Looking at this man who openly opposed him, Zhang Dachuan frowned imperceptibly.
He recognized this person. His name was Li Que, nicknamed Li Guaizi. He was a helper recruited by Wu Runyuan some time ago. He worked hard, but his attitude was a bit off.
Although he is from Xiushan Village, because Li Que’s sister is married to the son of the head of Lingshui Village next door, Li Que has more contacts with Lingshui Village. He gets along well with the villagers there, but on the contrary, he gets along well with the gang in his own village. People, the relationship is average.
He often prefers people from Lingshui Village in public, with his typical elbows turned outward, hence the nickname "Guaizi".
These thoughts flashed through his mind. Facing the villagers who suddenly retreated, Zhang Dachuan could only patiently explain:
"I will only rent the land for five years, and I will pay one year's rent in advance. Once the five-year period is up, I will return the land to everyone in its original form. I will never default on it."
"Not only that, people who rent land to me are equivalent to investing in assets. In addition to rent, they can also enjoy part of the dividends at the end of each year. In terms of benefits, they will definitely not be bad."
When the villagers thought of Zhang Dachuan's generosity, they were moved again.
But Li Que continued to question, as if he was deliberately stirring up trouble:
"Don't be impulsive, don't be deceived by this painting... His business is good now and he makes a lot of money, so it will be fun to give him money, but what about in two years?"
"What if the supermarket goes bankrupt and he's in debt and can't even eat for himself? Will he still be able to give you the money?"
"Don't forget, his opponent is the Fang family."
When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other again.
Their hearts were like grass on the wall at this moment, swinging left and right.
Zhang Dachuan frowned and looked at Li Que, feeling a little unhappy. He didn't understand why this guy always contradicted him.
Just when Ma Hongdou was calmed down, why did Li Guaizi pop up again?
Holding back his anger, Zhang Dachuan raised his hands and swore:
"Don't worry, everyone, even if I am really unlucky and go bankrupt, I will pay you every cent of the rent that I should pay you."
Li Que immediately sneered after hearing this:
"It sounds nice, but who dares to believe it? What if you run away and disappear? Who should we ask for money from?"
"Have you forgotten Chen Baiwan in Magan Village a few years ago? He also rented land to set up a factory, and he also said he would pay dividends on the rent. What happened next? The factory was ruined, and he ran away with a lot of debt. He rented it for ten years They didn’t get a penny for their land.”
"Besides, even if your business is good and you pay rent every year, but the land is rented out, do you still have the final say on how to move it?"
"The land we all own is the treasure passed down from our ancestors. If you don't take care of the land you rented to you, what if you harm it in five years and the crops won't grow and the land turns into dead land?"
Looking at Zhang Dachuan, Li Que spoke with indignation and righteousness. At this moment, he was like the embodiment of justice and a hero asking for life on behalf of the people.
But in fact, he had his own little agenda for obstructing her in every possible way.
The village head of Lingshui Village next door, Huang Guofu's family, is related to Li Que's family. Li Que's sister married Huang Guofu's son, and Li Que also learned a little about the fortune of his brother-in-law's family.
Village Chief Huang engaged in land contracting and rented a large area of land in Lingshui Village to grow sorghum, and then sold the sorghum to the brewing company in Bailong City, making a lot of money.
Not long ago, Li Que went to his brother-in-law's house as a guest. During the dinner, he drank with Huang Guofu. The elder asked him to find a way to persuade the villagers of Xiushan Village to rent the fertile farmland near Lingshui Village to him.
As long as the matter is completed, Li Que can get a lot of commission.
The problem is, if you want to rent fertile land near Lingshui Village, you can't avoid Zhang Dachuan's orchard.
For this reason, Li Que was summoned into Zhang Dachuan's orchard, hoping to cause some damage from within.
Even if Zhang Dachuan cannot be allowed to give up the orchard, Wu Runyuan can still be exploited.
But before he had time to cause damage, Zhang Dachuan was about to expand his territory.
In this case, how can he get the benefits?
That's why Li Que spared no effort to ruin Zhang Dachuan's good deeds.
The villagers in Xiushan Village are all honest people with little education.
They are ignorant, so they are easily misled by others, so they always appear to be on both ends of the spectrum, vacillating.
At this time, when Li Que said that renting land might destroy his family's fields, he immediately became anxious and stepped forward to ask Zhang Dachuan:
"Dachuan, do you really want to touch our land?"
Zhang Dachuan did not deny it, nodded calmly and said:
"Yes, because I want to build a unified ecological breeding base, the land must be renovated and constructed."
At this time, although he had not yet figured out Li Que's reasons for targeting him, he could see the resistance of most of the villagers.
So he stopped forcing and said calmly:
"If you are really worried that this will destroy your land, then I won't force it."
"If you are willing to rent land to me, you can come to me to sign and I will pay you one year's rent in advance. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter."
"Don't worry, I won't let you put on your shoes elsewhere because of this trivial matter. Those who should work here will still work here, and I will not give them less wages."
After listening to his words, the villagers felt at ease. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. For a while, no one wanted to be the first to eat the crab.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yumin and Yang Huaijun looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Then, the two of them each took a step forward and said loudly:
"Dachuan, I don't have time to take care of my land, so I'll rent it to you."
"Yes, Dachuan, we work in your orchard and we get a lot of money every month. I really can't bear to see the harvest from the land."
Zhang Dachuan quickly smiled and thanked:
"Thank you, Brother Yu Min, thank you, Brother Huaijun."
If someone takes the lead, then of course someone will respond.
Several other villagers who were helping in the orchard, after thinking about it, also came forward and decided to support Zhang Dachuan.
In the end, almost eight families were willing to rent land to Zhang Dachuan. Without exception, they were all villagers working in the orchards.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dachuan was unambiguous. He paid a year's rent to several people on the spot and signed a contract with them.
Afterwards, Zhang Dachuan announced the disbandment, turned around and left with Wu Runyuan.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the villagers looked at Zhao Yumin and others who were in high spirits, and suddenly felt that they seemed to have missed a big opportunity.
Someone slapped his thigh regretfully:
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with renting out my land. Dachuan is quite reliable."
"Zhao Yumin and the others have made a lot of money following Zhang Dachuan. If others dare to do it, why don't we dare to do it?"
"I usually envy people who eat meat, but when I do try it, I back down. Alas, I deserve to be poor for the rest of my life."
Li Que heard this and felt happy, knowing that the opportunity had come.
He coughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he hummed:
"If you really want to rent land, I think you might as well go to Village Chief Huang's house next door, which is my brother-in-law's house."
"Their family has been renting land for more than ten years, and they have never had any problems. They pay the rent on time every year, and they promise not to disturb the farmland. I guarantee that after your land is in your hands, you can still grow crops well."
"If you have ideas, I can introduce them to you."
