Wealth has always touched people's hearts.

As soon as Zhou Baotai got Jiang Wenwu's call the next day, he ran over.

Because although Jiang Wenwu said it clearly, he didn't understand some of the terms in it.

In addition, he also wanted to be close to Han Huaiyi, so he hurried to the sailor training base.

Han Huaiyi was contacting Dewitt at this time.

There were too many things going on in Shanghai, and he didn't have time to accompany him through the iron ore mortgage process for the time being, so he asked Wei Litao to represent him.

Wei Litao understands both foreign language and foreign affairs, and can also talk to Xiangshuai.

Besides, Han Huaiyi doesn't want to get too close to Dewitt at the moment.

The transformation of the steel furnace is a big job, and the interests involved in this matter are too large and complex to be overcome.

The only solution is to open the bidding and let the foreigners check and balance each other, so that Han Huaiyi can settle easily.

So his attitude was very resolute.

Zhou Baotai stood outside the door and listened to him respectfully after listening to his foreign words, and then called "Brother Yungong" and said something such as "You let Litao not have to give face to these foreign devils", "Since Xiangshuai agrees, then go directly to the procedure", "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, the words must be clear", "If they play ghosts, let Litao lift the table, and I will go over to clean them up immediately" and so on.

Zhou Baotai was linked to the rumors of the renovation of the Hanyang Iron Works.

"Affectionate Xiangshuai really handed over the business of millions of taels of silver to him." Zhou Baotai was speechless.

He was a Chinese with his feet in the Qing court, and he was born with a reverence for the government.

So when Han Huaiyi called him in, the old man actually took the initiative to make a thousand.

Han Huaiyi was stunned: "Vice President Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhou Baotai smiled dryly and said that he had donated to a petty official, and he had just heard what you said, so I would give you a good impression.

Han Huaiyi couldn't cry or laugh: "This is the concession, don't fix these things, straighten my waist for me." Then she asked him what was the matter.

Zhou Baotai said truthfully that he didn't understand how to get 500 townhouses and how much it cost.

Han Huaiyi patted his head: "I drank too much wine yesterday and called Jiang Wenwu, but I forgot to tell him the cost and concept of the townhouse." ”

He immediately took out a pen and paper, drew on it, and then explained to Zhou Baotai: "Townhouses are two-family and three-family buildings that share one wall. The simplest analogy is to use a brick wall to separate the warehouse from room to room, and open the door independently. ”

"So that's the case, then Mr. Han, you have a unified standard and cost."

Han Huaiyi has long planned for this, and the so-called resettlement house is equivalent to the barracks dormitory model.

He said: "Each single room is 2.5 meters high, 5 meters wide and 8 meters deep, and there are compartments in the front door and back window. Six households in a row. Three rows in one column. ”

Then he drew a row of low walls in the middle of the two rows of resettlement houses, saying, "This is a kitchen, and the two families share one room." ”

"And then there's hygiene." After Han Huaiyi kept painting a community-scale "military camp" in his hands, he drew a public toilet downwind of the isolation wall.

Then he told Zhou Baotai that as long as this kind of house has a frame, they can make it themselves.

As for masonry materials, you can find Jiang Wenwu.

Therefore, the cost of a steel structure warehouse with a length of 30 meters, a height of 2 meters and a width of 8 meters is only 100 taels of silver.

500 households, is almost 80 warehouses.

a total of 8,000 taels of silver.

After settling the accounts, Han Huaiyi told Zhou Baotai: "When we bought these people's houses, we bought them at 30 taels, but these poor people didn't have much money, so they converted it into their wages and deducted it." What kind of wages, I have already taken care of them yesterday, and let these poor people go in groups of ten to fill in the swamps and get land, and give them a total of three taels of silver for each acre. ”

Zhou Baotai understood when he heard this: "In this way, the more houses we have, the more land in the swamp will be." ”

"Equip them with cars, collect garbage and waste all over Shanghai, and get environmental subsidies from the Public Board of Directors, which I will also talk about, and then hand it over to a builder like you."

"Then Mr. Han, what are the ten acres of land you are talking about?"

"Fifty houses for one acre of land, these are inconspicuous now, but how much do you think they will be worth in a few years?" Han Huaiyi asked him.

Zhou Baotai was already moved, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Han, will the French Concession really expand westward?" ”

"This is inevitable, everyone knows it, not to mention can't you see that this piece of land is on the edge of my five hundred acres?" Han Huaiyi knocked on the table: "8,000 taels minus the subsidy given by the Board of Directors, it will cost 6,000 taels at most, where can you buy the equivalent of ten acres of land on Nanjing Road!" ”

Zhou Baotai's eyes sparkled and said, "What about the building above?" ”

"Didn't there be a subcontract when the westward expansion and development, I will ask the public board of directors to agree to exchange these ten acres of land for the development area you are responsible for, and you use your own land to build your own house, how many times can you estimate how much you can earn from these 6,000, Zhou million!"

Zhou Baotai was completely relieved when he heard this, and arched his hand and said: "Mr. Han is benevolent and righteous, and it is all thanks to Mr. Han's gift to have this opportunity in the future." ”

"Boss Zhou." Han Huaiyi smiled: "It's not my gift, the opportunity is my own." First of all, you were happy enough yesterday to support me in establishing the Construction Industry Association. In addition, this matter is to wipe the ass of the public board of directors, and you are willing to take the money out. Then there will be such an opportunity, so if you want to be thankful, you might as well thank yourself for your own vision. ”

He said this, but Zhou Baotai didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said again: "Anyway, I want to thank Mr. Han." ”

Han Huaiyi made a plan for him again at this time, because people spent thousands of taels of silver.

And the financial pressure of businessmen and the perspective of each person are different.

You have to be in charge of things, you have to establish rules, you have to make everyone eat and make money, you have to do everything.

will not empathize, only rely on strong pressure to eventually collapse.

So Han Huaiyi thought very carefully, and then he said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this between you and me." But I'll put the ugly words in front of me, westward expansion will not start in a while, so if you can't wait, you can also exchange benefits in another way. ”

"In what way?"

"Bungalows in the fire zone." Han Huaiyi said: "If anyone is not willing to wait for future opportunities, then let him exchange for a bungalow or apartment rebuilt in the fire area." 100 resettlement houses for a three-storey bungalow, or 10 apartments. ”

Zhou Baotai was a businessman after all, and when he heard this, he said: "Then Mr. Han, can we be half and half." ”

Han Huaiyi was amused by him: "Are you stupid, if you have enough funds, you can get a bungalow, and then wait for the development and appreciation of nine acres of land is the right way." If those who don't have a good turnover, you can suggest that they change to a bungalow to live in by themselves, and the others take an apartment, and then rent out the apartment to earn money. ”
