After Qin Hai settled Ning Mo and the others, he went on a business trip with Lu Xiaolin and Heizi to other places. Xia Yangjie handed over his resignation report to Yang Xinyu and concentrated on the topic of fiber winding resin, so he couldn't go out with Qin Hai and them. Qin Hai found a few more enthusiastic teachers in other colleges and universities as special experts of the working group, and according to the different contents of the investigation, he brought different people with him, and it was enough to bluff people when he went to various places.

Ning Mo and the other three took the letter of introduction issued by the localization office and went to the Pujiang Automobile Factory to learn car driving for a week, and then they all got their driver's licenses, becoming the first batch of non-professional drivers in China. In the days that followed, they drove the Pusang car and began to look for a suitable site for Qinhai's material technology service company.

At that time, Pujiang could be said to be under the whole world, and it was not the king's land. All the sites are divided into units, and there is no such thing as a development zone or ABP where factories and offices can be rented. Liu Yaozhong's Dongyao Plastics Factory has a large piece of free space, and he is willing to lend it to Qin Hai for their use. After Qin Hai considered it, he rejected Liu Yaozhong's kindness. The reason for his refusal was that he did not want to mix two different units together, and secondly, because Dongyao Plastics Factory was located in a suburban county, which was inconvenient for transportation, which was not conducive to recruiting research talents.

Ning Mo and the others took the map, walked through the streets and alleys, looked for the site everywhere, and almost smoothed out the patterns on the tires of the car, but still found nothing. In the end, what they didn't expect was that it was the landlord Zhou Quanmei who helped them solve this problem.

Since discovering that several tenants from other places actually have a brand-new Pusang car in their hands, Zhou Quanmei no longer regards them as ordinary "countrymen". Every now and then, she would stop by to visit a few young people and bring them some side dishes to accompany their meals. Among these people, the most proficient is Yu Haitao, his aunt is long and aunty, and Zhou Quanmei is stunned. In the meantime. Yu Haitao also diligently drove Zhou Quanmei to do two things, which made Zhou Quanmei show off fiercely in front of her relatives, and since then Zhou Quanmei has become more enthusiastic about these young people.

That time, a few young people came back from outside very late and exhausted, just as Zhou Quanmei was making supper in the kitchen. Zhou Quanmei asked with concern how their affairs were doing, and Yu Haitao sighed: "Alas. I now know what it means to find a venue in Pujiang. ”

"What are you looking for?" Zhou Quanmei asked while stirring egg flowers in the bowl.

Yu Haitao said: "We at the Nord Stream No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant want to build a research institute in Pujiang and want to rent a site of dozens of acres. But after running for so many days, people say that unless you go to a suburban county, you will definitely not find it around the city. ”

Yu Haitao's statement is the caliber agreed between Qin Hai and them. If it is said to build a private science and technology service company. I'm afraid that renting land will be several times more difficult. It is relatively common for foreign enterprises to set up liaison offices in Pujiang, and the origin of the Nord Stream No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant is also large enough that it is not easy to arouse the vigilance of others.

"Dozens of acres in size?" Zhou Quanmei frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "If you want to build a research institute, do you still need a house on it?" ”

Yu Haitao said: "It doesn't matter if the house is not a house. If we don't have a house, we can build it ourselves. But. We want to rent for a longer period of time, otherwise it will not be cost-effective to build a house. ”

"So? Why don't I ask for you? Zhou Quanmei said.

Yu Haitao just regarded Zhou Quanmei's words as a casual conversation. And didn't take it to heart. Who knows, two days later, Zhou Quanmei actually came to knock on Yu Haitao's door and handed him a small note with an address, a unit name, a contact person's name and a phone number.

"Is this ......," Yu Haitao asked in surprise.

"This unit has a venue that may suit your needs. But. You have something specific to talk about, and this person is their manager. Zhou Quanmei pointed to the name on the note and said.

With the mentality of trying it out, early the next morning, Yu Haitao dialed the phone number of the contact, whose name was Peng Xingzong. The position written on the note is the manager of the fourth branch of the second construction company in Pujiang City, and it doesn't seem to be a big cadre.

After listening to Yu Haitao's self-introduction, Peng Xingzong responded lightly and said, "I know about this matter, if you are interested, come and talk about it." ”

These days, everyone has been accustomed to all kinds of disappointments, heard that there is such a clue, several people are excited, hurriedly packed up, and drove to Pudong Jiaotong University to pick up Xia Yangjie, and then went straight to the address located somewhere on the Laopuhuang Highway.

Pujiang people have always been very meticulous in doing things, Peng Xingzong asked Yu Haitao to meet, and estimated in advance that Yu Haitao was not familiar with geography. He explained all kinds of road signs clearly on the phone, and even how many meters he walked after passing a certain commissary, and then he made a big turn. After the Pusang car turned around the labyrinthine road for an hour, a dilapidated factory door appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the mottled paint number read: Pujiang No. 2 Construction Company No. 4 Branch Machine Repair Factory.

"Is it a small metaphor from An He?" A man in a tunic stood at the gate of the factory and asked the people in the car.

"I'm Xiao Yu." Yu Haitao opened the door and jumped out of the car, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Manager Peng?" ”

"Yes, I'm Manager Peng." The man was not polite, and he called himself an official. However, he didn't have any official pretensions, and when he saw that a few people were coming by car, he stepped forward and personally opened the factory door for them, and let them drive the car into the factory.

It is said that it is a factory, but in fact, the area is really not big, and it is thirty or forty acres by visual inspection. The factory is surrounded by a wall, a standard single-storey factory building, and several rows of bungalows. On an empty field, there are some rusty construction machinery, which are already so rotten that only the value of refurnace smelting remains. The factory is covered with waist-high grass, showing that there has not been a human presence here for at least three or five years.

"It's been deserted for several years, and I can't find a place to sit, so let's stand here and talk." Peng Xingzong pointed to the factory area and said to everyone.

"Isn't this your company's machine shop, how can it be deserted?" Qin Rongqing asked strangely.

Peng Xingzong said: "We used to do engineering here, so we set aside a place and set up a machine repair factory. Now that our construction site has moved to the west, we can't send the equipment here to repair it, right? So it's deserted. ”

"You mean, you've built a new mechanic shop over there?" Xia Yangjie asked.

"That's for sure." Peng Xingzong replied disappreciatively.

I sell cakes...... Ning Mo and the others stroked their foreheads with their hands, they were as tired as dogs, looking for a site everywhere but couldn't find it, so what kind of branch can build a new machine repair factory on a different construction site, and then use the place of the old machine repair factory to plant grass, what is this?

"Teacher Xia, do you think this place is suitable?" Yu Haitao pulled Xia Yangjie aside and asked him in a low voice. Qin Hai had explained to them before the business trip that they should listen to Xia Yangjie's opinions more about choosing a venue, because only Xia Yangjie knows best what kind of venue and working conditions are needed.

Xia Yangjie nodded and said, "Suitable!" If we can rent all this site, these bungalows can be used as research rooms, and the workshop can be converted into real yàn rooms and real yàn factories. In the future, if we have money, we can build a few more houses next to it, and this is a very perfect research institute. ”

"So, we might consider renting this place?" Yu Haitao said.

"Absolutely." Xia Yangjie said.

"In your opinion, how much is the rent for this site for a year?" Yu Haitao asked again.

This can make Xia Yangjie stop, he is a scholar, how can he study such a thing. At that time, there was no mature real estate market, and Xia Yangjie couldn't find some second-hand information to compare, so it was impossible to answer Yu Haitao's question.

Yu Haitao saw Xia Yangjie's confused face, and knew that he was asking Yu Blind. He shook off Xia Yangjie, pulled Ning Mo over, and discussed with him the reserve price of renting the venue. Ning Mo also has no experience in renting land, but he has some understanding of the operating costs of enterprises. He muttered to Yu Haitao for a while, and finally agreed that if the rent for a year could be controlled below 100,000 yuan, then he could consider renting it.

This factory covers an area of 40 acres, and if the annual rent is 100,000 yuan, it is equivalent to 2,500 yuan per mu per year, which is about 4 yuan per square meter.

According to the land use management measures formulated by the Pujiang Municipal Government at that time, if foreign-funded enterprises want to occupy land for construction, the annual use fee per square meter of the super-grade area is 60 to 100 yuan, the annual usage fee for the first-grade area is 50 to 90 yuan, and the annual usage fee for the lowest-grade urban area is 3 to 9 yuan per square meter. Ning Mo and Yu Haitao didn't know how many levels of land the machine repair factory was in, but the psychological price they negotiated was more or less reliable.

When Ning Mo and the others were discussing in private, Peng Xingzong did not disturb them, but looked around in the small factory area by himself, tearing off a few weeds from time to time, as if he wanted to make the factory area tidy. Seeing that Yu Haitao and Ning Mo were no longer muttering and walked towards him, Peng Xingzong smiled slightly and asked, "How is it, have you discussed it?" ”

"It's been discussed." Yu Haitao said, "We feel that this place is more suitable for us, but we don't know how much it costs to rent such a place a year." ”

"We don't want money." As soon as Peng Xingzong's words came out, everyone was shocked. (To be continued......)
