Chapter 361 If you want to be rich, build roads first

“That’s good!”

Xu Zhengming relaxed when he heard that the Clothing Factory had already been contacted and everything was arranged.

It wasn’t a problem for the Pet Park to open a month late, but if it affected the production at the Clothing Factory, that would be troublesome!

“Let’s go. There’s another truckload of stray cats and dogs arriving today, and I need to go handle them.”

Pang Tao glanced at the Cat Castle, which was still under construction, then turned and walked away.

“Okay, the rescue station has also started construction. I’ll go check on that.”

Xu Zhengming followed beside him.

With the completion of the Pet Park’s basic facilities, rescue stations from other areas had already started transporting stray cats and dogs there.

The stray cats and dogs from the Corner Rescue Station had long since been placed in the Pet Park.

The now-empty Corner Rescue Station had been demolished and was being rebuilt.

There, they planned to build an office building and an employee dormitory.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Just as the two were walking side-by-side out of the Pet Park, Pang Tao’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

Pang Tao took out his phone and looked at the caller ID.

General Manager Chen!

Seeing this, he quickly answered the call.

“General Manager Chen, what can I do for you?”

“…….”

“Okay, General Manager Chen, just leave it to us.”

After a while,

Pang Tao hung up the phone, his expression a bit dazed.

“General Manager Chen, what did he say?”

Xu Zhengming saw Pang Tao hang up and asked curiously.

Hearing Xu Zhengming’s question, Pang Tao came back to his senses and turned to look at Xu Zhengming.

“General Manager Chen wants to build a senior apartment complex, requiring a plot of land around 4000 square meters, and he needs us to handle it.”

“A senior apartment complex? Why is General Manager Chen building a senior apartment complex?”

Xu Zhengming was puzzled.

“Charity.”

Pang Tao simply uttered two words, then described the details with a sigh of emotion.

Of course,

he had just learned these details from General Manager Chen on the phone.

“This…”

Listening to Pang Tao’s narration, Xu Zhengming exclaimed in surprise, then couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“General Manager Chen is indeed different from other bosses. Building such a large senior apartment complex will probably cost at least tens of millions.”

Tens of millions,

used for charity, what kind of generosity was this?

At the same time, he looked back at the Pet Park behind him; wasn’t this Pet Park the same?

General Manager Chen was truly too great!

“Oh, right, I remember the government seemed to have a piece of land for rent, about 1500 per square meter, a total of 4200 square meters, suitable for anything.”

He had overheard this casually at the government office last time when he was dealing with the Pet Park’s land matters.

However, he didn’t know if it was still available.

“In that case, it perfectly fits General Manager Chen’s requirements. We can go contact them.”

Pang Tao nodded faintly, then continued.

“General Manager Chen said that some of the residents in this senior apartment complex who are capable of working will come to our Pet Park to work, and he wants us to arrange some simple jobs for those seniors.”

“That’s simple. Feeding cats and dogs, and cleaning the park area, those seniors can handle all of that.”

Xu Zhengming readily agreed. For feeding cats and dogs in the park, there would be specialized small carts for transporting food. Pushing those small carts wouldn’t require much effort at all.

Upon reaching each feeding area, they could just use a scoop to put food into the pets’ bowls.

The only thing to pay attention to was the food portion, but there would be a dedicated person to remind them, so there was no need to worry too much.

“Yes, that’s certainly no problem.”

“However, that senior apartment complex can’t be built in a short time. Where should those seniors who are brought over be temporarily arranged?”

Pang Tao looked troubled. According to General Manager Chen’s words on the phone, those seniors should be arriving soon.

And the senior apartment complex hadn’t been built yet, nor would the office building and employee dormitory at the rescue station be built quickly. Arranging for those arriving seniors was a big problem.

Xu Zhengming frowned upon hearing this.

This was indeed a problem.

No matter what, when those seniors arrived, they needed to be arranged a place to stay first!

Soon, his eyes lit up.

“I remember, isn’t there an apartment building near the Fourth Ring Road? Let’s temporarily arrange those seniors there. There are many empty Rooms now, and the price is cheap.”

Apartment building!

Pang Tao also thought of that apartment building when he heard Xu Zhengming’s description.

In the beginning, Jiang City’s development strategy was focused on the west side of the city, and the subway was also planned to extend there. At that time, many people felt this was an opportunity and invested heavily in the west side of the city. That apartment building was a product of that time.

But in the end, no one expected that the planned subway did not come to the west side of the city but instead went to the north side.

And the north side, due to the subway extension, gradually formed a commercial economic zone and became very prosperous.

However, the west side of the city was different. Since the subway extended to the north side, no one invested in the west side anymore.

And that apartment building was already half-built, so it was impossible to abandon it halfway through.

However, after its completion, its efficiency had never been very good. It was said that at most, two-thirds of the tenants in an apartment building was considered good.

Especially in the past two years, with the subway extension to the north side of the city, many people chose to develop there.

The number of tenants in that apartment building became even fewer.

But for them, this could be said to be a good thing. They could completely rent out the vacant Rooms in that apartment building to serve as temporary residences for the arriving seniors.

Pang Tao stroked his chin. At this point, they had already walked out of the Pet Park.

He looked at the not-very-wide and not-very-flat road outside the Pet Park, deep in thought.

After a while,

he turned to look at Xu Zhengming.

“You know, shouldn’t we repair this road to our Pet Park? Otherwise, after the Pet Park opens, no matter how good it is inside, this road will probably deter many people.”

The road, huh!

Xu Zhengming also looked up at the dilapidated road in front of him, and it indeed seemed a bit unreasonable.

To get rich, build roads first.

How could they have forgotten this saying?

“Indeed, why don’t we build a road? This road can connect to the future senior apartment complex and lead directly to Jiang City. And if the number of visitors increases in the future, a parking lot will definitely be needed, so building a parking lot near the Pet Park is also very necessary.”

“I also have the same idea. General Manager Chen’s additional investment of 5 million at the beginning of the month, we still don’t know what to do with it, so let’s invest it in this road. Only with smooth roads will more tourists be willing to come.”

Pang Tao looked at the dilapidated road in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Then it’s settled. And building roads will also be of great help to the villages around here. When I go to rent the land, I’ll see if I can get some policies.”

Xu Zhengming spoke slowly.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of General Manager Chen’s regular additional investments.

They had only considered the construction of the Pet Park before, but completely overlooked other aspects, only thinking that the previous investment was enough for the construction of the Pet Park.

Now it seemed that their vision was completely shortsighted.

How could General Manager Chen’s investments only be for them to build the Pet Park?

Some surrounding facilities must also be within General Manager Chen’s plan, which is why he kept making additional investments.

Just like the road construction they had just thought of.

And from this, he thought of many surrounding facilities, such as: Pet Hospital, pet grooming…

As long as the Pet Park’s reputation is established and the number of daily visitors continues to increase, these surrounding facilities can all be sources of increased revenue for the Pet Park.
