Chapter 214 Contracting
Chen Rongliang did not agree immediately, but said that he would go home and discuss with his family.
Because he originally planned to use the fish pond as property and leave it to his two sons, but now Chen Zhengqian clearly wants to buy it, and he only buys it but does not rent it, and is not short of money. Chen Rongliang is still very tempted.
In fact, he had already agreed in his heart, but he just wanted to go back and discuss with his family what price was more appropriate.
Chen Zhengqian let him go.
In fact, Chen Zhengqian had already had the idea of a pastoral ecological resort, but he had just had a vague concept before.
This time I returned to my hometown for vacation. When I saw my mother being idle at home, I felt that I should find something for her to do so that she would not be too bored. So I thought of the contracted land.
Contracting land in rural areas is not new. Since 2004, some people in the village who do not want to continue farming have contracted their own fields one after another and rented them to others to plant various cash crops on a large scale. The annual rent ranges from 200 to 300 acres.
As for the forests, it is even cheaper. They plant eucalyptus or fruit trees. In the past two years, it was popular to plant wealth trees. Chen Zhengqian didn’t know how much it earned, but the rent was really cheap. A large mountain cost dozens of yuan per acre, and only tens of thousands of yuan a year.
The former village chief looked so ugly. He contracted the hillside in the village to his son for 8,000 yuan a year. He was sued to the city and then lost his official hat. He used to be very majestic.
Compared with the difference between big cities and rural areas, Chen Zhengqian found that he still likes rural areas a little more.
The air here is fresh and there are familiar family members, which is more suitable for leisure life, while the big cities are suitable for hard work and for young people with dreams to sweat.
When I have money, I contracted a large area of land in the countryside, built houses, planted fruit trees, planted vegetables, raised fish, etc., and became a modern leisurely little landlord. It seems pretty good.
In Chen Zhengqian's idea, after buying both ponds, they were directly opened and connected into one piece to form an artificial lake dozens of acres. Then, the king lotus was planted in the pond to form a unique "lotus leaf bridge".
Wang Lian is the largest aquatic plant in the world with the largest diameter of the leaves. The maximum diameter of the leaves can reach more than three meters, the surface is smooth, and the edges are rolled up, like huge emerald green plates. The rhizomes underwater are like umbrella frames, so huge lotus leaves can support 60 or 70 kilograms of items without sinking. Even if people stand on it, they can still be stable.
You can sit on lotus leaves and fish or blow the cool breeze. What kind of experience is this?
You can also build a few small wooden houses by the pond. The decoration inside does not need to be too luxurious, but it must be distinctive. Friends come to visit and have a place to stay. When the business is officially opened, tourists will be charged for check-in.
People in the city are so strange nowadays that they don’t eat wild vegetables if they have meat, and they don’t live in the wild if they have houses. This kind of rural pastoral style cabin should be very popular when living near the water.
When the pond is facing the hillside, you can set up a flower bed. At that time, transplant the roses and add various other flowers to make a special themed flower bed, which will not wither all year round. Or simply, just create a rose themed garden.
Of course, these are just in the conception. Whether they can be implemented depends on whether the villagers agree to the land they contracted. There are also village chief Chen Rongliang and another villager Chen Jinliang, who are willing to sell the pond to themselves, otherwise the above will be empty talk.
Even if the contract is completed, you have to plan carefully, then enter the construction stage and finally complete it before you can experience these beautiful things that Chen Zhengqian imagines.
After Chen Zhengqian planned to invite some rich people to experience it first, and then ask them to come back and help them promote it well, so that they will not worry about the source of customers.
"Donate 5,000 yuan if you say donation. Do you think you are a bank cash machine?" Li Xiaomei was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhengqian's behavior. According to her, it would be great to donate a few hundred yuan more. Her family doesn't owe them anything, and her ancestors are not their own.
In Chen Zhengqian's opinion, 5,000 yuan is a suitable price, 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, and 5,000 or 6,000 yuan is not too much. It seemed that when the land temple was built, some villagers donated 10,000 yuan, right?
In this case, the 5,000 yuan I am not too much. If the 5,000 yuan I can buy the villagers’ envy of their family and parents, then Chen Zhengqian thinks that the money is worth spending.
Li Xiaomei couldn't help asking again: "You really have to contract the land in the village?"
Chen Zhengqian nodded: "Of course, I'm not kidding."
Li Xiaomei became anxious: "How much does it cost to contract such a large piece of land?"
"Not much, probably only about 100,000 or 200,000."
Chen Zhengqian thought for a while and said, "I have observed that this land is only 500 acres at most, or even less than 500 acres. According to the rent of one acre, two or three hundred yuan, it is not much more expensive."
Chen Zhengqian thought it was quite cost-effective. The key is that my mother will be busy in the future. She can also invite some relatives to come and help everyone improve their living conditions. After all, it is better to teach people how to fish than to fish.
"Isn't it expensive for ten or twenty hundred thousand?" Li Xiaomei was shocked. She couldn't save 20,000 yuan a year before, and her son would have to contract a piece of land for more than ten thousand yuan. This...
Chen Zhengqian said helplessly: "Now I buy a house of 100 square meters in the city, which is more than 500,000 yuan. Besides, I rent it and don't do anything. At that time, I invest more than one million yuan to make a small tourist resort to attract some tourists from the city to come and play. The income will definitely be low and I will be able to make a profit soon. Then I will leave it to my mother to manage it."
Li Xiaomei waved her hand quickly: "How can I manage it? I haven't learned these things, what can't work, what can't work!"
Chen Zhengqian comforted her: "Don't worry, I will arrange manpower for you at that time, and I will also recruit some villagers from the village to help me take care of them. You can also ask my second aunt and others to help you, and they will be paid. You just need to help you to conquer those villagers."
He is happy to help others improve their lives, but it does not mean that he is the Virgin Mary who is a kind-hearted person.
As it was dark, the village held another villagers' meeting. Chen Guowei had not returned home yet, Chen Zhengqian did not want to attend, and Li Xiaomei did not go either.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, the village chief Chen Rongliang said, "I asked everyone to come for a meeting tonight. I mainly wanted to talk about two things. One was to raise money to repair the ancestral hall in the village. It has been almost done. I went to ask a few families today, and they also expressed their willingness to make a little more. Well, Chen Guowei is not at home and his son is there, so he agreed for his father, but he said he wants to contract some land in the village."
"This is the second thing I want to say. The contracted land must be approved by two-thirds of the villagers' representatives before it can be reported to the town government. Do you want to agree?"
Chen Rongliang took out the village committee map and marked the scope of the land that Chen Zhengqian wanted to contract.
The villagers suddenly saw that the land that Chen Zhengqian wanted to contract, including the fish pond of the village chief's family.
So someone asked: "Village Chief, did you agree to transfer the fish pond?"
Chen Rongliang was very calm: "It is not impossible to sell it. As long as the price is right, there is nothing wrong with it."
He had already negotiated the price with his family. If the fish in the pond were sold together, it would cost 50,000 yuan, and if the fish was not included, it would cost 30,000 yuan. Chen Rongliang felt that his price was quite appropriate. If Chen Zhengqian wanted to bargain, he could accept it. As long as it was not too much, otherwise he would rather keep it.
As for the donation of 5,000 yuan, haha, can the public compare to their own?
But he couldn't say this. He looked at another fish pond owner, Chen Jinliang, and asked, "What do you say, Jinliang?"
Chen Jinliang said in a deep voice: "I want to leave the fish pond for my son."
Chen Rongliang frowned and said, "Didn't your son settle down in Hecheng? I think you might as well sell the fish pond and give the money to your son to pay the mortgage."
Others also echoed: "That's right, Chen Guowei's son is so rich, you will definitely not be missing."
"Don't you think your son would be willing to come back to farm in the countryside, do you?"
"Your son is now five or six thousand yuan a month, and he lives well in Hecheng. How can you worry about it?"
Seeing everyone saying this, Chen Jinliang was also shaken: "I'll go back and discuss with my house."
"Don't you all make the decisions at home? How can you negotiate such things? According to me, getting money is the most realistic. Anyway, the fish pond can't make much money a year." Chen Rongliang also raises fish himself, so he naturally knows the market.
Chen Jinliang was also moved by him, saying that as long as the price was not too low.
Chen Rongliang looked at the others. The villagers who had the land within Chen Zhengqian's contracting scope said that as long as the price was right, there would be no problem. Anyway, it would be a waste to keep it. No one farmed now, let alone this kind of slope land that has poor harvest. It is naturally a good thing to contract it out.
In this way, Chen Rongliang knew that the problem was not big, and other villagers' representatives had no objection.
In this way, the opinions were approved.
Chen Rongliang went to find Chen Zhengqian that night! (To be continued.)
