Chapter 318: Huge Benefits

Translator: Lonelytree

Gong Tianhao said confidently.

‘When he heard this, the village chief wanted to ask, “Young Master Gong, what is your identity? Why is it difficult to investigate your identity?”

Gong Tianhao changed the subject. “The boss never wanted to develop Taoyuan Village into a tourism destination. What he wants is the land to grow strawberries.

“They want to take over the strawberry farm and sell the fruits for sky-high prices. The strawberries now sell for 300 RMB per catty. But for the rich, that is very cheap. No matter how good the taste, they would feel cheapened eating the strawberries.”

The village chief’s eyes widened. “300 per catty is still cheap?” He really didn’t understand the world of the rich. For the villagers, 300 was enough for a family’s weekly expenses. But for the rich, it was nothing. He had a new understanding of the rich.

Gong Tianhao said, “Do you know that there is a kind of fruit called noble fruit. At stores selling these noble friends, strawberries and cherries are sold by the piece and not by catty. The most expensive strawberry from County A goes for 300 RMB each!”

“What?” Both the village chief and Father Xiao were shocked.

“300 for one strawberry? That’s too expensive!” Father Xiao couldn’t believe it.

“A small cherry is about 40 RMB each!” Gong Tianhao continued.

“What?” Father Xiao and the village chief were shocked. A cherry was only about the size of an adult’s finger. They couldn’t imagine how much a catty of it would cost.

However, the village chief and Father Xiao immediately understood Gong Tianhao’s intention.

Father Xiao said, “So, the big boss actually wants to take over our land and grow noble fruits?”

The strawberries on their six mu of land were sold for a few million RMB at a price of 100 to 200 RMB per catty. They had sold 40,000 catties.

If what Gong Tianhao said was true and the strawberries were sold as noble fruit, with 40,000 catties and 3,000 to 6,000 RMB per catty, their total income would increase by several times.

Then…

The profit would be tens of millions to billions!

The village chief knew arithmetic. Once he heard Gong Tianhao, his brain caught up.

“So, the boss is really interested in the large profit hidden in the farming land!” The village chief exclaimed. The strawberries could sell for several billion. If they expanded the fields, the profit would be bigger.

No wonder the big boss wanted them to move. Money was the deciding factor.

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible for them to give up this piece of land so easily.

“Today, they might be scared off by my cars, but they will return tomorrow. They will pull in partners to ‘develop’ Taoyuan Village together. Of course, the partners will only get more powerful!”

When the village chief and Father Xiao heard this, they immediately became nervous.

“What should we do? Is Taoyuan Village lost to us? Are they going to steal the village from us?” The village chief asked nervously.

Gong Tianhao shook his head and asked, “Village chief, what if they manage to get the villagers to gift the land to them voluntarily?”

Village chief and Father Xiao looked at each other in confusion.

“Tianhao, what do you mean?” Father Xiao asked immediately.

Village chief also looked at Gong Tianhao in confusion.

At this moment, Xiao Lingyu had already eaten half an apple. She frowned slightly and asked, “Since brute force failed, are they going to use persuasion next?”

The big boss knew that there was a big shot in Taoyuan Village. Even if they managed to pull in a very powerful partner without knowing the identity of this big shot, they would try their best not to offend him. These company owners were not stupid. They knew how to read the situation.

The big shot in Taoyuan Village sent his bodyguards to stop the demolition team. This meant that he had the intention of protecting the villagers.

However, there was no news of anyone developing Taoyuan Village, so this big shot was not interested in the land.

Since they were unable to touch the big boss, they would work on the villagers. In other words, they had to make the villagers surrender their land willingly. To do that, the company had to provide sufficient compensation. The villagers’ hearts might be shaken.

Here was the problem.

If the soil were really that great, then the villagers wouldn’t be moved because it was better for them to farm the land themselves. Why would they surrender the land to the developer?

However, the real reason was the Little Cattle King. The Little Cattle King didn’t belong to the whole village but Xiao Lingyu’s family.

Only with the Xiao Family’s permission that the village could get the manure from the Little Cattle King. If the Xiao Family was unwilling, there was nothing the villagers could do. They couldn’t grow good crops to sell. So for the manure, the villagers had been deliberately currying favor with the Xiao

family. They were afraid of offending the Xiao Family. They were extremely careful.

This caused some of the villagers to feel uneasy and dissatisfied.

If the developers gave them enough benefits, they might turn around and betray Xiao Lingyu.

This was the real reason why Gong Tianhao came to look for the village chief.

Hearing Xiao Lingyu’s words, both the village chief and Father Xiao immediately reacted.

Their faces sank.

It was hard to say how the villagers would lean. As Gong Tianhao said, greed was the heart of all sins.

For the sake of money, how many wars had been fought already?

The village chief frowned. The village chief’s expression was very grave as he asked, “Young Master Gong, what do you think we should do?”

Father Xiao also looked at Gong Tianhao. The Xiao Family was the richest family in the family, but that very fact contributed to this problem. They were rich, but they were not richer than the big bosses who wanted their land.

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Village chief, Yu ‘Er wants me to protect Taoyuan Village, so I will not let anyone touch an inch of this land.”

When he heard Gong Tianhao’s words, the village chief’s heart immediately relaxed.

He did not doubt Gong Tianhao’s words at all.

But then Gong Tianhao added in a serious tone, “Village chief, if the developers really do come to offer great rewards, I want you to tell the villagers to think twice before agreeing, It’s better they do not agree because they will not succeed. If they push it to the state where harm is to come to Yu’Er or the

Xiao Family, there will be consequences.”

Xiao Lingyu wanted to roll her eyes.

‘What is he trying to do? With his status, as long as he secretly releases the words on the market, who would dare to come after Taoyuan Village anymore?

“But he can do whatever he wants.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t say anything, She knew that with a word, Gong Tianhao could easily restore peace to Taoyuan Village. But she knew that if she did that, it would mean that she would owe him a big favor.

Granted, what he was doing was still a favor to her, but at least she didn’t ask for it. It was different… to her mind.

The village chief didn’t know what Gong Tianhao’s words meant, but he still remembered them.

He nodded and said, “Alright, Young Master Gong, I’ll tell the villagers about this in advance.”

Gong Tianhao didn’t say anything else.

After the village chief left, Gong Tianhao met Xiao Lingyu’s meaningful gaze and smiled.

Gong Tianhao lowered his head and looked at her. He smiled and asked, “Yu ‘Er, were you charmed by my handsomeness?”

Father Xiao spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard this.

“Ahem…” Papa Xiao cleared his throat and said, “I still have some matters to attend to. You guys can chat. Oh, yes, I need to go to a meeting too.”

He quickly scurried away.
