Chapter 272: Leasing Land, Maximizing The Lease Term!
Swish!
Just as Jiang Tao was about to close the system interface and go to sleep.
The system interface suddenly popped up a new task prompt.
【 Congratulations on triggering the special mission 『 Jiang Xue’s Wishlist! 』】
【 Task Name 】: Jiang Xue’s Wish 1
【 Task Description 】: Go to school with your best friend Jiang An’an, play games together after school, and spend a happy childhood together.
【 Task Reward 】: Upon completion, you will receive a cash reward of 1 million, 5 points in physique, 5 points in charm, 5 points in health, and +3 inventory slots!
“Xiao Xue’s Wishlist?”
Seeing the task description and the generous rewards, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up!
Completing this task wouldn’t be difficult for him.
Jiang Xue wanted to go to school with Jiang An’an, so he could simply transfer Jiang An’an to Eddie International and put her in Jiang Xue’s class!
As long as he was willing to spend money, this matter was quite simple.
As for the tuition fee of over 100,000 per semester at Eddie International.
When they first sent Jiang Xue there, Jiang Tao and Xu Li felt a bit pained.
But today, over 100,000 was nothing to Jiang Tao.
His daily income after doubling through 【 Monopoly Investment 】 was already more than that.
Moreover, completing the task could yield generous rewards.
The 1 million cash reward alone would be enough for Jiang Tao to handle Jiang An’an’s school transfer!
Of course, Jiang Tao had no problem on his end, and he was willing to spend money.
But he still had to respect the opinions of the people involved.
“I’ll discuss it with Jiang An’an and Jiang Hai tomorrow when I have time. This task shouldn’t be difficult to complete.”
“It’s getting late, time to sleep.”
After refreshing three pieces of intelligence and unexpectedly receiving a special mission with a generous reward.
Jiang Tao’s mood was incredibly pleasant, and he was even a little excited.
Normally, if the brain nerves were too active before sleep, it would be detrimental to sleep.
But with the 【 Insomnia Terminator 】 as a “cheat device.”
Jiang Tao’s entire family could enjoy extremely high-quality sleep.
The effect of sufficient high-quality sleep was also very significant for a person’s physical health and even mental health improvement.
At this moment, the friends and relatives around Jiang Tao who used the 【 Insomnia Terminator 】 could all feel the changes this “high-tech” item had brought them.
Jiang Tao, Xu Li, his father and mother, his third sister, his mother-in-law’s family, and Bai Yulan’s family, Du Ennan’s family.
Everyone was a beneficiary of the 【 Insomnia Terminator 】.
Jiang Tao fell asleep within 3 minutes of lying down on his pillow.
He slept until past 7 in the morning and got up when Xu Li called him for breakfast.
Although the family’s financial situation was much better now than before.
Jiang Tao’s family’s breakfast was not much different from before.
Breakfast was still simple millet pumpkin porridge with his mother’s special savory pies.
Accompanied by a plate of Eight Treasure Pickles produced by their own food factory.
After breakfast, his father and mother went downstairs together to drive to Jiang’s Food Factory.
Xu Li put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher in the kitchen, then began cleaning and doing housework.
Later, she would also do laundry and practice yoga for over an hour following the tutorial on her mobile phone.
Although Xu Li didn’t have to go to work, her day was meticulously planned.
What might seem like a monotonous life to outsiders was, for her, her ideal life.
She really enjoyed this relaxed and comfortable state of life, and she also reveled in this carefree existence.
“Goodbye, husband~”
After Xu Li sent Jiang Tao to the door, she tidied his collar and finally gave him a parting kiss.
“Oh, right, wife, I sold some things to Zhang Bo yesterday.”
“After tax, it was a little over 1.8 million. It’s all in this card.”
“This afternoon, take your mother and Sasha shopping, don’t hold back, spend as much as you want.”
“The password is your birthday.”
As Jiang Tao spoke, he took out his card holder from his pocket and handed a bank card to Xu Li.
“1.8 million!”
“Husband, you’re amazing!”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li’s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration for him.
This kind of admiration had actually happened when Jiang Tao earned over 10,000 in a month while driving a truck.
Xu Li’s demands on Jiang Tao were always very low, or rather, she had no demands at all.
When he was lucky and earned a lot, she would praise him for being capable and always find ways to help him release the pressure from work and life when he returned home.
When he was unlucky and earned less, she would encourage him not to be discouraged, assuring him that as long as he worked hard, life would get better day by day.
“This is just the beginning! Here’s your pocket money.”
Jiang Tao smiled, patted Xu Li’s head, and looked at her silly and sweet demeanor. Although he felt a little guilty, he had no regrets.
“Hehe, then this afternoon I’ll buy a bag for my mom and your mom.”
“And buy some good tea for your dad and my dad.”
“Then buy a few new outfits for you and Xiao Xue, and also buy two outfits for Sasha.”
Xu Li smiled sweetly and told Jiang Tao her shopping plans.
Jiang Tao was a bit speechless when he heard that Xu Li was only thinking of others.
“Silly wife, don’t forget to buy something for yourself. I told you to go shopping mainly for yourself.”
“Okay, okay, I know. I definitely won’t mistreat myself~”
“I also need to finish the household chores this morning.”
“If you have anything to do, hurry up and go. Go quickly.”
“Mwah~ Husband, keep up the good work~”
Xu Li chuckled and gave Jiang Tao another kiss before pushing him out the door.
After taking the elevator downstairs, Jiang Tao drove directly towards the Xiao Shahe Urban Village.
He had an appointment with Tian Jianhui at 9:30 AM at the Xiao Shahe Village Committee.
…
At the same time.
Xiao Shahe Village Committee Office.
Tian Jianhui was discussing the issue of the 100 mu of barren land east of the village with several village cadres.
“How about we lower the price again this year? That land has been contracted out for seven or eight years and still hasn’t been leased out.”
The village accountant, Liu Jiafu, said while smoking, offering his suggestion to Tian Jianhui.
“Sigh! That land isn’t a matter of lowering the price. The main problem is the land’s nature and its awkward location.”
“That land can only be used for agricultural planting, but it was previously forest land, and the cost of transformation is too high.”
“If they want to do agriculture, they might as well go directly to Bei Qi Jia. There are plenty of idle greenhouses there, ready to be used.”
“Who says not? I reckon that land wouldn’t be welcomed even if it were given away for free.”
Several village cadres of the Village Committee were discussing the issue of the approximately 100 mu of idle barren land east of the village, but they couldn’t come up with a solution.
It is said that in the capital city, every inch of land is precious, but it depends on the location.
For urban villages like Xiao Shahe, located outside the Sixth Ring Road, there are plenty of surrounding barren and idle lands.
Nowadays, a month’s salary from working a job is better than a year of farming.
There are very few young people in rural areas willing to farm, let alone residents in big cities like the capital.
Creak~
As everyone was discussing heatedly, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Tian Jianhui entered.
“Director Tian has arrived.”
“Good morning, Director Tian.”
“Director Tian.”
The village cadres who were discussing saw Tian Jianhui entering. Although they greeted him politely on the surface,
they actually had many grievances and were unconvinced by the newly appointed village director this year.
Except for Tian Jianhui, all the village cadres present had been serving the village for more than a decade, or even longer.
Tian Jianhui was the only newcomer who had been “airdropped” in.
The Village Committee cadres usually didn’t invite Tian Jianhui to their private gatherings, but he was always the center of discussion at every gathering.
Tian Jianhui was aware of this situation and wanted to prove himself by achieving some results quickly, but he had too few opportunities!
However, there was an opportunity right in front of him!
Tian Jianhui never dreamed that a buddy he had just met yesterday would be of such great help to him today!
Through this matter, Tian Jianhui gained a deeper understanding of the saying, “The more friends you have, the easier the road.”
“Director Tian, the rental situation in the eastern part of the village this year is still not optimistic.”
After exchanging greetings, the village accountant Liu Jiafu looked at Tian Jianhui and said,
“It’s been exactly one month since the rental notice was issued, and there hasn’t been a single inquiry.”
The others looked at Tian Jianhui with a hint of anticipation, waiting to see what would happen.
Let this hot potato be handled by him, the village director!
“I happen to have one. He’s already on his way.”
As Tian Jianhui spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat in his usual seat.
Everyone was slightly taken aback by Tian Jianhui’s words but didn’t hold out much hope.
Some even thought that Tian Jianhui had found a friend to go through the motions just to save face.
It would be normal for the negotiation to fall through due to price disagreements after a long talk.
Ring ring ring—
As soon as Tian Jianhui finished speaking, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw the caller ID was “Young Brother Jiang.”
“Speak of the devil, the client I invited has arrived.”
Tian Jianhui stood up from his seat and swiped to answer Jiang Tao’s call.
“Hello, General Manager Jiang, are you already at our compound?”
“Okay, I see your car. I’m in the office and will come out immediately to welcome your esteemed presence.”
As Tian Jianhui spoke, he turned and walked back to the door, then pushed it open and went out.
The other members of the Village Committee heard that the guest Tian Jianhui had invited had arrived, so they followed Tian Jianhui out, wanting to see what was happening.
As they walked out of the conference room, they saw a majestic Mercedes-Benz G-Class driving into the compound from the entrance.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked in a vacant parking space. A handsome and tall young man got out of the car.
He was wearing a seemingly ordinary and simple gray solid-color shirt.
However, those who knew their stuff could recognize from its color, details, fabric, and craftsmanship that this shirt was a new arrival from Zegna.
This ordinary-looking shirt retailed for a staggering 25,900!
He wore pure white pants, giving him a clean and refreshing appearance.
These pants were also a new arrival from Zegna, retailing for 28,800!
On his feet were a pair of brand-name off-white suede TRIPLE STITCH luxury casual shoes.
These shoes also looked ordinary, but Xu Li spent over 9,600 yuan on them!
Jiang Tao’s entire outfit today cost over 60,000 yuan!
Xu Li was truly generous when buying things for Jiang Tao!
As the saying goes, clothes make the man.
Although Tian Jianhui and the others didn’t understand luxury goods or Zegna,
Jiang Tao’s attire alone indicated that his status was definitely not ordinary.
Of course, their main basis was the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that Jiang Tao drove.
A boss who could afford a Mercedes-Benz G-Class was definitely not an unknown figure.
“General Manager Jiang has arrived! Please forgive our lack of proper welcome, please forgive our lack of proper welcome!”
Tian Jianhui walked up to Jiang Tao, greeting him enthusiastically and expressing his welcome.
The other members of the Village Committee, the moment they saw Jiang Tao, or rather, the moment they saw his Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Hope suddenly ignited in their hearts.
They also hoped that Jiang Tao would contract the barren land east of the village.
Even if only for one term, three years, it could bring some increase in income to the village.
“Director Tian, you’re too kind.”
Jiang Tao also smiled, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
“Let me introduce you, General Manager Jiang. These are cadres who have served the construction and development of our Xiao Shahe for many years.”
“This is our village accountant Liu Jiafu, this is the Party branch secretary Zhang Zengxi, this is…”
“And this is Jiang Tao, General Manager Jiang, whom I just mentioned to you.”
Tian Jianhui introduced Jiang Tao and the village cadres to each other.
After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, they all returned to the conference room together.
After a brief chat, Tian Jianhui briefly introduced Jiang Tao to the “designated land” east of Xiao Shahe Village.
The total area was 103 mu, with a rent of 1000 yuan per mu per year.
It could be leased as a whole or according to one’s needs, with a minimum lease term of 5 years.
As Jiang Tao listened to Tian Jianhui’s introduction, he quietly calculated.
Taking all 103 mu would only cost a little over 100,000 yuan in rent per year.
In a place like the capital, renting over a hundred mu of land for 100,000 yuan was very cost-effective!
“Regarding the price, General Manager Jiang, if you have any dissatisfaction, we can discuss it further.”
Before Jiang Tao could bargain, Tian Jianhui proactively cut his own profit, showing that they truly wanted to lease out this piece of land.
Jiang Tao looked at Tian Jianhui and asked,
“Director Tian, if I lease this land entirely, how much discount can I get on the rent?”
Tian Jianhui’s face lit up when he heard Jiang Tao’s question, and he said,
“If General Manager Jiang leases it all, the price can be as low as… 800 yuan per mu per year!”
In the conference room, the others looked at Jiang Tao with eager eyes.
That land was worthless barren land if it couldn’t be rented out.
It only had value when it was rented out and rent was received.
Even if the price was discounted to 800 yuan/mu per year.
It could still bring in about 400,000 yuan in rent for one term!
“What is the longest possible lease term? Can there be any further discounts?”
Jiang Tao was determined to acquire these 100 mu of “money-making land” this time.
Furthermore, to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future, he decided to extend the lease term to the maximum duration at once.
“The longest?”
Tian Jianhui and the others were initially stunned by Jiang Tao’s words. Once they understood what he meant, their hearts were filled with joy!
Today, they had met a big boss!
