Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Yeah, I just went to eat."

"Then you guys go quickly."

In the office, Director Zhang was still reading the newspaper and drinking tea. No wonder, although they were both in their fifties, the one sitting in the office looked very young, while the farmer looked so old.

"Director Zhang, we are here. We have considered the two sets we took this morning and will open up the storefront later."

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

Liu Xia Lian sincerely wants to buy, and the water plant also sincerely wants to sell. The dozens of extra houses are net profits, so the price can be negotiated.

Director Zhang has already sorted out the contract: "380 per square meter, this is the lowest price I can give you. If you want a lower price, you will have to go to the factory manager."

"No, it's 380. Director Zhang has to give us two small rooms. This is not out of the box, right?"

Director Zhang was too short of money to refuse the offer: "Okay, that's it. I'll give you two small rooms. They're not really useful, just to store some sundries."

Small houses these days are all on the ground, small red brick and cement bungalows, each only about 7 or 8 square meters, which is indeed useless, but when you apply for a property certificate later, you can get more compensation during demolition. Liu Xialian immediately bought two units, a total of 140 square meters, for 53,200 yuan, a 200 yuan discount, and signed a notarized contract. The property certificate was printed by the water plant dormitory itself, and it would take approval from the Housing Authority before the official property certificate could be replaced. During the whole process, the accountant aunt was so chatty that she asked, "Girl, you are only in your early twenties, auntie will introduce you to a partner."

"Ah, no, don't worry, he's still young."

"What are you going to do with these two houses? What kind of business are you going to open?"

“I plan to sell clothes and shoes.”

The accountant was speechless. In her opinion, when would she be able to earn back the money from selling clothes and shoes?

The formalities took more than an hour to complete. The keys of the two storefronts and two small houses were given to Liu Xialian, who then handed them to Li Damei. The houses were bought, but they were all simple rough houses. They had to wait until spring to be renovated. There was also a two-yuan garbage disposal fee every month, but there was also a huge benefit, which was that water was half-price. Other communities used tap water at 20 cents per cubic meter, but here it was only 8 cents. For normal people, 40 to 50 cents a month was enough for domestic water. You have to know that the water in the water plant is basically pumped from the lake, which is simply filtered. When it rains heavily in summer, the water is turbid.

"Damei, keep the key. We can renovate after the New Year. It's too cold to do any work now."

Li Damei was also worried: "A shop can only make a profit of 1,000 yuan a month. It will take five or six years to make back the money spent on the house. Don't blame me if the business doesn't go well."

"Don't worry, this is a prosperous area in the county town. Moreover, our shop is not just for retail sales, but also wholesale to other small shops. The net profit of a month cannot be only one thousand. From the current perspective, it is definitely a loss, but it won't take too long. In ten years, the monthly rent of these two shops will be more than two thousand.

After leaving the water plant dormitory, the two men came to the materials company. The materials company sold a two-story pure storefront building, which was a self-built building of the company.

There was only one middle-aged man in the huge office, wearing a jacket, sitting there smoking.

Liu Xia Lian knocked on the door and said, "Hello, how much is the second-floor storefront on the street for?"

"Come in and sit down." The middle-aged man dusted off the chairs for the two of them.

"What's your name?" Liu Xia Lian asked.

"My last name is Jia, and I'm the office manager. The storefront is quite large, with the first and second floors connected. There's also a firewood room, a kitchen, and a bathroom in the back. Together, the price is 90,000 yuan. I can't get a property certificate for now, but don't worry, the credit of a large company like the Materials Company is totally fine."

"Let's look at the house first."

Director Jia was a little hesitant. Liu Xia Lian casually waved the contract for the water plant dormitory and said, "I'm exhausted today. I bought two sets in the morning and I have to buy another one in the afternoon."

Director Jia dared not neglect it when he saw this, and immediately took the key and showed it to him.

The store of the materials company is also an unfinished building with a frame brick-concrete structure. The first floor is 140 square meters and the second floor is 140 square meters. It has water and electricity and is connected by a staircase in the middle.

“I don’t know what you bought this for?

"I opened a restaurant and made iron pot stew. The main reason I saw this was because of the large area. But the price is really expensive. Do you have any more?"

"If you take out a loan, I can give you a discount of 3,000 yuan. If you pay in full, the maximum discount is 1,000 yuan."

The loans these days are not home loans, but mortgage loans with annual interest rates as high as more than 10%. It is estimated that banks will give rebates, so the loans are said to be preferential.

"No need for a loan, just pay in cash, 87,000, sign the contract today."

Director Jia said, "I'm going to discuss this with the general manager. You stay later."

The material company is different from the supply and marketing cooperative, but it is also a large state-owned enterprise. It has branches in every county and district, responsible for the distribution, transportation, and storage of important materials. After a while, Director Jia came back and said, "Okay, that's it. Pay 30,000 first, and pay the balance after the new year."

"why?"

"The government's paperwork hasn't been completed, but don't worry, it will be completed."

"Okay then, let's sign the contract."

Liu Xialian remembered that this shop was still there until about 10 years ago, so there was no need to worry too much. The main thing was that the price was cheap, about yuan per square meter, which was still acceptable.

I signed the contract and paid 30,000 yuan immediately. I got the key and the balance will be paid after the new year. This small building is really nice, with more than 280 square meters. It is decorated in a very high-end style. There are seats on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. A color steel shed can be built on the roof to be used as a utility room. It is suitable no matter how you think about it.

Li Damei was a little worried: "Sister, I see you spend money without blinking an eye. The investment in opening a store is too huge. I don't know when I can get my money back. If you don't save this little money, how will you celebrate the New Year?"

As I was talking, I saw many more students on the road, some carrying bedding bags, and some riding bicycles with bedding loaded.

"It's vacation time. Students have their vacation time really early these days."

It’s only the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month and we have a holiday. It’s great, not a bit of a stretch.

"Let's go see if Jingwen and Dongxue are on vacation. If you see them, don't mention buying a house. Young people can't resist the temptation of money and will stop studying hard."

"Understood. Don't worry, I won't mention it."

The four of them got on the mule cart and arrived at the entrance of the high school. As expected, they saw Liu Jingwen and Liu Dongxue carrying large bags and preparing to go to the station. "Sister, are you here to pick us up?"

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "Really not. We are here to sell fish. We saw that the students were on holiday, so we came to take a look. You two should take the bus to the forest farm. There is a large water tank on the carriage and there is no room for you."
