Chapter 29 7. North Beach

Lu Zheng recently fell in love with a forest of more than 2,000 mu in Beitantou Village, Wangsheren Township, Shifo District. This forest is located on the banks of the Heishui River. He has been searching for it for more than a month and decided to rent it out for the weekend. He deliberately dragged Bai Zhigang to the village for a walk. This is a poplar forest, which grows very well, not to mention tall and straight. The round trunks are almost the same thickness, standing there in rows, facing the distance. They are set against the clean sky, like pencil drawings. up. "Lu Zheng, do you want to develop this forest into a villa?"

Bai Zhigang saw that Lu Zheng was very happy about this forest, so he asked guessily. "This is land for forestry. If the government doesn't expropriate it, it will never be turned into commercial land. It's a no-brainer to develop a villa area." Lu Zheng said regretfully. "Then why do you have a soft spot for this forest?" Bai Zhigang asked puzzled. "Zhigang, you'll know it just by looking at the Blackwater River Beach." Lu Zheng said arrogantly. When Bai Zhigang looked around, the river was floating on the beach like white water, and the beach was shining with golden light against the sunlight, making it look extraordinarily far away.

"Lu Zheng, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd? The river beach here is nothing special." Bai Zhigang asked in a daze. "Zhigang, you accompany me to Beitantou Village, you will know in a while." Lu Zheng continued to talk about it. Bai Zhigang didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them got into Desert Storm and drove straight to Beitantou Village.In the Dongzhou real estate industry, Bai Zhigang only admired two people, one was his elder brother, and the other was Lu Zheng. Bai Zhigang admired Lu Zheng not because of Lu Zheng's performance in the real estate business, but because of Lu Zheng's rare chivalry. Lu Zheng once recommended to Bai Zhigang a novel from the former Soviet Union. The protagonist Paul?Kochakin saw Lu Zheng's character.

Once Lu Zheng celebrated his birthday and invited many friends to his home for dinner.For such an occasion, Li Minglin, Bai Changxing, and Bai Zhigang must be invited. Li Minglin and Lu Zheng are friends. They left the big city of Dongzhou when they were teenagers and went to Yan'an together.The environment at that time was very difficult, which made Lu Zheng, who has always been firm, persistent, and fearless of difficulties, add some rough factors to his character. At that birthday banquet, Li Minglin told a detail of Lu Zheng's jumping in Yan'an that year, which Bai Zhigang found very memorable.Lu Zheng has been a strong and tough person since he was a child, and he especially likes to play football. Once, in Yan'an, he played a football match with a friend from a youth club in a neighboring village, but lost.During the break, in order to encourage his teammates, Lu Zheng took out a red-hot coal ball from the burning coal stove with his hand, and lit cigarettes for each of his friends. The red-hot coal ball burned the skin on his hand There was a creaking sound, and there was a burnt smell of burnt skin, and everyone hurriedly moved towards the smoke.

Ever since he heard Li Minglin tell about Lu Zheng, Bai Zhigang began to admire Lu Zheng's unyielding spirit from the bottom of his heart. After a long time, he also became infected with not walking on flat roads. He only chose to walk on steep slopes. Not addictive, but also to go around the evil power of Mount Everest. Originally, Lu Zheng and Bai Zhigang came out today to play golf together, but Lu Zheng drove straight to Beitantou Village.Beitantou Village is a small village with only a few dozen households. The village committee was rebuilt from the Guandi Temple. It faces south and is surrounded by neat red walls.

Outside the red wall are willows and elms that have grown for many years, with intertwined roots and intertwined branches, covering the temple tightly.The signboard of the village committee was hung in front of the mountain gate. Two people entered the mountain gate and walked out of a man in his fifties. He was dressed as a village cadre, with dark and dense beards left to grow, and brown eyes deep and shrewd. , seems to have the weight of being a family member. "Excuse me, is Director Xi here?" Lu Zheng asked politely. "I am, what do you need from me?" The old man asked ignorantly.

"Hello, hello, Director Xi, my name is Lu, and this is my business card," After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he handed the business card to Director Xi, and then said, "The forest of more than 2,000 mu at the head of the village belongs to your village. I want to discuss with Director Xi to see if it can be rented." "Oh, it's Boss Lu. You are in big business. Why do you like the forest in our village? Come, please come inside, please come inside!" Director Xi was overjoyed and invited Lu Zheng and Bai Zhigang to the village committee office. "To tell you the truth, Boss Lu,"

Director Xi said while making tea, "The village committee has always wanted to exchange that piece of forest for two dollars, but the higher-ups did not allow it to be chopped down. There is no way, and I can't think of a way to exchange money. Rent it well. The rich people in your city pay a lot of money." Most of them like places with forests and water, renting is fine, but trees cannot be cut down.” "Director Xi, don't worry, not a single tree will be cut down, we will sign the contract according to the Forest Law." Lu Zheng said modestly. "Boss Lu, I believe we are all adopting the same regulations, but you have to admit that the effectiveness of these regulations in front of you is very different from the effectiveness in front of our farmers. The reason is very simple. The channels for you to understand the regulations are much different. When we are village directors, we must be hundreds of times more advanced in technology, and thousands of times more advanced than ordinary villagers. Therefore, when I deal with you big bosses, I don’t talk about laws, but only about village rules.”

As soon as Director Xi opened his mouth, he showed a peasant-like treachery. "Director Xi, does the river beach next to the forest also belong to Beitantou Village?" Lu Zheng asked shrewdly. "Not only the river beach next to the forest, but also the river beach on the other side of the river belongs to our village. I just want to ask, Boss Lu, what do you want to rent this forest for?" Director Xi asked curiously. "Hey Director, this forest is a natural oxygen bar, very suitable for tourism!" Lu Zheng said perfunctorily. "Okay, it's good to travel. The forest has more than 2,000 acres, but I don't know how much Boss Lu paid for it?"

Director Xi asked inquiringly. "Eight thousand yuan a year, no bargaining, I'll rent it for 30 years, how about it?" Lu Zheng said happily. "Boss Lu, it's not easy for us farmers. Let's add another two thousand, let's make up ten thousand. To tell you the truth, the financial payment to the village cadres is only a few hundred yuan per month. The document is called the wage loss subsidy. According to this name, it should be understood as, The time of the village cadres is mainly used for farming and other family livelihoods. Since they have missed their own jobs due to taking public positions, they are given appropriate subsidies from the finance. , manage the daily affairs of the whole village, and basically work full-time. Even if someone comes to the door for a big worship like today, they have to be directors. The livelihood of the village cadres is difficult. With 10,000 yuan, five villages Cadres will also have more money on hand.”

Director Xi's words were pitiful, Lu Zheng moved his heart with compassion, and said straightforwardly: "Okay, ten thousand yuan a year, when will you sign the contract?" "The contract cannot be signed now." "why?" "To tell you the truth, Boss Lu, that forest is an ecological protection forest. It is reasonable to say that it cannot be transferred, but Boss Lu is a big real estate developer, so the relationship must be good. As long as the district forestry bureau agrees, I will sign a lease with you immediately. contract." Director Xi said out of breath. "Director Xi, you really know how to joke, why didn't you say that this forest is nothing in your village." Bai Zhigang said with a serious face. "It's not that what you say doesn't count, it's that half what you say is what you say. If the district wants to transfer this forest land, it doesn't matter if the village doesn't agree." Director Xi quibbled. "Okay, come here first, I will look for you again." Lu Zheng stood up, shook hands with Director Xi and said. Director Xi respectfully sent Lu Zheng and Bai Zhigang out of the village committee. Desert Storm is heading towards Caohekou Scenic Area, where there is the most luxurious golf course in the Heishui area, called Shimao Golf Course, which was approved by Xiao Honglin for accepting bribes and violations of regulations. Now this golf course is well-known in Northeast Asia. Japanese and Russians come here to try their skills. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Bai Zhigang looked at the Heishui River in a daze and asked, "Brother Lu, tell the truth, what exactly do you want to do by renting that forest?" "Zhigang, thanks to the fact that you are still the general manager of Senhao Group, you can't see through my intentions. You think I'm really interested in that forest. I'm interested in the river beach next to that forest. That river beach The land is a natural sand quarry, and the sand produced a year can earn 20 million yuan, and the water conservancy bureau has been opened up, and we have to do the dredging." Lu Zheng said triumphantly. "A mere 20 million is worth the detour you have to make with me. Are you afraid that I will snatch it from you?" Bai Zhigang teased. "You boy, don't be unconvinced. If this matter is to be completed, 20 million yuan will be like picking up in vain." "Don't be too happy, the "Forest Law" clearly stipulates that circulation is not allowed." "I'll ask the district chief, Gu Changshan, for special approval. Don't forget, in China, sometimes favors are more important than laws." "Gu Changshan is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles. If he understands, won't he play tricks on you?" "Zhigang, when I built the Arcadia Manor, I had a lot of dealings with Gu Changshan. He still wants to buy my favor, and I still have a villa for him now." "Dare he live?" "I didn't dare to live there, but I took the key." "Brother Lu, Gu Changshan was single-handedly promoted by Jia Chaoxuan, and he managed to escape the 'Xiao Jia case', and now he's having a heated fight with He Zhendong, you should be careful when dealing with this person." "Don't worry, brother, I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp either." After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and Desert Storm drove towards Caohekou like an angry tiger.
