Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

Behind this farmhouse courtyard was a dense bamboo forest, enclosing most of the courtyard. The courtyard gate was on the right side, next to an open space that could park four or five cars. Half of the courtyard was made of earthen walls, and the other half was an enclosed space surrounded by iron sheets, covered with colored steel tiles. The entire courtyard covered an area of at least five or six hundred square meters.

If this place were to be transformed into an elegant place for 'surrounding the stove and boiling tea,' the renovation costs could be very considerable. Just removing these iron sheets and colored steel tiles would cost tens of thousands.

But for Ren Zhong, he simply wanted to create a simple laboratory and warehouse, and the current state basically met his needs.

The place was large enough and far enough away from other neighbors. The nearest household was at least four or five hundred meters away, so even if there was any noise, ordinary people wouldn't notice it.

Ren Zhong looked around. Three or four hundred meters in front of the courtyard, there was a pond of two or three acres, but the water inside was not clear. It was unknown whether it was due to ducks moving around in it or other reasons. On both sides of the pond were vegetable plots. It was unknown whose cabbages and celery were only half harvested. In front of the pond was a forest, and then a leaf-covered path led down the mountain to an unknown destination.

Ren Zhong nodded. If the price wasn't too expensive, this would be the place!

He knocked on the door and waited for a long time, but no one came out. He took out his phone and called the owner.

"Hello, is this Boss Li? My name is Ren Zhong. I heard that your courtyard in Bamboo Forest Village is available for rent. Is it convenient to talk now? If it's suitable, I'll rent it," Ren Zhong said directly, stating his intentions.

"Hello, Boss Ren. Yes, yes, yes, I want to rent out the house in Bamboo Forest Village. Can I ask what you plan to use it for? It's okay to open farmhouses or tea gardens there, but you can't open a factory, no matter what kind of factory," the other party said in a young woman's voice, paying close attention to Ren Zhong's business.

"Boss Li, I won't use it to open a factory, nor will I do a farmhouse or tea garden. I'm just doing a little business. I have some daily sundries and need a place to store them, and occasionally I'll stay here for a night or two. There aren't many things, and they're not big items," Ren Zhong replied.

"Okay, Boss Ren, the annual rent for our courtyard is 25,000 yuan. Do you think that's okay? If there's no problem, we'll find a place to meet and chat, and then sign the contract," the other party said directly, quoting a price.

"Boss Li, I sincerely want to rent it. Can you lower the price a bit? I heard that Old Liu's place in front only rents for 18,000 yuan. If you lower the price a bit, I'll rent it for 18,000 yuan," Ren Zhong bargained. At 25,000 yuan, that would be over 2,000 yuan a month. The tea garden on Old Liu's side was similar in size to this place and was indeed rented for 18,000 yuan. Ren Zhong had specifically inquired about it.

After all, this place was a bit far from the city, and the environmental conditions were no longer suitable for living. If it was just a warehouse, it wouldn't be as convenient as a factory warehouse in the suburbs.

"Boss Ren, since you know the market price, how about this? I won't charge you too much. The pond in front of our courtyard, as well as the two vegetable plots next to the pond, also belong to our family. Adding them together, I'll charge you 20,000 yuan a year. Is that okay?" the other party countered directly without waiting long.

Being able to negotiate down 5,000 yuan at once, Ren Zhong felt that it was almost right. The pond and vegetable plots were worth an extra two thousand yuan. Although he didn't know what to do with them now, having such a big pond would be a good pastime to put some fish in it and fish for fun. He could also have another entertainment program here.

"Okay, let's settle on that price. Boss Li, when is it convenient for us to meet and sign the contract?" Ren Zhong decisively decided.

"Let's meet at Sifang Tea Garden in Huangshui Town after 12 noon. Just ask any local in Huangshui and they'll know how to get there," the other party said.

It's good to have money in hand; everything goes more smoothly. Ren Zhong walked around the courtyard to make sure there were no problems, then returned to his Wuling Hongguang minivan and navigated to Sifang Tea Garden in Huangshui.

However, Ren Zhong didn't plan to renovate the soon-to-be-acquired courtyard, so these things wouldn't be needed for the time being. When he arrived at Sifang Tea Garden, he saw that it wasn't yet 12 o'clock, so Ren Zhong simply ordered a simple meal and waited.

Perhaps because it was Tuesday, there weren't many people in the tea garden, only Ren Zhong and the waiter.

Ren Zhong wasn't in a hurry after finishing his meal. He ordered a cup of tea and sat there, looking at some information about the Anti-Japanese War on his phone, focusing on the Japanese devils' raids in Jin-Sui. Now that he had traveled to the world of '亮剑' (Bright Sword), he found that some important events there were different from history.

Although he didn't know if it was because of the changes in time and space, or if the things he was seeing now were incomplete, leading to inconsistencies in his understanding.

So, when Ren Zhong had time, he would look at more information on this aspect, whether it was official history or unofficial history. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to know more information.

While he was engrossed in reading, suddenly the phone rang. Ren Zhong looked up and saw a woman in her thirties standing at the entrance of the tea garden, making a phone call. Ren Zhong glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Boss Li, whom he had arranged to meet earlier. He answered the phone and stood up, "Hello, Boss Li? I'm at the tea garden. Look to the left, here."

Ren Zhong waved, and sure enough, the woman was Boss Li looking for him.

"Boss Ren, hello, I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Boss Li said, wearing a beige wool coat, carrying a large satchel, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her slightly made-up face looked very delicate, giving Ren Zhong a sense of intellectual beauty.

"It's okay, it's okay, Boss Li, you're too polite. I just arrived not long ago. Please sit down, Boss Li. What would you like to drink? I'll order you a cup," Ren Zhong said with a smile, inviting Boss Li to sit opposite him.

"A cup of chrysanthemum tea, no sugar," Boss Li said to the waiter who came over.

"Okay, one cup of chrysanthemum tea, no sugar," the waiter turned and left.

"Boss Ren, since we have no disagreement on the price, the main thing is to sign the contract, and then I'll give you the keys. That's it. I've already printed out the contract. Please take a look, Boss Ren. If there are no problems, we'll sign the contract," Boss Li seemed to be a decisive person. After sitting down, she took out two copies of the contract documents from her satchel.

Ren Zhong took it and quickly looked through it. This contract was obviously a standard contract downloaded online, only modifying the address and contract price. It was basically no different from the rental contracts Ren Zhong had signed before. One month's deposit, with the option of paying half a year or a year at a time.

"I don't see any problems. As for the rent, I'll pay you for a year. I see that there's no furniture list on this, so there's no need for a deposit, right?" Ren Zhong said.

"Okay, the deposit is waived. The courtyard currently has running water and electricity. There's a telecom broadband line, but because we moved away long ago, it's been canceled. If Boss Ren wants to use it, you'll have to go to Telecom and activate it yourself," Boss Li said quickly, without much entanglement or calculation.

"Boss Li, if it's convenient, let's add each other on WeChat so I can easily transfer the money to you. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to bring cash," Ren Zhong said, brushing his ID card and signing his name, and then said to Boss Li.

"No problem, scan me," Boss Li took out her phone and opened the WeChat QR code. The two quickly became friends.

Ren Zhong looked at the WeChat name, 'XX School Li Junmei,' guessing that it was her real name, and asked, "Boss Li, what do you do? I see that there's a school name in your information. Are you a teacher?"

"Yes, I teach mechanical drawing at the technical college in town. This WeChat account is my work account, and it generally doesn't change," Boss Li didn't mean to hide anything.

No wonder, when Ren Zhong heard that she was a university teacher, he felt a sense of respect.

"So it's Teacher Li, I'm so sorry, I'll call you Teacher Li from now on," Ren Zhong said.

"It doesn't matter. I wonder what kind of business Boss Ren is in. Is it convenient to say?" Teacher Li said with a smile.

"It's like this, I just quit my job and plan to do live streaming and sell goods. I haven't decided which type to focus on yet. Anyway, I'll do it first and see," Ren Zhong didn't really think about what kind of business to do in reality to cover up his actions.

Anyway, live streaming and selling goods are popular now, so he just made one up casually.

"Live streaming and selling goods is currently a trend. I think Mr. Ren is quite young, only 25 years old. It's a good thing to try," Teacher Li said with a smile, "Then I'll use tea instead of wine to wish Mr. Ren success in his business!"

"Thank you!" Ren Zhong raised his tea to express his gratitude.

Neither of them thought that they were just casual acquaintances, but they would soon have an intersection again.
