After Qin Hai settled down with Ning Mo and others, he went on a business trip with Lu Xiaolin and Heizi. Xia Yangjie submitted his resignation letter to Yang Xinyu and concentrated on researching the subject of fiber-wrapped resin, so he could not go out with Qin Hai and others.
Qin Hai has found several more enthusiastic teachers from other universities as specially appointed experts for the working group. Depending on the content of the investigation, he will bring different people with him and travel to various places, which is enough to bluff people.
With the letters of introduction issued by the Localization Office, Ning Mo and three other people went to Pujiang Automobile Factory to learn driving for a week, and then all obtained their driving licenses, becoming the first batch of non-professional drivers in China. In the days that followed.
, they drove the Pusang car and began to look for a suitable site for Qin Hai's material technology service company.
In those days, Pujiang was the most powerful place in the world. All sites belonged to various units, and there was no such thing as a development zone or headquarters base where factories and offices could be rented out. Liu Yaozhong’s Dongyao Plastic Factory
There was a large area of free space, and he was willing to lend it to Qin Hai and the others. After some consideration, Qin Hai rejected Liu Yaozhong's kindness. The reason for his refusal was that he did not want to mix two different units.
Firstly, secondly, it was considered that Dongyao Plastic Factory is located in a suburban county with inconvenient transportation, which is not conducive to recruiting research talents.
Ning Mo and others took the map and walked through the streets and alleys, looking for venues everywhere, almost wearing out the tread on the tires, but still found nothing. What they didn't expect in the end was that the landlord, Zhou Quanmei, turned out to be the gangster.
They solved the problem.
Ever since she discovered that several tenants from out of town actually had a brand new Pusang car, Zhou Quanmei no longer regarded them as ordinary "country people". From time to time, she would run over to visit a few young people.
They served them some side dishes from home. Among these people, Yu Haitao was the most troublesome. His aunt was taller than her younger aunt, which confused Zhou Quanmei. During this period, Yu Haitao also diligently drove Zhou Quanmei to her.
After going there to do two things, Zhou Quanmei made a big splash in front of her relatives. From then on, Zhou Quanmei became even more enthusiastic towards these young people.
That time, several young people came back exhausted from outside very late, and met Zhou Quanmei in the kitchen making supper. Zhou Quanmei asked with concern how their affairs were going, and Yu Haitao sighed: "Alas.
Now I know how valuable land is, and it’s really not easy to find a venue in Pujiang.”
"What venue are you looking for?" Zhou Quanmei asked while stirring egg droplets in a bowl.
Yu Haitao said: "Our Beixi Second Steel Plant wants to build a research institute in Pujiang and rent a site of dozens of acres. But after traveling for so many days, people said that unless we go to the outer suburbs and counties around the city,
You definitely can’t find it.”
Yu Haitao's statement was the caliber agreed between Qin Hai and them. If it were to build a private technology service company, it would be several times more difficult to rent land. It is relatively common for foreign companies to build liaison offices in Pujiang.
As for the incident, Beixi No. 2 Steel Plant's background is big enough, so it is not easy to arouse others' vigilance.
"A few dozen acres?" Zhou Quanmei frowned and thought for a moment. Then she asked, "If you want to build a research institute, do you need a house above it?"
Yu Haitao said: "It doesn't matter whether the house is a house or not. If we don't have a house, we can just build it ourselves. However, we hope that the rental period will be longer. Otherwise, it will not be cost-effective to build a house."
"Is that so? How about I go ask for you." Zhou Quanmei said.
Yu Haitao regarded Zhou Quanmei's words as a casual chat and didn't take it seriously. Who knew. Two days later, Zhou Quanmei actually knocked on Yu Haitao's door and handed him a small note with a message written on it.
Address, an organization name, a contact name and a phone number.
"This is..." Yu Haitao asked in surprise.
"This company has a venue that may suit your needs. However, you have to discuss the specific matters. This person is their manager." Zhou Quanmei pointed to the name on the note and said.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Yu Haitao dialed the contact number early the next morning. The contact person's name was Peng Xingzong. The position written on the note was the manager of the fourth branch of Pujiang Second Construction Company. It sounded like
He's not a big official either.
After hearing Yu Haitao introduce himself, Peng Xingzong responded lightly and said, "I know about this. If you are interested, come and talk."
These days, everyone has become accustomed to all kinds of disappointments. When they heard that there was such a clue, several people became excited. They quickly packed up, drove to Pujiao University to pick up Xia Yangjie, and then went straight to the old school.
The address somewhere on Puhuang Highway.
Pujiang people have always been very meticulous in their work. When Peng Xingzong met with Yu Haitao, he estimated in advance that Yu Haitao was not familiar with geography. He explained all the road signs clearly on the phone, even how many meters to walk after passing a certain canteen.
The twists and turns were exactly the same. After the Pusang car drove around on the maze-like road for an hour, a dilapidated factory door appeared in front of everyone. The mottled paint on the door plate read: Pujiang City Second Building
The company's fourth branch machine repair shop.
"Is this Xiao Yu from Anhe?" A man in a Chinese tunic suit stood at the gate of the factory and asked the people in the car.
"I'm Xiao Yu." Yu Haitao opened the door and jumped out of the car, asking, "Excuse me, are you Manager Peng?"
"Yes, I am Manager Peng." The man was not polite and called him by his official position. However, he didn't have any official airs. When he saw a few people coming by car, he walked up and helped them personally.
He opened the factory door and let them drive the car into the factory area.
It is said to be a factory area, but the area is actually not very big. It is only about thirty or forty acres according to visual inspection. There are walls around the factory area, and there is a standard single-story factory building inside, as well as several rows of bungalows. On an empty field, some piles are piled up.
The rusty construction machinery was so rotten that it was only worth re-smelting. The factory area was covered with waist-high weeds, indicating that no one had entered the place for at least three to five years.
"This place has been deserted for several years, and we can't find a place to sit. Let's just stand here and talk." Peng Xingzong pointed to the factory area and said to everyone.
"Isn't this your company's machine repair shop? Why is it deserted?" Qin Rongqing asked strangely.
Peng Xingzong said: "We used to do engineering work here, so we allocated a piece of land and built a machine repair shop. Now that our construction site has moved to the west, we can't just send the equipment all the way here for repairs."
?So this place is deserted.”
"You mean, you built a new machine repair shop over there?" Xia Yangjie asked.
"That's for sure." Peng Xingzong replied disapprovingly.
I sell cakes... Ning Mo and others put their hands on their foreheads. They were as tired as dogs. They were looking for a place everywhere but couldn't find it. How could such a branch company be able to build a new machine repair shop on a different construction site and then put the old
What's the point of using the machine repair shop's space to grow grass?
“Mr.
Only Xia Yangjie knows the site and working conditions best.
Xia Yangjie nodded and said: "It's appropriate! If we can rent all this space, these bungalows can be used as research laboratories, and the workshops can be converted into laboratories and experimental factories. In the future, if we have money, we can also build a few more houses next to it.
, this is a perfect institute.”
"So, we can consider renting this place?" Yu Haitao said.
"It's absolutely okay." Xia Yangjie said.
"In your opinion, what is the appropriate annual rent for this piece of land?" Yu Haitao asked again.
This confused Xia Yangjie. He was a scholar, and he had never studied such a thing. There was no mature real estate market at that time. Xia Yangjie tried to find some second-hand information for comparison, but couldn't find it, so it was impossible for him to answer Yu Haitao.
The problem.
Seeing Xia Yangjie's confused look, Yu Haitao knew that he was asking questions blindly. He threw away Xia Yangjie, pulled Ningmo over, and discussed with him the lowest price for renting a venue. Ningmo also had no experience in renting land, but for
He had some understanding of the company's operating costs. He and Yu Haitao murmured for a while, and finally agreed that if the annual rent could be controlled below 100,000 yuan, then they could consider renting it.
This factory area covers an area of 40 acres. If the annual rent is 100,000 yuan, it is equivalent to 2,500 yuan per mu per year, which is about 4 yuan per square meter.
According to the land use management regulations formulated by the Pujiang Municipal Government at that time, if foreign-funded enterprises want to occupy land for construction, the annual usage fee per square meter for special-grade areas is 60 to 100 yuan based on industrial, warehousing and transportation land standards.
50 to 90 yuan, and the lowest level of urban land is 3 to 9 yuan per square meter. Ningmo and Yu Haitao don't know what level the area where the machine repair shop is located is, but the psychological price they negotiated is how much
It's also reliable.
When Ning Mo and others were discussing in private, Peng Xingzong did not disturb them. Instead, he looked around in the small factory area, tearing off a few weeds from time to time, as if he wanted to make the factory area tidy. He saw Yu Haitao and Ning
Mo stopped muttering, and when he walked towards him, Peng Xingzong smiled slightly and asked: "How is it? Have we discussed it?"
"We've discussed it," Yu Haitao said, "We think this place is more suitable for us, but we just don't know how much it will cost to rent such a place for a year."
"We don't want money." As soon as Peng Xingzong said this, everyone was shocked.
