Chapter Forty-Eight: Buying Land and Building a Manor

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Wuyang received a call from the captain of the liquor company, saying that he had gotten off the highway to Lujiang. Wuyang immediately called Liu Bingqiu and asked him to arrange the unloading of the car, turned around and fell asleep again. It's not that he can't get up, it's that he doesn't want to get up, and he intends to test Liu Bingqiu. Of course, it is also true that I didn't get enough sleep.

When I woke up and got up, it was already more than 12 o'clock, Xiaohui Wu Fang didn't know when she left, so she hurriedly washed up and went home, and the lunch was put on the table. Mom said, "Why did you get up, I thought you were going to sleep all day." You woke up hungry, right? Eat quickly. ”

Mother felt sorry for Wuyang, Wuyang remembered that she didn't tell her about not sleeping for two nights, it should be said by Wu Fang in the morning. Although Wuyang has not been pampered since he was a child, his grandmother, parents and even uncles and aunts are all cold and hot, and they are very caring. Now listening to my mother's caring words, I am still a little moved in my heart.

"Mom, I'm fine, grandpa and Wu Fang." Wuyang asked.

"Wu Fang went to the company in the morning, saying that you told her about Li Tianye, and you wanted to coordinate, and by the way, she took her grandfather to see the unloading car, saying that she was going to pull a few boxes of wine back for her grandfather, this child is really filial." Mom said.

"Then I'll make a call and see if they will come back for dinner." took out his mobile phone and was about to call, when he saw that the Audi car for Wu Fang had returned. Wu Fang saw Wuyang coming out of the city and shouted, "Come and move the wine." ”

The driver opened the trunk, and Wuyang saw that it was 4 pieces of lowest-grade wine, so he asked, "Why don't you take a better wine?" ”

Wu Fang said: "Grandpa won't let me take it." He said that whether a wine is good or not depends on its most basic wine. If this wine is really good. that of other varieties. It's even better, if this wine doesn't work, then the other wines are not much better, so I took this wine. ”

Grandpa said: "This kind of wine is so expensive, and if you take it well, you will not be poor." ”

"Grandpa, you can drink it with confidence, that is, drink it for 100 years. You can't drink enough of me, even if you drink tens of thousands of bottles of foreign wine, I'm afraid it's difficult. Wuyang said with a smile.

asked Wu Fang about the unloading of the car, and Wu Fang said: "Li Tianye and Liu Bingqiu are in charge today, Xie Daxia didn't go if he had something to do, let's just go and take a few pieces of wine." But I wrote a note with the security guard arranged by Li Tianye, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take it away. It's very well organized over there, yesterday the forklift driver was not skilled, today 5 more cars were transferred. The arrangement was reasonable, by the time we got home. It's already unloaded. ”

Wuyang asked again: "That garage is almost full, right?" It is estimated that there will be so many drinks after New Year's Day. ”

Wu Fang said: "You didn't look at it carefully? The whole stadium is full of parking lots, I calculated, each floor has an area of 20,000 square meters, this is still in addition to the area of those pillars, if you put wine, and then leave a good aisle, about 18,000 square meters are there. The lower layer can hold 15,000 tons, and the upper layer can also be put in about half, and no more. This time it can be loaded, and if there are more, I'm afraid I'll have to find another place to store it. ”

"Okay, let's find a place as soon as possible."

Everyone washed and ate, Wuyang opened 3 bottles of wine, put two bottles next to his grandfather, poured wine for his mother, Wu Fang and himself, and poured it for the driver and Liu Bingqiu's wife, the two said they would not drink, and sent the cup back.

Liu Bingqiu's wife cooked for Wuyang's family in her hometown for a few months, and after moving, Wuyang still asked her to help her mother. Every day, as long as you cook lunch and dinner, buy some food or something, sometimes there are no customers, and you can get off work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If there is something at home, you can not come for a few days.

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Bingqiu still playing mahjong now?" Wuyang asked.

"Occasionally, he still makes up legs for people, and now he has no time to play mahjong, because he has to get up early in the morning and go to bed at 11 o'clock at night, which makes others very unhappy, so no one calls him."

"Are you buying a house or a villa in the city?" Wuyang asked again.

"Where do we have money now? Bingqiu and I have saved less than 50,000 yuan in our combined salaries, and the difference between buying a house is too much, so let's talk about it when we have money in the future. Sister-in-law said.

Wuyang had already thought in his heart that he would take him to gamble on stones before the Spring Festival, so that he could make a small fortune, at least buy a house or something, but this is still a matter for the future, and he didn't say much at the moment.

Wuyang's drinking level is not high, and after drinking 2 taels of wine, he feels that this wine is nothing more than that, and it can't catch up with the wine in Li Yaowen's house. So he asked his grandfather, "What do you think about this wine?" ”

Grandpa said: "Maybe this kind of wine can only be tasted slowly, not like me, I drink this wine and feel that it is similar to drinking grain wine, and it is not as good as the wine in Li Fatzi's house." Try another meal in the evening, if it doesn't work, don't drink it, the poor are used to drinking their own wine. By the way, Wuyang, I haven't told you yet, last time I gave Li Fatzi 5 million to build a small winery, and he will produce according to his process. Wine bottles have been customized, and there are 3 kinds of 1 catty, 2 catty and 5 catty. You have to prepare a wine cellar and store it first. This year's production will not be very much, about 150 tons, and the annual output will be more in the future, I think that in the future, the restaurants of our manor will use this kind of wine, and the store can also sell this wine for those who can drink and can drink. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, and you have to have these famous wines you buy back. ”

"Grandpa, your idea is so good. In the future, the beef, mutton, and wine of the manor will all come in from Uncle Li, all of which are pure natural and pollution-free food, which is also in line with the characteristics of our manor. Wuyang picked up his wine glass and toasted his grandfather.

After eating, I asked Wu Fang to call the accountant of the finance company and ask them to come and take away the bills this time. Yesterday, I heard Wang Xiaohui say that the accounts will be closed at the end of the year, and Wuyang thought of this problem, and the company's finances should be closed at the end of the year, and Wu Fang must be notified.

Wu Fang said: "The group company issued documents as early as December 15 and closed the accounts on the 31st, and the company's financial situation is now running normally. It's just that there are still too few financial staff. After the March of the new year, the graduate job fairs of various colleges and universities must recruit some people. ”

At present, the Group's financial company is divided into two parts. Part of it works in Li Qiuhua's company headquarters, and part of Wu Fang's management works in the elevator room community, where a building has been used as an office building, Xiong Gangqiang, Guo Zhiping, Li Tianye and their affiliated companies have all moved over, only Xie Jiliang's company is still in Villa 7, in fact, except for Xie Jiliang himself and a dozen or so goldsmith apprentices, there is no one else. At noon, the sun is planned, and the 4 houses built in my hometown are renovated. Move back to the workshop where you work with gold and jewelry. Now I don't know what happened to the villa architecture that Wu Fang designed for herself.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Wuyang said that he and Wu Fang would go to the city center to see the decoration of the building and the construction of the old villa and the office building of the old village committee. Wu Fang said that the third floor of the building has not been leased out, and Xie Daxia changed his plan to rent it out and use it to sell alcohol. Wuyang said that now he does not consider the sale of alcohol, and sells all gold and jewelry by himself if he can't rent it.

At this time, Wu Fang received a call from Xiong Gangqiang, saying that he and the chairman were now at the municipal government guest house, entertaining officials from the relevant departments of the city and Yihe City, and set off from the door of the guest house at two o'clock in the afternoon to inspect the land granted by the two cities. Wu Fang said okay. We will arrive on time.

Wu Fang told Wuyang about the situation: Last time his uncle Li Qiuhua sent the report to the municipal government, the standing committee of the municipal party committee quickly approved the land. Because the approved lot is close to Yihe City, there is a mud lake of more than 10,000 acres in the wet season at the junction of the two cities, and there are more than 3,000 acres of farmland around the lake. The municipal government sent a letter to the Yihe municipal government to negotiate the joint development and utilization of the mud lake, and it is estimated that the results have now been achieved.

After hearing the situation, Wuyang was very happy, and immediately beckoned his grandfather and Wu Fang to get in the car, and asked the driver to drive off, and it was only half past one o'clock when he arrived at the municipal government guest house. Calling General Manager Xiong, Xiong Gangqiang said, I have eaten, and there is nothing to do, so I came to the door. After a while, Xiong Gangqiang came out with a large bundle of paper in his hand.

After Xiong Gangqiang greeted a few people, he spread out the paper in his hand, and it turned out to be a map, one was from Lujiang and the other was from Yihe, which was a large-scale map of 1:5000. Xiong Gangqiang said: "These two maps can be docked completely, now there is just no glue, we studied military topography when we were in the military academy." We can only fold the map and look at it. ”

Xiong Gangqiang spread the map on the hood, pointed to a few people, and explained: This is the Lujiang River, this is the highway from Lujiang City to Yihe City, here is the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway station in the plan, the station is a 3,000-acre park planned by the municipal government, and the red line is the land granted to us.

Where the two maps meet is the Mud Lake, where two small rivers flow into the Mud Lake, and this is the land granted by the Yihe City until this small river. The entire area is 38 square kilometers, that is, 57,000 acres. Among them, the water surface, including the area of two small rivers is 10,800 acres, the land area of Lujiang City is 26,300 acres, and the land area of Yihe City is 19,900 acres.

On the opposite side of the highway, the two municipal governments each approved 500 acres of vegetable bases. Since it was not a topographic map, I had to wait for the scene to see.

Through Xiong Gangqiang's explanation, everyone basically understood a big sigh. Wuyang said: "This land is really good, and it will not be bordered by the villagers' land in the future." ”

Xiong Gangqiang continued: "Yes, there is a river on one side, a highway on the other, a park on the Lujiang River, and a small river on the Yi River. It is also based on this consideration that the Yihe Municipal Government has granted so much land. ”

Grandpa said, "Do you know what the approval document of Lu Dao is?" ”

"The approval of the two municipal governments is basically the same, but it is just a big frame, and the specific implementation rules will be issued after consultation in a few days. The approval stipulates the following provisions: first, the term is 200 years, after which the government will resume all the land, including the trees, buildings and facilities on the land, without compensation; Second, the area of the building cannot exceed 5% of the total area except the water surface, and the main buildings can only be next to the highway; Third, all trees cannot be cut down at will after cutting, and must be handled in accordance with the "Forest Law"; Fourth, the mud lake is a wetland, and its water surface cannot be reduced for the habitat of wild animals; Fifth, labor and employment must give priority to the demolition personnel, and the work must be equal pay for equal work, without discrimination; Sixth, it is necessary to assist the government in relocating demolition personnel. build a good housing project with quality and quantity; Seventh, without the consent of the municipal government. Dawn Group shall not transfer the ownership of the whole or part of it to any unit or individual. ”

"Is there a price to buy?" This is the issue that Wuyang is most concerned about. Now he doesn't have much money in his pocket, and Boss Lin is still waiting to do business.

"The government was not prepared to collect the land premium, but after the chairman insisted, the government decided to collect the money as the cost of demolition, and the government would bear the other costs. In the end, it was agreed that 10,000 yuan per mu for mountainous land, 15,000 yuan for dry land, 30,000 yuan for fish ponds and paddy fields, and no money was charged for mud lakes and small river basins. In total, there are about 600 million and less than 700 million. The time to pay the money is that after the two parties sign an agreement after negotiating the implementation rules, they will pay 100 million yuan to each of the two municipal governments, and the rest will be paid 50 million yuan per month until the payment is completed, without interest. Xiong Gangqiang said.

"Grandpa Zhang, let's go." Li Qiuhua shouted. It turned out that a large group of them had all come out and were getting into the car, and a few people were talking too seriously and didn't pay attention at all.

So I got in the car too. The car set off. Wuyang saw that the leader seemed to be Secretary He, but he didn't find it just now. didn't say hello, saw his car passing by, smiled, shook his hand, and said hello.

More than a dozen cars were running along Jianghe Avenue, and on the bus, Wu Fang asked: "Wuyang, why does my uncle insist on paying for it?" Isn't it saved hundreds of millions of dollars if you don't pay money? ”

Wuyang thought about it for a while and said: "This is for several reasons, first of all, we buy land and plant trees, which is a kind of folk behavior in itself, so it is natural that we should pay money to do things; Secondly, this matter is outside the municipal government budget, and the government finance now has to spend hundreds of millions more to demolish and resettle residents, which may not be an easy thing; There is also the variability of our governing policy, often the change of secretary and mayor, many policies change, so you see that the roads in our city are often dug and dug and repaired, and the same is true of the green belt, this mayor plants grass, changes the mayor and plants trees, and then changes the mayor and digs trees and flowers, and everything is tossed back and forth like this.

Now that we have bought the land, and it is bought as commercial land, then no matter how the ruling policy changes in the future, it will be difficult to affect the continuity of the development of our estate, even if the secretary and mayor want to move us, he will also have to consider the financial resources of the government and whether it will win the support of the people. ”

Wu Fang said: "It would be better if the government did this kind of thing. ”

Wuyang said: "In the future, let's see if I have a chance to do this." ”

Twenty minutes later, the car in front stopped, and all the vehicles followed. They did not approach the leaders, but watched from afar. The three of them have kung fu, and they are more deaf and clear-sighted than ordinary people, and they are not afraid of not being able to hear.

Wuyang heard his uncle Li Qiuhua and Secretary He and a group of people pointing out, saying that this is the stopping point of the park, that is, the starting point of your manor. Wuyang saw that there are all the kind of weathered rocks here, the top of the mountain is bare, only at the foot of the mountain near the valley, there are scattered dwarf shrubs, the valley is bushes, near the bottom of the valley there are some dry land, no wonder in this place close to the city, more than 20,000 acres of land only have more than 2,000 residents, how to feed people in such a place?

The car started and continued to move forward, but outside the window there were still barren hills, but gradually there were ponds, rice fields, and houses, and after a few minutes of slow walking, I saw a large lake, the water of which had shrunk to the middle, and the surrounding area was full of silt, and the silt was overgrown with decaying weeds. The vehicle stopped again, people got out of the car again, the side of the highway can see two small rivers that are far apart leading to the lake, the flow is very small, the place where the mud lake and the Lujiang River are connected, is a mouth of 2, 300 meters wide, because it is the dry season in winter and is too far, you can hardly see the flowing water, only see a lot of small boats parked. On both sides of the lake are harvested rice fields, and the rice fields are high on the side of the mountain are the houses, and the population here is still relatively dense, and the small buildings are connected one after another, which is an idyllic scenery.

A large group of people crossed the road to the opposite side to see the vegetable base marked on the map for the Dawn Group. This is in the middle of two small rivers, the land is relatively flat, probably many years ago, and the muddy lake is connected together, including those rice fields, all of which are formed by the alluvial siltation of small rivers and rivers, because of many years of cultivation, it is already very good land. There are two culverts on either side of the road, and two small rivers flow into the lake through the culverts. Wuyang estimated that as long as the river rose with water, the vegetable fields here would definitely be submerged. Later, when I bought it, I had to repair the sluice gate on the culvert side.

Towards the direction of the Yi River again, what you see in front of you is the small mountain bag of weathered rock, which is also bare, until you reach a small river, there are rice fields, ponds, and dwellings again, the car stops, the leaders get out of the car and shake hands, the drivers are reversing and turning around, here is the red line of the Yi River. After talking for a while, the leader of Yihe left, and the leader of Lujiang also got in the car and left.

Back at the lake, Wuyang asked the driver to drive to the river to have a look. Along the potholed gravel road to the river, there is no road, only the sheep intestine trail, I wanted to see the intersection of the lake and the river, but now I had to turn back.

"Wuyang, let me ask you, looking at the terrain, how much money do you think we need to invest to achieve our goal?" Grandpa asked.

Wuyang said: "If we follow our goal, plus the money to buy land, at least more than 2 billion, if the house on the side of the highway is built very well, it depends on the scale of housing construction, it should not be less than 3 billion." ”

"Tell me about your thoughts." Grandpa said again.

"I think that if you want to plant trees, you have to treat the lake first, and then you can plant trees by scooping up the silt from the lake and spreading it on the mountain, otherwise it is completely impossible to plant trees on such a barren weathered rock." Wuyang replied.

"It's a good idea, and if we follow it, we're going to be successful. I think that within 3 years, our investment may reach about 5 billion, and if we use this 5 billion well, we will get a return of about 10 billion within 20 years. If we don't do it well, then we will lose all our money and leave a big joke. Let's go back and plan slowly, Xiaofang is going to invite Professor Xu to come and get a complete plan and renderings for us. ”

After listening to Grandpa's words, Wuyang and Wu Fang were silent. This is not a question of whether to make money or not, but a heavy responsibility, which is not only the long-cherished wish of grandpa's life, but also the trust of the municipal party committee and government, and the expectation of those people of insight, but it must not be disappointed.

On the way, Wu Fang received a call from Xiong Gangqiang, saying that the chairman asked them to sum up, to see what projects are to be approved by the government during the construction of the manor, and they must be put forward when negotiating the implementation rules.

After Wu Fang told the two, the grandfather said, "We won't talk about it now, think for ourselves, and discuss it after dinner." Didn't Wuyang say that he wanted to go to the old village committee to have a look, and we would go right away. (To be continued......)
