Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"I'm going back to my hometown with my wife to celebrate the New Year. What does it have to do with you?"

When Sun Hao came back, Aunt Chen had already finished cleaning and went home, so Sun Hao was in the kitchen heating up the breakfast that Aunt Chen had prepared that morning, intending to wake up his young wife after heating it up.

Sun Hao showed a lot of disgust towards Xiao Liu who kept staying at their house and refused to leave.

"Boss, you and your wife are going back to your hometown. Take me with you. I can drive you and your wife home. This way, if you and your wife want to bring anything back, they can put it in the trunk."

Xiao Liu wanted to fight for it, but Sun Hou hit him hard on the head with the back of his chopsticks.

"Go home right now and stop getting in my way. I'm busy!"

Sun Hao waved his hand impatiently, and the meaning was self-evident, telling Xiao Liu Yuanrun to get out.

Xiao Liu had no choice but to leave in disappointment, while Sun Hao was still looking at the red bean porridge in the pot. After making sure that the porridge was heated through, he turned to low heat and went back to the room to wake Shi Yan up.

After Shi Yan fell asleep, her supernatural powers were slowly recovering, so when Sun Hao came back, she was fine. When Sun Hao called her, she woke up.

Before Sun Hao could find a chance to get close to his young wife, she went to the bathroom as if she knew the place well.

"It's already this late, why aren't you at work? I can be alone at home."

Shi Yan mentioned this while they were eating.

"The company is on holiday, and I want to go back to my hometown for the New Year. Although I haven't had much contact with my relatives since my parents passed away, we are married now, so I still have to go to my parents' grave to say hello and take you to meet them."

"However, I have to finish reading all the documents I brought back today. Can you accompany me, wife?"

"Brother Hao, haven't I been with you all the time? Just take your time and watch. I won't make any loud noise to disturb you!"

Shi Yan thought that she couldn't see anyway, so when it came to accompanying Sun Hao, it was just that Sun Hao would look at his documents, and she could just listen to the radio, watch TV, or take a nap.

However, she did not expect Sun Hao to be so serious. He worked directly in the restaurant and asked Shi Yan to sit next to him. Sun Hao took the document and read it out line by line for Shi Yan to listen.

He would also ask Shi Yan from time to time how this project was going and whether that project could make money. Occasionally, he would even brag about how good he was at making money and that he could support Shi Yan no matter how many children she had in the future.

"Wife, you mentioned so many projects, which ones should I choose? What do you think of the old city renovation project I just mentioned? Or the renovation of the old steel factory dormitory?"

Shi Yan had been listening to Sun Hao's chatter for quite some time and found that these projects were actually very similar. They were either government renovation projects or projects led by some large units to build welfare housing for their employees. They sounded like big projects, but they all required bidding.

The original book did not specify which projects' quotations were exposed. If Sun Hao continued to work on these projects, he might still be targeted. After all, other people didn't know why Wen Qian wanted to peek at the bids and the company's confidential documents. But in the original book, all the benefits went to the male protagonist.

"Brother Hao, why don't you buy land and build a house yourself? Building welfare houses for companies doesn't sound like a big project, and this government project sounds impressive, but these old houses still have people living in them, how are they going to be resettled? What if some people don't want to leave?"

"I think these projects are a bit too troublesome no matter how you look at it. If I could build a house myself, I would definitely build it in a place with convenient schools, hospitals and transportation. I think most people now also want to live in such a place."

"There are also small villas with yards like the one we live in. I think there are also many people with plenty of money who are interested in them."

"If Brother Hao is worried that the house won't sell after it's built, we can also sell the house on TV shopping. I think everything on TV shopping is said to be very useful, and I want to buy it, but after I buy it, it seems that it's not what it used to be."

"But the house should be real. Nowadays, many families have several generations living in a small house. They definitely want to have a big house of their own."

Sun Hao originally just wanted to amuse his wife, but after listening to what she said, he realized that it was actually possible for him to buy land and build a house.

At the beginning, he did not directly buy a ready-made house but bought a piece of land and built a small villa by himself. This was because the small villa was in a convenient location and he could build the house completely according to his own ideas, instead of doing it like normal engineering projects, where different projects have different house acceptance standards, which is very troublesome.

But this kind of family has already built a residential area, and there is a piece of land in a corner. He can buy it if he wants to, but if he really wants to get a large piece of land, it will cost a lot of money.

Even if his company's current cash flow is enough to buy land, he still needs money to buy materials for building houses and pay workers' wages, so the money in the account is not enough. Add to that the subsequent buying and selling issues, and the risk is still very high.

But risks are often accompanied by opportunities. Sun Hao wanted to make the money, but he just didn't know how to do it, so he turned his attention to his young wife.

Although sometimes the ideas expressed by the young wife are a bit naive, sometimes only by simplifying things can we find the crux of the problem.

"Wife, I actually want to buy some land and build a building myself, but the company doesn't have much liquidity in its account right now. If I invest all of it in real estate development, there won't be enough money to build a building. I can't just sit there and wait for the land I spent a lot of money on."

"Then go to the bank and borrow it, right?"

“Or can we collect some money from people who want to buy the house in advance? After all, just like when I bought the swing machine for my home, the host said that there were not many left. I called too late and they said that they were all sold out and I had to wait for the next batch to be produced.

But the manufacturer that sells the swing machine is not available on TV malls every day. I didn’t know where to buy it in the future, so they asked me to pay a deposit and delivered it to my home as soon as the product was produced. The reason why I was able to get the product so quickly was because someone didn’t want it anymore, so they just gave it to me.”

"Selling a house, can't it be done this way? Find someone who needs it first and collect a portion of the deposit, and then pay the balance after the house is built. Anyway, as long as it's something I need, I'm definitely willing to wait."

Shi Yan had already made it very clear. She remembered that at that time, the term "pre-sale housing" had already come into being, but it came from Hong Kong. She didn't know whether Sun Haoming understood what she meant.

As for Sun Hao, after all, he had a full understanding of this industry and read the newspaper every day, so he immediately understood his wife's thoughts.

This was completely feasible, but there were still some details to be worked out. He stopped teasing Shi Yan and picked up a pen to start writing and drawing.
