Are you dissatisfied with the price?

“Hmm!”

“700-800, 400-500.”

Listening to Qin Hong, Chen Mo’s eyebrows raised slightly.

The highest price and the lowest price differed by half.

If he rented the land at the lowest price, wouldn’t he be paying half as much? How could that be allowed?

However, after a moment of thought, he slowly spoke.

“A price of 400-500 is too low and inappropriate. We’re not renting these orchards for one or two years, but for "ten years". If the rainfall is normal next year, wouldn’t those fruit farmers feel that our price of 400-500 is a bit too low?”

“So, for long-term consideration, and also to hire these fruit farmers in the future, let’s directly offer 800.”

“Mr. Chen, do we really have to give that much?”

Qin Hong looked shocked. He had never seen a boss like this before. Other bosses tried to lower prices, but with Mr. Chen, it turned into voluntarily raising prices.

“Yes, give that much.”

Chen Mo nodded. At this moment, Wang Xilong also walked back from a distance, with Wang Siyu following him.

“Dad, when we discuss the price later, leave it to me,” Wang Siyu said as she walked.

Her father and the others had no experience in negotiations. If they were to discuss the price, she didn't know how much the price would be suppressed.

As she spoke, she had already arrived under the canopy, looked at Qin Hong and Chen Mo sitting inside, and said calmly.

“We’ve already discussed the price. The average price for renting land on our side is 600, so we want a price of 600 per mu.”

A price of 600 was naturally not her final price, but if she started with the lowest price, how could she bargain?

According to normal bargaining, the other party would certainly offer a very low price.

She was fully prepared at this moment to deal with the upcoming negotiation.

Qin Hong looked at Wang Siyu who had just spoken, then recalled Mr. Chen’s words, pondered for a moment, and slowly said.

“I just thought about it. We want to rent the orchards for a minimum of "ten years". Considering that not every year in these "ten years" will necessarily be a drought, to keep the fruit farmers’ minds at ease, we are offering the highest land rental price: 800 yuan per mu.”

“Moreover, after our agricultural base is established, we will need to recruit workers, and you fruit farmers can be chosen as candidates. As for wages, we will discuss them in detail later. But one thing I can guarantee is that it will absolutely not be worse than your earnings from working elsewhere.”

“Ah!”

Wang Siyu was stunned by Qin Hong’s words and didn’t react for a moment.

Shouldn’t it be about pushing for the lowest price, and then she would bargain? Why did they directly offer the highest local land rental price?

This wasn’t the normal bargaining process!

“Excuse me, are you dissatisfied with this price?” Qin Hong asked, looking at the stunned Wang Siyu.

Wang Siyu quickly came to her senses. No matter what, the other party had offered the highest local land rental price. She had no reason to refuse.

So she quickly nodded.

“I am very satisfied with this price.”

“Good then. In that case, let’s start signing the lease agreement. You can organize the villagers to come in line.”

Qin Hong said with a smile, while picking up the pre-printed lease agreement from the side.

Wang Siyu stood still, looking at the contract on the table, thought for a moment, and slowly said.

“Can I see the contract?”

Although through her observation just now, she hadn't seen anything amiss.

What’s more, she had a blind date with Chen Mo yesterday. Although she didn’t know his character, she knew he was from Beichuan City. If she wanted to inquire, she could find Chen Mo’s home address.

In that case, if Chen Mo was a swindler, even if Chen Mo ran away, there would still be his home.

Therefore, she had some trust at this point, but to confirm further, she still wanted to check if there were any tricks in the contract.

“Certainly.”

Qin Hong casually took out a contract and handed it over.

Wang Siyu reached out and took the contract from Qin Hong, examining it in detail.

After a while, she slowly raised her head, sighing deeply in her heart.

She knew she had overthought it; there were no swindlers here. It was entirely her being overly worried.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at her father.

“Dad, the contract is fine. We can sign it.”

After speaking, she walked to the side and watched quietly. She came because she was worried her father would be scammed, but she had now confirmed there was no deceptive behavior.

So she had nothing to worry about. At the same time, her gaze fell on Chen Mo, who was sitting under the canopy.

Her eyes held curiosity. During the blind date, because her father had to go out to work, and her own resistance to blind dates, she hadn't paid much attention to Chen Mo at the time. They had only chatted briefly, and after dinner, they each went home.

But seeing him again today, she felt a hint of curiosity.

At this moment, Wang Xilong also explained the matter of signing the contract and the price to the many fruit farmers who had been waiting for news in the distance.

The entire square immediately erupted in exclamations.

“Wang Xilong, you’re not joking, are you? 800 per mu?”

“Is that boss’s brain not fried? How could our land be worth 800 per mu?”

“Did you hear wrong?”

“Yeah, I thought 500 per mu would be pretty good, how could it be 800 per mu?”

“I think it’s all Siyu’s credit. University students are different; she managed to raise the price directly to 800 per mu. That’s amazing!”

“Wang Xilong, you really have a good daughter!”

“No wonder Siyu wanted to negotiate the price herself just now; she’s so capable!”

“…”

A group of fruit farmers surrounded Wang Xilong, speaking excitedly.

The land rental price doubled; anyone would be overjoyed.

Wang Xilong listened to the fruit farmers praising his daughter, feeling a bit embarrassed, and quickly waved his hand.

“Don’t misunderstand, my daughter didn’t do anything. It was Mr. Qin who directly offered the price.”

“But there are conditions. They need to rent the land for at least "ten years", so this time we will sign a "ten years" land lease contract at once. Once this contract is signed, we will not manage the orchards for "ten years". So you can consider it before making a decision.”

“Of course, there’s also news that after Mr. Qin’s agricultural base is established, it will need to recruit employees, and we can all participate. As for wages, they haven’t been discussed in detail yet, but it has been guaranteed that they will be better than what we earn from working elsewhere.”

Wang Xilong meticulously recounted everything Mr. Qin had just said.
