Tiger Police

Chapter 389 Road

"After running for more than a month, this matter still has not been settled. I was getting more and more uncertain, but I really wanted to make this business, so I specifically found Ding Yongtai and asked him if he had any specific intention to buy land. ? Or is it just lip service and actually has a goal?"

"Because the wishes of customers are sometimes elusive. Sometimes they have already taken a fancy to which land to buy, but after seeing other land, they have new ideas. Price, location, soil quality, and other things Water...all kinds of factors. Instead of taking the time and effort to show them more, it's better to just ask."

"Ding Yongtai is not ambiguous. He said that he was not satisfied with the ones he saw before. He doesn't like the hustle and bustle of the city, so he went to the village to buy land and build houses. But the land plots I recommended to him are all in the outskirts of the city. , Usually it’s okay, many people go out on weekends, so it’s no different from staying in the city.”

"I understood what he said, so I found a few more pieces of land far away from the city, but Ding Yongtai was still not satisfied."

"After running for a long time, we became familiar with each other. He asked me if I have a remote area in the mountains? The more remote the better."

After hearing this sentence, Hu Pingtao also felt strange: "The more remote the better...then it's better to go directly to the deep mountains and old forests, to be isolated from the world."

Wang Yongxin said: "I thought so too at the time. It's like the boss in the movie "Party A and Party B", who wanted to live a hard life, and finally ate all the chickens in the village... I thought Ding Yongtai was joking, but later Find out he's telling the truth."

"Similar plots do exist, but they are located in remote locations, and the most important thing is that they are not accessible by road."

"I took him to Dongchuan. There is a village over there, which is the key target of poverty alleviation in the province. There are several hills in the village with few trees, and they are basically barren."

Hu Pingtao asked curiously: "Did he like it?"

Wang Yongxin nodded: "The land price over there is very cheap. The annual rent for an acre of land is only a few hundred yuan, which is like free. I mean the mountainous land, which has no development value. The whole mountain is full of stones. There is only a thin layer of soil on the surface, even if the trees are planted, they will not grow high, and there is no economic input value. Anyone with a normal mind would not go to such a place to buy land.”

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Go ahead."

Wang Yongxin said: "But it is such a place, and Ding Yongtai is very satisfied. He signed with the village for [-] acres, and the location is on a gentle slope to the west of the village. The terrain is open and there is no problem in building a house, but it is far away from the water source. , and there is no electricity, and the straight-line distance is two kilometers by taking over the pipe and cable alone.”

"I'm just a businessman. There are some things that I can't manage, and I can't control them. Anyway, I will do as the customer asks. Ding Yongtai will transfer the money to the account of the village committee when signing the contract. He paid in one go. The five-year rent is said to be paid according to this rule in the future."

Hu Pingtao felt more and more unbelievable: "Pay once every five years? This seems unreasonable!"

Wang Yongxin said: "I also felt that something was wrong at the time. Although it is a wasteland that no one wants, the annual rent is only a few hundred yuan per mu, but tens of mu is a big number, not to mention paying the rent for five years at a time... …If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing to say anything! At most, I would pay for many years. Wouldn’t it be good to put the money in the bank for interest, or to invest in other areas? Year's money, there is no need for this at all!"

"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Many homestay owners are willing to pay off the rent in advance. So this idea was just in my mind at the time, and I didn't think about it anymore."

"Ding Yongtai gave me a commission. This matter is settled."

"Our country has been engaged in poverty alleviation. As a housing agency, we must always pay attention to the above policies. I usually read the news. Last month, I saw on my mobile phone that the country has increased its assistance policies for poor areas. Go in and take a look at the poverty alleviation areas in Yunnan Province."

"Seeing Dongchuan on the form, I immediately thought of Ding Yongtai."

"There happened to be a client who was going to look at the house that day. When I drove him to Dongchuan, I happened to pass by the village where Ding Yongtai sold. That day, the client and I drove separately, and we finished the work at noon, and he left. , I’ll go my way. I’m really curious because there’s no one around the land, and it’s impossible to have any economic output. Ding Yongtai is willing to spend money to buy that land, obviously he is not short of money.”

Hu Pingtao expressed his understanding: "Do you want to see what kind of house he built?"

Wang Yongxin was a little embarrassed by the words, and nodded: "When I went back to the city that day, I deliberately turned a corner and went to the village. Because after going down the highway, I passed the market town in the direction of the rented land, and there was no road after that. I have to find a place to park and walk for more than an hour."

"I used to park my car at the village committee when I went to that place. Otherwise, some children in the village would be mischievous and often break the wipers on the windshield. If they parked on the side of the road, the car would be destroyed. But when I drove the car off Expressway, walked for a while towards the village committee, and suddenly found a fork on the side of the road."

Wang Yongxin said while gesticulating: "The all-concrete road is very new. The key is that the road at the fork is wide enough for two large trucks to sit side by side."

"Wait!" Hu Pingtao interrupted: "You mean, when you went there before, there was no fork in the road?"

Wang Yongxin replied seriously: "Two employees in our office are from Dongchuan. A few years ago they invited me to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year and eat pig-killing rice. That's the road I took. It's an old road, a third-grade road, because There is a lack of maintenance, the road surface is very damaged, and no one cares about it. Some places are really damaged and unsightly, so they are paved with gravel.”

"Building roads is not an easy task, and it costs a lot of money. Many village roads are gravel roads, and cars with poor-quality tires are enough to drive around. The fork did not exist at all before, and it is still brand new concrete now. The pavement. At that time, I felt strange, thinking that the government spent money to invest in the construction."

"I didn't think much about it, so I just drove on the road and headed in that direction. But after driving more than 200 meters, I turned around the mountain ridge, and saw a road pole in front of me, guarded by a special person, and there was a very eye-catching sign next to it: private territory, Forbidden."

"The man guarding the road was wearing a security uniform. He stopped my car and asked me what was the matter. I made up an excuse, saying that I saw that the road was newly built, so I wanted to see where it led. The security guard said that there is a manor built on it, which is a private place, and they are not allowed to enter, so they asked me to reverse the car."

Hu Pingtao stared at Wang Yongxin, speaking slowly: "This kind of thing is very common."

"It is very common, but I think it is unreasonable." Wang Yongxin explained: "I know that the so-called owner of the manor must be Ding Yongtai, but I also know the actual situation of that land. Regardless of whether Ding Yongtai has money or not, he is willing to Spending money is his business. But this road is not that simple—the village is really poor, and the nearby land is all in the mountains. It’s a lot of kilometers, but everyone who drives knows that the car has to go up and down the winding mountain road, and it takes several kilometers to go around.”

"I went back to the fork and got out of the car to take a look. The road was well repaired and the cost was very high. This is a lot of money. Is it really necessary to do this if it is just to build a house in the mountains? ?”

"I've seen a lot of rich people. There are also a few who build their own houses in the mountains, and some spend money to build roads for their own convenience. But the roads are not long, at most about one kilometer, and the houses are also built in the mountains. A place with good scenery, surrounded by lush vegetation, mountains and water."

Hu Pingtao had some concerns in his mind: "So you suspect that Ding Yongtai bought land there for another purpose?"

Wang Yongxin nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "...Maybe I was thinking too much. When I was young, my family was poor, and every penny had to be counted. When I grew up, I worked and my income was not bad, but I always I feel that luxury should not be wasted. I know that rich people think differently from ordinary people. 10,000+ brand-name clothes, cosmetics, bags and so on are nothing to them. But even if they are tens of millions or billionaires, the money They earned it by themselves, so there is no reason to throw it into the water!"

"Ding Yongtai's information registered in the agency shows that he is in the foreign trade clothing business."

"Buying land in that kind of place that doesn't shit, paid five years' rent in one go, and built a special road to connect the land with the outside... This can no longer be described as "local tyrant". The brain is sick."

"For that road alone, the construction cost is not a small number, at least several million."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao interrupted again: "How do you know the specific cost of his construction of that road?"

Wang Yongxin explained: "I graduated from a technical school. I used to take engineering subjects in school, and later worked on construction sites outside, so I know a little about this aspect."

"Let's talk about cement pavement, which is generally six meters wide and 24 centimeters thick. This is a conventional construction standard. Among them, the cost of concrete materials, that is, concrete materials, is about 120 yuan. Labor costs such as pouring, maintenance, slitting, and formwork support There are more than 80 pieces together with auxiliary materials. The roadbed is 30 centimeters of cement stabilized gravel plus 400 grades of crushed stone, about [-] to [-] per square meter. The other is paving, rolling, maintenance and The cost of labor and machinery is [-] yuan per square meter, plus profit and so on... In short, it is about [-] yuan per square meter."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "I didn't see it! You have quite a lot of experience in this field."

Wang Yongxin also smiled: "That cement road cannot be repaired without 200 million yuan. I understand how rich people don't take money seriously. If it is about being competitive with women, or playing cards and mahjong and spending a lot of money, that's a big deal. It’s all normal. But it’s hard to justify trying to build a road in that kind of place.”

"I think Ding Yongtai may be working on some kind of project."

Hu Pingtao followed his words and asked, "Investment? But as you said just now, the place is very remote, and there is no crop growing in the field. What is there to invest in?"

Wang Yongxin lowered his voice: "It's hard to talk about this kind of thing! These days, a lot of investment is shady. Let's just talk about men! Everyone has needs in that regard. In ancient times, it was a legal business to open a women's branch, and it must not be done now. But when people have money, they have to find a place to spend it, especially men, wearing a Versace suit, wearing a nigger on their wrist, and getting a top-notch sports car... It's not enough to have money and looks, what they need is women, and Come here for other stimuli."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao's eyes instantly became sharp: "You mean, Ding Yongtai built a manor and house in the mountains for the purpose of engaging in pornographic business?"

Wang Yongxin said: "At first I really thought so. Because I have seen and heard a lot of similar things. Our country's laws are becoming more and more sound, prohibiting pornography and gambling. In the past, many bars and nightclubs had this kind of project. As long as There are all kinds of women who are willing to spend money. Later, these colored business establishments were destroyed, and your police often patrolled and controlled them very strictly. Those operators had no choice but to move to other places.”

"For rich people, as long as they are willing to play, the distance is not a problem. As long as they have fun, there is essentially no difference whether it is a manor on the mountain or a club in the city. Strictly speaking, twenty acres of land is not too big, plus The water and electricity supporting facilities, and the concrete road leading to the mountain, all add up, I estimate that Ding Yongtai spent about 1000 million."

"If it is a serious business, in that kind of place, the investment will not be recovered at all."

"But if it's a colorful business, plus gambling and making money, it will soon pay back."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you ever sneaked to the manor on the mountain?"

Wang Yongxin was stunned: "... how do you know?"

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "What you just said is too detailed, it doesn't seem like it can be deduced by guessing."

Wang Yongxin honestly admitted: "Yes, I have been there... I couldn't drive in that day, so I turned around and went back to the foot of the mountain. I usually like to read detective novels, and I think this is unreasonable. I parked the car at the village committee. , I found a restaurant in the town to have dinner, and inquired about the situation by the way."

"People in the vicinity said that they had never been to the manor on the mountain, and that the cement road had just been repaired not long ago. It seems that after Ding Yongtai signed a contract to buy land last time, he contacted the village committee again and bought the surrounding land in one go. One hundred acres of land, it is claimed to be a "small tourism experience area"."

Hu Pingtao was also surprised: "Over a hundred acres? Are you sure?"

Wang Yongxin nodded: "I made a special trip to the village committee to confirm this matter. The village party secretary over there is very familiar with me. He said that after Ding Yongtai signed the contract to buy land for the first time, a month later, he found He negotiated again and bought the surrounding [-] mu of land at a cheaper price."
