Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 980 Xu Zhiming Goes Ashore

Zhao Lei also noticed that Chen Lan was a little uncomfortable on the pier, so he invited Xu Zhiming to a nearby restaurant and talked in detail while having dinner.

Just when Zhao Lei mentioned the trial planting area, Xu Zhiming immediately nodded and said, "Oh, you're talking about the field at Qianwei Farm in the north, I've heard about it too, it seems to be quite a big deal!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiming really knew about this matter, Zhao Lei couldn't help being a little surprised, and hurriedly urged: "Tell me quickly, what kind of trouble is that land in?"

"My wife's natal family is in Qianwei Farm, so I've heard about it." Of course, Xu Zhiming would not hide anything from Zhao Lei, and told him: "The land has been deserted for a long time, and it stands to reason that the village can dispose of it casually." .But the news that someone wanted to rent that piece of land got out somehow, and a few locals came up with the idea of ​​that piece of land, built a few shacks in the field first, and planted a crop of watermelons.”

Zhao Lei understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a sneer: "So...they are planning to ask for more compensation? I don't understand, but the local government took over this land. How could these people have the guts to do this?"

Xu Zhiming smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it is not ordinary people who dare to do this. In fact, those few people are all well-known local gangsters and hob meat. None of them is reasonable. Usually, even the cadres have a headache when they see these people. No one in the local area dares to do this." provoke them."

Hearing what Xu Zhiming said, Zhao Lei finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.It turned out that the reason for the delay in the handover of the trial planting area was that a few local gangsters wanted to get some compensation.

In fact, Zhao Lei can go to Wu Mingyu and let the city put pressure on the local area to complete the land acquisition as soon as possible.However, the trial planting area was only seven or eight acres of land, Zhao Lei really didn't want to go to Wu Mingyu for such a trivial matter, it would be too much trouble for him.

So after thinking for a while, Zhao Lei quickly said to Xu Zhiming: "Old Xu, do you know the details of those people? Can you tell me where I can find them?"

Xu Zhiming was taken aback and said: "Boss Zhao, why are you looking for these people, they are not reasonable at all, if, if..."

Speaking of which, Xu Zhiming glanced at Chen Lan subconsciously, and stopped talking hesitantly.

Although Zhao Lei noticed Xu Zhiming's abnormality, the most important thing right now is to get that piece of land as soon as possible, so he told him with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, old Xu, I actually want that piece of land. Trouble, I plan to talk to those people directly and see if the problem can be resolved as soon as possible."

"It turns out to be like this!" Xu Zhiming suddenly realized, but he frowned quickly and said, "Those people are really difficult to deal with. If you ask me, you'd better give up that piece of land and find another place. Anyway, that piece of land It’s not that bad, it’s been deserted for a long time.”

In fact, Xu Zhiming's suggestion is also a safe method, but it will take more time to re-select the site and negotiate with the local area, and Zhao Lei really can't afford to wait.

So Zhao Lei still insisted on his original plan, Shen Sheng said to Xu Zhiming: "I have already made up my mind, you just need to tell me where I can find those people."

Knowing that Zhao Lei has always been a very assertive person, Xu Zhiming stopped persuading him, pondered for a moment and said: "A few days ago, I heard from my brother-in-law that recently that group of people lived in the shed they built to negotiate conditions with the government. Well, you're sure to find them there!"

Zhao Lei nodded, and then asked Xu Zhiming: "Old Xu, I think fishing is getting more and more difficult now, and I can't make much money. When I take that piece of land, are you interested in helping me manage it? Salary is paid every month, and the income is guaranteed to be no lower than your fishing!"

Xu Zhiming said in surprise: "Boss Zhao, what you said is true?"

"I won't joke about this kind of thing." Zhao Lei said seriously: "I rented that land to try to grow rice. If you think it can be done, this matter can be settled now."

Xu Zhiming nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, my father-in-law's family used to be grain farmers, so it's no problem to plant a few acres of land!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Then this matter is settled like this. After I take the land, you will be in charge of managing it. In addition to you, I will give you another four to five employment places, which will be distributed uniformly. pay them."

The reason why Zhao Lei made such a decision was firstly because he believed in Xu Zhiming, who could help him manage the trial planting area; secondly, because Xu Zhiming was a local, letting him take charge of the trial planting area would save a lot of trouble.

But for Xu Zhiming, this is simply a blessing in disguise.Not only can he have a very good income, but he can also arrange jobs for his father-in-law's family. It couldn't be better.

So Xu Zhiming's attitude immediately became positive, and he asked Zhao Lei in a low voice: "Boss Zhao, do you want me to talk to those people with the old man's family first, and see if we can persuade them to leave voluntarily?"

Zhao Lei did not accept Xu Zhiming's suggestion. After all, he had already said that those people were difficult to deal with, and there was no reason for Xu Zhiming's family to take risks. This was not in line with Zhao Lei's principles of life.

After coming out of the hotel, Zhao Lei whispered to Chen Lan: "Recently you have been running around with me, you must be a little tired. Stay in the hotel tomorrow and have a good rest. I will talk to those local snakes and persuade them Get off that field."

However, Chen Lan, who has always been gentle, did not listen to Zhao Lei's arrangement this time, and gently took his arm and said, "I want to go with you tomorrow!"

Zhao Lei frowned and said, "Isn't this convenient?"

Chen Landao: "I know you didn't let me go because of what Xu Zhiming said, right? But I really want to deal with this matter with you, and..."

Speaking of this, Chen Lan smiled at Zhao Lei and said, "And I believe that no matter what happens, you will protect me, right?"

What Chen Lan said was true. Xu Zhiming hesitated to speak when he saw her in the restaurant, which made Zhao Lei know that those people would be very presumptuous when they saw a beautiful woman, so he didn't want to let the pretty widow go with him.

However, it is rare for Chen Lan to have her own persistence, and Zhao Lei couldn't bear to refuse her, and quickly smiled at Wei Wei: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!!"

Chen Lan gave Zhao Lei a gentle smile, and said nothing.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei and Chen Lan set off together for the piece of land they had set their eyes on before.Compared with the two trial planting areas in Xinwu City, this place is very remote, surrounded by watermelon fields, and it is indeed not a suitable place for growing rice.

Zhao Lei came to that land based on his memory and found that it was different from before.
