May Day came in a flash, and the station welcomed its first peak period in four years.
Schelling blew his whistle very loudly to express his excitement.
The tourists were also very excited because the check-in point at the food station had been restored and everyone had a place to play.
It’s not that there are no other places to visit in Huai County, but the market town is close, so eating, drinking and having fun here are cheaper!
Sitting on a chair under the pear tree, looking at the huge crowds of tourists, Zhou Xiang urged his third brother and Zuo Heng, who had returned to look for business opportunities, to cheer up. "As living standards improve, spiritual enjoyment becomes scarce. A tourist attraction suitable for adults and children is definitely the best project to attract investment."
Combined with the elegant and unique wooden villas, it will attract tourists of all ages. This time, I will invest 90% and share 50%, and you will invest 10% and share 50%, creating a landmark in Huai County."
To be honest, it was also Zuo Heng's first time to seriously visit the food station. Most of the people queuing in front of the pigpen were young parents with their children, but there were no middle-aged or elderly people. He then thought of the stage in Yuhu Park and the shopping mall, as well as the tunnel belonging to the town government. It was no wonder that the market town could be so lively, as it really had amusement facilities for all ages.
"Zhou Xiang, do you really think Huai County's population base can support a large amusement park?"
"I have two options," Zhou Xiang pondered. "One is the pure excitement type like in the capital. This requires a spacious flat land and the investment of various amusement facilities. It requires a lot of money. Given the population base of Huai County, I can't predict whether it can pay off in more than ten years.
The other option is to contract a natural ecological garden nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and then build relatively gentle recreational facilities on the original basis, as well as the wooden villas I mentioned, which will be suitable for a family of all ages to play, and then add shops and restaurants. Of course, the prices of these two shops cannot be inflated.
This kind of ecological garden can see the future, and the cost should be cheaper than building those kinds of adventurous and exciting amusement equipment."
"An ecological garden nestled between mountains and water?" Zuo Heng looked at Zhou Xiang. "Do you know where one is in Huai County?"
"I know!" After letting go of the depression in her heart, Zhou Xiang saw things more clearly than she had originally thought. She wanted to live a happy life again. Other people's worries and troubles had nothing to do with her. At this moment, her eyes were full of smiles.
"You know, Huai County has many rivers and streams, and the mountains are just hills. Very few places have the conditions of being surrounded by mountains and water. After all, we're neither in the south nor in the north, but our climate is similar to the north, without the mountains."
"Oh, sister, don't beat around the bush," Zhou Hua said anxiously. He and Zuo Heng had searched almost every suburb of the county, but hadn't found a suitable location. "Just tell me a place, and we'll go check it out."
"There's a mountain about five kilometers south of the city where mountains, forests, plains, and streams coexist. It depends on whether you can take it or not."
Xishan was not developed until a few years later. Perhaps due to the developer's lack of financial resources and vision, Xishan was not made into a famous tourist attraction in Zhucheng. Now Huai County lacks funds and it is rare to have anyone invest in it.
I don’t know if the county will take my money and return it to me after I invest.
"Zuo Heng, let's go quickly." Zhou Hua pulled Zuo Heng and was about to leave. He was a little anxious because he had been living off the savings in recent months!
"Wait," Zhou Xiang stopped the two of them, "Zuo Heng, you can mention my name. The county still owes me 250 million!"
Zuo Heng nodded. The county would definitely be willing to use the land to pay off the debt. Moreover, since Zhou wanted to participate in the investment, the county would feel more at ease.
A few days later, Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua came back with Ji Bin.
"Sister, we have already taken over the area over Xishan, the 20-kilometer stretch along the stream, the more than 300 square kilometers of hills in the east, and the more than 100 square kilometers of wild grassland in the west." Zhou Hua spoke as soon as he sat down.
"How much did you get it for?" Zhou Xiang smiled. His third brother now had something to do and was much more cheerful than when he was in the capital.
"Twenty-five million, 50 years." Zuo Heng took out a file bag and wanted to pull out the contract inside.
"Don't show it to me," Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "I said I'd be a hands-off manager. Now, how much do you want me to invest? How much are you planning to invest?"
Zuo Heng still opened the file bag and took out a bank card. "Here is 25 million, given by the county. I want you to reduce the loan by 50 million."
Zhou Xiang refused to accept the offer. "Think of it as an investment! You two can put up 5.5 million yuan and quickly register a company."
"Don't we need to write a joint venture agreement? Aren't you afraid that we will embezzle all the funds?" Ji Bin said with a smile.
After returning, he traveled around Huai County. After the entire small county town was rebuilt, the commercial street, shopping market, and ground-floor shops almost covered all the livelihood needs of the county residents. He really couldn't find any good projects that could be innovated.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiang provided suggestions and even selected an address. After the three of them went there, they were immediately fascinated by the pristine beauty. If it were not for its far distance from the county town and the difficult roads, it would probably become a good place for leisure without development.
"How can that be? Even brothers have to settle accounts!" Zhou Xiang didn't want his closest friends to become enemies over money. "Finish drafting the joint venture agreement, list all the clauses, print it out, and we'll sign it. I mean, don't waste time, get to work!"
"Zhou Xiang," Zuo Heng put away the bank card, "We want to borrow someone from you."
"who?"
"Xiao Chen."
From the time he saw Xishan to the time he signed the contract yesterday, Zuo Heng had countless ideas in his mind, but he needed someone who could actually carry them out. Xiao Chen had renovated the forecourt of a food station and a post station before, so with his experience, it would be easier for him to understand his ideas. What he wanted was an authentic health amusement park without any artificiality.
The post station built by Xiao Chen can be integrated with the cement floor and brick and tile houses of the food station. The Zhou family's pavilion can also be integrated with the four-story villa in the market town. This is exactly the kind of integration he needs, a very harmonious integration with the surrounding scenery.
Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen currently holds the position of Director of the Art Department at school. This "Art Department" sounds nice, but in reality, it manages the school's flowers, plants, and trees, maintains the exteriors of various buildings, and the image of the school gate. It wouldn't be a bad idea to transfer him out to do that.
However, Zhou Xiang made a suggestion, "Zuo Heng, I suggest you give him some shares and let him take a percentage based on the amount of investment."
Zuo Heng and the others had already benefited from him, and they could give out a little bit of their share to win people's hearts. Zhou Xiang didn't think that the amusement park only needed to invite Xiao Chen this once, so it would be better to tie Xiao Chen down with benefits.
"Okay! I agree," Zuo Heng nodded immediately. What Zhou wanted to say was also what he had been thinking in his heart, but he had not had time to say it out loud. Since Zhou wanted to bring it up, he naturally didn't have to worry about Zhou Hua and Ji Bin disagreeing with him.
Zhou Hua also agreed, "Yes, use the shares to lock him up."
Zhou's words made Ji Bin, who was a little confused, change his mind. "I agree. The motivation to work for yourself is different."
