After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing what the old cat said, Xu Boan nodded to show his understanding.

Mountain excavation is an act of destroying the mountain, so it is naturally a very strict matter.

As for operating a tourist attraction, not only is the initial investment huge, but the subsequent income is also difficult to guarantee.

At present, many scenic spots built by others fail halfway through development, and some even perform poorly after development. This is not an investment that most people can afford.

What's more, there are too many things to worry about when doing cross-border business. Right now, the sand and gravel business of Lao Mao's projects is enough for him to worry about. He really doesn't have the time to take risks here.

To sum up, Lao Mao has been engaged in the sand and gravel business. If he wants to switch to the tourism industry, the difficulty will be extremely great.

However, although it was a very difficult task for the old cat, Xu Boan was somewhat interested in it.

I have no shortage of money, and in the current situation, I have plenty of time, too.

I have both money and time, and right now I also need a large, private place.

This place seemed like a good choice.

With this place, it will be more convenient for Xu Boan and the bonsai world to exchange some items.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said softly: "Old Cat, if you are not interested in this matter, how about giving this place to me?"

The old cat was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Ah! Mr. Xu, I don't understand what you mean? You like this place? Then you can use it. I don't have much use for it anyway."

Xu Bo'an smiled and nodded, saying, "You know, I just resigned recently and I haven't decided what to do yet. Your place is really good, and I think it's worth developing."

Lao Mao said hurriedly, "Mr. Xu, don't be impulsive. I have consulted with professionals before. If we want to develop this place into a 4A-level scenic spot, it will cost at least to billion yuan, and the profitability is difficult to assess. In addition, the contract here is only to years left. If we want to develop it, we have to negotiate the renewal first, which is also a considerable expense."

Xu Bo'an smiled and shook his head, saying, "You think too highly of me. I don't have so many ideas. I am planning to repair the courtyards in the village below, or build some small courtyards or wooden houses on the mountain side leaning against the fields. In addition to experiencing it myself, it would also be nice to invite friends to come and rest."

The old cat's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea. There's a pool of water further back, which is suitable for fishermen to relax. If we really follow your development ideas, Mr. Xu, the investment in this place won't be too big. Maybe it can even become a popular check-in spot. It will be very popular for city dwellers to come here to relax on weekends according to the model of homestays. It's also a way to make quick money."

Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I won't do that kind of internet celebrity check-in place model. It's too impetuous. I just think this place is close to nature, the environment and everything is pretty good, the transportation is pretty good, and it's not far from the city airport. It's suitable for people like me who are temporarily confused to live in seclusion and recuperate in peace."

The old cat smiled awkwardly and said, "Is that so? It seems that I am still shallow."

Xu Bo'an chuckled and said, "Okay, let's get back to the point. How much money did you pay for this place?"

The old cat waved his hands and said, "Why are you talking to me about money? Just use it if you need it. I really don't want to worry about this place anymore. Just think of it as helping me out and saving me the trouble."

Xu Bo'an said firmly: "Let's put things in perspective. We are brothers and we should be clear about our accounts. If you don't explain clearly, I won't dare to use your place."

Seeing Xu Bo'an's firm attitude, Lao Mao had no choice but to say, "It's really not much money. He originally owed me more than three million. I also looked at the contract for this place. The total is only two million for a fifty-year contract. And I consulted someone these two days. It's hard to find a customer who is interested in renting it out for five hundred thousand."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "How about this, I'll pay you one million, and you can subcontract this mountain to me. Find someone to draft a contract, and we'll finalize this matter in the near future."

Lao Mao said hurriedly, "No, I can't even rent out this place for 50 yuan, so how can I ask you for so much money? You can either use this place or pay me. If you really have to pay, I will only ask for yuan at most!"

Seeing that Lao Mao was firm in his tone, Xu Bo'an smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are such a stubborn guy. You don't want to make money even if you can. We have made it clear in advance. If I make a lot of money here later, you are not allowed to be jealous."

The old cat laughed and said, "Boss Xu, if you put it that way, I am really moved. Otherwise, you should not give me the money, but leave me 10% of the dividend."

Xu Boan knew that Lao Mao didn't want to take his money, so he immediately refused with a smile: "You are so beautiful. I don't like to do business with others. This is settled."

Everyone knows the difficulty of doing business in partnership. Unfortunately, partnership is a collusion of interests, which cannot be refused. However, things that can be done alone should naturally be done alone. Xu Boan's refusal was considered a polite refusal, and Lao Mao could naturally hear it.

Moreover, Xu Boan also had his own concerns. He certainly didn't want others to know what was inside the bonsai.

Therefore, Xu Boan wants to maintain absolute private ownership of this place!
The two of them quickly changed the topic of conversation. While they were talking, two young men came over from outside the mountain, carrying a steel stove with difficulty and walking towards them carefully.

This stove is a common heating stove used by northern families in winter, but its shape is much more unique. Due to the advanced casting technology, its safety factor is also very high.

When the old cat saw it, he smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "I've arranged for someone to go out and bring back a wood stove. The turtle soup inside has been stewed on the electric stove. I'll use the wood stove to simmer it for a while on low heat so that it will be more flavorful."

"Well! Not bad!" Xu Bo'an looked at the exquisite little stove and nodded politely, but he suddenly thought in his heart that it would be very convenient if this thing was placed in the bonsai world for the little guys in Kaoshan Village to use.

At present, because most people in Kaoshan Village live in the wooden earth building model provided by Xu Bo'an, they have to cook outside in most cases. After all, the risk of fire in a wooden house is too high.

Although many people cook at home these days, they all rely on simple braziers and hanging pots to cook. If they had this kind of sophisticated stove, the safety factor would be much higher.

The two chatted and drank tea, and before they knew it, it was noon.

After another meal of turtle soup, Xu Boan felt that he seemed to have over-nourished himself. His body felt warm as if there was a fire inside.

After the old cat finished his meal, he invited Xu Bo'an to go fishing in the pond behind.

Xu Bo'an had nothing to do anyway, so he happily went there.

After walking for more than a mile along the valley, we saw a pool of water flowing quietly under the cliff. The pool of water was about the size of a basketball court. The source of the water seemed to be the mountain water, flowing slowly down from the moss-covered cliff.

Judging from the shape of the mountain, it looks more like there was a waterfall in the past.

The stream that Xu Bo'an and his companions walked in from not far away is where this pool of water flows out.

The water in this pond is quite clear. With just a glance, you can see a school of fish swimming around.

Xu Bo'an was just admiring the beauty of this place when he heard Lao Mao introduce it: "There aren't many fish in the water. They've all been caught. I arranged for someone to release more than 200 fish a few days ago. It's quite interesting to fish for fun."

Xu Bo'an frowned slightly and said, "A lot of people here know about this!"

Lao Mao nodded and said, "When I came here, there were dozens of fishermen here, and they surrounded the pond. They all had their own WeChat groups. If someone found a good place, many people would come at once.

Later, I issued a contract and drove them away. It's not that I'm stingy, but some of them are too rude. They left a lot of plastic bags and water bottles around, and there was a lot of excrement when you walked in. It was disgusting."

Xu Boan frowned slightly when he heard this. My goodness, this matter is indeed a bit too much. It has to be managed. Although it is understandable that people have three urgent needs, it is just that some people have bad habits. Even if there is a trash can, they will throw garbage everywhere. Such behavior is very speechless.

Seeing Xu Boan's unhappy expression, Lao Mao immediately changed the subject and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's swing the rod and try our luck."

After saying that, the two of them sat by the pond and started fishing.

Not long after, Lao Mao received a phone call. There was an urgent matter to be dealt with at a construction site in Jiangcheng, so Lao Mao had to rush back.

Lao Mao explained a few words to Xu Bo'an with difficulty, and Xu Bo'an nodded and let him get back to business.

Xu Boan also heard the noise on the phone. It seemed that a gravel and sand convoy under Lao Mao had overturned. This was a big deal and of course it had to be taken seriously.

Because Xu Boan said he wanted to stay here for a while, Lao Mao left a bunch of keys in his hand to Xu Boan. They were the keys to the row of houses at the foot of the mountain. There were not only beds, sofas and other accommodations, but also two rooms used as warehouses, where they stored food, tools and other things. There were two large rooms, like warehouses.

With these things, basic life here is guaranteed.

Not long after the old cat left, Xu Bo'an became too lazy to fish. He was still thinking about sending horses to the bonsai world, and the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.

So Xu Boan quickly called Zhang Kai.

After receiving Xu Bo'an's call, Zhang Kai's tone was somewhat happy, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you are really smart. I just shipped some horses of the kind you wanted, and your call came. What a coincidence."

Xu Bo'an had originally wanted to discuss this matter, and when he saw Zhang Kai start talking, he just followed up on this topic and asked, "Oh! That's a coincidence. Including the new batch, how many horses do you have that I want, Boss Zhang?"

Zhang Kai had been thinking about Xu Bo'an. When Xu Bo'an asked, Zhang Kai immediately replied, "There are 127 horses in total. I can probably raise another horses here. If there are more, I won't be able to put them in the space I have now. I wonder how the discussion with you, Mr. Xu, went."

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "I called you this time to tell you about this. My sponsor has already found a place, which is about an hour's drive from your place. Boss Zhang, please arrange for someone to transport these more than 100 horses over."

Zhang Kai smiled when he heard that and immediately responded, "Okay, Mr. Xu, please send me the location later. I still have more than a dozen horses that haven't been unloaded from the truck. I'll let them go first and also load the horses here as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

Xu Boan responded, and after hanging up the phone, he quickly sent the location of this place to Zhang Kai via WeChat.

Looking at the WeChat location sent by Xu Boan, Zhang Kai was stunned.

Wow, why does this place look so familiar? Isn't this my hometown?
The address of the store at the door is the small shop that the family has run for many years. How did Mr. Xu end up there?

Zhang Kai couldn't help but smile and shook his head. This was really such a coincidence.

More than an hour later, Zhang Kai arrived with the first batch of horse-carrying carts.

After receiving the news, Xu Boan went straight to the entrance of the village to meet them. After all, there was still some distance to the back mountain, and Xu Boan was still counting on Zhang Kai's people to help him drive the horse over.

After a brief greeting, Xu Bo'an asked with a smile: "How is it, Boss Zhang, the scenery here is really pretty good, isn't it?'

Zhang Kai smiled even more brightly and said, "Not bad, very good. I have to thank you, Mr. Xu. I have lived here for more than ten years and haven't been here for a while.

Xu Bo'an was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Live here for more than ten years? Is your hometown in this village?"

Zhang Kai smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Mr. Xu, but we moved out a long time ago. When my grandpa and his family were still alive, the family would come back during the holidays. Later, when my grandparents were gone, they only came to visit their graves. A few years ago, I invested in a cemetery business with someone, asked a Feng Shui master to take a look, and then moved all the ancestral graves there. We haven't been back in all these years."

Xu Boan nodded and said, "No wonder Boss Zhang's business is getting bigger and bigger. It turns out that he has the help of an expert. If it is convenient for you, Boss Zhang, please introduce me to that Feng Shui master so that I can learn more."

Xu Bo'an was very curious about what kind of skills the Feng Shui master Zhang Kai mentioned relied on, so he mentioned this. Zhang Kai was actually backing off in his heart. Oh my god, he said the wrong thing.

He personally experienced and witnessed the predictions Xu Boan made at his racecourse last time, and he also heard from Qu Feifan that Xu Boan miraculously predicted the bursting of the sewage pipe at the nearby golf course.

In front of such an expert, it seems a bit inappropriate to say that someone else is a Feng Shui master. (End of this chapter)
