Chapter 157: A Trip to Nanguang (Part I)
Zhang Ze took Tong Yuanhang to the bus station and went to the address left in the letter, that is, Yuexiu District.
Yuexiu District is the oldest central urban area of Yangcheng, and it is also one of the most prosperous places in Yangcheng in this era.
Zhang Ze is planning to buy a house here, and the housing prices here will be ridiculously high in the future!
If he can get a building or two, he can wear slippers and shorts and carry a sack to collect rent, and become the prettiest boy on the street.
But Zhang Ze doesn't have to think about the building now, at present, those high-rise commercial houses are all sold to foreigners, 400 per square meter.
This price seems to be the price of cabbage in the eyes of future generations, but it is still sky-high for most people who earn forty or fifty a month now.
Many of the houses are small two-story buildings next to the street, and the better ones have three floors with small yards.
The price of these houses is much lower than those sold to foreigners, which is also Zhang Ze's goal this time.
But now the first task is to find Tong Yuanhang's cousin first, and then go to his own business.
The train station is in Yuexiu District, and the guest house where Tong Yuanhang's cousin is located is also in Yuexiu District.
Walking into the guest house, Zhang Ze found that the place where foreign guests were received was different, other guest houses were basically aunts and uncles, but here was a young and beautiful young lady, and she would simply come to a few words of English.
Because they had already called when they came by train, they came directly to the front desk and asked, "Hello, we are here to find Lu Wenbin." I'm Zhang Ze, this is Tong Yuanhang, Lu Wenbin's cousin, please help us inform him. ”
Perhaps Lu Wenbin explained in advance, the front desk didn't seem surprised by their arrival, and dialed the phone in the room after agreeing.
It didn't take long for a formal young man in a suit to come to the hall, wearing a pair of glasses, who was five years older than Tong Yuanhang next year, but looked younger than him.
"Brother Bin!"
When Tong Yuanhang saw someone coming, he immediately shouted excitedly.
They played a lot as children and knew each other well. Although so many years have passed, my appearance is more mature, and I can still recognize it at a glance.
"Haha, Ah Hang!" Lu Wenbin was also very excited when he saw his cousin, and the relationship was good, so it would not become dull because of time, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to write to Lu Man.
Zhang Ze stood by and quietly watched the two brothers get together and did not disturb.
After a while, Tong Yuanhang remembered his brother-in-law beside him, and hurriedly pulled his cousin to introduce: "Brother Bin, this is Aze, Shuyao's husband." ”
Lu Wenbin shook Zhang Ze's hand with a smile: "Aze, I finally saw you in person." On the phone before, I was still thinking about what kind of man Shu Yao could look at, and sure enough, he was a talent. ”
No matter how true his words are, at least on the surface they are comfortable to touch.
The Lu family used to belong to the middle and upper group in Wenshui City, and most of the people in Wenshui City were very business-minded, especially the Lu family itself started with business.
So it was really not easy for them to go to Hong Kong Island at first, the language barrier, and the real wealth was not comparable to the capital that fled to Hong Kong Island in those places in the north.
However, with his flexible business acumen and adaptability, he quickly integrated into Hong Kong Island.
The Lu family used to be in the garment industry, and now it is also on Hong Kong Island.
Lu Wenbin came to Nanguang this time, in addition to looking for his aunt's family, he did have plans to build a garment factory in Nanguang.
After the opening of the domestic market, the Lu family saw the business opportunities inside.
The labor cost here is too far worse than that of Hong Kong Island, and the only worry is whether it will be repeated again in China.
But now that I have come as a foreign guest, it is relatively better.
There is a tradition in China that foreign guests are very attentive and polite.
After a few words of greeting, Lu Wenbin helped open a double bed room for them at the guest house for foreign guests, and made an appointment to go out to eat at night, so that they could wash up and rest first.
Walking into the room, Zhang Ze was a little surprised to see the layout inside.
It looks like a modern hotel, with two beds, a TV and an electric fan.
With a separate toilet, you can take a bath directly with hot water.
"Wow, this room is so good! There was also a TV and an electric fan. Hey, Aze, what is this? Compared with Zhang Ze, Tong Yuanhang completely shows the sense of déjà vu of rural people coming to the city.
"It's supposed to be air conditioning! Nanguang is hot in summer, and homes with particularly good conditions will install air conditioners. Zhang Ze explained that when he was in the car just now, he did vaguely see an air conditioner on the roof of a small western-style building.
The outer unit is very large, like a water storage tank in later generations. There are no exhaust vents on the side, which is facing upwards, which is very different from the air conditioning units of later generations.
His house is in a high-rise building, and it is estimated that Lu Wenbin specially opened an air-conditioned room for them.
Nanguang in May is already a little hot and dry, just like the early summer in June in Wenshui City.
The room was air-conditioned and they could sleep much more comfortably at night.
Zhang Ze picked up a small black remote control on the bedside table and found that the remote control was well made.
There is no text description at all, only icons.
Fortunately, the switch is red, at a glance, Zhang Ze pressed the red button, and the air conditioner turned on.
"it, why did this air conditioner suddenly move?" Tong Yuanhang was studying the TV set that he was more interested in, when the sudden start of the air conditioner startled him.
"Don't you feel hot, I'll turn on the air conditioner to cool down." Zhang Ze saw the twenty-five degrees Celsius displayed on the remote control and the cold air blowing from the air conditioner, and knew that the space had been set up, and he just turned it on.
So I put down the remote control, opened the duffel bag, took out my clothes, and prepared to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, he saw Tong Yuanhang standing at the air conditioner vent blowing a cold breeze with an expression of enjoyment.
At this time, the air conditioner had been turned on for a while, and the whole room was much cooler.
"Don't keep fighting the cold wind, it's easy to catch a cold."
"Hey, you came out of the shower? The wind blowing from this air conditioner is so comfortable, it is cold and cold, and it is not hot all of a sudden. ”
"Your cousin is good to you, so I deliberately opened an air-conditioned room. Okay, hurry up and take a shower and take a nap in the afternoon. ”
Zhang Ze drove Tong Yuanhang into the bathroom, told him to tell him shampoo and soap, and then taught him how to use the water heater, then came out and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
There was hardly any rest on the train, and it was tiring to sit all the time.
After sleeping for a while, the fatigue disappeared a lot, and after eating Cantonese food with Lu Wenbin in the evening, and feeling the characteristics of Nanguang and the liveliness of several streets, a few people went back.
Zhang Ze also made a call home to report his safety, and Tong Yuanhang naturally made a call back.
"Ahang Aze, when will you go back and bring your uncle and aunt over? When they come, I can take them to apply for documents so that they can go to Hong Kong Island to meet their grandparents. After making the call, several people came to Lu Wenbin's guest room and discussed business.
Zhang Ze groaned and said: "I think so, in the future, my parents will definitely go to Hong Kong Island often to see my grandparents, so instead of living in a guest house every time, I have to run back and forth between Wenshui City and Nanguang, it is better to buy a house here and settle down." ”
"This side is close to Hong Kong Island, so it's so convenient to go back and forth. Moreover, the environment of Nanguang is good, the geographical location is superior, and the development will definitely be faster than Wenshui City in the future, and it is much better to come here than to bring Wenshui City. ”
Lu Wenbin's eyes lit up: "It's okay, grandparents are not good to run around when they are old." If you all move here, it will be much easier to visit them. ”
"Then tomorrow we will go to buy a house, and in my capacity I can buy a house for you, you can calculate how many households there are, and then buy as many as you want."
The 401-square-meter building has no pressure on Lu Wenbin at all, just a small amount of money, and the housing prices here are very different from those on Hong Kong Island.
I don't know how many I can buy a 100-square-meter house over there, but for him, it would be best if my aunt's family was willing to settle here.
But for Lu Wenbin's generosity, Zhang Ze chose to refuse: "I'll buy the house on my side!" In addition, I don't recommend buying a house, because the building is on the upper floor, and the space is small, which is very unfree for us who like to grow a la carte in the yard. Tomorrow I'll take a stroll around Nanguang to see if there's a suitable place. ”
"But when the time comes to buy a house, you still have to come forward with your cousin, and if you come forward to help, we can buy a house much easier."
Hearing that Zhang Ze wanted to buy a house by himself, Lu Wenbin glanced at him in surprise.
He has learned a lot about the current situation in China recently, after all, if you want to establish a garment factory, understanding the local consumer income is only the most basic.
Judging from the current per capita income, it is not so simple for people who can afford to buy a house!
He suddenly felt that he might have lost his eyes, and this cheap cousin-in-law seemed to have some ability.
Lu Wenbin naturally agreed to his request. If he wants to invest and build a factory here, the local government will definitely give the green light.
Of course, it is easy to help his relatives buy a house, otherwise Zhang Zetong sailed away rashly to buy a house in a poor and remote place by the sea to become a fisherman, and he was afraid that he would be mistaken for an enemy or a smuggler.
After all, rich people who go to fishing villages to live by the sea and live a hard life!
The next day, Zhang Ze took Tong Yuanhang to walk outside.
Yesterday they walked around the lively streets, and today they went to a little more off-center.
Compared with the various square buildings in the center, the houses in the partial locations are all low-rise old houses with red bricks and tiles.
These are no problems for Zhang Ze, he does not plan to settle in Yuexiu District, he just wants to know about the housing prices, just have a number in his heart.
His purpose has always been simple, that is, to harm the South China Sea.
So he needs to live close to the sea, and the first choice in his heart is naturally Pengcheng.
However, Pengcheng is still only a small county town, and most of the small fishing villages near the coast are not good.
And there are a lot of second-rate people, and when the time comes, knowing that he has money will definitely come over to find trouble.
Pengcheng has no historical and cultural heritage, there don't seem to be many local residents, and then the population is more and more are all foreign population, and it can be developed in a few years.
So this time, his main target is Yangcheng's famous Lianhuashan Fishing Port in later generations.
