After chatting for a while, Cao Zheng finally got to the point. "Village Chief Wang, have you ever considered selling the wasteland in Hongxing Village?"
"Take action?" Village Chief Wang immediately grasped the key point. "What do you want?"
Cao Zheng didn't deny it and nodded directly. "Yes, I want to buy a few acres of land to build a house, preferably a wasteland closer to the Yan family. Don't worry, we will definitely not let you and the villagers suffer a loss in terms of price."
Village chief Wang asked in surprise: "Building a house in our Hongxing Village?" Are you sure you are not joking?
"Yes, we're going to build a house in Hongxing Village. When choosing a site, we'll try to be as close to the Yan family as possible. The closer they are, the better."
The rich people in the city really know how to have fun, coming all the way here to buy land and build houses. Could it be that their village is also going to be developed? Otherwise, why didn't they come earlier, why wait until now?
"How many acres do you want? There are a lot of wastelands near the Yan family, which should satisfy you." Village Chief Wang was thoughtful and would not offend anyone here. "Mr. Yan only bought the back mountain. The wasteland still belongs to the village."
Cao Zheng nodded in satisfaction, a look of joy in his eyes, though his face concealed it. "Approximately how much wasteland is there?"
"We do have twenty acres, but the wasteland has too much grass and stones." Village chief Wang looked at the people and reminded them that it is more troublesome to clean up the wasteland. Building houses is easy, but if it is used to grow crops, the yield in the first two years will be worrying. Therefore, no one has ever taken a fancy to the wasteland.
"I don't want more than that. I just want five acres. When you measure the dimensions, remember to measure it as close to the Yan family as possible."
In short, it had to be close to the Yan family. Village Chief Wang understood and said, "We will meet your request unconditionally. How much do you want in terms of price?"
"You set the price. I won't bargain. I just hope that the land deeds and house deeds can be processed as soon as possible." Cao Zheng made a request. Village Chief Wang smiled happily, "Then let's discuss it. You are Mr. Yan's friend. Don't worry, we will definitely not rip you off when we give you the price."
Cao Zheng nodded in agreement. "I trust Village Chief Wang. When can we finalize the price?"
"If you're not busy, come sit at my house for lunch. I'll gather all the village officials to discuss this, and then hold a general meeting with the villagers. After all, this is everyone's village, and it can't be decided by me or a few officials alone, right?"
Village Chief Wang was very kind, and Cao Zheng understood this. He nodded slightly to show that he understood. "Then you are busy. I will go to the Yan family to take a look."
"Alright, I apologize for the poor hospitality. Please take your time."
"Village Chief Wang, that's too much. I'll be leaving now. Come back to me when you have more information."
Village chief Wang responded repeatedly and sent Cao Zheng out of the house. He immediately called together several village cadres to discuss the matter. There were only a few village cadres, and after they all arrived, they went into the main hall with the village chief and sat down.
"Comrades, I've called you here because I have something to discuss with you." Village Chief Wang looked at their faces, all of which were smiling, and then continued, "A man named Cao just arrived. He's a friend of Mr. Yan. He probably heard that Mr. Yan bought a house in Hongxing Village, so he wants to buy a few acres of land to build a house. What do you think is a reasonable price per acre?"
The accountant said, "Just pay the normal price. We in Red Star Village are not black-hearted people. As you said, Mr. Cao is a friend of Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan's character is known to everyone. Since he is Mr. Yan's friend, he must be a good person. Moreover, Mr. Cao must be rich. Wealth can boost the village's income. I can't wait for them to come."
"Me too." The village secretary nodded, and the other three had no objection.
Village Chief Wang smiled and said, "If we can really keep this person, that would be great. Mr. Cao and Mr. Yan have a similar aura, but they are also different. I think their backgrounds are not simple."
"Is he really similar to Mr. Yan?" asked the village secretary curiously.
"They do have some similarities, but Mr. Yan has a stronger aura. Even without saying anything, his every word and action gives people a sense of immense pressure. Mr. Cao is a little less impressive, but for a young man of his age, this is exceptional. I rarely see such a rare talent."
The fact that the village chief described Mr. Cao as a rare talent not only made the village secretary more curious, but also several other cadres. They also wanted to get to know Mr. Cao and see what made him different.
Having met a man as awe-inspiring as Yan Rushan, he left a deep impression on me; I have both admiration and awe for him, and now there is another one, which inevitably makes people curious.
Village Chief Wang said, "Don't worry. After we've discussed it, there's no problem. We also need to discuss it with the villagers. If they don't agree, it's not easy for us cadres to make the decision on our own."
"Very true. Then shall I go and call the village chief over?"
"Okay." Village Chief Wang nodded and continued, "Mr. Cao has delivered some fruit trees that Mr. Yan needs to plant in the back mountain. Some people in the village may be moving them right now. Please notify everyone and at least one head of the family must come."
"clear."
Several people went to each household to notify them, and when they met the head of the family who was helping to unload the goods, they also went to the back mountain in person.
Not long after Cao Zheng arrived at the bus stop, he saw several strangers hurriedly calling away several villagers. After a quick glance, several village cadres knew that Village Chief Wang was not exaggerating. This Mr. Cao really had a similar aura to Mr. Yan.
If they knew to read more books, they would definitely know that it is a noble temperament that is cultivated from childhood; it is a temperament that can only be cultivated by people from well-off families, and their temperament is gradually formed by their mentality, growth environment, and style of behavior over the years.
The heads of each household were summoned, and when they arrived there were more than twenty people, who crowded into the courtyard of the village chief's house.
"Village Chief, we still have to go unload the goods. What's the matter with you calling us here?"
Someone spoke up, and others followed suit.
The village secretary and the accountant smiled and looked at Village Chief Wang at the same time, waiting for Village Chief Wang to start talking about business.
Village Chief Wang raised his hand to suppress the noise, "Everyone, please be quiet. I summoned you here because I have something important to ask you."
"What's the matter? Tell us, we're listening."
"You all know Mr. Yan's family. Today, a friend of Mr. Yan's, surnamed Cao, came to visit. He's here to help Mr. Yan deliver some fruit seedlings. Incidentally, he'd like to buy a few acres of wasteland next to Mr. Yan's house to build a house. Several of us village cadres discussed it and decided that none of us like the wasteland, and we don't want to live there, so we decided to give it to Mr. Cao instead of leaving it there."
"Of course, Mr. Cao won't let our village suffer a loss. Several of us village cadres think that a normal price is enough. What do you think? If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them."
After Village Chief Wang finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the yard. Village Chief Wang waited for a while and then asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"
"No."
"Village Chief, we have no objection. We really have no idea about that wasteland."
"That's right. If we help, the village will be better off."
Nowadays, land transactions are not as rigorous as they were in later generations. After the village has a land deed, they just go to the county town. If the commune has no objection and stamps it, the deal is done.
