With the successful handling of the family farm and the start of construction of a greenhouse, Zeng Zhi was idle for a while. He delivered vegetables to his elder sister's restaurant and his own vegetable supermarket every day, and he didn't have to worry about anything else. So Zeng Zhi focused on another thing.

Whether it is the dishes delivered to my elder sister's restaurant or the agricultural products sold in vegetable supermarkets, there are fish. Although Zeng Zhi has established a vegetable production base and can explain the origin of vegetables when others notice him, there is no good excuse for the origin of these fish.

Therefore, the most important thing he is to rent a large area of ​​water, raise some fish, and provide cover for the fish produced in the Qinglian Secret Realm.

However, as a village located in a mountainous area, there is no large lake reservoir, but only two or three small ponds with an area of ​​about one acre.

Not only is it combined with the village, but there are very few lake reservoirs in the entire Zhongpai Township. Zeng Zhi knew that if the area exceeds one square kilometer, there were only two or three of the entire township. Moreover, Zeng Zhi didn’t know whether these lake reservoirs had been contracted.

Although Zeng Zhi didn't understand, there was one person who must know it. It was naturally his grandfather Zeng Lingxu. After all, as the old secretary of the village and the director of the village committee, he not only knew the situation in the village very well, but also knew the situation in the whole township.

So Zeng Zhi found his grandfather and asked, "By the way, Gaozu, do we have lakes or reservoirs in our village that are not for rent? I plan to rent one or two, preferably a little bigger."

Zeng Lingxu thought for a while and said, "Our village originally had no big lake and reservoir, and there were not many in the township, and most of them were rented out, and now there is only one left."

Zeng Zhi heard another one, and he was delighted and asked, "Which one?"

"Datouwa." Zeng Lingxu said.

Zeng Zhi was even happier and said, "No one has rented Datuowa yet? That's great."

Datuowa is the largest lake in Zhongpai Township. To be precise, it is a reservoir with an area of ​​2.1 square kilometers, which is more than 3,000 acres. If you raise fish by yourself, it is definitely enough. Moreover, the water quality of this reservoir is very good, and if you raise fish by yourself, it is absolutely suitable.

Zeng Zhi asked: "How long is the maximum rental period and how much is the rent?"

"The national regulations are 30 years. As for rent, I heard that the village's requirement is 200 yuan/mu/year, but many people think it is expensive. After all, the reservoir is not small. If it is 200 yuan, the annual rent will be more than 600,000 yuan, so I haven't rented it out for a long time. You are a local and a college student back to your hometown to start a business. I will talk to the village to see if you can get it at a price of 100 yuan/mu/year." Zeng Lingxu said.

Zeng Zhi nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Gaozu. However, it's best to negotiate the price issue. If I can't negotiate, I decided to rent it."

For Zeng Zhi now, there is actually not much difference between 300,000 and 600,000. The most important thing is to obtain the lease contract for this water area. In that case, no matter how many fish Zeng Zhi has, he can be sold with confidence. After all, the water depth of the reservoir is more than 3,000 acres, and the average water depth of the reservoir reaches five meters. Even if the annual output per mu is 1,000 kilograms, the annual fish that this reservoir can produce is more than 3 million kilograms.

……………………

Zeng Lingxu was a decisive person. After agreeing to Zeng Zhi, he immediately went to the village. Just an hour later, he called Zeng Zhi and the village agreed to rent Datuowa to him. Considering that he was a local young man who returned to his hometown to start a business, the village also gave great discounts on rent, which was the price Zeng Lingxu had told Zeng Zhi before - 100 yuan/mu/year, paid every five years, and the lease period was 30 years.

Zeng Zhi was very happy and drove to the village immediately. On the same day, he signed a lease contract for Datuowa with the township government and paid a deposit of 75,000 yuan. The remaining rent for the first five years will be paid by the end of this year, otherwise the village will recover the contract rights.

……………………

After getting done with a big thing again, Zeng Zhi was very happy when he returned home, sitting alone in the yard, imagining a bright future.

"Dazhi, Dazhi!" Just as Zeng Zhi was drooling alone, he heard someone calling him.

Zeng Zhi looked up and saw a motorcycle slid to his doorstep, and two familiar figures got out of the car.

Zeng Zhi smiled and greeted, "Chuidong? Qinyong? When did you come back?"

In terms of seniority, one is his uncle and the other is his nephew. However, they have played together since they wore open-crotch pants, so they all call their names directly in private except for some public places.

Both of his two junior college students have good grades. Since the first grade of elementary school, they and Zeng Zhi have almost monopolized the top three in the class. Moreover, even if one of them performs abnormally occasionally, they will basically not fall outside the five.

When they were in junior high school, the three of them were admitted to the junior high school in the city together, and it happened that they were all in the same class.

However, when they were in junior high school, their grades had begun to rise. Zeng Zhi was a top student as always, and he always maintained the top three in the class and the top three in the grade. Because their class is a key class, the top ten in the school are basically in their class. Zeng Chuidong and Zeng Qinyong's grades are slightly worse, and they are basically in the ten in the class.

Later, they were admitted to Gucheng No. 1 Middle School together, which is the best high school in the southeast area of ​​Jiangdu and a key high school in Jiangdu.

This has become the turning point for the three of them.

Zeng Zhi continued his academic experience as a top student, basically maintaining the top two in the class and the top ten in the whole grade. However, during the first college entrance examination, he performed a little abnormally. The prestigious school he applied for the first choice failed to go to and fell into the second choice. However, he was also a 985-211 university in Beijing. However, Zeng Zhi, who was arrogant, did not go and chose to repeat the year and finally went to the University of Science and Technology.

After entering high school, Zeng Qinyong, who was in the same class as Zeng Zhi, was taken care of by Zeng Zhi, and he worked hard and his grades were OK. He was basically in the top ten in the class and top 10 in the school. During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Southwest University and now teaches in a high school in Jiangdu.
