Chapter 19 Contracting the Col
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has intention, Zheng Zuolin's words inspired Zhou An, and made his mind flash!
He immediately asked: "Uncle Zheng, did you just say that your regular customers are the regular customers in the seafood market?"
Zheng Zuolin shook his head: "Not only the seafood market, but also restaurants in the county, they also buy fish and shrimp from me, because I can always catch those high-quality fish and shrimp."
"Selling fish and shrimp to these restaurants, the price should be higher?" Zhou An asked again.
Zheng Zuolin said: "Of course, the purchase price of these restaurants is 20 to 30% higher than the price in the seafood market! But the quality they want is relatively high. Even if I fish from high-quality sea areas, I can only get fish. A portion of seafood that meets their requirements."
Zhou An suddenly realized that he had already made up his mind.
The magical effect of dragon gas has been shown before. If the dragon gas is used to catalyze the breeding of fish and shrimp, high-quality fish and shrimp will definitely be obtained.
If these fish and shrimps are sold to big restaurants in the county, I believe the selling price will not be low!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. After drinking, Zhou An hurried back home and began to think about how to start breeding.
Now the sea area around the village has been polluted. Even with the catalysis of dragon gas, the quality of those fish and shrimp will be affected by the pollution.
Since this is the case, why not contract a sea area by yourself and start farming!
Qingshan Village has many mountain depressions. Among them, the depressions near the sea can easily divert water from the sea and then store water in the depressions.
In this way, an artificial seawater area is formed in the mountain depression, and it is not connected to the outside sea.
At that time, Zhou An can use dragon gas to purify this seawater area, and then raise fish and shrimp in it.
After thinking this through, Zhou An only felt excited.
Before, he had thought about relying on the magical effect of dragon energy to engage in breeding and planting, and then make money and make a fortune.
When Zhou An makes money, it will in turn drive people in Qingshan Village to make money together.
One day, Zhou An's strength allows, and he will rely on his own ability to improve the environment in his hometown.
Until then, the promise that Zhou An silently made at Shuiyuntian Beach can be truly fulfilled!
He did what he said, and the night passed, and Zhou An went out early the next morning and went straight to the village chief Wei Zhengguang's house.
After knocking on the door, Wei Zhengguang's face immediately turned serious when he saw Zhou An in front of him.
"It's Zhou An, what are you looking for? If you have nothing important this early in the morning, don't come to me!"
Hearing this, Zhou An chuckled: "Village Chief, it's a good thing for me to come to you! It's a good thing!"
"What good thing?" Wei Zhengguang frowned, "Say it quickly! I'm waiting for dinner!"
"It's the village chief, I want to contract a mountain depression behind our village for breeding!" Zhou An said with a smile.
"Breeding?" Wei Zhengguang was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer flashed across his face, "Zhou An, do you have a fever and feel confused, breeding? You want to engage in breeding? What a joke!"
Paused, he snorted coldly: "Do you know how much it costs to start farming? Among other things, just renting the mountain col costs 15,000 a year. Can you afford it?"
"Fifteen thousand?" Zhou An hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slowly.
He is not short of money now, with the 20,000 yuan given by Zhao Qingxuan, plus the savings on hand, there are almost 25,000 yuan in Zhou'an bank card now.
Take out 15,000 yuan to rent the col, and the remaining 10,000 yuan should be barely enough for breeding investment.
Seeing Zhou An nodding, Wei Zhengguang gave him a surprised look.
Before Wei Zhengguang always thought that Zhou An was a poor ghost. After all, he returned to his hometown in the countryside after graduating from university, and he had never heard of his income. How could he get the contract fee of 15,000 yuan?
"Zhou An, are you kidding me? If you're serious, you'll have to go to the village committee to sign a contract with me after breakfast. Don't blame me for following the rules if you can't come up with the money. Do it!" Wei Zhengguang said with a cold snort.
Zhou An's face remained unchanged: "It's a deal! But I still have one request, the village will help me replace all the water in the mountain col with fresh seawater!"
"Hehe, as long as you can come up with a contract fee of 15,000, I will leave the matter of changing the water to me!" Wei Zhengguang promised, patted his chest.
A while later, Wei Zhengguang, who had a hasty breakfast, took Zhou An straight to the village committee.
Along the way, he also murmured in his heart, wondering if Zhou An really had the money to contract the mountain col?
But regardless of whether what Zhou An said is true or not, you will know when you go to the village committee later!
In the village committee, other village cadres also showed shocked expressions when they learned that Zhou An was going to contract the mountain col.
People in Qingshan Village live by fishing, but no one has ever considered raising fish and shrimp.
On the one hand, it is because the investment cost of farming fish and shrimp is relatively high. On the other hand, the fish and shrimp in the sea are inexhaustible. Since they can catch fish, they are naturally too lazy to raise them.
Besides, if there is a problem with the breeding and all the fish and shrimp die, then it will be a disaster!
Because of this, everyone looked at Zhou An in amazement, as if they were looking at the second idiot.
"Zhou An, I'm ugly. If you sign the contract later and you can't afford the contract fee of 15,000 yuan, I will deal with you according to the regulations!" Wei Zhengguang reminded Zhou An again.
Zhou An smiled and took out his bank card from his pocket.
"Our village committee seems to have a POS machine, and we can pay directly by card later, how about it?"
"it is good!"
Wei Zhengguang finally believed now that Zhou An did have 15,000 yuan in his hand. Although he didn't know how he got it out, Wei Zhengguang certainly would not reject Zhou An's proposal.
If a villager contracts a mountain col, the contract fee will be included in the funds of the village committee. At that time, Wei Zhengguang can take advantage of his position to embezzle the money little by little.
After the two parties signed the contract, Zhou An paid by card on the spot.
Soon, the accountant in the village received a reminder of the payment. From this moment on, that small mountain col belongs to Zhou An, valid for one year!
"Village chief, we agreed before that when we turn back, the village will send someone to help me replace all the water in the mountain col with fresh seawater. Don't forget this matter!"
Before leaving, Zhou An did not forget to remind Wei Zhengguang.
Wei Zhengguang was in a good mood at the moment, and he patted his chest to assure that there would be no problem.
After Zhou An walked out of the village committee office, Wei Zhengguang looked at his leaving back, but Wei Zhengguang suddenly thought of something, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Zhou An had lost face to him before, how could Wei Zhengguang, who must repay him, forget about it!
Qingshan Village is not big, and the news that Zhou An contracted the small mountain pass quickly spread among the villagers.
Everyone was talking about it, and everyone was surprised when they mentioned this matter.
Before that, Zhou An had always been recognized as a waste in the village, a dignified college student who couldn't even find a job after graduation, and went back to the village to do nothing but idle around every day.
But now this waste is going to be contracted to farm in the mountains. This is like a beggar who has been begging for food all the year round and suddenly expresses that he wants to open a shop for business. It will definitely arouse the attention and shock of the people around him.
