Chapter 494 Contracting a Small Mountain
The village chief and several others gathered together to study the agreement, and Lin Xia waited on the side.
Yang Hongmei looked at another agreement. The terms on it were very favorable to Wangjia Village. There were no restrictions unless they breached the contract or deliberately violated the agreement.
"Is this good for us?" Yang Hongmei asked Lin Xia in a low voice.
Lin Xia nodded. In fact, in addition to the familiarity with this place, the more important reason was that Lin Xia wanted to lend a helping hand.
The villages on the edge are really poor.
"Comrade Lin, this condition is too good for us, but it's a little..." The village party secretary hesitated. It was really too good, which made people feel a little nervous.
If this agreement is signed, their village will be able to earn income immediately. Now is autumn, which is the season for harvesting fruits.
She just doesn't collect those fruits. Except for some collected by the public society and shipped out, most of them are consumed by herself or rot on the trees.
Seeing that they had figured it out, Lin Xia said, "Actually, I want to buy the small hillside west of your village."
It is certainly not enough to just collect the fruit from the village. This is only enough for the early stage of the food factory. When it comes to large-scale production later, of course, a fixed orchard is still needed.
Of course it is best to contract it yourself, and when the orchard is built to scale, it can be turned into a tourist destination in the future.
After hearing Lin Xia's words, the village chief and others looked at each other. They didn't expect that Lin Xia had such an intention.
"What do you want to do after buying it?" There are some wild trees on the small hillside. It belongs to the collective and children love to play there.
Lin Xia actually wanted to make a decision before the regulations were issued, so that buying and selling would not be allowed after two years.
"Planting fruit trees." Lin Xia said truthfully. The village chief and the others were stunned. "Then the agreement you made with us to collect the fruit is invalid now."
Lin Xia smiled and asked directly, "How many thousand kilograms of mangoes can your village produce every year?"
The village chief estimated: "It's probably about two to three thousand kilograms."
This number may seem like a lot, but for a food factory, it is nothing. Lin Xia said directly: "This number is not enough, so I want to grow some myself."
Yang Hongmei was surprised to hear the number. When she heard Lin Xia say it was not enough, her eyes widened, but it was not easy to persuade Lin Xia in front of others.
When the village chief and his companions heard this, they were indeed full of disbelief, but they were no longer so wary of Lin Xia's plan to buy land.
"This matter is too big. We have to report it to the commune." The village chief replied after hesitating.
Lin Xia understood, and she didn’t know that the public society would not agree, but she added: “If buying is not possible, please ask if contracting is possible for me.”
As soon as the village chief heard about the contract, he knew that if it was this request, the commune would most likely agree. After all, a piece of useless land could actually generate income, which was a great thing for the commune and the village.
"What about this agreement?" The village chief picked up the agreement in his hand and asked Lin Xia if he could sign it.
Lin Xia smiled and said, "Let's sign together after we have a conclusion on the land issue."
When the village chief heard this, he knew that if neither of the two outcomes regarding the land issue was acceptable, then the agreement would be invalid. After all, their village was not the only one that grew fruit.
There are even more villages nearby that grow fruit trees, so it seems he needs to say more good things about this land.
When they left the village chief's house, Yang Hongmei had a lot to say, but was stopped by Lin Xia's eyes.
After walking a long way out of the village, Yang Hongmei asked, "Are you really planting fruit trees on the land you leased?"
Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy fruit when we can’t even afford to eat these days?
Not to mention that transportation is still a problem, otherwise why don’t the villagers sell it themselves?
Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, plant fruit trees."
She knows the progress. Even though she can't afford to eat now, it doesn't mean she can't afford to eat fruit in the future.
When people's lives get better and better, they will no longer just pursue having enough to eat.
But Lin Xia couldn't explain these things to Yang Hongmei, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's go back to the family area."
As expected, Yang Hongmei's attention was fully focused on the family quarters. The two of them walked along a road that was familiar yet unfamiliar in their memory, with tall coconut trees on both sides of the road.
As expected, the two of them caused a sensation when they arrived at the family area. Compared to Lin Xia, who interacted less with others, Yang Hongmei had lived here for more than ten years.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the village, and people came up to talk to them wherever they went.
The two stayed in the family area for a long time, with Yang Hongmei mainly chatting. The sisters-in-law who had met Lin Xia last time did not come over this time.
He was quite far away from her and spoke very politely.
Zhou Hong whispered to Lin Xia that this was because after they left last time, when everyone found out that she was the captain's wife, many people's faces froze.
I felt a little nervous when I met Lin Xia this time.
Lin Xia laughed when she heard this. She didn't expect it to be for this reason, but it felt good that no one came to offend her.
The two stayed for a long time and, using the excuse of having to catch the carriage, rejected the good intentions of the old sisters-in-law to stay for dinner.
In fact, when the two arrived in the county town, they went to a state-owned restaurant. Although there were many small shops in the county town, there were still not many restaurants.
After Yang Hongmei sat down in the restaurant, she said, "It's better for us to eat by ourselves. Their conditions are difficult."
Lin Xia nodded. Although the conditions in the army were better than those of ordinary people, everyone had been poor and had developed the habit of frugality in life.
Even when their children have become successful, their generation still cannot change their frugal habits, and the instinct to endure hardship is engraved in their bones.
After they finished their meal, they went home.
After two days, Lin Xia returned to Guangcheng as if she was going to work.
As soon as I returned to the company, I learned that Zhao Feihe and another person had signed the contract.
As soon as Lin Xia returned to the company, Song Huili came to her with a dejected look on her face.
Seeing that she looked a little discouraged, Lin Xia was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
The two contracts signed earlier made Song Huili think that things would not be difficult, but during the two days when Lin Xia was away, she received several customers who all came after seeing the advertisement.
As a result, not a single order was successful, which made Song Huili suspicious. Was there something she did not do well?
Song Huili lowered her head dejectedly and recounted what had happened over the past two days. "Why do you think that happened?"
After hearing this, Lin Xia was not surprised. Instead, she was a little puzzled by her condition. Song Huili has been in high spirits since she came here, and she hasn't seen her so dejected for a long time.
"It's just business! Isn't it normal for there to be success and failure? Maybe they didn't think it was a good idea after seeing it?"
"Only mutual benefit can lead to consensus. It may be that we did not give the other party the conditions they wanted, or they felt it was not suitable."
Song Huili felt a little better after Lin Xia's persuasion, but not much better.
She was unhappy at her previous job, and Lin Xia asked her to come over to help out because of their friendship. If she didn't do a good job, wouldn't that be unfair to Lin Xia?
Song Huili encouraged herself secretly in her heart. It was just a contract negotiation! It was a matter of mutual benefit! She could definitely do it!
Lin Xia saw the competitive expression on Song Huili's face, and suddenly she adjusted herself, still a little puzzled.
"Mr. Lin, I understand! I'm going to get busy!" Song Huili filled up the gas tank, said to Lin Xia with full energy, and then went out again.
Lin Xia looked at her straight back and admired the vitality of young people.
Song Huili went out and found the previous customer information again. She spent time every day thinking it over and comparing it with the previous customers she had signed.
They rack their brains every day to think about how to make customers trust them and believe in their brand.
