The industrial zone planned by Zhang Bin finally had one of its factory buildings completed. The industrial zone was built on the flat land at the foot of Mantou Ridge, occupying an area of more than six hundred acres. This land all belonged to the village, but it had been leased by Zhang Bin for a period of fifty years, the same term as his lease for Mantou Ridge.
Truthfully, Zhang Bin hadn't been sure what to do with such a large industrial zone. It was Liu Qian who had suggested it, arguing that a larger industrial zone would be better for future expansions as the enterprise grew. Zhang Bin figured that with so much land, even if it wasn't all used for factories, it could still be used to cultivate medicinal herbs, so he followed the suggestion. Today, he was deeply impressed with Liu Qian's foresight.
