Chapter 732 Investment
Xie Zhiyao ran to a construction site in the village in panic. The boss here was brought over by Huang Xinxin before. He invested money to open a B&B in the village. He thought that he could live by himself and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers, and it would also be considered an investment. .
It had always been good before, but in the past month or so, the workers in the village have not been paid. Today, the workers quit and gathered together to surround Huang Xinxin, clamoring for wages. If they don't pay, they will destroy the building. Some of the structures that were put up were demolished.
These people were all arranged by Xie Zhiyao. After all, they were working in front of their homes. No one was willing to travel that far unless they could go out. Now that their wages are being owed, Xie Zhiyao of course wants to give an explanation.
Of course Xie Zhiyao was well-known in the village. Before he came back, he was the most promising person in the village. He was admitted to a key university and worked in the capital. Now that he has returned to the village and taken over so many money-losing industries, the villagers laugh at him, but some people also respect him, and it can be seen that he really wants to make the village better.
So Xie Zhiyao came to the construction site, talked earnestly, presented facts and reasons, and came up with solutions, finally appeasing these brothers, brothers, uncles and uncles.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Huang Xinxin let out a long breath: "You don't know, they are talking to themselves and don't listen to what I say at all, just two words, give money. What I said is that the mouth is dry, My throat is almost burning. Let’s go and buy a bottle of water.”
While talking, she pulled Xie Zhiyao towards the outside of the construction site.
Xie Zhiyao frowned and asked, "What's going on with this boss?"
"I don't know either. I called him before and said he was raising money. You have seen this boss before. He is not short of money. He opened this B&B because he was tired of big cities and wanted to find us. I don’t know what’s going on in this place with beautiful scenery and good weather. I haven’t been paid for almost two months. Let alone the people who work in the village, I’m worried.”
"Didn't say anything else?"
"I didn't say anything. I guess something happened. Otherwise, this B&B is half-built, and the rent has been paid for five years in one go. Now it's still hundreds of thousands. It's impossible for him to run away. How stupid is that? If you can’t do it anymore, why don’t you move this place? This is all money.”
"It's not like you don't know how our place has improved so much? Who will take over..." Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huang Xinxin, "Do you think Teacher Wang can do it?"
Huang Xinxin was also stunned: "Ask me, when he came, didn't he just say that he was tired from running around and wanted to find a place to retire? He has been in our village for more than a month, and he even shot a promotional video for us about history, culture, customs, and culture. After understanding everything about people, you should have made a decision on whether to invest, right? He is not short of money. He can invest one million for Master Ma without seeing anything. We don’t have that much investment in this B&B. ”
Xie Zhiyao thought for a moment and nodded: "In this case, you first call the boss and ask him if he still wants to do it and whether he can do it. Let's go to Teacher Wang and ask him to see what he is doing. What's the plan? Next, let's go to the nearby construction sites to see if there are any day workers, and arrange them for them. There are so many people who can't be idle, and we can't make any money. have eaten?"
"I'll call him right now and ask him what his plans are."
While talking, Huang Xinxin didn't care whether there was smoke in her throat or not, she quickly took out her mobile phone and called the owner of the B&B.
This time, the boss didn't hide it, and roughly explained the reason. His wife had bone cancer, his relatives were seriously ill, and they were even admitted to the ICU. He was spending money like water, and he really couldn't bear it recently. Now Huang Xinxin took the initiative to ask if she wanted to change hands, and the boss didn't hesitate. But he also knew that things were not going to get better here, so he didn't force it. If he could, he would change his hands. If he couldn't, he would stop work first. After a while, the situation there would be stable. Let’s talk later. He also said that he would try to collect the wages as much as possible and wait ten days and a half.
After a tragic encounter, she had a good attitude and full sincerity. Huang Xinxin just cried and wiped away her tears after hanging up the phone. Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh. Hearing other people's misfortunes always makes him feel a little sad.
When the two of them arrived at the small courtyard, one was silent, the other had red and swollen eyes...
Wang Yan was sitting at the long dining table in the kitchen editing a video. After a month of filming, the inside and outside of Yunmiao Village had been photographed, even the fruit trees on the mountain.
This was also a very enjoyable month. As he said, it was really about eating, drinking and having fun, all at Xie Zhiyao's own expense, and he didn't even pay the village committee's account. He took Xu Hongdou with him for continuous shooting and experience, which was very enjoyable. Xu Hongdou was still thinking about her relatives thousands of miles away, as well as Chen Nanxing's parents. Just like in the original drama, she had to pay for anything to eat and drink and send express delivery at her own expense.
So now it’s time for post-production editing, rendering, soundtrack and other work. In response to the unanimous request of Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin, we only slightly render it without over-beautifying it, and try to keep the original flavor of Yunmiao Village, otherwise tourists will not see anything right when they come. , that would be bad...
Looking at the two of them, Wang Yanqi said: "Looking at you two like this, what is going on? Is it related to me?"
Xie Zhiyao nodded and shook his head and said, "Teacher Wang, how long will it take to finish editing?"
"Three or four days, it's only a few tens of seconds, and there are still three or two minutes of video that I can give you now. I have already cut out a few of them, and they are all separate, such as scenery, food and so on."
"Oh, I'll ask my employees to come over this afternoon, and you can talk to them. Oh, by the way, where are Da Mai and Hong Dou? I know Nana took a leave today, so did they go out to play together?"
"They went shopping in the city." Wang Yan nodded, and looked at him, what else could he say.
Xie Zhiyao was indeed speechless, and his mood was obviously not there. He continued: "Teacher Wang, you said before that you had the idea of investing. You helped us shoot the promotional video and walked through every corner of Yunmiao Village. I guess many of our local villagers don't know as much as you do. I wonder what your plan is?"
Wang Yan glanced at the two of them and nodded in understanding: "The homestay that was under construction in the village can't continue, and you want me to take over?"
"Great, you guessed it before we said it." Huang Xinxin, with red eyes, spoke directly, "It's like this, the owner of the homestay had some problems, and the funds were not turning over, so he planned to sell it. It just so happened that you had the idea of investing, right? The main structure of this homestay is basically completed. It will be completed in another month, and we can start decorating directly. Moreover, the boss found a designer friend to do a full set of design, and all the drawings can be given to you, which saves a lot of trouble, right? It's really cost-effective, Mr. Wang, would you consider it? "
"I am very confident in the promotional video I edited. As long as your copywriting is not too bad and the voice actors are of average level, it will definitely be effective after it is released. If you are willing to spend money on marketing, the effect will definitely be better. Yunmiao Village will definitely have more tourists in the future than it does now. A while ago, I heard you say that you wanted to find Shaohua Bookstore to come over. Investing in opening a shop, if successful, can also play a positive role in promoting the business. By then, the price of this homestay will be different.
So I think you should communicate with the villagers to see if they want to take over. If no one wants it, I can pay to take over. I don’t want to conflict with your villagers, and I don’t want to have these shitty things. "
Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, figured out the relationship, and smiled bitterly: "Teacher Wang, you think really far ahead, and it seems that you have more confidence than us. The investment in Shaohua Bookstore is still in contact, and the specific situation cannot be determined. Regarding the promotional video, we certainly believe in your photography skills, but we don’t have Ability marketing can only be posted online and fermented naturally. It is still unknown how effective it is and how many tourists it can attract.
To be honest, I have never heard good things from them in the past few years since I came back. Whether it is the horse farm, the small courtyard, or the small restaurant, I took it over because no one wanted it. Now they will not want this homestay anymore, and will only say more sarcastic words. People want to get rich. If it is really like what you said, the village will definitely make trouble for a while, but don't worry, Teacher Wang, if someone really makes trouble with you, it will all be on my head and I will solve it. "
Of course, Wang Yan knew these things, but he just said it first. He really didn't like to waste words with those people. Because they actually knew what was going on, but they just wanted to make a fuss. Now that Xie Zhiyao said so, that's enough.
He nodded: "Then you call the people over to discuss the money."
Huang Xinxin shook her head and said: "No, we can decide. The boss has already told us the price. Counting the five-year rent, construction materials, labor costs, etc., the total cost so far is 430,000. Because he is in a hurry to use the money, and our place is not easy to change, so 30,000 is written off, and it only takes 400,000 to make a whole. Oh, by the way, the house is signed for 20 years, and it will be paid every five years, and the rent will increase according to the actual situation. Teacher Wang, what do you think of this price? This is really the lowest. If it is less, he plans to stop construction and not sell it for the time being."
Wang Yan took a look at the homestay when he passed by. It is located in the southernmost part of the village, with no obstructions, a wide view, and a much larger area than the windy courtyard. The overall architectural style is that of the Bai people's houses, but it has been slightly modified. There are two two-story buildings, one large and one small, and two one-story wing rooms, surrounded on all sides, with a fairly large courtyard in the center. The large two-story building is estimated to have 10 or 8 guest rooms, and the small building should be the living space for the owner.
Now only the large framework is done. If you want to build it completely, plus the decoration, it will probably cost 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. If the decoration is better, you will have to spend a lot more money. The overall cost is about one million yuan. Of course, this money can be used to open a store near Erhai Lake, but it is just because the area here is larger, and the decoration is better, and there is a better living experience, but life is not very convenient, not as good as in the city.
If the situation is good, it will take about four or five years to recover the investment, and if it is not good, it will take five, six, seven or eight years. However, the current boss wants to enjoy life. It is obviously not too important to make money or not. It is okay as long as there is no loss. Otherwise, he would not be so desperate to build a homestay in Yunmiao Village. Perhaps it is just for the beautiful scenery and quietness.
Wang Yan is of course clear about the situation of this boss, but the time of this drama is not too accurate. When he mentioned the investment and saw Huang Xinxin's red eyes, he knew it.
In fact, he originally planned to take over this B&B. First of all, since everyone is here, let’s have some fun. Secondly, this can be regarded as a connection with Damai. After all, it is the mission goal. If he leaves, people from all over the world will just leave after chatting. Besides, since he was dating Xu Hongdou, he couldn't always chat with others, and they couldn't always chat with him...
Wang Yan nodded: "I can tell by the way you wipe your tears that the experience of this B&B owner is not very good. I won't lower the price. That's all. Let him come over as soon as possible. It will be done quickly and quickly."
Huang Xinxin clapped her hands happily: "Okay, I'll call him right now."
As soon as they said it was done, the two went out to make phone calls. After a while, Xie Zhiyao came back and said, "He will come over next week to take over. Teacher Wang, can we discuss something first?"
"Tell me."
"That's it. This boss, due to funding problems, has not paid wages to the workers in our village for almost two months. Do you think this will work? You can pay the wages first. At the same time, don't stop work on this construction site. Keep working. You can finish it as soon as possible, but there is still a lot to do in a week."
Seeing Wang Yan smiling and not saying anything, Xie Zhiyao continued, "In fact, those workers are all from the village. They have been a family for several generations. I asked them to stay at home and work. Now they have stopped working. Your livelihood will also be affected. But don’t worry, Teacher Wang, I will definitely not let you suffer. I will guarantee it and we will implement it in writing. If the B&B owner breaks the contract, then the wages you paid in advance, as well as the labor and material costs of starting the construction in advance. , it’s all on me.”
"You've said so, so what's wrong? Do you have the details of this work? Don't let anything messy happen again."
"Everything is available. Don't worry, Teacher Wang, it will definitely be accurate."
"That's okay, wait, I'll get pen and paper, sign the contract and pay them directly. You contact the workers in the village and ask them to come to the construction site. I don't have cash in my hand. Weixin scans the QR code to pay."
"Okay, I'll make a call right now."
Xie Zhiyao happily took out the contact on his mobile phone. He was very happy and solved the matter easily. Everyone was happy. Moreover, Wang Yan is more powerful, which is obviously better for them here.
Soon, Wang Yan signed a contract with Xie Zhiyao, and Huang Xinxin served as a witness. He even recorded the video with his mobile phone. He did it very thoroughly in order to completely reassure Wang Yan.
After signing the contract, the three of them set off to the construction site of the B&B. Workers from the village lined up and he scanned the QR code one by one to pay. There are a total of sixteen workers working here. According to different types of work, the wages are different. On average, each person is about 200, but they don't have to take care of lunch.
After paying the wages, the workers were dismissed directly. They would rest today and come back tomorrow. The two leaders were left behind. Wang Yan asked them for the drawings, looked at the completed parts in detail, and made some changes to the building. He is a master of architectural design. It’s okay if he doesn’t build a house. If he does build a house, he will still have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have learned in vain before?
I basically did nothing this afternoon, except to change the original design, and I also had to explain to the two leading workers how to change it. Both of them are veteran workers who can read pictures, so it’s not a problem for them to talk about it and they can understand it.
Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin had been accompanying him all the time, helping to make suggestions, and Wang Yan refused to leave. But they didn't expect that Wang Yan could also do architectural design.
Finally, the architectural design process was completely completed, and it was confirmed that everything could be completed. The two leaders accepted another two hundred red envelopes from Wang Yan and returned home happily. When the work is bigger and more done, of course I feel happy.
"Teacher Wang, if you renovate the building, the cost will be higher. You also know the situation in Yunmiao Village. I'm afraid you will lose money." Xie Zhiyao told the truth, but still wanted to persuade him.
Huang Xinxin nodded fiercely: "No, Teacher Wang, would you please consider it more carefully?"
"No, I've opened a B&B in your Yunmiao Village. Do you think I want to make money? After my changes, the view of this two-story self-occupied building is better and the living is more comfortable. At the same time, the guest rooms are also on the same floor. It takes into account lighting and vision as much as possible, and it also looks more beautiful. It’s pleasing to the eye and comfortable to live in. It doesn’t matter whether you pay or not.”
Wang Yan spoke lightly and regarded money as dung.
"Okay, then we won't say more. But Teacher Wang, you can rest assured about the construction materials and future decoration materials. One is my junior high school classmate and the other is my high school classmate. They are both very close to each other and the price is absolutely right." Fair and quality guaranteed. Again, if anything goes wrong, just come to me.”
Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands: "It's time to have dinner. Teacher Wang, let's go to Gesanghua. I'll treat you to dinner."
"Forget it, we can eat at any time. I have already made an agreement with them before. They will bring some snacks back, and I will go to Gesanghua's to pack eight large bowls, and we will have a sumptuous meal together in the evening."
"Is there any event?"
"It's Damai's birthday, and Nana said she wanted to give him a surprise."
Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands: "Oh, such a good thing, I, as the landlord, must also participate. Let's buy more vegetables and celebrate Damai's birthday together. Xinxin called Xiaochun and asked her to prepare longevity noodles. Let's go to Gesanghua together. We need to buy more wine. Damai's birthday is coming, and Teacher Wang invested in Yunmiao Village. This is a double happiness. Teacher Wang, let's have a good drink tonight."
"Okay, let's go..."
