Chapter 99 Contracting
The two of them were immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, Sister Ningxun."
Wei Dongchen hesitated and said: "Sister Ningxun, I'm afraid I won't have that much time to come here in the future."
Qiao Ningxun asked with concern: "What's wrong? Do you have your own arrangements for making up classes?"
"No." Wei Dongchen said: "My parents originally worked on the land contracted by the village, but the person who contracted the land has not made any money in the past few years, so he stopped contracting the land and wanted to return it to the village. , my parents have no jobs. They haven’t studied much and plan to go to the city to find a job, but they are very introverted and honest, so they may not be able to find one, so I have to go out to find a summer job to prepare for my tuition for the next semester. and living expenses.”
It stands to reason that his parents should go out to work and make money like other young adults, that way they could earn more.
But they went out to work several times, and their bosses saw that they were honest and introverted, so they defaulted on their wages several times, and sometimes they didn't come back for a year.
They were worried and had not received any money. They kept thinking about it every day. They could not eat well or sleep well. They would make themselves sick every time. Gradually, they no longer wanted to work in the city.
Later, the Zhang family in the village recruited people to farm. Although it was not as much as the wages offered in the city, every time the Zhang family refused to give money and asked the village chief to come forward, they would definitely receive it.
Gradually, they no longer have the intention to go out to work.
Qiao Ningxun's eyes suddenly lit up.
As long as you are a villager in Daguo Village, you can contract the land in Daguo Village.
However, now that the prices of various commodities are rising, including pesticides, ordinary contractors cannot make much money at all.
If you encounter a natural disaster, it is very common to lose all your money.
But she has magical powers. She can make a steady profit from farming, and she can also involve her family members.
She was just thinking about where to contract some land for planting yesterday, but she didn't expect that as soon as she fell asleep, someone gave her a pillow.
Qiao Ningxun became interested and asked, "Does that mean your parents' employer won't contract the land?"
"right."
"Then what do they plan to do with the land? Are they planning to transfer it out? Or will they let the village take it back?"
"They want to transfer a total of twenty acres of land, but there are still a lot of vegetables in the land, and there is also a fruit forest, which is about twenty acres. Many of the fruit trees are still bearing fruit, so the transfer fee is a bit expensive. . People in the village don’t dare to spend a lot of money to take over when they see that they can’t make any money. My parents say they are also in dire straits.”
Qiao Ningxun continued to ask: "How much transfer fee do they want?"
Wei Dongchen said: "One acre of land costs 5,000, and fruit groves cost 6,000. They signed a one-time contract for thirty years. Only five years have passed, and there are still twenty-five years left. The next twenty-five years will be as follows. A contractor pays a contract fee of 500 per acre per year for land and 600 per acre per year for orchards. If the payment is enough for one year at a time, the contractor can continue to use it in the second year. If there is a breach of contract, the village will have to pay liquidated damages. ”
Qiao Ningxun raised his eyebrows and said: "This will cost a total of 220,000 yuan, and the things in the field are probably not worth that much money. It will definitely take a lot of time and a lot of money to get back the money. It’s a big risk, so it’s normal for people in the village to be hesitant.”
Ye Caixiang snorted, "That contractor wants to get hundreds of thousands at once and recoup all his investments in recent years. It's really a beautiful idea."
"That's right." Qiao Kangsheng said: "No wonder no one took it over. Other people's money didn't come from strong winds. How could they easily give out 220,000 yuan?"
Qiao Ningxun thought for a moment and suddenly said seriously: "Wei Dongchen, please take me to see the contractor."
Qiao Kangsheng asked: "Ningxun, do you want to take over the contract?"
Qiao Ningxun nodded: "I have this idea, but I still have to see if the things in the field are worthy of my contract."
Farming may not be as profitable as her selling mushrooms, but after she goes to school, her family will definitely have to find something to do.
Especially Qiao Shulan, maybe she will return to her old career.
The nanny job was really frustrating, so it was better to let her work freely at home.
Qiao Kangsheng unconditionally agreed with his granddaughter's idea, "Then let's go and take a look. If it's suitable, we'll contract it."
Qiao Ningxun nodded.
Wei Dongchen was immediately happy. If Lao Qiao's family could really take over, his parents would not lose their jobs in the future.
"Then come with me. Before I came, my parents went to find that family. There should be someone in that family's home now."
Qiao Ningxun said: "Then please lead the way."
"good."
In view of the fact that people who were hanging around at home would have to come over to transport the fungi, Qiao Ningxun asked her cousin and mother to wait for the guests at home, and she took the others and followed Wei Dongchen to that house.
Guan Yiwen also went over to watch the fun.
On the way, Qiao Kangsheng said: "Ningxun, that family's price is too expensive. The labor cost of the contracted land is very high now. I think that even if you bargain hard, they will probably agree. That family's character It’s not very nice, you don’t have to be too polite to them.”
If his granddaughter had no secret, he would not approve of her farming.
But the granddaughter has a secret. The loquats she produced last time were able to earn the family several thousand a day. I believe that if she farmed, it would definitely be a profitable business.
Qiao Ningxun nodded.
The group of people soon arrived at the door of Zhang's house.
Of course, before they went over, they also went to check out the land and orchards contracted by the Zhang family.
The Zhang family did invest quite a lot in the early stage. Just the barbed wire fence surrounding the land should have cost a lot of money.
In order to prevent people from breaking the wire mesh and entering, a lot of thorny vines were planted around the wire mesh.
Many vegetables in the field have been sold, and those that cannot be sold are empty and have not been planted. It can be seen that the Zhang family has long been willing to transfer and does not want to be taken advantage of too much.
However, there are still many vegetables in the field that can be harvested soon. After waiting for more than ten or twenty days, they can also be sold.
There are many kinds of fruit trees in the orchard, and the surrounding area is also blocked by wire mesh.
All the ripe fruits have been sold, and the remaining small part can also mature after a while, and some will bear fruit in winter.
After roughly understanding the situation, the people of the old Qiao family quickly walked towards the Zhang family.
At this time, the door of the Zhang family was wide open, and many people were sitting in the yard to discuss things, and the village chief was also inside.
The people of the old Qiao family did not go in for the time being.
Zhang Fugui, the contractor of those lands, said: "Village chief, I really want to continue contracting, provide some job opportunities for the villagers, and make some money myself."
"But now the labor cost is too high, and the vegetables and fruit trees are prone to disease, so people often have to spray pesticides, which costs a lot of money every day."
"Even so, those vegetables and fruits are not growing very well. I really have no choice. I don't have much money."
