[Thank you friends for your monthly votes. Because the weather is so cold that my hands hurt, Xiaoshu only does single updates every day. I feel very sorry for everyone’s support. I will resume double updates when the weather gets warmer.]
Shen Chi's thoughts at this moment were like a spurt. The pen in his hand was sketching quickly, and sketches were quickly drawn one after another.
After drawing until about eleven o'clock, Shen Chi put down the pencil in his hand, nodded with satisfaction at the results of more than two hours of work, and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, Shen Chi didn't even bother to have breakfast and went to Leigong Lake with a pen and drawing book.
Looking at the lakes and mountains in front of him, Shen Chi drew the thoughts in his heart again. This lasted for another hour before he stopped painting and went to the town.
After seeing my godmother Liu Cuihua, I went to the bakery.
With the closing of the year in recent years, the store's business is extremely busy. Not to mention Gan Lamei's farmer's market, Zhang Hao's milk tea shop is also doing very well.
The egg shop next to the milk tea shop was renovated by Huang Dong and turned into a stir-fry shop.
The two helpers Shen Chi arranged for him were not enough, so Huang Dong hired another person from the town.
Seeing that the store's business is so good, Shen Chi is also happy for everyone.
When Huang Dong and the others were almost busy, Shen Chi entered the store.
"Big boss, you're here!" Seeing Shen Chi's arrival, several people hurriedly greeted him.
"I've been here for a while, but I didn't come in when I saw you guys were busy." Shen Chi replied with a smile.
"You came just in time. I just want to ask you to report on the operating income of each store this year." Huang Dong said to Shen Chi.
"What's the rush? We can wait until we have two days of rest to discuss this." Shen Chi replied.
"It will be too late in two days." Huang Dong whispered to Shen Chi: "The renovated community in Xiaojia Village has been completed and is now for sale. A 90-square-meter unit costs 200,000 yuan. Zhang Hao and the others want to build a house here.
They settled down and planned to buy one, but they only raised 100,000 yuan from relatives and friends in their hometown, which was still short of half.
The income of several of our stores this year is good, and I plan to lend my dividends to them, so I want to settle the account with you as soon as possible."
"Zhang Hao and the others are indeed very hardworking in their work. We can help if we can. You don't need to borrow the money personally. It will be kept in the public account." Shen Chi said to Huang Dong.
"Okay, I'll get the account book." Huang Dong said and was about to go to his temporary rest room.
"You're not busy, please bring me something to eat first. I haven't eaten yet this morning." Shen Chi said to Huang Dong.
Upon hearing this, Huang Dong hurriedly said: "Then I'll go next door and ask them to cook some vegetables for you."
"No need to bother, ask Xiaohui to bring me a cake and a cup of milk tea." Shen Chi stopped.
After hearing this, Huang Dong followed his instructions and made Shen Chi a cup of milk tea at the shop next door. He then went to the back kitchen to bake a cake and served it to him.
While Shen Chi was eating cake, Huang Dong also took out the account books and reported to him the income of several stores this year.
What Shen Chi didn't expect was that a small fry shop, a bread and cake shop and a milk tea shop could generate nearly 300,000 yuan a year.
Shen Chi did not calculate the accounts with Huang Dong in detail, but only took a rough look at the account books.
After confirming this year's income, Shen Chi pushed the account to Huang Dong, put the last piece of cake into his mouth, drank the milk tea, and then said to Huang Dong: "You calculated the salaries of all the clerks this year.
Everyone has worked hard in the last month, so I will give you an extra month as a bonus.
Then calculate Zhang Hao's dividends and give them to them. See how much is left and lend them this year's income.
Let them prepare an IOU, and the money will be deducted from their salary every month, or help them buy a house, so that they can work in our store with peace of mind."
"Okay, I will tell Zhang Hao and the others the news right now. They will be very happy to hear the news." Huang Dong said to Shen Chi with a smile.
Shen Chi looked at Huang Dong and said, "What about you? When they bought a house, didn't you think about buying one too?"
Ninety square meters is only 200,000 yuan, and at this time, there are no shared houses. If you say ninety square meters, it is really ninety square meters.
This is now. When Song Town becomes more famous in two years, it will be difficult to buy a house for 200,000 yuan in the surrounding houses.
Shen Chi remembered that the average price of the residential areas around Song Town in his previous life was more than 20,000 yuan per square meter. Now this price can be said to be a bargain price.
After hearing what Shen Chi said, Huang Dong said with a bitter look on his face: "How can I have money to buy a house now? You also know that I didn't save a penny because of my dad.
He was lucky enough to bet that our relatives and friends didn’t even have time to hide when they saw us, and they didn’t even have a place to borrow.
The improvement in the past two years is still due to your help, I plan to save money for two years first."
"According to the development momentum of our Song Town, the price of a house will fluctuate every year. If you don't buy it now while it's cheap, your savings will not be able to keep up with the increase in house prices over time," Shen Chi advised.
"I'm really short of money now." Huang Dong said secretly.
He is also very anxious about buying a house.
"How much money do you have on hand now?" Shen Chi asked.
"Only 40,000 to 50,000," Huang Dong replied.
"Let's do this. You take some time to go look at the house with Zhang Hao and the others, and I'll lend you the remaining money." Shen Chi said to Huang Dong.
"This... you just lent so much money to Zhang Hao, where did you get so much money?" Huang Dong asked with a surprised look on his face.
"The fertilizer factory's income this year is pretty good, and I still have enough money to borrow you to buy a house." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"Shen Chi, I really don't know how to thank you." Huang Dong said to Shen Chi with red eyes.
"If you really want to thank me, just help me open the store properly. This is the greatest reward for me." Shen Chi said jokingly.
"Of course, I also get dividends from the store." Huang Dong said with a smile.
He is really eager to buy a house, because where there is a house, he can run a home of his own.
He has been working and wandering outside these years, and his desire for home is stronger than anyone else.
Therefore, when Shen Chi offered to lend him money to buy a house, Huang Dong did not refuse.
Otherwise, given his personality, if it were for other things, he would not borrow so much money even if it was impossible.
I asked Huang Dong when he would view the house. Huang Dong said that the people in the sales department would be on vacation in two days and he planned to go over there tomorrow to take a look.
"Okay, I will send you the money tomorrow morning." Shen Chi said to Huang Dong.
"Shen Chi, thank you." Huang Dong expressed his sincere gratitude to Shen Chi.
"You have worked hard to help me take care of the store in the past two years, so just think of it as a salary advanced to you." Shen Chi said goodbye to Huang Dong and others and went home.
When passing Gan Lamei's farmer's supermarket, Teacher Huang's second daughter-in-law Huang Lianzhen came out and gave Shen a brown paper bag containing cash, saying it was this year's store rent.
Shen Chi told her not to worry. Huang Lianzhen said that the store's business was good this year and rented it to Shen Chi as normal.
Huang Lianzhen gave the money and went back to the store to go about her business. Shen Chi didn't go in to disturb them.
Looking at the brown paper bag in his hand, Shen Chi couldn't help but laugh. He just came to the store to see Huang Dong and the others, and it didn't turn into a rent-collecting trip in the end.
I wanted to take a detour to Yuanjia Village, but as soon as I left the town I saw Xie Yuanchao's car heading towards Leigongping, so I had no choice but to go home with him.
There was no Zhang Cheng in the car. I still owe Shen Chi’s family some medicinal materials for the salvia harvest this year, so I came here with the intention of paying the balance.
In the past two years, Xie Yuanchao and his factory have produced two products from Shen Chi, and their factory has achieved excellent operating results. The previous small Jeep has now been replaced by a black Santana.
This car is not cheap now. The price of one is 200,000 yuan. This was 200,000 yuan in the 1990s, which is far from comparable later.
"Director Xie, it's the end of the year and you should be even busier. Why do you still have time to come see me?" Shen Chi asked Xie Yuanchao with a smile as soon as he got in the car.
"I came here this time to give you this year's dividends, and secondly, it's about the medicinal solution." Xie Yuanchao replied.
Hearing the dividends, Shen Chi thought to himself: "Yes, he has really become a rent collector."
When I thought about it, I would go back to the villa to farm, optimize the seeds, and collect rent and dividends at the end of the year. It seemed like a good life.
"Xiao Chi, you have to increase the dosage this time no matter what. Our products are really not popular enough." Xie Yuan opened the chatter box and immediately complained to Shen Chi.
Over time, the reputation of their oral health-building liquid and skin-beautifying lotion spread, and the supply of the products they produced has seriously exceeded demand.
Shen Chi, on the other hand, refused to increase the quantity based on the concept of valuing scarcity. Every time the factory's products were produced, the dealers who received the goods would come and block the door of his office, making him afraid to go to the factory.
showed up.
This time I came to Shen Chi to ask him to increase the supply of raw solution no matter what.
"Then how much should I increase according to Factory Director Xie's wishes?" Shen Chi asked.
"Based on the current level, it should be increased at least three times," Xie Yuanchao said.
Shen Chi thought for a while and said, "I can only provide twice the amount at most."
To triple the supply will inevitably expand the refining scale of the fertilizer plant. He is still in school and has little knowledge of the facts of the fertilizer plant.
The refining equipment was exchanged by the system, so there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen if he rashly expanded the scale without being able to visit the site in person.
After much thought, Shen Chi decided to maintain the current scale even if he made less money now. He would think about the expansion when he graduates and has time to look after the fertilizer plant.
Xie Yuanchao had somewhat figured out Shen Chi's temper. He said that if the quantity was doubled, there would be no room for bargaining.
Thinking about it, it's okay to double it. We'll produce it in double the quantity first, and at worst, we can add more to Shen Chi later.
When they arrived at the villa, Zhang Cheng paid the remaining balance of the Salvia miltiorrhiza to Shen Changlin. At this point, he naturally wanted to keep them for lunch.
In fact, Xie Yuanchao and Zhang Cheng chose this spot with the intention of making a living.
As long as you eat the food at the villa once, you will never forget it, and eating other food will be like chewing wax.
"Brother Cheng, how much is the transaction amount of medicinal materials in our villages this year?" Shen Chi asked Zhang Cheng.
"The total purchase price of Salvia miltiorrhiza from the joint farm is 300,000 yuan, and that from Yuanjia Village is barely 100,000 yuan. The quality of the medicinal materials in your village is much higher than theirs, which is equal to their total value," Zhang Cheng replied.
"Next year we will increase the refining of raw liquid, and the purchase volume will have to be doubled again." Shen Chi said to Zhang Cheng.
"The Salvia miltiorrhiza that we planted before has entered the mature stage, and the output will increase year by year." Zhang Cheng said.
Shen Chi nodded clearly. The fertilizer factory and the health care product factory were Shen Chi's main sources of exchanging spiritual energy. After some transactions between the two factories, not only did he receive a large amount of spiritual energy, but he also made a fortune.
Xie Yuanchao said that he would increase the supply of raw medicinal materials, but for Shen Chi, this was just a matter of lowering the exchange ratio between plant essences and spiritual energy.
After dinner, Xie Yuanchao and Shen Chi came to the small living room, and the two talked about this year's dividend situation.
What Shen Chi didn't expect was that, without increasing the supply of raw liquid, this year's dividends had doubled from last year, reaching an astonishing over four million yuan.
It turned out that since he could not increase production, Xie Yuanchao had no choice but to sell the products at a higher price. Even so, the products were still in short supply. Every time the products came out, they would be sold out with cash.
Xie Yuanchao was really cornered and asked Shen Chi to increase the supply of essence.
Although Shen Chi did not agree to triple the supply as he wished, he still doubled the original supply, and Xie Yuanchao was also very satisfied.
The goal was achieved, and Shen Chi's dividends were calculated to him. After the matter was done, Xie Yuanchao and Zhang Cheng stood up and left.
As soon as they left, Yuan Jiaoting and Yuan Jiaodong came back.
As soon as they entered the door, they asked Shen Chi if the design drawings were out.
"You are impatient." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Fortunately, he had a surge of inspiration last night, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hand in the job now.
Shen Chi took out the sketches he drew last night and explained them one by one to Yuan Jiaoting and the others.
Yuan Jiaoting and the others saw that Shen Chi's paintings were of an antique style, and the simple design of the houses revealed an indescribable elegance. Yuan Jiaoting and the others, laymen like them, couldn't put it down after just one glance at Shen Chi's paintings.
Shen Chi’s structural plan for Yuanjia Village. A two-meter-wide bluestone street divides the entire Yuanjia Village into two.
There are shops on the street, which can be regarded as a small market. If there are people filming costume dramas, this small market can be used as a temporary street scene.
When it is idle, you can also sell some local products to attract customers. On both sides of the street, a residential building is built to serve as a B&B.
Because the other side is close to Leigong Lake, Shen Chi designed a small bluestone pier next to the lake embankment, and planted peach trees all around.
A small garden was built on an acres of land near the lake, dotted with pavilions and pavilions. Shen Chi designed the scenery here completely based on the Peach Blossom Island in his imagination.
This layout is mainly for convenience in case someone comes to shoot a Jin Yong drama in the future. This is a perfect location for filming.
A few miles away is the area where the villagers of Yuanjia Village gather. Most of the houses are made of stone, and are painted with yellow mud. They are designed according to ancient mountain village residences. They are also used for photography and living.
In order to save land occupation and maximize the use of existing resources, Shen Chi can be said to have worked hard for the people of Yuanjia Village.
Of course, if it is used as a filming base for costume dramas, the small Yuanjia Village is definitely not enough. We can only design it like this now and wait to see if we can develop surrounding villages when we have the opportunity in the future.
At least Shen Chi is very confident in Teacher Huang and his family's Huangjia Village.
