Li Xiangdong asked this question, and in fact, most of the villagers in Lijiapo thought the same way.

They now earn more in a year than non-agricultural workers earn in two or three years!

They are proud and honored, and they don't get angry when people call them peasants.

What's wrong with peasants?

The mud-legged man has gold trim inside!

Someone below shouted, "Yes!"

Then came a chorus of agreement.

"that is!"

"That's right! We're living better than them!"

"..."

Li Xiangdong didn't stop them. He waited until the noise gradually subsided before continuing, "But how long can this good relationship last?"

How long can this last?

The villagers never expected this.

They had only been enjoying this good life for a short time, and they never even thought that the good days would come to an end!

When Li Xiangdong asked them this question today, everyone's mind went completely blank, and they couldn't help but tense up.

Li Kang, standing right next to Li Xiangdong, frowned and asked, "How can it end like this?"

The aquaculture base, pig breeding base, Chinese herbal medicine planting base and processing plant in Lijiapo, as well as the food factory and garment factory, are all thriving and making a fortune every day.

Li Xiangdong noticed his question and stopped beating around the bush, saying directly, "Just like that dress from earlier, the reason why our village's collective industries are so profitable now is because we seized an early opportunity!"

“Previously, the whole country was in a state of shortage of supplies, and we had no trouble selling the products we produced!”

"But what about now?"

"With the reform and opening up in full swing, all kinds of enterprises are springing up like mushrooms after rain all over the country!"

"I believe that in the near future, we will be in a state of oversupply!"

"Will our village's products still sell as well then?"

"If we can't sell anything, will we still be able to make that much money?"

Li Xiangdong's words were a wake-up call, and many intelligent people broke out in a cold sweat.

However, there are also people who only know how to bury themselves in their work and can't think outside the box.

They couldn't understand how things had turned out the way Li Xiangdong described.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire square became somewhat somber.

Li Jin forgot to smoke, "Xiang Dong! What are we going to do?"

I have three ideas!

Li Xiangdong cleared his throat. "First, everyone shouldn't just bury their heads in their work; they should look up and see the sky! Take some time to go outside, observe, and learn how the market environment is changing, so you can keep up with the times!"

"Secondly, I suggest that our village set aside one-fifth of its annual dividends and save them!"

What should we do with this money?

This money is for the villagers to go to school!

Regardless of gender, everyone who can go to school should go!

Tuition fees will be paid from the dividends we save!

As long as they can go to school, whether it's primary school, middle school, university, or studying abroad, we'll support them!

Alternatively, villagers who are doing business outside and are temporarily short of funds can also use this money!

This money is the source of our ambition and drive in Lijiapo.

"Thirdly, I've provided everyone with a safety net. At the very least, this ensures that no one is left behind by the times and that everyone can enjoy the benefits of development!"

After finishing his explanation, Li Xiangdong picked up the large tea mug next to him and took a few sips to moisten his throat.

The people below started whispering again, wondering what kind of guaranteed opportunity Li Xiangdong was talking about.

However, Li Xiangdong didn't keep them waiting for long and said directly, "There's a residential complex in Tuanjiehu, Yanjing City. The cheapest apartment is 24,000 yuan, and the most expensive is 35,000 yuan!"

I was thinking that everyone could buy one!

Before Li Xiangdong had even finished speaking, the people below began to murmur among themselves.

"What? Buy a house? Buy a house in Yanjing?"

"But what's the point of buying a house in Yanjing? It's so far from home!"

"Haha, we can't possibly stay in Yanjing tonight and then get up early to take the train back to farm!"

"According to Xiang Dong, the biggest house there is only about 80 square meters! That's not even half the size of our current house!"

Li Jinshan, puffing on his pipe, said leisurely to the old man on his left, "That's the capital! How can it compare to our village? Every inch of land there is worth its weight in gold!"

He's quite shrewd now; he used the tens of thousands of yuan he earned from selling clivia to buy a small house in Beijing through Li Xiangdong.

The old man curled his lip, "It's still not a comfortable place to live, you can't even stretch your back!"

Guo Haiguang said with a smile, "Then you can stay in the village!"

"Let them live here then. It's our house and our yard. No matter how many generations pass, it will always belong to the Li family!"

"That's true!"

Guo Haiguang and Li Jinshan both agreed with this view.

Farmers' roots are still in the land. No matter how many houses they own in the city, they must never lose their homestead in the village.

Some people also said, "Houses in Yanjing are too expensive! You can buy more than a dozen courtyard houses for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan!"

Of course, this courtyard house refers to the courtyard house in Lijiapo.

Moreover, while every family can afford to have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, it would mean emptying their savings if they actually had to spend it.

Many people would be unwilling to empty their savings to buy a small house in Yanjing.

Li Xiangdong could tell from their hesitant, conflicted, or puzzled expressions that they didn't understand.

"Let me be frank with you, the houses in our village aren't worth much! But the houses in Yanjing will be worth a lot of money in the future!"

After saying that, Li Xiangdong went home to sleep.

The next day, villagers who were interested in buying a house could go to Wang Zhenbo to register.

Li Xiangdong slept until the sun was high in the sky, ate a hearty breakfast, and then strolled over to Wang Zhenbo.

Judging from yesterday's situation, he originally thought that not many people wanted to buy a house!

When I looked at the notebook that Wang Zhenbo had registered, wow!

Two whole pages have already been filled with notes!

There are a total of 72 households!

Li Xiangdong raised an eyebrow, but before he could even ask, Wang Zhenbo already knew what he wanted to ask.

"Last night, Liu Yubin and his wife started banging on my front door, wanting to register to buy a house! They said they were afraid that if they were too late, the houses would be sold out!"

Li Xiangdong laughed, "Yesterday, Uncle Yubin's behavior didn't seem like that of someone who would do such a thing."

Yesterday, Liu Yubin was the one making the most noise, constantly saying that buying a house in Yanjing was a waste of money because he couldn't live there.

Wang Zhenbo chuckled, "Hey, don't be fooled by their antics. When you tell me that houses in Yanjing are valuable, they're all afraid they won't be able to buy one!"

Li Xiangdong also asked Li Jin to tell all his relatives about this great opportunity.

People like Aunt Li Si, Aunt Li Da, Li Ying, Li Lan, Lan Shixing, Ma Jinfu, and Pan Mingzhong each bought a set.

When Sun Zhihe saw the two large sacks of RMB, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

In just three days, all the buildings were sold out?!
