The next morning, as soon as Chen Feng woke up, he saw Du Jin already waiting for him in the living room on the first floor.
"Oh, Fengzi, you're up." Du Jin stood up and smiled as soon as he saw Chen Feng.
"Hey, what brings you here?" Chen Feng said with a yawn.
"I just wanted to sign a contract with you. My wife and I discussed it, and we figured the sooner we signed it, the better. We didn't want to wait any longer," Du Jin chuckled.
In fact, after learning yesterday that Chen Feng had killed the village chief surnamed Ma, Du Jin was restless at home, feeling both surprised and frightened.
At that moment, he was incredibly grateful that he hadn't clashed with Chen Feng and had left himself a way out.
Otherwise, what should we do now? Chen Feng can kill even the village chief without hesitation, let alone ordinary people like them.
"Oh, so that's what you came for?" Chen Feng said as he sat down at the table.
In fact, even if Du Jin hadn't gone to find Chen Feng today, Chen Feng would have gone to find him anyway.
Everything's settled, it's time to get the certificates.
I just didn't expect Du Jin to be in such a hurry, arriving so early in the morning, which saved Chen Feng a lot of trouble.
"Um, where's the contract? I'll sign it now."
"Let's do it your way. We'll pay you in full within a year. As for the 500,000, forget about it. I'm not in a hurry."
Du Jin didn't not want to ask for the 500,000 yuan in advance, but he didn't dare to ask for it. He was afraid that Chen Feng would hold him accountable later because of this.
After all, no matter what, they did try to raise the price and block Chen Feng's way.
"I haven't drafted the new contract yet, so this will do. I'll transfer the 500,000 to you in a bit. Use it to build a house and buy a car," Chen Feng said casually, taking a contract out of the drawer.
In fact, Chen Feng also wanted to use Du Jin to mock Li Laoqi and his group.
Don't you like to raise prices on the spot? Don't you like to go against me? Aren't you all so arrogant?
Just watch as Du Jin buys houses and cars; as for you, just wait and see.
"Hey, hey, thank you so much, Fengzi!" Du Jin was overjoyed to hear that the conditions hadn't changed and that Chen Feng hadn't even taken it seriously, so he thanked him repeatedly.
Du Jin took the contract, glanced at it briefly, and signed it quickly. Chen Feng asked for his bank card number and transferred 500,000 yuan to him directly.
The moment he received the text message, Du Jin was overjoyed. He stared at it as if in a dream.
Yesterday he was a farmer heavily in debt, but today he's become a rich man, even able to cash out a BBA in full!
The feeling of suddenly becoming rich made him incredibly happy.
"I've received the money. Fengzi, I'll be going now. Please let me know if you need anything, and I'll be happy to assist you." Du Jin stood up, his mouth grinning like a lotus flower.
"Okay, then you can go back now. I'll call you if I need anything," Chen Feng said, standing up.
Du Jin quickly grabbed his phone and happily went out the door, probably to buy a car with his wife.
Chen Feng stretched and prepared to go find Xia Hou later to see which leaders he needed to contact to get the certificate.
After a quick bite to eat in the morning, Chen Feng set off.
He soon arrived at Xiahou's office, where Xiahou was sitting at his desk, drinking tea from a cup.
"Boss, I'm here." Chen Feng knocked on the door and poked his head in to greet them.
"Come in." Xiahou glanced at him and put down his teacup.
"Okay, here you go." Chen Feng, holding the contract, went inside and gently closed the door behind him before approaching Xiahou.
"Leader, thank you for your impartial enforcement of the law last time. On behalf of our entire village, I thank you." Chen Feng grinned.
Xiahou waved his hand, signaling him to get down to business.
"Look, I've already signed the contract. Now, how do I get the necessary permits?" Chen Feng asked, handing over the contract.
Xiahou took a look at the contract and couldn't help but ask, "Why is there only one person's contract? Where are the others'?"
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to sign, it's that they won't sign. I've already offered a very high compensation, but they're demanding more and have become complete holdouts."
"It's really difficult to handle. I'm still negotiating with them," Chen Feng said with difficulty.
However, in reality, Chen Feng never even considered discussing the contract with them. Negotiation? What a load of rubbish.
Xiahou took a deep breath upon hearing this. He knew that holdout households were a difficult problem to solve no matter where they were located.
"Can't you try to persuade him a little more? What exactly is the problem?" Xiahou still wanted him to sign the contract first.
"It's just a matter of money. I'll try my best. I'll talk to them more these next few days and have a good talk with them." Chen Feng nodded in agreement.
"Okay, take this contract to the land bureau, and someone will tell you what to do."
"When do you plan to start developing this mine?" Xiahou asked, looking up.
"I'll wait for the certificate to come through. Everything's ready on my end," Chen Feng replied.
“This certificate takes a long time to process, at least two months,” Xiahou said softly.
"It's alright, sir. I can wait. I will never start mining without the permit," Chen Feng blinked and assured him.
Xiahou narrowed his eyes upon hearing his words, his gaze showing some displeasure.
How come this usually smart young man has suddenly become so stupid?
“That’s not what I meant,” Xiahou added.
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat bewildered.
In fact, Chen Feng understood what Xiahou meant the moment he spoke his first sentence.
Xiahou meant that the certificate would take a long time to be issued, so you should proceed with the harvesting.
If this happened to someone else, they would have understood the leader's meaning and gone straight back to start mining.
But Chen Feng wouldn't do that. If he did, and something went wrong later, Xiahou could easily shirk all responsibility, leaving it all to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng wanted Xiahou to say in person that mining could begin ahead of schedule.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Your certificate is already in the process of being processed. You could easily do some preparatory work first."
"Go back and do what you were doing. Nobody will bother you, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter. Your certificate is already being processed, so what are you afraid of?"
"The city's finances are a bit tight, so you need to start construction as soon as possible, understand?" Xiahou said irritably.
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand now, boss. I'll go back and start work right away," Chen Feng said, feigning sudden realization and making repeated assurances.
The taxes on gold mines are very high, at 45 percent.
That means if Chen Feng earns 100 yuan, he has to hand over 45 yuan to the local government.
Therefore, it's understandable that Xiahou was anxious.
"Alright, hurry up and go. I'll be checking in two weeks," Xiahou urged.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the land bureau right away."
"Thank you, boss. Goodbye, boss." Chen Feng took the contract, bowed and scraped as he left, a flattering smile on his face.
