Since the village party secretary has no opinion, the purpose of Lai Xiaohu's visit this time has been achieved. Next, the two of them were together just to chat about some family things, and then the other party asked Lai Xiaohu about some outside things by the way.

After chatting for more than an hour, Lai Xiaohu stood up and left the village party secretary's house, and after going back, Zhang Ying was watching TV with Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying. Seeing that Lai Xiaohu was back, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying stood up and went back to sleep, leaving only Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying still in the living room.

Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying actually don't have much interest in TV, they used to sit together at home with Song Yaqiao and like to watch TV, but they just use watching TV as an excuse, and then the three of them sit together to talk and play, of course, there are inevitably some unsightly pictures. But now at home, Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying don't dare to move, they have no interest in playing at will, and the two of them directly ignore the TV.

After a while, Lai Xiaohu, who turned off the TV, took Zhang Ying back to the house where the two were behind. After the New Year, Lai Xiaohu and the others left, and the house in the back was almost unoccupied, but despite this, the whole house still looked very tidy. Obviously, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying usually have nothing to do and come to clean the room.

At night, Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying slept well on the familiar bed. The next morning, I got up early in the morning and went to the front yard for breakfast, and then Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying went out separately. Zhang Ying is going to the airport to take the people who stay there to build an air transportation system belonging to the Lejia supermarket. Lai Xiaohu was going to the town to discuss the lease of land with the leaders of the town.

The town center of Xin Town and Lai Xiaohu's village are actually mixed together to a certain extent. A wide road divided Lai Xiaohu's village in two, and then relied on this road to slowly develop the still prosperous town center of Xin Town. Of course, this kind of prosperity is relative to the ordinary villages below, and there is still no comparison with the city. However, in the administrative area of Xinzhen, it is the first choice for most people to come out and play.

The town government is not too far from Lai Xiaohu's house, and after eating, Lai Xiaohu walked along the middle road for only a few minutes before walking in front of the town government.

At this time, it was already work time, and there were a few cars parked at the door, as well as a lot of bicycles or electric cars. Some of them are from the staff who work inside. And some of them are from people who come to do business.

He is very familiar with Lai Xiaohu in the town government, because when he was a child, he often followed his friends to play here, although he couldn't enter the house inside, but the whole courtyard was unrestricted, and there was a basketball court or something.

found the mayor's office, Lai Xiaohu knocked twice and pushed the door in, and after entering, he saw Wu Ou, who had come to find him during the Chinese New Year.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Mayor Wu." Seeing Wu Ou, Lai Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Lai Xiaohu, are you back?" Wu Ou didn't expect it to be Lai Xiaohu who came in, and he stood up excitedly. As the mayor of Xinzhen. Wu Ou has not felt good in the past two years. Because in the past two years, he felt what Xin Zhen was like before and what it is now. Although it is a bit too much to describe it as walking in place, in fact, Xin Zhen has indeed been in this state in recent years.

Most people in Xin Town actually feel normal about this, because this is how they used to come here. And everyone knows their own background. There is nothing worth investing in, and naturally it does not attract businessmen to come and invest. And it is indeed difficult to get rich without investment.

But this is different for Wu Ou. Ordinary people can think that this is normal, but Wu Ou, who needs to be mainly and directly responsible for the development here, feels very abnormal. Does this obviously show that he is incompetent, whether he is like this or not, so what else do you want him to do as the mayor of the town.

Why did Wu Ou go to Lai Xiaohu during the Chinese New Year, he was also forced by the current situation he faced. He is desperate to change the status quo in Xinzhen. This will not only make your hometown richer, but also allow you to achieve your ambitions, so why not.

But the reality is cruel, since coming to power, Wu Ou has brought in a few investments. However, they are all small factories, the largest investment is only a few million, and the largest factory employs dozens of people. And one of these investments ended up being shut down because of pollution.

Xin Zhen is not easy, and Wu Ou is not easy. Because it's so ordinary, there's nothing attractive about it at all. I'm not afraid of the best, I'm not afraid of the worst, I'm afraid of the ordinary. It's so common that it doesn't even get attention.

It can be said unceremoniously that if Xinzhen is not within the jurisdiction of Shangdu, the capital of Henan Province, and it is not too far from the airport, it is estimated that it will be even worse than it is now. Although it is not very developed, it is still passable here relying on the overall economic development of the entire commercial city, and it is much better than the poor rural areas in other places. But if Xin Zhen is placed in a poor area, maybe it will really become a place where there is no food.

With the overall development of the surrounding area, Xinzhen has today's face, these are not the result of Xinzhen's own efforts, it can be regarded as a kind of disguised enjoyment of the fruits of other people's development. But that's the end of it, and it's going to be very difficult to develop.

The things here are also available in the nearby towns, and the advantages that are available here are also available in other towns, or even better than here. Therefore, the development of Xin Town has always lagged behind other surrounding towns.

Man cannot be suffocated to death by urine, nor can he die for the embarrassment of the environment. Wu Ou has been thinking of a way, and after bringing in some small investment, he found that it did not contribute much to the development of the entire Xinzhen. So he thought that if he wanted to completely change the appearance of this place, he would have to rely on big investment. But where is it so easy to get big investment.

After hitting a wall everywhere, Wu Ou accidentally learned that there was a man named Lai Xiaohu in this town who made a fortune outside and is now a billionaire. The big companies and businessmen outside look down on Xinzhen, but Lai Xiaohu, a native of Xinzhen, can't and can't look down on his hometown.

However, the visit during the Chinese New Year obviously didn't make Wu Ou gain anything, except for getting a little familiar with Lai Xiaohu. Lai Xiaohu also wants to invest in his hometown and then drive the prosperity of his hometown, but just like other people look down on Xinzhen, Lai Xiaohu really didn't find anything worth investing in Xinzhen. In addition to farmland, there is only one mountain left in Xin Town, which is considered a little resource.

At that time, Lai Xiaohu didn't think of coming to Xinzhen to invest in agriculture, and he didn't dare to think about contracting the entire mountain to develop tourism. It's too difficult. And the earnings are not too optimistic. Although Lai Xiaohu is from Xinzhen, he can't waste money in vain, and once the investment fails, the damage to Xinzhen will be even greater.

At the beginning, Lai Xiaohu did not agree to invest on the spot, and in Wu Ou's opinion, Lai Xiaohu basically had to give up this line. But today, when he suddenly saw Lai Xiaohu coming to visit him, Wu Ou suddenly had the hope of wireless again.

Under normal circumstances, Lai Xiaohu, who has no reason, will definitely not come to visit him, the two of them are not good friends, and there is no need to see each other when they come back. Since Lai Xiaohu is here, there must be something. Even although Lai Xiaohu didn't say it, Wu Ou himself had already thought about investment. And he also hopes that Lai Xiaohu will talk about investment.

After shaking hands with Lai Xiaohu cordially, Wu Ou pulled Lai Xiaohu to sit on the sofa next to him, and then he sat down next to Lai Xiaohu.

"Boss Lai, how is your business lately?" After greeting each other, Wu Ou asked Lai Xiaohu. After saying that, he grinned.

"It's okay, I'm planning to open a branch recently. So it's been busy. Lai Xiaohu said. When they met for the first time, Lai Xiaohu didn't completely tell his details.

While the two were chatting. Several people came over in the middle to look for Wu Ou, but it was obvious that Wu Ou paid more attention to Lai Xiaohu and asked those who had something to do with him to come back in the afternoon.

When they chatted and felt that it was almost time to get down to business, Wu Ou began to ask Lai Xiaohu what he came to find him this time.

"I know that Boss Lai is doing big business, but I don't know why Boss Lai came this time?" He lit a cigarette, Wu Ou took a deep breath and said.

"That's right. I plan to set up a vegetable planting base at home, and during the Chinese New Year, Mayor Wu kept persuading me to invest in my hometown, and there were really no good projects at that time. But now, as my Roca supermarket has started to expand, the demand for vegetables is also increasing. In the past, I used to set up a separate vegetable base in Jincheng, Hucheng and other places. Among them, it is the largest in Jincheng. However, this time, because there were too many places, we were worried that we would not be able to manage it in the future, so our company decided to build a centralized vegetable planting center in one place after research. And this vegetable base, I thought about it, and planned to move back to us from Jincheng. I hope to contribute to the development of my hometown. ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Wu Ou was overjoyed. Lai Xiaohu really didn't disappoint him, and he came here to discuss investing here. Although it is not clear how big Lai Xiaohu's investment will be, as long as Lai Xiaohu is willing to invest, it is a good sign.

"Then I don't know how big a vegetable base Boss Lai plans to build this time?" After the joy, Wu Ou asked Lai Xiaohu eagerly. After determining that Lai Xiaohu wanted to invest in the establishment of a vegetable base here, he was most concerned about how big a vegetable base Lai Xiaohu was going to establish.

"I plan to divide the whole project into several phases, of which the first phase, which needs to be built now, will require about 40,000 to 50,000 acres of land. Most of this will be used for vegetable cultivation, but a small part will be used for the construction of warehouses and office areas. After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu said to Wu Ou.

Regarding Wu Ou's answer, what Lai Xiaohu said was also the truth. At present, the vegetable base planned by Lai Xiaohu is also this one, but if Lejia Supermarket expands again in the future, then the corresponding vegetable base will definitely follow the expansion. Therefore, it is completely possible to say that this vegetable base has several phases.

As for the required land area, this is also calculated by Lai Xiaohu himself. Strictly speaking, if it is only to supply the vegetables that Roca Supermarket will normally need in the future, and does not consider any other privacy, then it is completely sufficient to establish a vegetable base with an area of about 1,000 acres.

However, in fact, considering other factors, just 1,000 acres is not enough at all. Among them, Lai Xiaohu's main consideration is actually security and confidentiality. In the ordinary thinking of normal people, it is obviously impossible to maintain the supply of vegetables in hundreds of Lejia supermarkets with a thousand acres of land, especially if there is not only one kind of vegetable provided. As long as a normal person can find out that something is wrong with Lejia Supermarket after close observation, and once someone suspects it, it will be detrimental to the secrecy of the space owned by Lai Xiaohu.

In the past, the vegetable bases were scattered in the suburbs of the city, which was relatively hidden. As long as it is not for the Roca supermarket, a follow-up survey was conducted. No one will notice that this is not normal. But when all the Roca supermarkets start to buy from one place, then this only vegetable base will definitely attract everyone's attention. At that time, it was very difficult to keep it secret.

At the beginning, Lai Xiaohu planned to one day restore the growth rate of all vegetables to normal. It's just that Lai Xiaohu couldn't fully realize this plan before. Although he had already started to do this in Jincheng, when he opened a branch in Shanghai, the plan was suspended. After opening a branch in a place, the most important thing is to complete the supply of vegetables in the shortest possible time, and Lai Xiaohu cannot spend up to several months to open a new store when the vegetables are ripe. Especially in this large-scale plan to open new stores, it is even more impossible for Lai Xiaohu to spend months growing vegetables in every place, and then wait for those vegetables to mature before opening new stores.

Because he wants to open a new store, Lai Xiaohu must also use energy crystal nuclei in the early stage to accelerate the growth of vegetables. And even this time it was the same.

Now, Lai Xiaohu plans to plant this thousand acres of special vegetables that need to be accelerated in the center of the entire vegetable planting base, and then plant a large number of vegetables growing at a normal rate on the edge to cover up the abnormality in the middle, which can greatly increase the secrecy.

Of this 1,000 acres, vegetables will be supplied to the newly opened branch in a short period of time. In addition to playing a hidden role, the remaining tens of thousands of acres will replace the middle 1,000 acres to supply vegetables to all Lejia supermarkets one day in the future. At that time, the 1,000 acres in the middle can be completely withdrawn.

Although the area of farmland required has increased, the number of energy crystal nuclei required is still exactly the same, after all, the growth acceleration also needs to be based on the use of a large number of energy crystal nuclei. For the sake of security, spending a little more rent is nothing in Lai Xiaohu's opinion.

However, after listening to what Lai Xiaohu said about the area of land needed, Wu Ou's whole mouth opened wide. Obviously it was given to the town by Lai Xiaohu's words, "It's great that Boss Lai can go back to his hometown to invest." I believe that the people of your hometown will be grateful to you when the time comes. He looked at Lai Xiaohu with his mouth open for a long time. Wu Ou just said such a sentence.

In the conversation with Lai Xiaohu later, Wu Ou didn't know which dimension he was in, and what he said made Lai Xiaohu wonder if Wu Ou's excited brain was abnormal, and he didn't know what to say.

"Well, that's great." Suddenly, Wu Ou slapped the table. Then he stood up and took Lai Xiaohu's hands and said, "What Boss Lai just said is true?" ”

"Of course." Lai Xiaohu himself was confused by the other party, I said that it had been so long since I said before, how could it seem that Wu Ou had just reacted.

Lai Xiaohu was right, Wu Ou did just react. For a period of time just now, in fact, his brain has been processing the information of tens of thousands of acres of fields that Lai Xiaohu said. Tens of thousands of acres. That's not a small amount. If Lai Xiaohu really wants to use tens of thousands of acres of land, then the rent of these fields alone will be at least tens of millions every year. And when the time comes, with other investments, it is not polite to say that Lai Xiaohu will suddenly be able to become the largest investor in the history of the entire Xin Town, although Lai Xiaohu is a local. So it took Wu Ou a long time to digest this information.

"Is it four to fifty thousand acres?" Wu Ou continued to ask.

"yes." Lai Xiaohu nodded mechanically and said.

After Lai Xiaohu nodded, Wu Ou excitedly turned around in place twice, and then sat down next to Lai Xiaohu and took two deep breaths. At this time, he looked a little back to normal in Lai Xiaohu's eyes.

"Boss Lai, I didn't say it, the town will definitely support this matter." Wu Ou said without thinking about it.

"That's good, as long as the town supports me, I'll be much more relieved." After talking to Wu Ou again, Lai Xiaohu left here. However, he was completely satisfied with what he had come this time. Looking at Wu Ou's appearance, you can know how much support this matter will get from the town at that time. Tens of millions of dollars of investment, no one will turn away.

After leaving Wu Ou's place, Lai Xiaohu took the car to the hotel where He Li and the others stayed outside the airport. At this time, Heli and the few people she brought were still there, but the others had been taken out by Zhang Ying.

Seeing Heli, Lai Xiaohu asked, "How was last night?" ”

"It's okay. It's just that this morning has been doing nothing and staying in the hotel feels a little boring. Seeing Lai Xiaohu, He Li complained slightly.

"Everyone else has to work, so you can rest and you're not happy." Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu said with a smile.

"That is, others can go out and have fun when they don't work, although I don't have to work, but I don't know when you call me, so I don't dare to go out to play. It would be strange if I wasn't bored in the hotel all morning. (To be continued......)
