113. Dispel concerns
After sending off the third brother, Zhou Fangyuan returned home, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were watching TV, and he walked over and turned up the volume of the TV all of a sudden.
"What are you doing?"
The two of them were a little dumbfounded, not knowing what their son was going to do, and Zhou's mother specially asked.
"Mom, I have something to talk about......"
After turning up the volume of the TV to cover up their conversation, Zhou Fangyuan moved a stool and sat in front of Zhou's father and mother.
Then he told him everything that had just happened.
“...... This classmate of mine, his father works as a secretary for the leader in the city government, so it is normal for him to have access to some relatively secret information. Mom, this opportunity is a great opportunity, now there are few people in the whole Beitong City who know, the most important thing is that people with urban hukou can't buy land in our village, we now have a natural advantage, as long as we seize this opportunity, our family will be really developed!"
Zhou Fangyuan looked at his parents, and said in a deep voice with very serious eyes.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother looked at each other, and both of them were stunned by the news, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Zhou's mother raised her hand and rubbed her face, "Son, it's not that we don't believe you, but isn't he a little too mysterious about this? The government wants to develop our land here? Here, there is no news yet......
Dad Zhou also nodded beside him, "Yes, there are no documents issued in the city, can this be true? And your classmate, even if his father really knows any news, he won't tell him, you are all students, how can you understand adult affairs. ”
"But I understand," Zhou Fangyuan said the most irrefutable words from Zhou's father and Zhou's mother with one mouth, "And Dad, Mom, we don't know what's going on in other people's homes, maybe my classmate's father really has something to say to his children? People are different from people, you think it's more important for us to study now, maybe other parents think it's more important for their children to get in touch with society as soon as possible." ”
"This ......"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were a little speechless.
In the end, Dad Zhou could only nod, "It's not unreasonable for you to say that, but Yangyang, you say, even if this thing is true, how much land can our family buy? But what if it's fake? If we really put the money into it, and finally the city decided not to develop this land, what should we do if so much land is smashed in our hands at that time? Son, now farming is not profitable, and no matter how much land there is, it is useless." ”
I have to say that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's ideas have been constantly changing.
At first, when Zhou Fangyuan had just come back from rebirth, they still attached great importance to their own house and land, and in order to run a school for Zhou Fangyuan, they needed to sell their houses and land, so why didn't they drip blood in their hearts? But now that the family has made money, their parents have tasted the sweetness of opening a store, but they no longer fancy this land in the countryside.
This is also the most normal idea of ordinary villagers in this era, after all, farming in this era is really not profitable, in fact, before Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, how many farmers farmed just barely to make a living?
So it is completely reasonable for Dad Zhou to say such a thing.
But Zhou Fangyuan had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Dad, I'll explain your problem to you, let's talk about the first point first.
Our family's savings are still 1.5 million, and according to the price of 3,000 acres, we can only buy 500 acres of land. But as you said, it's too little, and even if all the 500 acres of land are sold out, you can't make much money to be honest. So I had an idea, we might as well take our store to the bank as collateral and take out a loan. Our store is now the most prosperous point in Beitong, why can't we repay two or three million loans. With these two or three million, we can at least buy 1,000 acres of land. Add up to 1,500 acres, which is about the same as the amount of cultivated land in our village......"
"Wait, son, you're not having a fever, are you?"
However, before Zhou Fangyuan could finish speaking, Zhou's mother hurriedly interrupted, her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhou Fangyuan in disbelief, "What did you just say? Loan? My God, do you know what you're doing? I and your father only paid off our family's debt a few days ago, and now you are asking us to take out a loan from the bank? What should we do if we don't borrow the state's money when the time comes? Don't try to lie to me, I understand, if you don't pay it by then, our store will become a people's bank!" We've finally made such a mess, and you're going to let me go out of it now when you open your mouth? No, I don't agree!"
Dad Zhou also nodded beside him, "Son, this time I agree with your mother, although you advocated getting this shop, but this thing belongs to our family, and this store can be passed on to you when we are old, so it's a big loss to give it up now." If you want me to say, let's not think about it, our family can make a lot of money a year by guarding this store, so why take such a risk?"
Both parents disagreed, Zhou Fangyuan had actually thought about this problem a long time ago.
He also knew that he was taking a very risky step, and he was afraid that others would refuse. It's just that because he came back from the future, he knew very well that the transformation of the Gan River was imperative. The determination of the municipal government is very great, otherwise it would not have completed many tasks such as land acquisition, bidding, construction, completion, acceptance, and official opening to the public in just one year in the previous life.
It is precisely because he knows that the determination of the city government is very strong, so he knows that this matter will never change, even if his little butterfly has begun to flap its wings, he has not yet had the ability to influence the decision of the city leaders. Therefore, the transformation of Ganhe will definitely be carried out, and the difference is only in how much fat can be eaten in the process of this transformation.
Zhou Fangyuan took a deep breath, and in the face of the situation he had long expected, his brain quickly organized language.
"Dad, Mom, I've thought about your question, and that's exactly what I'm going to say next.
First of all, we will not lose money when we invest in land. Yes, I admit that farming is not profitable now, but that's just in the ordinary case. Do you understand what is the biggest difference between China and the developed countries in the West in the field of agriculture? The most important point is that China is still in a small-scale peasant economy. All the land was distributed to peasant households one after another, and the per capita amount of arable land held was not high, with tens of acres or a few acres per person.
The land was small, the output was small, and the farmers could not afford to buy large agricultural machinery, so all the agricultural work was done by hand, and the labor force was tied to the land. If we can buy a lot of land, even if the development of the Gan River is really halted by then, it will be fine. Our land has been connected into a large area, we can buy large agricultural machinery, and it may only take a dozen people to manage that large piece of land. How much do you imagine the cost of this will go down?
And our family is now open a fast food restaurant, and the current consumption of lettuce alone has reached more than 2,000 catties per day, and with the continuous expansion of our store, this number will continue to increase. What's more, if we want to develop new products in the future, we are bound to continue to join the traditional Chinese catering, and the various vegetables we need will continue to increase.
Let's talk about the next question, you are worried that our store will eventually be taken away by the state, but I am not worried about this problem. Let's just say that our current sales are guaranteed to be 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a day, and you can calculate for yourself, how much will it be this year? If we borrow 5 million from the bank, can we earn the 5 million? It is completely possible, for today's Jin Polo, 5 million a year is actually not a difficult task.
Dad, Mom, mortgage, let's set the loan time to one year. A year later, not to mention the principal, we can earn the interest, you are still worried that the loan will not be repaid? Not to mention that we have been advertising for so long, if I guess correctly, maybe the new franchisee is already on the way to Beitong. A new franchisee joins, this is another amount of money, and it's not easy to repay a loan?"
Zhou Fangyuan talked eloquently, his mouth was dry, and he picked up his father's tea and took a sip.
And Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, sitting on the sofa, were completely stupid by their son, and the two of them stared at Zhou Fangyuan motionlessly, waiting for him to continue.
Zhou Fangyuan did not disappoint them either.
"Let's talk about this development plan again, think about it carefully, what was Beitong like ten years ago? What will Beitong look like today ten years later? If the city wants to develop, the scale will inevitably continue to grow. But we have a volcanic group to the west, which is not suitable for urban expansion. To the north and south, there are no villages and no populations, which is not conducive to urban sprawl. Only to the east, with a large number of villages and relatively well-developed roads, already has all the basic conditions for urban expansion. Even if this land is not developed now, do you think about what it will be like in 10 years?
Dad, Mom, urban expansion is bound to acquire land, we buy land, even if it is for our own use, ten years later, when the pace of urban expansion comes to us, this is also a huge wealth.
You have to understand a truth, gold and silver will drop in price, but the value of land will be preserved forever, especially in our country with a large population and underdeveloped agriculture, the importance of land is self-evident. That is to say, as long as this thing is held in your hand, it will only appreciate and not depreciate, so this investment is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and you will benefit from it as soon as you start it, Dad, Mom, I say so, can you understand?"
In order to persuade his parents, Zhou Fangyuan also worked hard, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said. He didn't believe it, it was all said to this extent, and his parents would continue to refuse.
