"……"
Xu Duo felt a bit helpless, silently thinking to herself that her uncle really had a big heart. The recent revelation about the ownership of the building was no small matter. Whether it was ordinary people or the wealthiest of the wealthy, hearing that someone owned a building of over 13,000 square meters in deep South City would definitely be a shock. After all, once the area is demolished, its value could easily be counted in the billions!
"Xiao Duo, don't joke around with your uncle. The housing prices in Deep South City are so high. If it really gets demolished, just sell the house you get in exchange," Xu Shuo's wife, Xu Xiao Shan, who wasn't an ordinary woman, spoke with a serious tone. She had worked outside for many years and had seen the world. "If you want to give us a house, we can't accept it. A 200-square-meter house could cost millions."
"Not just millions. With the way prices are going in Deep South City, do you believe that in five years, a 200-square-meter house could be worth 20 million?" Xu Xiao Shan's perspective was even broader. She was very clear on the city's situation.
"Yes, this is the city's central core area. If it's exchanged on the original site, a single square meter will cost no less than 150,000. At 150,000 per square meter, a 200-square-meter house would be 30 million," Xu Shuo said with more certainty.
"Alright, uncle, aunt, let's not talk about that anymore!" Xu Duo quickly interrupted, realizing that further discussion would lead to no practical conclusions, especially since it was all years down the road. She tilted her head slightly, asking softly, "Uncle, what's the progress on the old building's renovation?"
"The construction company is working hard on it, splitting into two teams, working three shifts," Xu Shuo immediately returned to the main topic, seriously reporting. "The progress on the old building renovation is especially fast. They estimate that within a week, the whole place will be done. The renovation isn't that complicated, just tearing down some walls and making a few partitions."
"Since it's just going to be a warehouse, you don't need complicated renovations, so the progress is quick. The only tricky part is that you wanted to widen the original freight elevator."
"But… is it really necessary to have such a big elevator?" Xu Shuo asked, puzzled.
"It's necessary!" Xu Duo nodded seriously, patiently explaining, "This warehouse will have freight trucks coming in and out, and it'll be loading and unloading whole containers. A small freight elevator can't handle a container."
She had carefully planned all of this ahead of time. The containers would carry the recycled items, and different people would handle the loading and transportation. The containers wouldn't be opened during transit, ensuring that secrets would be kept, and allowing her to quietly complete the renovations without anyone noticing. If needed, she also planned to rent several other warehouses to further scatter the containers, making things even more confusing and ensuring better secrecy. Though this might seem a little complex and redundant, compared to the major secret of the renovation system, it was all worth it.
"No wonder you had to knock through a room on the first floor, so the trucks could drive in?" Xu Shuo finally understood.
"Exactly!" Xu Duo nodded lightly and continued, "I'll contact the elevator company tomorrow to make sure they come to install the large freight elevator as soon as possible."
"By the way, I'll be buying several forklifts in the next few days. You'll need to help me receive them."
"I'll also be getting some small containers delivered. Please keep an eye out for them. Additionally, I'll contact the gantry crane company to see if they can install a small crane!"
Xu Duo was always someone who planned everything in advance, and these plans had been brewing for quite a while now.
"Containers and gantry cranes? Are you turning this place into a freight yard?" Xu Shuo shook his head with a bitter smile, increasingly unable to understand his niece. He wouldn't oppose, but he also had his own thoughts and suggestions, "You need to consider whether the building can handle the load. If you stack dozens of tons of goods on the first floor, won't the ceiling collapse? You have to think this through."
"The old building definitely can't handle that. We'll only store lighter items there. The new building is fine. When the construction started, I already instructed the company about the ceiling and building materials, and everything meets the requirements."
Xu Duo was too smart to make such a basic mistake. Her tone was gentle but confident. "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
"That's good!" Xu Shuo finally relaxed, but then brought up another point, "If that's the case, you might still need to buy additional trucks."
"Definitely, but not urgent. Having our own fleet is much better than letting others profit from it," Xu Duo said firmly.
It seemed like she was just setting up a warehouse, but as Xu Shuo had mentioned, the way she was doing things made it look more like a massive freight yard. Where else would you find a warehouse with containers, big freight elevators, and even small gantry cranes? She was definitely thinking big.
