In the face of this problem, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin looked at each other.
Then, Zhou Hao said: "I want to build a factory here, because the city's land price is too expensive, so I thought about building a factory here."
Dai Zhong had only asked this question in the first place. In any case, there was no way to develop this vast swath of land, so it would be better to sell it to increase the village's income.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Then, how much land do you plan on taking?"
Zhou Hao looked at the wasteland which was densely covered by weeds. The place near the Shuo Hua village turned into a small scale garbage dump.
Of course, he would not buy the entire plot of land, but he still wanted to get as much land as possible, so he asked Dai Zhong, "How much land can you sell me?"
Dai Zhong was shocked by Zhou Hao's question, but since he was using it to build a factory, its size was definitely not small.
He discussed with the other villagers, who were also of a certain age, for a while, then said to Zhou Hao: "It's not good to sell them all to you, after all, we might be able to use them in the future, but, selling half of them to you is still okay."
Zhou Hao had originally thought that he would be satisfied with just taking one or two thousand square meters, but he never thought that Dai Gang and the others would actually be willing to sell half of this wasteland to him.
With such a large piece of land, even if the Japanese didn't buy it in the future, when the Xiang City expanded to the outside world, these lands would still be very valuable.
He suppressed the pleasant surprise in his heart as he said calmly, "Chief Dai, if I were to buy half of this land, what kind of price would you want?"
This put Dai Zhong in a difficult position, as he had never had any experience in this area. Therefore, he discussed it with the few villagers who seemed to be highly respected in the village.
After a long while, he said to Zhou Hao: "Sir, this land is so big, and I can't let the village suffer any losses. We'll sell it to you for a million dollars. "
"A million?" Zhou Hao exclaimed.
You know, when the Japanese came to buy it, just the few villagers who lived near the wasteland alone would earn more than a million yuan each.
The total area of each of their homes was less than a hundred square meters. Currently, Zhou Hao needed to spend one million to obtain seven to eight thousand acres of land.
Even Zhao Yuqin revealed a surprised expression and signalled to Zhou Hao that this land was worth buying.
When Dai Zhong heard Zhou Hao's cry of surprise, he thought that his bid was too high. With a troubled expression on his face, he said, "Sir, is the price too high? Actually, we can still discuss the price. "
In fact, even if the villagers of the Multicolored Village pulled their produce into the city, after a year, they would only be able to earn several hundred yuan per household at most.
After Zhou Hao heard what Dai Gang said, he secretly laughed in his heart. It was not that expensive, but it was too cheap.
He naturally wouldn't tell Dai Zhong in his heart. Instead, he frowned and said, "It is indeed quite high. Village Chief Dai, look, this is only a piece of barren land. Even if you want to grow vegetables and fish, you would have to spend a lot of effort."
"Then, mister, what do you mean?"
"How about we use our good intentions? Eight hundred thousand. It can't be any more." Zhou Hao said.
Dai Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment. To them, eight hundred thousand was already a very big number.
If they were to split the loot, each villager would get a few thousand yuan, which was much better than wasting this piece of land.
Therefore, he raised his head to look at Zhou Hao, "Alright, eight hundred thousand is eight hundred thousand, but you have to pay it off in one go."
"No problem." Zhou Hao said: "However, there are too many weeds on this land, you guys have to help me clean them up."
"I can." Dai Zhong quickly agreed. The villagers here were extremely proficient in farming and worked like farmers. It was naturally easy for them to weed out some weeds.
Without further ado, Zhou Hao, Zhao Yuqin and the others followed Dai Gang to the village committee to complete the procedures.
Seeing Zhou Hao buying seven to eight thousand acres of land in an afternoon, Yan Tong felt as if he was in a dream.
The village committee was actually the backyard of the village's ancestral hall. Inside, there were a few wooden tables and wooden stools, and a few barefoot old men were sitting around playing chess. It looked like a club for the elderly.
Dai Zhong's status in the village was obviously very high, and the villagers all respected him.
Everyone was very happy when they heard that he had sold off half of the wasteland at the side of the village so that everyone in the village could get a share of the thousand. They became even more passionate towards Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin, the rich ones.
On the other hand, although the Village Engraved Board could decide to sell the land to Zhou Hao, with such a large area involved, they had to inform the town's government.
Shuohua Village was under the jurisdiction of the town of Flat Head, so Dai Zhong called the town government.
When the town government heard that the village was going to sell land, they also quickly agreed, because they could also take some "benefits" from it.
With the word "Li" written on his head, the town government immediately had someone prepare the documents for buying and selling and sent them to the village of Shuanghua.
Zhou Hao asked Dai Zhong, "Village Chief Dai, do you want the bank transfer or cash transfer?"
"Cash, cash." Dai Zhong replied immediately.
Although the town government had long since asked the village committee to open a bank account, they were still used to cash because of the amount of money on the committee and because the villagers didn't have the concept of bank savings.
However, Zhou Hao was in a bit of a dilemma, because the few million prize money were all in Yan Tong's account. It would be very troublesome to take out this amount of money from the bank.
Zhao Yuqin, who was at the side, saw Zhou Hao's expression, he immediately guessed his problem and laughed: "I have cash in my security company, I will get it from the people here first."
Zhou Hao nodded, "Thank you, Sister Zhao, I will transfer the money to you right after we go back."
"There's no need to rush, I'm not in a hurry for money." Zhao Yuqin laughed and then called Xinghe Securities Company to get the cash.
While they were waiting, Dai Zhong and the other villagers were very cordial and cordial towards Zhou Hao and the others. They even took out the tea leaves that they had stored.
But for Zhao Yuqin, compared to the special teas that her father drank, these were like clouds and mud.
But she would not refuse the good intentions of the villagers. During this time, Dai Zhong introduced the Shuo Hua Village to Zhou Hao and the others.
There was a highway that led to the city. Although it wasn't very specific, it was rather convenient. As for the three sides of the mountain surrounding the village, there was a flowerbed river passing by. The environment was very quiet.
Zhou Hao remembered that after the large production base was built, the city specially built a highway here, and the development of Xiang City later on was closely related to this production base.
Not long after, the people from the government and the employees of Xinghe Securities Company arrived one after another.
As for Zhao Yuqin's Xinghe Securities, they were driven over in a Santana by four male employees. After all, to take eight hundred thousand in cash, safety was still very important.
When the four employees took out the stack of hundred-dollar bills, everyone, including the director of the town government office, stared at them.
Especially Dai Zhong and the other villagers, they had never seen so much cash before. Yan Tong was also very surprised.
Although the money was theirs, from winning the prize to Zhao Yuqin transferring the money into her account, she could only see the numbers in the deposit book. She didn't really know how much money there were in the few million.
"Sign this contract and the deal will be completed." The office manager was the first to recover his wits.
"Also, give me a copy of your ID card. The government needs it."
Zhou Hao took out two pieces of paper, on which was a copy of Yan Tong's ID, because Zhou Hao himself wasn't old enough to get one yet.
He gave a copy of the two copies to Dai Zhong, and a copy to the director. He then asked Yan Tong to sign the contract.
It was written in the contract that the piece of land that Zhou Hao had bought was on the side of the Shouhua Village. It had an area of more than 7600 mu, and if he wore it later, people would put a label on it.
After handing the eight hundred thousand to Dai Gang, Dai Zhong tactfully handed one hundred and fifty thousand to the office manager.
It was given to the big shots of the town government. He even asked some of the stronger men in the village to take care of the director's safety.
After all of this was done, Dai Zhong turned to Zhou Hao and the others and said, "Mr Zhou, Miss Zhao, why don't you all stay for dinner?"
Zhou Hao shook his head, "No, we still have things to do, so we won't disturb you village elders."
He said to Dai Zhong, "We will come back in a few days. I hope that Village Chief Dai can clean up the weeds on my plot of land by then."
"Of course, of course." Dai Zhong immediately agreed and personally escorted Zhou Hao and the others to the entrance of the village.
After Zhao Yuqin drove away for a long time, Dai Zhong and the other villagers were still standing at the entrance waving their hands at them.
"These villagers are really simple and honest." Zhou Hao looked at them through the mirror.
"He's so simple and yet you have the heart to slaughter him?" Zhao Yuqin smiled as she glanced at Zhou Hao, "You didn't even need a million to buy a piece of land like this, you've earned quite a bit."
"You can't say that." Zhou Hao laughed.
"From our perspective, they have earned a lot. However, to Village Chief Dai and the others, they have earned a lot. Right now, they might be laughing at us. Eight hundred thousand is a lot of money to buy a piece of barren land that is completely useless."
Zhao Yuqin began to giggle, "I didn't expect that you would be so black-hearted when you're young."
"By the way, Sister Zhao, do you know any construction teams?" Zhou Hao asked Zhao Yuqin.
"I do know some, what's wrong?" Do you really want to build a factory there? "
Zhou Hao nodded his head, "It's not really a factory, we just need to ruthlessly build the outer walls. We do not need anything else.
"Also, the area doesn't need to be that big, just three or two thousand square meters of factory will do."
"Why is that?" Zhao Yuqin was puzzled.
"It's still unclear, but it's bound to be useful." Zhou Hao laughed.
Compared to a simple open space, the cost of industrial land was much lower. Next year, when the Japanese people bought land from him, he would be able to earn more money from them.
He said to Zhao Yuqin: "Sister Zhao, we are only building walls, how much do you think it would cost?"
"If that's the case, then you don't need to spend too much money. Moreover, if I were to personally step in, then the materials for the building would be much cheaper. The total amount of building materials would only be around 200,000 yuan."
"Then I'll be troubling you, Sister Zhao."
