Xie Zhiyao ran to a construction site in the village in a panic. The boss here was brought over by Huang Xinxin before, and he invested money to open a B&B in the village. He thought that he could live by himself and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers, and it could also be considered an investment. .
It had always been good before, but in the past month or so, the workers in the village have not been paid. Today, the workers quit and gathered together to surround Huang Xinxin, clamoring for wages. If they don't pay, they will destroy the building. Some of the structures that were put up were demolished.
These people were all arranged by Xie Zhiyao. After all, they were working in front of their homes. No one wanted to go that far unless they could go out. Now that their wages are being owed, Xie Zhiyao of course wants to give an explanation.
Of course Xie Zhiyao was well-known in the village. Before he came back, he was the most promising person in the village. He was admitted to a key university and worked in the capital. Now that he has returned to the village and taken over so many money-losing industries, the villagers laugh at him, but some people also respect him, and it can be seen that he really wants to make the village better.
So Xie Zhiyao came to the construction site, talked earnestly, presented facts and reasons, and came up with solutions, finally appeasing these brothers, brothers, uncles and uncles.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Huang Xinxin let out a long breath: "You don't know, they are talking to themselves and don't listen to what I say at all, just two words, give me money. What I said is that my mouth is dry, My throat is almost smoking. Let’s go and buy a bottle of water.”
While talking, she pulled Xie Zhiyao towards the outside of the construction site.
Xie Zhiyao frowned and asked, "What's going on with this boss?"
"I don't know either. I called him before and said he was raising money. You have seen this boss before. He is not short of money. He opened this B&B because he was tired of big cities and wanted to find us. Enjoy life in such a place with beautiful scenery and a good climate. I don’t know what’s wrong now. I haven’t been paid for almost two months. Not to mention the people who work in our village, I’m worried.”
"Didn't say anything else?"
"I didn't say anything. I guess something happened. Otherwise, this B&B is half-built, and the rent has been paid for five years in one go. Now it's still hundreds of thousands. It's impossible for him to run away. How stupid is that? If we can’t continue doing this, why don’t we move this place out anyway? This is all money.”
"It's not like you don't know how our place has improved so much? Who will take over..." Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huang Xinxin, "Do you think Teacher Wang can do it?"
Huang Xinxin was also stunned: "Ask me, when he came, didn't he just say that he was tired from running around and wanted to find a place to retire? He has been in our village for more than a month, and he even shot a promotional video for us about history, culture, customs, and culture. After understanding everything about human relations, you should have made a decision on whether to invest, right? He is not short of money. He has not seen anything yet, so he can invest one million for Mr. Ma. We don’t have that much investment in this B&B. .”
Xie Zhiyao thought for a moment and nodded: "In this case, you first call the boss and ask him if he still wants to do it and whether he can do it. Let's go to Teacher Wang and ask him to see what he is doing. What's the plan? Next, let's go to the nearby construction sites to see if there are any people who want day laborers, and make arrangements for them. There are so many people who can't be idle. If we can't make money, we can't be given to them. have eaten?"
"I'll call him right now and ask him what his plans are."
While talking, Huang Xinxin didn't care whether there was smoke in her throat or not, she quickly took out her mobile phone and called the owner of the B&B.
This time the boss didn't hide it, and roughly explained the reason. His wife had bone cancer, his relatives were seriously ill, and they were even admitted to the ICU. He was spending money like water, and he really couldn't bear it recently. Now Huang Xinxin took the initiative to ask if she wanted to change hands, and the boss didn't hesitate. But he also knew that things were not going to get better here, so he didn't force it. If he could, he would change his hands. If he couldn't, he would stop work first. After a while, the situation there would be stable. Let’s talk later. He also said that he would try to collect the wages as much as possible and wait for another ten days and a half.
After a tragic encounter, she had a good attitude and full sincerity. Huang Xinxin just cried and wiped away her tears after hanging up the phone. Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh. Hearing other people's misfortunes always makes him feel a little sad.
When the two of them arrived at the small courtyard, one was silent and the other had red and swollen eyes...
Wang Yan was sitting at the long dining table in the kitchen editing a video. After a month of filming, the inside and outside of Yunmiao Village had been photographed, even the fruit trees on the mountain.
This was also a very enjoyable month. As he said, it was really about eating, drinking and having fun, all at Xie Zhiyao's own expense, and he didn't even pay the village committee's account. He took Xu Hongdou with him for continuous shooting and experience, which was very enjoyable. Xu Hongdou was still thinking about her relatives thousands of miles away, as well as Chen Nanxing's parents. Just like in the original drama, she had to pay for anything to eat and drink and send express delivery at her own expense.
So now it’s time for post-production editing, rendering, soundtrack and other work. In response to the unanimous request of Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin, we only slightly render it without over-beautifying it, and try to keep the original flavor of Yunmiao Village, otherwise tourists will not see anything right when they come. , that would be bad...
Looking at the two of them, Wang Yanqi said: "Looking at you two like this, what is going on? Is it related to me?"
Xie Zhiyao nodded and shook his head and said, "Teacher Wang, how long will it take to finish editing?"
"Three or four days, it's only a few tens of seconds, and there are still three or two minutes of video that I can give you now. I've already cut out a few of them, and they are all separate, including scenery, food, and so on."
"Oh, I'll ask my staff to come over in the afternoon, and you can communicate with them. Oh, by the way, where are Damai and Hongdou? I know Nana took leave today. Did they go out to play together?"
"I went shopping in the city." Wang Yan nodded and looked at what else he could say.
Xie Zhiyao was really speechless, and his mood was obviously not that high. He continued: "Teacher Wang, you said before that you had the idea of investing. You helped us shoot a promotional video and visited every corner of Yunmiao Village. I guess not None of our local villagers know the details as you do, so I wonder what your plan is?"
Wang Yan glanced at the two of them and nodded clearly: "The B&B under construction in the village can no longer operate. Do you want me to take over?"
"Awesome, you guessed it before we even said it." Huang Xinxin, with red eyes, spoke directly, "It's like this, the owner of the B&B has something going on, and he can't turn around the funds, so he plans to change hands. It's just right. Don’t you have the idea of investing? The main structure of this B&B is basically completed. It will be completed in another month, and you can start decorating directly. Moreover, this boss originally found a designer friend and made a complete design, drawings and so on I can give you everything, which saves a lot of trouble, doesn't it? It's really a good deal, Teacher Wang, would you consider it?"
"I am very confident in the promotional video I edited. As long as your copywriting is not too bad and the voice actors are of average quality, it will definitely be effective after it is sent out. If you are willing to spend your own money for marketing, the effect will definitely be better. , Yunmiao Village will definitely have more tourists in the future than now. I heard you say a while ago that you want to find that Shaohua Bookstore to invest in and open a store. If it succeeds, it can also play a positive role in promoting. By then, this The prices of B&Bs are different.
So I think you should communicate with the people in the village to see if they want to take it over. If no one wants it, I can pay to take it over. I don't want to conflict with your villagers, I don't want any of this nonsense. "
Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, figured out the relationship, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Wang, you are really thinking too far. I feel that you are more confident than us. The investment in Shaohua Bookstore is currently just in contact. Details It’s still not certain. As for the promotional video, of course we believe in your photography skills, but we don’t have the ability to market it. We can only post it online for natural fermentation. How effective will it be and how many tourists can it attract? Unknown.
To be honest, in the past few years since I came back, I haven’t heard anything good from them. Whether it's a racecourse, a small courtyard or a small restaurant, I only take over it when no one wants it. Now they won't want this B&B anymore, they will only make more sarcastic remarks. People all want to get rich. If it is like what you said, there will definitely be trouble in the village for a while, but don’t worry, Teacher Wang, if someone really makes trouble with you, it will all be blamed on me, and I will solve it. "
Of course Wang Yan knew these things, he just said it first. He really didn't like to waste words with those people. Because they actually knew what was going on, but they still wanted to make a fuss. Now that Xie Zhiyao says this, that’s fine.
He nodded: "Then call someone over to talk about money."
Huang Xinxin shook her head and said: "No, we can make the decision. The boss has already told us the price. Counting five years of rent, building materials, labor costs, etc., the total cost so far is 430,000, because He was in a hurry for money, and our place was not in a good situation, so he wiped out the 30,000 yuan, and only needed 400,000 yuan to make it up. Oh, by the way, the house has a twenty-year contract, and the payment will be made every five years, and according to the actual situation Increase the rent. Mr. Wang, what do you think of this price? This is really the lowest price. If it is any lower, he will stop working and not sell it for the time being."
Wang Yan took a look at that bed and breakfast when he passed by it. It was located in the southernmost part of the village, with no obstructions and a wide view. It also covered an area much larger than that of Fengfeng Xiaoyuan. The overall architectural form is that of Bai folk houses, but with slight modifications. It consists of two two-story buildings, one large and one small, and two one-story wing rooms, surrounded on all sides, with a fairly large courtyard in the center. The large two-story building is estimated to have ten or eight guest rooms, while the smaller building should be the living space for the owner.
Now we have just completed the big frame. If we want to complete it completely, including decoration, I am afraid it will cost five to six hundred thousand. If the decoration is better, we will have to spend a lot more money. The overall cost is about the same. More than one million. Of course, the money can be used to open a store near Erhai Lake, but because the area here is larger, the decoration is better, and the living experience is better, but the life is not very convenient and cannot be compared to the city.
If the situation is good, it will take about four to five years to recover the investment; if the situation is not good, it will take five, six, seven or eight years. But the current boss wants to enjoy life. Whether he makes money or not is obviously not too important. As long as he doesn't pay compensation, he wouldn't think of building a B&B in Yunmiao Village. Maybe it's because the picture has beautiful scenery and is quite clean at the same time.
Of course Wang Yan knew the situation of this boss, but the time in this drama was not very accurate. He knew it when he saw Huang Xinxin's eyes red from crying when he mentioned investment.
In fact, he originally planned to take over this B&B. First of all, since everyone is here, let’s have some fun. Secondly, this can be regarded as a connection with Damai. After all, it is the mission goal. If he leaves, people from all over the world will just leave after chatting. Besides, since he was dating Xu Hongdou, he couldn't always chat with others, and they couldn't always chat with him...
Wang Yan nodded: "I can tell by the way you wipe your tears that the experience of this B&B owner is not very good. I won't lower the price. That's all. Let him come over as soon as possible. It will be done quickly and quickly."
Huang Xinxin clapped her hands happily: "Okay, I'll call him right now."
As soon as they said it was done, the two went out to make phone calls. After a while, Xie Zhiyao came back and said, "He will come over next week to take over. Teacher Wang, can we discuss something first?"
"Tell me."
"That's it. This boss, due to funding problems, has not paid wages to the workers in our village for almost two months. Do you think this will work? You can pay the wages first. At the same time, don't stop work on this construction site. Keep working. This way you can finish the job as soon as possible. A lot of things can be done in one week."
Seeing Wang Yan smiling and not saying anything, Xie Zhiyao continued, "In fact, those workers are all from the village. They have been a family for several generations. I asked them to stay at home and work. Now they have stopped working. Your livelihood will also be affected. But don't worry, Teacher Wang, I won't let you suffer. I will guarantee it and we will implement it in black and white. If the B&B owner breaks the contract, then the wages you paid in advance, as well as the labor and material costs of starting the construction in advance , it’s all on me.”
"You've said so, so what's wrong? Do you have the details of this work? Don't let anything messy happen again."
"Everything is available. Don't worry, Teacher Wang, it will definitely be accurate."
"That's ok, wait, I'll get pen and paper, sign the contract and pay them directly. You contact the workers in the village and ask them to come to the construction site. I don't have cash in my hand. Weixin scans the QR code to pay."
"Okay, I'll make a call right now."
Xie Zhiyao happily took out the contact on his mobile phone. He was very happy and solved the matter easily. Everyone was happy. Moreover, Wang Yan is more powerful, so it is obviously better for them here.
Soon, Wang Yan signed a contract with Xie Zhiyao, and Huang Xinxin served as a witness. He even recorded the video with his mobile phone. He did it very thoroughly in order to completely reassure Wang Yan.
After signing the contract, the three of them set off to the construction site of the B&B. Workers from the village lined up and he scanned the QR code one by one to pay. There are a total of sixteen workers working here. The wages vary according to different types of work. The average wage is about two hundred per person, but they don't have to take care of lunch at noon.
After paying the wages, the workers were dismissed directly. They would rest today and come back tomorrow. The two leaders were left behind. Wang Yan asked them for the drawings, looked at the completed parts in detail, and made some changes to the building. He is a master of architectural design. It’s okay if he doesn’t build a house. If he does build a house, he will still be somewhat obsessive. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have learned in vain before?
I basically did nothing this afternoon except to change the original design, and I also had to explain to the two leading workers how to change it. Both of them are veteran workers who can read pictures, so it’s not a problem for them to talk about it and they can understand it.
Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin had been accompanying him all the time, helping to make suggestions, and Wang Yan refused to leave. But they didn't expect that Wang Yan could also do architectural design.
Finally, the architectural design process was completely completed, and it was confirmed that everything could be implemented and completed. The two leaders accepted another two hundred red envelopes from Wang Yan and returned home happily. When the work is bigger and more done, of course I feel happy.
"Teacher Wang, if you renovate the building, the cost will be higher. You also know the situation in Yunmiao Village. I'm afraid you will lose money." Xie Zhiyao told the truth, but still wanted to persuade him.
Huang Xinxin nodded fiercely: "No, Teacher Wang, would you please consider it more carefully?"
"No, I've opened a B&B in your Yunmiao Village. Do you think I want to make money? After my changes, the view of this two-story self-occupied building is better and the living is more comfortable. At the same time, the guest rooms are also on the same floor. We try our best to take into account the light and view, and it also looks more beautiful on the outside. It is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to live in. This is enough. It doesn’t matter whether you pay or not.”
Wang Yan spoke lightly and regarded money as dung.
"Okay, then we won't say more. But Teacher Wang, you can rest assured about the construction materials and future decoration materials. One is my junior high school classmate and the other is my high school classmate. They are both very close to each other and the price is absolutely right." Fair and quality guaranteed. Again, if anything goes wrong, just come to me."
Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands: "It's time to have dinner. Teacher Wang, let's go to Gesanghua. I'll treat you to dinner."
"Forget it, we can eat at any time. I have already made an agreement with them before. They will bring some snacks back, and I will go to Gesanghua's to pack eight large bowls, and we will have a sumptuous meal together in the evening."
"Is there any event?"
"It's Damai's birthday, and Nana said she wanted to give him a surprise."
Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands: "Oh, as a homeowner, I have to participate in such a good thing. Let's buy some more vegetables and let's celebrate Damai's birthday together. Xinxin called Xiaochun and asked her to prepare longevity noodles. Let's go to Gesanghua together and buy some more wine. Damai celebrates his birthday and Teacher Wang invests in Yunmiao Village. This is a double happiness. Teacher Wang, let's have a good drink tonight."
"Okay, let's go then..."
