Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 231 Live with hope

The houses introduced by the landlords, Sister Tian and Aunt Xiao Jie, are all hardcover houses. It is relatively easy for Guan Sha to process, but since most of the houses are two-bedroom or one-bedroom or three-bedroom and one living room, and one is four-bedroom and one living room, the area has become larger. So on the whole, the decoration cost is not much saved. After calculating, Guan Sha found that the cost is basically the same as the decoration of a rough house like Uncle Lei's.

Because it involves changing the style of the house, the landlord, Miss Tian, ​​also came to the house whenever she was free to check the progress of the construction period.

After being in close contact for a while, Guan Sha discovered that Sister Tian was actually a very enthusiastic person, and her enthusiasm seemed to be seen in every villager in Yanzi Valley.

When Guan Sha was supervising the construction site, Sister Tian often said to Guan Sha, "Go and do your work. I'll keep an eye on it. Anyway, I'm fine."

In addition, Sister Tian often sends Guan Sha fried snails and chilled chestnuts.

"You must try it! Especially the chilled chestnuts. There are not many places in the country where you can eat them. There are only one or two stores in Qingyang. They are more delicious than stir-fried ones!"

Guan Sha was skeptical about what Sister Tian said at first. Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, have been a standard dish for thousands of years. How do you eat them iced?
But after Guan Sha tasted it, she realized that she had worked in vain in her previous life. The sweetness of chestnuts did not decrease at all under the icy cold temperature, but became more intense. , but not crunchy, the softness and hardness are just right, and the sweetness lingering between the lips and teeth is even more addictive, as long as you take a bite, you can't stop.

Xiao Qianxing even gave such an evaluation: "The way of eating iced chestnuts can be listed as the greatest invention of mankind in the 21st century together with painless childbirth."

The reason why Xiao Qianxing said that was mainly because when she gave birth to Xiao Jie, the hospital did not have the option of painless delivery, but when she gave birth to Xiao Lie, she realized that there is a hell and a heaven.

The more chilled chestnuts she ate, the more good Guan Sha left in her heart for Sister Tian and the villagers.

Sister Tian sometimes bumps into Guan Sha downstairs in the community, and when she sees that she is carrying big and small bags, she will offer to help and chat with Guan Sha all the way home.

Xiao Jie's aunt planted a lot of tomatoes on the balcony, and when they were ripe, she picked a whole big bag and stuffed them for Guan Sha, saying that girls eat more tomatoes.

When Guan Sha couldn't find reliable electricians and carpenters, the serious-looking village chief, Uncle Lei, recommended several to Guan Sha without saying a word.

Not only that, the villagers made an exception and included Guan Sha into the owner group of Yanzi Valley.

"Big sister, tell me if you have any difficulties!"

"That's right, it's not easy for a little girl to be alone, with so many houses open."

"My house was just completed yesterday, not to mention how well it is installed, it is all environmentally friendly materials."

"The tenant met me, such a gentleman, a construction guy."

"I also met the tenant who rented my house. She is a cute little girl who just graduated."

"That's why I say that Guansha is reliable. We know how to get the house, how to sign the contract, and who to rent it to.

"It doesn't matter if you want to eat sour radishes? I pickled a lot and brought them to you another day."

……

Interestingly, among the villagers in the group who are grateful to Guan Sha, many of them once raised rolling pins and drying racks to Guan Sha.

"Aunt Lei! Uncle Tian! Uncle Li..." Now Guan Sha has all kinds of greetings when she returns to Yanzi Valley, but she doesn't feel that this is a troublesome thing at all, just like saying hello to the elders when returning home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. , now everyone is like a family. Although the Yanzi Valley in the Jingcheng City is wrapped with cold steel bars on the outside, there is a warm heart flowing inside.

Guan Sha has been involved in this circle for a long time, and she has indirectly learned a lot about the affairs of the village.

For example, the landlord, Sister Tian, ​​had a good relationship with the village chief, Uncle Lei, for a while when she was young. For example, Uncle Lei was a veteran before. , was interrupted by the other party's accomplices who suddenly appeared while chasing a robbery thief. Of course, there are some things about Lei Biao, but Lei Biao asked Guan Sha not to tell Shen Li first. I will definitely tell Shen Li personally.

Although the villagers gossip, they have a sense of proportion. Anyone with a discerning eye can see Lei Biao's feelings for Shen Li. Therefore, regarding Lei Biao's matter, the villagers and Guan Sha have reached a consensus invisibly and kept their mouths shut.

The daily maintenance work of 50 houses almost trapped Guan Sha in Yanzi Valley. She rented a small shop on the first floor of the community at a very cheap price, and hired two people with long-term apartment housekeeping experience to help her Taking care of the house, each person is responsible for the daily maintenance of 25 houses, and he finds ways to expand new houses.

Regardless of the rapid expansion of Yanzi Valley, there are no new listings after the number of listings reached 50 in just two or three months. Guan Sha inquired carefully and found the following three reasons:

1. Some villagers have rented out their houses some time ago.

2. Villagers who still have vacancies in their hands are still worried about the long-term rental apartment model, and tend to rent out their own. If they still cannot rent out after a period of time, they will consider long-term rental apartments.

3. Completely boycott long-term rental apartments, there is no room for negotiation.

Therefore, Guan Sha, who still has sufficient liquidity in hand, must find a way to improve the efficiency of fund use. She understands that the money of Jinquan Group is not for the founder to deposit the money in the bank account to earn interest on current deposits. Within her ability, Guan Sha must Actively expand business.

Since Yanzi Valley can't expand at present, it has to shift its target to other business districts.

The current occupancy rate of these 50 houses in Guansha is 94%, and only 3 houses have not been rented out, but these 3 houses were just renovated last week.

Guan Sha believes that the primary reason for the high occupancy rate must be the geographical location and supporting facilities of Yanzi Valley. It passes through the core area of ​​the city, connects three major urban arterial roads, and is adjacent to four subway entrances. It is an urban transportation hub and a small city. Complex, if Guan Sha wants to replicate this success as much as possible, she must find a business district in Qingyang that has similar conditions to Yanzi Valley.

On the way out for business, unmanned trucks and unmanned shuttle buses slowly passed by. Holding a 5G mobile phone, Guan Sha listened to the sound of successful WeChat payment collection coming from all directions, and looked at the 5G blocks, 5G sanitation robots and 5G video surveillance, not only lamented that I was in a genuine national science and technology innovation center, people walked very fast, it seemed that as long as they walked fast, they would not be able to catch up with them.

Under Shen Li's video, someone left a message to Guan Sha: You love the land of Qingyang so deeply, is it because it is convenient to make money?
Guan Sha replied: I suggest you watch "The Corner of Altay", you will understand.

"The Corner of Altay" is a collection of essays that Guan Sha accidentally picked up in a bookstore when she was in junior high school. The two sentences written in the book are still fresh in Guan Sha's memory.

One sentence is: the greatest luck in life is not to violate one's own heart, but to choose the life one wants; and the other sentence is: the reason why people can feel happy is not because they live comfortably, but because they live with hope.
