On Friday morning, after breakfast, Zuo Yi brought Bao'er to Tenhiro Budokan as usual.
However, he didn't stay in the Martial Arts Center for too long. After leaving the little girl in Shang Yulin's care, he returned to Linjiang Town.
Today, Zuo Yi had something very important to do.
He drove the Cherokee to the front of a large house at the southern end of the town.
The owner of this house was Uncle Fatty. Zuo Yi came to discuss the land transfer with him.
"Little Zuo."
Uncle Fatty was waiting for Zuo Yi at home because they had talked on the phone in advance. He opened the door and greeted him warmly, "Come in and have a seat. Speaking of which, you haven't been here for a long time."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Yes."
The old house of the Zhong Family was much bigger than the old house of the Zuo Family. It was a traditional courtyard, but there were too few people in the house, so it seemed cold and cheerless.
Zuo Yi came to the living room and sat down. He went straight to the point and said, "Uncle Fatty, I've gathered the money. Let's go and do the formalities today."
"What?"
Uncle Fatty, who was making tea for Zuo Yi, was stunned. "What money?"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Of course it's the money to buy the land."
Uncle Fatty was stunned and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. "Are you kidding me? You have 500 million now?"
Last time, when Zuo Yi told him that he wanted to buy the Zhong Family's more than 300 acres of land, he only thought that Zuo Yi was joking.
Zuo Yi was a little guy who lived by renting the land. How could he take out 500 million in cash? Uncle Fatty thought that he knew Zuo Yi very well, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
During this time, he was still arguing with Jiangnan New City Group. Both sides were in a deadlock.
The other party had already offered 220 million, but he was not satisfied at all.
However, even though he was dissatisfied, Uncle Fatty knew that he would have to compromise sooner or later.
He never expected that Zuo Yi would suddenly come to him today and say that he had gathered a huge sum of 500 million. How could he believe it!
Zuo Yi didn't waste any time. He took out his phone and showed him the balance in his account.
Uncle Fatty: "…"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Like I said, we can trade now."
"Wait."
Uncle Fatty wiped his sweat and said, "Let me think about it first."
He tried hard to adjust his emotions, then swallowed and asked, "Little Zuo, where did you get so much money?"
Uncle Fatty didn't doubt the authenticity of Zuo Yi's account because there was no need for Zuo Yi to create a scam that could be easily exposed. However, as an elder who had watched Zuo Yi grow up, he felt that it was his responsibility to figure out the truth.
No matter what, the Zuo Family and the Zhong Family had a long history.
"I sold some things."
Zuo Yi replied honestly, "The source of the money is clean, and it has been taxed."
Was it a treasure left by the ancestors of the Zuo Family?
Uncle Fatty suddenly realized that he had found the truth, "That's good, that's good."
He sighed and said, "Since you have the money, then today's deal is fine. I have one less thing on my mind."
Uncle Fatty was also very straightforward. After confirming that Zuo Yi was not joking, he immediately took the land deed and other relevant documents and went to the real estate exchange in Hangzhou with Zuo Yi.
There was already a lawyer waiting for him.
This lawyer was invited by Zuo Yi through Zhou Hong. Because the transaction of perpetual land involved quite a lot of problems, it would be much more convenient to have a professional lawyer to assist in the process.
The lawyer was also a witness to the transaction.
Both parties completed the transfer procedures at the real estate exchange. After signing the contract, Zuo Yi transferred 500 million in cash to Uncle Fatty's account, paid 100 million in deed tax, and took over the latter's 300 acres of land.
Da Xia was a country with low taxes and low welfare. For example, the standard personal income tax was only 12.5%, and ordinary wage earners also had a tax-free limit. Compared to many other countries, where taxes were easily 40% or 40%, it was undoubtedly much more conscientious.
Of course, the national welfare was also very little. If one wanted to get protection from old age, illness and death, they had to buy insurance with their own money.
100 million in deed tax was undoubtedly amazing, much higher than the tax. In fact, the tax rate for ordinary real estate transfer was not high, only the perpetual land tax rate reached 20%.
According to the usual transaction rules, this money was also paid by Zuo Yi.
Therefore, in order to buy the land, he actually paid a huge sum of more than 600 million.
But for Zuo Yi, this amount of money was nothing at all. The magic crystals he fed Tai last night were worth more than a billion!
However, due to the transaction process, Zuo Yi still needed a few days to get the new deed and certificate. But except for the old house, all the land of the Zhong family had already been under his name.
Not only did Zuo Yi continue to retain the "throne" of the number one landlord in Linjiang Town, but the perpetual land area he owned had also expanded to almost 1,300 acres!
"It's like returning the land to its rightful owner."
At noon, Uncle Fatty was rarely generous. He invited Zuo Yi to eat at the top West Lake Restaurant in Hangzhou. After three rounds of drinks, he said with emotion, "I don't know if I will be scolded for being a wastrel when I see my ancestors after I die."
There was a reason why Uncle Fatty said that the land should be returned to its rightful owner. Most of the 300 acres of land that he gave to Zuo Yi used to belong to the Zuo Family. It was the land that the Zuo Family sold during their decline and was bought by the Zhong Family.
However, although the Zuo family had declined greatly, the Zhong family was not much better. Now, among the famous families in Hangzhou, there was no name for these two families. They were like brothers in distress.
Therefore, compared to the Jiangnan New City Group, Uncle Fatty was more than happy to sell his land to Zuo Yi.
But he was also worried about Zuo Yi. "Little Zuo, you have to be careful of the Jiangnan New City Group. They are not easy to deal with."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Fatty, I dare to buy your land, I am not afraid of them!"
Zuo Yi was full of confidence, so Uncle Fatty did not say anything more. "Come, let's have another toast!"
After eating and drinking, Zuo Yi and Uncle Fatty returned to Linjiang Town together.
Uncle Fatty took him to see the land, because there were some things that needed to be explained.
Uncle Fatty's land of more than 300 acres was connected to the land of the Zuo family. He had rented another 300 acres from Zuo Yi, and combined nearly 700 acres of land to build a vegetable factory to grow green and pollution-free vegetables to supply to the city of Hangzhou.
Seven high-tech greenhouses were built on the 700 acres of land, using modern automatic management and soilless cultivation technology. The annual profit was quite good.
But now, except for the greenhouses, the equipment was basically dismantled. The employees of the vegetable factory had been dismissed, and all the plants had been harvested. There was nothing left inside.
"If I had known that the land would be sold to you, I would not have liquidated it."
Uncle Fatty said with annoyance, "I would have left it all to you."
Uncle Fatty was ready to let the Jiangnan New City Group take over. In order not to let those bastards take advantage of him, he closed the factory in advance, dismissed the employees, and sold all the equipment.
If it were not for the labor cost of dismantling the greenhouses was much higher than selling the waste materials, he would not have stayed.
"It's okay."
Zuo Yi said with a smile, "I don't plan to run the factory. It's best to clean it up like this."
He touched his chin, wondering what the land should be used for.
One of the biggest advantages of perpetual land was that it did not restrict the use of the land. As long as it was not in the city and did not violate the law, it would be fine to do whatever he wanted.
Of course, Zuo Yi would not mess around with his own land.
He had an idea. He wondered if he should build a fairytale theme park here, so that the Bao'er could play in the amusement park every day in front of their house, and ensure that there were no old men who set up balloon stalls to fool people.
The more Zuo Yi thought about it, the better he felt the idea was.
As for how much it would cost to build such a theme park and how much it would cost to run it, he did not care.
There was nothing that a bottle of potion could not solve. If there was, then he would have another bottle!
"Okay then …"
Just as Zuo Yi was thinking, Uncle Fatty patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Zuo, now that the land is sold, I plan to go to Treasure Island in a few days and retire there. If you have the opportunity to come to Treasure Island in the future, remember to come find me!"
Zuo Yi agreed, "Okay."
Although Uncle Fatty was a bit stingy, he was still a very good person.
But when he left, Linjiang Zhong's family would completely become history. As a neighbor for many years, Zuo Yi thought about it and felt very emotional.
Romantic people will always be blown away by the wind and rain!
