"Exactly! Demolition, the village will be torn down and then small apartnt complexes will be built in the town, everyone will live in buildings!"
Zhang Guofu frowned slightly: "This rumor has been going around for many years, but it hasn't co true. Who knows if it's real or fake! But buying old houses as housing plots isn't a loss either!
I asked the village secretary about it during the New Year's alcohol drinking session, it's now very difficult to get approval for housing plots, and the price isn't lower than buying an old house!
If you have an old house, you just need to make arrangents with the town, building a new house is still feasible! It would take at most half a month to get the beams up and the main structure standing!"
Zhang Yang nodded: "Then let's do it that way! After dinner, I'll go talk to my uncle!"
"Alright, you go once, if he doesn't agree, I'll step in!"
"Don't worry, I've got this! A nod from him will imdiately yield benefits, my uncle won't refuse!"
...
On the night after the family eting discussion ended, Zhang Yang brought two bottles of wine to Zhang Junsheng's house after dinner, around eight o'clock.
"Oh, Zhang Yang is here, have you eaten? Quickly, co inside and sit!" It was Zhang Junsheng's wife who opened the door, and when she saw Zhang Yang, she hurriedly took the wine from his hands and led him into the main living room.
"Auntie, is my uncle ho? I need to talk to him about sothing."
"He's here, he's here! Just finished eating inside!"
Zhang Yang was let into the living room, where Zhang Junsheng was indeed at ho.
Seeing Zhang Yang's visit, Zhang Junsheng maintained a calm expression, but internally had already begun speculating the reasons for his visit.
If an uncle were to compete with his nephew for business in a community with strong clan values, it wouldn't be considered honorable. Zhang Yang bringing wine over, could it be he's here to confront him?
"Sit down, have you had dinner? If not, I'll have your aunt prepare sothing for you!" Zhang Junsheng stood up to invite him.
"No need to bother, I've eaten before coming! I'll get straight to the point, I'm here to discuss sothing with you today!"
"What matter requires a special trip? Why not say it over the phone!" Zhang Junsheng's wife spoke candidly.
"To be precise, it's two things, but they can be discussed together! I'll be direct!
The first thing is about selling boxed als by the Wen River!
I started it because so fishing friends encouraged , it makes so money but it's not as professional as my uncle! So I'm thinking, if my uncle could handle the delivery part, then I wouldn't sell it anymore!
I have a group with over a hundred fisher friends ordering als daily, my uncle can give few dollars commission per order, the bulk is yours! Once my uncle is familiar with the custors, I won't ask for commission anymore!
The second thing is about my family planning to build a new house. The secretary said housing plots are difficult to approve, so my family wonders if we can discuss buying your old house!
Originally my dad wanted to co personally, but my mom and I stopped him; he's short-tempered and thin-skinned, not suitable for negotiation, so I bit the bullet and ca over!"
Listening to Zhang Yang's two matters, Zhang Junsheng and his wife Chen Cuihua exchanged a glance, both seeing the fullness of joy in each other's eyes.
Why is there joy? It's simple, Zhang Guofu indeed has a bad temper, if things got serious and there was a quarrel, Zhang Junsheng would definitely be at fault for competing with his nephew, and it wouldn't look good among the villagers.
But now Zhang Yang has taken a step back voluntarily, which eliminates the issue of competing, maintaining face.
The second point, this old house was actually the ho of Zhang Junsheng's late mother, who passed away four or five years ago. The house has been vacant.
Though the area isn't small, it has long been in disrepair, and neither the main house nor the side house is habitable. Zhang Junsheng's family currently lives in a newly built house from a few years ago, which has eight rooms for both the son's wedding and their own living, completely spacious.
Recently, Zhang Junsheng even entrusted soone to sell the house but hadn't found a suitable buyer. Now the nephew from the family is coming to buy it, it's like getting a pillow right when you want to sleep, even though a script couldn't make this up.
"Your dad agrees with these two matters?"
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, he'd definitely agree. Without his nod, I wouldn't have the funds!"
"Just the other day I asked a friend to help inquire about selling this old house, since you want to use it to build a new house, I'll prioritize you! The previous asking price was forty-five thousand, but for family, I as the uncle will lower it by two thousand, making it forty-three thousand!
Give the ssage to your dad, if he agrees, then let's find a diator and witnesses to complete the procedures!
If you don't want to handle the delivery anymore, I'll take over, ensuring the quality and quantity of the boxed als! For normal orders, I'll give you a three-dollar commission! Large orders, 15%, settled weekly! Do you agree?"
"Agree, let's do it!"
...
On that sa night, within less than an hour, Zhang Yang swiftly and neatly finalized the two matters!
An old house with five main rooms, three side rooms, and a yard, forty-three thousand is indeed not expensive.
The day after negotiating this matter, Zhang Guofu found village officials and elder witnesses to docunt the transactions and relevant procedures, the house was acquired, with clear ownership, just waiting to profit from future demolition.
The takeaway matter was handed over to Zhang Junsheng, freeing up Zhang Yang's ti.
At night, the next day's takeaway selections were posted in the al-ordering group, the orders were summarized and sent to Zhang Junsheng; the next day at noon, Zhang Junsheng delivered the als directly to the fisher friends, greatly saving Zhang Yang's ti.
Over the following month or so, Zhang Yang was almost constantly at the Wen River waters, from Southeast Embanknt to the downstream rubber dam, you could see Zhang Yang fishing by the water everywhere.
Long periods at the Wen River allow Zhang Yang to thoroughly understand the fish conditions and water conditions, fishing friends who aren't familiar with Wen River fish conditions rely need to ask Zhang Yang in the QQ group for general insights, obtaining real-ti fish condition information in advance.
Because Zhang Yang is good-natured and easy to talk to, he turned the initially acquainted group of fisher friends into well-connected familiar friends.
Though Zhang Yang outsourced the takeaway business, his inco hadn't diminished much.
Daily, there are dozens of takeaways, sotis even large orders, averaging out to over a hundred-dollar commission per day, higher than the ordinary work inco.
Adding the stable sale of rice for making wine and the fish he caught was sold at the night market, Zhang Yang's personal savings steadily increased.
After more than two months of effort, Zhang Yang had saved twenty-four thousand yuan.
With the spring carp spawning period ending, the carp situation in the Wen River deteriorated, Zhang Yang knew it was ti to implent the second phase plan.
He had the custor base, the seed capital, the next step was to open a store.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yang spent the following days cycling around the town's streets.
The town had only two comrcial streets, it wasn't the beginning or end of the year, so finding a suitable house to rent was truly difficult.
Zhang Yang wandered around the streets for two days, not finding any suitable house, either the rent was too high, or the location was poor.
This weekend, after lunch, Zhang Yang rode his bike to the town's comrcial street again.
While leisurely wandering, he suddenly heard the sound of an argunt nearby.
