Chapter 2047

"You bastard, you're still dreaming from last night?" Another voice sounded: "Don't talk about one billion US dollars; even if you gave me one hundred thousand US dollars, no, even one hundred thousand big unions, I could dream and wake up laughing."

"That's right." Another person laughed and scolded: "Erlaogun, you are really too greedy."

Erlaogun also laughed along: "I saw on the news that Zhou Andong spent 4.3 billion US dollars to acquire Sony shares. Plus the one billion he donated, that's over 5 billion. I guess he has become the world's richest man."

"The world's richest man is not quite there yet. I saw in the newspaper that 5 billion US dollars can rank in the top twenty of the world's richest list. But many people believe that this 5 billion is definitely not all of Zhou Andong's wealth."

"Indeed, what I saw in the newspaper is about the same. This money is just the tip of the iceberg of Zhou Andong's wealth. Some people predict that if all of Zhou Andong's wealth is added up, even if he is not the world's richest man, he definitely ranks in the top three."

Erlaogun sucked his teeth: "What's the use of Zhou Andong earning so much money? He can't spend it all."

"That's what you say, but who in this world thinks they have too little money?"

"You can't say it like that either. Zhou Andong has always been doing charity, and he donated a lot of money before. Hope primary schools are being built all over the country. This is a truly great philanthropist."

Zhou Andong listened to the discussion behind him and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion. The commotion caused this time was indeed a bit big.

Immediately afterward, a smile appeared on his face, and he took a sip of beer. After acquiring Sony Records and Sony Pictures, the commotion caused would be even bigger.

The four drank beer and ate barbecue, listening to the idle chatter of the people around them. Moreover, most of what people talked about was Zhou Andong, donations, Sony, and the music festival.

As night fell, the sky gradually became dim, and the street lamps on the roadside lit up one after another, illuminating the entire city.

However, some stall owners seemed to feel that the brightness of the street lamps was not enough, so they lit gasoline lamps one after another, making the whole street instantly as bright as day.

The group of people behind Zhou Andong checked out and left, replaced by a group of young men and women. From their accents, it was obvious they were from Jinmen.

They came, naturally, for barbecue and beer, and the topic of conversation was also the music festival.

Zhou Andong looked at his watch and found that it was past six o'clock, and they had eaten enough, so he waved for the boss to come over and check out.

At the same time, Jian Zhengxue and Gu Minglan had also just finished dinner and were taking a walk in the park near the guesthouse.

"Old Jian, Qiuqiu will give birth in another month. My transfer is waiting. After she gives birth, I will take care of her for a few days."

"You decide this yourself." Jian Zhengxue looked up at the distance: "I have been thinking, what method does Dongzi have to let me stand firm over there quickly."

Gu Minglan said with a smile: "Since Dongzi said so, he naturally has a way. Won't you know when he comes back?"

Jian Zhengxue shook his head helplessly: "You have confidence in him."

"That's right." The smile on Gu Minglan's face grew thicker: "I am very clear about how capable my son-in-law is. And he never speaks big words. Since he said it, he can definitely do it."

Jian Zhengxue looked at his wife speechlessly: "I don't know who it was that was desperately trying to stop him and Qiuqiu from being together at the beginning."

"That was then and this is now. I didn't know enough at that time, and didn't I agree in the end?"

Gu Minglan laughed, and she was very proud: "In our old Jian family, including our old Gu family, one by one, who has a son-in-law as capable as my Gu Minglan's?"

In the past, Gu Minglan was honored by her husband, but now it is a bit different. It is a bit like being honored by her son-in-law, after all, a son-in-law is half a son.

At work, everyone knows that her son-in-law is Zhou Andong. In the past, when chatting with colleagues, they would intentionally or unintentionally talk about Secretary Gu.

But ever since the news spread that Zhou Andong was her son-in-law, when colleagues chatted with her, they would often talk about Zhou Andong, and many people looked for her to use connections, all for the sake of entering the Yugong Group.

However, she never agreed. That is her own family's business; how could she stuff just anyone in there? Even if they are colleagues and the relationship is good, it won't work. This is a matter of principle.

Moreover, the Yugong Group and its subordinate enterprises recruit people every year. If you have the ability, just go and apply yourself; why look for me?

At the same time, as soon as Zhou Andong got out of the car, he saw the old village chief and the branch secretary squatting on the steps at the entrance of the guesthouse smoking.

"Uncle Jiu, Uncle Quan, why are you here?"

Li Jiutang and Zhao Quan saw Zhou Andong return and hurriedly stood up.

"Looking for you!"

Li Jiutang threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

"Let's go in and talk."

Zhou Andong felt a burst of suspicion in his heart. These two running here to find him must be for something big.

But what could happen in the village that they couldn't find him for?

After entering the lobby, Zhou Andong went to the rest area, and the waiter at the bar poured them tea with great insight.

"Chairman Zhou, if you have anything, just call me."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong responded with a smile: "Sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome!"

The waiter returned to the bar, but his eyes focused on Zhou Andong from time to time.

Having just eaten barbecue and drunk a lot of alcohol, Zhou Andong was indeed a bit thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Uncle Jiu, Uncle Quan, what's the matter with looking for me?"

Li Jiutang looked at Zhao Quan: "You say it."

Zhao Quan nodded: "In 1978, the contracting of cultivated land to households began, and the contract period was fifteen years. Our Tanghezi implemented it in 1979, and it expires this year.

Last year, the state issued a policy, clearly pointing out: 'Maintain the stability and long-term unchanged nature of land contracting relations, and extend the second round of land contracting for another thirty years after it expires'."

Originally, this was not a big deal. Those who passed away, those whose household registration moved out, the cultivated land is taken back. Those who added people, land is distributed to them. There is nothing to say about this.

But now the villagers' land has all been invested in the farm, and there is no way to redistribute it. Except for those whose whole family's household registration moved away, the land cannot be taken back."

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it for Li Jiutang and Zhao Quan: "After our village distributed land in 1979, how many new births were there?"

"103 people!" Li Jiutang didn't hesitate at all and gave the number immediately.

Zhou Andong was very surprised: "Fifteen years, our village only had 103 new births?"

"How many do you want?" Zhao Quan said with a smile: "This is not a small number."

Zhou Andong thought it was true. In a village of two hundred households, an average of 7 births per year is not small.

At that time, when the fourth child was born, he was fined, and then a few days later, Comrade Old Zhou had an accident.

Zhou Andong knocked on his head. This is indeed a bit troublesome.

"Like this, you go back and hold a meeting. For those whose family members passed away, the land will not be taken back. For those with new births, it will no longer be distributed. Just follow the old contract, and the farm shares will remain unchanged.

You must make it clear to the villagers that even if the newly added population is distributed land, it is impossible to invest in the farm. In this way, the villagers will agree.

Of course, if there are those who disagree and must have the land, it doesn't matter. The farm will terminate the contract, return the land to them, and distribute land to the newly added population in accordance with state regulations."
