She received a new era cultural education, her thoughts were not bound by the dogmas and constraints of the old era, and she advocated freedom and independence in her bones.
"Dad, if you say so, this factory must be set up in our lower village, and the workers must be hired from the lower village. This is called keeping the wealth within the family, right?
But don't you think about it, do we have the conditions in our village? From our village to the town, even tricycles can't get in, how can you transport the goods out? And those people in the village, I don't look down on them, but if they have a little ambition, they would have gone to the city to work and earn money.
Those who remain in the village are either elderly people or lazy people who gamble all day long. Do you dare to recruit these people to work in the factory?"
Huang Jianjun was left speechless by his daughter's refutation.
"Brother, Qingning has a point. We don't care what the villagers say. Anyway, we have a clear conscience."
Huang Jianjun couldn't figure it out for a while. "I just think that we don't have to rent this place. Anshi is so big, I don't believe we can't find a better place."
"But we don't have that much time to waste, and Momo asked me to rent this place because she had her own plans."
Huang Zhiqiu explained Yun Mo's investment theory to the father and daughter verbatim.
"I agree with Momo's idea. As time goes by, land will definitely become more and more expensive. Look at our Lu'an Town. We built several factories last year alone.
The development of Anshi will definitely be faster and better than ours. The school is located in an open area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and close to the national highway. In less than two years, the surrounding area will definitely develop."
"Aunt is right. I heard that many big cities are expanding new urban areas. The towns and villages that were originally on the outskirts of the city have been incorporated into the new urban areas. Even though the school is still far away from the city, it will be close to the city in two years. By then, even if you have money, you may not be able to rent such a good place."
Huang Jianjun looked at his daughter doubtfully, "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, you have to believe my cousin. She's from the city and her family runs a big business. How can her vision be wrong?"
That's true.
Once we have convinced Huang Jianjun, the rest of the things will be easy.
Huang Zhiqiu first went to the post office to withdraw the 5,000 yuan that Yun Mo had remitted to him. He kept one thousand yuan and prepared to go to the township government to negotiate land rent. He deposited the remaining four thousand yuan into Huang Zhiqiu's passbook.
After doing all this, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon. The three of them were hungry, so they found a small noodle restaurant to have a simple lunch, then hailed a three-wheeled motorcycle and hurried to the township government.
When the three arrived at the gate of the township government, they found a black sedan with an out-of-town license plate parked at the gate.
The person who received the three people was the same person from yesterday.
When passing by the village chief's office, Huang Zhiqiu subconsciously looked inside and saw several well-dressed middle-aged men and women sitting inside and talking about something.
"Secretary He, what are those people from the township head's office doing here?"
As soon as he entered the meeting room, Huang Zhiqiu asked subconsciously.
Secretary He smiled and poured a glass of water for each of the three people. "To be honest, they are here to look at the land as well. Coincidentally, they are also interested in the school's land."
When Huang Zhiqiu saw the car and then the people in the village head's office, he had a vague guess.
Now that his guess has been confirmed, Huang Zhiqiu's heart suddenly tightened.
The other party seemed to be quite powerful, could they win? Huang Zhiqiu immediately explained his intention without beating around the bush, "Secretary He, we didn't ask clearly yesterday, how much do you plan to rent the school for?"
Seeing that Director He was looking at him in surprise, Huang Zhiqiu explained, "It's like this. I went back and talked to my daughter about it. She thought the conditions for the road construction were acceptable, so she asked me to come and talk to you again."
Secretary He stood up and took out a hand-drawn topographic map from his desk drawer.
This price was far higher than Huang Zhiqiu's expectations.
In fact, considering the area, the rent of ten thousand yuan a year is not expensive, because the barren mountain behind the school covers an area of hundreds of acres.
But the problem is that they don't need to rent such a big mountain, and there is no use in renting it.
It was an uncultivated barren mountain where even fruit trees could not be grown. It was totally worthless.
What Huang Zhiqiu could not accept was the 50% rent increase every two years.
According to this increasing method, the rent in the first two years was 10,000 yuan/year, in the 3rd and 4th years, the rent was 15,000 yuan/year, in the 5th and 6th years, the rent was 22,500 yuan/year, in the 7th and 8th years, the rent increased to 33,750 yuan/year, and the rent in the last two years soared to 50,000 yuan/year.
50,000 yuan a year in rent, that's too scary! Huang Zhiqiu immediately backed out and wanted to leave, but thinking of her daughter's words, she had no choice but to continue.
——If I miss out on a precious piece of land because of this thousand dollars, I will be so upset that I will die.
Compared with Huang Zhiqiu's indecision, Huang Jianjun was so scared that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
He finally accepted the conditions of building the road, but he didn't expect that the rent of this land would be even more terrifying than building the road.
The rent is going to increase by 50% every two years. Isn't this just stealing money? "Zhiqiu, why don't we just forget it..."
Huang Zhiqiu was torn between his conscience and his desires.
If I agree to it, the rent is too expensive, but if I leave, I feel reluctant.
"Secretary He, the rent should be negotiable. We only want to rent the school. We don't need the hill behind it."
Secretary He smiled and said, "The land has been planned by the township a long time ago. If you want to rent it, you have to rent the whole piece. There is no room for negotiation. As for the rent, there is room for negotiation, but it won't be too much.
To be honest, from what you guys said, the scale of this bamboo weaving factory is not very large, and renting this piece of land is a bit of an overkill, how about you look for other places?"
"Director He is right. Zhiqiu, let's go somewhere else and have a look."
Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu refused to leave, Huang Jianjun became extremely anxious and wanted to use his hammer to pierce the man away.
"Brother, Momo wants this piece of land..."
"Even if she wants it, it depends on whether we have the conditions. If Momo wants to pick the stars in the sky, do you have to go up to the sky to pick them for her?"
"Momo didn't say she wanted the stars, she only said she wanted this piece of land."
“…”
At this moment, there was a greeting from the corridor outside the door.
A few people turned around and found that the people in the township head's office were preparing to leave and were shaking hands and saying goodbye to the leaders of the township government.
Second update ~ It will be free tomorrow, and the update time will be the early morning of the 25th. It will probably be 40,000 to 50,000 words.
