The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

There are results!

Xie Chengzhi immediately got up and opened the door.

This time, the person who followed Wang Zhenchuan was no longer Zheng Linjiang, but a tall man in his forties.

Wang Zhenchuan introduced: "This is Comrade Cheng Tianning, the office director of our Taipingzhuang Commune."

Xie Chengzhi immediately shook hands with Cheng Tianning: "Hello, Director Cheng." He led the two in and said with a smile, "You two came at the right time. All the educated youth who were admitted to the capital together with us are here today." There were too many people, so he did not introduce them one by one, and only introduced Zhu Xiaomin.

Xing Qingsheng and his friends vacated the seats outside and invited the two to sit down. Zhu Xiaomin opened her mouth and asked directly, "Are you two here to discuss the land purchase? It just so happens that we are all here, so we can listen."

Wang Zhenchuan looked at Cheng Tianning and saw him nod, so he said, "Our commune has studied it and found that those wastelands can be bought and sold, but there is a dispute over the quantity."

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "Is ten acres too much? A smaller one will do."

"No, no!" Cheng Tianning waved his hand. "Don't even mention our Taipingzhuang Commune. Even the Xitucheng Brigade includes three villages. If we sell some of them and don't sell some of them, I'm afraid the members will have opinions."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "In such a large commune, there must be more than a dozen production teams. We can't buy one piece for each production team."

Cheng Tianning glanced at the large group of educated youth in front of him and tried to ask: "You said before that you would recruit people from the brigade? Are you only recruiting people from the Xitucheng Brigade?"

Among the more than 30 people in front of me, there are only two women, and the rest are strong laborers. It is not difficult to build a warehouse. It seems that they can do it by themselves.

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Wang Zhenchuan and said, "We originally thought that we would cooperate with the brigade from which we bought the land, and the brigade would arrange the manpower."

This was actually said last time. Wang Zhenchuan did not tell the people in the commune. Obviously, he still hoped that the money would be earned by the people in his own team.

Wang Zhenchuan heard her talk about the matter, but she didn't mention it before. He felt a little relieved, but also a little embarrassed. When he saw Cheng Tianning looking over, he nodded quickly and said, "We can discuss this matter."

Cheng Tianning nodded, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "In the past two days, we have also checked previous cases. Some of the land was allocated by the government, and some was occupied by factories. Although it was the price Comrade Zhu and Comrade Xie mentioned, they wanted to use much more land."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Our food factory is just a township-run enterprise. What we want to do here is just a distribution point. Naturally, we can't compare with the big factories in Beijing."

Cheng Tianning asked: "Comrade Zhu, do you have any goals in mind?"

This time, Zhu Xiaomin was naturally unambiguous and pointed to the south outside the door: "The majority of our students are from Peking University, so what I want most is the wasteland over there, which is also convenient for people to pass through."

The people from Kyoto University nodded immediately.

Song Zhian opened his mouth and wanted to say that Tsinghua University was also fine, but after looking at Zhu Xiaomin, he didn't interrupt.

Cheng Tianning thought for a moment, then glanced at Wang Zhenchuan and tried to say, "That's right next to Lianhua Village. What we're doing here can be seen from over there. Can we buy ten acres from one village?"

what?

Not only other people, even Zhu Xiaomin was a little surprised: "Director Cheng means that Wangjia Village and Lianhua Village will each have ten acres?"

Cheng Tianning smiled bitterly: "If it was far away, it would be fine. Now we are right next to each other, so that the Lianhua Village won't accuse us of favoring one over the other."

Wang Zhenchuan was a little anxious: "Buy ten more acres of land. It will cost a lot of money to build a warehouse."

Although the two villages are adjacent to each other, they belong to different brigades.

Cheng Tianning said to Zhu Xiaomin, "Adding these plots of land will bring more pressure, but you said we should hire people from where the land is bought. We can wait for the wages and settle them by the end of the year. Is that okay?"

Success, it’s successful!

Zhu Xiaomin had already quickly calculated the account in her mind and nodded slightly: "I understand what Director Cheng meant, but Director Cheng said that if we buy twice as much land, it will be difficult to finance it. I wonder if the price can be negotiated?"

Wang Zhenchuan was even more anxious: "But most of the ones we checked were 45, it can't be any lower, right?"

Cheng Tianning asked, "Is forty-five not okay?"

Forty-five dollars per acre, twenty acres means nine hundred dollars. There were more than thirty educated youths, and each of them got one hundred dollars, which was more than three thousand dollars, which was totally affordable.

Almost all eyes were on Zhu Xiaomin.

Just don't be too quick in bargaining, as it may make the other party feel at a disadvantage.

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at everyone, using her eyes to stop everyone from interrupting, and first introduced the personnel structure of her side.

Although they are all city dwellers, they have been working in the countryside for many years and are now only students. It is not easy for them to raise funds. The original plan to buy ten acres of land was doubled, and the final price was still set at forty-five, but with an additional condition that the two villages had to provide people and materials to enclose the land.

This enclosure is not built with a solid wall, but just a fence made of some waste materials. It is not a difficult task for the villagers. Cheng Tianning and Wang Zhenchuan readily agreed, and they were secretly happy in their hearts: after all, they are scholars, not very shrewd, and do not know how to bargain.

For the educated youth, twenty acres of land was not small. Although they were all strong laborers, they were not locals after all. It was not easy to find so many waste materials. The labor and materials would cost at least dozens of dollars. It was more convenient to hand it over to the village.

After the conditions were agreed upon, things became much easier. First, Xie Chengzhi and Xing Qingsheng and a few others followed the people from the commune to determine the specific location and conduct on-site measurements. Together with the public land between the two villages, they finally obtained nearly 30 acres.

Afterwards, people from the two villages came out to fence off the land.

After that, a blueprint of the area was drawn and the transfer procedures were completed through the Land Bureau.

No one had any experience in this area, so Zhu Xiaomin used the contact information Lu Mingzheng left to find the person he arranged to help.

By the time all these were done, it was already June, and we could no longer wait and discussed with the brigade cadres on both sides about starting construction and hiring.

Most of the unused wasteland in the village is places with very poor soil and too many impurities. It would be left there anyway. The two villages did not take these lands seriously. Now that each of them has received more than 500 yuan, they are naturally overjoyed.

Now that they heard that they had started construction, they naturally cooperated happily. Some cadres from Lianhua Village even took the initiative to help contact the Western Suburbs Brick and Tile Factory and a cement factory to purchase materials at a favorable price.

On Zhu Xiaomin's side, Xing Qingsheng from Tsinghua University majored in civil engineering, and Xu Pengyu majored in architectural planning. Although a warehouse was a bit of a waste of resources, it was still an opportunity for practice, so they gave it to the two of them to do.

That area is closer to Peking University, so the communication and care was left to Chen Xudong and Yang Aijun.

In a compound in Beijing.

Another weekend, Luo Ye brought Zhu Xiaomin's letter home. After reading it to Luo Tingyuan, he said expectantly, "Dad, Xiaomin asked when it would be convenient for her to come and see you. She also said that their school is very close to ours and she wanted to come and find me."

Luo Tingyuan sat in a chair. His emaciated figure had gained some flesh, but his face was still somewhat sickly pale. He was silent for a while, and finally shook his head slightly: "You... tell her that I am not feeling well and cannot see guests. As for you... just find an excuse to refuse."
