Chapter 290 Take

Zhong Huike didn't care how others laughed at them, just laugh as much as she could. Once the garbage dump was developed, those people's smiles would become more beautiful.

Compared with the last time, there were very few people bidding at this auction. The city government was also afraid that no one would want the land, so the auction price was initially set at 7.63 million, which was even less than Zhong Xiong expected.

Although it is a garbage dump, given its large size, there are still people who are interested in it.

At the beginning of the auction, Zhong Xiong added 100,000 yuan. There were also several other bosses who, although not very active in raising the price, occasionally raised their hands.

"Eight million and sixty thousand." The price was slowly raised.

"Eight million five hundred and sixty thousand." The other party raised the price again.

Zhong Hui was sweating all over, but she was still a little nervous: "Brother, hurry up and add more."

Zhong Xiong, on the other hand, was quite relaxed: "Don't worry, look at the person opposite, he's already getting impatient."

Sure enough, when Zhong Xiong raised the price again to 8.6 million, the other party stopped bidding and several other competitors also gave up.

Zhong Xiong and his sister finally bought the land of the garbage dump for 8.6 million yuan.

"Brother, how do you know he doesn't add it anymore?" Zhong Hui was very curious.

Zhong Xiong smiled and pointed at the man, saying, "What a familiar face! Chang Mian works at the municipal government."

Zhong Hui couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Does the government also need a babysitter?

Whether Zhong Hui believed it or not, the land was bought, and the brother and sister both breathed a sigh of relief.

This price is well worth it. Today went really smoothly without any unexpected problems.

Just as Zhong Hui was feeling emotional, the brother and sister discovered a problem as soon as they signed the contract.

"Director Duan, won't the government help clean up the garbage in this landfill?" Zhong Xiong was a little dumbfounded when he saw the terms in the contract that required the government to deal with the garbage in the landfill on its own.

Director Duan was also a little embarrassed. Seeing that Zhong Xiong was still hesitant to put pen to paper, he quickly said, "Well, it's like this. The government is short of funds, but we promise, we will make a notice that starting next week, all garbage cannot be dumped here."

"How do we deal with more than five acres of garbage?" Zhong Hui asked.

"It can be transported to the Xingshan Waste Disposal Center. There is a lot of space there, so there won't be any problem at all." Director Duan said with a smile.

"So, we have to pay for the garbage disposal and transportation ourselves?"

"That's not the wrong understanding." Director Duan was extremely embarrassed. This was a loophole left by the municipal government. The fee was really too high. If it was added to the auction price, it would probably not be sold.

Zhong Xiong was a shrewd man, and he refused to suffer any loss. He continued to laugh and joke with Director Duan: "Director Duan, they didn't say during the auction that we had to pay for the expenses ourselves. That's another expense. My brother and I have used all our funds on this garbage dump. We don't know when we will be able to go back after the garbage is cleared."

"Don't think I'm slow when the time comes. I do have difficulties."

This won't do. The province will be inspecting the city's appearance next month, and this garbage dump will be among the sites being inspected.

Director Duan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll help you contact the sanitation department to clean up the garbage first, and they'll be responsible for transporting it. Of course, you still have to pay for it. Will you pay in installments?"

Zhong Xiong chuckled. Installment payment sounds good, but he still has to pay for it.

"Thank you, Director Duan. You're so thoughtful." Zhong Xiong nodded enthusiastically, then changed the subject, "When we build the house, please take care of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development."

"That's for sure, no problem." Director Duan agreed quickly, and Zhong Xiong did not refuse. After signing the contract and paying the money, the landfill land belonged to Zhong Hui and Zhong Xiong.
