"It's very simple, because my money... didn't grow on trees."
Wang Tianxiao glanced at the person who had called out, as if speaking to him, or perhaps to the person waiting to pay upfront: "Getting electricity into your home is definitely a good thing. I've worked away from home for a long time, and I know very well that every family will need electricity in the future. This time, the power supply station is subsidizing the installation, so the price will be much lower. As far as I know, if you don't participate this time, the subsidy will be canceled later, and you'll have to pay 300 yuan per day."

Fifty yuan is already enough to make many people tremble with fear, but when it comes to three hundred, some people are almost scared out of their wits.
"Therefore, since we are all fellow villagers and I have some spare money, I am willing to help everyone get the main line connected first. If you ask me what benefit I get from this, there is actually none. We are all smart people and should be able to understand this."
"As for why it's not free, I won't explain further. I'll focus on the payment after three years," Wang Tianxiao said, pausing slightly to give the audience a buffer:
"The reason is simple: this money is essentially a loan from me to everyone. If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again. If you don't want to repay, that's fine too, as long as you never need to connect electricity to your home again. It's a two-way choice, and everyone is acting voluntarily."
Wang Tianxiao signaled to Wang Dabao that he had said enough.
Wang Tianbao understood immediately and continued, "Fellow villagers, uncles and brothers, I have already explained the matter to you, and Brother Tianxiao has also just explained it. I want to emphasize again that bringing electricity to every household is definitely a beneficial thing for everyone. Brother Tianxiao's advance payment of this money is not only a great act of kindness for everyone, but also for our entire natural team."
Seeing some people still making sarcastic remarks and whispering, his face darkened slightly.
"I know some people still don't understand, that's okay. Today is a public meeting. If you really disagree, you can say it directly in front of everyone. Don't say you won't be included when other people have electricity in the future."
Alright, enough chit-chat. Here's an agreement: if you want electricity later but don't have the money right now, come and sign this agreement, and Tianxiao Brothers will cover the cost. If you don't want electricity, then don't bother coming.
"What if we don't have electricity now, but want to have it later?" someone asked from below.
"What are we going to do?" Wang Dabao said impatiently, "You'll have to go to the power supply station yourselves and ask what's going on. I told you before that electricity is to be delivered to every household through a single, integrated power line. If you don't agree now, you won't have a place to work, and then..."
Wang Dabao smiled faintly, "Then you definitely won't get any."
The person who asked the question fell silent.
Even if she really didn't want to pull it, seeing Wang Tianxiao and Wang Dabao say the same thing made her a little insecure.
Wang Dabao is alright; even though he's the team leader, he's not some big shot.
But in everyone's eyes, Wang Tianxiao has now become very mysterious and unpredictable.
That's human nature. We're filled with jealousy towards those who are slightly better than us, and we always feel uncomfortable with them. But if someone is much better than us, we start to envy them.
In the eyes of the villagers, Wang Tianxiao, who drives a luxury motorcycle, eats a government job, and can casually take out several years' worth of their income, has become unattainable.
This has exceeded their expectations.
Therefore, many of them actually believed what Wang Tianxiao said deep down.
The fear of difficulty is simply because one is really short of money.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Tianxiao added with a smile, "Electricity is indeed a good thing. We will rely on it for many aspects of our lives in the future, so there's no need to worry. We must look forward to the future, right? We can't stay stuck in the past and be afraid to look ahead. I guarantee that everyone will be very happy once electricity is connected to our homes..."
"What if we find that the electricity isn't working? Uncle Tianxiao, you have money, but we don't. Getting electricity back up isn't a small expense," someone asked from below.
Wang Tianxiao looked in the direction of the voice, smiled faintly at the person, and said, "How about this, if you really don't like it after the power is on, then we can turn off the power, and I'll refund the money you paid. How about that?"
"this……"
The person was somewhat surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Everyone is the same,” Wang Tianxiao said, looking around the entire team. “If any of you have electricity but don’t want to use it, you can turn it off anytime. Just come to me for the fifty yuan.”
“Tianxiao…” Wang Dabao was quite surprised to hear Wang Tianxiao say this, as it was not within the scope of their discussion.
"It's alright, Brother Da Bao. Tell everyone to come and sign." Wang Tianxiao smiled at him, walked to the side, and made room for the villagers to come forward.
With his assurance, many people's doubts were dispelled, and they began to come forward to sign.
At this time, the agreements were not so detailed. Instead of a separate contract for each company, there was a general letter of intent, under which those who were willing could simply sign their names.
Wang Tianxiao stood to the side, smiling as he watched everyone sign their names.
He has basically achieved his goal.
It even exceeded his expectations.
From Wang Dabao's perspective, it was already quite difficult for Wang Tianxiao to pay so much money upfront. No matter how you looked at it, it was a losing proposition. Therefore, Wang Dabao hoped things would go more smoothly, so that he could at least feel better.
