Rebirth 1983

Chapter 50 Lease of Factory
There is basically no skill in hoarding goods.

After all three decided on their ideas, they went straight to work.

According to the division of labor, Daniel went to many markets and vegetable markets in the county for the past few days, carefully investigated the market price increase of soybeans in recent months, as well as the nearby production and supply demand, and obtained more general data.

Chen Song brought Wang Yao and Xiao Yaoyao to the county, looking for a suitable house to use as a warehouse. However, there are not many houses in the county, and most of them are inhabited. In the end, the two wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one.

"We've been looking around for two days, but we haven't found a suitable place. I didn't expect to find a nice big house. It's more difficult than I imagined!"

Chen Song pulled the little girl, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained to Wang Yao.

"In fact, our county has a large population, but there are not many houses in the county. There must be houses that meet your requirements, but they are not so easy to find."

Wang Yao listened to Chen Song's complaints, nodded silently, and opened her mouth to relieve Chen Song's anxiety.

"It's almost evening, and we can't find a suitable place anymore, so we can only find a small house to make do with it." Chen Song hugged Xiao Yaotiao, who was weak and tired from walking, and said to Wang Yao helplessly.

"Let's look for it again."

Wang Yao knew what Chen Song was thinking. If the soybean business was really as he said, the price would rise crazily in the future, and the small house would definitely not be enough for them to stock up. After all, they had a huge sum of [-] yuan.

The two continued to search along the corners of the county, and as they walked, they came to the pedestrian street where crayfish were sold.

"Hey, the guy who bought the lobster."

The familiar voice reached Chen Song's ears. Chen Song hugged the sleeping little girl, turned his head to look, and saw the old man in the off-white T-shirt with the words "No. [-] Iron and Steel Factory" printed on it.

They are also their regular customers who have come here to buy lobsters, drink beer and eat supper in the past two months.

"Master, it's you, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing the familiar old man, Chen Song greeted with a smile, and gently put the little girl in Wang Yao's arms.

The little girl turned her head, pouted, and continued to sleep.

"Why haven't I seen you come out of the stall in the past two days? Many old customers are waiting for your lobster? I'm so hungry, but you are hanging out here?"

The uncle was holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand and shaking it vigorously, his expression was unkind, and he looked dissatisfied with desire.

"Master, it's not that we don't go out of the stall, it's because we don't have any crayfish. We have basically digested the lobsters in the past two months, so we don't plan to cook them once we add up."

When Chen Song heard the old man urging him to leave the stall, he couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that everyone hadn't eaten the crayfish after buying it for more than two months.

"How is it possible? It's only the end of August. How could the crayfish be gone?"

The uncle obviously didn't believe Chen Song's explanation, and walked forward with his tiger eyes.

"Master, don't get too excited. The season of crayfish is originally June, July, and August. The number of crayfish decreases as you get to the end. In addition, I have tens of catties every day for the past few months. We really don't have any."

Chen Song persuaded him well, and told the uncle about the matter in detail, so that the uncle calmed down.

"Forget it, since the raw materials are really gone, forget it, I thought it was an excuse for you not wanting to sell the stall, and I was thinking of finding a few regular customers to look for you together!"

The uncle shook his fan and hummed a few times.

Chen Song couldn't answer the question, so he smiled awkwardly, turned his head and spread his hands to Wang Yao, expressing that he was fine.

"By the way, what are you doing here? Seeing you wandering around, what are you doing?" The uncle put away the crayfish in his mind, and instead became curious about Chen Song's actions: "Could it be that you plan to sell some other stalls?"

The uncle's face was filled with joy, after all, after tasting Chen Song's crayfish, he would be interested in any snacks they will launch next.

"Master, you misunderstood, we are going to find a big house in the county to do something else!"

Chen Song fooled the uncle with half truth and half lie, didn't say what he wanted to do, just said that he wanted to find a big house.

"Big house, how big do you want?"

The uncle stopped shaking the fan, suddenly thought of something, and asked Chen Song.

"How big is it?" Chen Song was stunned for a moment when he heard the old man's question, then looked at Wang Yao, and seeing Wang Yao looking at him, Chen Song replied: "Of course, the bigger the better, the next business needs, so I want to make it bigger."

The uncle didn't know if he heard Chen Song's words clearly, so he took a fan and slapped himself in the stomach: "I do know a place, but it's a bit shabby, and the place is quite big. I wonder if you like it?"

"Grandpa, do you have a place to recommend?" Chen Song became interested, and hurriedly approached the uncle with a happy face, which made the uncle take two steps back in fright.

"Yes, yes, don't get so close, really." The uncle glanced at Chen Song who was startled, rolled his eyes at him, and then nodded slowly: "If you are really interested, come with me, and I will show you the place."

"Of course I'm interested, please ask the uncle to take us to have a look."

The uncle nodded, and led Chen Song and Wang Yao through the streets to a remote corner not far from the vegetable market.

What came into view was a small factory building that had been abandoned for a long time. The paint on the steel gate had peeled off a lot. The door was not broken, but the big lock on the door was broken.

On the sign next to this small factory building, there is still vaguely written the words of the No. [-] Iron and Steel Factory of the Commune.

The uncle tore off the big lock on the big iron door, pushed the door open, and led Chen Song and Wang Yao into the small factory.Chen Song saw the structure inside. This abandoned factory has a large factory building and a small factory building. The large factory building is estimated to occupy an area of ​​more than ten acres of land, and the small factory building also looks like five acres of land. The outside of the factory building is basically an open space overgrown with weeds.

"This is the former site of the No. [-] Iron and Steel Plant in our county. Seven or eight years ago, our iron and steel plant was going to be expanded, and the government asked us to move to another place. This place has been vacant and has been idle until now."

There was a trace of nostalgia in the uncle's eyes, and he looked at the factory full of weeds and remained silent.

Chen Song looked around, and the more he looked, the joy in his eyes became more intense.

"How about it, young man, does this place meet your requirements?" After a while, the uncle smiled, and the nostalgia in his eyes disappeared, and he asked Chen Song.

"It's really good. These two factories meet my requirements very well, but the size of the place is beyond my expectation. I may not need such a big place!"

Chen Song was troubled for a while, then remembered something, and asked quickly: "Master, how much does it cost to rent this place for a month? If it's too much, I definitely can't afford it."

"Hahaha, this place is remote, and there is nothing left. The most valuable thing is the land. If you really want to rent it, I can make the decision, one hundred a month!"

The uncle pointed to the factory.

"One hundred and one month." Chen Song rolled his eyes, and his soybean hoarding business was completed within these three months.Although such a large space is not actually used, it is better to have an open space than nothing.Just let Daniel bring a bed to guard the vacant space, the best of both worlds!
"Master, are you the leader of the steel factory? Can you still decide the price?"

Wang Yao became curious. This old man looked ordinary, and he was always wearing a washed beige steel factory T-shirt. It was hard to believe that he would be the leader.

"I'm just the manager of a steel factory who is about to retire." The uncle smiled and pointed at the factory: "Let's talk about whether to rent it or not. If you have an idea, let's go to the factory to sign the contract and seal it now. They will get off work when it is late."

Hearing this, Wang Yao quickly looked at Chen Song, who nodded slightly.

"Let's rent it, and the uncle will sign the contract now."

"Let's go. There are too many mosquitoes here, and I can't stay here."

The uncle brought them to the No. [-] Iron and Steel Plant, and the employees they met all called him the factory director, which made Chen Song and Wang Yao heave a sigh of relief. They had doubts about the identity of the uncle before and thought he was a liar.

Walking into the factory manager's office, the uncle started to draft a simple lease contract.

"How long do you plan to rent, young man?" The uncle raised his head and asked Chen Song halfway through writing.

"Let's rent it for half a year for now, and then we'll see if we want to continue it." Chen Song replied.

"That's fine, just write for half a year first."

After the uncle finished writing, he took out the chapter from the bottom drawer, pressed it with the ink pad, stamped the paper, and handed it to Chen Song.

Chen Song took over the lease agreement and took a look at it. Although the contract was not as complicated as later generations, there was no pitfall, so Chen Song directly signed it with his own name.

"Okay, that factory belongs to you for half a year, go and change the lock yourself!"

"Thank you boss!"
