Ma Xiaoyao returned to Gaohe Township. He did not come back empty-handed, but came back with hundreds of thousands in cash. As soon as he came back, Ma Xiaoyao called over the villagers who had donated their land and planted turf.
"Everyone, line up and collect your labor fees in order." Ma Xiaoyao greeted loudly.
All the villagers consciously lined up in a long line and received the labor fees in order.
After paying the labor fees to all the villagers, Ma Xiaoyao only had 110,000 yuan left in his hand.
"Okay, everyone has received the money, let's disperse now!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"Chief Ma, you are a good person!"
"Chang Ma, you are much better than Secretary Niu!"
"That is, Niu Zhigang can only tell lies and lie, but Mayor Ma can do practical things for us people!"
…
The villagers praised Ma Xiaoyao word by word.
"Okay, okay, everyone, let's go back, let's go back!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Chief Ma, if anything happens in the future, please give us orders and we will never frown!" The villagers slowly dispersed, and the scene suddenly became deserted.
The people are so simple, and they will dig into your heart if you treat them well.
"It feels good to be praised by the people." Ma Xiaoyao laughed and walked towards the township government.
When Ma Xiaoyao arrived at the township government, he found a group of people standing at the gate, led by the party secretary Niu Zhigang.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao approaching, Niu Zhigang immediately hurried up to greet him: "Chief Ma, you are back..."
"Secretary Niu, who are you standing at the door to greet? Is the superior leader coming?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
Niu Zhigang smiled: "What superior leader? We are here to greet you."
"Welcome me?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Yes, when I got the news that you were back, I immediately led a large number of cadres out to greet you... Township Chief Ma, did your trip go smoothly this time? Has the turf been sold?" Niu Zhigang asked nervously.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It went very smoothly. All the turf was sold and I got the money back." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao raised the bag in his hand.
Niu Zhigang's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand towards the bag: "Show me quickly, show me quickly..."
Ma Xiaoyao moved his bag behind his back and looked at Niu Zhigang: "Secretary Niu, don't be impatient. There are many people here, so we'd better wait until we get in to see them."
"Ah..." Niu Zhigang retracted his hands in embarrassment: "Yes, let's go in and see again, go in and see again..." At that moment, Niu Zhigang accompanied Ma Xiaoyao into the door.
Township government conference room.
All township cadres sat around the large conference table.
Ma Xiaoyao coughed lightly, and then put the bag containing the money on the table.
"Boom!"
The bag hit the table, making a dull sound. Judging from the sound, the bag was quite heavy.
"After many sales pitches, I finally sold all the turf on more than 100 acres of land for a total of 160,000 yuan." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao opened his bag and took out the money inside and put it on the table.
Putting hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table is quite shocking.
"That's a lot of money. This is the first time I've seen so much money." Women's Director Ji Xiaohui exclaimed.
"This money is so new. You can tell it was just taken out of the bank at first glance," Fang Xiong, director of the Publicity Office, said.
Niu Zhigang was also full of excitement, 160,000, a full 160,000, including the loan, he invested a total of 90,000, and now he made a profit of 70,000, a full 70,000, he made a fortune, he really made a fortune
Ah! Suddenly Niu Zhigang raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it right? This number is wrong? Mayor Ma, how much did you just say you sold it for?"
"One hundred and sixty thousand." Ma Xiaoyao repeated.
"But there are only 110,000 on the table." Niu Zhigang said.
After Niu Zhigang reminded them, the others hurriedly counted the money on the table, one, two, three...eleven, a total of eleven bundles of money, one bundle was ten thousand, and the total was 110,000, which was quite less than 160,000.
Fifty thousand.
"Is there still money in the bag that I haven't taken out yet?" Liu Mao, deputy secretary of the party committee, said hesitantly.
"Whoa!"
Niu Zhigang and others looked at the bag on the table. The bag was lying softly on the table. It didn't look like there was money in it.
"Stop looking, there is no money in the bag." Ma Xiaoyao took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
"The bag is out of money? Where did the missing 50,000 yuan go?" Niu Zhigang's face darkened.
Others also looked at Ma Xiaoyao with puzzled faces.
Ma Xiaoyao exhaled a puff of smoke: "I spent the fifty thousand."
"Spent? Why did you spend it?" Niu Zhigang became anxious upon hearing this.
"Secretary Niu, why are you so anxious? I got this money, don't I have the right to spend it?" Ma Xiaoyao said calmly.
"You..." Niu Zhigang's face trembled: "Yes, you got this money, but this money belongs to the village, and you have no right to spend it personally!"
"That's right, Mayor Ma, you have no right to spend this money!" Women's Director Ji Xiaohui snorted.
"Mr. Ma, even if you spend money on something urgent, you should discuss it with us beforehand, right?" Fang Xiong, director of the Publicity Office, sounded very dissatisfied.
Seeing that everyone was blaming Ma Xiaoyao, Liu Dehai, the newly appointed director of the Government Office, was unwilling: "I didn't want to speak at first, but I couldn't help it... When the turf couldn't be sold, why didn't I see you guys speaking out? Now?
Mayor Ma sold the turf and got the money back, but you jumped out one by one, don't you feel blushing?"
"Director Liu, what you said is a bit serious." Women's Director Ji Xiaohui snorted: "We all admit that Mayor Ma is a capable person and has solved a major problem in the township, but the turf was planted in the township, so
The money from the turf sales also goes to the village, and Mayor Ma has no right to control it at all! What's more, this time we suddenly lost 50,000 yuan, we must give an explanation!"
"Have you argued enough?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"Chief Ma, these people are so unreasonable..." Liu Dehai said angrily.
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Director Liu, please stop saying a few words." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at the others: "Everyone made me understand one thing today... You are all a group of people who only care about money but not money.
Human guy..." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao paused, and then looked at the sullen Niu Zhigang: "Secretary Niu, you must really want to know how I spent 50,000 yuan, right? Okay, I'll tell you.
, I distributed the 50,000 yuan to the villagers who donated their land and planted turf."
"Huh?" Niu Zhigang was stunned: "What... did you distribute the money to the villagers?"
Everyone else was also stunned.
"Everyone only sees the money after selling the turf. Who has thought about the villagers who worked hard to plant the turf? Without those villagers, can the turf grow? How can the turf be sold for money if it does not grow? So,
The biggest contributors are the villagers, so as soon as I returned to Gaohe Township, I distributed the money to them... Secretary Niu, didn't you promise before that after the turf is sold, you will distribute it to the villagers?
Labor fee? You won't forget this promise, right?" Ma Xiaoyao's last sentence was to Niu Zhigang.
"Ah!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Niu Zhigang's face: "I... I didn't forget just now... it's just... that... Township Chief Ma, did you pay too much for the labor fees you distributed to those villagers..."
"I don't think it's much." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly: "Those villagers are the biggest contributors and should be given more money."
"But..." Niu Zhigang wanted to say something else.
"Secretary Niu." Ma Xiaoyao said with a heavier tone: "We are the secretary and mayor of Gaohe Township. We have the responsibility and obligation to benefit the people of Gaohe Township. Besides, after removing the 50,000 yuan, there are still 11
Ten thousand, the original investment cost was 40,000 yuan... In this way, we still make 70,000 yuan..."
"Wait a minute!" Niu Zhigang suddenly interrupted Ma Xiaoyao: "Well... Mayor Ma, you made a mistake in your calculation. The cost is not 40,000 yuan..."
"How much is that?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"It's 90,000 yuan..." Niu Zhigang said.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Why is it 90,000 yuan?" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at Chen Shuirou: "Director Chen, how much money has the township finance budget allocated to plant turf?"
"I checked the records and the township finance department provided a total of 40,000 yuan," Director Chen replied.
"Secretary Niu, did you hear that? The township finance department provided 40,000 yuan," Ma Xiaoyao said to Niu Zhigang.
"The township finance provided 40,000 yuan, but I also borrowed 50,000 yuan from the credit union... A total of 90,000 yuan was spent. I have records of this. If Mayor Ma doesn't believe it, you can check it." Niu Zhigang explained.
.
"Oh, there's another thing!" Ma Xiaoyao knew about Niu Zhigang's loan a long time ago, but deliberately pretended not to know. He was clearly trying to trick Niu Zhigang: "I originally thought the cost was only 40,000 yuan... I'll correct it then.
Now, the cost of the turf is 90,000 yuan, and now there are 110,000 yuan here. After removing the cost, we still make 20,000 yuan."
"Obviously I could earn 70,000 yuan, but now I only earn 20,000 yuan..." Women's Director Ji Xiaohui muttered.
"Director Ji, what are you talking about? Louder!" Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Ji Xiaohui.
Ji Xiaohui was startled: "Ah...I didn't say anything...I mean...20,000 yuan is not too small...it is not too small..." Ji Xiaohui did not expect that her voice could be so small that she could be fooled.
Xiaoyao heard it.
Ma Xiaoyao ignored Ji Xiaohui and looked at Niu Zhigang: "Secretary Niu, what is the interest rate you negotiated with the credit union?"
"Oh, I have negotiated with the credit union. After the turf is sold, I will return the principal plus interest to the credit union of 53,000 yuan." Niu Zhigang said hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "The interest rate is so high? The loan is only for more than two months, and the interest rate is 3,000 yuan. It is even worse than a loan shark."
"That's right, the interest rate is too high, no, we can't give so much!" Liu Dehai was the first to jump out and object.
