Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 258 Make a bet!
After Lin Jianguo went out, Jiang Longcheng asked in surprise: "Brother Li Yi, you came here just to rent a few shabby houses?"

"Ok!"

"Why come here if you want to use a house? Our cotton spinning factory has dozens of large and small warehouses, and even spare production workshops. Isn't it better than here?" Jiang Longcheng said.

Li Yi smiled and said: "There are indeed many houses in the cotton spinning factory, but they are not suitable for me. On the contrary, the ones south of the casting factory are more suitable!"

"Hey, I remembered. I seem to have some impressions of those houses over there at the foundry. I remember they were smelly all around and they faced the street. What's the point of renting them there?" Ye Jianhua also asked.

"Hehe, secret!"

Just as he was talking, Lin Jianguo returned to the office again.

Then he said to Li Yi: "Comrade Li Yi, I just asked someone to inquire. The monthly rent for an ordinary [-]-square-meter house in Beiguan Village is almost eight yuan."

"But those are residences. Those houses to the south of us can only be regarded as warehouses, and the price is certainly not as good as residences. But the area is much larger, almost five to six hundred square meters, so the price given by the finance department is one month 30 yuan!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Longcheng frowned and said: "Lin Jianguo, you are too shady. There are only a few leaky warehouses, and you dare to open 30 yuan a month. You are a coward." ah?"

Lin Jianguo said hurriedly: "Then 2020 yuan"

Jiang Longcheng wanted to say something else, but Li Yi said first: "Director Lin, don't listen to him. 30 yuan is already very cheap. This should not be the reference price given to you by the finance department!"

Lin Jianguo's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Li Yi in surprise.

Seeing the guy's expression, Jiang Longcheng knew that Li Yi had guessed correctly, and immediately asked: "What is your factory's financial quotation?"

"50!"

Li Yi immediately said: "Just calculate it as 50 a month, but I have a condition!"

"What conditions?"

"I want to rent for five years, and all the rent must be paid in one lump sum. At the same time, the contract also states that if the price is the same after five years, I will have priority in leasing it!" Li Yi said.

"Comrade Li Yi, are you kidding me?"

As soon as Lin Jianguo finished speaking, he saw Li Yi take out a pile of cash from the bag he was carrying and slap it directly on his desk.

One bundle of large bundles costs a full 1000 yuan. Here are three bundles in front of me, which is 3000 yuan, which is exactly five years' rent.

Lin Jianguo swallowed. 3000 yuan was not much, but it could cover a month's salary for more than 100 employees in their factory.

This is really a timely help for the factory, which is so poor that they can't even open the pot!
Li Yi's arrogant behavior also shocked Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua next to him. Although they were from extraordinary backgrounds and their families were not short of money, they would not go out with so much money.

This is 3000 yuan, which is equivalent to nearly 10 years' salary of an ordinary worker. Who dares to carry it with him like this?

What's more, the satchel Li Yi was carrying was still full of money, obviously more than the 3000 yuan.

Who is this kid? Is he really from the mountains?
And what was he going to do with spending so much money renting such a useless shabby house?

For a moment, the three people in the room looked at Li Yi stupidly, and the scene was strangely quiet!
The reaction of these people was as expected by Li Yi. He immediately knocked on the table and then said to Lin Jianguo: "Director Lin, I am not joking with you. Can you please give me a happy word?"

Lin Jianguo came to his senses immediately and said hurriedly: "Okay, but the price you gave is a bit high."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi said calmly: "I know whether it's high or not. It's 50 yuan a month. I agree with this price!"

In Beijing, if you want to rent a house of 50 to [-] square meters for [-] yuan, this price is affordable now.

It’s too far away, just take a look at it in four or five days, and I’ll be sorry if you don’t double or triple it.

Going even further, in three to five years, renting a house for 50 yuan a day will not cost you even 50 yuan a month, let alone [-] yuan a month.

Lin Jianguo did not dare to make the decision, but turned his attention to Jiang Longcheng aside.

After all, this was the person who brought it. Without his nod, how could he dare to accept the money?

Jiang Longcheng naturally understood what Lin Jianguo meant, but seeing Li Yi's firm attitude, he could only nod.

Seeing Jiang Longcheng nodding in agreement, Lin Jianguo immediately said happily: "Comrade Li Yi, then we've settled this matter!"

"Well, in addition to renting a house, I also want to place a batch of orders with your casting factory!" Li Yi said.

"What order?" Lin Jianguo asked hurriedly.Their casting factory is almost at the point of life and death. If there are no more orders, more than 100 employees in their factory will have to drink northwest wind during the Chinese New Year.

So, now that he heard the word "order", his eyes were shining.

Li Yi took out a few pages of plain white paper from his bag and handed them to Lin Jianguo.

"Look at the stuff on this. Can your factory make it?"

Lin Jianguo took the drawing and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said, "This should be a kind of baking table. Is this a kind of pot?"

Li Yi immediately explained: "This is called an integrated grilling and shabu-shabu table. The hole on the left is used to place the charcoal basin."

After Li Yi explained the integrated barbecue and hotpot table in detail, he then asked: "Can your casting factory make it? If so, I will order a hundred tables."

Lin Jianguo frowned and said, "I can't answer you yet. How about I ask the master in the workshop first and then get back to you?"

"can!"

"Then wait a minute!"

After saying that, Lin Jianguo hurriedly left the office again!

When only the three of them were left in the office, Jiang Longcheng, who had already been a little unable to hold himself in, immediately asked: "Brother Li Yi, do you really want to spend 3000 yuan to rent their shabby warehouse?"

"Ok!"

"What do you think? Isn't this just wasting money?" Jiang Longcheng said anxiously.

However, Li Yi said lightly: "Do you think I look like a fool?"

"Uh"

Li Yi looked at Ye Jianhua again, and then asked: "Do you also think this house is not worth 3000 yuan?"

"It's not worth it!" Ye Jianhua said without thinking.

Although houses in Beijing are relatively expensive, an ordinary house can be rented for six to eight yuan a month. If it is near a train station, it can be rented for ten yuan a month.

But they are all residential buildings, and they are all equipped with stoves, beds, water tanks and other daily necessities. An abandoned warehouse like a foundry is definitely not worth the price.

Li Yi smiled softly and said: "Believe it or not, the price of this warehouse can double or even triple within a week!"

"How is this possible?" Jiang Longcheng asked.

"How about we make a bet?"

"Why bet?"

"Let's make a bet on the price of rent, not limited to this warehouse, but also all the shops along the street in Beiguan Village. If the rent price doubles within a week, I will win. If the rent price does not increase, I will lose!" Li Yi said.

"What about the lottery head?"

Li Yi immediately said: "If I win the lottery, you can do something for me. Of course, it will not be illegal and you will not violate your conscience and morality!"

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will tell you another fortune!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, bet!"

At this moment, Ye Jianhua on the side said weakly: "Can you count me in?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay!"

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"
