Liu Teng sneered and was about to open his mouth to agree, but when he saw Jiang Xiaofan's smiling eyes, he suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.
Liu Teng himself couldn't figure it out. Laowan Village was clearly ranked last in the town, but when he saw Jiang Xiaofan's appearance, he couldn't say anything about gambling.
Just when Liu Teng was in a dilemma, a majestic voice sounded: "This is a waterworks office, not a mahjong room. You two are village chiefs. How can you bet like this!"
Jiang Xiaofan followed the sound and saw a dignified middle-aged man walking in from the outside with his hands behind his back. As his voice sounded, the staff at the water station stood up quickly and said humbly: "Liu
Hello, director, thank you for your hard work."
"Yeah." Liu Lianjia nodded calmly.
Liu Teng quickly approached Liu Lianjia, opened the bag in his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, these are some local specialties from our village. I happened to be in town to do business, so I will bring you some on the way."
Liu Lianjia glanced at the bag and showed a satisfied smile.
Upon seeing this, Liu Teng whispered: "Director Liu, I heard that the leaders from above came to Baihe for inspection. I would like to ask about our village's sand dredging rights..."
"Ahem!" Liu Lianjia coughed twice and looked at Jiang Xiaofan.
Liu Teng reacted immediately, turned to Zhao Fugui and said calmly: "Zhao Fugui, if nothing happens, go back as soon as possible. If you gather a few more handfuls of grass, you may be able to produce more food, and there is hope that you won't be ranked last at the end of the year."
"I have something to do with Director Liu, it's none of your business!"
Zhao Fugui cursed angrily, then walked up to Liu Lianjia and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I am Zhao Fugui, the head of Baihe Village. I came here to see you, but you were not there at the time..."
"What do you want from me? You should report to the mayor." Liu Lianjia interrupted with a frown before Zhao Fugui finished.
Zhao Fugui waved his hand and quickly explained: "Director Liu, I'm not here to report on the work. I want to apply for the contract of the Baimuba Reservoir by the Baihe River."
Liu Teng looked at Jiang Xiaofan and Zhao Fugui, and said with dignity, "This matter is not easy to handle."
Jiang Xiaofan felt nervous: "What's wrong, Director Liu? Is there anyone else who wants to contract?"
"That's not true..." Liu Lianjia said slowly in an official tone.
The Baimuba Reservoir is actually a hot potato, and Liu Lianjia is eager for someone to contract it. Since the reservoir was built, except for the first few years when someone came to contract it, no one has come to ask after the fish in the reservoir disappeared, which directly affected them.
Revenue from the water utility.
However, Jiang Xiaofan came empty-handed, which made Liu Lianjia very uncomfortable.
"Zhao Fugui, are you sure your village wants to contract the Baimuba Reservoir?" Liu Teng looked at Zhao Fugui with strange eyes.
Zhao Fugui snorted coldly: "Are you sure? What's wrong?"
"According to what I know, your village is ranked last in the town, and many people have not even been lifted out of poverty. How can you have the money to contract the reservoir?" Liu Teng asked with a frown.
"It's none of your business!" Zhao Fugui said with a sullen face.
Liu Teng choked for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said: "You just made a bet with me to compare the per capita income at the end of the year. You don't want to contract fish farming in the reservoir to increase your income, right?"
Jiang Xiaofan said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this, Village Chief Liu, but can you make the decision on contracting the reservoir?"
Liu Teng's eyes rolled, and he came to Liu Lianjia and said a few words. Liu Lianjia cleared his throat and said: "It's not impossible to contract if you want. The annual contract fee is 50,000 yuan, and the contract should be contracted for at least five years."
Zhao Fugui became anxious when he heard this: "Director Liu, in the past, when other people contracted the reservoir, couldn't it be done for one or two years? And the contracting fee was only 40,000 yuan."
"That was 40,000 yuan in the past. The Baimuba Reservoir is about 100 acres. Maintenance requires a lot of energy. Aren't these costs?" Liu Lianjia scolded with a serious face.
"This..." Zhao Fugui suddenly lost his temper.
Jiang Xiaofan said calmly: "Director Liu, as far as I know, although the Baimuba Reservoir is named Baimuba Reservoir, its actual area is only about fifty acres."
Liu Lianjia frowned and looked sideways at Jiang Xiaofan. He found that this young man with an unattractive appearance was not as easy to fool as he thought.
He said calmly: "Now that the prices of everything are rising, it is understandable that the reservoir contracting fees are rising. We must ensure the water quality of the reservoir, so that you can feel at ease when raising fish."
Jiang Xiaofan suppressed his anger and said: "Okay, fifty thousand yuan a year, I will contract for five years. Let's go through the formalities now."
"This requires cash, a one-time payment for five years." Liu Teng jumped out and said loudly.
Zhao Fugui suddenly became angry: "In the past, other villages could pay the contract in two installments, so why do we have to pay it all in one go?"
"Village Chief Zhao, don't pretend to be confused because you understand. Others have the capital to resist risks. Your Laowan Village has been ranked last in terms of economy for many years. What can you use as a guarantee?" Liu Lianjia stared at Zhao Fugui and said calmly, with a twinkle in his eye.
A hint of disdain.
"No problem, a one-time payment in cash, I can accept it."
Jiang Xiaofan sneered in his heart, you are asking such a harsh price now, when you know the truth about the fish in the reservoir, you will cry with hatred.
"Oh?" Liu Lianjia turned to look at Jiang Xiaofan with a serious look in his eyes: "Are you the Jiang Xiaofan who contracted Longtoushan?"
"Yes, it's me." Jiang Xiaofan nodded.
"Young man has courage." Liu Lianjia nodded.
"We in Baihe Village also contracted the contract. The price is 55,000 yuan a year, and the payment will be paid in one lump sum for five years." Suddenly, Liu Teng next to him said.
"Village Chief Liu, what do you mean?" Jiang Xiaofan asked, narrowing his eyes.
"It's not interesting. We in Baihe Village have too much money and no place to spend it. We want to invest." Liu Teng said confidently.
He sneered in his heart. He knew Zhao Fugui's character very well. If it was not profitable, he would not accept such harsh conditions.
So he was ready to add another fire.
At this time, a staff member suddenly ran in and gasped: "Liu, Director Liu, come out quickly..."
Liu Lianjia looked displeased and said, "What's the matter?"
"Mei, Director Mei is here." The staff member said anxiously.
"Director Mei is here? Where is he?" Liu Lianjia was surprised.
"Just outside."
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Liu Lianjia jumped out.
But soon Liu Lianjia ran back and said to Jiang Xiaofan and Liu Teng: "I'm going to go out first. Regarding the contracting of Baimuba Reservoir, you two villages will discuss the price and wait until I get back to confirm it."
After speaking, Liu Lianjia hurried out.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at Liu Teng who looked proud, and the anger in his heart could no longer be contained.
