While arranging the design work for Honghua Avenue, Sun Zongyu was also busy raising pigs and doing the front and back work.
Under the pretext of supervising the planning and design of Honghua Avenue, Sun Zongyuan went to Kunhe Work Area and met with the new director of the Construction Office, Guo Daoren. He explained the precautions and then came to a gentle slope with Cao Shoubao, secretary of Kunhe Work Area. This area covers more than 20,000 mu. There are no crops or trees growing in the cracks of the rocks. The grass growing in the cracks of the rocks is not very tall. There are so many jujube trees everywhere that even the trouser legs are pricked with needles.
The ground is covered with shale rocks. Locals say that even the snakes and lizards that live here can be burned to death by the rocks if they run too slowly. The nearest village, with fewer than 500 people, is three miles away.
This place is one kilometer away from Kun River, and the Kun River channel here is very wide and the water surface is relatively large, which is suitable for building a dam to store water.
Although the ecology of this place is not good, its location is good. It is only 6 kilometers away from Ganhe City, and the planned Honghua Avenue passes through here. The foundation for building a factory here is surprisingly good. A factory can be built by just making an expansion wire. However, Sun Zongyuan's idea only flashed by. Hey, he still needs to lay a more solid foundation.
I asked the village party secretary Huang Youshan about the land acquisition price. He was a very honest man and said:
"Village Chief Sun, no one wants any of this land. I don't know why it was allocated to our village after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's useless. If you build a factory, give me 150 workers. The land is free, you can take as much as you want!"
Hey, this policy is good. Now the land is divided into construction land, farmland, basic farmland, etc. like in the past. You still have to buy quotas and go through expropriation procedures. If things go wrong, you also have to take satellite images and have farmland protection inspections, etc. I guess this is the country in the world that has the most complicated land management system.
This piece of land cannot be considered as land, because it has no soil, only land. In the 21st century, the functional departments must classify it as basic farmland!
We can't do it without money. Sun Zongyuan is a party member and a senior rural cadre. We won't take advantage of the common people. Besides, who knows what policies will be implemented in the future regarding land? We don't want to end up attracting the attention of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Sun Zongyuan chose a flat area of about 500 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) near a road and a river. He asked the branch secretary, "You only need 150 people, don't you? If this land is full, you have to recruit at least 3,000 people for me. Is that okay?"
"There are only 524 people in my village, and less than 200 of them are able to work. How can we not have that many people?"
Cao Shoubao kicked Huang Youshan and said, "You idiot! Township Chief Sun is giving you a chance to earn a few cents, you idiot!"
"How do you make money?" Huang Youshan protected his butt and dodged Cao Shoubao.
"Idiot, Village Chief Sun, let this idiot and I do this job together. I promise to arrange the right workers for you. If anything goes wrong, come to me!" Cao Shoubao said while holding Sun Zongyuan's watch.
"Okay, you are the boss, Huang Youshan is the deputy. I'll arrange this matter for you. Don't make any mistakes!" Sun Zongyuan saw that Huang Youshan was not a very capable person and was not smart, so he arranged it to Cao Shoubao. But Huang Youshan was indispensable. After all, he was the local tyrant. It was not easy for Sun Zongyuan, a strong dragon, to suppress the local tyrant. If there was a crotch kick, you would be busy for several days. It would cost money and be troublesome. Some jobs would be the same no matter who was assigned to do them.
Later, Cao Shoubao resigned from his public office and worked with Huang Youshan to act as a human resources agent to sell people to companies, and finally made a lot of money.
There are plenty of opportunities, it just depends on who is willing!
In the end, the two parties agreed on a one-time price of 200 yuan per mu of land to buy out the property rights for 70 years. Cao Shoubao and Huang Youshan were responsible for unifying the villagers' thoughts and holding meetings, and Cao Shoubao was responsible for handling the procedures with the relevant departments. Of course, Sun Zongyuan secretly gave him 300 yuan in working funds.
The village meeting unanimously passed the resolution and gave the branch secretary a historic high evaluation:
The stone slabs where no grass grew were sold for 100,000 yuan in one go, 200 yuan per person, which was almost the income of the whole family. All the villagers, from the age of 16 and above who did not go to school to the age of 45, as long as they were healthy, regardless of gender, could go to work in the factory, with a guaranteed monthly salary of 50 yuan. Oh my God, the whole village was in luck.
Sun Zongyuan reported to the secretary and the township head, and Secretary Li Jianguo said:
"That piece of land is really useless. If you like it and want to develop it, try to buy as much as possible."
"If you can acquire tens of thousands of acres of land, you can build roads and develop it yourself, saving us the trouble of working for you. The price may go up in a few years," said Zhao, the village head.
"That needs to be confirmed by documents from the county, otherwise I wouldn't dare."
"As long as you dare to spend money to buy it and develop it, you can ask for as much as you want. Do you dare? If you dare, I will report to the county with Mayor Zhao right now!"
"I dare, but the price shouldn't be too high. I don't have the money."
"Ha, ha, ha, you have no money? You make more in one day than my whole family makes in ten years."
In the afternoon, Secretary Li Jianguo and Township Head Zhao Yuncheng returned from the county and took out a red-headed document and threw it at him:
"Opinions of the Anyang County Party Committee and County Government on Conducting Industrial and Commercial Activities on Rocky Slopes and Rocky Mountains and Other Land Unsuitable for Agricultural Production."
Sun Zongyuan was confused. It couldn't be that fast, could it? Did Old Li and Old Zhao also learn how to make fake certificates?
"We submitted our report this morning, and the county secretary then arranged for the secretary to draft it. Then, at 3:00 PM, the government executive meeting and the county standing committee convened, and it was unanimously approved. Why don't you believe it?"
"Let me consider the area first," said Sun Zongyuan.
When he returned home in the evening, Sun Zongyuan received eight groups of visitors in succession. They were all secretaries and directors of the Kunhe Work Area who came with things in their hands and begged Sun Zongyuan for land. The price was 100 yuan per mu. Indeed, these lands had never contributed to the people since their ancestors. They didn't grow crops, nor did they grow firewood. Walking around the jujube trees would tear your trouser legs. Who would keep such land? Wouldn't it be nice to sell it for money now?
