The next morning, Xu Shang and Jiang Fuguo split up. Jiang Fuguo was responsible for convening a villagers' meeting to inform and persuade everyone to start a rural enterprise together, while Xu Shang, in addition to selling cakes, finalized the location of the first store.

After ten o'clock, Xu Shang drove his tricycle around the town.

This first store must have been opened in Sanma Town.

Xu Shang was also a little excited. After all, pirated stores all had storefronts, but his genuine store was just a small stall. Was this reasonable? Of course it was unreasonable!

However, before he had walked around much, he saw the "Liu Ji Noodle House and Wu Dalang Shaobing Shop" in the vegetable market, with a sign saying "For Sale" on the door.

"Is his shop closed?" Xu Shang asked the businessman who was setting up a stall next to him.

The man also knew Xu Shang, and smiled at him, “Xiaoge Xu, I watched your video. How can his family continue to do business? You didn’t see the scene. How many aunties stood at his door and cursed him? Some even said they got sick from eating too much and wanted them to pay compensation. There were even two police cars!”

Xu Shangxin said, "Wow, is it so enjoyable?"

I didn't come to see it myself, but took some photos and posted them online. What a waste of great resources.

"It's a pity that his family just spent a lot of money on renovations. Now they didn't make any money and can hardly stay in the town. Such a good shop is priced at 200,000, but no one wants it. I heard that they are moving to another place."

"Huh?"

Xu Shang's heart moved slightly and he looked around the store.

Houses in the town are really not expensive these days. In a relatively poor place like Sanma Town, you can get a nice house for tens of thousands of yuan... However, the prices of different houses obviously cannot be generalized.

For example, the building where Liuji Noodle House is located is located in a prime business location inside the vegetable market. For a house like this, one storefront would definitely cost at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, but Liuji Noodle House has two storefronts.

Two hundred thousand, not expensive!

Perhaps because of the public opinion, it seems that no one has taken action against this store yet. Xu Shang became interested and quickly returned to Tianya Village and informed Jiang Fuguo of the news.

Jiang Fuguo also told Xu Shang another piece of news, that is, they have decided to set up a rural enterprise, with Xu Shang holding 51% of the shares and they holding 49%.

After hearing this decision, Xu Shang shook his head and insisted that he would only own 49% of the shares at most.

This two percent gap may seem small, but it actually involves a battle for controlling rights.

Yes, it is indeed a very pleasant thing to hold controlling rights, but according to laws and regulations, if the collective does not have absolute controlling rights, it cannot be called a collective enterprise.

Moreover, Xu Shang believed that this enterprise must fundamentally belong to the large collective of Tianya Village, rather than to him personally.

All villagers must be made aware that they are also owners of the enterprise.

As for whether the issue of controlling rights would lead to the villagers kicking him out, Xu Shang was not worried.

If he could be kicked out even though he held a 49% controlling stake, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself. After all, one's popularity must have to be so bad that he couldn't even get a 2% stake.

Of course, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. This is why Xu Shang wants to take 49% of the shares, which basically guarantees that Xu Shang will not encounter a fire in the rear.

Xu Shang believes that most of the villagers are simple and honest, but he also firmly believes that human nature cannot withstand the test.

After the issue of controlling rights came to an end, Xu Shang and Jiang Fuguo discussed the purchase of Liu Ji Noodle House.

Xu Shang definitely cannot take out this money for the time being.

Xu Shang provided two options. The first option was that the villagers would pay for the property and he would repay the villagers within half a year and pay 10% interest. The second option was that the villagers would pay for the property as their contribution to the equity investment.

Jiang Fuguo insisted on the second plan. After all, he felt that Xu Shang was willing to help them make money, which was already a great loss. If the village could not make any contribution at all, it would be too unreasonable.

However, after hearing that they had to pay, some people subconsciously asked back:

"What, I have to pay more?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fuguo was furious and stared at the man in anger: "You still don't want to, it's our blessing that Xiao Xu is willing to start a business with us. I don't know how much money you can make from selling that cake in a year, are you still afraid that you can't get your money back? If you don't want to, fine! The village enterprise won't make much more with you, and it won't make much less with you! You should withdraw!"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!"

The villager hurriedly explained and apologized, and at the same time couldn't help but think of the scene where he saw Xu Shang selling cakes in the vegetable market.

The cakes were selling so well that he believed that he could make back his investment in just one year, let alone ten times the amount.

"Village leader, what I mean is, can I take care of it all by myself?"

When the others heard this, they cursed angrily: "180,000, do you have that much money?"

"I don't have money, can I borrow it?"

"Even if you sold your pants and then worked in the mines to sell your body, you still couldn't borrow 180,000!"

Jiang Fuguo stopped the quarrel in time and started the specific plan of collecting the money. Unexpectedly, the villagers started quarreling over the division of shares again this time, which made Jiang Fuguo very anxious. He simply called Xu Shang in to discuss how to divide the shares more scientifically.

Jiang Fuguo initially wanted to divide the shares by household, but after Xu Shang reminded him, he thought that if he did not make any money, it would be ok. If he did make money, there would be 200 more households in the village. So he decided to divide the shares by headcount.

The plan formulated by Xu Shang is that their collective shares are not a specific percentage for each person, but an overall amount, with certain dynamic changes.

To put it simply, if there are three people, each person will have one share, for a total of three shares; if there are five people, there will be a total of five shares; the overall situation remains unchanged, and each person will have one share.

On this basis, Jiang Fuguo formulated more detailed rules.

Children and married women are counted as half a share. When children grow up and married women have lived in the village for five years, they become one share. When the elderly die, women marry, or their household registration is moved, the shares are bought back at ten times the annual dividend, and the money comes from the overall dividend.

Jiang Fuguo also set a rule, that is, except for those whose household registration has been moved out due to reasons such as joining the army or going to college, those who keep their household registration in the village are considered shareholders only, and they must live in the village for two months a year to receive dividends.

Except for some complaints about the requirement of living there for two months a year, everyone basically agreed with everything else.

Xu Shang looked at Jiang Fuguo with some admiration. It could be said that Jiang Fuguo had put a lot of effort into defending Tianya Village.

The next thing was simple. Although Tianya Village was very poor, there were more than 200 households. If the people working in the city were counted, there were several hundred people. With 400 yuan per person, 200,000 yuan could be collected.

Those who really have no money can help each other by borrowing money, and also grit their teeth and contribute their own strength.

Xu Shang was deeply moved. It was not easy for such a poor village to collect two hundred thousand yuan. Although this might only be the money for a few wheels of the rich guys outside the door, it was obvious that the significance of it was completely different.
