Chapter 60 Friendship is as light as water
The old people often say that 'a broken house is worth a thousand dollars', even if the houses on Nanshan Island have been abandoned for more than ten years. But for the villagers who moved away, they never forgot the old houses on the island. If they really want to sell it, they really have to think about it.
Today's special visit is also to mention this matter. In contrast to the island's fishing villages, where the government has moved organically, the abandoned houses have also been expropriated in a sense. However, in the case of Nanshan Island, it is a voluntary relocation.
If it is a government-organized relocation, it is probably more troublesome to move back to live. In the case of Zhuangjia Village, the villagers are voluntary. At that time, the villagers moved away from the island one after another, and did not enjoy any government subsidies.
Now that Zhuang Haiyang has moved back to his hometown, others naturally can't take care of it. Correspondingly, if there are descendants of other villagers who also want to move back to Nanshan Island to live, Zhuang Haiyang can't stop them either. After all, Nanshan Island is not owned by him alone.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Zhuang Haiyang will specially greet the people in the village, hoping to buy their old house that has been abandoned for many years. In this way, the old houses on the island have nothing to do with them.
Concubine Li, who was following behind Zhuang Haiyang, was puzzled and said, "Brother Haiyang, why do you want to buy it?
Zhuang Haiyang, who faced the inquiry, smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, I also know that renting is more economical, but when the time comes, they can't rent it? It will cost at least tens of thousands or even more to renovate an old house." When they don't rent it, who will pay for the decoration?
Also, Haobo and the others don't want to move back in, but who dares to guarantee that their children don't have ideas? What if you run back and deliberately make trouble?
I'd rather spend a little more money now and figure out the ownership of the house than in the future. You also know that once people nowadays are involved in the problem of money, their relatives will turn their faces, let alone the neighbors of the village?"
Don't look at Zhuang Haiyang's current reception of not many tourists every month, but Zhuang Haiyang believes that there are many tourists waiting for the island, and I believe that the former village people may also be red-eyed. If they really want to move back, Zhuang Haiyang can't stop them.
It is precisely because he is afraid of this situation that Zhuang Haiyang would rather spend money to buy someone else's old house than make a wedding dress for someone else. If other villagers really want to move back to the island, Zhuang Haiyang believes that they may not live for long.
In the final analysis, Nanshan Island has a lot of fresh water resources, but it cannot meet the long-term use of too many people. In addition, there is no electricity, and power generation equipment has to be purchased. Villagers who want to move back to the island also have to spend money to put their homes in order.
Secondly, going back and forth between the town and the village, you can't do it without a boat. In this way, the cost of moving back to the island is not small. But if you really want to make people feel profitable, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will compete with Zhuang Haiyang for business.
In addition, Nanzhou Island has developed rapidly in recent years, and Haichen Town is also promoting island sightseeing. Who dares to guarantee that Nanshan Island, which hangs alone in the open sea, will not become the object of development in the future?
After listening to Zhuang Haiyang's story, Concubine Li also felt that it made sense. Because of money, are there fewer examples of turning around and becoming strangers in the end?
But she asked, "What if they won't sell?"
"Then don't buy it! No, I'll take in fewer tourists. As you know, the average tourist can't afford to travel at such a high cost. In fact, if there are too many tourists, I will feel too tired and unnecessary.
The reason why I want to buy an old house is because I want to leave it for tourists on the island in the future. If you want to eat, they can come to my house, and if you live, you always feel a little inconvenient. I'm sure those tourists will feel the same way!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who has received two groups of tourists, has not heard any complaints from tourists. But Zhuang Haiyang can still feel it, and some tourists find it inconvenient. Couples, in particular, may prefer to have their own privacy.
Similarly, there are tourists living at home, and Zhuang Haiyang also finds it inconvenient. If you decorate an old house, Zhuang Haiyang will also be more convenient for tourists on the island. It can also allow tourists to experience more fun island tours!
Back on Nanshan Island, while there was still time, Zhuang Haiyang and Concubine Li began to deal with those mussels. When he was having dinner in the evening, looking at the ringing mobile phone and unfamiliar numbers, Zhuang Haiyang had some guesses.
Waiting for the other party to report to his home, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, good evening!
"I've eaten! Listen to my dad, you came to my house today?"
"Well, I've taken it for you!"
Zhuang Haicheng, who was far away in the imperial capital, heard Zhuang Haiyang's joke, and also sighed: "Alas, I also want to go home! But you know, it's really not easy to go back and forth from the south to the north." Listen to my dad, you want to buy my old house?"
"Yes, there are very few old houses left in the village that can live in them. I moved back some time ago and the doors and windows were rotten. Fortunately, our old houses are all made of stone, which is much stronger than brick houses. ”
For Zhuang Haicheng, he and Zhuang Haiyang have not seen each other for many years. But when he was a teenager, because he was a neighbor, the two children often played together. It's just that Zhuang Haicheng doesn't quite understand why Zhuang Haiyang wants to move back to the village.
When it comes to the sale of old houses, Zhuang Haicheng naturally thinks that it can be sold. He has already made a home in the imperial capital, and he wanted to take his parents to live with him. The problem is that the parents are used to the southern climate, which is very unsuitable for the northern climate.
It's okay to stay for a few days once in a while, but if you really want to stay for a long time, your parents won't be used to it at all. In addition, the area of the house he bought with a loan in the imperial capital is limited, and when his parents come, the family lives together, and his wife always feels inconvenient.
After chatting some gossip, Zhuang Haicheng also said directly: "Ocean, the matter of the house, I discussed it with my father, and he let me have an idea." My opinion is okay, but I still want to know, what are you buying this house for?"
"Brother Cheng, you should know that I have moved back to the village. If you want to buy your old house, you also want to redecorate it. In addition to fishing, I also occasionally receive some friends I met online.
Feilong live broadcast, you should know, right? I'm fine at home, and I often do some live broadcasts with netizens, and I also got to know some netizens who love island tours. Received two groups of tourists, I think the income is okay, but it is not very convenient to live at home.
If there is an extra house, it is better to arrange these tourists to the island. Isn't this going summer vacation right away? Some tourists are planning to bring their families with them. I just thought about buying an extra house and squeezing them all together when the time came. ”
Receiving a call from his father earlier, Zhuang Haicheng was also curious why Zhuang Haiyang wanted to buy an obviously deserted house. He even wondered if his hometown was going to engage in island development. But if you think about it carefully, the area of Nanshan Island is too small to have any development value.
Now that I heard Zhuang Haiyang talk about these situations, Zhuang Haicheng also felt that it was more credible. At the end of the conversation, the two talked about it in detail. In the end, Zhuang Haiyang gave a price of 40,000 yuan, and Zhuang Haicheng felt that it was about the same.
In the end, an old house is just an idea, and it is worthless if no one buys it. But if you really don't want to sell, no matter how high the bid is, you won't sell. But Zhuang Haicheng didn't agree to this matter immediately, but wanted to discuss it with his father first.
For Nanshan Island, where he lived when he was a child, Zhuang Haicheng really didn't think much about it. But for my parents, it was where my grandparents lived. When it comes to selling the old house, after all, the parents have to nod and agree.
Secondly, Zhuang Haicheng also wanted to take this opportunity to inquire with his friends and classmates in his hometown whether there were rumors about the development of Nanshan Island in the town. If there is, then this old house really can't be sold, and it will definitely appreciate in value!
Neighbors in the village, childhood friends and so on, are no match for the benefits of money. If Zhuang Haiyang hadn't taken the initiative to mention buying an old house, I'm afraid the two would not have had this call. The separation time is too long, and the friendship or something has long been as light as water!
