Chapter 36 Buying a Deserted Island
Zheng Guoxing took the two of them to the table in the corner and sat them down. It was neither early nor late, and there were not many customers in the restaurant.
Zheng Guoxing sat down and said immediately: "My brother-in-law asked the leader, the deserted island you are interested in doesn't even have a proper name. There are no resources for tourism investment, and it is even more unrealistic to develop real estate. It has no development value for at least 30 or 40 years.
They calculate the money based on the length of property rights. I think you are just reclaiming wasteland and building houses, and you are not buying or selling land, so the longer the better, right?"
Chen Wenjun nodded vigorously, "Definitely."
Zheng Guoxing smiled even more. "You are reclaiming wasteland. The government encourages it. The land department is offering 30 yuan per mu. They can also help you lay electric wires. Do you accept that?"
His eyes moved back and forth between Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin, waiting for their replies.
Chen Wenjun counted on his fingers and began to calculate, "One mu is 30 yuan, one hundred mu is 3,000 yuan, two hundred mu is 6,000 yuan, and we may not have enough money."
"How much difference?" Zheng Guoxing was more concerned than Chen Wenjun.
Chen Wenjun smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "We don't know exactly how big the wasteland on that island is. We can't tell you. Can we wait until we measure it before deciding?"
"No problem! Are you acceptable to this price?" This is what Zheng Guoxing cares most about.
Chen Wenjun nodded hesitantly, "We don't know whether the price is high or low, but we'll buy whatever size we can afford."
His words were ambiguous, which made Zheng Guoxing undecided.
Lin Qin immediately pointed at the goods and said, "Boss Zheng, let's weigh the goods first, okay?"
"Oh! I almost forgot about the main thing!" Zheng Guoxing and Chen Wenjun weighed the fish and shrimps together and found that Chen Wenjun still had half a bucket of snails that had not been sold. So they simply bought them all and paid 88 yuan for them.
As soon as they left, Zheng Guoxing rode his bike to the Land and Resources Bureau to find Han Dongcai.
"Brother-in-law, I have told Chen Wenjun and his wife about the situation. They asked you to find someone to measure the size of the wasteland. I heard him mutter that 6,000 yuan is not enough. Can you see if it can be cheaper? I will try my best to help you make this happen." Zheng Guoxing said in a low voice.
Han Dongcai patted Zheng Guoxing on the shoulder and said, "Good brother-in-law! Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"
"No problem!"
After Zheng Guoxing explained the situation, he turned around and left.
Han Dong quickly contacted his subordinates to go to the deserted island.
He didn't care about this before, and he didn't know that he could get a bonus for facilitating the land transaction, which would also be of great help in his professional title evaluation, so he had to pay attention to it.
In the afternoon, when Lin Qin and his friends were fishing on the boat, they saw a small diesel-powered fishing boat carrying five or six people to the deserted island they had set their eyes on.
Lin Qin hurried over to find Chen Wenjun.
"Should we go over and see what's going on?"
Chen Wenjun nodded, picked up the bucket and the fishing net and went back with Lin Qin.
By the time their ship approached the gap in the deserted island, the men had already gone in.
The two men hurriedly got off the boat, tied the rope to the banyan tree, and followed in.
The six people who were working looked at the couple.
Chen Wenjun walked towards Huang Qingfeng who was closest to him, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Huang Qingfeng knew Chen Wenjun was a nearby fisherman as soon as he saw his attire, and he was a little indifferent, "We are measuring! If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly and don't delay our work."
Chen Wenjun's expression remained unchanged. He exchanged glances with Lin Qin, then turned and left.
The two men got on the boat and were not angry at all because of each other's contempt. Instead, they continued to work excitedly.
The next day, the two went to Guoxing Hotel again and found that Han Dongcai was there too.
Without waiting for Chen Wenjun to ask, Han Dongcai came over to greet them personally.
He even made tea for the two of them personally. "I've been waiting for you for a while. Guoxing came to tell me about the situation yesterday, and I immediately sent someone to measure it. The data they reported after the measurement was that the entire deserted island belongs to the crystal cave granite geological landform, and there are many dark caves on the raised hills around it. It is unsafe and has no development value.
The only flat land that can be reclaimed is the flat land formed by sedimentation in the center of the island, which is about 82 acres. There is also a circle of undulating slopes, which is larger, with an area of 103 acres, but you can only grow some trees or vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks, and nothing else.
I also discussed this situation with my leader.
The price given is 30 yuan per mu of flat land and 20 yuan per mu of sloping land, with a 70-year property right. I calculated it for you, if you buy all of them, it will be 4,520 yuan, what do you think?"
Chen Wenjun drank a cup of tea, suppressed his inner excitement and said to Han Dongcai: "Brother Han, let me and my wife discuss it first and then give you an accurate answer, okay?"
Han Dongcai immediately stood up and said, "That's great. You guys can discuss it. I still have to go back to work. If you are sure you want to buy it, come to me to apply. I will prepare the materials for you. Then you can go to the Finance Bureau to pay the money. Finally, just hand over the invoice to me and I will issue you the property rights certificate.
Because it is a deserted island, and there are things like naming involved, the application process is a bit complicated, so the sooner the better. "
The two nodded repeatedly.
After watching Han Dongcai leave, they quickly sold the goods to Zheng Guoxing.
After getting the money, the two of them went straight to the Friendship Square Tailor Shop. It happened that the clothes that Lin Qin wanted were all ready, and after paying the bill.
The two quickly returned to the fishing boat.
Lin Qin put her things down, said something to Lin Yi, and went to the rear cabin with Chen Wenjun and closed the doors and windows.
"This price is more than a thousand yuan cheaper than we expected! Buy it! I must buy it!" Lin Qin was so excited that she danced with joy. God knows how uncomfortable she had been feeling along the way.
Chen Wenjun was also excited. "Let's take out the money from the past few days and count it to see how much we have in total."
Counting money is one of their favorite things to do.
Wait for the two of them to sort out the accounts of the past few days.
Lin Qin said slowly: "There are 684.58 yuan, plus the previous 4,165.26 yuan, which makes a total of 4,849.84 yuan.
The price of the wasteland is 4,520 yuan, and we still have a few hundred yuan left, which is enough!"
"Okay, I'll go find Han Dongcai this afternoon. We'll apply first and wait for Han Dongcai to notify us to pay the money." Chen Wenjun grinned. If it weren't for the fact that there was not enough time now, he would have wanted to go there right away.
In order to buy this land, Chen Wenjun rarely missed the afternoon to go fishing.
Lin Qin was not in a hurry to go fishing. Instead, she boiled two pots of hot water and prepared to wash the two children inside and out and let them wear new clothes.
Nowadays, there is no child who doesn’t like to wear new clothes.
When they heard that they could change into new clothes after washing, they couldn't wait to take off all their clothes. Even the shy Chen Pingan was very impatient.
Lin Yi was busy helping to boil water and had no time to ask what Chen Wenjun was doing.
It was only when Chen Wenjun came back that I realized he had gone to buy land.
Lin Yi's expression was so wonderful, "What's going on? Why did you buy it suddenly? Do you have enough money? If not, I have saved some, you can use it!"
He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
"The author has something to say: This price is a reasonable estimate based on the local land price. In 2015, a piece of wasteland of 2,000 mu along the city ring road was sold for more than 600 yuan per mu. The land was used to invest in the construction of a hospital and was a government-supported project, so there was a certain discount. The final land price is determined after negotiation between the development zone and the developer, so the price of land transactions is flexible and there is no exact range."
