Chapter 273: When the land lease is in progress
Meiqing County is a small county town under Qinghe City. Located in the eastern part of Haixi Province, the www.biquge.info is a typical terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side, it is about 50 kilometers away from Qinghe City, and it takes about an hour to reach the county seat of Meiqing County from the urban area.
For a long time, Meiqing has been a key forestry county and miscellaneous fruit base in Haixi Province, rich in olives and citrus.
However, Meiqing County's economy is not very developed. In particular, the coastal areas near the sea are difficult to live in due to the lack of arable land due to inconvenient transportation and the lack of arable land.
The previous leadership group was ambitious and invested heavily in the construction of the Meiqing Coastal Development Zone, which originally planned to develop the port economy and promote the economic development of the coastal areas of Meiqing County.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Reclamation of land from the sea not only did not bring about a leap forward in the economy of Meiqing County, but on the contrary, fishermen in several coastal towns and villages, who were already poor, lost the tidal flats and coasts on which they depended for their survival, and their lives became even more difficult.
Lin Zeng directly booked a bullet train ticket, and took a high-speed bullet train to Meiqing County, which was about forty minutes faster than the ordinary highway.
After getting out of the car, he booked a special car and went directly to the office of Meiqing County High-tech Development Zone.
When he found a two-story cement house after spending a long time, he looked at the villagers who didn't know what they were doing outside the unfinished cement house.
He called Zhou Ming, the director of the development zone, and two minutes later, a man in his thirties with rimless glasses rushed out of the cement room, looking quite gentle.
With a smile on his face, he explained something to the villagers who gathered around, and while waving his hands constantly, he quickly evacuated the concrete house.
Those people didn't seem to be making trouble, and when they saw Zhou Ming leaving, they were all helpless, shook their heads and dispersed.
Zhou Ming sat in the special car hired by Lin Zeng, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to Lin Zeng with some embarrassment: "Manager Lin, I'm really sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
"It's fine. Lin Zeng shook his head and said, "But these people are?"
Zhou Ming hurriedly explained, and from his explanation, Lin Zeng learned that these villagers who were gathered next to the office of the development zone actually came to him to ask for compensation for land acquisition. When the land in the development zone was first expropriated, part of it was the responsibility of the villagers of Damin Village. Before the compensation for land requisition was paid, the county began to fill in this part of the farmland in Damin Village.
Later, the plan of the high-tech development zone was lost, and even the compensation for the villagers with this part could not be paid for a long time.
"It's fine. Lin Zeng could only say this. "Director Zhou, I don't know where the land that can be rented is?"
Speaking of business, Zhou Ming got serious and guided the driver to drive for more than 20 minutes and came to a yellow earth with barren grass.
Along the country road, where only two cars could be paralleled, Lin Zeng looked at the desolate land that seemed to have no end in sight, and was a little surprised by the breadth of the land in this development zone.
After preparing to rent land to plant carpet grass, Lin Zeng studied the farmland on the outskirts of Qinghe City and found that it was difficult to find such a flat and wide land in the mountainous Qinghe City.
And in M County, which is about a two-hour drive from Qinghe City, there is such a large desolate land.
When Zhou Ming learned of Lin Zeng's question, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "That's true, because most of this land was originally a tidal flat, and it was formed after the sea was reclaimed to create land. ”
"Then why is it abandoned here, it's a pity?" From the beginning of Zhou Ming's guidance to his development zone, he drove all the way for more than ten minutes, and the scene still remained unchanged, and it was still the kind of environment similar to that of a loess wasteland.
"Who will come? The soil here cannot be planted at all, and fruit trees, vegetables, tea, and plants that can be economically beneficial cannot grow here. It is more than an hour away from the county seat of Meiqing County, and there are no investors to take a fancy to it. In fact, Zhou Ming is also very strange in his heart, it is said that this manager Lin wants to rent land and plant lawns, why does he want to go to such an inappropriate place to rent land, although the rent is really cheap, but he is not afraid of making a loss-making transaction?
Lin Zeng watched for a while, asked the driver to stop the car, and got out of the car and walked into the land where even the wild grass grew sparsely.
He stepped on the ground, as Zhou Ming said, after being crushed and exposed, the ground was as hard as cement. It is not suitable for growing any crop. The yellow mud land can provide too few nutrients to the plants, and it is easy to harden and harden, and if it is put into planting, it can only make people lose their pants.
Of course, "any plant" here does not include Lin Zeng's carpet grass.
When Lin Zeng saw the scene, he no longer hesitated and directly talked about the contract with Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming was ready for Lin Zeng to give up and leave, but he didn't expect that he really planned to rent land?
There are 10,000 acres of land in this development zone, and the rent per mu is only 700 yuan. Lin Zeng originally only wanted to rent one or two hundred acres of land and plant tens of thousands of square meters of carpet grass, thinking that it would be enough to deal with customers who planted carpet grass.
I didn't want Zhou Ming to come up with another plan.
The more land Lin Zeng rented, the longer the lease period, and the lower the rent per mu of land.
100 acres of land, rented for one year, 700 yuan per mu. If the rent is paid for ten years at a time, the rent per mu of land can be reduced to 600 yuan per mu.
For every 100 acres of additional acres, the rent can be reduced by 20 yuan.
Lin Zeng took out his mobile phone to calculate and found that if it was rented for ten years according to 500 acres of land, it would be calculated.
As long as he pays a total of 500,000 yuan, he can get the right to use 500 acres of land for ten years.
Sounds like a great deal.
If it's a thousand acres of land, even less than a million is enough.
Lin had thought about it again and again, thinking about the high profits that carpet grass could bring in a blink of an eye, as well as the Yuanqi grass that would be launched in the future, and whether there was a thorough research of warm grass, so he decided to rent 500 acres of land first.
This wasted land, which seemed useless to others, was very suitable for Lin Zeng.
There are not many people here, and the transportation is inconvenient. But for Lin Zeng, this environment is more suitable for carpet grass growth. And the traffic problem is just that when transporting, it costs more fuel money, and it is just a cow's hair.
After Lin Zeng decided, he began to bargain with Zhou Ming.
Actually, Lin Zeng didn't have anything to bargain with.
The price given by Zhou Ming is already the bottom line given by the Meiqing County Government. This kind of price, in Qinghe City, is basically the land rent ten years ago.
After confirming Lin Zeng's intention to lease land, the next step is nothing more than the procedural signing of the contract.
Zhou Ming even told Lin Zeng that he didn't need to wait for the process to be completed, and if he needed to, he could start leveling the land and planting lawns at any time.
In fact, according to the meaning of the Meiqing county government, they hope to use these lands to attract investment and attract processing factories that can prosper the economy. But the location of the land is so poor that even polluting industries, given the time and cost of logistics, have no interest in this place.
Except for Lin Zeng's special situation, with the current level of economic development in M County, no one will look at it for at least ten years.
Lin once planted lawns on the land, although it could not bring much development and prosperity to the area, but it could at least increase some income for the finances, and at the same time solve the problem of idle labor in a small number of surrounding villages and towns.
It's better than nothing.
After Lin Zeng negotiated with Zhou Ming, there was one more thing that troubled him to help.
Since the development zone said that he could start work directly, he did not have to be polite and immediately began to plant carpet grass. Orders for carpet grass are increasing every day, and planting a day earlier, of course, the more cost-effective it is for him. (To be continued.) )
