Following that, the two also discussed the matter of the instant noodle processing plant.
Su Xiaotian decided that she would invest herself and build the instant noodle factory in the village, meaning the village would only provide the land.
Su Changjiu had no objections to this.
After all, helping to build the breeding farm and food processing plant, and improving the lives of the villagers, was already a tremendous kindness to Nanling Village.
"Leave this matter to me."
Su Changjiu still remembered that the leaders from the provincial Department of Commerce wanted to reach a cooperation agreement with Su Xiaotian.
However, this child, Xiaotian, seemed to have no interest in the large factories in the province.
He wondered if this instant noodle factory was related to the province.
But none of this concerned Su Changjiu, so he didn't ask further.
"After I go back this time, I'll designate a piece of land for you in the village. Once the land matters are settled, I'll call you."
"Thank you, Uncle Changjiu. I might not have time to go back for a while; the work at the Translation Department is too busy. Fourth Brother has also gone abroad and might not be back anytime soon."
Besides Fourth Brother's business ventures, the other brothers were all in different fields. From land to factory buildings, she would likely still need to ask Su Changjiu for help.
"If there's anything, Xiaotian, just say it. I'll do what I can to help."
With the factory construction about to begin, besides the land, there was the issue of factory building construction, which Su Changjiu felt he could help with.
Su Changjiu was very willing to help Xiaotian.
The good life they were now living was, in essence, all thanks to Su Xiaotian.
With matters on his mind, Su Changjiu left the capital after seven or eight days and returned to the village.
By this time, the building that Su Xiaotian had purchased as a disused factory and renovated was also completed.
Because Su Xiaotian had high requirements for the building, the construction took a considerable amount of time.
Su Xiaotian planned to add more stories on top of the five-story building in the future, so she had the foundation built very sturdily.
The construction team that undertook the project for this building was Old Qian's renovation team, the same one that had been responsible for renovating the university's snack street.
When Old Qian took on this project, he had made the decision with no turning back.
Fortunately, the building turned out well, and during the process, he also helped the Su family with a few minor renovations.
Coupled with Su Xiaotian's prompt payments, his renovation team had grown significantly in size.
Furthermore, Old Qian had divided his team into two groups: one for construction and another for the more meticulous finishing work.
Su Xiaotian was very satisfied with the building renovated by Old Qian.
"Uncle Qian, your work is truly meticulous," Su Xiaotian said, after carefully inspecting all five floors, clearly pleased.
The interior decoration had been done according to Su Xiaotian's requirements, with a refined yet minimalist style that looked grand and aesthetically pleasing.
This style of decoration was not particularly trendy at the moment, but it gave a very comfortable feeling.
"It's all thanks to your help, Xiaotian. Without your trust in us, my brothers and I would probably be back home farming now."
Old Qian said politely.
He had seen other construction teams back then, most of which had disappeared, let alone developed like his own team.
"Uncle Qian, a few days ago, I went to the processing plant. The dormitory building there is progressing very quickly, much faster than the construction of this building."
"Now that there are more people on the construction team, and everyone has gained experience, their speed has also increased."
"Uncle Qian, have you considered formally establishing a construction company?"
Many construction teams, due to management issues, eventually declined.
Moreover, these makeshift teams lacked formal qualifications, preventing them from undertaking many projects, which led to slower subsequent development and eventual elimination from the market.
But a formally registered company was different. Although there might be some difficulties in the initial stages, everything would be fine as long as they persevered.
"I'm just a farmer, how could I have the ability to establish a company?" Old Qian said, scratching his head with a simple smile.
Su Xiaotian laughed, "What's wrong with being a farmer? Our family also comes from a farming background. To put it broadly, with so many people in the capital, how many of them don't have roots as farmers?"
Old Qian had actually been thinking about this issue recently.
He realized that if things continued like this, the construction team would not be able to develop.
However, he couldn't find a solution.
It was fortunate that Su Xiaotian had reminded him today, and he was quite interested.
"Xiaotian, do you think this could work?"
"If you want to, anything is possible. Uncle Qian, I've heard that several companies are already in contact with you."
Su Xiaotian smiled. Once the quality of this building was seen by others, Old Qian's construction team's reputation would surely spread.
At that time, perhaps more than just a few companies would be in contact.
This should be the opportunity for Old Qian's construction team to take off, but it remained to be seen if Old Qian could seize the opportunity.
"Xiaotian, I have few people under me. Don't worry, I definitely won't take on other jobs until the dormitory building is completed."
Old Qian's expression immediately changed, thinking that Su Xiaotian was now dissatisfied with him.
"Uncle Qian, it's okay to have few people; you can continue to recruit. After the final payment for this building is settled, it shouldn't be a problem for you to recruit dozens more people."
Old Qian hadn't expected Su Xiaotian to remind him to expand his scale.
"I just feel like I'm an old farmer, I don't understand management, how can I run a company? What if I mismanage it? I heard that one has to pay a lot of money."
Old Qian was worried that the management wouldn't keep up after expanding the scale, and then they wouldn't even earn the hard-earned money, but instead lose money.
"Uncle Qian, you should think about this and discuss it with others!"
Su Xiaotian didn't want to say too much.
After all, this was someone else's business. A simple reminder was fine, but actually helping to make decisions was not allowed.
Old Qian fell silent.
He had actually been quite smooth sailing along the way, but with more and more brothers under him, he became increasingly hesitant to take risks.
So many people needed to eat and support their wives and children. If he failed in running a company, it would be a small matter if his own family went hungry, but it would be a big deal if these brothers lost their income.
But as Xiaotian said, not formally establishing a company did indeed create many constraints for future development.
What should he do about this matter?
Su Xiaotian didn't care, nor could she control, Old Qian's thoughts.
The building was out, and it could begin operations.
Su Xiaotian and Su Xiaosi had made detailed plans for this five-story building.
The first and second floors were for dining.
The entire first floor was occupied by Yimingge, and on the second floor, Su Xiaotian planned to open a hot pot restaurant and a barbecue restaurant.
The third floor was a large supermarket, and the fourth and fifth floors were for clothing.
It was fortunate that Su Xiaotian had money now; otherwise, this plan alone would have been mere talk without the ability to implement it.
