Huang Qingning became somewhat shaken when he heard that Yun Mo planned to transform the barren mountain into a bamboo forest.

The area around the school is made of yellow mud, which is generally acidic and not good for crop yields, but is very suitable for growing bamboo.

"Dad, why don't you listen to your cousin? If such a big mountain is planted with bamboo forest, it can be worth a lot of money. We have so many paper mills and chopstick factories in Anshi, so there will be no problem in selling bamboo."

Huang Jianjun was not as optimistic as his daughter thought.

"Even if we can plant bamboo, it will take at least four or five years to wait until the bamboos are mature enough to be cut down. It is uncertain whether our bamboo weaving factory can survive until the bamboo forest is mature enough."

"Brother, there are always more solutions than problems. Momo said that as long as we complete this order well, there will be a steady stream of orders in the future, and the business of the bamboo weaving factory will only get better and better.

And as you can see today, many investors are eyeing the school’s land. If they can’t continue to operate it in the future, they can just sublease it out.”

"Yes, Dad, running a factory is just like running a store. If the business doesn't continue, we can sublease the factory."

"You've already said all the good and bad things, what else can I say?"

After being persuaded for a long time by the aunt and nephew, Huang Jianjun nodded reluctantly.

After finishing her phone call with Huang Zhiqiu, Yun Mo returned home and took out all the cash from the safe and space.

After buying the courtyard house, she had less than four thousand yuan left. In order to help Lingchuan take over the ham business, she sold a pair of cloisonné lotus-patterned incense and candle holders for eight thousand yuan, which Lingchuan later returned to her.

Adding the money Lingchuan earned from business during this period, all added up, she had a total of about 15,000 yuan in her hands.

Excluding the five thousand that she had already mailed to Huang Zhiqiu, she still had ten thousand in her hands.

I originally thought that this ten thousand yuan was more than enough to set up a factory, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

The ten thousand was just enough to pay the factory's first year's rent. She also had to find a way to get some money for the factory's initial construction and expenses.

Lingchuan did have some money on hand, but that money had to be kept for paying workers' wages, dividends, and holiday gifts when returning to Anshi, so there probably wouldn't be much left.

After much thought, Yun Mo decided to ask Xie Linan to advance part of the payment for the rice dumpling boxes.

but……

Yun Mo looked at the box of rice dumplings on the desk and felt a little uneasy.

The shape of this rice dumpling box is basically the same as the design she drew, but it lacks beauty and refinement, and looks rather rustic.

To be honest, she herself was a little disgusted, not to mention the picky Xie family.

However, it is not her style to back down when faced with problems. Even if she doesn't make a penny, she has to set up the bamboo weaving factory.

The next day, after breakfast, Huang Zhiqiu took Huang Jianjun and his daughter to see a lawyer.

There are not many lawyers these days. It took me a lot of effort and asking many passers-by before I found a law firm.

The person who received Huang Zhiqiu was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He wore glasses and a tweed suit and looked quite intellectual.

After hearing Huang Zhiqiu's intention, the lawyer smiled and said, "It's not difficult, but our law firm is a long-established law firm in An City, and our fees are more expensive than those of ordinary law firms."

When Huang Zhiqiu heard the word "noble", he felt a little uneasy.

"For cases like legal documents, our fees are 50-100 yuan, mainly based on the lawyer's qualifications. Those with less qualifications are charged relatively cheaper, while those with more qualifications are charged more. But you can rest assured that no matter how experienced they are, our lawyers are absolutely professional."

Huang Jianjun took a breath and said, "Why do you charge so much just to read the terms of the contract?"

The lawyer smiled and said, "You may think that 50 yuan is expensive now, but if we, the professionals, don't help you avoid loopholes and traps in the contract, your losses in the future may be ten times, a hundred times, or even more than 50 yuan."

Although Huang Jianjun had never been to school and did not quite understand what the lawyer said, he did not dare to say anything when he saw the lawyer's serious and logical look.

Huang Zhiqiu was more open-minded. Compared with the rent of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a year, 50 yuan was nothing.

The lawyer arranged a job for Huang Zhiqiu with a young man who looked to be in his early 20s. During a casual chat on the way, he learned that the young man's surname was Ma, he had worked in the law firm for two years, and had just been promoted to a full-time lawyer in January this year.

After listening to Lawyer Ma's self-introduction, Huang Zhiqiu praised him for his ability, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

Lawyer Ma was obviously a person who could read people's expressions. He saw that Huang Zhiqiu did not trust him but was not angry.

"Don't worry, Sister Huang. I have quite a bit of experience in this area. I majored in economics and litigation in college, so handling cases like this is like returning to my old profession."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu finally felt relieved.

"Lawyer Ma, I'd like to ask you to take care of the contract."

"Please rest assured that I will do my best to make sure your money is well spent."

After withdrawing money from the credit union, Huang Zhiqiu took Lawyer Ma to the township government.

They were still riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, and Lawyer Ma didn't mind. He chatted with Huang Zhiqiu about everything along the way. When he learned that Huang Zhiqiu rented the land to set up a bamboo weaving factory, Lawyer Ma even joked that he could be contacted if there were any financial lawsuits in the future.

When the four arrived at the gate of the township government, they ran into Township Chief Lu who was about to leave.

Seeing that it was Huang Zhiqiu and the others again, Village Chief Lu frowned slightly, his tone revealing a hint of impatience.

"Why are you here again?"

"Village Chief Lu, we are here to rent land, the land belonging to the school."

Upon hearing this, the impatience on Township Chief Lu's face turned into surprise, "You want to rent that piece of land?"

Huang Zhiqiu nodded seriously, "Village Chief Lu, why don't we go into your office and discuss it in detail? As long as we can agree on the rent, we can sign the contract today."

After hearing this, Village Chief Lu did not seem very surprised, but rather a little cold.

"I have to go out for a meeting. Let me ask Director He to receive you and you can talk to him."

Knowing that Huang Zhiqiu was determined to rent the school's land, Secretary He was also shocked and stunned.

"Sister Huang, have you thought it through? There is no room for regret once this contract is signed."

Huang Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "We have thought it through. Look, we have brought the deposit. As long as we can agree on the rent, we can sign the contract today."

Secretary He did not expect that Huang Zhiqiu looked gentle on the surface, but his work style was very vigorous and efficient. He could not help but reveal a bit of admiration in his eyes.

"Okay, Sister Huang, I won't beat around the bush. I also leaked the news yesterday that the rent can be negotiated, but there is not much room for negotiation. I want to hear your bottom price first."
