To demonstrate its importance and authority, the demolition office was built to look very professional.

Before even stepping inside, Hua Lichu could hear lively conversations. Judging from the scene, there were probably quite a few people there.

Sure enough, the lobby was packed with people.

There were too many people and not enough staff, so long queues formed.

Hua Lichu glanced at her watch, grabbed a staff member, and gave them her name.

The staff member, clearly instructed by his supervisor, immediately said, "I'll take you to the director."

Special cases should be handled specially.

With so many properties and lands under the name of Hua Lichu's family, they could naturally apply for the fast-track processing.

Upon seeing Hua Lichu, the director of the demolition office immediately stood up from his chair and said with a smile:

"The exam's over? Shall we go measure the land now?"

Hua Lichu shook her head: "The land is there and it won't move, so let's not rush to measure it. Let's talk about the compensation plan first."

Director Hou hesitated for a moment, then asked the staff to leave and invited Hua Lichu to sit down.

He then picked up a document from his desk, glanced at it, and said:

"Miss Hua, your family owns quite a lot of real estate and land!"

Hua Lichu smiled.

The director continued, "This demolition covers a relatively large area, and there are two types of compensation methods."

One option is compensation based on the number of people living in the house, and the other is compensation based on the area of ​​the house. Which one would you like to choose?

Before Hua Lichu could answer, the director adopted a serious and earnest expression:

"Given the size of your household, the second compensation option is better."

Hua Lichu didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "Compensation based on area? Is that based on the land area or the usable area?"

The reason she spent a huge sum of money to buy a house in this area was to wait for the land to be demolished and redeveloped.

Therefore, without exception, all the properties they bought were built as three-story buildings.

She would never agree to compensation based on the area of ​​the land occupied.

The director paused, not expecting Hua Lichu to be so incisive. After a few seconds of silence, he said:

“Your family owns a lot of properties and land; if we calculate based on usable floor area, it's really difficult for us! I…”

Hua Lichu interrupted, "That's a problem your demolition office should solve. If you insist on compensation based on the land area, I will not agree to it."

As you've probably seen, the properties under my name are mostly small three-story buildings; the second and third floors alone represent a considerable amount of space.

"Ms. Hua, that's not how it works. When you bought the house, the price wasn't high, was it?"

But things are different now. Ever since the news of the demolition came out, the property prices here have been changing every day.

As she spoke, the director quoted a price that was double what she had paid when she bought the house.

"We'll compensate you at this price, so you won't lose out no matter what; on the contrary, you'll make a lot of money!"

Hua Lichu laughed in exasperation: "You said that the housing prices here change every day. With the price you quoted, can you even buy a house here now?"

As for costs, as you probably know, I'm a businessman and currently a freshman in college.

According to our school's regulations, students can apply to start their own businesses in their second year.

The reason I came to this godforsaken place to buy land was to build a factory here and house workers in the future.

But because you want to demolish the site, I have to find a new location.

To be honest, I really like this place. It's not too far from the city center, and it's quiet... Back then, I wore out several pairs of shoes trying to buy this land.

If you insist on discussing purchase costs with me, then I don't mind discussing market premiums and time costs with you.

The implication is that if you say my purchase cost is low, then I have to calculate my time cost with you.

The director of the demolition office didn't expect that Hua Lichu, at such a young age, would be so difficult to fool.

They had no choice but to raise the price slightly.

Unexpectedly, Hua Lichu still refused to respond to his words and instead asked him for a regional map.

"As far as I know, this demolition project can't just involve monetary compensation, right? Are there any replacement houses? In which area are they located?"

Based on her observations over the past year, she believes that a house is worse than money.

The director paused, then pointed to a plot of land on the map: "Here. However, the resettlement community hasn't started construction yet; we'll have to wait until it's built and then have people move in by lottery."

Seeing Hua Lichu's keen interest, the director's temples throbbed.

Her family owns such a large property and land area slated for demolition, and they're going to get all of it as compensation...

The director shook his head: "This whole complex only has six buildings. The area of ​​that house slated for demolition is so large. If we choose this one..."

Then we'll calculate the compensation for the demolished residential area for you.

Hua Lichu smiled and said, "I only want four apartments in this complex."

The director breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's more like it! Your house is too big, it's easier to just give them money..."

"No!"

Hua Lichu pointed to the map: "Give me a piece of land here, and two buildings in the nearest commercial district."

Give me four more sets of goods, and the rest will be converted into cash.

As for the compensation, it can't be the amount you suggested; it should be at least 3.5 times my original purchase price!

The director of the demolition office stared at Hua Lichu in disbelief, as if accusing her of making exorbitant demands.

"Miss Hua, why are you doing this?"

Putting aside whether those two buildings will be given to you, just considering the timeline, there's not even a trace of those two buildings right now. It will take at least a year to complete them. With that year, what wouldn't you do with that money?

Besides, even if this area is demolished, it will take at least several years for it to develop. You simply won't be able to rent out these two buildings..."

"That's something I need to consider."

Seeing that Hua Lichu wouldn't listen to advice, the director of the demolition office muttered:

"A few years is a long time; too many things can change in that time. Just a year ago, when you bought this property, could you have imagined that it would be demolished?"

If you're running a business and need working capital, why not use the compensation to do something else? Let your money generate more money?

Don't worry, I will definitely urge my staff to ensure your compensation payment arrives in the shortest possible time.

Furthermore, 2.5 times is the highest price we can offer after our meeting and discussion..."

When Hua Li first met the director of the demolition office, he kept repeating the same few sentences over and over, so she simply focused on studying the map and didn't say a word.

After he finished rambling, he calmly stood up and said, "Since neither of us can convince the other today, let's stop here for now."

With that, he left.

Anyway, she won't lose money by leaving her land here, and she has enough money for her business to operate, so she doesn't need to rush at all.

If we can't reach an agreement in one day, then it'll be a year!

She has plenty of time to waste with them.

But she wasn't in a hurry; the demolition office was!

The higher-ups are constantly pushing for progress, but they always fail to do a good job and will definitely get criticized in the end!

But the director of the demolition office also knew that Hua Lichu was a tough nut to crack; she had figured out that they would never back down.

Having no other choice, he had to quickly report the matter to his superiors and let them make a decision.
