"Okay, okay. To be honest, we in Wanchuan Township very much welcome you to invest and build a factory."
"Okay, okay..."
Huang Jianjun was watching in a trance when Huang Zhiqiu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
Huang Jianjun thought that Huang Zhiqiu had thought it through and decided to give up renting the school's land, so he stood up and exchanged a few polite words with Secretary He, then took Huang Qingning away with him.
In the corridor, Huang Zhiqiu went straight to the middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the township government.
"Hello, leader. My last name is Huang. I am from Liu'an Town. I want to rent the land from the school to start a bamboo weaving factory."
The middle-aged man looked at Huang Zhiqiu, his attitude was not enthusiastic, "The rent of that piece of land is not cheap, the lease term starts at ten years, and we have to build a road for the village for free."
"I know this, I..."
"Zhi Qiu, stop messing around!"
Before Huang Zhiqiu could finish his words, he was pulled aside by Huang Jianjun.
"I'm sorry, we don't rent that land anymore."
At this time, Secretary He also walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered to him the identities of Huang Zhiqiu and the other two.
After listening to Secretary He's introduction, Village Chief Lu looked at the three people with sudden enlightenment.
"I think you should go back and discuss it. Ah, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer. Xiao He, you can send them out."
After saying this, without waiting for Huang Zhiqiu and the other two to respond, Township Chief Lu went straight back to his office and closed the door.
This was a disguised rejection and expulsion. Director He looked at the three people in embarrassment and said, "Sister Huang, how about you go somewhere else and have a look?"
"Director He, we are really sorry to trouble you. We will leave first."
Huang Jianjun responded and pulled Huang Zhiqiu out.
Secretary He was still polite, "No trouble, I'll take you out."
"No, no, we can just go by ourselves."
Huang Jianjun didn't let go of her hand until they walked out of the gate of the township government. He turned around and saw that Huang Zhiqiu was unhappy. He guessed that she had not given up the idea yet, so he couldn't help but persuade her earnestly.
"Zhiqiu, don't be stubborn. We can't afford to rent this land. What can we do with such a big mountain? Isn't this just throwing money away?"
This time, Huang Qingning no longer stood on Huang Zhiqiu's side.
"Aunt, I also think this piece of land is too expensive. In the end, the rent alone will be tens of thousands a year. We may not be able to earn this much in a year by running this bamboo weaving factory."
After being persuaded by the father and daughter and feeling the cold wind, Huang Zhiqiu realized that she had been a little impulsive just now.
When she heard that a group of out-of-town investors were interested in acquiring the land, she rushed out without giving it much thought.
"Brother, Qingning, you are right. Forget it, let's go somewhere else to have a look."
Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu had given up his obsession with the land, both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Huang Zhiqiu borrowed the phone at the front desk of the guesthouse and briefly explained the situation of the school's land.
Based on Yun Mo's vision and estimation of land prices in the next few years, the rent of that land is not high at all. Just think about the housing prices in the future, where it is common for prices to double in one day.
For a good piece of land, the rent has increased by 50% in two years which is really not expensive, and it also comes with a mountain of several hundred acres.
In Huang Jianjun's view, this barren mountain is a worthless burden and encumbrance, but Yun Mo thinks it is a treasure.
With both water and mountains, she can turn the barren mountains into bamboo forests. Then the bamboo weaving factory will even save money on buying raw materials.
"Mom, go talk to the township government tomorrow. As for the rent, I have two options. One is to increase it every three years, but not more than 35%; the other is to increase it every two years, but not more than 30%. This is my bottom price. If they can accept it, you can sign the contract with them directly.
Mom, before you go tomorrow, withdraw all the 4,000 yuan in your passbook. If the rent is agreed, the 5,000 yuan will be used as a deposit.
The rent is paid once a year. I will pay this year's rent within half a month after signing the contract. The township requires the free construction of the road, and we can promise to complete it within one year of signing the contract.
That's all for now, Mom, do you remember it?"
Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect that Yun Mo was still determined to rent the land. She was about to persuade her, but Yun Mo on the other end of the phone didn't give her the credit.
"Mom, try to sign a longer lease, the longer the better, 30 or 50 years is fine. No matter which party breaches the contract, they must pay compensation and bear the corresponding economic losses. This clause must be included in the contract terms."
After saying that, Yun Mo was still a little worried, "Mom, how about this? Tomorrow you can hire a lawyer to go with you and ask him to help check the contract and make sure there are no loopholes in the terms."
Huang Zhiqiu nodded subconsciously, and then realized that his daughter on the other end of the phone couldn't see him, so he quickly said, "I'll remember... Hey, no, Momo, do you want to think about it again? The rent of one yuan is so expensive, and the land is so big, it's not cost-effective for us to rent it..."
"Mom, just go ahead and do it. I'll take care of the money."
Huang Zhiqiu still felt uncertain. "When I think about having to pay tens of thousands of yuan in rent every year, I get terrified."
"Don't panic, Mom. Don't you think that piece of land is tailor-made for us? There are mountains and water. We don't have to go to the countryside to buy bamboo in the future. How much shipping and material costs can we save by planting a mountain of bamboo ourselves?
We have hundreds of acres of bamboo forest, we can't even use them all, and we can even sell some to others. With that in mind, do you still think the rent is expensive?"
After being comforted by Yun Mo, Huang Zhiqiu's uneasy heart finally calmed down.
—
"Brother, Momo and I have already discussed it and plan to rent the land from the school."
Huang Jianjun was originally lying on the bed resting, but when he heard this, he jumped up from the bed like a fried fish.
"Zhiqiu, didn't you give up the idea this afternoon? Why did you change your mind after talking to Momo on the phone?"
Huang Qingning was also confused, "Aunt, have you explained it clearly to my cousin? The rent is going to go up every two years, and we have to help the village build roads. If we don't make any money, we will have to pay for it."
Huang Zhiqiu told the father and daughter about Yun Mo's idea of planting a bamboo forest.
"I think Momo's idea is very far-sighted. If such a large mountain is planted with bamboo, we can make a lot of money just from selling bamboo every year."
Huang Jianjun was skeptical. "That hilltop looks barren and barren. Can we really grow bamboo there?"
"Brother, I'm not sure about planting other things, but bamboo is definitely okay."
