Seeing everyone looking at him, Mo Youxian knew that ultimately he had to make the final decision. He pondered for a moment, carefully considering Mo Yuan's words. In fact, Mo Youxian had always supported this matter; this meeting was merely a formality. However, he hadn't expected Mo Yuan's words to bring him such a pleasant surprise.
Normally, Mo Yuan seemed very intelligent, but he never fully demonstrated his abilities. Mo Youxian had never heard him mention anything about the village's future plans. Mo Youxian also remembered that when County Magistrate Bao Ruijin personally asked for his views and suggestions on the county's economic development, Mo Yuan always gave perfunctory answers and empty, clichéd remarks.
At the time, Mo Youxian thought that Mo Yuan was just relying on his intelligence and some tricks.
When faced with reality, he was helpless; after all, he was just a twenty-year-old young man.
But now it seems I was wrong. If the plans Mo Yuan just proposed are implemented as planned, Xiao Mo Village could really undergo a dramatic transformation.
This shows that Mo Yuan has indeed been harboring his own thoughts all along. Otherwise, how could he have blurted out so much all at once? He doesn't seem to think about these things much usually!
That's true; Mo Yuan is now solely focused on getting rich. If it weren't for the current environment, and the fear of being envied or retaliated against, Mo Yuan wouldn't be thinking so much about the village collective. He just needs to run his business well and make enough money.
Who would bother with people who are irrelevant to them? However, after careful consideration, Mo Yuan decided that it wouldn't work. At present, being able to do something under the name of the village collective and incidentally accumulate some initial start-up capital was already a great achievement.
It's impossible to achieve anything by relying solely on one's own efforts. That's why Mo Yuan always thinks about how to benefit the village collective and shares the benefits that he could have enjoyed alone.
It's good to take shelter under a big tree. In the end, things are not mature enough yet, and we have to rely on the collective of Xiaomozhuang Village to make any progress. If it had been a few years later, perhaps Mo Yuan wouldn't have had to be so constrained!
However, every advantage has its disadvantages. It is impossible to wait until everything is settled and policies are relaxed before setting sail. By then, it will be too late, and the benefits of the era will have been divided up by others. Taking the first step will make it easier to take off!
Mo Youxian stared at Mo Yuan in a daze, a sigh escaping his lips. If only Mo Yuan had displayed such outstanding talent sooner! He even considered handing over his position to Mo Yuan.
Perhaps, if Mo Yuan had shown his talent earlier, the village's household contract responsibility system wouldn't have been delayed until today. Where did his courage and decisiveness from back then go?
However, Mo Youxian also knew that young people need more experience and room to grow. After all, Mo Yuan was only twenty years old and had just begun to show his talent. Although he knew something about Mo Yuan's past, he was quite surprised by the huge changes in him after starting a family.
Mo Youxian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that young people undergo such earth-shattering changes once they get married? It's like being reborn!
It seems premature to have Mo Yuan immediately take over my position. There are still some interpersonal and social issues that a young person might not be able to handle properly. Perhaps after a few more years of experience, once Mo Yuan has accumulated enough expertise, we can consider entrusting him with the responsibility.
But Mo Youxian didn't want to let this opportunity slip away easily. He had an idea: since the young people already had certain abilities, they should shine for the group. In the future, if anything happens, he should let them come out and hone their skills.
As for the allocation of land, let's make the decision ourselves.
Mo Youxian cleared his throat. "Mo Yuan is right. Since the country has the guts to set up development zones and attract investment as pilot projects, what are we, a small village, afraid of? Besides, Mo Yuan is right. He's a villager after all. Even if we rent the land to him, it's like keeping the wealth within the village. Besides, that land is basically wasteland that doesn't grow crops. It's just sitting idle anyway. If, as Mo Yuan says, he can really boost the village's economy and give the young men a proper job, that would be a great achievement. So it's settled then, the land will be rented to Mo Yuan! Who agrees and who disagrees?"
With Mo Youxian speaking and Mo Yuan explaining the situation, dispelling the concerns of some skeptics, who would want to cause trouble by objecting? The resolution was quickly passed unanimously, and Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Things had finally been resolved satisfactorily, and he was eager to finalize the details so construction could begin. "Then, how will the rent be calculated?" Mo Yuan asked excitedly. "I'll go home and get the money!" He was about to leave when Mo Youxian grabbed him.
Mo Yuan looked surprised. "Third Uncle, no, Secretary Mo, what's wrong? Didn't you say you'd rented the land to me? You're not going to go back on your word, it was just a wasteland to begin with..." Mo Yuan thought Mo Youxian had changed his mind and quickly tried to persuade him, but the other party waved his hand dismissively. "How could I regret it? A grown man's word is his bond. What's said is said, and there's no going back. I said I'd rent it to you, so I rented it to you!"
Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. That's good, that's good!
"Then you guys discuss how much it will cost per year, and we need to draft a contract!" Unexpectedly, Mo Youxian said indignantly, "What are you talking about? We're from the same village, we'll see each other all the time, talking about money will hurt our feelings, let's not ask for money!"
