009 Xanadu
On one side is a dense rock wall, on the other side is a deep cliff, and in the middle is a dirt road only more than four meters wide. One end of the dirt road connects to the national highway, and the other side connects to a small village called Haiwozi. And this
The small village is the seventeenth village that Zhang Jin has inspected in the past few days after making up his mind to go to the countryside.
Zhang Jin was currently sitting in the Land Rover he borrowed from Xiao Fei, swaying like a drunkard on this dirt road. However, Zhang Jin's swaying was not because he drank too much, but because of the weight under his feet.
The dilapidated road is really bad. It is winding and winding, not to mention uphill and downhill. The loess road on this road is as uneven as a man's head. Fortunately, the Land Rover is considered to be a type with strong off-road capabilities.
For a city car, if the guy under Zhang Jin's butt was a business car with a slightly lower chassis, it might have been stuck in some ditch or hook, and it would have been impossible to move forward or retreat.
I have to lament here the usefulness of family background. Although Xiao Fei, who works in the emergency room, is not as rich and well-paid as Zhang Jin, who works in the pharmacy department, he can't stand it because his father is rich. So Xiao Fei, who has a low income
He drives a Land Rover worth RMB 700,000 to RMB 800,000, but Zhang Jin, who earns a lot of money, can only drive a Wrangler worth over RMB 200,000.
This section of the paved mountain road is difficult to walk, but it is not long. It is only a dozen kilometers, but it took Zhang Jin a full hour for these ten kilometers. During this hour, Zhang Jin endured
Feeling the sore buttocks caused by the bumps, I never stopped questioning my previous hot-headed decision: "Do you think I am sick? Why am I so obsessed with drilling into the nooks and crannies of this mountain?
?This damn road is really not meant for people to walk on."
However, Zhang Jin's complaints came to an abrupt end after he drove around another corner. He first stepped on the brakes hard and stopped the car. Then he climbed out of the car with some joy and looked at the scenery in the distance.
He muttered in his mouth: "It's worth it, it's really worth it! It's like a paradise."
A beautiful natural landscape painting is displayed in front of Zhang Jin's eyes. Zhang Jin's position at this time is on the half slope of a low mountain. Although the position is not high, due to the relative height difference, his vision is still broad.
. Near the foot of the mountain is a vast green area, which is a vegetable patch and a field. The green in May is lush and green, showing extremely vitality. Because it is almost noon, dozens of people gather in a corner of the green space.
Houses with blue bricks and red tiles invariably emit smoke from cooking, bringing vitality to this rural scene while also exuding a leisurely temperament.
Further away, there is a brilliant golden yellow that seems to be just a line. Even further away, there is an endless blue, deep blue and deep blue. The golden one is the beach, and the blue one is the sea!
In this green and blue, the place where the smoke rises is the destination that Zhang Jin has been going to after spending an hour on the mountain road - Haiwozi Village.
The vibrant green of the crops is connected with the lush trees on the mountains surrounding the three directions. Coupled with the rippling blue, how can this scenery of mountains, fields, sea, sky, blue and green intertwined be just one
Can the word 'beautiful' be used to describe it? Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhang Jin was shocked by the exquisiteness in front of him and could hardly help himself. After all, Zhang Jin had lived in the city for nearly thirty years from childhood to adulthood, although he had also been to, for example,
Jiuzhaigou, Zhangjiajie and other well-known scenic spots, but how can those places with more people than trees compare to the fresh nature and tranquility of life in front of them?
After appreciating the bird's-eye view, Zhang Jin couldn't wait to get in the car again and drive towards Haiwozi Village.
******************
Half an hour later, in the same bungalow with red tiles and blue bricks that served as the village branch.
"Young man, are you kidding me? You want to contract land in our village?" Hai Jufu, the village party secretary of Haiwozi Village, looked at Zhang Jin sitting in front of him in surprise.
Although Haiwozi Village is beautiful, it is actually a poor village relatively speaking! There is only one reason why the village is poor - inconvenient transportation.
On the waterway, it takes an hour to get to the nearest town by boat, and because the seabed is flat, only small boats with shallow drafts can dock. On the landside, the only way the entire village is connected to the outside world is through the rugged mountain road where Zhang Jin came.
Connected. It is because of the traffic congestion that in the past ten years, governments at all levels across the country have been desperately "attracting investment" regardless of conditions, and factories of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. This Haiwozi Village
But until now, no one cares about it. Even after several merchant inspections, Haiwozi Village has lost the courage to recruit merchants. With such traffic conditions, who will come? Even if the factory is built, how will the production be carried out?
How to transport the required raw materials in? How to transport the produced products out?
So it's no wonder that Hai Jufu, the old branch secretary, thought he had misheard Zhang Jin's contracting plan, but he couldn't wait to ask again with great expectation.
When Zhang Jin confirmed that what the old party secretary heard was correct, Hai Jufu became a little excited and quickly asked: "No problem, no problem." After the old party secretary agreed without any hesitation at first, he then cautiously asked: "
I don’t know what kind of factory you want to set up, boss? Do you think you can recruit people from our village to work in your factory? Tell me how many people you want, so I can go say hello.
You can rest assured that they are all young and strong people who can endure hardships and work hard. Let me tell you, the young people in our village these days have all gone out to work for others. Although most of them have gone to Shenzhen, Huishi and
Wanshi is not far from my home, but who doesn’t love home and who is willing to leave their home!”
The enthusiasm of the old party secretary made Zhang Jin a little overwhelmed, so he quickly cut off his eloquent words and said: "Uncle Hai, I didn't come here to contract the land to set up a factory! I just like the scenery of your village and want to
Rent a few acres of land and take care of it yourself. Look..."
Although the hope of revitalizing the industry in his village was shattered, the old party secretary still agreed to Zhang Jin's request. Anyway, most of the strong laborers in the village have left home to work, except for a few who stayed at home.
Apart from the young and strong who are considered to be worthless and chewing on the ground, they are all old, weak, women and children. The land cultivated is getting less and less every year, and there is a lot of idle land. Besides, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, Zhang Jin
Isn't the contracting fee just a bit of income for Haiwozi Village, which has never had any income?
"Come on, let's go, I'll take you to look around. When the time comes, tell me which piece of land you like. As long as it's uncultivated land, you can pick it. The price is easy to negotiate." He said that he was over fifty.
The old party secretary couldn't wait to stand up, and pulled Zhang Jin out of the office. Although this old party secretary was not young, he still had the energy of a young man.
Looking at the impatient old party secretary, Zhang Jin shook his head with a smile and followed out without refusing. But he thought in his heart: This old party secretary really doesn't know negotiation skills, how can he be so impatient? Couldn't he be so impatient?
Do you understand that only by showing an attitude of 'daughters don't have to worry about getting married' can you catch a golden turtle husband?
In this way, the old party secretary walked in front, pointing to the idle land on both sides of the road and introducing. How fertile is the land and what crops are best to grow? How close is the land to the water source and how can it be irrigated?
What a convenience;…
On the surface, Zhang Jin was nodding in agreement from behind, but in fact, he was constantly using his abilities as a master trainer and master gardener to find the most suitable place for him to display his skills.
Finally, when the old party secretary led Zhang Jin to the end of one side of the village, Zhang Jin's eyes finally lit up. He pointed to an irregular wasteland of about six or seven acres and said tentatively: "Uncle Hai, look at this.
Can you give me a piece of land?" As he spoke, Zhang Jin gestured with his hand to indicate the area he wanted.
After the old party secretary glanced at Zhang Jin in surprise, the expression on his face seemed to be struggling. Finally, after the old party secretary hesitated for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhang Jin: "Xiao Zhang.
, this piece of land is indeed a wasteland that no one wants, and it is supposed to be given to you. But I don’t want to trick you, so let me tell you the truth. This land is more than two acres close to the village.
The area we selected is pretty good fertile land, but after removing more than two acres of land, the remaining half of the land is not even considered thin land, but is made up of rocky patches. You can’t survive on anything you plant!
You see, in that area, except for a few old trees with crooked necks, there are not even many weeds."
The old party secretary's sincere words gave Zhang Jin a deeper understanding of the old man's true nature, so he simply opened up and said: "Uncle Hai, I'll be honest with you, I don't want to make a fortune if I want to contract land.
I just got tired of living in the city and wanted to change my life for a few years. I have a plan for these acres of land. I want to grow some vegetables and fruit trees for my own consumption on these two acres of fertile land. The rest of the stone land is
I want to dig a two-acre fish pond and raise some fish. I will build a house on the remaining land to live in, and also create a big yard to raise some chickens and ducks. You can contract this land to me.
, okay?”
Zhang Jin’s excuses may be true or false, but they are also rounded off. At least Secretary Hai firmly believes in Zhang Jin’s words. Although the old Party Secretary himself is not a rich man, watching TV seems to be a special hobby of rich people.
If it's too much, what's the point of living in the countryside for a while? In his eyes, Zhang Jin, who drives a beautiful big jeep, is already considered a rich man.
So Hai Jufu happily nodded and agreed, patting his chest and ensuring that there was no problem. That piece of stone land was not the village's homestead, nor was it farmland, but just a piece of wasteland. The wasteland was used to open up homestead and fish pond land.
It’s easy to get a usage certificate! After all, not only does this not harm the interests of any family, it also creates income for the village. Presumably the villagers will be happy to see it happen without any objections.
In this way, Zhang Jin's land contract was settled. When Hai Jufu took the stack of red notes from Zhang Jin's hand and solemnly stamped the village committee's seal on the contract, the whole area
Chapter completed!
