Chapter 911: Qiaoqiao Bargains

The situation at Stone Slope is a bit more complex than at Yunqiao Village.

Their village secretary is indeed appointed, but while Yunqiao Village has Secretary Xiao Zhu handling everything, Stone Slope also has a village director elected by the local villagers.

To get anything done, a few people have to haggle; in short, the efficiency is quite a bit lower. But all in all, everyone hasn't been pulling any tricks regarding the mountain lease, which is quite disciplined by comparison.

Therefore, even though Secretary Xiao Zhu was blunt, she only wanted to make them feel she was difficult to deal with so they would be more cautious in their actions. Now that the whole group is just nodding repeatedly, she has no way to continue.

She has no choice but to take out the contract: "Take another look. If it's fine, we'll sign."

Whether they understand it or not, everyone swarmed over in a flock, then got dizzy from the dense small print and the confusing Party A and Party B, focusing their target only on the amount—

80 per mu!

Good heavens! That's Stone Slope! Even Stone Slope can get 80 per mu?!

The villagers were extremely envious. Although everyone can benefit from this money, isn't it true that nearly 200 mu of it is private land?

Everyone turned their gaze toward the village director.

"That's wrong!" Secretary Da Zhu clapped her hands: "Song Tan is truly foolish! Still treating them like that!"

"Boss, 9.9 is too expensive. Can you sell it for 8.8?"

Qiaoqiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he pushed the topic back: "That is a very simple question. You can let Teacher Xin explain it to you properly when you go back."

Secretary Da Zhu had done all the good deeds. Seeing her about to speak again, Qiaoqiao hurriedly said:

He replied coldly: 【Sorry dear, our family business is large, we decline bargaining!】

The village director hurriedly smiled: "What are you saying? I am also considering the whole village... 80 is 80 then!"

The village director tightened his face: "What is the meaning of this? No matter what you are doing down there, can we go in and steal? The guys are all neighbors. Isn't fencing it off like this a slap in my face?"

Secretary Da Zhu looked down on this old man.

Without waiting for Qiaoqiao to answer, he asked again: "But if the money given is too little, why would they sell? And everyone looks so happy watching you sign."

But who knew this old man would interfere, insisting that the secretary was an outsider and that selling the ancestors' land wouldn't hurt, inciting the villagers who had originally agreed to remain silent, and finally haggling down to the price of 80.

"That's not hard to answer." Secretary Da Zhu sat in the truck bed, disliking Qiaoqiao's perfunctory attitude: "Song Tan, let me tell you, they were dawdling at the beginning because they wanted to sell it for more... Have you seen people bargaining? The buyer wants it cheaper, the seller wants it more expensive."

Seller:???!

"You two little girls, you really have sharp tongues... I didn't say you couldn't fence it. The land is yours now, do whatever you want with it."

Song Tan blinked blankly: This process seems wrong, but it also seems to have matched up...

Village Director:... Why should I pay compensation?

"Hmm." Huo Gui said very seriously: "Our family has hired a legal team from outside. If you are worried, you can go to the village and ask around. They are still at home now..."

The watching village secretary:... Hold it, can't laugh.

"It's fine! If not, don't fence it. I see the director has high prestige in the village, everyone obeys him. Why not let him sign a contract for us..."

"Oh..." Huo Gui was thoughtful.

Besides, isn't it too much to bargain over buying this kind of thing?

Qiaoqiao looked at the onlookers, his expression sincere: "If a villager accidentally enters and causes some damage, let the director pay for it! He has such prestige and considers the whole village, so the villagers shouldn't let him suffer a loss, right?"

He was full of interest: "Is that how it is?"

Villagers:...

Young people nowadays really don't understand human feelings at all! However, the old Song family in Yunqiao Village sounds okay, why do they talk like that? Yie, I guess the village secretary is still the formidable one...

So he asked again: "If you're not selling, then I'm leaving."

A price difference of 12 yuan per mu doesn't count for much, but it depends on what kind of land it is. For proper fertile fields, Qiaoqiao could offer 300 per mu, but if this Stone Slope could be used properly, why would it have been left untouched for so many years?

Is it worth it?

What could the villagers do? He isn't unaware of that in his heart.

Secretary Da Zhu was quite troubled, barely saying: "That works too."

That night, he opened the Peppa Pig sticker he had his eye on.

Therefore, hearing the other party's sigh, she didn't even lift her head: "Anyway, the contract hasn't been signed yet. If you are really unwilling, at worst, we won't sign."

Seeming to have spoken too coldly, she quickly added:

When she said this, Song Tan understood instantly, and now she hurriedly performed it in real-time: "It's like this—【100 really can't be sold, I'm losing money! Then I don't want it... Sigh, forget it, forget it, I'll give you one for 100】"

What's going on?! Could it be that it's not like on TV or when buying clothes at the town market, calling him back and then giving him one for 8.8!

On the way back, Song Tan asked curiously: "Sister, is it that we didn't give enough money?"

He clicked on his own Taotao Treasure shop again, high-definition waterproof tattoo sticker Peppa Pig 9.9/sheet including shipping, is it expensive?

No, we're just leasing a Stone Slope that nobody wants, how did the matter of three generations of direct descendants taking civil service exams come up? Many people in this village have grandchildren who are only in elementary school!

The village director picked up his teacup, wanting to say something, but remembering the snub the secretary just took, his words became much more cautious:

"Our two villages are neighbors, don't worry. When the time comes, I won't ask for high compensation, at most I'll just file a few more lawsuits... But that won't have any impact. None of our three generations of direct descendants are taking civil service exams or joining the army, right? It won't affect anything."

"80 per mu... that's really a cabbage price!"

Song Tan:...

As soon as this was said, the surroundings suddenly became restless.

Everyone was disgruntled: "Why talk so much? This Stone Slope isn't ours anyway. If there's anything, just assume we're moving it. You can fence it with big iron sheets... Sign, sign it quickly. After signing, let's have a meal together..."

Other party: 【Okay dear.】

At first, the contract was negotiated with the village secretary, who asked for 66, and she agreed. The two sides even chatted politely about future development... Not to mention anything else, scattering grass seeds over 600 mu of land isn't something one person can easily finish. Now that the land is given to others, the village can always benefit a little later, right?

It's not expensive!

"Hmm," Secretary Da Zhu seemed not to care, just adding another sentence: "Right, after the contract is signed, we will arrange for people to fence off that piece of land later. It's a private place, so it won't be convenient for villagers to go there anymore—but it's all stones, you wouldn't have used it for anything in previous years anyway, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?" ===== CHAPTER 912 =====
