The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 294 Look at the venue

After an hour's drive, they finally arrived near the Hong Kong Island International Airport, which had just started construction. Before reaching the place, Li Chengwen began to complain that the distance was too far.

It is very different from the place he was looking for in Qizhou. He can go there by bicycle. If he rides a motorcycle, he can get there in more than 20 minutes, which is very convenient.

Li Weidong sat in the car and listened quietly without speaking. The distance would only be a few kilometers in a straight line, but because the sea was in the middle, he could only go around in a big circle, and the distance would naturally be far away.

Moreover, there are still a lot of cars in the morning, and there is a rush hour. It is difficult to avoid traffic jams, and it is not easy to get up quickly. Not only his father started to complain, but he also felt that it was a bit far away.

After finally driving to the location, I saw a rectangular steel structure factory building with off-white walls and a blue roof. It looked very beautiful from a distance. log.

Li Chengwen looked at this workshop, feeling a little dazed. This was different from the carpenter's shop he expected. The carpenter's shop he wanted had a front door and a yard behind it.

The area doesn't need to be too big, seventy to eighty square meters, enough for two or three people, this factory building has to be several hundred square meters, which is a bit too big for him.

The landlord had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Luo Jialiang get out of the car, he greeted him and handed him a cigarette. Luo Jialiang looked at it. Although he accepted it, he was somewhat reluctant.

Now he doesn't smoke this kind of cigarettes because of his identity, and he mainly uses cigars. However, in front of Li Weidong, he dare not pretend to be garlic. The boss doesn't smoke cigars. The boss lost face.

The landlord said politely: "Boss Luo, we have contacted by phone, and you also sent someone to look at it yesterday. This is the factory building, which is about [-] square meters, and there are several machines in it that are still in use, because the environmental protection fee cannot be paid. Had to stop."

The landlord continued: "It's only been two or three years, but it has been maintained all the time, and it can be used normally. If you want to rent, these machines are free for you to use."

Luo Jialiang looked at Li Weidong and Li Chengwen, and said directly: "Boss Zhang, open the door and let us go in and take a look. You can't bid without looking at things."

The landlord said: "Yes, yes, please come in!"

Luo Jialiang did not introduce Li Weidong to the landlord, and the landlord was not stupid, nor did he take the initiative to ask. If he didn't introduce him, even if he didn't mean to get acquainted, he would not offend potential customers.

The door was opened, and the inside of the workshop was quite clean. There were some planks neatly piled up in the corner, several chainsaws and planers, and the painting equipment next to it.

Seeing this factory building, Li Weidong was quite satisfied, but it was not in line with his expectations. The two of them felt the same, and it was too big, which did not meet Li Weidong's intention of making a fuss.

Li Weidong asked: "Father, are you satisfied with this factory building? If so, let's rent it?"

Li Chengwen looked around and fumbled here and there, looking like an expert, but the things here were mainly electrical tools, and there were basically no planes, chisels, hand saws, ink fountains and the like that he wanted to see.

He has seen and used these things before, but he is not used to them. He thinks that these things can easily make people waste their previous skills. In the past, whether sawing wood into a straight line was an assessment item. Nothing is not straight.

Li Chengwen said: "It's good, but we can't use it up if it's so big, and this place is terribly remote. Whoever comes to buy things doesn't rely on the street or the market, and the things they make can't be sold."

"Father, where is the kind you want now? In the backyard of the former city, there might still be such a place ten years ago, and now the big cities don't allow you to do this in the downtown area."

"You don't care if it's big or not, and if you rely on the street, as long as you're satisfied, we'll rent it. As long as it's good, don't worry about not being able to sell it. Don't you have confidence in your craftsmanship?"

Li Weidong used a little aggressive method, and Li Chengwen also knew what Li Weidong meant, but it would be impossible to deny him in terms of his skills.

"Don't do this to me. I can't sell the things I make. I can't make any of the furniture in your house. If you spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy it, I think you have money to burn it."

Li Weidong said as soon as he heard it: "Okay, let's rent this place. You can see what tools are missing. We will buy them in a while, and we will start work on the eighth day in two days."

Li Chengwen looked at the workshop again, and stopped talking, as he could see hesitation in his eyes.

Li Weidong asked: "What's the matter, what's the problem?"

Li Weidong hesitated and said, "This place is good, but it's too far away from our house. I have to get a car to deliver it for more than an hour every morning. How much money do I have to earn to earn this money?"

"Father, don't worry about this. It won't cost you a few gas dollars. Don't think that those solid wood furniture are worthless in our country, but they are very valuable in Hong Kong Island, and the profits are huge."

"Just say that our recliner can sell for 40 to [-] yuan in the Qizhou market. In Hong Kong Island, you can go to the furniture market and see that there is no such thing as a thousand or eight hundred yuan. Don't even think about it."

"If the materials used are better, a stool can sell for thousands of dollars, and you will be rich by then, and you still care about the oil money."

"If you are worried about the long time, let's come by boat. I just saw that there is a pier next to it. Let's ask if there is any boat near us."

When Li Weidong said this, he also thought in his heart, if there is no ferry boat, can he just buy a small fishing boat himself? Half an hour is enough for this distance.

This is an inland sea, and there are no strong winds or waves, so there is no problem with safety. If a typhoon comes, the whole city will suspend work and classes, so naturally you have to rest at home!
Li Chengwen said again: "That doesn't work either. As long as I can do something by myself, I still want to find two apprentices!"

Li Weidong looked at Luo Jialiang, the meaning was obvious, and he needed to solve this.

Luo Jialiang already knew what Li Weidong meant by looking for a furniture factory on the way here. This is because the old man wants to make a living, and he must be satisfied no matter what.

Looking at Li Weidong's eyes now, he knew that this matter must fall on his head, so he said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I have a few friends who didn't learn well when they were young, and now they don't have any skills. Making a living is difficult.”

"If you can learn some crafts, it will be their skill in the future, and you can find a decent job. You see, if you can show kindness, you can accept them and give them a way of life. You are a bodhisattva. .”

Li Chengwen looked at Luo Jialiang suspiciously. Although he didn't know what Luo Jialiang had done recently, he knew that he already had some energy. He used to take the bus, but now that he bought a car, and arranged a few friends, could it be that there is no way out?
However, Li Chengwen was still fooled by the words "Bodhisattva's heart". The older people become, the more superstitious they become, and the more they believe that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, going to hell and going to heaven are all in between.

Li Chengwen nodded, agreeing, and now he has no more doubts. Looking at the landlord next to him, he asked in half-baked Cantonese, "How much do you plan to rent for this house?"

Before the landlord could reply, Luo Jialiang saw Li Weidong winking at him, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this trivial matter, Uncle Li, I will definitely negotiate the lowest price!"

Li Chengwen glanced at his son, knowing that it was Li Weidong's intention, which would save him trouble, so he nodded without saying a word, and wandered around the factory.

Li Weidong looked at the faintly visible Hong Kong Island Airport under construction in the distance, and waved to Luo Jialiang. Luo Jialiang stopped negotiating with the landlord and ran over.

Li Weidong said: "Ask the landlord if the factory building is for sale, and if the land below can be sublet together?"

The land on Hong Kong Island is not owned by individuals. It needs to be leased from government departments with a certain period of use, but this period is relatively long, and the leased land can be sub-leased to individuals.

If Li Weidong didn't settle the land under the factory building, it would be of little use to buy the factory building. If he had the right to use the land, even if he demolished the factory building and rebuilt something, he only needed to report to the government for approval.

Luo Jialiang nodded, returned to the side, and chatted with the landlord again!

Li Weidong walked out of the factory building, which was located at a relatively high altitude, and the sea level in the distance could be seen clearly, and the yachts and cargo ships drifting on the sea were looming.

Seeing Ding Yuan following behind, Li Weidong asked casually, "Where is that cruiser now?"
