My village can't be like this

Chapter 614 Decision
"It seems to be true. Why didn't I think of it before? If so, then we have no objection."

"Yes, that's what it is, the fertile water only enriches your own fields, and does not benefit other people's fields."

"You idiot, that's what we call keeping good things within the family. When I told you to study, you skipped classes. Now you're suffering from your lack of education."

Everyone was originally worried about the problem, but after Zhang An directly pointed out the essence of it, everyone understood it.

Although rural people are always thinking about how to make money from the land, few of them are stupid. Sometimes they just don't think quickly enough when they are thinking about things.

Although the villagers didn't know about this yet, with the village representatives nodding in affirmation one by one, there would basically be no more problems.

Don’t underestimate this table of village representatives. Many things in the village that require collective voting will mostly be decided by them.

In other villages, these village representatives would definitely try every means to gain benefits for their own families.

But in Changqing Village, under the management of Zhang Jianwen, these representatives can really communicate with everyone and represent everyone's opinions.

There is no way, because Zhang Jianwen is wholeheartedly concerned about everyone in the village, and he can't stop at anything. Not to mention visiting every household, he will even chat with someone he meets on the street.

Therefore, the people of Changqing Village today can be said to be united as a whole, and it was like this even in the previous life.

However, in the previous life, such a united and harmonious village did not last long. After Zhang Jianwen retired and the town sent a new secretary, the people's hearts and human touch gradually disappeared.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's discuss the next question."

Zhang Jianwen saw that everyone had nodded in vote, looked at Zhang An with great satisfaction, and then continued.

"So far, we haven't had a serious discussion with Mr. Chen, but in my opinion, if you want to build a big hotel, you must have a very large area. Since everyone agrees to this, we can't avoid the question of how much money it will cost."

In the past, because of Zhang An, Zhang Jianwen always called Chen Ze "Xiao Chen".

But now, Chen Ze suddenly changed from a junior friend to a big boss. The sudden change of identity made Zhang Jianwen a little uncomfortable.

In fact, for Zhang Jianwen, the attitudes of the villagers' representatives in favor or against were not a big deal.

What really made him undecided was the issue of land.

It would be too much. Chen Ze is not a fool. If he goes too far and forces people to move to other nearby villages, then he will be in big trouble.

But if it was less, he would not be willing to accept it, and he would feel sorry for his fellow villagers.

Moreover, Zhang Jianwen is a genuine farmer, and he has a passionate love for the land in his bones.

Although the land was distributed to everyone in the village, in essence everyone is a collective and still belongs to the village.

But if you discuss a sale with people outside the village, once the deal is finalized, the land sold will no longer belong to Changqing Village.

Therefore, unless it was necessary, he did not want any of the village's land to fall into the hands of outsiders.

This is also the case when so many people came to him with high prices and wanted to buy a piece of land in the village to build a house, he rejected them all without hesitation.

Fortunately, Zhang An gave him an idea at that time and built the current Dongli Courtyard, so this huge wealth remained in the village.

But now such a problem came up again, and it made it even more difficult for him to make a decision, because he hesitated and was reluctant to give up such an opportunity.

"Although this is the first time this has happened in our area, in my opinion, it is the same as the land sold to the bosses in Zhaojiagou next door to build villas. The amount of money they want should be comparable. But everyone knows that a piece of land as big as Zhaojiagou was only sold for more than 50,000 yuan. Even if we ask for a sky-high price here, it will definitely not be much higher."

In the end, Zhang Jianwen did not intend to be entangled. After all, he called everyone over because he could not make up his mind, and he expressed all his thoughts in front of everyone.

More than 50,000 yuan is really a huge sum of money for the people living in the mountains today. Even now, the only family in Changqing Village whose assets exceed this amount is probably Zhang An's family, and Li Hongbin who joined halfway.

But after hearing this number, everyone's faces were calm. They were not happy at all, but instead frowned slightly.

That’s right, everyone was not scared by such a huge sum of money, but instead felt that it was not enough.

Zhang An knew the reason very well, which was inseparable from the development of the village in the past two years.

Over the years, before the Chinese New Year every year, the village would distribute the year's revenue to everyone.

Especially last year, including the cost of the river repair project, the amount of money in front of everyone was more than 100,000 yuan.

The whole village is developing so well this year, everyone knows it won’t be worse than last year.

If people who are used to eating pork are asked to eat corn rice, it will definitely not taste as good as before.

Similarly, everyone is used to seeing huge sums of money, so although this 50,000 yuan will cause some ripples for them, it is destined not to cause too big a stir.

This is true for the villagers, and it is even worse for village cadres like Zhang Jianwen.

After all, the money to be distributed to everyone every year is withdrawn by them from the bank, so they can be considered as people who have truly touched huge sums of money.

From another perspective, there is a reason why Zhang Jianwen is not willing to sell the land.

"Everyone, tell me, if it's similar to the land sold in Zhaojiagou, what price do you think it will be?"

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Zhang Jianwen took a sip of wine and started talking again.

"Village chief, fifty thousand is indeed too little. Our place is much better than Zhaojiagou. In my opinion, it should be at least seventy thousand."

"Yes, we have so many people coming here every year, so it can't be too few. I even think 70,000 is not enough. It should be at least 80,000."

After the first offer, the people who followed stopped hesitating and offered higher prices one after another.

"You idiots are still too timid. As an old man, I would say that it's not worth selling for less than 100,000."

In the end, Huang Weimin offered a price higher than anyone else.

He is an accountant and he has taken money, so he sees things more comprehensively than many people, but that's all.

Then, the price of one hundred thousand stunned everyone on the spot.

It’s not that no one has ever seen this amount of money, but because the price is twice what Zhaojiagou sold the land for at that time.

I didn’t think so when I said it just now, but now that I think about it, such a large sum of money is really exaggerated.

But no matter what, this number is already the highest price everyone thinks, including Zhang Jianwen.

However, no one expected that among so many people, there was actually one person who did not think it was too much, and even thought it was not enough.

That’s right, it’s Zhang An.

One hundred thousand yuan is a lot of money, but in ten or even twenty years, it is only the price of a slightly larger residential plot in Changqing Village. Don’t be fooled by many people saying on the Internet that you can build a three-story house in your hometown with only two hundred thousand yuan.

But in Changqing Village, if you don’t have a suitable residential plot, even if you take 200,000 yuan home, you probably won’t have much money left after buying the land.

"Uncle, it's not necessary to sell the land."

But even so, Zhang An did not think that the land must be sold like others did.

"What? You don't want to sell the land? Then why did you just..."

When Zhang Jianwen heard what Zhang An said, he was immediately stunned.

He was wondering, Zhang An was clearly trying to persuade everyone to nod in agreement just now, why did they suddenly disagree?

The others thought the same and were all looking at Zhang An. The meaning in their eyes was very clear, as if they were asking, if you don't agree, why did you give us so many lectures just now?

"You misunderstood me. What I meant was that Chen Ze could use the land to build a hotel, but a sale doesn't have to happen."

Looking at everyone's eyes, Zhang An spread his hands and explained.

"For example, we can authorize the land to Chen Ze, but not sell it to him. This is equivalent to exchanging the right to use the land for shares. He can build a hotel here without spending any money, and the land is still in our village. In this way, there will be no problems."

Zhang An himself prefers this method.

Firstly, Changqing Village invested in the hotel by way of land, so the hotel will be considered as a village industry in the future. Many frictions and troubles will be easily resolved because of this relationship.

After all, this is the mountain area, and the current customs of the people can be said to be very tough, and there are some restless people in every village.

In later generations, when many bosses went to the mountains to invest, unspeakable things often happened. Although they were not big, they were very troublesome.

However, when the villagers become investment partners in the industry, if any blind guy dares to cause trouble, the other people in the village will come out to deal with them without anyone saying anything.

Secondly, Zhang An has his own ideas. On one side are his friends, and on the other side is his village. Business is business, but he does not want any rift between the two sides because of this.

Although Chen Ze will earn less money every year, with the current development momentum of Changqing Village, the profits brought will definitely exceed that part of the dividends.

Because in Zhang An's opinion, if the village uses land as a stake, it will get too much share from Chen Ze. After all, the investment required to open a hotel is not a small amount of money.

After listening to Zhang An's opinion, Zhang Jianwen kept rubbing his chin with his hand, squinting his eyes, and began to fall into deep thought.

The others were similarly thinking about the feasibility of Zhang An's idea.

"I personally think Zhang An's idea is very good, so I want to give it a try."

After a while, Zhang Jianwen's eyes lit up and he slapped the table and said.

This idea is like a long-term plan for Changqing Village.

Although he knew that if the deal was successful, the village would not get much each year.

However, this will definitely be more cost-effective than a one-off deal, and most importantly, the land will always be controlled by the village.

No one else had a different opinion; they had already figured out the benefits.

"Then it's settled. I'll discuss this matter with Boss Chen in the next two days. If it doesn't work out, we'll talk about it another way."

After saying that, Zhang Jianwen picked up the wine and called on everyone to walk together.

Because we were discussing something just now, everything we ate didn't taste so good.

Now that the decision has been made, we must have a good drink.

After Zhang An had a few drinks with everyone, he focused his attention on the dishes on the table.

The closest to him was a bowl of chestnut stewed chicken, which smelled very delicious and tasted even better.

"The chestnut stewed chicken made by Auntie today is really delicious. Uncle, the taste of this meat is definitely not that of the local chicken here."

Zhang An was very particular about food. He only tasted the chicken once and knew it was not the big stupid chicken or small native chicken that most people raised.

"Hehe, I still can't escape your mouth. These are the chickens my family just raised this year. They are almost grown up. I will kill two of them today to taste them."

Zhang Jianwen chuckled and said generously.

"I said it tastes more tender than the native chickens in our village. Uncle, do you have any hens at home? If you have any, leave some eggs for me and I can hatch some and raise them."

Zhang An said that the flower chicken was originally named Wumeng Phoenix Chicken and is a local native chicken breed. However, what makes them different from other native chickens is that their fur is overall black and white.

After being raised, the size of a rooster does not exceed five kilograms, and the hens are smaller. Even the smallest native chickens raised in the village are larger than them.

Although Zhang An's family has a lot of chickens now, they are a bit tired of eating them after eating them for so long, so he also set his sights on the spotted chicken.

"I have three of them, and they are starting to lay eggs. If you want them, I'll ask your aunt to save some and send them to you when the time comes."

Zhang Jianwen readily agreed. Even if Zhang An asked their family for eggs, let alone chickens, he would be willing to give them.

"By the way, Zhang Ping will go to the girl's house to tell her fortune on September 13th. I'll have to trouble everyone to come and help."

After eating and drinking, Zhang Jianwen told everyone about this matter.

Rural people are accustomed to talking about dates according to the lunar calendar, so September 13th should be after the Double Ninth Festival.

"Haha, what's so hard about this? This is a good thing. We can come here to eat for another day."

Although this period was the time for planting winter rapeseed, everyone agreed very readily.

Because Zhang Jianwen is very popular in the village, once there is a problem, the villagers will come to help even if he doesn't say anything.

"Especially you, Zhang An. You will have to push any problems to me when the time comes."

Since Zhang An has a car, he will definitely be the main force on that day, and Zhang Jianwen has no intention of being polite to him.

"Don't worry, uncle. When that day comes, I will push aside any big issue."

As the saying goes, human relations are based on give and take, but the relationship between these two families is no longer just a simple human relationship.

When that day comes, Zhang An plans to make a great effort.
