Zhang Yitian and Cai Sen stayed in the Red Flag Village for two days. After understanding the situation in the village, Zhang Yitian was fairly satisfied.
The most important thing was that when people heard that Zhang Yitian was planning to invest in the construction of the farm here, they were all very active.
The reason for this was obvious. Although there was land here, it was only land. The farmers' agricultural equipment was so backward that it was as if they were in the countryside until 2000.
Moreover, the road outside the village also only had a simple sand road. Winter was still okay, but once spring and summer came, the entire road would start to turn to pulp. Whether it was the nearest town or Cloud City, it was even harder than climbing into the sky.
The village chief was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He was dark and thin, but his hands and feet were as nimble as a rabbit's.
The Village Chief accompanied Zhang Yitian and Cai Sen for two days, and only stopped when they reached the eastern end of the village and reached the border of the other villages.
There was a building that looked like a ruin. It must have been abandoned more than twenty years ago.
The Village Chief said, ”Actually, as you have all seen, this place depends on the size of our Red Flag Village. That is because this place was originally three state-owned farms, and then the three farms merged into one, and this last one was not saved. Its performance has been declining year by year, and in 2000, it closed!”
The village chief pointed to the ruins and said, ”This is the original farm's administrative unit, it has been abandoned for more than ten years, and all of the land here was transferred to the hands of the city's Land Bureau. In the end, our Red Flag Village was responsible for managing the land, and we can't just leave like that, but as you have seen, the entire village doesn't have any decent farm machinery, and the original farm's road can no longer be used …”
Zhang Yitian carefully observed the topography of the area. The topography of the ruins was a little high. Although this place was abandoned, in the future, it would be the best location to build an employee dorm.
At noon that day, Zhang Yitian and Cai Sen returned to the Yuncheng. Before they left, the village chief brought hundreds of people to send Zhang Yitian to the village entrance and advised, ”Director Zhang, if you can really contract this land, then that would be great. I thank you on behalf of the entire village!”
Zhang Yitian looked at this group of simple villagers. He wanted to say something to comfort them, but Cai Sen cut him off.
Obviously, the old man's words made him unhappy, and he corrected him: ”Old Village Chief, I have something to say, about whether this land's Director Zhang will sign or not, that is between us, the Land Bureau, and him, because the ownership of the land is in our Land Bureau, what does it have to do with you? ”Don't think that I don't know what kind of ulterior motives you guys have in mind. Let me tell you the truth, you guys won't get a single cent in the end!”
Even though he knew that this person was a cadre from Yuncheng, he still fearlessly said: ”Leader, I don't like listening to your words. Thinking back to when this land was under your Land Bureau, you did not ask about it, but instead found our Red Flag Village on your own accord and asked us to manage this land, if not, you would not be able to take responsibility for this land.
We are helping you with your work. Later on, you will think that we have planted the land for nothing and even directly asked us for the contract fee.
But you? Just tell us directly, we have to grow this land even if we don't want to, and we still have to pay the contract fee. In the end, it means that our village's young and old are busy all year round, and the last bit of the hard-earned money has all fallen into your pockets.
”
The village chief complained to Zhang Yitian and said: ”That's right, last year when we came here to inspect, not only did we praise their Land Bureau for making good use of their land, they even specially paid us a sum of money to purchase agricultural machinery, but in the end, we didn't even see a single cent of it.”
”Enough!” Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Cai Sen pointed at the village chief crazily and roared, ”You old man, what nonsense are you spouting? ”If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll sue you for slander and let the Public Security Bureau arrest you!”
”Great!” ”Come on, I still want to talk to someone about my old bones!” The village chief took a big step forward, nose pointed at the tip of his nose and said to Cai Sen, ”Who's afraid of who?”
”You …”
”Alright!” Cai Sen was about to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Yitian's shout, ”What happened in the end is my business, Director Tsai you don't have to be so concerned! However, what the Village Chief said earlier makes sense! ”
Zhang Yitian patted Cai Sen's chest, ”Director Tsai, as a person, money is important, but you have to be honest!”
With that said, Zhang Yitian immediately ran towards his own car.
Cai Sen understood, Zhang Yitian had seen through everything clearly and these words were meant for him to hear.
But so what, the final amount of money would still be transferred into his Land Bureau accounts, so no matter what, it would not be up to him to decide.
Cai Sen harrumphed and threatened the village chief, ”You old bastard. Remember, I'm as handsome as you are.” Then he got into the car and drove away.
This trip to the Red Flag Village, Zhang Yitian had originally been very happy. After all, there was such a suitable place for him to display his full strength, and it was practically a gift from the heavens.
However, from his few days of contact with Chasen, he had realized that this guy was nothing to him.
Zhang Yitian had seen too many people like Cai Sen in such a long time that he understood that this kind of person was like a hungry wolfdog. As long as you feed him something, he would wag his tail and bark at you.
Therefore, towards this kind of person, Zhang Yitian only had one solution, and that was not to interact with them.
Although the Village Chief had also said that this land was under the jurisdiction of the Land Bureau, if Zhang Yitian wanted to acquire more land, Cai Sen would definitely be unable to do so.
However, he quickly thought of a way!
This was a method that could bypass Cai Sen while leaving him speechless. Furthermore, it was very possible that Zhang Yitian could gain some support through this method.
that is, he went straight to the Cloud City government!
With such a large scale, an investment of several billion would, presumably, be quite a large investment for the Yuncheng. If a plan were to be made in the future, it would affect the pull of the Yuncheng economy as well as the aspect of taxation. They were both considerable figures.
