Chapter 56 Investing in a Redwood Furniture Factory (Subscription Request)
Yang Hai smiled and didn't say much, because what Fan Jinliu said was the truth. Who among the workers in Linhai City doesn't know how difficult it is for an ordinary worker to buy an apartment in Linhai City?
Although Fan Jinliu has learned a craft and it is pretty good, his income is considered high. With a few apprentices, he can make, say, 100,000 yuan a year, but 80,000 yuan is still okay. At the very least, he can make 50,000 or 60,000 yuan!
Linhai City is a first-tier city in China and the most economically developed place. Ordinary workers who go to the factory to tighten screws work ten hours a day and have no rest on Saturdays and Sundays. Their salary is probably only a few hundred yuan a month at most.

Therefore, Fan Jinliu's income is definitely much higher than that of most ordinary people.

But even so, it is very difficult for him to buy a house in Linhai City.

Although his income is not low, he has to support a family of four and two children who need to go to school. If they all live in Linhai City, the pressure is actually not small. It is difficult to save much money throughout the year.

If you buy a house in Linhai City, even a few years ago, in Baocheng District or Longcheng District of Linhai City, when the house price was only about 4,000 yuan per square meter, the monthly payment for a house would be about 3,000 yuan.

I have a stable job and a stable income, so it's not too bad. I can barely afford a house if I grit my teeth.

But if you suddenly lose your job and your income, that would be a real problem.

Yang Hai was able to buy a house because housing prices were not high at that time. He bought a second-hand house with a monthly payment of just over 2000 yuan. In addition, the house had already been renovated and came with a full range of furniture, so he bought it.

But even so, when his job ran into problems, he had no money to pay for the house, and in the end he lost his house and his wife divorced him.

The two found an ordinary mid-range restaurant, Jinggangshan Local Cuisine Restaurant, for dinner.

Although Jinggangshan is hundreds of kilometers away from Ruizhou, it belongs to the same Xijiang Province. The taste is similar to the hometown food. It is delicious, inexpensive, and large in portion, and most importantly, spicy enough.

People in Xijiang love spicy food. Fortunately, the Shen family can eat spicy food as well, which Yang Hai thinks is pretty good. Every time he goes to the Shen family for dinner, Mother Shen's authentic Sichuan cuisine really conquers his stomach completely. This is why he has to drink with Father Shen every time he goes to the Shen family.

Facing a table full of Sichuan cuisine, it is really a must to not order some wine! Sichuan cuisine is a good dish to go with rice and wine!
Especially every time when Yang Hai went to Shen's house for dinner, Shen's mother would cook those dishes, including his favorite Maoxuewang, pepper and salt duck chin, pickled fish, and stir-fried pork intestines.

When the weather is cold, they will prepare a hot pot. In short, every time Yang Hai goes to Shen's house for dinner, he can't stop eating, and every time he can eat and drink his fill.

Yang Hai actually enjoyed the happy family feeling when eating at the Shen's house, because Shen's mother and father were really good to him and treated him like their own child, caring, considerate and attentive.

They ordered a few bottles of beer and ate stir-fried beef, pork knuckles stewed with peanuts, duck with lotus blood, Jinggangshan fried pork with smoked bamboo shoots, wild mushroom soup, etc. They enjoyed the meal very much.

"Boss, seriously, how come you've changed so much? It's only been over a year since we last met, and you've already upgraded to a luxury car." After they had almost finished eating and drinking, Fan Jinliu couldn't help but ask again.

"Where's your wife? Why didn't you invite her to dinner?"

"Divorced!" Yang Hai said straightforwardly.

"Divorced? Why did they suddenly get divorced?" Fan Jinliu said in surprise.

"It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. People with high standards don't like me because I'm poor." Yang Hai said with a self-deprecating smile.

"She thinks you're poor! What kind of rich man does she want to find?" Fan Jinliu said incomprehensibly.

In Fan Jinliu's eyes, Yang Hai can be said to be his idol. When he was still earning three or four hundred yuan a month, Yang Hai was already earning three or four thousand yuan.

Moreover, the wife Yang Hai married is also good, with a good figure and beautiful looks. She is a high school graduate and a well-educated person. She also bought a house in Linhai City.

Fan Jinliu didn’t even go to junior high school, so to him, people who graduated from high school were considered to be very educated.

Such a person as Yang Hai actually got divorced because his wife disliked him for being poor. This made Fan Jinliu feel a little bit unable to understand.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her. Didn't you ask me why I suddenly changed so much and became so rich?" Yang Hai smiled and said indifferently.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank that woman. If she hadn't divorced me, I might be living a worse life than you now." Yang Hai said with a wry smile.

"You are rich now, why are you still involved with that woman? You divorced that woman, how did you suddenly become rich? It can't be that a rich woman has taken a fancy to you and is supporting you!" Fan Jinliu was very curious and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yes! You guessed it right. I had just divorced that woman and came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau when a beautiful, rich and pretty girl stopped me. She took me to the Civil Affairs Bureau and wanted to get a marriage certificate with me. She also gave me 100 million yuan." Yang Hai said with a smile.

"Damn! Is what you said true or false? Even if you want to lie to me, at least make up a more reliable story." "Fuck! I'm not lying to you, believe it or not." Yang Hai also burst into swearing.

"I told you the truth, and you thought I was lying to you. When did I ever lie to you?"

Fan Jinliu said awkwardly: "What you said is really true. This is too outrageous. You are so lucky that you can encounter such a good thing."

"Why don't I have such good luck? I can't encounter such good things. When I came out of the train station, I met a few aunties who insisted on taking me to stay in a hotel. They also said that there were 18-year-old girls to play with me."

"Oh! Have you ever followed an aunt to a hotel to play with an 18-year-old girl?" Yang Hai asked curiously.

"No, no! I'm already married, why would I go out and play with an 18-year-old girl? What would happen if my wife found out?"

Yang Hai nodded, and when he was about to speak, he heard Fan Jinliu speaking again.

"Besides, even though that auntie is said to be an 18-year-old girl, after she goes there, she might actually be a 38-year-old auntie."

"Fuck! After all, you followed the auntie! I thought you were such an honest guy!" Yang Hai couldn't help but swear again.

"No, no! I just couldn't resist my curiosity, so I went to take a look." Fan Jinliu explained hurriedly, embarrassedly.

"If she really was an 18-year-old girl, would you have slept with her?" Yang Hai asked.

"No, no! I just took a look out of curiosity. I really have never been there." Fan Jinliu quickly shook his head and denied it.

"Okay! Let's not talk about these things anymore and talk about something serious." Yang Hai shook his head and said.

In fact, even if Fan Jinliu really did it, it wouldn't matter, as long as he didn't get cheated. When an adult man is away from home for a long time and separated from his wife, few men can keep themselves clean and not make mistakes.

However, those who are taken to hotels by the aunties at the train station square to find 18-year-old girls will most likely be cheated. Even if there really is an 18-year-old girl, as soon as they take off their pants, someone will push the door open and blackmail them, and all the money they have will be taken away.

"Now that you are back in Ninghai City, what are your plans?" Yang Hai asked.

"What plans can I make? Just find a job in a factory and make some money." Fan Jinliu said shamelessly.

"But the market in Linhai is not very good this year. To be honest, I'm used to earning 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month in Xianyou, Fujian Province. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job here, but it's impossible to earn that much. It's good to earn 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month."

"But there is no other way. I can only come here to do it temporarily. Xianyou in Fujian Province is really not doing well this year. There are not many redwood furniture factories that are operating normally. They all say that there are no orders."

"That's for sure. They only make expensive high-end red wood. Red rosewood is the most common one. It's sold at such a high price and it was exposed by CCTV. A lot of the wood is made of rotten wood. This year is a financial crisis. There is no business and no orders. It's a very normal thing." Yang Hai nodded and said.

"Boss, do you have any good ideas? Take me with you to make some money." Fan Jinliu couldn't help but smile and said.

"It's easy to make a small fortune. Just follow me in the future! I plan to invest in a rosewood furniture factory, and you can help me manage it. How about it?" Yang Hai thought for a while and said.

"You want to open a rosewood furniture factory? Are you sure? The current market conditions are not good, but you still want to invest in opening a rosewood furniture factory. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell the finished furniture?" Fan Jinliu hurriedly persuaded.

"It's okay! If we can't sell it this year, we can sell it next year. This financial crisis can't always be like this. The economy will always recover." Yang Hai said with a smile.

Moreover, if we open a factory now, the price of buying redwood is also very cheap! When the economy recovers, let alone selling redwood furniture, even if we sell redwood directly, we can make a lot of money.

"The price of rosewood is much cheaper now than last year, but it still costs money! If this situation continues for a few years, it will be troublesome." Fan Jinliu said pessimistically.

"If you want to make money by selling redwood, you need a lot of money to buy redwood. How much money do you plan to invest?"

"Didn't your current rich wife only give you 100 million? 100 million is barely enough to start a small rosewood furniture factory, but if you want to stockpile rosewood and wait for it to appreciate in value and make money, that's a bit difficult."
