"They came to you too, didn't they?"
Zuo Yi saw Uncle Fatty's righteous indignation as a common enemy, so he easily guessed the truth. "How much did they offer you? Do you have one million and five hundred thousand per mu? "
"1.5 million per mu and I'll sign the contract!"
Uncle Fatty indignantly raised his index finger. "100 million for everything. Do I look like someone who's short of 100 million?"
Zuo Yi nodded. "100 million is indeed too little."
Zuo Yi was the number one landlord in Linjiang Town. He owned nearly a thousand mu of land, including the mountains and forests. Uncle Fatty, as the number two landlord, owned more than 300 mu of land. 100 million for everything would only be about 300,000 per mu.
If it was a land with a fixed period of time, such a price would be fair.
But Uncle Fatty, like Zuo Yi, owned land with permanent property rights that had no fixed period of time, so the price was completely different.
Da Xia had a territory of 13.8 million square kilometers and a population of 1.7 billion. The available land in the country was basically divided into two types: state-owned land and private land. Private land was divided into two types: restricted land and permanent property rights.
Restricted land was private land with a fixed period of time. If it exceeded the specified period of time, it would be taken back by the state. This type of private land was the largest, and most of it was used by the state to build residential and commercial facilities.
Private land with permanent property rights was the smallest, so its value was naturally the highest.
The emergence of permanent property rights could be traced back to the founding of Da Xia. It was also known as "meritorious land". As the name implied, it was land specially used to reward the country's meritorious officials.
Da Xia's founding father was aware of the disaster caused by the annexation of land in the previous dynasty, so he made strict restrictions in this regard. The number of meritorious officials who could be rewarded with meritorious land was limited, and the amount of permanent property rights was also quite limited.
Moreover, after 300 years, a lot of permanent property rights had been taken back by the state. The remaining land, especially in the prosperous areas, was worth a lot.
This was wealth that could be passed down from generation to generation!
One of the important criteria for tycoons and aristocratic families was whether or not they had permanent property rights. The Zuo and Zhong families were both once wealthy but now declining families.
But as long as they had permanent property rights, they could still protect the last bit of their former glory.
Zuo Qingyun's only wish before she died was for him to protect this family business and not ruin it recklessly.
Zuo Yi agreed.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not sell even a single piece of land, not to mention that this was his mother's resting place.
Zuo Yi thought that Uncle Fatty wouldn't sell it, because Uncle Fatty didn't lack money. But now, listening to him, it was just that the other party didn't have enough sincerity. It wasn't a firm refusal.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but ask, "If the price they offer is right, are you really going to sell it?"
"An arm can't win against a leg."
Uncle Fatty sighed. "In the past, Linjiang Town was a remote place and no one paid attention to our land. Now, Hangzhou City is developing too fast. The south bank of Qianjiang River is about to be included in the urban area. We have no power or influence to guard this fat piece of meat. Sooner or later, we can't keep it."
After a pause, he continued, "I heard that the Jiangnan New City Group was jointly established by several big families. I have thin arms and legs. If I sell it, I won't be coveted by others. It's a peace of mind."
Zuo Yi looked at Uncle Fatty's arms and legs, which were thicker than other people's waists, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Fatty, how much are you going to sell it for? If it's all packed up. "
Uncle Fatty smacked his lips and said, "At least 500 million yuan. After selling the land, I'll retire to Taiwan."
Zuo Yi touched his chin and asked, "Uncle Fatty, if I offer 500 million yuan to buy your land, will you sell it?"
The land of the Zhong Family was adjacent to the land of the Zuo Family. Therefore, Uncle Fatty rented 200 acres of good land from Zuo Yi to do green planting.
"You want to buy my land?"
Uncle Fatty was stunned. "Xiao Zuo, where did you get so much money?"
He didn't believe it at all. Because over the years, Zuo Yi basically lived on the rent he paid for the land.
It was 500 million yuan!
"I don't have that much money right now."
Zuo Yi said, "But if you're willing to sell it to me, I can earn 500 million yuan back."
Uncle Fatty's knees went soft, and he almost knelt down in front of Young Master Zuo!
Zuo Yi said it so casually, as if earning 500 million was as simple as earning five dollars.
But when such ridiculous words came from Zuo Yi's mouth, Uncle Fatty actually believed it a little!
He composed himself and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter who I sell it to. If you can take out 500 million yuan, I'll sell it all to you!"
Zuo Yi nodded. "Then it's a deal. I'll raise the money as soon as possible."
Uncle Fatty was really shocked. "You're not serious, are you?"
Zuo Yi replied seriously, "I'm very serious."
Uncle Fatty felt like he didn't recognize Xiao Zuo anymore. He couldn't help but swallow and said, "Xiao Zuo, you can't joke about such a big thing. Even if you can take out 500 million yuan, can you handle the New City Group?"
"That's my business."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Fatty, you're going to retire in Qiongzhou. What are you afraid of?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!"
Uncle Fatty straightened his neck and said, "I just want to live a peaceful life. If you really push me too far, I'll go to the capital to complain!"
Although the Zhong family had declined, if Uncle Fatty dared to go all out, he could find someone to talk to.
There was a saying that the fox mourned for the rabbit's death. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't encounter such a situation?
Of course, that would be the last choice.
"Xiao Zuo …"
Uncle Fatty said in high spirits, "If you can raise 500 million yuan before the end of the month, all my land will be yours!"
"Okay."
Zuo Yi said, "Before the end of the month, whether I can raise the money or not, I'll give you a definite answer!"
Originally, Zuo Yi wanted to invite Uncle Fatty to come in, but he had other things to do.
After sending Uncle Fatty away, Zuo Yi returned home.
The Bao'er was watching TV in the video room on the second floor. When she saw Zuo Yi, she shouted, "Dad, come and watch Da Xia, the Great Singer!"
This video room was set up by Zuo Yi himself. It was equipped with a home theater and a high-definition digital TV signal. In addition to watching movies, one could also watch TV programs.
In order to let the Bao'er have entertainment at home, Zuo Yi had recently bought a lot of cartoons and movies suitable for children.
It didn't matter if the Bao'er didn't know how to operate it. As long as Agu was there, it would be fine.
Zuo Yi was confused. "What Da Xia, the Great Singer?"
He sat down next to the little girl and watched for a few minutes. Then, he used his mobile phone to search for information on the Internet before he understood.
It turned out that "Da Xia, the Great Singer" was a reality variety show that had just been launched by Beijing TV this year. It invited all kinds of famous singers to compete on stage. The ratings were very good, and it was currently at the top of the primetime slot.
The Bao'er was watching the latest episode from last night.
Zuo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but touch her head and ask, "Why are you watching this?"
Tom and Jerry were crying.
The Bao'er explained, "I asked Agu to help me change the program. He changed it to this one. Then, I saw a beautiful sister in it. She sings very, very well. No one else is as beautiful as her. They don't sing as well as her!"
She said it in one breath without panting.
Zuo Yi laughed. "Then this beautiful sister must be very happy to have a beautiful little fan."
The Bao'er puffed up her cheeks and stared at Zuo Yi. Dad, are you kidding me?
It must be!
That's right.
Zuo Yi smiled, hugged the little girl, and kissed her. He asked the Wizard Slave for the remote control and said, "Then let Dad see how beautiful this sister is."
The digital TV had a replay function, so Zuo Yi easily returned to the front and found the beautiful sister that the Bao'er was talking about.
"That's her!"
The Bao'er pointed at a female singer who had just appeared on the projection screen and said excitedly, "That's the sister."
"Yes."
Zuo Yi watched with interest. She was really beautiful.
The name of the female singer was Zhang Jingyao. She looked very young. Zuo Yi didn't have any impression of her. She should be a star who had just appeared in recent years. Her figure and appearance were top-notch.
But her voice surpassed her appearance. Her voice was like the sound of nature, moving people's hearts and souls. It had a magic power that appealed to both young and old!
No wonder the little girl liked her. The love for beautiful things was regardless of age.
However, Zuo Yi saw, or to be more precise, heard something extraordinary about the other party.
