Chapter 675: Down to Earth
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, the old men and women who were originally chattering and speaking in a mess, as well as several middle-aged men and women who had just gone out, all quieted down. A group of people looked at Su Yang, as if they were under a spell.
Su Yang felt a little embarrassed as he was being stared at by so many people at the same time, all of whom were his grandfather's former neighbors.
Si Yao beside him tugged at him: "Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a little off?"
Before Su Yang could say anything, Old Guo burst into laughter.
"You kid, you're such a jokester, and you even want to tear down our alley!"
"Let me tell you, there are more than 700 households in Tiebei Hutong and Tiegong Hutong on the other side. Someone offered 500,000 yuan to a family before, but we didn't demolish it!"
"You still want to demolish the house, how much will that cost?"
"This kid is just like his grandfather, talking nonsense!"
As soon as Old Guo finished speaking, laughter broke out from the surroundings.
"That's what I mean. Don't underestimate this place. It's really valuable. Most people can't afford to demolish it!"
"I heard that the Su family made a lot of money in Chuncheng City. Maybe they really want to come back to benefit our fellow villagers!"
An old man snorted coldly: "500,000 per house, it would cost 350 million to demolish it. How can we make money from that? How can we afford so much money?"
"Besides, I won't demolish it if it's 500,000 per unit. Whoever wants to demolish it can do so. I want 1.5 million!"
"It's hard to get this one chance in a lifetime to fight for your children, why don't you ask for more!"
The group of people started to make noise again.
Zhou Xiang beside him tugged at Su Yang's shoulder and said, "I think it's best not to rush this matter. We can proceed step by step. At least, we can know how much money each company wants, so we won't be passive."
Su Yang sighed. If he had a choice, he naturally didn't want to say it so bluntly.
But the problem facing him now is that the chemical plant explosion cannot be confirmed at all. If the chemical plant did not explode, the only sincerity he could show is to demolish this shantytown!
But these neighbors also said that he would not take away 350 million yuan. All his wealth now, added together, even if he squeezed Jitu Express and Susutong Logistics dry, plus Songjiang Construction, would only be around 180 or 190 million yuan!
Even if we spend all this money, it still wouldn't be enough to cover the relocation.
No wonder this place is sold so cheaply, but no one is willing to take it over. It is simply a losing business.
And even if you offer 350 million, they won’t leave and just want more.
But he doesn't have time!
Su Yang found a flat place and tried to stand as high as possible.
"My dear uncles and aunties, you may know me, but today is the first time I meet you!"
"What I just said was not a joke. Our shantytown is really going to be relocated!"
"Last year, we, Songjiang Construction, bought these two plots of land from the Jiangcheng Land Bureau. Now, according to regulations, we need to make a public announcement so that you can make land moves!"
"The specific compensation measures and policies have not yet been formulated, but I came here today to listen to everyone's opinions and see how much compensation should be given to everyone so that everyone is willing to leave!"
After Su Yang finished speaking, the group fell silent again.
A middle-aged man smoked a cigarette and took a deep breath.
The middle-aged woman who came out to pour water was also looking at Su Yang.
The old lady who had just held Su Yang's hand suddenly had eyes that lit up. Old Guo, who came over with a cane, looked at Su Yang and took a deep breath.
"We really want to relocate?"
As soon as Old Guo said this.
A middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "I heard last year that the land near our alley was sold!"
"So it's not just a rumor, it's really sold?"
"And the boy from the old Su family bought it?"
"Okay, okay, you have to give me a good price for Uncle Li's house!"
The old lady who was holding Su Yang's hand was also very excited.
"Son, we have a real relationship. Your grandfather and I are childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for the big age difference, I might have become your grandmother. We have a real relationship, so you can't be partial!"
A group of people rushed towards Su Yang and surrounded him.
"Your grandfather and I were as close as peeing dolls back then. You should at least arrange a house for each of our two sons, right?"
"Baby, have you forgotten that grandma once held you in her arms?"
"Your mother and I had a very good relationship back then!"
"I played cards with your dad!"
"I know your third uncle. Your eldest uncle and I used to work together!"
Su Yang was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm.
He Rongfa and Bian Zhenguo next to them wanted to pull Su Yang out, but they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Si Yao was also pushed aside. Looking at Su Yang who was surrounded in the middle, she felt a little scared, but also a little funny for no reason.
Su Yang pressed his hand: "Everyone, everyone, calm down and listen to me, okay?"
"Everyone calm down!"
Old Guo next to him swung his stick, and many people felt pain and gave way.
"Can you guys please listen to what the kid is saying?"
"What are you doing, one by one?"
Seeing that Old Guo was angry, many people quickly stepped aside.
Old Guo walked to Su Yang's side with a righteous and stern voice, and then smiled and said, "My child, we have a son and a daughter. Look, I don't want more for my house. Just give me 1.2 million!"
"We are all relatives, so this is what we call keeping the wealth within the family!"
Su Yang almost fell to the ground. He pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, I came here this time differently from other real estate developers. I want to build a logistics distribution center here!"
"In addition to this distribution center, there is also a supporting commercial residence!"
"If necessary, I can provide relocation housing for everyone!"
"But I have to admit that I can't even afford 700 million yuan, let alone 500,000 yuan or more than 300 million yuan!"
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, the group of people immediately became discouraged and quickly walked aside.
"What can we demolish if we don't have money?"
"That's right, you don't have the money to buy the land, can't you find someone with money to demolish it?"
"I'm planning to get the relocation fee for this house and move to the city to buy a bigger house. Who would live in this shabby place?"
"We have a house in the countryside. We can just move back there!"
Su Yang looked at this group of people and sighed.
"My dear uncles, aunts, grandparents, I don't have that much money, nor do other developers have such deep pockets!"
"But since I'm here, it means that I have the confidence to give everyone a satisfactory explanation!"
"This shantytown has a history of nearly 60 years. The city is full of tall buildings and is changing with each passing day, but Tiebei Hutong is getting worse day by day!"
"I know that many of you are living here after being laid off. You don't have any skills and can't find a job, so you can only rely on odd jobs to make a living!"
"But have you ever thought that after the logistics distribution center is built, you can also apply for a job and become an employee?"
"Even the older ones can come and work as temporary sorters!"
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If you really hold on to this shabby house and dream of becoming rich overnight after the relocation, your dream will be dashed sooner or later!"
"It's better to be down-to-earth and practical!"
Before Su Yang finished speaking, an old man cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense here..."
