Chapter 1661 It’s done, teach Tong Xiaoqi a lesson
The fishing village chief's unquestionable and non-negotiable tone naturally did not scare Zhou Chen. He knew very well that the village chief was just a tough-tempered guy who wanted to take advantage of Xu Banxia and the others' eagerness to beat them up.
money.
To him, this is equivalent to an open-book exam.
"Village Chief, we came to this negotiation with sincerity. We will definitely not be able to accept the one-time settlement of 700,000 yuan a year."
"If you can't accept it, then don't talk about it. Anyway, there are several companies waiting to talk to me later, haha."
The village chief smiled proudly, without showing the slightest hint of anxiety. In Tong Xiaoqi's words, this old guy is indeed an old loach, and he is quite good at acting.
But Zhou Chen smiled disapprovingly: "Several companies? It's the provincial pharmaceutical company you mentioned, village chief, and the city's printing factory and so on. Haha, village chief, let's open the window and speak frankly. They don't exist at all.
What you are saying is just to tell us how popular your land is and to take advantage of it to raise the price, right?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately became anxious.
"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Several companies in the city have indeed inquired about the price of our land. The provincial pharmaceutical company has also taken a fancy to this land. We are all honest people. We have
Is it necessary to lie to you? If you don’t believe me, ask yourself, it’s really funny.”
"By coincidence, I happen to know Mr. He Qinyan from the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company. He has some cooperation with our company and has a relationship with my elder brother. I will call him now to ask if this is really the case. If they
If the company really has this plan, we won’t argue with them.”
While talking, Zhou Chen took out his cell phone and started dialing in front of the village chief.
Seeing Zhou Chen's actions, the village chief's expression suddenly changed.
"Do you know anyone from the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company? Who are you?"
"Yes, I forgot to introduce myself to the village chief. My name is Zhou Chen, and I am the vice president of Luzhou Hengyu Group. The village chief may not know Hengyu Group. It is our family's company. Is it big or not?
It’s not too small to say that the group has a market value of over 100 million, and the current person in charge of the group is my eldest brother.”
Hearing Zhou Chen say that their company's market value exceeds 100 million, he, a fishing village leader, no matter how uneducated he is, knows that this must be a very big company.
If what Zhou Chen said is true, then Zhou Chen knows people from the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company, so it may be true.
But he suddenly laughed: "Young man, I think you are bluffing me. If you are so powerful, will you come here to negotiate with us about renting land?"
"Village Chief, what you said is wrong. When it comes to business discussions, people from the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company can come to discuss business, so of course I can come. As for whether I am bluffing you, it can be easily found out, Hengyu
The CEO of the group is named Zhou Huan, and my name is Zhou Chen. We are brothers. This is my business card, you can take a look."
Zhou Chen handed his business card to the village chief. The village chief took off his gloves, wiped his hands, took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it to the person next to him and whispered a few words to a young man next to him,
Then his expression changed a little.
"Village chief, do you still need me to call Mr. He from the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company for consultation?"
The village chief laughed a few times and said, "Don't go to such trouble. He is a big boss and is very busy. Let's not disturb him. Mr. Zhou, let's just talk."
He didn't dare to bet. If Zhou Chen really knew the boss of the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company and called him, his lying would be exposed and he would be embarrassed.
His ultimate goal is to rent out the land in order to raise the price. The real situation is that except Xu Banxia and the others, no one else wants to rent that land. If he really drives them away, the land will not be rented out by then, and he will already know the situation.
The villagers should not blame him to death. Then it will be difficult for him to become the village chief.
The authority of the village chief is very great, but when it comes to interests, he can't handle it when everyone wins.
The fishing village is not big. There are only a few dozen families in total. The rent of hundreds of thousands can be divided into several thousand yuan for each family. It is precisely because they are greedy for money that they want more money, so they raise the money.
High rent.
"Okay, village chief, let's continue talking, but we will definitely not agree to the price of 700,000 a year."
"Easy to discuss, easy to discuss."
The village chief's attitude improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't blame me. This is the result of everyone in the village discussing it. Everyone is mainly worried. After all, the previous Mr. Xu was a self-employed person, and he was still a self-employed person."
She is a little lady, and everyone is afraid that she will not be reliable in her work. We can't stand it if she refuses to pay and acts recklessly."
"However, Mr. Zhou, please forgive me for asking, what is your relationship with Mr. Xu?"
Zhou Chen said with a serious face: "Since you asked, village chief, I won't hide it from you. In fact, President Xu is my woman. She just has a bad temper and doesn't want people to think that she is.
Rely on me, that’s why you have to go out alone and go public on your own
Secretary; in fact, she was just angry with me and wanted to prove to me that she could succeed even if she didn't rely on me, but she didn't want to think about how doing business would be so simple. If I hadn't been behind the scenes in the past few years,
If you help her quietly, how can she achieve what she has now?"
"But let's talk about this in private and don't spread it out. She loves face very much. If she finds out, she might get angry with me when we go back."
After hearing Zhou Chen's explanation and the last sigh that all men understand, the village chief suddenly understood.
"So that's what happened. I understand. I understand everything. Mr. Zhou, it's not easy for you either. Your Mr. Xu is indeed very temperamental and very powerful."
"Okay, village chief, let's not talk about her. Let's talk about renting the land."
Zhou Chen timely changed the topic back to the rented land and said: "Village Chief, I know what concerns you have. It's just that you think Mr. Xu is a small company and she is a woman. You don't think it's reliable. I'm worried that she wants to do something."
As soon as it is rented out, it can be rented out for less than two years."
"But you can rest assured that Mr. Xu is behind me, and behind me is the entire Hengyu Group. We can't run away, so you don't need to worry. If we want to rent, we will rent it for a long time and we won't owe money."
, and we won’t rent it for two years and then run away, this can be written in the contract.”
The village chief gritted his teeth in embarrassment and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll give you some face, let's forget about 700,000, as we discussed before, 500,000 a year, with a minimum rent of ten years and a one-time settlement.
"
Zhou Chen held out two fingers: "Two hundred thousand a year, rent starts from ten years, the rent remains unchanged for the first five years, and increases by 10% every year for the next five years, that is, the rent increases by 20,000 per year, and it expires after ten years
, we have the priority to renew the contract.”
"Two hundred thousand? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Such a big piece of land, only two hundred thousand? Mr. Zhou, you are so good at joking. All the companies in the city offer more than this price." The village chief almost jumped with excitement.
He stood up and kept shaking his head.
Zhou Chen said patiently: "Village Chief, let's not talk about whether there are any companies in the city that you mentioned that want to rent land. Even if there are, they can't pay such a high rent. More importantly, if they rent
If we take that piece of land and put it into production, it will definitely pollute the land and surrounding waters."
"Our fishing village relies on the sea to survive, right? If the surrounding waters are polluted, how can you still live on the sea? You can't just ruin the livelihood of the fishing village for decades just for some rent, right?"
"But it's different if you rent it to us. We are using it as a storage yard. Not only will it not pollute the land, it will continue to develop in the future and we will also build a dock. The fishing village will also benefit by then, and we will serve as a storage yard."
"Building docks also requires workers. We can give priority to villagers in the village, which is equivalent to helping the village solve the employment problem."
"Being able to get rent that lasts for more than ten years will not pollute the land and water and affect your livelihood, and it can also provide jobs for the villagers. Isn't this a great thing that kills three birds with one stone?"
The surrounding villagers stopped talking, and their expressions changed. They didn't have much education, but they all felt that what Zhou Chen said was very reasonable, and everyone had been angry beforehand. Is there anyone else who would rent the land?
They all know it.
The village chief's expression kept changing. He felt that Zhou Chen's eyes were very sharp, and he felt like he was being seen through. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand is too little."
"It's quite a lot, it's really quite a lot. Other companies may not be able to offer this price. What's more, as I just said, the price in the first five years will increase by 20,000 every year in the next five years. In ten years it will be
Three hundred thousand a year."
"Besides, if we develop well in the future, we will rent the land around that land at a high price. We also promised to help pave the road for the village. We can also build a primary school for the village in the future, so that the children will not have to travel so far in the future.
Go to school."
Seeing that the village chief was still hesitating, Zhou Chen slowly suppressed the smile on his face.
"Village Chief, to tell you the truth, we are already looking for other places. If we can't reach an agreement here, we will have no choice but to rent land elsewhere."
"It's impossible. There is no land around that is bigger or better than the land in our village."
"That's not necessarily true. There is no such thing in this area. We can go to other areas. With the reform and opening up, as long as you have money, you will not have to worry about renting land. At most, you will have to move a little further away. The impact on us will not be big, but
The impact on your village will be great, and the benefits I just mentioned will be gone. Our Hengyu Group still has many friends in Jiangdong Province. When the time comes, we will rent this land.
It’s even harder to go out.”
The village chief's face changed drastically: "Are you threatening me?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's not a threat, it's just telling the truth."
Looking at the smile on Zhou Chen's face, the village chief felt a little cold in his heart. No one except Xu Banxia and the others could pay such a high rent. If he offended Zhou Chen again, it would probably be even harder to rent in the future.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Our village committee will discuss this matter again. Let's go back first, and we will give you an answer after we discuss it."
"Okay, then let's come back tomorrow. If the negotiation is settled, we can sign the contract on the spot."
"Don't go to such trouble. If we finish discussing it, we will call you to inform you."
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded, then motioned for Chen Yuyu to come over and whispered a few words in his ear. Chen Yuyu looked surprised, but still followed Zhou Chen's instructions.
When Zhou Chen came here before, he brought a leather bag. He thought it was something, but it turned out that it was full of wrapped red envelopes.
Following Zhou Chen's instructions, he took the red envelope and, together with Tong Xiaoqi, went to every household in the fishing village to issue red envelopes. When the villagers received the red envelope, they opened it and saw that there was two hundred yuan in it, and regardless of gender, as long as they were in the fishing village
All the people were given red envelopes, even the newborn children.
Everyone who received the red envelope was very happy, especially the children, who were all excited and cheering.
By the time Chen Yuyu finished handing out the red envelopes, it was already an hour later. The village chief and village cadres had also received the red envelopes and could not refuse them. They all took the red envelopes and remained silent.
Back to the car, Chen Yuyu couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Chen, can this happen? We haven't reached an agreement yet, so you ask us to give out red envelopes. There must be a hundred red envelopes, worth 20,000 yuan, right? What if we don't sign?"
Come down, isn’t this money wasted?”
"It's only 20,000. If we can win over the hearts and minds of the villagers, things will be stable this time. Believe me, they will call to sign the contract before tomorrow."
Zhou Chen had already seen that the village chief was already willing to agree, but he just wanted to save face, so he used 20,000 yuan to win people's hearts. He believed that most of the villagers who saw the benefits would favor them.
Tong Xiaoqi said: "I haven't seen anything yet, so I just gave away so much money first. If it doesn't work, it would be funny."
Zhou Chen looked at Tong Xiaoqi and said with a very calm expression: "Tong Xiaoqi, you seem to have a lot of opinions on me. You have criticized me several times. If you are a man, don't always be arrogant. Let's be happy and help each other directly.
If you lose, just give in, do you dare?"
"Who doesn't dare? Come on." Tong Xiaoqi was not afraid. Even Chen Yuyu couldn't hold him back.
"Xiao Chen, don't stop him. Let me fight with him. It will save him from acting like the boss and his second child. You can tell at a glance that he has not learned enough lessons."
"Let me see who teaches whom."
Tong Xiaoqi went straight towards Zhou Chen, but the next moment, Zhou Chen used a big butt to teach him how to be a good man. He hit him on the head and slapped him to the ground. Everyone was stunned.
Tong Xiaoqi struggled to stand up and started to attack again unconvinced, but Zhou Chen grabbed his wrist and grabbed him, pressing against his spine, making him unable to move and gasping in pain.
"Are you convinced?"
Zhou Chen gave him a slap on the head and asked.
"Not convinced."
"Crack!"
"Are you convinced?"
"Not convinced."
"…………"
Tong Xiaoqi was beaten badly, but he never gave in or gave up. He was stubborn. In the end, Chen Yuyu became a good man and asked Zhou Chen to let Tong Xiaoqi go.
Tong Xiaoqi screamed in dissatisfaction, but after being let go by Zhou Chen, he did not dare to make a move again. He just covered his head. It was really hurt by Zhou Chen's beating.
On the way back, Chen Yuzhou was driving, while Tong Xiaoqi was lying in the passenger seat to 'recuperate'.
He couldn't figure out why Zhou Chen was so powerful, and he didn't even have room to fight back. In comparison, he found that he seemed to be inferior to Zhou Chen in every aspect, which made him feel even more unhappy.
Back at the company, Xu Banxia hadn't come back yet, and Zhou Chen didn't stay long either, so he drove back to the hotel.
Early the next morning, while Zhou Chen was having breakfast, he suddenly received a call from Xu Banxia. On the phone, her tone was very excited.
"It's done, it's done, Zhou Chen, you are so awesome. The head of the fishing village just called us and asked us to go over and sign the contract this afternoon. He agreed to rent the land to us, the one you mentioned yesterday.
Price, Zhou Chen, you really helped me a lot, thank you, thank you so much..."
You could tell how happy she was from the phone call. Zhou Chen didn't interrupt her and waited until she had vented her emotions before speaking.
"I'll go find you later."
"Okay, come quickly, I'll wait for you and treat you to dinner."
