"My original intention was to provide welfare for the village, but some villagers have better family conditions, so these 2,000 yuan worth of New Year's goods will not actually reach every household."
"For families who drive cars worth more than 400,000 yuan, I won't give them these New Year gifts, because they are fully capable of buying them themselves."
Hearing this, Shen Feilin's eyes flashed.
He remembered the incident of Shen Yi digging the road a few days ago. Wasn’t the car driven by Shen Yi’s son Shen Fei worth more than 400,000?
He understood a little.
This Shen Chuan is going to cause trouble for Shen Yi's family.
But Chen Chuan is sending money and supplies. Where can we find such a good thing?
His parents are still alive, and the two old people can get 10,000 yuan. He has no reason not to help Shen Chuan.
Thinking of this, he immediately said meaningfully: "You are right, those families who can afford to buy a car worth more than 400,000 yuan really don't need financial support from the village."
Chen Chuan and he exchanged a glance, and there was an indescribable sense of telepathy between them.
"Uncle Feilin is indeed sensible."
"I have decided that every year at this time, I will provide 5,000 yuan in living expenses to the elderly over 70 in the village. At the same time, the 2,000 yuan for New Year's goods will also remain unchanged."
Shen Feilin marveled at Shen Chuan's courage and was also pleased with his generosity.
With these two major benefits, the voice of their village office will increase dramatically in the future, which will bring immeasurable benefits to their future work.
Soon, the roster was brought to the conference room, and Shen Yong and his two companions, as well as several village cadres from the village office, began to check the roster.
As for Shen Chuan, he used the excuse of going out to smoke a cigarette and winked at Shen Feilin at the same time.
The latter understood and followed him out.
The two entered Shen Chuan's car. Shen Chuan handed him a cigarette and said, "Uncle Feilin, have a cigarette."
Shen Feilin was not polite, he took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and said with a click of his tongue: "It turns out that the more expensive the cigarette, the better it is."
He glanced at Chen Chuan and said with a smile, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "I've noticed the changes in the village these past few days since I came back, but I found that there haven't been many changes. It's basically still the same as it was more than a decade ago."
"As a native of Moon Village, seeing this scene, to be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Shen Feilin understood the implication and climbed up the pole.
"Our county has just been lifted out of poverty. The money the county government can allocate to the village is barely enough to ensure that the five-guarantee households have enough food and clothing. It is very difficult to develop the entire village."
Shen Chuan smiled knowingly, stared at Shen Feilin, and said: "I can understand Uncle Feilin's difficulties. Now that I have achieved some success, I want to make some contributions to the village, but I don't know how to do it. I wonder if Uncle Feilin has any suitable suggestions?"
Shen Feilin asked in return: "What you did today, isn't it a contribution to the village?"
"This is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If we want the village to become prosperous, we need to address the problem fundamentally."
"Look at the road in front of us. It's only a little over three meters wide. If two cars pass each other, they could collide with each other if they're not careful. They could even fall into the river more than 20 meters high."
"There's also the lighting issue. When I drove up from town, I found many villages had street lights, which greatly facilitated travel at night. But our village was still pitch black at night."
Having said that, Shen Chuan said no more.
Shen Feilin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you willing to invest in widening the road and building streetlights?”
“There are indeed considerations in this regard.”
Shen Feilin suddenly laughed. He took a deep puff of cigarette and said seriously, "Shen Chuan, there are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
He pointed at himself and said meaningfully, "Uncle Feilin is a straightforward person."
"Ha ha."
Shen Chuan chuckled.
"In that case, I won't waste any more time talking."
"As for me, I'm planning to tear down our old house and rebuild it, but the current plot of land is too small to build a grand house."
"So, I hope Uncle Feilin can give me some advice on how I can expand the area of this homestead a little bit."
Shen Feilin frowned and said in a deep voice: “Shen Chuan, the control of homesteads is strict now, this matter is not so easy to solve.”
"Uncle Feilin, don't worry. I don't want much. I just want the piece of land where we are now."
"What!" Shen Feilin said in disbelief, "You want that house and land? How is that possible!"
"That lot is at least several hundred square meters. How could we possibly let you build a house there?"
"Besides, there are several other households near the site. How could they agree to you building a house? That's simply ridiculous."
Chen Chuan took a puff of his cigarette, his expression looking somewhat deep.
"I believe that money can solve 99% of the problems in this world."
“Except for Shen Yi’s family, I don’t mind spending tens or even hundreds of millions to get their consent.”
“If Uncle Feilin is willing to mediate, this matter will not be difficult to accomplish.”
"No, no!" Shen Feilin shook his head. "This matter cannot be resolved by my mediation. If someone reports it to the town or county, not only will you not be able to build your house, but I will also be fired."
"Oh, if Uncle Feilin can consider something, how can I not consider it?"
Chen Chuan threw the cigarette butt out of the car and said calmly, "I want this place not for my own selfish reasons, but to build a place for the village to relax and have fun after dinner."
"Looking at the entire Moon Village, the most suitable place for building an entertainment venue is the fish pond that has been abandoned for many years."
"The fish pond occupies one-third of the site and is large enough to build a standard basketball court."
"I plan to build a children's playground, billiards, badminton and other sports venues on this land. I can also build sports facilities so that the villagers can have a place to relax after dinner."
Shen Feilin's brows were still knitted together, and he said bluntly: "This is still not enough! When your house starts construction, as long as one person reports it, this matter will always be a hidden danger."
"Don't worry." Chen Chuan seemed confident. "It's not difficult to revitalize the village economy, but it's not easy either."
"I plan to invest millions to build a bacon smoking and roasting factory for the village. Villagers can smoke and roast bacon here every year. I will also set up a company in the name of the village and be responsible for finding channels to sell the bacon. Can this increase the village's income?"
"In addition, there are pig blood cakes, pickled yellow vegetables, fermented tofu, etc. I can open up a channel for the villagers to increase their income by tens of thousands every year."
"Do you think I can convince the public in this way?"
Shen Feilin was shocked again.
If this can really be done, it will definitely be a great thing. Those elderly people who have no one to rely on will have an economic source and their living conditions can be greatly improved.
"Although this may convince the public, how will you deal with Shen Yi? If he wants to report you, you can't avoid it."
