Seeing that Bai Zhe was about to speak, everyone quickly shut up and quietly waited for Bai Zhe to speak with their faces raised.
"Folks, I have some good news for you!"
"good!"
"Wow!"
Everyone already knew what Bai Zhe was going to say next, and they all applauded excitedly.
But Bai Zhe knew that the more excited the crowd was at this moment, the more detrimental it would be to what he was about to announce. He had to think about his own personal safety if not for anything else.
Therefore, what I am going to say next needs to be extremely cautious, and I must not say a word that will make me hate you for eternity.
"This time we bought Tianhai stocks and made two billion!"
"good!"
More than a thousand people shouted in unison, the momentum was overwhelming.
At this time, Dong Xiaorui prepared a large bundle of ribbons from nowhere. While everyone was shouting, he quickly arranged for two young people to go up and open the ribbons with a few bangs.
Suddenly colorful confetti flew into the sky, and in conjunction with everyone's shouts, the crowd turned into a sea of joy.
Everyone was immersed in joy at this moment, and a sense of happiness filled everyone's face.
Bai Zhe stood on the stage and took a deep look at Gao Huilin, who was standing behind the crowd, and Director Cheng and Fu Wei behind her.
Gao Huilin waved to her excitedly, and Bai Zhe smiled in return. In her heart at this moment, Bai Zhe was the most handsome man in the world, a unique existence.
When the cheers died down, Bai Zhe continued to speak: "In addition, I have a big happy event to announce to everyone."
"That is, with the approval of the municipal party committee, the Lingzhou City Planning Office will take the lead to build a new cross-river bridge between our Lishui Town and Lingzhou City. This bridge will nominally be built by Chen Village with a total cost of 2 billion, and will be named Chen Village Bridge, now Director Cheng of the Lingzhou City Urban and Rural Planning Office will give a speech. Everyone is welcome!"
Many villagers had not recovered yet and started clapping along with Bai Zhe.
As the applause fell sparsely, everyone suddenly looked at each other.
"What do Mayor Bai mean? Aren't the two billion earned going to be shared with everyone?"
"Haven't you heard? This was built with funds raised by all our villagers. We made a total of 2 billion and spent 2 billion. What points do we get?"
…
In the eyes of everyone's doubts, Director Cheng and Fu Wei stood next to Bai Zhe. Bai Zhe held Director Cheng's hand affectionately and said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Cheng. Please just say a few words."
Director Cheng, who was also confused at first, didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly asked Bai Zhe in a low voice: "Mayor Bai, didn't you ask us to just stand there? What did you want me to say?"
Bai Zhe said in Director Cheng's ear: "Just say that you were instructed by the provincial party committee to come here for on-site inspection."
In front of so many people, it was not convenient for Director Cheng to show his timidity, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
He raised his head and said in deep thought: "Well, we were entrusted by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to make a special trip to conduct an on-site inspection. I am very pleased to see that the villagers are so enthusiastic, and I am grateful. Thank you to the villagers for their support."
"Who welcomes you, get down quickly!"
"Yes, you are so happy to spend our money to build a bridge. Get out, you are not welcome here!"
"That's it, go down, go down, go down!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited, stretching out their arms and shouting to drive Director Cheng out.
Director Cheng never expected that he would come so far to act as a shield for others.
He looked at Bai Zhe in disbelief, but Bai Zhe comforted him in his ear: "Don't worry, Director Cheng. The villagers just don't understand the benefits of building a bridge. You just have to explain it to everyone."
Director Cheng had cold sweat on his forehead and took a deep look at Bai Zhe.
[Okay, I will believe you again. 】
"Uh... Folks, don't get excited, listen to me, you have to listen to me!"
Taking advantage of the crowd's voice being quieter, Director Cheng said quickly: "This Chencun Bridge is of great significance and is an important artery for the development of our rural economy. In the future, a steady stream of wealth will flow into your pockets."
"We don't want it in the future. As for the money, we want it now!"
"Yes, give us all the money, we don't want to wait until later!"
A group of people below were discussing in a noisy manner. You and I did not give him a chance to speak at all.
It was the first time Director Cheng encountered these scenes where he was talking a few words, and he immediately seemed a little flustered.
Then he looked at Bai Zhe asking for help: "Mayor Bai, this method of yours won't work either. They still won't listen to me."
Bai Zhe patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, let me do the rest."
Bai Zhe took two steps forward, raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me!"
Then when everyone saw Bai Zhe coming out, they immediately had a backbone and fell silent.
Faced with this appeal, Director Cheng had to secretly admire Bai Zhe in his heart.
With such an aura, he couldn't learn even if he wanted to.
"I understand everyone's feelings very well, but Director Cheng also said just now that this is the decision of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Have you ever thought about it? If the two billion can be directly sent to everyone, I, Bai Zhe, will support it with both hands. ! Do you think what I said is right?"
The people below started talking in a low voice: "Yes, Mayor Bai has worked so hard to help everyone make so much money. He must want everyone to get benefits. I believe Mayor Bai."
"I also feel that the matter is far more complicated than we thought. That's two billion. Such a large amount of money must have been intercepted directly by the superiors. Otherwise, Mayor Bai would not have spent so much effort to give it to everyone. explain."
The mood of the crowd was calmed down instantly just because Bai Zhe said something very understanding.
Bai Zhe continued to speak earnestly: "Folks may think that the two billion you receive is just two million, but I can responsibly tell you that this is not the case!"
Bai Zhe waved his hand and raised everyone's hearts to their throats.
[If two billion is given to a thousand farmers, isn’t it just two million? Could the calculator be wrong? 】
"Two million, think about it, what's the difference between this and winning the lottery? You have to know that you need to pay 20% tax on these two million!"
"boom!"
Bai Zhe's words were like a bombshell, thrown directly into the crowd, causing a commotion.
"Yeah, I was so happy that I forgot about this."
"Isn't it? Twenty percent, that means you have to pay four hundred thousand in taxes alone? Isn't this too much?"
"It's nothing. It's like this. You can't take the money without paying taxes. Do you understand?"
After everyone discussed it, Bai Zhe also achieved the result he wanted, so he continued: "But if this money is used to build a bridge, the meaning will be different. When the bridge is built, it belongs to the country and does not need to pay taxes. Yes, not only will no taxes be paid, the state will also have to use fifteen years of revenue as compensation and put these funds into everyone’s hands in batches!”
"Think about it, the demolition money has been distributed, and everyone has no shortage of money to spend. If you hold this money, it will just be deposited in the bank and earn interest. But if the bridge is built and opened to traffic, it will be much better than earning interest. !”
After Bai Zhe finished speaking, everyone didn't know how much revenue they would get after it opened to traffic, but just by listening to Bai Zhe's tone, they concluded that this was definitely not a small amount.
Immediately, many people began to waver: "Mayor Bai is right. Since you can't get the money, you might as well just use it to build a bridge. Then think about other people waiting in line to pay on the bridge. In the end, all the money will be lost." It’s really nice to have it flow into our pockets.”
"Who says it's not the case? When the time comes, cars in our village will be free of charge. How exciting!"
"One million and six hundred thousand, I think it's definitely worth it to build the bridge!"
"Now that Mayor Bai has said it, this matter will definitely not be a loss to everyone. If he can help us make two billion, he can definitely help us make more. This little money is nothing. I decided to support Mayor Bai. "
"Yes, I also support Mayor Bai."
"Mayor Bai, just do it, we support you!"
"we support you!"
For a moment, the shouts came one after another, and quickly gathered into one heart, everyone shouted in unison.
Seeing the reactions of the villagers, Bai Zhe, Gao Huilin, Dong Xiaorui and others smiled knowingly.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, I will let Mayor Dong arrange for everyone to sign. But let me start my ugly words. Once the paper is signed, no one is allowed to go back on it. When the bridge is opened to traffic, the money will be paid according to the paper. The names are being added to your accounts in a steady stream!"
"Okay, Mayor Bai, please rest assured, we will never go back on our word!"
"Fuck, isn't it just 1.6 million? I'll just treat it as a pick-up and turn it over to the state!"
"Yes, 1.6 million. I will bet it all on Mayor Bai. I will definitely make a profit without losing any money."
"Old Chentou, if you believe in Mayor Bai so much, then I can rest assured."
Old Chen shook his head: "Just sign, believe my eyesight, it will be right!"
"His grandma's, it doesn't matter whether he makes a profit or loses, just sign it!"
…
Dong Xiaorui hurriedly called on the people to lift the table and print the forms, and the entire town government became busy.
Bai Zhe shouted happily: "I announce that tonight I will personally invest 100,000 yuan to hold a large-scale fireworks show in our industrial park to congratulate the official launch of our Chencun Bridge project!"
"good!"
After hearing the news, the crowd cheered and danced, which suddenly brought everyone's emotions to the peak.
100,000, that's a lot of money to spend. It's estimated that the entire firecracker company staff will have to work hard all day.
Bai Zhe knew that people today have a special liking for joining in the fun. If two more operas were invited to perform for three days and three nights, people from all over the country would definitely come to watch.
In fact, only Bai Zhe knows the real purpose of doing this.
Only by spreading the matter to the maximum extent can leaders at all levels pay attention to it. When this matter becomes a hot topic in society, no one who is short-sighted will dare to challenge the pressure of public opinion.
They can only obediently hand over the money with both hands and invest every penny into the project.
Director Cheng, who was standing nearby, had his eyes opened. He believed that this shield was absolutely worth it. As for how the people below scolded him, that was their business, and he couldn't hear it anyway.
As long as we can attract 2 billion project investments, what's the harm in being scolded by them a few more times?
