Ji Yun went to the village chief's house to discuss development matters.
Explaining all the pros and cons clearly will be beneficial to the village's development.
Village chief Zhang Dabiao hesitated and said, "Ji Jia'er, do you really have that much money to invest? Approval isn't the problem, the key is the funding. It needs to start at least in the tens of millions."
Several village officials also shook their heads. Although the collective land could be used for development and the profits could be distributed as dividends, the investment was simply too much.
Ji Yun thought about it. There were too many things to deal with in this matter, and he would have to deal with many people. If someone tried to obstruct him, although he could handle it with his current abilities, it would still be troublesome.
“I’ll handle things that can be solved with money. You just need to communicate with the villagers and get the documents approved. If everyone agrees, we can get started immediately. This place isn’t a big city, so development won’t cost much, but it will benefit the whole village. You all understand that…”
He paused and continued, "I plan to invest 30 million, and add more later if that's not enough. It will mainly be for the restoration of the beach and at least two hotels. Everything will be done and operated by the village, without any external investment."
Village chief Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up immediately. Money is good; money makes things easier.
"Don't worry, as long as you have the money, we can handle everything else."
Village head Wang Weibao thought for a moment and said, "Getting every household to agree isn't that simple. We need to communicate with them first, and then there's the road construction, the cleaning up of the beach, and all the other construction costs. These are all quite expensive. A rough estimate would be over ten million yuan. Add the two hotels, and it'll be around thirty million yuan. But how do we make money after it's all done?"
The village chief was also troubled and sighed, "Our place is too far from the county town, so there is no need for people to come to our village to play, unless people from dozens of neighboring villages come to play, but they can't make any money at all. They may not even be able to earn the daily cleaning and maintenance fees."
Paying to enter the scenic spot is definitely not an option; if we want to make money, we can only develop entertainment projects.
As long as it's popular, you can come and play for free. Taking photos, enjoying the scenery, and even swimming are all free, but you'll need to pay for some activities.
"Regardless of whether it makes money or not, as long as the village is well-developed, we can live comfortably, the elderly can go down to play occasionally and do square dancing, and the young people will have a place to play when they come back for holidays. In short, I'll cover the cost."
After Ji Yun finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "Village Chief, you should register two companies, then print out all the contracts and agreements. Once the villagers agree, they can sign them. You can split up and work separately. The village director and other officials can review and approve the documents. Do it all at the same time. If you encounter any obstacles, contact me."
Zhang Dabiao clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! Finally, a capable person has emerged in the village. I've known you're good since you were a kid. When you were a child, you got covered in cow dung while frying it, but you didn't cry. I knew then that you would be extraordinary in the future."
Ji Yun was speechless. Could they even have a conversation? He waved his hand and said, "You guys go and handle it. I have things to do here. Let me know when everything is settled."
After chatting for a few minutes, Ji Yun returned home.
Yuexi was looking through Ji Yun's things, including childhood photos, graduation photos, and so on. She even found a love letter written to him by a girl.
"To my dear deskmate: Hello Ji Yun, we're about to graduate from junior high. From the moment you sat next to me, I liked you, but I didn't dare to talk to you or confess my feelings. I really like you. You have long hair and you're very handsome, which deeply attracted me..."
Yuexi held her breath, her eyes glued to the screen. "How could someone write love letters to this scumbag? His hair is clearly very short."
When Ji Yun entered the room, he saw her holding the paper and immediately sensed something was wrong. He rushed over to snatch it, but Yue Xi wouldn't give it to him and hid it behind her back.
"Give it back to me!" Ji Yun tried to grab it from the left and right, but couldn't get it back.
Yuexi pushed him away and threatened, "Tell me right now, which girl wrote this to you?"
"We haven't been in touch for a long time. I kept this love letter in my book, tucked away, and never found it until long after graduation. It was all over ten years ago. Don't tell me you're jealous of a little kid."
Ji Yun lay on the bed, feeling utterly hopeless, as if she had no more secrets left.
Yuexi read the love letter aloud: "Your hair is long and you're very handsome, which deeply attracted me. Every time you slept during evening self-study, I would secretly watch you. You probably don't know, but once after PE class, the pack of tissues you handed me touched me deeply. I think you're very sunny and gentlemanly. And during breaks, you got into a fight with someone and stood up for your classmate, even though you couldn't win..."
"Please stop reading, I beg you..." Ji Yun covered her face with a pillow.
Yuexi sat on the edge of the bed, pulled aside his pillow, touched his hair, and asked, "Was your hair long before? You had short hair when we first met."
"Give me back that piece of paper, and I'll tell you," Ji Yun said sullenly.
Yuexi squinted at him: "If you don't explain, I'll continue reading."
"I'm telling you, stop reading." We can't let her continue; it's getting increasingly awkward.
Ji Yun opened her phone, went to her social media profile, and found an old photo. Her long bangs reached her chin, covering most of her face.
Yuexi stared intently at the photo, finding it fascinating. "Your hair used to look like this? Can you even see it clearly?"
Ji Yun recalled for a moment before speaking, "I could see half of it. I saw someone bullying my good friend, and since there were only three of them, I went to help. I flicked my bangs and then I realized there were eight more on the right..."
Hahahaha...
Yuexi laughed and kept patting Ji Yun's arm.
A moment later, Yuexi lay in his arms and told him some interesting stories about reading.
Ji Yun looked at the video she posted yesterday on her phone and was surprised to find that it had over a million views and tens of thousands of comments.
"Look at the videos I post, lots of people watch them."
Yuexi glanced at it, then asked with some doubt, "Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?"
"It's okay, they'll just think it's special effects."
The two of them read the comments.
"Cat: The special effects are so realistic! The nearly half-hour video is comparable to a blockbuster production. It's amazing."
"It's getting late: The special effects are even better than Hollywood's rooftop special effects, this is the kind of cultivation movie we've been watching."
User: I told you to cultivate immortality, but you went and built houses instead?
"Perhaps my stomach is upset: The phrase 'No spirits are allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China' was approved by the Heavenly Dao. From then on, all the immortal, demon, and monster paths had 99% of their abilities removed. The weak ones simply disappeared from the world, while the stronger ones could only hide in the deep mountains with the little bit of magic power they still had to avoid the Heavenly Dao's search."
Looking at the comments, Yuexi asked doubtfully, "Is what he said true? But there's no spiritual energy here, so how can there be the Heavenly Dao?"
Ji Yun: "Netizens are just talking nonsense."
