Chapter 1039 - Renting A Mountain With Three Million Yuan!



Chapter 1039 Renting a Mountain with Three Million Yuan!

Old Yang went down the mountain, followed by Fang Qiu and the others.

Back in the village, Old Yang was so excited that he gathered all the villagers and told them that Fang Qiu was going to build a cultivation base here.

Everyone cheered and became excited immediately without needing Old Yang to tell them the benefits of this matter.

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Fang Qiu couldn’t help smiling.

He knew the reason why the villagers were so excited and cheered crazily—the construction of the cultivation base meant that people outside would come into contact with Leprosy Village.

They had been isolated here for a very long time. Practically, none of them dared to leave. Occasionally, some villagers would receive frightened gazes from others upon leaving. Thus, they could only stay here.

But now, some people were going to build a cultivation base here. Since they were willing to build a cultivation base here, they would definitely not look down on them.

Most importantly, once this cultivation base was built, there would definitely be more people visiting this place. At that time, as the cultivation base was completed, their village would gradually become a normal one from Leprosy Village!

Therefore, they were excited and cheered.

However, Fang Qiu’s purpose was to help the villagers live with dignity or even pride because they had precious herbs here!

Soon, in the cheers of everyone, Old Yang came over with a middle-aged man.

“This is the Village Chief of our village. His name is Zhang Shugen,” Old Yang said.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang.”

Fang Qiu took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Shugen.

Zhang Shugen’s hands were trembling.

This was the first time he had shaken hands with someone from the outside. This was also the first time he had met someone who wasn’t afraid of him, didn’t look down on him, and even took the initiative to shake hands with him.

Not only Zhang Shugen, but also Old Yang next to him and the villagers around him were excited when they saw Fang Qiu reaching out his hand to Zhang Shugen.

“I agree to your plan!” Zhang Shugen said incoherently as he shook hands with Fang Qiu.

“Mr. Zhang, don’t be so anxious.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “There are some important things that we need to know. After confirming the ownership of this mountain, we have to talk about the details of cooperation before we can start construction. These are all necessary steps. We must be cautious.”

Hearing that, Zhang Shugen was stunned at first. He then thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to my home. Let’s talk about it there.”

After that, Zhang Shugen and Old Yang took Fang Qiu and the others to a dilapidated but spacious bungalow.

Everyone sat down.

“Mr. Zhang, I want to know who owns this mountain first. This old man said that this mountain belongs to your village. Do you have any documents to prove it?” Fang Qiu asked.

Zhang Shugen immediately nodded and said, “Yes. No one has come to the mountains near the village since I was born. It’s been decades. Except for some people who came from afar and are unfamiliar with our village, no one dares to approach or go up the mountain.

“Later, before the last Village Chief died, he gave me a certificate, which was said to be given by the government.

Speaking of this, Zhang Shugen immediately went to look for it. Soon, he found the yellowed certificate with a leather cover and handed it to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu took it and had a look.

“Certificate.

“Due to the establishment of Leprosy Village and in order to provide enough living space for the villagers of Leprosy Village, the area within ten kilometers around Leprosy Village is under the jurisdiction of Leprosy Village, and other cities, towns, and counties have no right to intervene in it. Everything within the jurisdiction of Leprosy Village can be reclaimed, rented, excavated, planted, and developed until the country takes it back.”

At the sight of this certificate, Fang Qiu was shocked.

“Oh my! There’s such a certificate?”

Zhou Xiaotian and Sun Hao came over and took a look at it, and then they were both stunned.

This was basically giving a piece of land for free.

Moreover, all the uses of this piece of land had been licensed.

In other words, the government had given Leprosy Village this piece of land, and they could do whatever they wanted. No one could interfere. The money they made and everything they harvested from this piece of land belonged to Leprosy Village. They didn’t even have to pay taxes.

In modern terms, Leprosy Village was like a special administrative region!

However, thinking about it carefully, Fang Qiu was not so shocked.

After all, this was Leprosy Village.

This was all the government could do to help them. After all, the government couldn’t force other people to socialize with them.

“Mr. Zhang, you should keep it well.”

After reading it, Fang Qiu returned the certificate to Zhang Shugen and said with a smile, “Now, let’s discuss the details of the contract.”

“There’s no need to discuss. We’ll agree to all your requests!” Zhang Shugen said at once.

“No.”

Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “It’s about the reputation of our company. Our company aims to help and serve the people. On behalf of the company, I thank you for your trust in our company, but the procedure must be complete. The most important thing is that we will not take a penny from the people. The land here is under the jurisdiction of your village. Even if you don’t see the value of the land now, I need to make it clear to you.”

“We need to rent this whole mountain. Maybe the land we’ll need in the future will be expanded in all directions with the mountain as the center. I hope we can rent the mountain indefinitely. Of course, if the land under your jurisdiction is taken back by the government, we will negotiate with them again about the contract. For now, how much do you think the annual rental fee should be for our needs?”

As soon as Fang Qiu said that, Zhao Shanlin and the other three companions all nodded in agreement.

The construction of the cultivation base was not a trivial matter. It was related to the interests of many people. They had to make every detail clear and write it on the contract.

Zhang Shugen stumbled, shook his head, and waved his hand. “The rental fee? No, no need. It’s free. You guys helped us a lot by developing the mountain. We don’t dare to ask for any money!”

“We still have to pay. After all, we have occupied your mountain. Although you don’t need to pick herbs in the mountain in the future, there are many things on the mountain that you can’t pick, either, such as wild fruits, wild eatable plants and sweet potatoes.”

Speaking of this, Fang Qiu smiled again and continued, “The purpose of our building the cultivation base here, in addition to planting dendrobe, is to help your village develop. Only when you charge can your village have money to develop better, isn’t it?”

When Zhang Shugen heard that, he thought it seemed to be the case.

“To build your village into a better place, you need a large amount of money. You can’t always let us use the land for free, can you?” asked Fang Qiu.

“But I don’t know how much the fee will be.”

Zhang Shugen raised his eyebrows.

Fang Qiu thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, searched on the Internet, and said, “How about this? At present, the rental price of the mountain area in the country is about 20 per mu, and one mu of land is 666 square meters. In addition, Nanjiang has not been developed yet, so the price will be relatively low. But since I’m here with sincerity, these don’t matter.

“I estimate that the land area of this mountain is about 100,000 mu. We don’t need to be so accurate. Let’s calculate in mountains.

“I just calculated that there are 50 families in your village, more than 100 people in total, right?” asked Fang Qiu.

“In fact, it’s 51 families, 103 people in total,” said Zhang Shugen.

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “Then how about this? I’ll pay you 3 million yuan per year for the rental of this mountain. You can use this money to develop the village as a whole or distribute it to each family equally. If expand the area that I want to use in the future, I’ll increase the corresponding rental fees according to the market price. Is that okay?”

This price was actually higher than the average price in the country.

In fact, he could give more money, because the profit made from selling dendrobes would be very large.

But he was worried that giving too much money would directly impact the whole village.

Every year, each family would be given fifty thousand yuan, neither too much nor too little. When the villagers got used to the rich new life, he could slowly increase the money.

“That much?”

Zhang Shugen was shocked.

He didn’t expect that Fang Qiu would offer a high price of 3 million!

“Good heavens!

“What a large amount of money!”

It should be noted that each family of the village only earned two to three thousand yuan per year in the past!

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “Not much. In the future, we will also offer some other help, such as helping to build schools, hospitals, and supermarkets, training the villagers and hiring them and so on.”

As soon as he said that, Zhang Shugen and Old Yang were overjoyed. They immediately agreed to such a generous offer.

Everything was settled.

Fang Qiu directly called He Xue.

“Hello?”

The phone was answered.

“I rented a mountain and the contract has been made. I have asked Zhu Benzheng to send you the details of the contract. Take a look at the contract, prepare to transfer the money, and send some people over,” Fang Qiu said.

“Why are you renting a mountain? You always have something to attend to as soon as you step out of the house. I wonder where all these things come from,” said He Xue in confusion and gloom.

“Because I’ve discovered a medicinal herb on this mountain that was as precious and effective as the Snow Lotus,” Fang Qiu said. “If we rent this mountain to grow herbs, our company can develop more drugs.”

Hearing that, He Xue immediately became excited and said, “Really? I’ll make the arrangements right away. I’ll definitely get this done as soon as possible! Hurry up and rent the mountain!”

After that, she hung up the phone.

Fang Qiu was speechless.

Sure enough, only money could make her excited.

He Xue had already begun to transfer the money and send people over while Zhang Shugen specially cleaned up a room for Fang Qiu and the others to rest.

Zhao Shanlin took Zhu Benzheng and the other two to the mountain and stayed there all day long to study how to grow dendrobe.

Fang Qiu also went up the mountain to observe the whole mountain and the surrounding terrain. He found that with the mountain as the center, the area within five kilometers around was very strange. As long as he made a slight change to it, he could directly make it into an advantageous terrain.

In Leprosy Village, Old Yang also officially began to give classes to the children in the village.

The village, which was lifeless a few days ago, finally regained a lot of vitality with the arrival of Fang Qiu and others. Even the people in nearby villages often came here.

A day later, the expedition team sent by He Xue officially entered the mountain to conduct the investigation and preparations before the start of the construction.

In the past few days, Fang Qiu went to the surrounding villages to look around.

Every time he arrived at a mountain village, he could clearly see how poor this place was.

He saw broken brick houses and even shabby clay houses. Many houses he saw were wide, but there was nothing in the room except for a window and a bonfire.

He saw that the children here were all dressed in ragged clothes, which were too big for them.

He saw there were only one or two kinds of medicines that could cure colds and fevers in the small clinic in the village. There were no other medicines.

He saw that these villagers actually did not have spare time or hobbies, which only a rich man could have.

As for those poor people, the only thing they had and could use to exchange for money was physical strength!
