With the advent of the economic tide, Chongxiang, a quiet mountain market town, finally broke the silence for many years and began to become noisy, and the detonating event was the street renovation decided by the township leaders at the beginning of the year. The people of the country have the habit of not revealing their wealth, and they also have the concept that the rafters will rot first, and when this strange policy was first introduced in the township, all the people were waiting.

Thirty dollars a square meter of land?

Every rural man has a three-point homestead, and he only needs to pay a handling fee of 50 yuan when building a house!

You have to build a three-story flat-roofed brick house, and you have to complete it in a year? Do you know how much it costs to build a brick house like this?

What everyone did not expect, including the township leaders, was that Li Chuanmin, who had been detained at the police station for more than 10 days for violating family planning and injuring township cadres four years ago, suddenly bought 400 square meters of land, and then Zhang Weiguo, who was recognized by everyone as the richest man, bought another 200 square meters of land. At this moment, all the people who were building wooden sheds on the street to do business could not sit still, and they all took out their passbooks to withdraw money from the credit cooperatives and the Agricultural Bank of China, and rushed to the township government waving large sums of money.

Businessmen know better than ordinary people how business is done. When the customer comes, there is a beautiful shop on one side, a dilapidated wooden shed on the other, and the price of the goods is the same, where will the business go?

The land is easy to manage, the 180-meter-long street is not enough for everyone to divide, and then approve it along the side street, anyway, this area is a wasteland that can only grow thatch, as long as the leader nods and the land office seals. What is difficult to do is reinforced cement, and as long as the cement is willing to spend money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it, but this steel bar is priceless.

Wang Zhenguo is a shrewd and gambling businessman, as soon as he saw the Chongxiang people began to pour into the township government, he knew that the opportunity to make a fortune had come, and he hoarded steel in the county town for the first time. Even the loyal Li Chuanmin was persuaded by him, and the 45 tons of steel he and Li Jiaming shared, except for less than 20 tons for personal use, the rest were sold by Wang Zhenguo at a high price of 3,758 yuan a ton, which was more than twice as high as the parity steel of the Materials Bureau.

Li Jiaming didn't know how much money the gambling Wang Zhenguo made, he only knew that people bought a new Beijing Jeep, but he knew how much he earned. The buying price of one thousand two thousand, the selling price of three thousand seven hundred and six, this arithmetic problem is too easy to calculate. Li Jiaming's uncle and nephew earned more than 30,000 yuan, not only did the tight construction money be relaxed, but they didn't even need a mortgage, and they could simply decorate that row of houses, which was equivalent to half a year's hard work to get a row of three-story brick houses with six pavements, and it was also in the golden area on the street.

If it weren't for this street renovation, I'm afraid few people would know that there were not a lot of people doing business on Chongxiang Street, so the expensive steel bars seemed to be bought tons and tons without money, and in a blink of an eye, they became steel-concrete or brick-concrete structures on the construction site. However, those who have been doing business on the streets for many years have spent their savings, and this fountain of wealth has come to an end. People in these years are still too poor, and the people who can spend 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to build a three-story brick house are only a very small number after all. But for Li Jiaming's uncle and nephew, the good thing is not over, when he took Manmei and Xiaomei, and brought Jin Mei and Guimei to the construction site, the second uncle smiled and called him over.

"Second uncle, what's the matter?"

"Good thing", the second uncle waved his hand, blasted the four little dots away, and whispered: "Boss You and Boss Wang next door to us came to discuss with me and wanted to share a wall with us." In addition to them sharing the cost with us, we also made up a wall for another 1,000 dollars. ”

Li Jiaming knows a little bit about architecture, and knows that the most expensive thing about a full-frame brick house is the frame, not to mention the high price of reinforced cement now. If he and his second uncle promised them that they would save a little more steel and cement, they could turn the brick-concrete structure of their house into a full-frame structure, and even laymen would know the advantages and disadvantages between the two. What's more, they can also increase the usable area of a wall, which is more than a dozen square meters on the three floors upstairs and downstairs, which is worth two thousand yuan!

If it weren't for the fact that everyone would be neighbors in the future, I would not only ask them to share the cost, but also at least make up a few thousand yuan. Catching up with business has never been a good deal, and there are not many opportunities to send it to the door!

"Okay, then promise them. ”

Seeing that his nephew agreed, Li Chuanmin also smiled and whispered: "Well, everyone will be neighbors in the future, and it will be convenient for us if it is convenient for them." What's more, we don't suffer a loss, which is equivalent to picking up more than 4,000 yuan for nothing. ”

'Hey, hey, hey', Li Jiaming also laughed with the second uncle, with these 4,000 yuan, he can decorate the little sister's room very beautifully. My sister has to be rich, live the best, dress the best, and eat the best. I can't satisfy her by eating the best, but I can still do it if I live the best, wear the best, and save a province in other places.

Five years of primary school, six years soon, plus three years of junior high school, the little sister can live for at least eight years. Spend a few thousand yuan to let the little sister live comfortably for eight years, no matter how this business is calculated, it is not a loss! It really responds to the old saying that 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', and I am worried about where to get some money to make the boudoir beautiful for the little sister, and the money will be sent to the door by itself.

After thinking about how the little sister would scream excitedly when she saw the beautiful boudoir, Li Jiaming happily led her and Manmei, and then walked to the supply and marketing cooperatives with the two little tails of Jin Mei and Gui Mei.

Although the supply and marketing cooperatives are still firmly supported by the state ownership system, their business is not as good as day by day, and the things they sell are more expensive than those in the wooden sheds, but their quality is also better than those private shops. Others may not pay attention to things like trademarks, origins, and health certificates, but Li Jiaming attaches too much importance to these. Especially when it comes to eating things in his stomach, Li Jiaming would rather spend a few cents more than let his sister eat snacks produced in those small workshops.

"Auntie, buy two catties of peach shortbread, two catties of twist flowers, and sixteen bottles of 'Huahuadan' and sixteen 'fruit dan peels'...... Well, take four more versions of Wahaha yogurt. ”

Li Jiaming was happy, and added peach shortbread, twist, yogurt and the like to the snacks he usually bought, which made the four little guys even more happy. The middle-aged woman saleswoman who was lukewarm to other customers was also smiling, and quickly helped them weigh peach shortbread, twist flowers, and get all kinds of small snacks.

This is Li Chuanmin's son, I heard that he gets three or four thousand yuan a month in Guangdong, and he has built two brick houses on the street! Tsk, he is his daughter who married early, and if he is not married, he must invite a matchmaker to talk about his relatives.

What are you afraid of when you get married for the second time? What are you afraid of when you are a little older? With such a sensible cub and such a well-behaved daughter, can you still endure hardships when you get married?
