hui said, "Okay, bring them over so we can take a look. Let's make it clear first, they might not be able to take everything, and they have to follow instructions."
