Lin Jianming is also a smart man. How could he not understand the hidden meaning of Meng Haisheng's words?
"Although the wheat yield of our sandy land is not very high, I heard that watermelons grown on sandy land are very sweet. Some time ago, I was thinking of letting the villagers contract this sandy land to grow watermelons."
"But since you came first, I must contract it to you first."
Meng Haisheng was amused. Lin Jianming was really good at fooling him. It was already May, and the watermelons had not been planted yet. He couldn't plant them next year.
"The prices for contracting wasteland in our town are almost the same, so I won't ask for a high price."
"Our sandy land can grow wheat at the worst. I will give you 6 yuan per mu. You can go to the town to inquire about this price. It must be the most suitable."
Lin Jianming was definitely thoughtful when he quoted the price.
He also knew that the wasteland contracted by Meng Haisheng was on the mountain, and no food could be grown in it, so he contracted it to him at such a low price.
As for the land in the village that can grow food, it is generally around 10 yuan.
His 6 yuan per mu is definitely the right price.
"Okay, Uncle Lin is a straightforward person, so I won't talk to you about the price, but I have a premise, the contract must be for 70 years."
"If the country issues a policy to increase the price in the middle, I will definitely follow the national policy, but if the country does not issue a policy, the village cannot increase it for me for no reason."
"I understand, you are afraid that our village will raise the price in the future and increase the price for you halfway. This is easy to say, you can write all these in the contract."
"If you want to contract the land in our village, you need the signature of the town and the county. Even if there are any problems in the future, there are still the town and the county to watch. How can I, a village party secretary, have the final say?"
Seeing Lin Jianming talking in a set way, Meng Haisheng thought that he was indeed in the officialdom. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he would never make mistakes in his actions.
Let alone 70 years, I don't even know how many years Lin Jianming can be the village secretary.
He will first contract out the land and get the money first. As for the future, let the future village secretary handle it.
"Uncle Lin, when do you have time? Let's sign the contract as soon as possible so that I can plant alfalfa earlier."
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Uncle Lin to find some people from the village to help plant alfalfa."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Jianming was so happy to see Meng Haisheng didn't bargain at all.
This piece of sandy land is full of sand pits. Even if you plant watermelons, you probably won't be able to grow any good quality watermelons.
Now that all the land has been contracted out at once, the village has more than 60,000 yuan in income, which is a great thing for their Yuqing Village.
Lin Jianming was naturally very positive about such a good thing. The next day, the two of them went to the town with the information.
No one made trouble this time, and the contracting procedures were all completed in two days.
Meng Haisheng also contracted the barren mountain in Xiashan Village. He wanted to plant a lot of fruit trees, chestnut trees and the like on the mountain, not for selling, but for himself to eat fresh.
After signing the contract for the sand land, Meng Haisheng went around looking for excavators, wanting to renovate 60 acres of the sand land he had just contracted, and plant some alfalfa first.
A lot of wheat was planted on the remaining dozens of acres, and he wanted to wait until the wheat was harvested before renovating it, anyway, there were only a few days left.
At that time, excavators were definitely a rare thing, and Meng Haisheng couldn't borrow one in Muping Town.
In the end, he asked around and went to Haiqing Town to borrow one from a large state-owned factory.
The master had work to do during the day, and could come for two hours every day to help renovate the sand land.
Two hours can't do much work.
Before the summer harvest, Meng Haisheng directly hired more than 80 young laborers from Xiashan Village and Yuqing Village.
If the excavator didn't come, they would take a shovel and do some work on the land first, and then cooperate with the excavator when it came.
A piece of sandy land was almost finished by Meng Haisheng in a week.
"Dad, is this okay? The soil layer is only two meters thick. Can alfalfa grow well?"
"It's not a big problem. Alfalfa has strong vitality and can grow with a little soil."
Meng Haisheng didn't know how to farm. When he was finishing the sandy land, he called Meng Guangzhu to direct him.
Meng Guangzhu saw that there were many sand pits on the sandy land, so he used the excavator to dig deep. After digging two or three meters, he could not see the soil. He moved the sand two meters deep to fill the sunken place and covered it with two meters of soil.
Then he used a tractor with a plow to run two rounds, and then he could plant alfalfa directly.
While finishing the land, Meng Guangzhu also bought a lot of fermented cow dung from a nearby farm.
The weather in May was already quite hot, and the cow dung was piled up by the field and fermented for several days before Guangzhu dared to use it boldly.
When turning the soil with a plow, the cow dung was mixed with the soil., and then spread it on the sand.
He was afraid of burning the alfalfa, so he deliberately put less.
Alfalfa is a plant that can grow wildly with just a little soil.
Now that fertilizer has been added, Meng Haisheng can imagine that it won't be long before this piece of sand is covered with tender green alfalfa.
While the sand was busy, Meng Haisheng was also busy with the TV.
He didn't go to Hong Kong Island to check the goods, but called Zhou Wenqi directly to ask for two train cars of TVs.
This time it was a train car and a half of broken TVs, and he only wanted half a train car of good ones.
"Haisheng, if you don't come and see, I can't help you choose this broken TV. Whatever pallet comes from abroad, I will send you the whole pallet directly, and the price is 30 per unit."
"Okay, I want the broken ones anyway. Even if the quality is bad, I can't have a whole pallet of broken screens."
Zhou Wenqi's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"If someone from abroad dares to do this, I will go there immediately."
It is also a good thing for Zhou Wenqi and Ajie that Meng Haisheng can help them deal with so many broken TV sets. After all, Zhou Wenqi has limited energy and can't take apprentices every day.
On the train, Meng Haisheng called Manager Li directly. Manager Li originally thought that Meng Haisheng would not be able to win and he would not get any benefits.
As a result, within two days, he received a package specially sent by someone, which contained four Marlboros.
Manager Li was dumbfounded when he saw so many Marlboros.
He immediately called Meng Haisheng and arranged his goods properly if Meng Haisheng didn't need to come in the future.
"Manager Li, I think we will order two more wagons soon. I will have to trouble you then."
"Haisheng, you are too polite. It's just two wagons. It's not a big deal. Just tell me anytime."
Meng Haisheng didn't need to check the goods. Ajie didn't unload the goods when they arrived at the container. They were directly transferred to Pengcheng Special Zone, and then transported to Quyang County by train from Pengcheng Special Zone.
On the day of unloading, Meng Haisheng was still quite nervous.
If he didn't split the goods, it would be equivalent to helping Ajie to bear the risk, but at the same time his profit was also rising with the risk.
The difference between a second-hand color TV and a black-and-white TV is nearly 400 to 500 yuan.
If more color TVs are disassembled, he will make a lot of money.
"When everyone disassembles the pallet, be careful and don't damage the TV screen."
Meng Haisheng brought his apprentices and hired four more porters to unload the goods together.
Yu Shilong and Meng Xiaomi brought people to sort the color TVs and black-and-white TVs first.
Half of the first tray was filled with black-and-white TVs, and the second tray was almost the same.
Qu Dayong, who was watching from the side, was a little anxious. There were so many black-and-white TVs at the beginning, and if all of them were this type later, there would be no big profit from this train car.
