Town Central Village.
It was still Director Chen.
Wu An knocked on the door and entered the office area, where only Director Chen was present.
Wu An took a walk around and said that although he had come several times, he had never seen any other cadres, and today was no exception.
Director Chen greeted him with the same enthusiasm as always.
I invited him to sit down first.
Then he got up and poured tea.
Wu An exchanged a few polite words but didn't actually sit down. Instead, he waited for Director Chen to put down his teacup and sit down before he followed suit.
"The village has already helped negotiate and plan the road, including the reinforcement of the pond. I just talked to Mr. Li about the plan, and there are basically no problems." Director Chen paused, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "The village has already helped arrange all the materials."
Wu An suddenly realized.
We agreed from the beginning that we would help with the negotiation and planning.
So, that's all?
Now the village is helping him purchase materials, but instead of helping him share the burden, they're planning to make a quick buck from it?
No wonder Director Chen's expression was a bit strange.
Wu An understood everything, but he didn't intend to reveal it. He believed in seeing through things but not saying them out loud, because saying them would offend people, and one shouldn't do things that offend people lightly.
Gao Qiangqi had told him this from the very beginning.
He wholeheartedly agreed.
After all, he's going to do things in the village, so it wouldn't be too difficult for someone to mess with him. They wouldn't even need to show up in person; his guesthouse business could very well "die before it even gets off the ground" over some trivial matter.
He didn't rush to express his opinion, but picked up his teacup.
I took a sip.
hiss.
It's too hot to eat.
He blew on it, took a small sip, let the tea linger in his mouth before drinking it, and soon his tongue felt numb.
Seeing that Wu An remained silent, Director Chen coughed twice and said, "If you agree, the excavator can be brought in this afternoon, and construction can begin tomorrow. Boss Li said that he can't spare any manpower, but the village can help arrange manpower."
"This road isn't just for you to use."
"People are coming out of the houses on both sides of this road."
“I’ll keep an eye on it myself.”
Hearing Director Chen's statement, Wu An could no longer maintain his composure and said, "Thank you, Director Chen."
"Okay."
"As for the materials, the village committee will handle it. After the project is completed, I will go through the motions of inspection, and the village committee will give me a receipt before I settle the bill."
"By the way, although the road is for everyone to use, the main purpose of this road construction is for the guesthouses. I started it. It's very hot today, so there will be plenty of drinks and popsicles."
"I'll talk to the village store later and ask them to deliver two or three times a day."
It's gotten to this point already.
What else is there to say? It's better to be generous. Being stingy will only make people make money but also make them feel uncomfortable, which is not good.
He'll give them a little something extra; he'll be obligated to help them out. He doesn't expect them to do anything for him, he just wants them to stay out of trouble later.
"You really know how to handle things, buddy." Director Chen was quite satisfied with Wu An's attitude and praised him highly: "Then I thank you on behalf of everyone."
Wu An smiled to himself, thinking that there was no need for thanks. After construction started, he would definitely have to make an appearance so that everyone would know who had treated him. He then changed the subject and asked, "Director Chen, what about the wasteland near Chen Jun's house that we agreed on before..."
Upon hearing this, Director Chen immediately smiled.
He took a drawing out of the drawer and called Wu An over to take a look.
When Wu An came over, he saw that it was a topographical map of the village.
Director Chen took out a red pen, drew a circle on it, and said, "The village has decided to allocate this entire area to you."
"It's a total of fifteen mu."
"For a year, it's 2500."
"It can be contracted for 30 years."
Wu An lay down and looked carefully. The circle that Director Chen drew was much larger than the area he had asked for before. Previously, the area he and Teacher Fan had looked at together was only four or five acres.
He was naturally happy to accept the extra.
He thought for a moment and said, "Director Chen, what is the maximum contract term?"
Director Chen was taken aback, and hesitated before saying, "Fifty years, I guess."
“Then I’ll set it at 50 years. I have only one request: the contract fee cannot be increased within those 50 years.”
"This... shouldn't be a big problem. Let me revise the contract."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Chen."
Not long after, Director Chen returned with three copies of the contract: one for Wu An, one for the village committee, and one for filing.
There are several pages.
Wu An flipped through it briefly, but couldn't quite understand it; it was all so complicated. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Director Chen, how about this, the village committee should also determine the contract period?"
"I'll take the contract back and review it carefully."
"Confirmed."
"Let's meet before dark."
Director Chen was taken aback, not expecting Wu An to be so cautious, and nodded, saying, "That's fine too."
Director Chen found a document form, put the contract inside, and Wu An stood beside him, slurping his tea.
Tea scalding.
He was actually quite thirsty; the soy milk was delicious, but it didn't quench his thirst.
Director Chen packed the contract, took the document bag, and put down his teacup.
Director Chen saw him to the door, where they ran into other members of the village committee. Wu An greeted them with a smile, and everyone returned the greeting with smiles, calling him Boss Wu.
Wu An responded with a chuckle, thinking to himself that Boss Wu is indeed Boss Wu, but adding "kid" to his name means that if he really showed his true colors, these old guys would all have to call him brother.
Wait for everyone to come inside.
Director Chen lowered his voice slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard. I hope you can make the homestay a success and help everyone get rich together."
"I've heard some news about it recently."
"If you get it done sooner, there might be policy support or subsidies. I'll definitely try to get them for you."
Wu An's eyes lit up.
It seems that the trend of cultural tourism is about to take off.
"Actions speak louder than words, Director Chen. Just you wait and see." Wu An smiled and spoke frankly. There was really no need for grandstanding; this was his career, and he was determined to make it a success.
If he does a good job, Director Chen will also achieve results, and the town's villages will also benefit from this opportunity. Anyone with a little foresight can see that there are many advantages to this.
Those with a quick mind will definitely benefit.
He quickly thanked them and led Aqing and Mai Hangyu outside.
After going out.
Mai Hangyu couldn't help but complain, "Brother, you're too easy to talk to."
"I listened at the door, and all the village's wishful thinking was jumping out at my face."
"I know without even looking at the place that Director Chen planned is definitely the wasteland near the hills by the sea."
"That place was originally useless. You can't farm on the hilltop. Even if you could clear out a piece of land, you could only grow vegetables and the like. It's near the sea, with jagged rocks and some places where the waves are so strong that you can't even go beachcombing. At most, it's just a decent beach."
"Only occasionally do anglers go fishing."
In his opinion, that wasteland was worthless.
But in Wu An's eyes, it was a treasure trove, a place where people rarely ventured, where there were towering waves, and where there was a feeling unlike anything else.
If it's nothing special, why would tourists come here?
And what makes tourists linger?
certainly.
Since we're going to run a bed and breakfast, safety must be our top priority.
Wu An smiled and said, "When we run bed and breakfasts and make investments, it's really just about turning waste into treasure and making money that ordinary people can't even imagine or earn right now, right?"
"If this were Sanya, would it even be our turn to make money?"
