Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 737 Valuable Ideas

I took Mama Zhang back to the villa and told her to rest assured that everything was settled, the house was never sold to anyone, and I told her to live in peace of mind, and if anyone troubled her, she would go to the traffic lights.After finding out the address of Sister Pu Gexue, I said goodbye to Zhang Ma.

When passing by the rice fields, I happened to see a group of people holding blueprints and pointing in the rice fields.

I saw their car parked on the side of the road, with the sign of Lushuiyuan written on the door.

I suddenly thought of something, so I said to A Liao: "Don't go, go to the traffic lights, I have something to ask them."

When the car arrived at the traffic light house, it knocked on the door for a long time before the red hair opened the door angrily. When it saw me, it immediately greeted it with a smile: "I thought you were gone! Why are you back? We are rehearsing, you It’s just right here, help us listen!”

A Liao and I walked to their rehearsal room, and a bearded man stood in front, with his hands on his chest, saw me coming in and hurriedly complained to me: "Mr. Chen, what kind of job are you looking for me? How can I teach this?"

I smiled, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I give you any money? Or is there not enough money? For the sake of money, you don't teach, but there are so many people rushing to teach!"

The bearded man smiled embarrassedly, and then shouted loudly: "Do it again! Ah, drummers, don't make too many extra movements, this is not a performance, you can play well first, and then practice those fancy skills ?And you, do you look like a duck’s paw? No splits? Chords, do you understand the chords? You don’t want to strum the strings, and you don’t strum the strings like that! You, I don’t even bother to talk about it. Do you sing? Smokey voice doesn’t sing with your throat, if you sing a song like this, you have to die!”

I'm sweating for the bearded man, I won't be beaten to death if I'm not careful!

But it was different from what I imagined, the three of them were obedient, like elementary school students, and practiced according to the bearded words seriously.

After a long, painful ordeal, I finally waited until they finished rehearsing.

I went out to the living room and sat down. I asked Lan Mao, "Is your village going to sell land soon?"

Lan Mao didn't know why I asked this, took a sip of water, nodded casually and said: "Yes, there is no one planting the fields now, my father said that if anyone wants to sell it, it's useless to keep it anyway! Sooner or later here It has to become a jungle of steel and concrete."

I smiled and said, "Your dad speaks very poetically! Do you know who wants to buy it?"

Lan Mao scratched his head and said: "I don't know, I don't even ask, and it has nothing to do with me. It's also the village's money if you sell it, so everyone will share it!"

I asked again: "Do you know who bought it? Your land is agricultural land, right? Are they homesteads?"

Lan Mao shook his head, I looked at Red Mao and Yellow Mao, and they both shook their heads in the same way.I knew it was useless to ask, so I said, "Who is in charge of this matter? Can you send me a message so I can understand it!"

Lan Mao patted his chest and said: "It's no problem, it's all my dad and my little mom are dealing with, you can go to them directly, I'll just make a phone call!"

After I saw Lanmao's biological father and stepmother, there was a big contrast with the image I imagined.

In my mind, Lan Mao's father is a middle-aged greasy uncle similar to his second uncle, wearing flip flops, gray and black shorts, a white shirt and a bald head. His stepmother must be a beautiful, young and beautiful young woman.

But in fact, Lan Mao's father is an extremely decent and handsome young man.Black shiny leather shoes, well-fitting trousers, a snow-white shirt, and a head of thick black hair. His facial features are also very correct, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose bridge, thick lips, and no frown on his face.

Lanmao's stepmother is just the opposite, sloppy, with a cartoon hairpin that doesn't fit her age on top of her fluffy hair; she has a bloated figure, wears a floral dress, looks like a pregnant woman, and has a mouth With a cigarette in her mouth, she is just like the boss lady in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu".

Lan Mao's father greeted me very politely and said: "I heard from my boss that you have helped him a lot. My name is Huang Zilong and I am the party secretary of this village. If you need my help, just tell me! "

I smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you about the land use in your village. I'm also working on some real estate projects, and I'm interested in several pieces of land in your village, so Come and ask."

Lan Mao's father raised his forehead and said: "This matter, let me show you the planning map of our village." After finishing speaking, he went to get the blueprint.

Lan Mao's stepmother stared at me and asked, "Which real estate company do you belong to?"

I replied flatly: "Wanzhong Real Estate."

Lanmao's stepmother said disdainfully: "Wanzhong? Isn't it an air conditioner? I haven't heard of it. You also do real estate?"

I smiled and said: "We have been engaged in real estate projects for a long time, but it is not our main business. Currently, we only have projects near the Pearl River Delta."

Lan Mao's stepmother let out an oh and stopped talking.

Lanmao's father brought a large roll of blueprints, spread them out on the table, and pointed them out to me: "Here, here, and here are the lands that we plan to sell the right to use, and this place has been seen by Lushuiyuan." I hit it, and I’m still surveying the terrain and conditions.”

I asked curiously: "You should all have homesteads here, right? Can you sell the land directly? Shouldn't the state expropriate it uniformly and then determine the use of the land?"

Lanmao's father looked at me, nodded and said, "That's the case in theory, but we can lease the land. We don't care what they do, as long as they don't build a chemical plant. The more buildings here More, the more prosperous our place is, anyway, it is good for us, we have no reason not to rent it, right?"

I hummed, and asked again: "Then, do all the residents here agree with you?"

Lan Mao's stepmother replied impatiently: "Of course I agree, you don't have to worry about it, we are only willing to let you see the blueprint for the sake of our boss, do you want to buy land, or just ask News?"

Lan Mao's father saw that my face was not good-looking, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't talk like that, he is the benefactor of the boss! In this way, I still don't know what to call you?"

I hurriedly said with a smile: "My surname is Chen, I am not your son's benefactor! I came here to look for you because I think this land has great development prospects. Our company has been working on real estate projects. Just right, I'm here again, just drop by to take a look."

Lan Mao's stepmother snorted and said: "Our land is very popular now, and many big real estates are competing for it. We are surrounded by mountains and facing the sea. The city government will vigorously develop tourism projects here in the future. We have seen these big real estates. Only those who have the planning plan come to us to grab the land.”

Lan Mao's father also said: "Yes, there is a large water park in front of our village, which may be the largest water park in China. They bought the land to build a resort, a hotel, and some corresponding large supporting facilities. "

Now I was interested, and looked at the plan again, and there was no such thing as a water park as they said.

Lan Mao's father seemed to see my doubts, so he answered: "This is the planning drawing of our town, there will definitely not be these, you have to go to the city planning bureau to see it!"

Lan Mao's stepmother curled her lips and said, "Do you think these big real estates are stupid? They must have confirmed it before buying the land here."

I hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, then how many pieces of land do you plan to lease?"

Lan Mao pointed to a few plots of land on the drawings, showed them to me, and said, "If you really want to buy, you can buy a few plots here. It's close to the subway station, and the transportation is also good. Guancheng is more than ten kilometers away. It’s time to stop, I didn’t want to put these pieces of land at first, I planned to open a farmhouse by myself, the business will definitely be successful, but I don’t have enough money, and I don’t have the energy to take care of it!”

I smiled and said, "How could it be possible that you don't have enough money? Have you been lenient in collecting rent this year?"

Seeing Lan Mao's stepmother showed a proud expression.

Lan Mao's father said: "How much money can we have! You don't know that once the tourism project is confirmed, all the factories in this area will have to move out. At that time, who will rent our houses for these migrant workers? We Now that we don’t have any land, we just live on the rent, now that the rent is gone, we don’t even have a source of income for living, so I don’t have to keep some money?”

I had an idea and said: "Since your house is empty, why don't you change it to a B&B or a hotel! It will be so lively in the future, there must be a lot of tourists, relying on the hotels built by these big real estates, the resort must not be enough to live in." Ah! Besides, what price do they charge for the hotel? If you want to build a B&B, the cost is not high, you can do it with a little decoration, and you can also run a farmhouse. Then you will be the landlord here. As long as the price is higher than theirs The hotel is cheap, this is a profitable business! If you don’t have enough money, I can invest in it for you. Let’s work together, and the profit will be divided in half, how about it?”

Lan Mao's stepmother immediately objected: "You have a good idea! Ah, we sell the house and the land belongs to our family. Why should we share half of the profits with you?"

I hurriedly said, "I came up with the idea!"

Lan Mao's stepmother cut it and said, "How much is the idea worth?"

I shook my head and said, "The idea is worthless, but do you know how to manage it? Do you know how to manage it?"

Lan Mao's stepmother said disdainfully: "Is there anything you can't manage? Isn't it just collecting money and cleaning? If you have hands, you can!"

I sneered and said, "Then pretend I didn't say it, and I wish you good luck!"

Lan Mao's father hurriedly persuaded: "The woman doesn't understand anything, don't be as knowledgeable as her! I know, you must have means!"

I nodded and said: "If it's so easy to do, wouldn't those land households near the scenic spot all get rich! How can it be as easy as you think? Don't think about it, if you can do it, the people in your village can't follow you? They can do the same thing, and when the time comes, it will be time to compare the price. If you pay 100 yuan a night, others can pay 1 yuan. Anyway, there is no cost, and you will not be able to recover the cost in 80 years like this!"

The two thought it made sense and nodded at the same time.

I continued: "If you want to do it, you have to make it into a market. If you can monopolize it, you will monopolize it. Now you are taking advantage of the fact that most of your villagers don't know it, and you can buy it. It will be yours wherever you go. , you are not afraid to compare the price, these tourists have to stay! Big hotels can’t afford it, and it’s far away from the city, so you have to live here. As long as your price is lower than that of big hotels, there must be more people! At that time, you can also develop some farm features, grow some vegetables, raise some fish, tourists can eat and live together, how can one person spend 3 to 4 yuan a night! This is the benefit of the idea, I don’t say it, you can do it Are you there? Do you really think it’s as simple as cleaning and cooking?”

Lan Mao's father glared at his wife, and then said very politely: "Mr. Chen, I think it's okay! Let's cooperate, but you said that we are out of the house and out of the land, and you will share half of our profits." , It’s a bit much! Otherwise, you also invest a share, and I don’t have enough money, so it’s more fair to everyone, what do you think?”

Lan Mao's stepmother nodded hurriedly.

I said displeasedly: "I said that I invested! You find a way to persuade the villagers to give up the land. We can get half of the money for the family. Too much is in your hands. I think the villagers will definitely have ideas. According to my investment ratio, divide it to me. Our investment cost does not need to be too high, and we will not build any large hotels, resorts, or small two-story bungalows. In case, I mean, if the plan is not implemented, we will not lose a lot Big."

Lan Mao's stepmother patted her chest and said, "No, I've already inquired about this inside information. My elder brother is the head of the Planning Bureau! This news was told to me by him himself! It's a certainty."

I smiled and said: "That's the best, even if it doesn't work, we don't worry about it, but the investment must not be too large, and the risk is too high! If possible, we will operate it. Except for the land that has already reached an agreement, the rest will not be exposed. It's rented out. Let's collect it ourselves. I checked and found that there is not much space left, but it just so happens that we don't need too much space!"

Lanmao's father rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "This is my dream! Being a farmer all my life means that I have money and I am not a boss. Now I can be my own boss. That's great. I just want to sit on my own. In front of the hotel at home, move a small table to sit in front of the door, that feeling... not too good!"

Lan Mao's stepmother also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I can also be the proprietress! You say that we can't even think about it in our life! We are rich, but we still feel inferior. Now it's different. In the city When people come to us, they all have to look at our faces!"

I didn't think it was funny, I think they actually expressed the aspirations of many people. Sometimes the sense of accomplishment is more pleasant than making money!I deeply understand this!
