Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Gao Daqing Arrives

Just after finishing a phone call, several off-road vehicles drove into Qingyuan Village.

Ji Yang had also received a call from Hu Guomin, the Party Secretary of the county.

"Ji, you must properly receive Comrade Gao Daqing, who is leading a team to your area for an inspection. I have assigned Zhou to accompany them."

Although Hu Guomin didn’t say much extra, his intention to show great importance was clear. By sending his own secretary, it signaled extreme importance.

Right after this call ended, County Chief He Yongyuan also called, telling Ji Yang that he had sent Director Wang Mingchang from the office to follow, in case Comrade Gao Daqing needed any assistance with anything.

Hearing this, Ji Yang’s expression grew solemn—it really was different when the governor’s son came to visit.

After informing Huang Yu, both went out to meet them.

Regardless, since the county had called to stress these matters, Ji Yang couldn’t take them lightly.

Upon reaching the parking area, he saw the vehicles had just pulled up and some people were getting out.

As Ji Yang approached, a young man stepped out of a vehicle. He was obviously wearing expensive clothes, sported sunglasses, and had a crew cut.

Following him, a beautiful woman also alighted from the vehicle.

Looking at the woman, she seemed to be in her twenties with an ethereal quality, which gave Ji Yang a familiar feeling.

After a moment, Ji Yang remembered; it seemed like he had seen this woman in some TV drama—she was the lead actress.

As people continued to disembark from several vehicles, Director Wang Mingchang had also got out.

Wang Mingchang jogged over, saying, "County Chief Ji, hello."

Ji Yang smiled and said, "You’ve had a hard journey."

The young nobleman then approached with a smile and extended his hand to Ji Yang, "County Chief Ji, sorry to trouble you."

This young man was smooth, not putting on airs.

"Welcome, President Gao, to our county for your inspection."

"Haha, County Chief Ji, you’re too polite. I’ve long admired your reputation."

As they talked, they headed towards the conference room.

In any case, since Gao Daqing was here for an investment inspection, Ji Yang naturally treated him like an investor.

At this time, the local people accompanied them inside and sat down.

After sitting down, Gao Daqing looked towards Huang Yu, Liu Yun, and Qian Huixian, his eyes lighting up, he praised, "There are many beautiful women in Qingyuan Village!"

Ji Yang chuckled and said, "Qingyuan Village is doing quite well these days. Mayor Huang, why don’t you introduce our village to us?"

If it had been someone else, there wouldn’t be such a need to pay such attention, but it was different for the Governor’s son.

Of course, Ji Yang also believed that Gao Daqing was well aware of his situation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so courteous just now.

"Sure."

Gao Daqing responded, then began to introduce the people who had come with him, referring to the beautiful woman as the star, Sophie.

Huang Yu began a serious introduction to all aspects of Qingyuan Village, mentioning many potential investment opportunities.

These types of meetings naturally didn’t have much to discuss. After the introduction, Gao Daqing said, "County Chief Ji, you probably understand why we’ve come. We would like to acquire ten thousand mu of land in Wushu Village for farming purposes. I wonder if the village can help us with this. Don’t worry, money is no issue."

This young man was very direct!

Ji Yang said, "Let’s first ask Mayor Huang to introduce the land situation in Wushu Village."

Huang Yu, prepared for this, began detailing the situation precisely.

Gao Daqing listened attentively.

After the explanation, Huang Yu said, "Due to the booming rice wine sales, the land in Wushu Village has rapidly appreciated. Consequently, everyone rushed there to lease land. I won’t lie to you; even the mountaintops have been leased out. The only thing we can do is collect a transfer fee during their transactions and help with the paperwork."

One of Gao Daqing’s associates then spoke firmly, "President Gao has come to greatly develop agriculture. Ten thousand mu of land can bring substantial revenue to your village. We can offer a price higher than the market rate for the land. We ask Qingyuan Village’s government to help coordinate this."

Ji Yang said, "We are definitely willing to coordinate, and as for whether the lessees are willing to transfer, that will depend on your offered price. I believe that if the price is right, there will be people ready to transfer."

The transfer prices for land in Wushu Village had already reached astronomical levels, and Ji Yang didn’t believe Gao Daqing would really be willing to pay such high prices. Moreover, many knew that land was a golden egg-laying goose—not easily relinquished.

Sure enough, Gao Daqing frowned, "I heard that the transfer prices are very high now?"

Huang Yu responded, "It’s not about being high. Let me give you a breakdown: one mu of land can yield a hundred pounds of rice per planting season, plus the herbal crops; they can directly brew hundreds of pounds of rice wine. Just ten pounds of rice wine sell for over a million. Tell me, do those who own the land want to sell?"

Everyone fell silent at this.

Gao Daqing’s expression also became quite grim.
