Chapter 287 Zhang Dezhen comes from Hezibao!
Because of an accidental discovery last night, Xu An was writing and drawing until after 1 a.m. before finally falling asleep. It felt like he had just drifted off when the children came downstairs and started making a racket again.
After changing the two children's clothes, Xu An handed them over to Xu Heping to play with the other children. Then he went back to his warm bed and slept until almost 11 o'clock before getting up.
Xu An didn't know where Xu Heping had taken the children to play. When he woke up, he didn't see the children in the village office, and there was no sound of children laughing in the village.
Despite their playful antics, Xu Heping was always a man of principle, and Xu An wasn't worried about the two little ones' safety. He rubbed his rumbling stomach and headed to the kitchen to find something to eat.
But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he bumped into Li Sixin, who was coming out of the next room.
"Are you hungry?" Li Sixin looked at Xu An and smiled. "There's some brown rice porridge that I cooked this morning in the kitchen, along with some braised dishes made by the villagers. Have some to tide you over, and we'll have lunch in about an hour."
"Okay." Xu An replied and walked downstairs side by side with Li Sixin. As they went downstairs, Xu An suddenly remembered the factory building they had talked about with Xu Heping last night, so he asked, "I wonder if there is any vacant land available for rent in Hezibao, and what the price is?"
"Vacant land? What is Mr. Xu planning to do with it? The price varies depending on the purpose, and the plots are also different."
"How much would it cost to build a house? Is it even possible?" Xu An didn't directly state his purpose. Instead, he first laid out a smokescreen to mislead Hezibao: "Look, the air over there is pretty bad, the scenery is nice, and the old people there all live long lives. Once the roads get a bit worse, I'll bring your grandma over for a long stay..."
Xu An's words were so full of loopholes that Hezibao did not believe them and immediately replied.
Before another silence fell, a strong voice rang out.
“The price of homestead land is higher. For example, if it is 100 square meters, the annual rent is 1,400 yuan. When signing the contract, you have to pay seven years’ rent in one lump sum.” He Zibao added, “That is the price for renting to newcomers. The villagers are paid the price for purchasing the land in one lump sum.”
“If we clear a ten-meter buffer zone around the factory and the shore, even if no one wants to cause trouble, they'll have to go outside the mudflats, which will be captured on camera,” Uncle Guosheng suggested.
"Huh? It's with money?" Xu An stopped chewing and exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing Ke Congqiu's words, everyone present fell silent, trying to think of a solution.
Why----
If it's true that Xu An just didn't have that idea last night and was still considering its feasibility, then after hearing what Hezibao said, that idea has transformed from a seed that has just cracked open into a towering tree, taking over his entire heart.
The young man was vague; that method only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause, and wouldn't fundamentally prevent the unsuspecting person from breaking the law later. Besides, such a small factory standing here has very few blind spots in the surveillance system...
The company charges rent for the next eight years, and employees receive a subsidy six months before leaving get off work. The benefits are so good that the company is clearly trying to attract investment.
“Yes, it’s paid with money.” Hezibao nodded heavily and said, “For the next eight years, it’s just a symbolic rent of one yuan per year, with no additional fees.”
“That suggestion was wrong.” Grandpa Qi nodded in agreement: “At most, if we encountered that situation again last time, we could find clues by checking the surveillance footage. It was about using a young man to squat in the bushes and feed mosquitoes.”
Xu An's gaze fell on a plate in the center of the table, with several potatoes drenched in braising sauce hanging on it... braised potatoes... braised food... Xu Heping...
"Although these two thieves haven't revealed their accomplices, judging by this expensive 'poison jar,' there's a small chance that the person behind us is after us. No, I'm not sure if I've got my eye on that mudflat or this hot spring."
Li Sixin nodded in agreement, then said with a troubled expression, "That person is definitely not going to give up so easily. They say there's nothing sinister waiting for us ahead, but you're being vague about who that person is. With such a long coastline, even patrols are just bad patrols..."
Xu An hadn't expected the land rental fees to be so high, but he certainly hadn't imagined they could be that high. To get a clearer picture of the rental situation, Xu An still asked about the rental fees eight years ago: "What about eight years ago? How much were the rents eight years ago?"
The thought that had just arisen in everyone's mind vanished instantly. The annual rental fee for such a small piece of mudflat was only two or eight million, so the rent for the factory was too expensive. Renting was expensive, really expensive.
"No, that's impossible. We rented the factory as well, precisely because we were afraid..."
Grandpa Qi suddenly sighed, shook his head and laughed, "I never imagined that such a factory would become a dangerous hidden danger!"
"In your opinion..." Before hearing the whole story, Grandpa Qi said slowly, "That 40% probability isn't because of the hot spring. The mudflats have been idle for many years, and people have been interested in them. How come you just rented it out for development, and someone else has already taken a liking to it here?"
Perhaps it was the word 'factory' that touched a nerve in Hezibao, because I carefully examined Xu An for a while before shaking my head vigorously and laughing, "If it's land for a factory, it's money!"
