At noon on Monday, Jiang Chen asked Lin Fengmao to invite the village head, Lin Tongxian, to his house for lunch.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Fengmao mentioned that Jiang Kevin wanted to contract the barren hills outside the village.
Lin Que's chopsticks stopped in mid-air as he looked at Jiang Kevin in surprise. ”Contracting a barren mountain?”
Jiang Chen nodded his head as he poured Lin Tongyi's glass full.
Lin Tong Shan put down his chopsticks, frowned and asked: ”Have you thought it through? Contracting the barren hills was not an easy thing to do. ”Don't just watch others contract and earn money, just think that they're earning money.”
In the mountains near them, there weren't many things that could be sold for money. There were many trees, but the law forbade them to be felled. Of course, if it was only for their own use and if they were to cut one or two, it would not matter if the villagers didn't see them. If he were to cut them down and sell them, something would happen sooner or later.
Last year, in Zhang Yongping's village, there was a person who had secretly cut down a barren mountain while hoping to get lucky. After being captured, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
In addition, the government had not allowed people to hunt freely for years, so there were more and more wild animals in the mountain. A few years ago, there were some wild boars that were harming people in their village.
This was only a wild boar, and at the beginning of the year, there were also wild wolves that attacked livestock in the neighboring town.
Thus, unless one was extremely prepared, no one would dare to contract a barren mountain. This was because no one knew when this wild boar would descend the mountain.
It was too dangerous!
Jiang Chen nodded, ”Uncle, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I've already thought it through. Wild boar and wild wolf, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that the villagers will not agree to my contract. I'll need your help in this aspect. ”
Seeing that Jiang Kevin was adamant on not speaking any further, Lin Tong could tell. Since Lin Fengmao was with him, his family would definitely agree to this matter. He did not need to be a vile character in vain.
Moreover, contracting out the barren hills was the same as paying the village rent, and the money was given to the villagers. Currently, there was no one who hired the Desolate Mountain. As long as they left it open, they might as well rent it to some bold people.
With that in mind, Lin Congshan picked up his chopsticks again. ”Sure, I'll take care of this matter. I don't think there'll be any problems.”
When Jiang Kevin heard this, he felt relieved. He picked up his drink and said, ”Thank you for your trouble. Let me toast you.”
After going through the ups and downs of buying a house, Lin Fengmao was very worried that someone would use this matter to add insult to injury to Jiang Kevin.
He really had guessed it. Because of the matter of buying a house, the family that had a feud with Jiang Kevin, Lin Fengmao, jumped up and down to persuade the villagers not to agree to this matter.
Later, when there were very few responses, he said that Jiang Kevin had given too little money and had to increase the price.
This time, due to their interest, there were people who were incited by them. However, before they could even mature, they were extinguished.
Jiang Kevin personally went to the village board to broadcast the news on the loudspeaker. It meant that if everyone did not want her to contract the contract, it was fine. She could do it to either Zhang Jia Village or Guo Jia Village.
When these words were spoken, the people who had been incited to do so felt a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads.
The barren hills of their village were the same as the other villages; there was nothing special about them. There were even many hawthorn trees in the barren hills of the Zhang family village. If it were not for the fact that Uncle Jiang Kevin and the others were living here, Jiang Kevin would not have contracted this place.
If Jiang Kevin did not contract, would there be anyone else?
The answer was, of course not.
If anyone in the village wanted to contract a contract, they would have done so a long time ago.
The mountain to the south of the village was filled with wild chestnut trees, which was why the southerners had made such a hard contract.
However, the barren mountain that Jiang Kevin wanted to contract was just an ordinary tree. There was no development prospects and no one from the village would contract it.
Now, from the looks of it, the person, Jiang Kevin, was here to give them money. If he did not contract with Jiang Kevin, he would be pushing the money out. What was wrong with that.
By the time the village committee called a general assembly on Wednesday, almost everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Just like that, Jiang Kevin easily obtained the contracting authority in the Desolate Mountain area and announced on the spot that he would pay the contract fee of three hundred thousand yuan for fifty years.
This time, the villagers were in an uproar. They no longer had any complaints about Jiang Kevin contracting in the barren mountains.
After all, the fees were going to be given to the village, and in the end, it would definitely be given to the villagers.
There were only four to five hundred people in the entire village. According to the number of people, each person would have about six or seven hundred. There were six people in the village, and each family was worth more than four thousand dollars.
Perhaps this small amount of money did not seem like much to those in wealthy areas, but it was definitely not small in the Lin Family Village, not to mention the fact that they got it for free.
How could they not be excited?
After signing the contract with the village, in public, Jiang Kevin took out the 300,000 yuan he had just taken out from the bank and placed it on the table.
This move made it difficult for the village chief, Lin Xiangshan, to see the money. Although his family received a lot of money, he had the intention of using it to repair his ruined road.
However, when they saw the wistful look in the villagers' eyes, they finally decided to split the money among them.
”Don't be in such a hurry everyone, let's split the money today.”
”Oh yeah!”
The Lin Family Village was too small. Other than the village head, Lin Tong Shan, there was also a female chief, who did not even have an accountant.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to stay and help Lin Tong pay the bill.
The matter that had Lin Tong in a fluster was settled in Jiang Kevin's hands. Counting money, signing, printing, methodical.
Very soon, everyone except for the few households that were not home received their money in full.
Jiang Chen handed the rest of the money to Lin Xiangshan before he returned to Lin Fengmao's house.
”Uncle, this is our family's money, you can't say that you don't want it.” Jiang Kevin first stopped talking.
