New Year's Day in 1994 happened to be a Saturday, next to the normal rest of the Sunday, so it was rare for people to take two days off in a row.

When Geng Wenyang and Gan Ruolan returned to Caojia Street to accompany Geng Huizhong and his wife for the holiday, Li Yufen said, "Yangyang, I heard that our area is going to be demolished and rebuilt."

The area around Caojia Street is almost entirely of low-rise adobe brick bungalows, and the public facilities are also very backward. Ordinary people don't even have running water at home, and the toilets are dirty and smelly dry toilets, so they are in line with the scope of old city renovation and are normal to be included in the scope of demolition.

It's just that once Caojia Street is demolished, Geng Huizhong and his wife have nowhere to go, and they can't go back to live in the old courtyard house in Zhuangjia Lane, where the conditions are too simple.

Geng Wenyang pondered for a while and said, "Mom, don't worry. It is said to be demolished, and it can't be demolished for a while. If he dismantles it immediately, I can find you a comfortable place to live."

Geng Huizhong knew that his son had the ability, so he said happily, "Your mother and I are waiting to touch your light."

The small courtyard built by Geng Wenyang on Caojia Street has a three-story building with a construction area of about 480 square meters, and there are warehouses and toilets with a construction area of about 80 square meters in the courtyard, totaling more than 560 square meters. At that time, it cost more than 80,000 yuan to build and renovate the house.

According to the current compensation standard for demolition, the location of Caojia Street is about 8 or 900 yuan per square meter, and even if it only compensates for the demolition area of the small building, Geng Wenyang can get more than 400,000 yuan for demolition.

However, in the historical era when housing prices are about to enter a period of rise, Geng Wenyang will not ask for money stupidly, he will naturally ask for the replacement of the house area. You must know that all the buildings in the small courtyard can be replaced by about five sets of 100-square-meter units, which will be worth a lot of money in the near future.

It's just that the property has not been registered, which means that the residents of the small courtyard can only be regarded as the owner Geng Wenyang at most. If the demolition company implements the policy of converting the demolition area and payment according to the capitation, Geng Wenyang will definitely suffer a big loss.

In the early 90s, the demolition and reconstruction of shantytowns was not very perfect, and it was often the strong who were exposed to the weak who suffered losses, and finally got a lot of chicken feathers.

With Geng Wenyang's current strength, if the demolition company speaks well, he can still communicate, but if the other party comes directly to him, he doesn't care about serious discussions.

After returning to her home in Magnolia Garden after lunch, Gan Ruolan suddenly said, "Wen Yang, I have an idea."

His wife actually said that she had an idea, and Geng Wenyang was a little curious, "What do you think?"

Gan Ruolan said: "Now each unit is building its own house, your company is so big, why don't you buy a piece of land and build a house by yourself? Then we can live next to our parents."

A word wakes up the dreamer. Geng Wenyang suddenly realized: "Yes, our company can build a house by itself and sell it to employees!"

"Other units are divided into houses, why are you still selling?" Gan Ruolan was puzzled: "The staff will have opinions."

Geng Wenyang said with a smile: "They are state-owned enterprises and institutions, and they implement welfare housing. I'm a private enterprise, so I can only sell my house to the workers."

"But where is it better to build a house?" He pondered, "The furniture factory is a good fit, but unfortunately I can't move it for a while. It seems that we have to buy another piece of land."

Gan Ruolan suggested, "Isn't it good to have the back of our community? The cement prefabricated parts factory in the back is a street-run enterprise, and it has long ceased production and closed down, so why don't you just buy it and build a house?"

To the north of the Yulan community is the cement prefabricated parts factory run by Dongguan Street, which has gone bankrupt the year before last, and now the factory is empty and dilapidated. The cement prefabricated parts factory covers an area of about 120 acres, which is a square shape, which is most suitable for building a community and building a house.

Geng Wenyang couldn't help but be moved: "Well, this method you said is very good. When I got to work, I asked Xin Rong to contact the Dongguan Street Office and strive to buy this land as soon as possible."

At the thought of buying land to build her own house, Gan Ruolan suddenly became interested as a woman, and tentatively discussed, "Wen Yang, can I participate in the matter of building a house?"

Women, especially married women, are willing to have their own house and like to tidy up and fiddle in their favorite style. This is the natural instinct of women, and there is nothing wrong with breaking it.

Geng Wenyang thought for a while and said, "Let's set up a leading group for building houses. You are the team leader, and Xin Rong and Gu Shan are your assistants."

Gan Ruolan hesitated for a moment and then said briskly, "Okay! No problem."

As Geng Wenyang's wife, Gan Ruolan will sooner or later enter the management of Wenyang Holding Group. Geng Wenyang also wanted to involve his wife in the management as soon as possible, just taking the opportunity of building a house as an opportunity to break through.

The two of them were about to sleep after chatting, but Yu Hong suddenly came to visit. Geng Wenyang saw that her face was ruddy and smiling, and her body seemed to be open, much plumper than before. It seems that the children are doing well in Hangzhou, at least mentally more sunny than before.

Seeing that Yu Hong had brought a lot of gifts, Gan Ruolan said politely, "Why are you so polite, come and come, what else do you bring?"

Yu Hong explained, "My dad went to Haixi Vocational School to become a teacher, and my mom also went to work as a warehouse keeper, and they were both very grateful, which forced me to bring so many things."

Gan Ruolan and Yu Hong were originally close best friends, and they naturally thought about it after not seeing each other for a long time, so they sat on the sofa hand in hand and talked about themselves.

Without Yu Chunlin's drag, Yu Hong's family of three is now living very comfortably. She thanked again and again: "Thanks to Geng Wenyang, otherwise our family would still be worried now, and I might not be able to be admitted to university."

Geng Wenyang smiled, "Don't mention the past. You are now a graduate student at Zhejiang University, what are your next steps?"

Master's students generally graduate in three years, Yu Hong has already studied for one year, and there are still two years to choose the future path. She humbly asked, "Geng Wenyang, do you have any good suggestions?"

Geng Wenyang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think if you can have the opportunity to continue your studies, you still have to study, of course, it would be better if you could study abroad."

"Study abroad?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Hong's eyes and said, "I want to too, but I am shy in my pocket, and I have more than enough strength to do it!"

Geng Wenyang glanced at his wife and said, "You are a good friend of Lan Lan, I can sponsor you, but you must return to your motherland to work after graduation. Would you like to?"

Hearing that Geng Wenyang personally promised to fund himself, Yu Hong was overjoyed and said, "Of course I am willing! I was able to go to university and go to graduate school because of your blessings, and if you let me go back to China, I will definitely come back, and I will never break my promise."

"Not necessarily." Geng Wenyang shook his head and said, "The temptation of the flower world outside is too great, otherwise how could there be so many public students who would rather break the contract than stay in the United States. People are affected by the environment, and that's what you think now, but when you go, you won't have to."

Yu Hong said in a resolute tone: "I don't care about others, but I, Yu Hong, will definitely come back." I will do what I say, don't worry!"

Gan Ruolan saw her friend's true feelings, and said in her heart: "It seems that Yu Hong still misses Wen Yang. What should I do if they are both involved behind my back?"

On the one hand, her husband, on the other hand, her friends and best friends for many years, once these two people have a personal relationship, Gan Ruolan will really be in a dilemma.
