Chapter 48: New Little Brother

  "Is money good?" Han Yu smiled and glanced at this tyrannical village director.

  "Alright, of course." Li Da Chui swallowed his saliva and said softly: "Confucius once said that I desire wealth and I also desire women. If I had to choose between the two, I would still choose wealth over women."

  "Why?" As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yu immediately realized that he had asked a very silly question.

  As expected, Zhuo Bu Fan next to him disdainfully curled his lips and said loudly: "You don't even know this? With money, you'll naturally not lack women either."

  Li Da Chui nodded affirmatively, and the young men behind him also got up, their eyes shining as they stared at the money on the table. However, not one of them dared to make a move, for in their hearts, Liang Huan standing beside them was even more terrifying than Zhuo Bu Fan sitting there.

  Hearing their discussion, these people also nodded in agreement.

  Han Yu was struck by lightning again, and he looked around at the faces including Zhuo Bu Fan's determined face, and couldn't help but ask himself: Did Grandpa Kong really say that?

  It's better not to pursue this matter further, otherwise he will collapse.

  Taking a deep breath, Han Yu said calmly and slowly, "Let's not talk about Confucius' problem for now. I came this time to invest in your village. As long as you nod, the money is yours."

  "What's ours?" The young man known as Roku no Miko's eyes lit up instantly.

  When they saw Han Yu nodding, they all cheered up. Li Da Chui said loudly: "What's the noise? What's the noise about? A great man gets rich and doesn't forget his lust, this money is so easy to get! If you have any illegal demands, speak up first, I'll tell you, I'm a man of principle. We don't do things that kill people."

  "Yes, Uncle Hammer, the reason he can be the village head is because he is the most learned in the village. He has always taught us that killing people will be repaid with death, and gains will not make up for losses. So don't think about cheating us." Liu Zi chimed in from the side.

  Han Yu's forehead broke out in a few black lines, staring steadily at Li Da Chui, fully witnessing the destructive power of this guy to our Huaxia 5,000-year civilization. And yet, he's still got the best grades?

  Taking a deep breath, Han Yu easily suppressed the urge to give them a good lesson and said in a soft voice: "I plan to lease twenty hectares of land at the foot of our village's back mountain and invest in building a factory!"

  "Build a factory? What kind of factory?" Li Dachui, after all, was the village director. Although his words were not very elegant, he wasn't stupid: "Our Weichi Village has nothing to attract bees and butterflies except for ironwork."

  Han Yu's face suddenly turned black.

  "Uncle, it's not about attracting bees and butterflies, but using other people's money to make money for yourself, called... called..." Liuda's sidekick Liu often followed him around and was familiar with this phrase, so as soon as he saw Han Yu's expression, he knew something was off.

  What a pity he was in such a hurry that he couldn't think of the word. Li Da Chui reacted quickly and said, "Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs!"

  "Ah, right, right, right! Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs is still Uncle Hammer's clever idea!" Liu Zi said with a face full of admiration.

  "Nonsense! Don't you know who our Uncle Hammer is? The village head..."

  ……

  For a moment, the flattery was like a tidal wave, and Li Dachui savored the taste of bootlicking with a self-satisfied expression. Han Yu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, this time he finally understood how Li Dachui's invincible verbal skills were honed.

  "Alright, alright, we still have guests here." Li Dachui had been observing Han Yu's expression and saw that he was showing impatience, so he hastily waved his hand and said: "One by one, you don't even know how to hold back."

  "That's called subtle!" Han Yu couldn't help but correct him, then quickly changed the subject: "Director Li, is the 20 mu of land in Qiancheng enough?"

  "How many years do you want to be kept?"

  "I," Han Yu rolled his eyes and weakly stretched out five fingers.

  Li Da Chui's face darkened, he had a mind to agree, but just been beaten by Liang Huan, his mouth was swollen and could hardly speak, if he found out later that he took more of his money, who knows what would happen to him!

  "If it's just five years, it won't cost that much..."

  "It's not five years, it's thirty years." Han Yu said softly: "One mu of land is calculated at 200 yuan per year, and twenty mu of land is 4,000 yuan per year. Thirty years is 120,000 yuan, and this 50,000 yuan is the down payment!"

  "1.2 million?" Li Dachui was startled, while the young people behind him stared blankly at the stacks of pink banknotes exposed in the cold air, their eyes revealing a crazed and painful expression.

  It's so cold outside that I've frozen my money, what a sin! My pocket is warm, if only they would come in...

  "Also, I'd like to take on the mining rights of your back mountain, for a period of thirty years as well. I can offer an additional 800,000." Han Yu said in a low voice.

  "Two, two hundred thousand? This... I need to discuss it with the village, I..."

  "I had already discussed it with Old Guo before I came, and they are all very supportive. Of course, if you can't make a decision for the time being, that's okay, I'll let Liang Huan wait here for news." Han Yu said calmly.

  "Ah, no, never mind." Li Dachui's face changed as soon as he heard it, and he hastily waved his hand: "This matter, since Old Guo has already agreed to it, I will of course unconditionally agree to it too. You wait, we'll sign the contract right away, right away."

  ……

  After leaving Li Da Chui's home, Han Yu had only one feeling: if you spend a day living with someone like Li Da Chui who is so learned, you will inevitably begin to doubt this world.

  It's not that you don't understand, it's just that the world is changing fast.

  "Boss, aren't you happy?" Liang Huan asked softly, looking at Han Yu's face.

  "Isn't the land contract thing already done according to heaven and human?" Zhuo Bufan hummed lightly.

  Han Yu stumbled and almost fell...

  It's indeed a done deal, 2 million yuan, and the exploitation rights of Wuzhi Village's back mountain for 30 years were packaged, as well as the use rights of 20 mu of land for 30 years. Although there are still some formalities to go through, for a remote and backward village like Wuzhi Village, it is already a great thing that someone has come to invest, so this is simply a win-win situation that makes everyone happy.

  Holding the contract, Han Yu returned to Guo Lao's home.

  Mr. Guo's home had already gathered many people, and when they saw Han Yu arrive, they made way for him one after another. In their eyes, Han Yu was undoubtedly a big official, and such a person came to help their village without hesitation, which filled the hearts of these simple mountain people with gratitude and respect.

  Everyone was overjoyed when they learned that the matter had been settled. The people in the twenty mu of land chosen by Han Yu were even more ecstatic, while others looked at them with envy.

  "After the factory is built, I guarantee that everyone will have work to do and money to earn. As Guo Lao said, the rewards for everyone are already clear, you can all call back your children who went out to work elsewhere, working for others is not as good as working for ourselves. Once the factory is set up, we'll all get rich together!"

  Han Yu's words of encouragement instantly boosted the crowd's enthusiasm. At this moment, if that hammer dared to show up and refuse, his only outcome would be to be beaten down by the crowd and then trampled on several times.

  Ordinary people actually think very simply, to support their families and fill their stomachs. After that, they can do some work, earn some money, and have a goal in life, which is already enough for them.

  After seeing off the enthusiastic crowd, Han Yu kept Liang Huan behind and told him that the contract signed with the village was just an intention. The leasing of those lands is easy to say, as long as the ordinary people who own the land agree, then this matter is basically settled. However, for the contract to have legal effect on the exploitation rights of the back mountain, it still needs to be approved by the relevant departments at the county level.

  Liang Huan stayed behind, just in time to handle this matter, and also to prepare for the construction of the factory.

  "I'm leaving." Han Yu instructed Liang Huan for a while, then bid farewell to Guo Lao. Just as he was about to get on the car, Zhuo Bu Fan suddenly walked over and grabbed the car door: "I'll go with you."
