Tang Xuezhen took Lin Chuan directly to the city's department in charge of land use.
That brick factory itself is state-owned, so whatever its intended use, it must be handled officially.
"Old Tang, what brings you here?"
Minister Li was quite surprised to see Tang Xuezhen, and stood up cheerfully to greet him.
Tang Xuezhen introduced Lin Chuan with a smile, "If it weren't for my brother needing to take care of something, I wouldn't have come to your place, Lao Li."
Minister Li looked surprised. "Your brother?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chuan, who was standing next to Tang Xuezhen.
"Old Tang, when did you get such a younger brother? Your brother is quite the handsome young man."
Tang Xuezhen was very proud of himself. "That's right."
"Da Chuan, this is Minister Li." Tang Xuezhen introduced them to each other. "Old Li, this is my younger brother, Lin Chuan."
Tang Xuezhen brought his people over, and Minister Li invited them to sit down.
Lin Chuan explained what he wanted to do this time.
Minister Li called over an officer to check the files.
Not long after, the clerk returned. "Minister, this brick factory closed down in October of the year before last."
As he spoke, he handed a document to Minister Li.
After looking at it, Minister Li said, "This brick factory can be rented. Following the procedures, there will be no problem at all. The rent is 12 cents per square meter per month. But Lin Chuan, this brick factory looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it is a full 2,000 square meters. That is no small amount."
"This isn't about renting it for a few days or a month. If you want to rent this land out, you need to sign a three-year contract at the very least. Do the math, how much will that cost?"
Lin Chuan really didn't expect the minimum lease term to be three years. He originally thought that he could rent for a maximum of one year first, and it didn't matter what.
So, the rent for three years would be 8,640.
Then all the money he has will be spent on rent.
But what if we don't rent it?
If he remembered correctly, the land was rented out to someone else to open a beverage factory within two months, and business was booming afterward.
"Minister Li, is the three years' rent to be paid in one lump sum, or can it be paid in installments over three years?" Lin Chuan asked.
Minister Li said, "The contract will definitely be for three years, and the rent can be paid in installments over three years, but a two-month deposit is required."
After Minister Li said that, Lin Chuan felt much better.
If it's a strict rule that he must pay for three years, he'll have no choice but to rent it and then find other ways to make money.
However, he needs to think about when he can apply for a bank loan.
He recalled that when the policy was first implemented, the procedures were very simple, just to encourage people to take out loans.
After all, people's minds were not open at that time, and not many dared to spend the money they borrowed from the bank.
Lin Chuan readily agreed, "Okay, three-year contract, I'll rent it!"
Minister Li was extremely surprised.
He didn't look down on Lin Chuan, but he was surprised that this handsome young man, dressed very simply and looking quite young, wanted to rent a place for three years.
"Lin Chuan, even if you pay for a year upfront, plus two months' deposit, it's still over three thousand yuan. You need to think this through."
Is it worthwhile to invest so much money into such a large, abandoned area?
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Minister Li, I've thought it all out. Just tell me what procedures are needed, and I can pay the fourteen months' rent once the procedures are completed."
Minister Li repeatedly praised, "Indeed, the student has surpassed the teacher. Today's young people are remarkable, they have such great courage."
Tang Xuezhen looked at Lin Chuan; this young man was indeed full of courage.
He was always different from others.
Just like how he dared to save his life even though he didn't know him.
Fortunately, he trusted Lin Chuan.
This was the best thing he ever did!
Because Tang Xuezhen was there, Lin Chuan's procedures were completed very quickly.
The officer next to him led Lin Chuan to fill out forms and write applications. After all the materials were submitted, the officer told Lin Chuan, "The materials need to be sent up for review today. Come find me tomorrow afternoon and bring the rent money with you."
Lin Chuan thanked him repeatedly.
As I left Minister Li's office, I encountered Tang Xuezhen along the way. Those who knew him would greet him and address him as "Director Tang."
Lin Chuan thought to himself, it seems that the person who was promoted to bureau chief after Tang Xuezhen's death in his previous life did not succeed this time.
Tang Xuezhen has been successfully promoted to bureau chief.
After leaving the municipal government, Tang Xuezhen still had to go back to her own workplace to continue her work.
"Brother, you go ahead with your work. I'll take the bus to the guesthouse. I'm going to find my two brothers; they must be getting impatient."
"Okay, then let's meet at Dongfeng Hotel at noon."
After making the arrangements, Lin Chuan took the bus back to the guesthouse.
Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong were indeed getting impatient; they didn't know if Lin Chuan's plans were going smoothly.
As soon as Lin Chuan entered, he said cheerfully, "Things went very smoothly."
Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong were overjoyed.
When going out to run errands, it's best if everything goes smoothly.
"I'll take you two to meet the older brother I've made friends with at noon. He's a very loyal and righteous person."
Sun Xiangdong exclaimed, "Da Chuan, you're really amazing! You've made new friends so quickly."
Lin Chuan explained, "It's not exactly new. My older brother asked me to come when I came to Xuancheng to help out last time."
Zhang Xianglong understood. "Oh, right, I remember now."
Lin Chuan checked the time and said, "Let's go to the restaurant. My older brother is treating."
When the three of them arrived at the Dongfeng Hotel, Tang Xuezhen had not yet arrived.
Lin Chuan asked the waiter, "Do you have any private rooms available?"
"Yes, this way please."
The environment inside the private room was even better than it looked from the outside.
Zhang Xianglong said, "Since they're treating, won't they charge extra for the private room?"
Lin Chuan laughed and said, "No, they're all the same price."
Only then did Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong feel relieved.
Lin Chuan added, "My older brother's name is Tang Xuezhen. He is the director of the Xuancheng City Grain and Oil Reserve Bureau. There's no need to mention what he does. We're just having a normal meal."
When Lin Chuan said that, Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong were both dumbfounded.
"What did you say? Director?" Sun Xiangdong's eyes widened.
Zhang Xianglong leaned back and said, "I've never had a meal with an official as high-ranking as a bureau chief before, Da Chuan, are you serious?"
"Whether it's a bureau chief or some other leader, they all have a head, a nose, and two eyes. There's no difference. He's a good person, so you don't need to be reserved."
Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong exchanged a glance, and then their gazes toward Lin Chuan held an added layer of admiration.
Sun Xiangdong exclaimed repeatedly, "Da Chuan, you've really broadened our horizons! We've eaten well, stayed in good places, and even leased such a large plot of land to build a factory. Now we can even have dinner with the bureau chief, my goodness!"
