"...Okay, let's go back and report to the company leaders and get back to you as soon as possible." The speaker spoke with a strong foreign accent.
"Okay, okay, to be honest, we in Wanchuan Township very much welcome you to invest in building a factory."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Huang Jianjun was lost in thought when Huang Zhiqiu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
Huang Jianjun thought that Huang Zhiqiu had figured it out and wanted to give up renting the school land, so he stood up and greeted Director He for a few words, and then took Huang Qingning and left together.
In the corridor, Huang Zhiqiu went straight to a middle-aged man who looked like a leader of the township government.
"Hello, leader, my surname is Huang and I am from Lu'an Town. I want to rent the land at the school to set up a bamboo weaving factory."
The middle-aged man looked at Huang Zhiqiu, but his attitude was not very enthusiastic, "The rent for that land is not cheap. The lease term starts from ten years, and a road will be built for the village for free."
"I know this, I..."
"Zhiqiu, don't act nonsense!"
Before Huang Zhiqiu finished speaking, he was pulled aside by Huang Jianjun.
"Sorry, we won't rent that land anymore."
At this time, Officer He also walked up to the middle-aged man and introduced the identities of Huang Zhiqiu and the others to him in a low voice.
After listening to Director He's introduction, Township Chief Lu looked at the three of them with a sudden realization.
"I think you should go back and discuss it again. Ah, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Xiao He, please send them out."
After saying that, without waiting for Huang Zhiqiu and the others to respond, Mayor Lu went back to the office and closed the door.
This is tantamount to rejection and expulsion in disguise. Officer He looked at the three of them in embarrassment, "Sister Huang, how about you go somewhere else and try again?"
"Director He, I'm really sorry to trouble you, so we'll leave first."
Huang Jianjun responded and pulled Huang Zhiqiu out.
Director He was still polite, "No trouble, I'll take you out."
"No, no, we can just go on our own."
After walking out of the gate of the township government, Huang Jianjun let go of his hand and turned his head. Seeing Huang Zhiqiu's gloomy look, he guessed that she hadn't given up the idea yet, so he couldn't help but earnestly persuade her.
"Zhiqiu, don't be stubborn. We can't afford to rent this land. What's the use of renting such a big hill? Isn't this just wasting money in vain?"
This time, Huang Qingning did not stand by Huang Zhiqiu's side anymore.
"Sister-in-law, I also think this land is too expensive. In the future, the rent alone will cost tens of thousands a year. We may not be able to earn this amount in a year by running this bamboo weaving factory."
After being persuaded by the father and daughter, the cold wind blew again, and Huang Zhiqiu also realized that she had been a little impulsive just now.
When she heard that the foreign investors were interested in acquiring the land, she rushed out without thinking twice.
"Brother, Qingning, you are right, forget it, let's go look elsewhere."
Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu had given up his obsession with the land, both father and daughter heaved a sigh of relief.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Huang Zhiqiu borrowed the phone number from the front desk of the guest house and briefly explained the situation of the school land.
"Momo, that piece of land is too big and the rent is high. It's not cost-effective to rent it. Your uncle and I are going to look for other places."
From Yunmo's perspective and his estimation of land prices in the next few years, the rent for that piece of land is not high at all. Thinking about the housing prices in later generations, it is common to see prices doubling in one day.
A good piece of land, with a 50% rent increase in two years, is really not expensive, and it also comes with a hilltop of several hundred acres.
In Huang Jianjun's view, this barren mountain was a worthless burden and encumbrance, but Yun Mo thought it was a treasure.
With water and mountains, she can completely turn the barren mountains into bamboo forests. By then, the bamboo weaving factory will not even have to spend money on buying raw materials.
"Mom, you go talk to the township government tomorrow. As for the rent, I have two plans here. The rent will increase every three years, with a maximum increase of no more than 35%. The other plan is to increase every two years, with an increase of no more than 30%.
This is my base price. If they can accept it, you can directly sign the contract with them.
Mom, before you go tomorrow, withdraw all the 4,000 yuan from your bankbook. If the rent is negotiated, the 5,000 yuan will be used as a deposit and down payment.
The rent is paid once a year, and I will pay this year's rent within half a month of signing the contract. The township requires free construction of roads, and it can be completed within one year of signing the contract.
That's all for now, Mom, do you remember?"
Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect that Yun Mo was still determined to rent the land. He was about to persuade her, but Yun Mo on the other end of the phone didn't give her the credit offer.
"Mom, try to sign a longer land lease term. The longer the better, 30 years or 50 years is fine. No matter which party breaches the contract, it must compensate and bear corresponding economic losses. This clause must be included in the terms of the contract."
After saying that, Yun Mo still felt uneasy and said, "Mom, how about this? You can spend money to hire a lawyer tomorrow and let the lawyer help check it. Make sure there are no loopholes in the terms of the contract."
Huang Zhiqiu nodded subconsciously. After clicking, he realized that his daughter on the other end of the phone could not be seen, so he hurriedly said: "I remember... Hey, no, Momo, do you want to think about it again? The rent for this dollar is so expensive, and the land is so expensive."
It's so big, it's not cost-effective for us to rent it..."
"Mom, just go ahead and do it. I will take care of the money."
Huang Zhiqiu still felt unsure, "When I think about having to pay tens of thousands in rent every year, I get scared."
"Don't panic, Mom, don't you think that land is tailor-made for us? There are mountains and water. We don't have to go to the countryside to buy bamboo in the future. We can save a lot of shipping costs by growing a mountain of moso bamboo ourselves.
And material costs?
There are hundreds of acres of moso bamboo forest. We can’t use it all ourselves, but we can also sell some for takeout. Thinking about it like this, do you still think the rent is expensive?”
After being comforted by Yun Mohao, Huang Zhiqiu's anxious heart finally calmed down.
—
"Brother, Momo and I have already discussed and plan to rent the school land."
Huang Jianjun was originally lying on the bed to rest. When he heard this, he jumped out of bed like a fried fish.
"Zhiqiu, didn't you give up your mind this afternoon? Why did you change your mind again after calling Momo?"
Huang Qingning also didn't understand, "Sister-in-law, have you made it clear to your cousin? The rent will go up every two years, and we have to help build roads in the countryside. We may not make any money, and we have to repay it.
Woolen cloth."
Huang Zhiqiu told the father and daughter about Yunmo's idea of planting a bamboo forest.
"I think Momo's idea is very far-sighted. If such a big mountain is completely planted with moso bamboo, if nothing else, the bamboo can be sold for a lot of money every year."
Huang Jianjun was dubious, "I see that the mountain top is barren. Is it really possible to grow moso bamboo?"
"Brother, I'm not sure about the species, but moso bamboo is definitely fine."
