Everyone looked at each other quietly, and one of the men in a red coat smiled and said, "Officer Huo, I have a question. How much compensation are you going to give us?"
Huo Qianli said gently but firmly: "No. It is impossible."
He explained: "The compensation for the six families has a source. The compensation for the other four families came from the road construction project, and the compensation for the two families here came from the construction cost of the medicinal slice factory. If you are compensated, this compensation has no source."
Another villager wearing a green jacket immediately said, "From the cooperative!"
Huo Qianli smiled slightly, "There are more than just you guys in the cooperative. If you take the money, the others will definitely ask for it to be distributed to them. What should we do then? Should we treat everyone equally?"
The man in the red coat smiled and said, "Then send them all!"
Huo Qianli raised a finger, "Let's assume that every family gets 10,000 yuan, which is no different from not getting any. The cooperative was originally participated by the whole village. Originally, there were 2-3 million left at the end of the year, and each family got 20,000-30,000 yuan. Now each family gets 10,000 yuan first, so naturally there will be 10,000 yuan less at the end of the year. Why do we need to do this?"
The red jacket and the green jacket looked at each other and looked at Huo Qianli, "How about this, you send it to us quietly and we won't tell anyone! Don't worry, no outsiders will know!"
"That's enough, you two! Keep talking about this!"
"That's right, Officer Huo has explained it very clearly, why are you still pestering me?"
The rest of the villagers couldn't stand it anymore and finally spoke up.
"Fuck, you guys have so much money and I'm still poor! Why can't I ask?"
"That's right, if you have the guts, don't take the money Murakami is offering you!"
Those two men were not "ordinary people" either, and they started cursing back.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Huo Qianli stretched out his hand to suppress them, "Stop quarreling. The two of you, how about this? It is impossible to give you the money with public funds. I will use my own money to give you the money."
"Officer Huo, you can't do this!"
"That's right, Officer Huo, how can I let you pay?"
"That's not moral!"
The others hurriedly dissuaded them.
The man in the red jacket stiffened his neck and said, "What kind of virtue do you lack? What kind of virtue do you lack? Officer Huo has money, so what's wrong with giving us some subsidies? This is called... showing love, donating money, don't you understand!"
"Fuck you, you have lost all your dignity when you are poor? How dare you say such nasty words!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Huo Qianli quickly spoke up and looked at the two people, "I'm not kidding, I can really pay this money, but I want to make a bet with you."
He pointed at the table, "You just said that you would give the money quietly and never let anyone know. So, I'll give you 20,000 yuan, and you can discuss how to divide the money. I don't care, but you must promise that this matter will not be known by others. As long as anyone other than you knows about it, you will pay me 50,000 yuan! Do you dare to bet?"
The other three immediately laughed, and the two men in red and green jackets, who had been shouting the loudest earlier, immediately became timid.
After being in the village for so long, they all knew that as long as two people knew something, it would never be a secret.
Huo Qianli smiled and was about to speak when the man in the red coat stood up and said, "Forget it, I can't afford to repair this house, you guys do it!"
As soon as these words came out, the green jacket also stood up and said, "That's right, what can we do without subsidies!"
Not only that, the two of them also spoke to the others.
"I advise you to think about it. There is no subsidy, so why rush to repair it?"
"That's right. I'm going to live in this house for so many years, and I'm worried about letting Murakami repair it! I'm worried anyway!"
"You can build wherever you want. If the village starts building something and the location is not comfortable and you don't like it, you will just have to accept it."
These people are often like this. They want to monopolize benefits and encourage others to take risks. If they can't get something themselves, they don't want others to get it.
Huo Qianli's face turned cold, "You two, saying this in front of me, isn't it a bit too much?"
Green Jacket quickly apologized with a smile, "No, no, Officer Huo, please don't misunderstand me! We are just giving them some suggestions. You said it was voluntary."
"We don't need your advice!"
"If you don't correct yourself, I don't want to be your neighbor!"
"If you don't fix it, get out!"
The remaining three people were from Group Three. They dealt with Huo Qianli more often on weekdays, so naturally they had a different level of trust in him. When they saw the man in the red jacket and the man in the green jacket being sarcastic with Huo Qianli, they cursed them directly and mercilessly.
The men in red jacket and green jacket looked upset and had to walk out of the meeting room.
"Officer Huo, please get out of the way. Let's talk it over!"
"Don't worry, we believe you."
"Whatever you say, I'll do it. I wanted to renovate the house anyway, and now Murakami wants to help with it, which is great."
The remaining three people all spoke up and took the initiative.
Huo Qianli was very touched by this attitude, but he felt a little sad.
Previously, he had been going through the roster of the entire village, screening each one one by one.
A dozen or so people were selected based on their economic strength. These people were the most likely to be able to afford to build a house.
Then, we screened out a dozen people based on their geographical location. These people are geographically closer to the village committee, and if they join in, it will reduce the difficulty of site selection.
If these two overlap, they will be the best candidates for the first batch of pilot projects.
The people in the red jacket and the green jacket who just left are two of the few people whose clothes match the two styles.
There are three people left now. Although they can afford to build houses, their residential land is not here, so they still have to find a place to move in.
Not only did the burden not get reduced, but there were three more households that needed to find a place to stay. Huo Qianli couldn't help but sigh that his luck was indeed a bit bad recently.
Forget it, never mind. The worst that can happen is I’ll just have to use this last resort and find a place to level the land with an excavator!
Huo Qianli coughed lightly, "Then let's talk about the specific operation process this time..."
Boom boom boom.
There were several knocks at the door of the meeting room. I looked up and saw the owner of the canteen next to the village committee smiling and saying, "Officer Huo, you're not too late, are you?"
Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows. The owner of this convenience store was ranked first on his list.
"Brother Gu, what are you doing?"
"I'm here to repair the house!" The shop owner smiled and rubbed his hands. "I've been waiting for you to come this morning, but I didn't see you until after one o'clock. Just when you said you were going to come, that old woman in the house couldn't be found for a long time. There was no one to look after the shop, so it was delayed until now. How are you? Are you not too late?"
"No, no, it's just right!"
Huo Qianli laughed, "Come, please sit down!"
