Chapter 106 Blackmail: I won’t donate anymore
"Do you think I have plenty of money? I will give you any amount of money you want."
Su Yang looked at everyone with a cold face. These words made everyone swallow their saliva, especially those villagers who were making trouble.
"I'm telling you, I'm rich, and that's my business. It has nothing to do with you. You think I'm willing to donate this road? That's nonsense. Which son of a bitch is willing to donate this road to you? If my wife hadn't heard that you guys did me a favor when I was little and insisted on donating this road, I wouldn't bother with this matter."
"You're still trying to blackmail me! Don't you know who I am? From childhood to adulthood, none of you have ever asked for a penny from me. I've always cheated you out of it."
"If you don't let me fix it, I don't want to fix it. Not only do I not want to fix this road, I don't want to fix the school either. Why don't I take this money and go to the city to find a community and buy a few houses? Then I can bring Zhang Mama and Keke and the others to the city. The education there is better and life is more convenient. Why should I let them suffer in this poor mountain valley?"
Su Yang's face was filled with disdain, which made everyone's face become extremely embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say. Looking at the villagers, Su Yang snorted coldly.
"As for you, I don't care whether you live or die. Your life or death has nothing to do with me. Originally, I wanted to help you make some money so that you can live a better life. After all, I abused you when I was a child, and I also stole your chickens and ducks. I also understand the principle of repaying a drop of water with a spring. But some people are not happy. Damn it, I paid for you to build a road, and you treated me like a fat sheep. Why do you only want good things?"
"Go away, you don't have to move. I won't repair this road, and I won't build a school. Today I'm taking Mother Zhang and the others away. As for you continuing to live a poor life in this poor mountain valley, you deserve it. I, Su Yang, am a benevolent and righteous person, and I have done everything I should do. But there are people who don't want you to live a good life. You can't blame me, blame them..."
Su Yang said coldly, and turned around to leave. Seeing Su Yang was about to leave, many villagers' faces changed immediately.
"Yangyang, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely."
The village chief Su Baoping quickly grabbed Su Yang, saying that Su Yang couldn't leave. If the rich man left, where would he find a second one?
"Sixth uncle, what are you talking about? You should know very well what I, Su Yang, want to do when I come back this time. Originally, I came back to hold the wedding this time because I wanted my wife to help our village. I want to use my wife's fame to help our village get rich and let our village live a good life. After all, I also grew up here, have eaten your food, and received your kindness. I dare not say more, but when our village develops, I can still guarantee that every household will make hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. But look, look at these people. They don't want to. They don't want you to get rich. Well, this time I, Su Yang, am meddling in other people's business. I, Su Yang, would like to apologize to all the uncles, brothers, and sisters for disturbing you during this period. From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I take mine. This should be okay, I can hide from you if I can't afford to offend you."
Su Yang looked at the village chief and said that when the villagers who were watching the fun heard that each household could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, their eyes suddenly turned green.
"Yangyang, what you said is true. Can you really earn that much in a year?"
A middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask.
"Aunt Wu, is it fun for me to lie to you? My wife is a big star. She can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions just by singing a song. Is there any need to lie to you? My wife has already said it. She wants to set up a company in our village and build the brand of our Sanshan Village. Do you know what a brand is? Look at my slippers. Do you know what brand they are?"
Su Yang stretched out his foot to show the fake Donkey brand slippers he was wearing, and this action made everyone shake their heads.
"I'm telling you, this is called a donkey brand, a famous brand. Just this pair of slippers costs over two thousand. You ask what's the difference between this and the twenty-yuan slippers we buy? I tell you, there's absolutely no difference. They're not even necessarily as good as the twenty-yuan slippers we buy. But their brand is a luxury product. As long as it carries their trademark, people will be willing to pay a high price for it. That's the power of branding. My wife said that once we build up our Sanshan Village brand, the rice we grow will sell for at least twenty or thirty yuan per pound. And our homemade hams will sell for at least one or two thousand each. Do the math yourself, and by then we'll be making over a hundred thousand yuan a year, which wouldn't be easy..."
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of rich people out there who don't care about money at all when they buy things. A belt costs tens of thousands, a pair of socks hundreds. They only look at the brand, not the price."
"Hey, why am I telling you all this? It's completely useless. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. You guys continue chatting. Sixth Uncle, if you have the chance to come to Yanjing next time, remember to call me. I'll treat you to roast duck from Quanjude..."
Su Yang said this and was about to leave.
"Hey, Yangyang, don't go. Don't be angry, don't be angry, Su Sanbao, come here and apologize to Yangyang. Damn you, you guys whose consciences have been eaten by dogs, believe it or not, I will piss on your face. Yangyang came back to lead everyone to prosperity. If you don't want to get rich, get out of Sanshan Village and never come back..."
"Yes, if you don't want to stay here, get out. Yangyang, don't be angry. Damn it, if they don't move, I won't let them go. Su Sanbao, do you have any conscience..."
In the yard, the villagers who were originally watching the excitement immediately became indignant. Their faces were filled with anger, and they wanted to eat the troublemakers alive.
This was a terrifying sight, and the villagers' eyes were red. They were indeed red-eyed. The blueprint Su Yang had painted for them was too good to be true. Earning hundreds of thousands of yuan a year in the village was like a dream.
Since their own interests were not involved just now, these people just watched the fun.
Things are different now, they know Su Yang's plan. If Su Yang is driven away by these bastards, who will they go with to make money, and who will build roads for them?
What Su Yang said was absolutely true; they knew him well. Su Yang, that bastard, had been a money-grubber since he was little. He was a money-grubber, someone who only cared about the good things he had and never suffered any loss. He had robbed his family's chickens and ducks many times, but there was no evidence. He'd always go to the mountains and eat everything before returning.
The village committee became lively. The few villagers who had been causing trouble finally backed down. They had no choice but to back down. If they didn't back down, they would incur public anger. In this mountain village, the consequences of incurring public anger could be very dire. They might even make you unable to leave the village.
After that, things went much more smoothly.
Faced with the jealous villagers, Su Sanbao and his men no longer dared to act rogue. The elders of the clan also stood up and told everyone directly that any family that dared to block the road construction would be expelled from Sanshan Village, and even after death, they would not be buried in the ancestral tomb, and their memorial tablets would not be allowed in the Su family ancestral hall.
The matter was perfectly resolved. Seeing Su Sanbao and the others obediently signing the contract in the village committee, Zhang's mother and Qin Shuyao both laughed. Especially Qin Shuyao, her eyes were filled with admiration.
Su Yang's strategy of retreating to advance was brilliant. Profits moved people's hearts. With just the promise of benefits, Su Yang wouldn't have to do anything, and the villagers would have completely subdued these unruly people. For the villagers of Sanshan Village, who had lived in poverty for generations, the opportunity to get rich was too rare. They had finally gotten this opportunity, and they had to seize it at all costs. Anyone who dared to stand in their way of prosperity would be their enemy.
