Chapter 273: The Future Vision Of Jiang’s Delicious Claypot!
At that time, when I received the phone call from Jiang Tao.
Tian Jianhui really didn’t expect him to bring him such a big surprise.
“Manager Jiang, the nature of that land is farmland, and the longest contract period is 30 years.”
“But after the expiration, if you want to continue contracting, it can be automatically renewed for another 30 years.”
“At the same price, you have priority.”
After the surprise, Tian Jianhui hurriedly explained the nature of the “designated land” and the maximum contract period to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao said in a calm tone, “If I rent it for 30 years, what’s the lowest price I can get?”
“This…”
Tian Jianhui and the others hadn’t considered this situation before, and couldn’t answer Jiang Tao’s question immediately.
Tian Jianhui looked at Jiang Tao and said:
“Manager Jiang, why don’t you go to my office first, I’ll make you some tea, and you can wait a moment.”
“Regarding the price, I and a few others still need to discuss and research it carefully, and strive to give you a satisfactory price!”
“Okay.”
Jiang Tao was determined to get that piece of land today. Spending a little more time to save money was very worthwhile.
Although that piece of land was a “money-making place” worth a fortune to him, no matter how expensive, he wouldn’t find it too expensive.
But he still wanted to strive for the lowest price.
If you don’t take advantage of a good deal, you’re a fool!
“Manager Jiang, please, I’ll take you there!”
Tian Jianhui said, standing up and making a gesture of invitation to Jiang Tao.
The two left the conference room together. After Tian Jianhui took Jiang Tao to his office, he boiled water, made tea, and offered cigarettes, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
After hosting Jiang Tao, Tian Jianhui returned to the conference room and engaged in a lively discussion about the price of the “designated land.”
The village cadres discussed for over twenty minutes and finally reached a consensus on the price.
630 yuan per mu per year!
This was equivalent to giving Jiang Tao a 37% discount, and the price was very sincere.
“Manager Jiang, do you find this price satisfactory?”
After Tian Jianhui brought Jiang Tao back to the conference room again, he told him the price after everyone’s discussion.
Liu Jiafu, Zhang Zengxi, and several other village cadres held their breath, not daring to exhale, and looked at Jiang Tao, waiting for his answer.
If this deal goes through, the village can receive over 1.9 million, nearly 2 million yuan in rent from Jiang Tao!
This sum of money is definitely a huge amount for the Xiao Shahe Village Committee!
With this money in the account, the Xiao Shahe Village can do many things for a long time to come!
“Yes! Let’s go with this price. I’ll rent that land for 30 years. Director Tian, please see when it’s convenient to sign the contract.”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s affirmative reply, the village committee members were overjoyed and relieved!
“We are available anytime! Today is very convenient!!!”
Tian Jianhui was also a bit excited. This was the first major event he had handled for the village since he took office, and it was so successful!
If this matter can be implemented, the old cadres of the village committee will also look at him with new eyes!
The land on the east side of the village had been vacant and abandoned for over ten years, and no village director had been able to find a client willing to rent it.
This year, during his term, he managed to rent out that land and receive nearly 2 million yuan!
He had achieved what others couldn’t, which would greatly enhance his prestige among the villagers!
Village Accountant Liu Jiafu also said happily:
“Yes! We are all available. Manager Jiang, if you have time today, let’s sign today, and I’ll go prepare the contract right away!”
Due to its geographical location, Xiao Shahe Village did not have much industry or enterprises.
There were also very few ways for the village collective to generate profit.
If Jiang Tao were to truly lease that land, the revenue it brought to Xiao Shahe would be equivalent to several years of the village’s revenue.
It was no wonder that the village committee members were actively promoting this matter.
“Then let’s sign today.”
In fact, Jiang Tao was more anxious than Tian Jianhui and the others, but he appeared very calm.
Tian Jianhui looked at Liu Jiafu and said, “Accountant Liu, go and prepare the contract.”
“Okay!”
Liu Jiafu was now willing to be directed by Tian Jianhui and quickly returned to his office to prepare the contract.
It took less than 10 minutes.
Liu Jiafu returned to the conference room with several template contracts for land leasing, and Tian Jianhui had also prepared the village seal.
Jiang Tao read the contract, felt there were no issues, and both parties signed and stamped it.
The contract officially took effect!
According to the contract, Jiang Tao needed to pay Xiao Shahe Village a lump sum of 1,946,700 within three months of signing the contract.
Jiang Tao did not delay and transferred the money to Liu Jiafu immediately after signing the contract.
This move further earned the goodwill of the village committee members.
At noon, Tian Jianhui and the others treated Jiang Tao to dinner at Pang Ge Barbecue, where they had gone yesterday, and also invited Lu Qian.
They all drank and talked, and it seemed as if their friendship had deepened.
The meal, which started around 12 PM, didn’t end until past 2 PM.
Tian Jianhui and the others’ alcohol tolerance was naturally far inferior to Jiang Tao, whose physique was already over 130+.
When they went out, they were all stumbling and couldn’t even walk in a straight line.
Jiang Tao, on the other hand, seemed unaffected.
Apart from the strong smell of alcohol when he breathed, there was no indication that he had been drinking.
However, even so, his condition was not suitable for driving.
At this moment, the role of the driver became apparent.
Jiang Tao made a phone call to Jia Guilin to come to Xiao Shahe to act as his designated driver.
“Manager Jiang!”
Jia Guilin stopped in front of Jiang Tao and greeted him respectfully.
“Old Jia, have you completed all the onboarding procedures?”
Jiang Tao also greeted Jia Guilin with a smile, changing his address from “Master Jia” to “Old Jia.”
“It’s done, thank you, Manager Jiang, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly in the future!”
Jia Guilin’s eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Jiang Tao.
The treatment Jiang Tao offered him was almost twice that of his peers!
Last night, when Jia Guilin told his wife about it at home, she couldn’t believe him and thought he had met a scammer.
Honestly speaking, Jia Guilin hadn’t slept well the previous night, his mind constantly thinking about Jiang Tao poaching him.
Why was this person giving him such a high salary?
What could he bring to this person?
Honestly, the more Jia Guilin thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, believing that the salary Jiang Tao offered him was outrageously high and made no sense.
It wasn’t until this morning, when Jia Guilin went to the Walden Lake Villa Area at the address Jiang Tao provided, that he saw the company’s office space and scale.
It wasn’t until Jiang Jiaqi completed his onboarding procedures for him that he dared to believe he had truly struck it lucky and met his benefactor!
Yes!
At this moment, in Jia Guilin’s eyes, Jiang Tao was not only his boss.
He was also his benefactor!
He was his Bole!
“Stick with me, and you won’t be treated unfairly. Let’s go, to the Century Golden Resources Hotel.”
Jiang Tao patted Old Jia on the shoulder, stated an address, opened the rear car door, and sat in the back seat to rest with his eyes closed.
Jia Guilin didn’t say much. After getting into the car, he drove directly to the Century Golden Resources Hotel near Century City.
In 49 minutes, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove into the parking lot of the Century Golden Resources Hotel.
Jiang Tao gave Jia Guilin 500 yuan and told him to find a coffee shop to have a coffee.
He then took the elevator in the accommodation section upstairs.
Ding~
When the elevator opened on the 20th floor, Jiang Tao stepped out and walked down the hallway to the door of room 2012.
Ding dong~
Click!
Almost the moment Jiang Tao rang the doorbell, the door opened a crack.
A slender figure exerted great strength and pulled him into the room.
Bang!
Click!
The room door closed and locked again.
Jiang Tao felt his lips warm, already kissed by a passionate, hot red lip.
Immediately, a soft body pressed against him.
The curtains in the room were drawn and had excellent light-blocking effects.
Although it was still afternoon outside and bright daylight, the room was as dark as night, creating a highly atmospheric setting.
One piece of clothing after another fell off, extending from the doorway to the large bed in the center of the room.
Soon, soft murmurs of Yuan Mengqi’s heavy breathing filled the room.
59 minutes later…
Yuan Mengqi, with a flushed face, lay in Jiang Tao’s arms, her slender, fair fingers drawing circles on his firm chest muscles.
They whispered intimately for over ten minutes before going to the bathroom to shower.
What normally would have taken just over ten minutes to complete, they spent nearly an hour showering.
By the time they finished, Yuan Mengqi had no strength left to walk and was carried out of the bathroom by Jiang Tao.
They rested on the large bed in the room for another hour.
Then, they took the elevator downstairs together to check out.
Jiang Tao entered the Century Hotel around 4 or 5 PM.
When he came out, it was already evening, with the sun setting.
Originally, Jiang Tao had planned to treat Yuan Mengqi’s mother and her younger brother and sister-in-law to dinner at the Century Hotel.
But Yuan Mengqi said her mother and brother had already prepared dinner at home.
Tonight was the first time they were cooking after moving into their new home, which was very commemorative.
After checking out, Jiang Tao took Yuan Mengqi into his car and had Jia Guilin drive them downstairs.
“Old Jia, find a place to eat dinner yourself. I’ll call you in advance when we leave.”
As Jiang Tao got out of the car, he casually handed Jia Guilin another 500 yuan for food.
“Thank you, boss! I am at your service anytime!”
Jia Guilin didn’t stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao, took the “meal money” he was given, and thanked Jiang Tao with a grateful expression.
In just half a day today, Jiang Tao had given Jia Guilin 1000 yuan in tips alone!
At this moment, Jia Guilin felt he had followed the right boss in Jiang Tao!
“Let’s go.”
After dismissing Old Jia, Jiang Tao, with Yuan Mengqi, who could barely walk, in his arm, entered the building and took the elevator upstairs.
Ding~
The elevator opened on the 20th floor.
Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi walked out of the elevator together and arrived at the door of room 2001, ringing the doorbell.
Ding dong~
“Coming, coming.”
The moment Jiang Tao rang the doorbell, Yuan Mengqi’s mother, Zhao Huilan’s voice came from inside.
Soon, the door opened, and Zhao Huilan, with a smiling face, appeared at the entrance.
“Qi Qi, Xiao Jiang, you’re back, come in, come in quickly.”
Seeing her daughter and Jiang Tao at the door, Zhao Huilan enthusiastically welcomed them in, while her eyes burned with intense curiosity!
Zhao Huilan was also an experienced woman. The first glance she got of her daughter when the door opened, seeing her affectionate eyes, she knew what they had been doing.
“Good evening, Aunt Zhao.”
Jiang Tao greeted Zhao Huilan with a smile and stepped inside.
“Good, good, good. Thanks to you, Xiao Jiang, everything is going well for our family now. Harmony brings prosperity.”
Zhao Huilan closed the door while saying with a smile to Jiang Tao.
After arriving in Beijing and changing her environment, Zhao Huilan seemed like a different person.
Not only did her complexion appear much improved, but her mindset also underwent a great change, becoming much more optimistic and cheerful.
Her current life was a life she wouldn’t have dared to dream of, and it was a life she loved.
She was also grateful to Jiang Tao, knowing that all of this was the change Jiang Tao had brought to their family.
“Brother Jiang, you’re here! Chat with my sister and mom for a bit, dinner will be ready in about ten minutes.”
Yuan Mengjie, busy in the kitchen, heard the movement outside and came out to greet Jiang Tao.
“Good evening, Brother Jiang.”
Lin Ranran also respectfully greeted Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “You two have worked hard, eat plenty later.”
Yuan Mengjie scratched his head and chuckled, “It’s not hard at all. Brother Jiang, I tried a few new dishes today, let you try them first!”
Jiang Tao laughed and said, “Okay, then I’ll look forward to the skill of the head chef of our Jiang’s Delicious Claypot.”
“You just watch! Then I, oh dear! My soup!!”
Yuan Mengjie hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly heard sizzling sounds coming from the kitchen.
He turned his head and saw that the soup he was stewing had boiled over the pot. He exclaimed and rushed back into the kitchen!
“Brother Jiang, you guys chat slowly, I’ll go help Brother Jie.”
After Lin Ranran said hello to Jiang Tao, she also turned and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Jiang Tao, Yuan Mengqi, and Zhao Huilan came together to the large coffee table in the living room and sat down to start an idle chat.
The topic of conversation basically revolved around Jiang’s Delicious Claypot.
Yesterday, the siblings Yuan Mengqi and Yuan Mengjie, as Jiang Tao had instructed, went and took over the shop outside the residential area that was being transferred.
The shop was two stories, with a total area of about 300 square meters, a moderate size.
It was barely adequate for operating a restaurant specializing in clay pots.
The rent, naturally, wouldn’t be cheap, costing 720,000 a year!
The rent for one year could almost buy a house of over 100 square meters outright in their hometown of Ping County!
The contract was signed yesterday, and the rent was paid. Yuan Mengqi was still feeling heartbroken about it.
If not for Jiang Tao’s strong support from behind, the rent of over 700,000 alone would have dissuaded the Yuan siblings.
“Brother Tao, renting such an expensive shop right from the start, I don’t have any confidence at all.”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with a pained expression, not knowing where his strong confidence came from.
“Don’t worry, I believe in my own judgment, and I also believe in your and Xiao Jie’s management ability.”
“Our first store will definitely succeed, and in the future, there will be a second, a third, and a tenth store opening.”
“In the near future, I want to open our Jiang’s Delicious Claypot all over the Capital City, and all over the country.”
The way Jiang Tao confidently painted a picture of the future, in Yuan Mengqi’s eyes, was incredibly handsome!
