The King of Global Scrap Collection Chapter 53 - 53 56 600 Acres

53: Chapter 56: 600 Acres 53: Chapter 56: 600 Acres “Village land has never been sold to outsiders.

The last ti the county governnt tried to forcibly requisition land for a factory, my great-uncle directly led thousands of people to surround the county office for a day and a night.

In the end, after negotiations, it turned into a lease, and the matter was settled.

My great-uncle is a stubborn old man, he won’t sell the land to you!”

Chen Wenzhi explained.

Li Zhongnan reluctantly nodded his head.

The old generation in the countryside always puts a high value on land, considering it even more important than life.

However, it would definitely be difficult to find such a generously sized lot, and he would encounter the sa issue wherever else he chose, not only in Bandale Village.

All the rural areas had the sa principle.

After so thought, he tried to convince Zhiwen, saying “Zhiwen, my large-scale recycling station will employ dozens of people for long-term assignnts.

They will eat, drink, and buy their everyday needs and luxury goods from your village.

Not to ntion the occasional scrap material dealers, they too would stop in your village for als.

This economic activity would sohow stimulate your village’s economy.

In the next few years, I plan to build a manufacturing factory of considerable scale.

And when it cos to hiring, I will prioritize the young n from your village.

As an educated man, you should understand these advantages and disadvantages.”

“I understand such superficial logic, but the old man, well.” Chen Wenzhi shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

Li Zhongnan insisted on asking, “Is there no way at all?”

Chen Wenzhi thought for a while and said, “I can arrange a eting with him.

You can give it a shot and see if you can convince him.

If it doesn’t work out, we might have to look for alternatives.”

“Okay!”

Li Zhongnan responded with a nod.

Then, he took out a handbag and handed it over to Chen Wenzhi, saying, “Thanks for the trouble.”

“Brother Zhongnan, I will not refuse then.”

Chen Wenzhi opened the bag and saw an estimate of twenty to thirty bundles in it.

He was a bit surprised, yet he graciously accepted it.

At noon.

With the recomndation of Chen Wenzhi, in a private room of a restaurant in the County Town, Li Zhongnan finally t Chen Dao, the elderly village head of Bandale Village.

An old man in his sixties, sat half-closed eyes, clutching a cane in both hands.

However, despite his age, he seed energetic and healthy.

Chen Wenzhi introduced to Chen Dao, “Great-Uncle, this is one of my brothers, his na is Li Zhongnan.

Currently, he is in the business of recycling electronics and other waste materials!”

Li Zhongnan raised a glass of liquor and said, “Great-Uncle Chen, let toast to you.”

Chen Dao tapped his cane on the floor and said, “Young man, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Tell , why do you need an old man like ?

If I can’t help you, there’s no need to drink this wine!”

Li Zhongnan sighed helplessly and plucked up the courage to say, “Great-Uncle Chen, I wish to purchase a plot of land in your village.

Specifically the abandoned factory.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao said, “It appears I won’t be drinking today, young man.

We will et another day!”

He then used his cane for support, preparing to stand up and leave.

“Great-uncle, since you’re here, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!”

Chen Wenzhi quickly held him back, forcefully seated him once again, before pouring him a cup of tea.

“You don’t have to drink the wine.

It’s hot outside, have a sip of water to soothe your throat.”

“You treacherous little brat, have you decided to play the traitor today?”

Chen Dao glared at Chen Wenzhi, but eventually drank the cup of tea.

Li Zhongnan sorted out his thoughts and said, “Great-Uncle Chen, years ago when I was studying in the county town, I often visited your village.

At that ti, it indeed lived up to its na as the first village in Northrealm, bustling with activities, always lively even at night with music and dance.

But now, apart from won and children, how many able-bodied young n are left in the village?”

On hearing this, Chen Dao’s expression turned gloomy.

Li Zhongnan continued, “But can we bla them?

We can’t!

Because a man needs to provide for his family.

They had to go out to work or their families would starve and their children would have no education.”

Chen Dao sighed, “I understand them!”

Li Zhongnan also said, “Great-Uncle Chen, as long as you are willing to sell the land, I promise to build a large factory within three years, hiring at least five hundred employees from your village.

In addition, after the factory is built, it would create many job opportunities for the villagers.

The residents won’t have to leave their hotown and wander anymore.

Returning Bandale Village to its forr glory is not far off, please reconsider.”

“No matter what price you quote, I will try my best to afford it!”

Li Zhongnan promised.

Waste recycling is his main business.

Regardless of the price, he must obtain this land.

As long as he secures it and builds the recycling station, and then settles the issue with Cyclops, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for quite so ti.

After giving three million to Han Xue, the remaining capital on hand was about six million.

Apart from buying land, there’s construction and recycling to deal with.

If the other party makes a high demand, I’ll have to find another way to raise more money.

Of course, in a while, once the company’s business license cos through and Electro City in Nangang begins operations, the issue of funding won’t be a problem.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao was tempted, but after pondering for a while, he still shook his head: “Years ago, when the county built a factor, they said the sa thing.

So, young man, your words don’t move because I don’t have faith in you.

As long as the land remains, no matter what the future society becos, the lineage of Bandale Village will always have a place to live and food to eat.”

Having said that, he was about to leave.

Looking sowhat helpless, Chen Wenzhi signaled to the manager at the door.

Five or six beautiful young won, swaying as they walked, entered the room.

Chen Dao had just stood up when an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girl threw herself at him, lifting a cup of wine to his mouth as she coquettishly said, “Grandpa, I’m here to drink with you…”

Chen Dao jumped in surprise, swearing at Chen Wenzhi, “You little brat, what are you doing!

Get her out of here!”

Chen Wenzhi smiled and said, “Uncle, there’s a small private room inside the suite.”

Having said that, he chuckled awkwardly as he left, his arms wrapped around two girls.

Li Zhongnan stared in bewildernt for a mont, then also walked out, shutting the door behind Chen Dao.

Once outside, he asked, “Zhiwen, will this work?”

Chen Wenzhi laughed, “This stubborn old man cares about face too much to let anyone else know.

It’s guaranteed there won’t be a problem.”

Then he grinned lecherously, “Zhongnan, I’ve opened a room for you too, hehe…”

Then, arm in arm, he walked off.

“Hurry up, don’t delay things!” Li Zhongnan called after him.

Chen Wenzhi smiled, “Don’t worry, my uncle has been practicing martial arts all his life, his body is much sturdier than mine!”

Li Zhongnan reluctantly shook his head.

Then he pulled out a few banknotes, handing them to the two girls in his suite to send them away.

He then exited the hotel, contract in hand.

A few hours later.

Chen Wenzhi watched as a blushing but extrely annoyed Chen Dao ca out.

Grinning toothily, he asked, “Uncle, how do you feel?

Happy?

Comfortable?”

Chen Dao banged his walking stick, “You little scoundrel, you’ve ruined my reputation!”

Chen Wenzhi replied, “Uncle, don’t worry.

Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know.”

Chen Dao sighed, then said to Li Zhongnan, “Young man, if you can fulfill your earlier promise, I will sell you that land today.

That would be an imasurable good deed for the entire Bandale Village.”

“Absolutely!” Li Zhongnan replied cheerfully, then took out the pre-prepared contract, “Uncle Chen, the price for the entire abandoned factory and the surrounding forest, totalling six hundred acres, is twelve million.

Payout will be spread over ten years, beginning three months from today.

Please take a look and if there’s no problem, just sign it!”

“Zhiwen can check it!” Chen Dao shook his head and picked up the pen to sign his na.

Then he took out a stamp to seal it with the mark of the village committee.

Having done all that, he said, “Later, I’ll give the land deed to Zhiwen.

You can collect it from him.”

After saying this, leaning on his walking stick, he walked away.

After a few steps, he turned around suddenly, “That girl Xiao Ya is pitiful.

She lost her father at three and her mother at five, and was sold into a brothel at seven.

Help her redeem herself and since she has nowhere else to go, send her to the village to keep company!”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhongnan was montarily lost for words.
