Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 85 Just So Lucky
As soon as the Lu family and his son walked up to the fifth floor, they met a tall, thin man with a round face walking over.

Lu Changhua stood at the top of the stairs and greeted loudly: "Secretary Wang."

"Hey, hey."

Secretary Wang greeted Lu Changhua in a nonchalant manner and walked past Lu Changhua.

Both Lao Lu and Lu Changhua were a little embarrassed, and no one recognized them.

Secretary Wang walked down the stairs and suddenly stopped.

"Um, um, are you Xiao Lu?"

Lu Changhua said with a smile: "Secretary Wang, I am Lu Changhua, special prize winner, the one in the hospital, and I bought skates here."

Lu Changhua quickly gave him a hint.

"Oh! I remember."

Secretary Wang turned around and came back.

"Little Lu, you are..."

"When we saw there was a warehouse for rent down there, we came up to ask about the situation."

"Oh, that's true. This matter is specifically under the office's control."

Secretary Wang pointed to the end of the corridor.

"In the very back, there's a sign on the door."

While the two were talking, two people walked out of the corridor.

"Hehe, just in time, Director Huang is here."

"Secretary Wang, is something wrong?"

Director Huang is in his early thirties and wears large glasses. He looks very capable at first glance and is a caring assistant to the leader.

"Xiao Huang, this is Xiao Lu, who is this?"

Only then did Secretary Wang notice Lao Lu next to him.

"This is my dad, Lu Zaigao."

Only then did Lu Changhua have the opportunity to introduce them to them.

"Oh, it's Lao Lu! Your son's name is Xiao Lu, you, I will be called Lao Lu!"

"Secretary Wang, you're welcome. Just call me Lao Lu."

Lao Lu and Secretary Wang shook hands.

"The father and son want to know about the rental of the warehouse, so you can handle it in detail. I have to go to the bureau to hold a meeting."

Secretary Wang gave the explanation, said hello to the Lu family and his son, and left.

Director Huang asked the other person to go do the work first, and he warmly greeted the two of them to go to the office to talk.

The office is at the end of the corridor.

The interior is extremely simple, with an old-fashioned desk whose paint has peeled off, and a wooden coffee table that surrounds a large circle of old-fashioned fabric sofas.

As soon as they entered, Director Huang enthusiastically asked the two of them to sit down first.

I have to make tea for them both after busy work.

The sofa was made of springs and had lost its elasticity. Lu Changhua was a little nervous when he sat down.

"Director, you are too polite. Please don't be busy. We are not thirsty."

Old Lu became polite.

"Hey, everyone here is a guest. This tea was given to me by the manufacturer when I was on a business trip. Try it."

After a while, the scent of jasmine filled the room.

A few white flower buds floated in the two cups of green tea.After a while, it turned into petals and floated quietly.

"Well, good tea."

Lao Lu held the teacup in his hands, lowered his head and smelled it carefully, and praised loudly.

He is a person who drinks jasmine tea all the time, so he naturally knows whether it is good or bad.

"Haha, Comrade Lu is an expert!"

Director Huang also made himself a cup and took a savory sip.

He smacked his lips, closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "Authentic!"

Lu Changhua also took a light sip.

He could only taste the fragrance of jasmine tea, but he didn't understand anything else.

After chatting about tea, Director Huang pushed his glasses and asked, "Old Comrade Lu, are you interested in the warehouse below?"

"Ahem." Lao Lu coughed but said nothing.

Lu Changhua then said: "Director Huang, three rooms are sixty square meters. The rent is indeed too high. Can we discuss it?"

"As for the rent, it's the company leader's decision. I really have no choice."

Director Huang took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you plan to use it for?"

"Do we still have restrictions?"

Lu Changhua asked rhetorically.

"That's not it."

"We are planning to open a restaurant, I wonder if that's okay?"

Lao Lu looked at Director Huang with a smile.

"Open a restaurant?"

Director Huang frowned.

"It's not impossible. It's just..."

He pondered for a while and said: "The water and electricity need to be improved, and the sewerage must be connected to the municipal government. The amount of work is a bit large."

"So, our later investment was too big, so we asked if we could get a discount on the rent." Lao Lu's mind was spinning very quickly.

"Tsk."

Director Huang chewed his teeth and said helplessly: "There is really nothing we can do about the rent. If it could be lowered, I would have lowered it a long time ago. Why do we have to wait until now for this warehouse?!"

Lu Changhua and his father looked at each other without saying a word.

To be honest, the rent of [-] yuan is really sky-high these days, especially in this small fourth- and fifth-tier county.

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the Lu family and his son, Director Huang was probably anxious.

Think about it, the errands assigned by the leader have been busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and have not been completed. Can he not be in a hurry? !
"If not, let's make a compromise."

He pondered for a moment and continued: "Don't you think the area is too small? I will give you part of the open space at the back, so you can build it yourself. Is this okay?"

"Do we still need to build it?" Lao Lu was a little reluctant. How much would it cost?

“How much space can you give us?”

Lu Changhua's eyes lit up.

"How about a hundred square meters? Is that enough?"

"Haha, director, one hundred is too little. You know, opening a restaurant requires a certain momentum. The place is too small, so I really can't do it."

"The two hundred?" Director Huang was helpless.

The rent has been brought to the party committee, it has been decided, and no one dares to change it.In order to complete this difficult task, he had no choice but to risk his life.

He was not qualified to join the party committee, but I heard that there were fierce arguments at the meeting.

Secretary Wang wants to rent to the public publicly, while the general manager wants to rent internally.The final result of the dispute was an outrageous rent.

Secretary Wang could only bite the bullet and agreed.

This is the result of political struggle.

"Director, I have all this space for you."

"Ah? Why do you want to be so big?"

"Park the car. There is no place to park when the guests come. Who wants to come and eat?!"

"I can't make the decision yet on this matter. Please ask Secretary Wang for instructions."

The two parties have tentatively reached an agreement, with an annual rent of 800 yuan, leasing three warehouses facing the street, and a [-]-square-meter open space behind the warehouses, where temporary buildings can be built.

The lease term is 20 years.

The rent remained unchanged for the first ten years, and increased by 11% annually from the 5th year onwards.

Lu Changhua read the agreement and proposed adding three clauses.

[-]. The open space is free to use and necessary buildings can be built during the contract period.

Second, the lessee is allowed to transfer subleased shops and temporary buildings during the contract period, and the lessee will cooperate unconditionally.

Third, if the property rights of the leased warehouses and vacant land are to be transferred publicly, the lessee has the right of first refusal under the same conditions.

Director Huang basically agrees with Article [-] and Article [-].

As for the third one, he laughed.

"Lao Lu, your son is thinking about the long term."

Lao Lu grinned and said nothing.

Director Huang thought, property rights transfer?Are you talking nonsense?This all belongs to the state, to whom will it be transferred?Besides, who wants it? !

The draft agreement was placed in the office and was to be signed after Secretary Wang approved it.

Mr. Lu and his wife went back first.

The two parties agreed to come back three days later.

On the way back, Lao Lu asked his son.

"Changhua, what's the use of these two things you mentioned?"

"Dad, let's talk about the parking lot first. Do you want us to take it?"

"It's convenient if you have it, but there's no problem if you don't have it."

There are not many vehicles at this time, so whether there is a parking lot or not does not matter.

"Dad, what we are signing is a 20-year long lease. How can we do this if we don't think about the future?"

Lu Changhua continued: "If ten years from now, what I'm talking about is if. Private cars are allowed to be bought, and everyone has money, can we come to dinner without driving a car? If we don't even have a parking place, then we will Gotta catch him blind.”

"This……"

How could Lao Lu have imagined what would happen ten years later?But when his son said this, he thought about it and felt it made sense, so he nodded.

"What about the right of first refusal?"

"Dad, we said that in ten years everyone will be rich, they can buy cars, and there should be no problem with houses. We have been operating here for ten years, and our reputation in Beining must be very good. If they really want to open up to the outside world, To transfer property rights, we need to sell the house and land. Do you think our family can buy it? Should we move out?!"

"Sigh~~"

Lao Lu took a breath.

He felt that his son's ideas were too advanced. Did he need to think so far ahead? !

"If we work for two or three years and you don't want to work anymore, you can transfer the store to avoid losing money, so the terms of sublease and transfer are also required."

Lu Changhua continued to explain.

He looked at his son's still immature cheeks, the son was still the same son, but the thoughts in his mind were completely different.

My son didn’t have any clear goals or ideas before, but now he has clear goals and does things neatly. He is an adult now.

At this time, Lu Zaigao really repositioned his son.

Lu Changhua was recognized by Lao Lu as the talkative person in the family, and from now on all major family matters would have to be discussed with his son.

Three days later, the two men appeared in Director Huang's office again.

"Oh, Comrade Lao Lu, you are finally here. Sit down."

After the two men sat down, Director Huang took out the agreement and said: "Secretary Wang said, we will follow the agreement. But..."

His turn of events shocked the Lu family.

"Secretary Wang also promised to give you two warehouses in the north, so you can store the ingredients."

"Ah? This is a good thing. Thank you Secretary Wang, thank you Director Huang."

Lu Changhua was happy.

"But there is a condition. I don't know if you can do it."

"What conditions?" Lao Lu was a little worried.

“Can ten years of rent be paid in one lump sum?”

"what?"

Lao Lu's eyes widened. He paid it all in one lump sum, which was 8000 yuan!
Director Huang also looked embarrassed.

"I know you can't come up with so much money at once, but the company is in urgent need of this money. If you can come up with it, I can make the decision and give you two more warehouses in the north. How about it?"

"Director, it's useless no matter how much warehouse you give me. Besides, why do I need so many warehouses? I don't have any inventory."

Old Lu really didn't want to.

8000 yuan, this is just the rent. Thinking about the later renovation costs, he now has a headache.

I'm afraid the money given by my son will be gone after a few twists and turns.

"Director, how many warehouses are there in total?"

"Eighteen rooms, all six meters by six meters."

"How about this? I'll increase the rent by another 200 yuan every year and collect 1000 yuan. The ten-year rent will be paid in one lump sum of 1 yuan. Can you give me all eighteen warehouses?"

"Ah? Really? I'll report it to Secretary Wang."

"No need to report, I agree."

Secretary Wang walked in.

"Secretary Wang."

"Secretary Wang."

"Everyone sit down. I heard what you just said. I agree with Xiao Lu's suggestion. Give him these eighteen warehouses and give him this open space."

Secretary Wang laughed loudly and said to Director Huang: "Xiao Huang, just follow what I just said and make a new agreement."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."
