With the success of the family farm and the start of the multi-story greenhouse, Zeng Zhi was idle for a while, delivering vegetables to his eldest sister's restaurant and his own vegetable supermarket every day, and he didn't need to worry about the rest. So, Zeng Zhi put his energy on another thing.

Whether it is the dishes delivered to the restaurant of the eldest sister's family, or the agricultural products sold in the vegetable supermarket, there are fish in them, and now Zeng Zhi has established a vegetable production base, and when others notice him, he can explain the origin of the vegetables, but the origin of these fish does not have a good excuse.

Therefore, the most urgent thing for him at present is to rent a large area of water and raise some fish to provide cover for the fish produced in the Qinglian Secret Realm.

However, as a village located in the mountainous area, there are no large lakes and reservoirs, that is, there are only two or three small weir ponds with an area of about one acre.

Not only is it the combination of villages, but also the entire Zhongpai Township, there are very few lakes and reservoirs, as far as Zeng Zhi knows, with an area of more than one square kilometer, there are only two or three in the whole township. Moreover, Zeng Zhi did not know whether these lakes and reservoirs had been contracted.

Although Zeng Zhi didn't understand, there was one person who definitely understood, and that was naturally his great-grandfather Zeng Lingxu. After all, as the old secretary of the village and the director of the village committee, he not only knows the situation in the village very well, but also knows the situation in the whole township.

So, Zeng Zhi found his great-grandfather and asked, "By the way, Gaozu, are there any lakes or reservoirs in our township that are not rented?" I'm going to rent one or two, preferably a little bigger. ”

Zeng Lingxu thought for a while and said: "There are no big lakes and reservoirs in our village, and there are few in the whole township, and most of them are rented out, and now there is only one left." ”

When Zeng Zhi heard another one, he was overjoyed in his heart and asked, "Which one is it?" ”

"Big lump." Zeng Lingxu said.

Zeng Zhi was even happier and said, "No one has rented Datuowa yet?" That's great. ”

Datuowa can be said to be the largest lake in Zhongpai Township, to be precise, it is a reservoir, with an area of 2.1 square kilometers, which is more than 3,000 acres. Moreover, the water quality of this reservoir is very good, so if you raise your own fish, it is absolutely suitable.

Zeng Zhi asked: "How long is the longest lease period and how much is the rent?" ”

"The national regulations are 30 years, as for the rent, I heard that the township requirements are 200 yuan/mu/year, but many people are too expensive, after all, the reservoir area is not small, if it is 200 yuan, the annual rent will be more than 600,000 yuan, so it has not been rented out for a long time. You are a local, and you are a college student returning to your hometown to start a business, so I will talk to the township to see if I can get it at a price of 100 yuan/mu/year. Zeng Lingxu said.

Zeng Zhi nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for Gaozu." However, the price is the best to negotiate, and I decided to rent it if I can't negotiate. ”

For the current Zeng Zhi, there is not much difference between 300,000 and 600,000, and the most important thing is to win the lease contract for this water. In that case, no matter how much fish Zeng Zhi has in the future, he can sell it boldly with confidence. After all, the reservoir covers an area of more than 3,000 acres, and the water depth of the reservoir reaches an average of five meters. Even if the annual output per mu is 1,000 catties, the fish that this reservoir can produce in a year is more than 3 million catties.

………………

Zeng Lingxu was a resolute person, and after agreeing to Zeng Zhi, he immediately went to the township. Only an hour later, he called Zeng Zhi, and the township agreed to lease Datuowa to him, and considering that he was a local young man who returned to his hometown to start a business, the township also gave a great discount on the issue of rent, which was the price that Zeng Lingxu had told Zeng Zhi before - 100 yuan/mu/year, paid every five years, and the lease period was 30 years.

Zeng Zhi was very happy, and immediately drove to the township, and on the same day signed a lease contract with the township government, and paid a deposit of 75,000 yuan, and the remaining rent of 1.5 million yuan for the first five years should be paid before the end of this year, otherwise the township will take back the right to contract.

………………

After doing a big thing again, Zeng Zhi was very happy when he returned home, sitting alone in the yard, imagining a bright future.

"Great ambition, great ambition!" Just when Zeng Zhi was drooling alone, he heard someone calling him.

Zeng Zhi looked up and saw that a motorcycle had slid to the door of his house, and some familiar figures got out of the car.

Zeng Zhi smiled and greeted: "Chuidong? Qin Yong? Is that you? When did you come back? ”

These two people, in terms of seniority, one is his uncle, and the other is a nephew. However, they have been playing together since they wore open crotch pants, so except for some public occasions, they are directly called by their names in private.

His two hair are small, and his grades are quite good. Since the first grade of primary school, they, together with Zeng Zhi, have almost monopolized the top three in the class. Moreover, even if there is an occasional person who does not perform properly, he will basically not fall outside the top five.

When they were in junior high school, the three of them were admitted to the junior high school in the city together, and it was very coincidental that they were all in the same class.

However, when I was in junior high school, each other's grades had already begun to stretch. Zeng Zhi is a top student as always, and has always maintained the top three in the class, and is also the top three in the grade, because their class is a key class, and the top ten in the school are basically in their class. Zeng Chuidong and Zeng Qinyong's grades were slightly worse, basically around the top ten in the class.

Later, they were admitted to Gucheng No. 1 Middle School together, which is the best high school in the southeast area of Jiangdu and a key high school in Jiangdu.

This was a turning point for the three of them.

Zeng Zhi continued his experience as a scholar, basically maintaining the top two in the class and the top ten in the whole grade, but in the first college entrance examination, he played a little abnormally, and the famous school he applied for as his first choice failed to go, and he fell to the second choice, but it was also a 985 and 211 university in Beijing, but the arrogant Zeng Zhi did not go, chose to repeat his studies for a year, and finally went to the University of Science and Technology.

Zeng Qinyong, who went to high school and was still in the same class as Zeng Zhi, because of the care of Zeng Zhi, an elder, and he was also quite hard-working, his grades were okay, basically in the top ten in the class, the top 100 in the school, and during the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Southwest University, and now he is teaching in a high school in Jiangdu.

In another class, Zeng Chuidong, in the first year of high school, became obsessed with online games, but his grades became worse and worse, and finally in the second year of high school, he felt that he couldn't keep up and chose to be a soldier. Now he has been discharged from the army for several years and works as a security guard in a company in the ancient city.
