"Hi!" The old man shook his head and waved nonchalantly, "I thought you had no money, you scared me!"
In his opinion, five hundred guan is a huge amount of money, even if it is to build a workshop, it is enough, and there will be some leftover.
A sneer appeared on Shi Qiang's lips, he looked at his father and asked, "Dad, do you know how much it costs to build a workshop?"
"How much do you want? Five hundred strings can't be enough, right?" Dad was stunned and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Shi Qiang's next words made his heart sink into the bottomless abyss.
"A workshop, even a small one, requires at least five or six acres of land. Does our family have land in the capital? No! If you want to build a workshop, you must buy land. You also know that land is now available The price. How much will it cost just for these lands?”
Not only is rice expensive in the capital, land is even more expensive!
Since Handu built the racecourse, the land prices around the racecourse have skyrocketed, and the land prices around the entire capital have also increased a lot.
As for the land around the Shi family, before the price increase, it was only twenty or thirty dollars per acre. But now, without a hundred and eighty strings, no one is willing to bargain with you.
Five hundred dollars seems like a lot, but it is only enough to buy land.
"Building a workshop requires more than just land. We also need to build a workshop house. Five hundred guan is not enough!"
Shi Qiang sighed, and then looked at his father expectantly.
"You..." Feeling a little guilty when his son saw him, the father quickly waved his hand and looked away, saying: "Don't look at me, I have no money!"
Since there is no chance for his father, Shi Qiang turns his attention to several brothers
On the body.
He said with a smile: "Eldest brother, second brother, and youngest brother, aren't you inciting dad to build a workshop? Even if you let me part ways with the machinery workshop, you won't hesitate. Now that I have left the workshop, my monthly salary is gone. It's up to you. I want to build a workshop, but I don’t have enough money. You see..."
The three of them were overwhelmed by Shi Qiang's words. After looking at each other, they still pushed the boss out to deal with Shi Qiang.
"Third brother... don't look at me! I just do some briquette business and barely support my family. Where can I get the money?"
No money? Why are you so active in teasing dad when you don't have money? Now I have to spend money, but I say I have no money.
Shi Qiang said nothing and looked at his second brother.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the second brother reluctantly laughed twice and whispered: "I didn't expect to buy so much land to build a workshop, and the land in the capital is too expensive. In my hometown, there are five hectares and ten hectares per acre." Buy whatever you want. Otherwise, just move the workshop to your hometown..."
When the old man heard it, he felt as if he had picked up a gold ingot. He grinned and said loudly: "Yes, third child. Since the land price in the capital is so expensive, let's just go back to our hometown. If we go back to our hometown to build a workshop, five hundred yuan is more than enough." !”
Shi Qiang's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but thought to himself: It's more than enough to build a workshop in my hometown, but who will sell the things made? Do we still have to make things and then transport them to the capital with all the trouble?
"If you want to go home, then you can go back. Anyway, I want to stay in the capital and won't go back."
Shi Qiang's attitude was firm.
In fact, several people are reluctant to part with the prosperity of this capital. What they just said is just
There is no other way.
Now seeing Shi Qiang's attitude, everyone thought he had a solution.
"Third brother, if you have something to say, just say it!" Finally, the old man came forward.
Shi Qiang nodded and directly showed his cards: "I have calculated that buying land, building a house, plus the materials and sundries that need to be purchased will cost at least 1,200 guan! Now there is still 700 guan left."
Seven hundred strings!
The eldest, second, and youngest three took a deep breath and quickly turned their heads away, fearing that Shi Qiang would catch him.
With so much money, even if we sell them all, it won't be enough!
The old man knocked twice on the table, attracting everyone's attention.
"Sanwazi, you have read a lot of books and you are the most capable. You should be able to think of a solution, right?"
After hearing what their father said, the three brothers, the eldest, second and youngest, all looked at Shi Qiang.
"Dad is right! Third child, you are the most capable among our brothers. So when it comes to money... you still have to figure it out..."
Shi Qiang looked at the way his elder brother was talking and felt angry in his heart. What does it mean that I am the most capable and you just let me figure it out? If it's something I can't do, do I still have to blame it on me?
But this was his biological eldest brother after all, and he had supported him in his studies, so Shi Qiang had no choice but to suppress his anger.
He took his eyes away from his elder brother, looked at the room, and sighed: "I can't conjure silver out of thin air. What can I do?"
"Sanwazi, don't say such things!" Dad suddenly became anxious. Building the workshop had become a worry in his heart. How could he be willing to do it if it couldn't be built?
Besides, he forced his son to join the machine shop
I quit all my errands. If the dream of building a workshop is shattered now, wouldn’t it mean that everything is lost?
Shi Qiang looked into his father's eyes quietly and said expressionlessly: "There is only one way now."
"What method? Sanwazi, please tell me quickly. No matter what method we use, we will listen to you!" At this moment, Dad seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He didn't even ask clearly about the method, so he decided directly.
"Sell this house!"
"What did you say, sold the house?" Dad asked dully, still holding on to a trace of fantasy in his heart, hoping that he had heard wrongly and that Shi Qiang didn't mean this.
"I originally bought this house for 300 guan. The price of houses in the capital has also increased a lot in the past few years. The current market price should be around 1,000 guan."
"Of course, we are in a hurry for money, so we will definitely not sell it for such a high price. But it can still be sold for eight or nine hundred yuan..."
"No! Absolutely not!" The old man was angry. Before Shi Qiang could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted, "If you sell the house, where will our whole family live? Do you think that at my age? Sleep in the wilderness?"
When they heard that Shi Qiang planned to sell the house, everyone panicked!
The whole family only has a house like this. If it is sold without even a place to stand, we will really have to sleep in the wilderness like my father said!
"Third brother, you can't sell it. The house can't be sold!" The boss's mouth went dry for a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips trembled.
He could not imagine how he would deal with his wife and children if this house was sold.
"Not selling? Then where are we going to raise 700 yuan? Is the workshop not going to be built?" Shi Qiang said
After finishing, he couldn't help but sigh heartbrokenly: "I already hate the mechanical workshop, and my monthly salary is gone. If we don't build the workshop, although we still have some money now, we will be sitting on nothing! Sooner or later, we will be clean. What should we do?"
