Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Chen Yang took Li Youcai and Wang Qiang for a walk in the corridor on the fourth floor and took a look at the situation in each room.

"There are 80 rooms on the fourth floor, including an escape route and two public toilets..." Chen Yang gave a basic introduction to Li Youcai and Wang Qiang as he walked.

Actually, there is nothing much to see. The situation in every room here is similar.

All the usable infrastructure has been moved away, and what is left is either unusable or broken.

The larger rooms are about 50 square meters, and the smaller ones are about 20 square meters.

After looking at the fourth floor, the three went to the third floor.

Compared with the fourth floor, there are a lot more rooms on the third floor, with a total of 108 rooms. They are smaller, with the smallest being only eleven or twelve square meters, which is only enough to accommodate two single beds and a small desk.

On the second floor there is a restaurant with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters and a kitchen with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

There are very few rooms, only about twenty, but each room is very large. The largest suite is more than 140 square meters, and the smallest is more than 70 square meters. The interior decoration is all soft-packed. Although it is shabby, it does not conceal the previous luxury of this place.

Even the windows are double-glazed, providing both sound insulation and warmth.

After looking at the second floor, only the first floor is left.

The entire first floor is huge, and except for the guesthouse's reception hall, several warehouses and the staff lounge, the rest of the space is basically divided into shops of different sizes.

It was impossible to see from the inside, so Chen Yang led Li Youcai and Wang Qiang out of the building and came outside.

"The reception building has been in disrepair for a long time, and the municipal party committee has no money to allocate for repairs. Some leaders have proposed renting out the first floor and using the rent to cover the expenses of the guesthouse."

"So we converted this floor into many shops and rented them out."

"But the rent we collect is enough to cover the daily expenses of the guesthouse, but it's far from enough to renovate and redecorate the entire building."

"This time you are contracting this building, and the first floor is also within your contract scope."

After listening to Chen Yang's words, Wang Qiang immediately asked, "We are going to take over the house, what should we do with these shops on the first floor?"

"You have to negotiate with them yourselves." Chen Yang said.

"How can we negotiate this?" Wang Qiang was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He looked at Chen Yang and said, "We have already paid the rent to you, will you refund it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yang looked embarrassed: "Well, we really can't retreat now."

Li Youcai knew the result without Chen Yang saying much.

Most of the money they collected has been spent.

Otherwise, they would not be so eager to contract out the building. The construction of the new Taihe Hotel was just an opportunity. The reception building had been making losses for years and had high maintenance costs, and had long become a burden to the Municipal Party Committee.

The main reason is that if we let it go now, we can not only collect a large sum of contract money, but also completely get rid of this bottomless pit.

"You can't return the money, and now you have collected our contract money. Aren't you collecting the money twice?" Wang Qiang said unhappily when he heard this.

Chen Yang smiled awkwardly. "This is also a decision from above. I'm just an employee. If you have any opinions, you can go talk to Director Gong. He is the person in charge of this project. It's useless to talk to me. I can't make the decision."

Wang Qiang wanted to say something, but Li Youcai stopped him.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's close the building first."

Although Wang Qiang was angry, he could only suppress his temper for the time being.

Under the guidance of Chen Yang, Li Youcai and Wang Qiang visited two shops and took a general look.

However, they did not notice that while they were looking at the shops, a salesperson in a store sneaked out and quickly ran towards the hair cutting shop at the other end.

"Master Xia, here we come!"

"What's coming?"

Xia Ming was cutting a customer's hair when he saw the waiter from the bun shop running in in a panic, muttering something to himself, so he hurriedly asked.

The waiter took a breath and continued, "The guys who are closing the shops are here! They're over there, with Director Chen from the guesthouse, checking each shop."

Hearing this, Xia Ming was stunned.

"It's really here!"

He immediately put down the scissors in his hand and went out to call people from other shops to come out.

"Hey, hey, hey~~~, I haven't finished cutting my hair yet!" The customer, who was halfway through cutting his hair, sat on the chair and turned his head to shout at Xia Ming, who had half of his body leaning out of the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll come back and cut your hair. I won't charge you this time!" Xia Ming shouted, then ran out quickly.

"What's the big deal? I'm worried about this too."

But Xia Ming was no longer outside the door.

Xia Ming quickly ran into the shop next door, told the owner the news, and asked him to go out and call people.

In this way, two people became four, and four people became eight.

Before Li Youcai and the others arrived here.

The owners of the eight shops that came around the corner had already gathered together and were heading towards Li Youcai and the others.

"It's them!"

From a distance, the waitress pointed at Li Youcai and the other two and shouted at Xia Ming and the others.

"Let's go!" Xia Ming shouted softly.

A group of people rushed towards Li Youcai and his group.

"Brother Cai, something is not right. It seems that those people are coming for us." Wang Qiang looked at Xia Ming and the others approaching from afar and hurriedly said to Li Youcai.

Chen Yang also saw Xia Ming and the others.

"It's the people from the shops over there. They have always been against us contracting out the building. They probably heard the news and knew you were coming to take over the building, so they came here on purpose." Chen Yang reminded them.

Li Youcai looked at the group of people, all wearing all kinds of clothes.

He walked up to them with great momentum.

"Director Chen, they are the ones who contracted this building, right?" Xia Ming walked in front and asked Chen Yang directly.

"Old Xia, the outsourcing of the reception building was a decision made by the higher-ups. Even if you are extremely dissatisfied, you can still sit down and talk it over slowly. What are you doing now?" Chen Yang did not answer, but instead spoke some official language with a stern face.

Xia Ming stood in front of the team and shouted loudly:

"You make it sound so easy. You just enclose the building and then nothing happens. We've been reporting this for a long time. Has the leader you mentioned ever taken any action? He won't even meet with us. Who do you want us to talk to?"

"We don't care. Coincidentally, the contractors are here, so let's make it clear. We signed a contract for this shop and paid the rent. Even if it changes owners now, we won't give up the lease. If you want to take our shop away, no way!"

Xia Ming raised his arm and shouted, and the others behind him followed suit:

"You want to take over our shop? No way!"

"Yes! We'd rather die than give in!"
