"From your accent, you seem to be from Henan. Where are you from?"

"I'm from Xinxiang, Henan. My name is Chen Daheng. I'm 35 years old. I used to work in Luoyang. I was transferred to the Northeast last year. Everything here is good except that it's too cold."

"My hometown is Shandong, so we live quite close to each other. Where can I pay?"

Liu Xia Lian, holding a bag covered with three-color rainproof cloth, followed Chen Daheng to the finance office, where a middle-aged woman was in charge of collecting payments.

"Where's the money?"

"Here." Liu Xia Lian said as she opened the plastic bag. The money piled up on the table. Seven thousand and four was a huge pile. It was a formal state-owned enterprise, so there was no need to worry about them defaulting on the debt. She could just pay the full amount directly.

Chen Daheng originally wanted to ask whether he wanted a loan, but the words never came out of his mouth. With the other party's financial situation, he even used big bags to carry money. How could he be short of such a small amount of money?

"Are you driving it, or is there another driver? This car is somewhat different from the cars you have locally. There is space in the backyard. Let me explain it to you briefly."

"I'll drive it. I know how to drive a 50-meter tractor, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"That's easy, it's more of the same."

Chen Daheng took the two to the backyard and explained in detail.

The starting is still very advanced. Most of the time, it can be started by electric starting. If it is a loss of power or other reasons, it will not start, so you need to use the huge car key to start the ignition, that is, manual starting.

"Women have little strength, so be careful when using this crank to start the machine, and be sure not to hit your teeth."

"Don't worry, this problem doesn't exist with me. It's easy to handle."

Chen Daheng took Liu Xia Lian in the car to experience it and drove around the venue. The noise was not loud, at least not the kind that was unbearable.

Liu Xialian was familiar with the vehicle. After all, it was a farm vehicle, so it was not very fast. The empty vehicle could run at 35 kilometers per hour, but if it was fully loaded, it could only run at 25 kilometers per hour. If it was going uphill, it could only run at a speed of about 10 kilometers per hour. It was a bit slower, but the fuel consumption was lower than that of the 50-meter tractor. It consumed more than a dozen diesel per 100 kilometers, and could easily run 150 to 60 kilometers a day. Moreover, the single-cylinder engine had a characteristic: it was powerful, and the emission of black smoke was the beginning of its power. It was not a problem if the machine boiled over, and it could still run after changing the water.

The main feature is that it is durable and it screams when driving.

"Girl, what are you using this to pull?" Chen Daheng asked.

"Fruits, wild vegetables, pickles, etc."

"Fruits and wild vegetables are fine, but pickles must be placed in containers, not directly in the bed, as this can easily corrode the car body. If conditions permit, drive to a repair station for spraying paint once a year after three years. This is the maintenance manual, go back and take a good look at it, and if you have any problems, go to a repair station to have them fixed, don't come in to a small repair shop, as their skills are not up to par."

"Okay, no problem, I will pay attention to its maintenance. Then let's go back, remember to arrange someone to deliver the goods." Liu Xia Lian wrote a detailed address to Chen Daheng and left the phone number of the forest farm security department. She just needed to arrange for their people to deliver the goods to the forest farm security department, and she could drive the rest back by herself.

On the way back, Li Damei said, "Sister, teach me how to drive this four-wheeler when it arrives."

"Okay, no problem. Tractors are very noisy. I keep hearing them in my head after driving them all day. Why don't you learn to drive a jeep? I'll teach you."

"That's great. I'll learn both. The main thing is that I have to keep up with my sister and not fall behind. When the time comes, I'll be your driver wherever you go."

The two of them searched along the street for storefronts for sale, but they couldn't find any after searching for a long time. The main reason was that they were not familiar with the area. After all, real estate agencies were not well developed, and it would be difficult to find everything on their own.

When I was taking the bus and passing the boiler factory, I saw a newly built residential area. Although it was much worse than the downtown commercial area, there were quite a few people around.

Liu Xia Lian suggested: "Let's go down and take a look. I see there is a new residential area here. Maybe there are storefronts we can buy."

The two got off the bus and returned. The surrounding area was not very good. Next to it was the dormitory of the bearing factory, and the rest of the place was empty.

Damei shook her head: "There are quite a lot of people here, but unfortunately they are all riding bicycles. Look how fast they are walking."

"When buying a storefront, we look at the future prospects, not the present. We are in the long term, so we should first count how many buildings there are in this community."

The six-story building, made of reinforced concrete and red bricks, is a factory dormitory, so there are not many houses, only twelve. For a community with hundreds of households, there is certainly consumption capacity, but it is not enough to support a clothing and shoe store of 100 to 200 square meters.

However, this community was developed with great care, with a first-floor street-facing storefront and a dedicated two-story commercial building.

"Look, there is such a large vacant lot next to the bearing factory. I feel like they are going to build a residential area. The wasteland over there should be planned to be an office building, so this location is quite good."

Li Damei shook her head: "I feel like what you're talking about will probably take more than ten years to come."

"The pace of reform and opening up is unstoppable and so fast that it is hard to believe. Once a plan is made, it takes only three to five years to complete. Moreover, as a store in a provincial capital, it also serves as a display. It is only seven or eight kilometers away from the railway station and is accessible by bus, making it convenient to receive wholesale customers."

There was a banner hanging at the door of a basement store that read: "Boiler Factory Commercial Investment Consultation."

There are two bicycles parked at the door, I think they belong to the sales department.

Liu Xia Lian took Da Mei and they came to the sales office.

As expected, the place was deserted, with only two middle-aged men in their forties and a woman in her thirties eating melon seeds. They were usually factory logistics personnel temporarily seconded there.

The man frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Look at the house. Is there any larger business?"

"You're not from the boiler factory, are you? Takeout is very expensive, 300 yuan per square meter, and the smallest one is 60 square meters."

"As long as the house is suitable, the price is not a problem. The main thing is that your house is only half built. Will there be any delays in the future?"

"The construction was stopped because it was too cold last winter and not suitable for construction. The entire community is a dormitory for factory workers, and only a small part of it has been approved by the Housing Authority for export. So there will be no delays, and it will be completely completed in half a year at most."

"Then please take us to see the house. If it's suitable, we can book it today."

The middle-aged man said to the woman in her thirties, "Xiao Huang, go and show them around."

Xiao Huang was obviously not happy. In her opinion, it was impossible for these two girls to buy a house, not to mention that this was a storefront. How could they do business?

He immediately said, "If you want to sign the contract, you have to pay 5,000 yuan. Do you have the money?"

"I just bought a car, and now I have some money left in my bag, which should be enough." Liu Xia Lian opened the colorful bag, which contained more than ten bundles of Da Tuanjie. Each bundle was worth one thousand yuan, which seemed to be enough.
