National Tide 1980

To be honest, it actually needs to be coordinated through the "street office" according to Ning Weimin's own expectations.

We can first squeeze out a few new and not old warehouses from the carton factory on the street and temporarily borrow them to have space to store the goods.

Secondly, let the street nursing home free up two rooms so that housewives can move their sewing machines over and work together. That would be enough.

He never expected that Director Li would get him three front-end houses connected together on Meishi Street.

When he took a closer look, what surprised him even more was that there was a small courtyard behind the house with seven other rooms.

There are ten in total, and they are all large tile-roofed houses with gray bricks and wooden beams. They need water and electricity.

The overall area is estimated to be more than 170 square meters.

They were all set aside for him to use as he pleased.

Such an unexpected surprise really made Ning Weimin, who followed Director Li to see the house, a little confused what to say.

Director Li, because he could not see the joy and encouragement on Ning Weimin's face and only saw hesitation, thought he was dissatisfied.

"Do you feel dissatisfied? This room was originally the old shop of Yanmei Zhai of the former Oven Furnace Bureau. It has a front store and a back factory layout. The total area is only 200 square meters. I was thinking, you have to store things again. We still need people to do the sewing and processing. This is the right place. Do you still think the area is small?"

"Oh, you misunderstood, I was just too satisfied, I didn't expect..."

Ning Weimin looked at the house and couldn't help but explain.

Then he suddenly remembered the former merchant of this house, and couldn't help but ask what happened.

"But... this room, I remember, seems to be... the sales department of a factory, right? Selling tablecloths, curtains, flags, etc..."

Director Li did not deny this.

"Hi, yes, it's the sales department of Hongqi Printing and Dyeing Factory. In addition to what you said, they also have windshields for tricycles, cotton mats and the like. But don't you want to use the room? I won't let them leave, can you? move in?"

"Ah? You, you were blasted away by them because of me?"

"Well, that's right. Aren't you anxious? Is there any problem?"

These words are a bit scary. Ning Weimin has never felt that he has such great dignity.

His eyes suddenly widened.

My heart said, what other questions are there?

If that's the case, I'll owe you a huge favor. How to pay it back?

"No, no, the rent is good, and you just kick them out? Then... what can the factory do?"

Fortunately, there was another reason. After laughing, Director Li told the whole story.

"Don't think too much. In fact, it's not all because of you. The main reason is that I don't like the people in their sales department."

"You don't know, the person in charge of the sales department, Zhang Chunlai, is a scoundrel and a bastard! Because he is related to our old director, he can delay the rent payment as long as he can. And he himself uses public funds to eat and drink outside. It’s just as it should be.”

"Until our old director resigned, he was still the same person. When it came to talking about the rent, he became very instigating. He always complained about the poor performance of his sales department. He owed our street office a year's rent and he wouldn't do it. in a hurry."

"Turning his head, he still ate it without fail, and it didn't hurt his mouth at all. I estimate that he had eaten at the restaurant under the front door building no less than ten times. You say you are such a scoundrel, and I couldn't help but feel sick when I saw him. nausea?"

"If I hadn't been concerned about the old director's feelings and was embarrassed to kick people out as soon as he took over, and didn't want others to feel that the tea would get cold when he left, I would have kicked that bastard away."

"Right now, actually you have given me a chance to feel better. When I help you, I am solving practical problems for the street. Am I still used to that bastard's bad habits? The old director just knows that, it's the same Nothing to say."

"As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you send this plague god away as soon as possible, I will be clean. This time I made it clear to him completely. I don't need the rent, so I let him leave. If he doesn't get out in three days, that's not a toast. I'll eat and drink as a fine. Not only do I have to put a seal on it, I also have to go to their factory director to ask for money in person."

"So you have seen the result. The boy is not stupid. He asked his friends to find a place to get out. It seems that his daily eating and drinking is not useless. As for how he should explain to their factory, That's his problem, we can't control it..."

After saying this, Ning Weimin felt much more relaxed, knowing that it would not be a big deal.

But the feeling of gratitude was still there, so I patted my chest and said it generously.

"Director Li, thank you for taking care of this matter. I have no other way to express my gratitude. How about this, doesn't that guy owe us street rent? I paid it for you on his behalf."

"Ah? You...you want to pay for him?" Director Li couldn't help but look surprised.

"I'm not paying for him, I'm repairing the holes in our street. He owes you less than a year, right? Then let's calculate it as a year, and you can tell me how much it is?"

"Oh, Wei Min, but... but this money... is not a small amount! You see, we are in a first-class area. In addition to the rent price of three and eight yuan per square meter, we have to make up for the gap of one hundred and fifty yuan. Then Based on the area of ​​these houses, the total monthly rent is 500 yuan, which is 6,000 yuan a year."

Director Li was delighted to see Ning Weimin's excitement, but he couldn't help but remind him.

"To be honest, I really want to thank you for your willingness to help me. But don't force yourself, you have to really think about it. Don't be afraid of paying for an extra year of rent in vain. Can your company do that?"

Not to mention that people these days are honest and always take the initiative to think about each other.

But because of this, Ning Weimin had to hold on to this friendship.

"What's the point? Don't worry, leave everything to me. I know that you are worthy of me, and I must be worthy of you. Anyway, I can't embarrass you, and I can't let our street suffer."

Director Li was really happy when he heard Ning Weimin confirm again.

He began to praise Ning Weimin from the bottom of his heart for being interesting and honest.

As a result, even Ning Weimin blushed and felt guilty after hearing this compliment. It sounded like he was being scolded and he couldn't help but interrupt quickly.

Because after all, if he paid so willingly, it would not be profitable.

You know, houses are so cheap and hard to find these days.

Although places like Meishi Street are not as lively as Qianmen Street and Dashilan Street, they are still on the edge of the downtown area.

In addition, the rent only counts indoors, not outdoors.

It is impossible to find such a house in a private name.

At most, in seven or eight years, the rent can rise to one million a year according to the market.

What’s the point of having to pay rent for an extra year?

Ning Weimin's real purpose is to use friendship to win over people, so he has occupied this place to death, so it is best not to leave.

As the saying goes, a true hooligan is a hypocrite.

"No, no, don't praise me too early. I can't say anything else."

"I have to declare first that I will give you the money, but it will have to be a month later. You have to wait until I set up this stall."

"In addition, you have to sign a rental contract with me. At this price, you can rent this house to me for at least fifteen years."

It must be said that people of this age are used to being in debt and defaulting on accounts in official and financial transactions.

Director Li had no objection to this, but thought it was normal.

Even saying that three months is okay, there is nothing they can't trust between them.

As for Ning Weimin's mention of signing the contract, Director Li seemed to have heard the funniest joke.

"Ah? How many rooms do you still need to sign a contract? You don't believe what I said, Lao Li, and are you afraid that I will regret it? Yes, just sign it. But what's the point of fifteen years? Isn't it difficult for you to rent it for a long time? I I’ll rent you for twenty-five years, do you dare to sign this contract?”

Ning Weimin was completely speechless.

Seeing Director Li half-joking and pretending to be angry, it seemed as if he didn't hate him enough for cheating him.

Ning Weimin was really embarrassed to hurt the director who smiled so innocently.

Because if he really signed it like this, he wouldn't know that it would be seven or eight years later.

What will Director Li feel like when he thinks of today's scene again.

Maybe he would be more grieved than the old director who had a rogue relative.
