Lu Yao's behavior made Lu Xiaoyi sit farther away from her, as if she was afraid that Lu Yao would suddenly turn his eyes and plot against her.

Wang Shan frowned and asked, "Do we have to do this?"

Lu Yao spread his hands and smiled, "We can also listen to you and directly notify Shenyuanzhuang to demolish the house, and then see if the work progresses faster."

Lu Xiaoyi, who had moved a little further away, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Mr. Lu is right."

When Wang Shan looked over, Lu Xiaoyi said, "I've worked in the countryside before. Once something like a demolition happens, there will always be a few stubborn residents in a place."

"If you really raise the compensation price according to the demands of the nail households, the progress of the work will be delayed longer and longer, because other households that have already reached an agreement on demolition will also come to you to raise the price, and eventually this matter will become a pot of soup."

Wang Shan was silent. The world outside the laboratory was indeed complicated.

Lu Yao had long been accustomed to these things.

In the next few years, his hometown will also demolish the land of abandoned old houses and return farmland to forest. He happened to be in his hometown at that time and encountered many ridiculous things.

Some old houses on the outskirts of the village need to be demolished, but the areas of different families’ houses are different, so the compensation amounts are also different.

Some villagers started to make trouble when they saw that other families received more compensation for demolition.

This is just the compensation for returning farmland to forest.

There are more disputes regarding demolition compensation for residential or construction land.

Therefore, before 2010, in order to comply with the requirements of vigorously developing infrastructure, urban construction companies in many places had their own solutions. For example, the godfather that the fishmonger in "Storm" forced himself to acknowledge was this "solution".

There is nothing we can do about this.

There are some people who you can't persuade with just a gentle word. They have to use force to persuade you. Because of these unreasonable people, many kind people are bullied.

When you find that you can make more money by scaring others, who can resist this temptation?

With Lu Xiaoyi's support, Wang Shan didn't say anything else.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoyi drove to the city center of Suyu and began to negotiate this matter with the local officials.

Lu Xiaoyi had been in the center of Suyu until the evening. As soon as she came back, she looked at Wang Shan and Lu Yao and said, "The matter has been settled. Before I came back, my car was stopped as soon as I left the house. Several local building materials suppliers found me. Is this not a big problem?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Not much, we just make less money."

People who are engaged in earthwork, transportation and construction in various places are very well-informed about the news. If they are not, they will not be able to continue working in this industry.

Lu Yao's proposal is not only risk-free, but also can make a small profit. The local bullies will definitely not let go of this mosquito leg. No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat.

Hearing Lu Xiaoyi and Lu Yao's chat, Gan Xiaoxi, who was curled up on the sofa watching TV series, turned around and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Yao replied: "We are talking about how to make money."

Gan Xiaoxi let out an “ow” and then said, “Then tell me how you plan to make money.”

She came here on a mission.

In addition to supporting Lu Yao, she also has to submit a written report of the work here to Rong Nianqing.

Lu Yao then told others how he planned to make money, and finally he concluded: "After this wave of operations, I can probably make a small amount of pocket money of 10 million. The most important thing is that it is completely legal and compliant."

If there is really nothing going on in Liuzhuang, then they can just buy this land and keep it for future development. If Liuzhuang really starts to become troubled, then it is reasonable to change the original construction plan.

It depends on whether Liu Zhuang will start to make trouble as Lu Yao expected.

Gan Xiaoxi had long been accustomed to Lu Yao's insidiousness and viciousness. Ever since she and Rong Nianqing approached Lu Yao to deal with Wang Nieqing and others, Gan Xiaoxi began to get to know Lu Yao again.

After going through so many things, Gan Xiaoxi has become more familiar with Lu Yao's methods.

After talking with Lu Yao, Gan Xiaoxi took out his work notes and recorded his work log.

Lu Yao and his team also acted quickly. First, Lu Yao found a nearby building materials factory and negotiated with them to order a batch of building materials. Then he cooperated with the local construction company to prepare for the subsequent sales and construction of houses.

With Lu Xiaoyi accompanying him, Lu Yao didn't have to spend much effort talking about these things, and was even worshipped like the God of Wealth by local construction companies.

Several local construction companies had already received the news. These two people would have big projects in the future, and the early projects in Liuzhuang were not even an appetizer.

So Lu Yao completed all the links in just four days.

However, Lu Xiaoyi, who followed Lu Yao the whole time, couldn't help but feel a little wary when he saw Lu Yao's experienced look when he was eating, drinking and negotiating with local builders.

She has seen too many executives taking advantage of procurement to get kickbacks. These executives have enriched themselves and then, not surprisingly, messed up things.

If this kind of thing was only done by certain business groups, Lu Xiaoyi would not care, but she was the supervisor of this AI project, so she was very worried.

Thinking of Wang Shan's regard for Lu Yao, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but remind him: "Boss Lu, I have no objection to you doing this in the early stage of the Liuzhuang project, but if you still do this in the later stage of Shenyuanzhuang, it will be very inappropriate."

Lu Xiaoyi's tone was stern, and his words were formal and even serious.

After hearing this, Lu Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Supervisor Lu, this is also my own business. Don't think that these local snakes are smiling at me now, but after the Liuzhuang project, they will respect me like a god."

Lu Xiaoyi was confused.

No!

Is there a pitfall here?
When did it start?

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Lu Yao with a little more vigilance.

After Lu Yao had connected all the links, the news of the demolition finally came out. The villagers in Liuzhuang didn't believe it at first.

But a few days later, a survey team from the city came to measure the terrain and prepare to build a new road to Liuzhuang to prepare for subsequent projects. Seeing the survey teams coming one after another, the villagers of Liuzhuang finally believed it.

Then the survey team's work came to a standstill.

When the news reached Lakeside Manor Hotel, Wang Shan was confused at first: "Hasn't the progress reached the point of negotiating compensation? We have just started paving the way."

Lu Xiaoyi had just returned from Liuzhuang after learning about the situation. She was in the living room of the villa and said with a smile, "It hasn't come to that, but a few villagers in Liuzhuang have been stopping the survey team from marking the trees to be cut down."

"Those families were outsiders who fled here to escape famine. After arriving here, they had no housing land and could not build houses, so they built thatched houses outside the village. Two generations later, they became large tiled houses with yards, but their houses were not counted on the village brigade's housing land. According to regulations, they cannot get compensation for demolition."

Wang Shan was puzzled and said, "In the countryside, can't we just tell the village brigade and register? It doesn't cost any money."

Lu Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and said, "That's for the people in this village, but people from other villages who want to have homesteads here have to pay to buy the land, otherwise they won't be registered, so the village brigade here has never registered their homesteads."

This situation is very common.

When life was difficult in the early years, many people who couldn't make a living locally would run to places with better living conditions.

People were poor at that time, so no one would say anything if you set up a shack and lived there.

After these people settle down in other places and their living conditions improve, they build houses and yards and consider themselves locals. If you ask them for money to buy residential land at this time, they will definitely not be willing to give you the money.

It would be easy if these outside villagers could marry the local villagers. Basically, everyone in a village is related, so they can just bring some chickens and ducks over to visit and the matter will be settled.

I'm afraid of those who come in groups.

When these outsiders arrived here, they thought, "I'm here to live, what can you do to me? I'm here to use the land, what can you do to me?" As a result, many conflicts occurred in many places and villages.

If the situation gets serious, the higher-ups will send people down to act as peacemakers and allocate some land from the village’s collective land or wasteland to them.

This is also the reason why in many villages, some families have more than ten acres of land, while some families only have a few acres of land.

The territory of the University of Tokyo is too large and its population is too large. In addition, information flow was not convenient in the past, so many places in the countryside have been in a muddle for many years.

If you keep living like this, it won't be a big problem.

But as the domestic economy gets better and better, many places that were originally remote have been favored by real estate developers, especially those with beautiful mountains and rivers.

The land use in these places has always been a mess, so a lot of disputes have occurred during the development process.

After Lu Xiaoyi briefly explained the situation, Wang Shan wondered, "There are only a few families. Can't we just compensate them according to the area?"

Lu Yaole said: "It's not that simple. I guess someone in the village must have said that their land belongs to the village, so the money should be shared by the whole village, but those families disagreed, so they just blocked the road so that no one could get the demolition money, right?"

Lu Xiaoyi nodded: "That's right."

She had been in Liuzhuang the entire afternoon today, and her head was still buzzing from listening to the villagers swearing at each other. It also reminded her of the painful experiences she had when she was working in a more remote countryside.

Wang Shan was also overwhelmed. He didn't expect that the Liuzhuang project would encounter such a confusing situation just at the beginning.

In this situation, neither side is willing to give up their own interests.

Lu Xiaoyi speculated: "I guess there must be someone in this group who is counting on us to pay money to feed both sides, or this is simply a dragon gate formation set up by Liuzhuang."

Lu Yao guided her, "Sister Lu, what do you think we should do? We definitely can't pay more money. We have to let them solve this problem internally and make one side compromise." After that, Lu Yao pretended to think while stroking his chin, "If we want them to compromise, we must make them feel that if we continue to make trouble, we will suffer more losses."

Lu Xiaoyi was very smart, and she quickly said, "Post a notice stating that if the roads on both sides cannot be cleared within the deadline to build the road, the local demolition plan will be cancelled. The local villagers of Liuzhuang will definitely compromise in order to avoid greater losses."

Lu Yao clapped his hands excitedly and said, "This is a good idea."

"But I think not all the villagers in Liuzhuang participated in this. It would be more effective if we find out the families that took the lead in causing trouble and post a notice together."

Listening to Lu Yao's supplement, Lu Xiaoyi's eyelids twitched. Why did she feel like she was being tricked?
This guy Lu Yao had thought of doing this a long time ago, but he didn't say it. Instead, he kept guiding me to do this. I will take the consequences, and you take the benefits?

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Lu Yao in confusion, wondering who this person was! How could such a person serve as Rong Nianqing's deputy for such a long time?

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, Gan Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Sister Lu, don't be upset. This guy often sets traps for our Rong Zong. In fact, he is a pretty good person. This is called bad taste."

Lu Xiaoyi, who has been influenced by officialdom since childhood, does not like this kind of "bad taste".

Lu Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Well, I'll do it tomorrow."

But she wondered as soon as she finished speaking: "Aren't you afraid that once the notice is posted, the villagers of Liuzhuang will think this is a trap set by you and refuse to cooperate?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "This may be a test, but when the road is built to the door, they will have no choice but to believe it."

Some country folk may be smart, but they cannot think calmly when it comes to greater interests, especially when the first family in the village starts to build a new house, the trend will quickly spread.

Even the smartest people will be affected by following the crowd.

The next morning, Lu Xiaoyi had someone post a notice inside Liuzhuang and asked someone to explain the content of the notice.

As soon as the people who explained the notice left, several families in Liuzhuang village gathered together to discuss the matter. In the main room of a house in the village, men and women from several families in Liuzhuang gathered here.

Someone panicked and said, "This is bad. We are going to be demolished."

An old man in the middle of the hall, smoking a pipe and with shrewd eyes, snorted and laughed: "If they really wanted to leave, they wouldn't have posted a notice with us. Anyway, we shouldn't make a fuss for now, but we shouldn't easily agree to compensation for the demolition."

The old man took a few puffs of his pipe and pondered, "Compensation is calculated based on the building area. Let's wait for other families to come to an agreement. We can delay and build a few more houses so that we can get more compensation."

The men and women from Liuzhuang all nodded in agreement, "Don't worry."

Then in the afternoon, someone from the village found the families on the roadside and told them that their land would also be counted as homestead land, so that they could also receive the demolition compensation.

The next day after the notice was posted, the survey team completed the survey work smoothly and then waited for the road to be repaired.

Before the road was built, the people who went to negotiate the compensation talked with the villagers of Liuzhuang and found that many families were unwilling to negotiate normally. The first batch of people sent there were only there to negotiate their intentions.

For this purpose, they called all the influential people in the village to the team to discuss the matter.

But in the brigade's meeting room, almost everyone in Liuzhuang looked around and fell silent. They had no objection to the demolition price given by the previous negotiators, but they talked about all sorts of things when it came to the compensation area and refused to talk to you in a practical way.

After learning about the situation, Lu Yao was not in a hurry. He said to the compensation personnel who went over to negotiate, "You don't have to be in a hurry. Just take your time to negotiate with them."

Within just two or three days, all the villagers in Liuzhuang reached a consensus and would not easily give up on the compensation area.

When the road-paving excavators and rollers arrived at the entrance of their village, the villagers gritted their teeth even more. Many households in Liuzhuang Village began to build new houses one after another. Some villagers who were late to the party wanted to follow suit, only to find that all the steel bars, cement, sand and bricks nearby had been fixed.

It was at this time that building materials suppliers and builders in the city heard the news and came, including the construction company that Lu Yao cooperated with.

The prefabricated construction plan launched by Lu Yao quickly became popular in the eyes of the villagers in Liuzhuang. Although prefabricated buildings require supporting construction workers and are relatively expensive, this amount of money is nothing compared to the demolition compensation.

Many farmers in the village began to spend their savings to build more houses, and some families with less financial resources even went out to borrow money.

Because they knew that this place might be demolished, it was very easy for them to borrow money.

But Wang Shan, who knew all this, felt guilty. He eventually found Lu Yao and said, "You are causing trouble for the people and confusing the cause with the effect. This is not right. We have to persuade you."

Lu Yao did not stop him and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I do not recommend that you go by yourself. The best way is to spread rumors. If you let our compensation negotiation personnel go to persuade them, they will only think that we are profiteers and do not want to give them compensation."

Mr. Wang Shan also listened to the advice. He quickly asked the people who were protecting him to pretend to be outsiders and gossip.

"In fact, the higher-ups have no intention of demolishing this place. It's the city's developers who are trying to cheat you out of your money."

"You've all been cheated. Don't add more stamps. They're useless!"

These gossips were indeed more effective than the words of the compensation negotiators. More than a dozen households in Liuzhuang actually hesitated after hearing these words, but most families in the village did not listen to these gossips.

The road hit their doorstep, and someone came to negotiate compensation with them, how can it be fake? It must be that the people from other villages are jealous of their success, or the developer wants to cheat them.

The smartest families in the village ignored them and worked day and night to build the walls. However, the families who were still hesitant decided to give it a try again after seeing that most people in the village did not listen.

What if your family pays the least? Wouldn’t that mean you’re risking your life?

The people sent by Mr. Wang Shan kept gossiping for several days but it was of no use. Even on the last day, the people sent by Mr. Wang Shan were beaten out by the people from Liuzhuang.

Seeing the people he sent out coming back with bruised faces and noses, Mr. Wang Shan couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Lu Yao was basking in the sun outside the villa at that time.

Even in the northern part of the country, the weather gets hot in mid-to-late May.

But because Lakeside Manor Hotel is not far from Luoma Lake, the temperature here is much more pleasant than elsewhere.

Seeing that Mr. Wang Shan was a little depressed, Lu Yao smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you don't have to feel bad. As I said before, it's the result of their own greed."

Over the thousands of years, the methods of setting up schemes have changed one after another, but the core point has not changed. It is to take advantage of people’s greed, lust, suspicion, fickleness, fear and other natures.

Even the simplest Ponzi scheme has been played over and over again countless times and has been played out in many different ways, but as long as this scam pops up, there will definitely be people who fall for it.

For example, financial management software has been very popular in recent years and even in the next few years. You invest hundreds of thousands of yuan in it for the high interest rates of the financial management software, but you don’t know that the people behind the financial management software are after your capital.

Even if the anti-fraud personnel came to the door, those who were cheated were unwilling to believe it and were unwilling to withdraw their money, saying that their interest rate would be cut off.

When they could no longer resist the persuasion and started to withdraw the money, they found that they could not withdraw the money, and began to cry and shout, hoping that someone would help them.

Even though the country was vigorously promoting the dangers of Southeast Asia, there were still actors who bought tickets to go there for performance opportunities.
Who can you blame for this?
While Lu Yao was chatting with Wang Shan, Lu Xiaoyi, who was in the room, came out and said, "When I was doing poverty alleviation in the countryside, I didn't dare to visit poor households alone. I had to go with several strong men."

Wang Shan asked curiously: "Why?"

Lu Yao smiled and replied, "I guess if I go there myself, I might be locked in a closet by some bachelor and never be found again."

Wang Shan was silent.

Is this really something a human can do?
Lu Xiaoyi said with a stern face: "Boss Lu is right. I even saw a bachelor hug our female colleague even though we were accompanied by several men."

Wang Shan pursed his lips, feeling that his three views were challenged.

After listening to this, Lu Yao said, "So, if I didn't do this in Liuzhuang and went to Shenyuanzhuang from the beginning, what do you think would happen? How much time would it take to complete the project?"

Wang Shan understood the truth, but the conflict between conscience and reality made Wang Shan feel a little at a loss for a while.

However, it was precisely because Lu Yao could handle these things calmly that Wang Shan realized that he was not wrong about him.

It was right to let Lu Yao be the coordinator and general planner of the AI ​​project. His talent and mind were only suitable for scientific research, so after talking with Lu Yao, Wang Shan no longer asked about Liu Zhuang's affairs.

There are a total of 120 households in Liuzhuang. Even if each household contributes 100,000 yuan to add to the construction, the total construction cost would be 12 million yuan.

But the people in Liuzhuang were greedy. Adding one or two rooms was not enough to satisfy their appetite. They wanted to add two or even three floors.
Looking at the information that kept coming back from Liuzhuang, Lu Yao shook his head.

In his previous life, he was also a hot-headed person involved in such a scam. The A-shares of Evergrande's real estate were the biggest lesson he learned for his future studying abroad. In that real estate carnival, many people saw the housing prices changing every month and jumped in with envy.

Then later on I took over at a high price, so the pressure was huge.

After 2023, the downward economy and falling house prices will make those people who wanted to buy houses in the first place regret it, and some may even jump off buildings.

Obviously, they had been fooled once, but with the stock market rising for seven consecutive days, so many people got excited and jumped in again. Lu Yao was one of them.

Thinking of the ridiculous things he had done in the past, Lu Yao himself laughed.

The wheat ripens thousands of times, and people are just like that.

Everything is changing, and yet nothing is changing.

Lu Yao sighed in his heart and continued to bask in the sun.

Not long after sunbathing, Rong Nianqing suddenly sent a message saying, "Make some time later, I'll pick you up for dinner."

Lu Yao was puzzled: "Ah? You came from Shangnan to pick me up for dinner? Who are you with?"

Rong Nianqing replied immediately: "Tao Sixing."
