Chapter 226: The time left for her to stake out her territory and wait for demolition is running out
The summer of 1987 was filled with laughter and sorrow.
But in September, the front page of the provincial newspaper quietly published a piece of news:
In view of the important role of Provincial Highway 336 in local economic development, and the fact that since last year this highway has been too narrow and accidents have occurred frequently, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government decided to include the widening project of Provincial Highway 336 in the major transportation engineering projects of 1988.
At that time, people had no idea what the word "demolition" meant, and many people didn't even pay attention to this news!
In fact, Jiang Tian couldn’t remember when Provincial Highway 336 started to be demolished in her previous life.
But it should be only these two years.
Because she clearly remembers that by 1990, a section of Provincial Highway 336 had been widened and was included in the province's image promotional video, which was played on a loop in places such as train stations and bus stations.
It is now September 1987. The temperature is low in winter and roads cannot be built. In other words, the province may use this winter to relocate all residents along Provincial Highway 336 to other places to make way for the provincial highway widening project.
The time left for her to stake out her territory and wait for demolition is running out...
Picking up the newspaper, Jiang Tian immediately ran to the backyard and pulled Hu Qiongfang, who was leading people to count the inventory, back to the room.
Today's Hu Qiongfang is no longer the ignorant village woman she used to be.
The report in the provincial newspaper was very short, just a brief message of more than 100 words, which Hu Qiongfang finished reading at a glance.
After reading it, her palms began to sweat.
"Tiantian... don't spread this matter around!"
Hu Qiongfang felt her throat was a little dry.
I couldn't help but pick up the teacup and drink up the remaining half cup of herbal tea.
The herbal tea with dried mint leaves tasted refreshing, but Hu Qiongfang still felt like there was a fire burning in her heart.
She knew what the news her daughter showed her meant...
"Mom! How much money can we get out of our account now?"
Jiang Tian also knew that her mother understood, so she didn't bother to hide it and asked directly.
Hu Qiongfang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the words "get rich overnight" were flashing in the eyes of both mother and daughter.
"I'm going to check the deposit slips at home now!"
"You, call your second uncle to come over!"
"He has a wide network of contacts. There is no one in this area that your second uncle doesn't know. We have to bring your two uncles along for the ride on the house purchase."
By saying this, Hu Qiongfang doesn't mean that she always drags her mother's family into everything she does.
But because, to do this, there must be a man in the family who can support the family.
But unfortunately, the only male in their small family is still in elementary school...
I can only borrow the power of my brothers from my mother's side.
Fortunately, Hu Qiongfang had a very good relationship with her brothers and sisters-in-law from her natal family. When she encountered such a rare opportunity, how could she not help her natal family get rich together?
Hu Jianjun soon came over on a motorcycle, looking very impressive.
My showy second uncle made a fortune in the clothing business last year, and immediately bought himself a very cool big motorcycle.
Hu Qiongfang didn't say much to her elder brother. She just handed the newspaper to her second brother and let him read it himself.
Hu Jianjun read the report in a few seconds and was so excited that he almost jumped up!
But he and Jiang Tian have different ideas.
The widening of the provincial road means that all the current storefronts on both sides of the road will have to be demolished.
This means that there will be a new reshuffle of forces along Provincial Highway 336!
Hu Jianjun's ambition has never been to be a small boss dealing in clothing.
In the past six months, he, like Han Jisong, has quietly developed a group of his own "downlines" along Provincial Highway 336.
This group of people followed him for a living and helped him sell clothes, and he also led these younger brothers and sisters to make money and make a living together.
Don't underestimate these small vendors who walk the streets and ride bicycles to the countryside to set up stalls to sell clothes.
Since they came into being, in the entire Shuangfeng Town and the area along Provincial Highway 336, if any sow gave birth to two extra piglets, Hu Jianjun would know everything.
This is also the main reason why Hu Qiongfang's first reaction after reading the news was to ask Jiang Tian to call Hu Jianjun over.
It’s not because she is closer to her second brother.
But it’s because, if this matter is to be accomplished, with Hu Jianjun around, it will definitely be twice as easy to accomplish!
Hu Jianjun wanted to take advantage of the provincial road widening and demolition to expand his "territory" and let his younger brothers and sisters take root in this area.
But unexpectedly, his niece's next words gave him more ideas.
"Second uncle! Can you ask your men to find out as soon as possible if there are any old houses or vacant land along Provincial Highway 336 that need to be sold urgently?"
"It's not just our Twin Peaks!"
"Uncle, do you think that after the provincial road is widened, there will be more and more cars running on this road?"
"With more cars, there will be more people, and more business can be done."
"I was thinking, in our Shuangfeng Town, there are many people opening shops and doing business, and the competition is already very fierce. Why don't we take this opportunity to buy a group of old houses or land in remote areas along the provincial road?"
"As long as there are more and more cars coming and going on the provincial roads, those places will become lively sooner or later."
"Let's occupy a piece of land as soon as possible. When those places develop into small towns in the future, if we occupy a prime location early, then in the future... hehe!"
When I think about the fact that I might become the landlady with the most shops along Provincial Highway 336, and do nothing for the rest of my life, but carry a bunch of keys every day and go door to door along Provincial Highway 336 to collect rent, hehe...
Hu Jianjun also reacted.
Then I felt secretly ashamed.
He is an adult, why is his vision still limited to the small town of Twin Peaks?
My niece is right, the widening project of Provincial Highway 336 will affect not only Shuangfeng Town, but also every place along this road leading to the neighboring cities!
If they can really take advantage of this opportunity, they can buy as many houses and land as possible along Provincial Highway 336.
After the provincial road widening project is completed, they can rebuild the storefront on the newly acquired residential land.
At that time, whether they open a shop and hire someone to run the business, or rent it out to earn rent, with such a stable industry, the Hu family, for generations to come, will be able to rest easy and never worry about food and drink!
Without further ado!
"I'll ask someone to go along the provincial road and ask around right away."
"Fangfang, calculate all the money you can take out of your family. This time, even if we have to sell everything we have, we have to buy all those dilapidated houses and homesteads along the provincial road!"
