"Let's go, go out and invite you to lunch, you'll be busy in the afternoon." Hearing He Li's complaints, Lai Xiaohu said. Later, Lai Xiaohu walked out of the hotel with He Li and the rest of the staff. Lai Xiaohu, who was more familiar with this area, quickly took a few of them to an ordinary restaurant.

"Don't look at this restaurant as ordinary, but the noodles here are still superb." Pointing to the somewhat dilapidated restaurant sign, Lai Xiaohu said to a few people. And what Lai Xiaohu plans to take these people to eat is the specialty stewed noodles of Yu Province. Although it is only a bowl of noodles, there are more than a dozen kinds of delicacies added to it, and compared with noodles in other places, the braised noodles in Yu Province have their own unique deliciousness.

asked for a small bowl for He Li, and then Lai Xiaohu and the rest of the people each had a big bowl, and by the way, they asked for a few side dishes, and several people ate enthusiastically in it.

After eating, Lai Xiaohu drove back to Xin Town with He Li and others, and in the morning Lai Xiaohu and Wu Ou reached an agreement on leasing the land in Xin Town, and this time Lai Xiaohu will take He Li and Wu Ou to negotiate in detail in the afternoon.

Because he had already gotten along with Lai Xiaohu, Wu Ou had been waiting for them in the office in the afternoon, the door of the office had been open, and when Lai Xiaohu and them appeared, Wu Ou saw it at a glance.

"Boss Lai, you're here early enough." stepped forward and shook hands with Lai Xiaohu, He Li and the others, and then Wu Ou ushered them into the house.

After sitting down, Wu Ou asked his assistant to pour a cup of tea for several people, and after a while, he said to Lai Xiaohu with a slightly embarrassed affection: "Boss Lai, you are the person here, I won't blame you, I still have the same meaning as the morning about the matter of renting farmland you said, and our town is strongly supportive." It's just that I was a little too excited to hear from you in the morning that I forgot one thing. ”

"Oh. Don't know what's going on? Lai Xiaohu said with a frown. My colleague also prayed in his heart that what Wu Ou said would not be too bad.

"That's right, according to the regulations issued by the city, you need to get permission from the city to lease the land." After that, Wu Ou directly told Lai Xiaohu what he was sorry for. The main thing Wu Ou said was actually the issue of approval. Previously, Lai Xiaohu always thought that his lease of land only needed to get the approval of the town. That's why he came directly to Wu Ou to discuss this matter at that time. After Wu Ou agreed, Lai Xiaohu directly brought He Li to plan to discuss practical issues such as rent with the town in detail.

If the land leased by Lai Xiaohu is only a few hundred or thousands of acres in size like before, there will naturally be no other problems. But now Lai Xiaohu plans to lease 40,000 to 50,000 acres of land, which is not a small area. The area of 40,000 to 50,000 acres is so large that the town has no authority at all. Such a large area can only be approved by the city, and without the consent of the city, even if Wu Ou himself is willing, there is no way.

Wu Ou may have been too excited at the time, so he forgot about it. However, after Lai Xiaohu left, Wu Ou slowly calmed down, and later thought carefully about the process of talking with Lai Xiaohu in the morning during lunch at lunch. I suddenly remembered that I was negligent. Thinking that Lai Xiaohu was going to come again in the afternoon, Wu Ou didn't call Lai Xiaohu to talk about it at that time, thinking that he would wait until Lai Xiaohu came in the afternoon.

"Oh, I see." After Wu Ou finished speaking, it was Lai Xiaohu's turn to breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that his lease of farmland had been vetoed by the town. The approval problem that Wu Ou mentioned is not much of a problem in Lai Xiaohu's opinion. At best, it's a bit of a hassle to deal with.

"Otherwise," Wu Ou said to Lai Xiaohu after thinking about it for a while: "In my opinion, the matter of your leasing of farmland should not be a big problem. Now I've exchanged opinions with other people in town. Basically agreed. As for the city that has not yet been approved. If nothing else, it will be approved. So you see if this will work, let's negotiate here first, and after the exact area, price and term of the leased farmland are determined, I will personally accompany you to the city to deliver the report, and as long as we get the approval of the city, we can sign the contract here. ”

"What do you think of this?" Wu Ou looked at Lai Xiaohu and asked.

"Okay." I thought about it. Lai Xiaohu nodded and said. Since Wu Ou is willing to help all the way at that time, the probability of success will be greater.

After getting Lai Xiaohu's signal, He Li began to negotiate with Wu Ou and a few assistants he brought over, while Lai Xiaohu sat next to He Li. He basically doesn't speak except for big things. Let Heli come, because Heli has always been in charge of things related to farmland, and Heli has the most experience in this area. As for some of the basic situation of Xinzhen, especially the details of land prices, Lai Xiaohu has already given the bottom to Heli, and I believe that Heli can fully cope with this problem. Especially now, when both sides are more interested in facilitating this matter, there will basically be no major problems in the negotiations.

Lai Xiaohu saw that the negotiations were relatively smooth, but when he left in the afternoon, he did not expect the process to be smoother than he imagined. The area of the leased land was 50,000 mu proposed by He Li at that time, and Wu Ou agreed to this area without thinking about it. At present, the cultivated land area of the entire Xin Town is about 60,000 mu, and the 50,000 mu requested by He Li has almost reached 90 percent of the cultivated land area of the entire Xin Town. But Wu Ou didn't care about this at all. In Wu Ou's eyes, anyway, these farmlands can't create income if they are kept now, so it is better to lease them to Lai Xiaohu. After all, the more Lai Xiaohu leases, the more rent he needs to pay at that time. These rents alone are more than enough to cover the net income of those farmlands every day. Wu Ou seems that the income generated by the people below is far less than that of Lai Xiaohu's unified cultivation of vegetables, so the larger the area Lai Xiaohu leases, the more in line with his wishes.

The lease area was finally set at 50,000 mu, and after Wu Ou proposed a price of 1,000 yuan per mu of land a year, under Lai Xiaohu's instructions, He Li also agreed. The price of 1,000 yuan a year for one mu of land is basically in line with the current market price of land lease in Xinzhen. Of course, according to Heli's idea, this price can be lowered a little more if it is negotiated, but Lai Xiaohu did not let her continue to lower the price. Although prices can continue to keep down. But if the pressure is too low, maybe Wu Ou will agree, but once this matter spreads, then Lai Xiaohu's reputation will be over. In the eyes of Xinzhen people, Lai Xiaohu is from his hometown, if Lai Xiaohu pushes the price too hard, how will these Xinzhen people think of Lai Xiaohu at that time? Maybe someone will poke Lai Xiaohu's backbone in the back. In people's traditional consciousness, hometown people must take care of hometown people.

In this case, Lai Xiaohu is also willing to give a little more money to the people of Xinzhen, which can be regarded as a kind of care for his hometown and a kind of return to his hometown.

After the area and price have been negotiated. The only thing that has not yet been determined is the length of the lease and the fact that the contract will be amended every few years. On this issue, Lai Xiaohu wants to lease for a few more years, preferably for a few decades, but Wu Ou hopes to set this price shorter, ten or twenty years is of course the best. And Wu Ou also hopes to be able to revise the contract every three or four years.

It seems that everyone knows that the value of land will continue to rise in the future, and they all want to sign a contract that is beneficial to them as much as possible. Because an afternoon is too short. Therefore, the latter issues have not been discussed yet, and today's negotiation is over. Although there were still a few questions left when leaving, both Lai Xiaohu and Wu Ou were very satisfied with the results of this negotiation.

It was already unexpected to be able to negotiate this point in one afternoon. This shows that both sides have sufficient intentions to bring about this matter. They are also willing to make concessions on key issues. With the basis of these negotiations, everyone is naturally full of hope for tomorrow's negotiations.

In the evening, Wu Ou hosted a banquet in the name of the town government to entertain Lai Xiaohu and his party, in addition to Wu Ou, the town secretary and several other leaders were also present.

Needless to say, this banquet was used by Wu Ou and others to entertain Lai Xiaohu. It can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to Lai Xiaohu for his investment, and it is also a kind of support for his investment.

Government banquets are generally indispensable for drinking, and the more you are in the towns below, the more people here can drink. At the banquet in the evening, Wu Ou and others took turns. directly put on a look of wanting to get Lai Xiaohu drunk.

If it weren't for Lai Xiaohu's drinking, maybe they would have succeeded. But even then, it was not less. And except for He Li, who was spared because she was a woman, the two men who followed her were all killed, and when she left, she had to let Lai Xiaohu hold two people.

After the banquet ended, Wu Ou and the others left. But Lai Xiaohu and the others had to go back to the hotel near the airport. He Li was driving in front, and Lai Xiaohu was watching the two drunk subordinates from behind. When he arrived at the hotel, after Lai Xiaohu sent the two drunk people to the room, he went to see the people who followed Zhang Ying.

The group of people brought out by Zhang Ying had already returned to the hotel in the evening, and after settling down his subordinates, Zhang Ying thought about it and opened a room next to it.

In fact, Zhang Ying came by car, and the car was temporarily rented by Lai Xiaohu and them after they came back. It only takes ten minutes for her to get home from here. But after thinking about it, Zhang Ying still chose to stay. The employees are living in the hotel, so they can't go home and live with the general manager. Yesterday I finally came back, so when I went home to visit my family, it was nothing. However, if you still go home every day in the future, it will inevitably make your subordinates have the idea that the leader is unwilling to share the weal and woe with everyone.

Through these people, Lai Xiaohu also knew that Zhang Ying did not go back, but opened a room next to him and stayed. This made Lai Xiaohu, who was originally planning to go back, also extinguish his thoughts of going back. After taking out the phone and calling Dong Cuiyun about his situation, Lai Xiaohu told Dong Cuiyun that he would not go back at night.

"Then you and Xiaoying should rest outside." Dong Cuiyun said with concern on the phone. At the end, he hung up the phone and told Zhang Xiuying what Lai Xiaohu said when he called.

came to the outside of Zhang Ying's room and knocked on them twice, but no one responded. Lai Xiaohu knocked hard twice, and after a while, he heard the sound of the door opening, only to see Zhang Ying standing at the door with his eyes half-open and moving slowly.

"You're already asleep, huh?" Seeing Zhang Ying's appearance, Lai Xiaohu asked.

Looking up and seeing that it was Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying relieved herself, "Well, I was very sleepy after running for a day today, and I fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while after coming back." ”

"And why are you here too?" After Lai Xiaohu came in. Zhang Ying asked.

"You're all here to share the ups and downs with everyone, so how can I not stay and show my support for you. Besides, I'm sharing your ups and downs. ”

After taking off his shirt, Lai Xiaohu said: "I have already called home, if you are sleepy, go to bed first." ”

Lai Xiaohu went to take a bath, and when he came out, he saw that Zhang Ying was really lying on the bed and falling asleep, seeing her like this, Lai Xiaohu could only lie down and sleep next to her helplessly.

Meimei slept well, and Zhang Ying woke up earlier than Lai Xiaohu the next day. Looking at Lai Xiaohu, who was still lying asleep beside him, Zhang Ying smiled with satisfaction.

swept Lai Xiaohu's nose a few times with his hair, and Lai Xiaohu woke up faintly. "It's time to get up, there are more things going on today, so you can't sleep lazy."

After eating the breakfast provided in the hotel, Lai Xiaohu continued to act separately with Zhang Ying and the others. Since Zhang Ying slept too early last night, Lai Xiaohu didn't ask her about the progress there.

However, Lai Xiaohu's progress here is still as smooth as yesterday. The lease was finally set at twenty years. This is the longest lease period that Wu Ou can give. If it's too long, he won't say anything. And Wu Ou also said at the time, if the time is too long. When the time comes, it will be reported to the city. It is not very likely to be approved, and he said that he said it after considering the above approval factors for 20 years. And Lai Xiaohu saw that Wu Ou said this, and in the end he didn't dwell on this, and agreed after thinking about it.

However, because Lai Xiaohu did not entangle with Wu Ou for too long, Wu Ou also made concessions to Lai Xiaohu on the issue of contract modification proposed by Lai Xiaohu. Previously, Wu Ou had always wanted to change the lease contract every three years. In the end, in order to repay Lai Xiaohu's concession just now, Wu Ou also gave in on this issue and agreed to revise the time to five years. That is to say, every five years, the two parties should revise the lease contract, and the main content of the amendment is actually the issue of the lease fee, of course, the two parties will also negotiate the extension of the lease term appropriately.

A morning of time. Lai Xiaohu and the others have reached an agreement on all major issues related to the lease, and the remaining detailed issues, such as the compensation for the leased part of the land, some crops or trees on it, and the environmental pollution problems within the jurisdiction, etc., can only be determined after an in-depth investigation of the topography of Xinzhen.

Of course, the rest of these problems are mainly responsible for Heli herself. And Lai Xiaohu is more concerned about only one, that is, Wu Ou promised him that he would close all polluting small factories in the jurisdiction. Pollution and agriculture have always been mortal enemies, especially the high-value vegetable cultivation that Lai Xiaohu wants to carry out, if the soil or river pollution in Xinzhen is too serious by then, then how can Lai Xiaohu rest assured to plant here.

At that time, Lai Xiaohu's vegetable base will be all over Xin Town, and pollution in any place will affect Lai Xiaohu. So at this point, Lai Xiaohu directly named the problem of pollution. Wu Ou thought about it, and out of the importance of Lai Xiaohu's investment, he also promised that if there were polluting enterprises in the jurisdiction, he would be responsible for shutting down these small factories to prevent the impact on Lai Xiaohu's vegetable cultivation industry.

In the afternoon, without letting the town's staff and Wu Ou accompany him, Lai Xiaohu drove He Li and others around the entire Xin Town. Whether it was the center of the town, or every village, farmland, etc., Lai Xiaohu and they all went to observe the side. And Lai Xiaohu's purpose in turning around this circle is naturally to take Heli and them to take a look on the spot, so that they can understand the actual situation in Xinzhen and avoid suffering losses in the process of the next negotiations.

The next day, Wu Ou sent several staff members to accompany He Li and them to continue to negotiate the details of the contract, and then he accompanied Lai Xiaohu to Xinshi.

The city that Wu Ou had been talking about before was not actually referring to the commercial city where Lai Xiaohu and his family were located, but the new city that directly governed Xinzhen. This is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of a commercial city, although the level is not very high, but the new city is also one of the top 100 counties in the country, and the economy is quite developed.

Wu Ou's assistant drove the car, and Lai Xiaohu and Wu Ou sat in the back, chatting about their hometown while watching the scenery along the way.

"I don't think much has changed here along the way?" On the way to the city, Lai Xiaohu said to Wu Ou.

"Yes, what was like along the way a few years ago is basically what it is now, just like our Xinzhen." Speaking of this, Wu Ou sighed: "Although the economy of our new city is still quite developed, but the better things are all concentrated in the east and north. ”

Later, Wu Ou praised Lai Xiaohu: "But God is not too partial, he didn't give us any good resources, but he made our Xin Zhen a big rich man, this time with Boss Lai's investment, it is difficult for Xin Zhen to develop without thinking." ”

"Mayor Wu has won the award." Lai Xiaohu hurriedly said modestly: "When the time comes, Xinzhen will be developed, and it will all be the credit of Mayor Wu." If you hadn't come to me at the beginning, we wouldn't be cooperating with us today. (To be continued......)
