Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 177 The admiring and expectant eyes of the cobblers
The village cadres all thought that what the village chief said made sense.
But what price should I offer to Grandma Hu for this piece of land?
They reported too little. If any young man in the village is not selected to work in the factory, they will definitely blame them for having something fishy going on with the Hu family.
If I report too much, I’m afraid I’ll scare the God of Wealth away.
A group of village cadres who had never done big business were suddenly filled with worries.
"Brother Yongfu, how about you give me some advice?"
A few cobblers cast their expectant eyes on Zhao Yongfu, the Zhuge Liang.
In fact, Zhao Yongfu already had an idea in his mind, but the old man was very vain and would not give anyone advice unless they came to him for help.
After enjoying the admiring and expectant looks from the cobblers, Zhao Zhuge Liang Yongfu took two sips of the old tea in the teacup and gave them a suggestion:
"Although it is our village that is selling the land, the money certainly cannot all stay in the village. The town also has to hand over part of it."
As expected of the cunning village chief, with just a few words he brought the village cadres' expectations for the money to the lowest point.
When others thought about it, hey, that’s really true!
Just now they were just happy that after selling the land, the village would have money and they could also benefit from it .
But after what Zhao Yongfu said, after deducting the money paid to the town from the money the village earned from selling the land, there wasn't much left in the village.
So, why would they drive away the God of Wealth who could provide employment for their children just to generate income for the town?
Thinking of this, everyone even wanted to give the land to Grandma Hu for free.
What money do they want? Anyway, the money will be put into the village collective account, and the village head and accountant will be watching. Can they steal the money back to their own home?
The money from selling the land is not their own, but if their children can work in the factory and earn real money every month, that is their family’s money!
Seeing the village cadres' rolling eyes, Zhao Yongfu smiled and continued -
"What I mean is, in order to avoid complaints from the people in the town and our village, we should talk to Grandma Hu about the money from the land sale. We should ask for about the right amount. We don't want a penny more, but we can't ask for too little either."
The others had been brainwashed by the village chief. When they heard that he wanted to collect more money, they were even more anxious than Grandma Hu, the person involved. Before they could stand up and raise objections, they heard Zhao Yongfu add:
"Although the price of selling the land cannot be too low, the factory is in financial difficulty, and the village should also be understanding."
"In my opinion, the village should ask Grandma Hu to file an application, and our village should stamp it, and the money for buying the land should be paid by the Zongzi Factory in five years."
"So if the land is worth 500 yuan, you only need to pay 100 yuan a year."
If Jiang Tian were sitting here, she would probably also give a thumbs up to the village chief's imagination.
It's incredible! The old man's thinking is so advanced that he even thought of the idea of "installment payment".
Zhao Yongfu also thought that his idea was very good.
However, the expected flattery did not appear.
The village cadres, who have been brainwashed by the village chief and whose minds are filled with the God of Wealth, think that charging Grandma Hu 500 yuan for a piece of wasteland is simply the reincarnation of Huang Shiren!
They even suspected that the village chief actually wanted to drive the God of Wealth to other villages.
Think about it carefully. Brother Yongfu loves his wife so much, he wouldn't want to use the high price of 500 yuan to scare away Grandma Hu and introduce the God of Wealth to his mother-in-law's village, right?
"Why are you all looking at me?" Zhao Yongfu almost went mad when he was stared at by the village cadres.
In the end, it was Accountant Liu, the "second smartest" in the village, who came up with a good idea that would not offend the village chief but would keep the God of Wealth.
"Brother Yongfu, five hundred dollars is really too much. Besides, someone died on that piece of land, and even Grandma Hu didn't mind it. How can we cheat her like this?"
"How about this, I remember that the land on the other side of the river used to be the old shepherd's house. After he passed away, no one wanted those two stinky, broken straw houses. Why don't we also include the land of the old shepherd on the other side of the river into the same lot?"
"The two plots of land cost 500 yuan in total. We can build a factory on the river side. If the Hu family wants, they can build a few houses on the land on the other side of the river and let their family members live there~"
"Great! It's really great!" The free flattery was immediately directed at the smart and witty Accountant Liu.
"Wow! Old Liu, this trick of yours is really amazing."
"Isn't it? If Boss Hu's family really built a house in our village and the whole family moved in, wouldn't the God of Wealth become a member of our village?"
Zhao Yongfu silently calculated it in his mind, and his face suddenly turned dark.
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
Is there anything wrong with this?
I only heard the village chief say with a dark face:
"The two plots of land together are worth 500 yuan, so one plot of land is worth 250 yuan, right?"
"Isn't this insulting?"
Accountant Liu's face also turned red, but he was worthy of being the first military advisor to the village chief. He thought about it and immediately thought of a solution.
"No one has stipulated that the village must set a round number when selling land, right?"
"Brother Yongfu, do you think this will work? Tie the two plots of land together and ask Grandma Hu to give 518 yuan."
"518, which sounds like I want to make a fortune, I heard that people doing business always want a good start, this number sounds better than two hundred and fifty, right?"
Zhao Yongfu finally turned his anger into joy and looked at Accountant Liu with relief.
Yes, he is worthy of being the candidate chosen by him for the next village chief. This brain is 80% as smart as when he was young.
The village cadres discussed the price of selling the land and did not dare to delay. They stood up and walked hurriedly to the village chief's house.
Two people ran away along the way, one was the production team leader and the other was Accountant Liu. They both said they came in a hurry and their feet were still covered in mud, so they wanted to go back and change into clothes suitable for meeting guests.
After returning home, Zhao Yongfu immediately told Grandma Hu the good news.
Jiang Tian was listening at the side, her eyes almost falling out.
When she went out today, did the God of Wealth touch her head?
She originally thought that the villagers would take the opportunity to ask for a very high price, so she drank some water in advance and prepared to bargain with the villagers.
Unexpectedly , the villagers not only did not take the opportunity to kill the fat sheep, but also gave them an extra piece of land.
I heard that the land on the other side of the river is only half an acre smaller than the one they originally liked, but it is a residential site that can be used to build a house!
The two plots of land together only cost them 518 yuan? !
As if he was afraid that the stimulation she received was not enough, Zhao Yongfu added:
"The village is also considering that your family will soon build a new factory, and they are worried that you may not have enough money to make ends meet. So, you can go back and write a report saying that the village has agreed to let you build the factory first."
"As for the money for buying the land, I'll pay it over five years. I'll pay 100 yuan to the village each year, and 118 yuan in the last year. Is that okay with you?"
