Crane Village was very poor.
There was no building in the village. It was a row of old red brick houses.
There was a big yard outside the red brick houses. The land here was not valuable, and the yard of the village government was very big.
Li Dong's car attracted many people's attention as soon as it entered the village government.
When Li Dong and the rest alighted from the car, a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the yard asked. "Are you all from the city?"
Li Dong nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the cigarette and looked at it. Then, he put it to his ear and said with a smile, "Nice car. It doesn't look cheap."
Li Dong smiled. "It's not bad."
After chatting with the middle-aged man for a while, the man asked. "You all look like big bosses. What business do you have in the village today?"
Li Dong looked at Hsu Shengzhe and saw him nodding. He smiled. "Big Brother, it's like this …"
After briefly explaining the situation, Li Dong did not say much. He just said that he wanted to set up a vegetable farm and happened to see the barren land next to Zhongzheng Village. He was here to inquire about the situation.
When Li Dong finished, the middle-aged man had a strange look on his face.
After looking at Li Dong and the others for a while, the man's face revealed the craftiness of an old fox. He chuckled and said, "You've also taken a fancy to that piece of land?"
When the word "also" came out, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe's face changed.
The man did not mind. Although they were not very knowledgeable, they had been low-level officials for decades. They had seen all kinds of people.
Not to mention young people like Li Dong and the others, even the big bosses in the officialdom were sometimes fooled by the old foxes of the grass-roots government.
Seeing that they did not say anything, the man continued to smile. "What a coincidence. Yesterday afternoon, someone came to ask about this. It was also Pingchuan. Did you all find a treasure?"
Li Dong said calmly. "Big Brother must be joking. Maybe it was a coincidence. If there really was a treasure, it would not be us. You all have lived here for decades. How can we have a share? "
"Hehe, that's true."
The middle-aged man took a drag on his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. He laughed and said, "Alright, I won't ask you anymore. Whether or not he found a treasure, it had nothing to do with him. As for the land, we will discuss it in the village. Leave your phone number and we will inform you later. "
Hearing his tone, Li Dong quickly smiled and said, "You see, we still don't know what kind of leadership position Big Brother holds in the village."
The man said nonchalantly, "What leader? We're all serving the people. My name is Yu Jian, the deputy village chief of Heming Village. "
Li Dong complimented him and chatted with Yu Jian for a while.
The government of Heming Village did not have many rules. Yu Jian, the deputy village chief, spoke no differently from a farmer.
They did not enter the office, but stood in the courtyard and chatted.
After about half an hour, Li Dong and the others left their phone numbers, saying that they would visit again next time, and then drove away.
…
After leaving the village government, Hsu Shengzhe's face was a little gloomy.
It was quiet in the car for a while. Hsu Shengzhe gritted his teeth and said, "It must be those b * stards we met the day before yesterday. I don't believe there can be such a coincidence!"
Li Dong knocked on the window. After a while, he said, "It's useless to talk about this now. Let's see if we can find those guys and think of a way to get rid of them."
No matter what, once there was a competitor, things would become troublesome.
Originally, Heming Village was so poor. When big bosses like Li Dong and the others came to buy barren land, the village government would definitely be eager to get someone to talk to them.
But now there were two groups of people, and they had their eyes on the same piece of land. Anyone could tell that something was wrong.
From Yu Jian's attitude towards them today, it could be seen that he was not as attentive as they had imagined. This was because he had confidence.
Regardless of whether there was something fishy about that piece of land, they would be able to see something if they dragged it out for three to five days.
…
At noon, the few of them randomly found a small restaurant to have lunch.
The streets of Heming Village were not long, and the area was not big. After lunch, Li Dong asked the owner of the restaurant, "Boss, four foreigners came to the village yesterday. Two men and two women. One of the women even dyed her hair yellow. They must have driven here. Do you know where they live?"
The crew cut and the others must still be in the village. The matter of the land had not been discussed, so they should not have left so quickly.
Sure enough, the owner of the restaurant had an impression. He laughed and said, "I saw them. They ate here last night. I think they went to the Golden Dragon Hotel. You will know when you go and see. If they are not in the Golden Dragon Hotel, they must be in that area. There are only three hotels on the street that can accommodate people. "
Li Dong nodded. After paying the bill, they left the restaurant together.
Hsu Shengzhe wiped his mouth and said, "How do we talk to them when we find them? If we go to them now, it will be obvious that the news is true. I am afraid they will not let it go. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you say you don't know them? How can you not know the big bosses in Pingchuan? How can a few rich second-generation heirs compare to us? Let's talk first. If we can't talk, we will think of another way. We can kill them with money! "
Hsu Shengzhe frowned and said, "I am afraid of wasting time. If they do not give up no matter what, the township government will definitely delay us."
"Then let's not buy this piece of land. There are still two more pieces of land. Do they have the ability to fight with us?"
"Sigh, let's see how it goes."
Hsu Shengzhe sighed. Heming Village had the highest price-performance ratio. Naturally, it was his first choice.
Although the other two pieces of land were likely to become the main city area, the chances were not as good as this one.
Moreover, the other two pieces of land were close to Heming Village. It would be fun if they were all under the jurisdiction of Heming Village.
…
The Golden Dragon Hotel was easy to find.
Li Dong and the others drove less than 300 meters before they saw the signboard of the Golden Dragon Hotel.
It was a two-story building. The outer wall looked quite old. If it was not for the hotel signboard hanging at the door, outsiders might think it was an ordinary residential building.
There was a tyrannical off-road vehicle with a Pingchuan license plate parked in front of the hotel.
Hsu Shengzhe glanced at it and said, "It should be here."
Li Dong nodded and got out of the car with Hsu Shengzhe and walked into the hotel.
Liu Qi wanted to follow, but Li Dong waved his hand and said, "You guys wait here. We will go in and take a look."
Liu Qi saw this and stopped.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe entered the hotel. The hotel did not have much decoration. The first floor was empty. There were a few tables and a TV in front.
A table of people were eating and watching TV.
Seeing Li Dong and Liu Qi enter, a man at the table stood up and said, "Accommodation?"
Li Dong looked around and nodded. "Boss, how many rooms are available?"
"Three rooms. Two double rooms and one single room. How many people are there?"
"All of them." Li Dong did not ask about the price. After that, he asked, "Boss, is the owner of the car outside here?"
The man looked at Li Dong and Liu Qi. Seeing that they were very young and did not look like bad people, he nodded and said, "You guys know each other? They are upstairs. They are probably taking an afternoon nap. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "We are going up to look for them. Is it convenient?"
The man hesitated and asked, "Do you still want your rooms?"
"Yes. Boss, you pack up first. We will come to pay later."
Only then did the man smile and say, "Alright, I'll give you new towels and toothbrushes that haven't been used before. You are looking for someone, right? I will bring you up. Your rooms are all together. I can show you your rooms. "
Li Dong responded, and the two of them followed the man upstairs.
The space upstairs was not too big. It was divided into six or seven small rooms.
The Crew-cut and Liu Qi had booked four rooms, which were all connected. However, the doors of the rooms were closed.
Li Dong asked the boss which room the Crew-cut was in. Then, he gently knocked on the door.
After a while, the Crew-cut opened the door with sleepy eyes.
When he saw Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe standing at the door, the Crew-cut frowned. Then, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence. What are you guys doing?"
Hsu Shengzhe said lazily, "I have something to discuss with you. Is it convenient for you to come in?"
The Crew-cut hesitated for a moment and then said, "Come in."
The two entered the room. The room was not big. It was a little crowded for the three of them to squeeze in.
Li Dong and Liu Qi did not mind. Hsu Shengzhe moved two plastic stools and sat down with Li Dong. The Crew-cut sat on the bed.
No one spoke first. The room was silent.
After a while, the Crew-cut smiled bitterly. "General Manager Li from Far Away?"
Li Dong nodded.
The Crew-cut looked at Hsu Shengzhe. Hsu Shengzhe said lightly, "Hsu Shengzhe!"
The Crew-cut let out a long breath. "Young Master Xu from Longhua. I recognized General Manager Li's car when I saw it yesterday. However, I have not dealt with you guys before, so I was too embarrassed to greet you. However, it seems that we are fated to meet again. "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and said, "Don't you want to introduce yourself?"
Wang Ming said self-deprecatingly, "I am a nobody. Do you know Wang Ming and Liyuan Decoration?"
Li Dong thought for a moment. He did not seem to have heard of it. However, Hsu Shengzhe thought for a moment and said, "Wang Chuanlong, CEO Wang's son?"
"Yes. I didn't expect CEO Xu to know my father."
Wang Ming let out another breath and looked at them. "It seems that the news is true. I didn't expect my luck to be so good."
They were all smart people. When Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe, these two big bosses came here, Wang Ming knew that the news he had analyzed before was true.
He had wanted to take a gamble, but now it seemed that he was in the bag.
The only pity was that the two sides met. Wang Ming had a bellyful of bitterness and didn't know how to express it.
The arrival of Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe proved that his news was true, but it also brought him a giant competitor.
Not to mention the money they had raised from their friends, even if they used up all their assets, they still wouldn't be a match for either one of them.
Thinking of this, Wang Ming took a deep breath and said after a long time, "General Manager Li, CEO Xu, what do you mean?"
Hsu Shengzhe smiled faintly and said, "It's all for the sake of getting rich. Let's not talk about empty words. You play with your own land, and I'll play with ours. You can't afford the land here in Heming. Do you have that much money for five thousand mu of land? "
Wang Ming shook his head.
Hsu Shengzhe said again, "Then it's settled. There's no need for us sandpipers and clams to fight. The new city is so big. Five thousand mu of land is nothing. You can pick any place and it won't be any worse than this."
Although Wang Ming knew that he wasn't as strong as the two of them, he still argued, "But I'm not sure about other places. General Manager Li and CEO Xu are rich and overbearing. You don't lack money, so why fight with us over land? "
Li Dong said, "You can't take five thousand mu of land. There's no point in taking a small piece. You can change places. If there are any losses in the end, we can compensate you appropriately."
Wang Ming was a little embarrassed when he said this.
Li Dong had already said that he could compensate them, so it would be meaningless if he continued to be in a deadlock.
But Wang Ming still felt that this piece of land was the best. After all, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe had their eyes on it, so he didn't dare to rest easy on the other pieces of land.
Moreover, this piece of land was the easiest to take. There were no property rights disputes, and it was just a piece of barren land that could be taken over by paying and signing a contract.
The other pieces of land weren't necessarily the same. Some of them were still occupied by people. By the time he settled the other pieces of land, the new city might have already been built.
More importantly, he didn't have that much capital or time to change places.
Thinking of this, Wang Ming shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe looked at each other. Li Dong asked, "Then tell me what you think?"
Wang Ming was silent for a moment, then looked up at the two of them and said, "Cooperation!"
