Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

The "Bright Future" private room was brightly lit and filled with a lively atmosphere.

The enormous crystal chandelier illuminated the room as if it were daytime.

The gleaming mahogany round table was already laden with a variety of exquisite cold dishes and appetizers.

The air was filled with the aroma of delicious food and the rich scent of fine tobacco and alcohol.

As the host, Jiang Tao naturally sat in the main seat.

Today he is wearing a linen gray casual suit that Xu Li bought for him.

The outfit cost Xu Li more than 3 yuan.

Coupled with Jiang Tao's current calm and composed demeanor, as well as his substantial wealth and resources.

Jiang Xinguo and the others felt that Jiang Tao was exuding an air of nobility!
The group sat in a luxurious place they were entering for the first time in their lives.

His posture was still somewhat reserved, and his eyes were filled with curiosity and unease.

The gazes cast at Jiang Tao were filled with almost burning admiration and a desire to curry favor.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After a few cups of Moutai, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

Jiang Xinguo, his face flushed, raised his glass again, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Mr. Jiang! On behalf of the Jiangjiazhuang Village Committee and all the villagers, I would like to toast you again!"

"You wouldn't believe it, now everyone in the village who mentions you, Jiang Tao, gives you a thumbs up! They say you're the golden dragon that flew out of our Jiangjiazhuang!"

Jiang Wenhai quickly picked up his wine glass and chuckled in agreement:

"Yes, Mr. Jiang! You really make our Jiang family proud! Running such a big company outside, you probably earn more in a day than many factories in the whole county earn in a year! Amazing! Truly amazing! I've lived most of my life and I've never seen a young person more successful than you!"

Jiang Sanping was a dark-skinned, burly man who spoke very directly. He smacked his lips, looked at the table full of delicacies he couldn't name, and sighed:
"At this moment, dozens of villagers in our village are all relying on you, Mr. Jiang, for their livelihood. Everyone is grateful to you."

Women's Director Qiao Erli also chimed in with a smile, her tone carrying the exaggerated yet sincere tone characteristic of women:

"President Jiang is not only famous in Jiangjiazhuang, but he's also a legendary figure in Ping County!"

"President Jiang is now a major internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers!"

"Our Ping County only has four or five hundred thousand people in total, which is less than a fraction of Mr. Jiang's fans!"

“My daughter watches Mr. Jiang’s videos on her phone every day, and she keeps saying that she is Mr. Jiang’s fan and wants me to ask Mr. Jiang for his autograph.”

Everyone chimed in, showering Jiang Tao with praise and admiration.

They talked about how popular Jiang Tao was online, how much money his company made, and how many important figures he knew.

Although these words are straightforward and even somewhat exaggerated, the emotional value they contain is real.

"Haha, you guys flatter me too much. No matter what happens in the future, in our village, I will always be the second son of the Jiang family."

Jiang Tao responded calmly with a smile, neither appearing overly humble or hypocritical, nor revealing the slightest hint of pride.

As the wine flowed and the conversation became more lively, the topic naturally shifted from praising Jiang Tao's personal achievements to the recent troubles in the village.

Jiang Xinguo sighed, his smile fading and replaced by a worried expression.
"Mr. Jiang, you're one of us, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll just vent my frustrations to you."

"Now, like many rural areas across the country, our village can't keep its young people!"

"Those with any strength have all gone out to work, leaving only some elderly people, women and children at home to take care of the children in the village."

"You did farming when you were a kid, so you should know how hard it is."

"As the elderly get older, they are becoming increasingly unable to keep up with their strength."

“Last autumn harvest, Jiang Baowen’s mother was driving an electric tricycle to collect corn when she fell into a ditch and died on the spot.”

"Without the assistance of young people, the safety risks for the elderly to work in the fields on their own are increasing."

When talking about the current situation in the village, Jiang Xinguo's face also showed worry. He wanted to do something good for the village, but he didn't have the ability or connections.

Jiang Wenhai picked up the conversation and continued:
"We cadres are really worried as we see a lot of good land about to be abandoned! It would be such a waste if the land were left to lie fallow."

Upon hearing the topic of conversation between Jiang Xinguo and Jiang Wenhai, Jiang Sanping immediately understood what was going on and chimed in:
“We thought about it for a long time and decided to cooperate with Mr. Liu, the family farm owner in Liujiazhuang next door, and contract out all the land in our village to him.”

“Boss Liu’s farm is highly mechanized and has a lot of manpower to work on it, so they can cultivate all these lands.”

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Modern agricultural mechanization and large-scale farming are major trends. It's not very safe for the elderly to farm, and the returns aren't high."

Jiang Xinguo continued, "The idea is good, but we have also contacted that Boss Liu a few times. Boss Liu already has a lot of land in Liujiazhuang, and I heard that he has also leased land in other villages. He is not very interested in our Jiangjiazhuang land."

Qiao Erli added, "We offered them 200 yuan less per mu than they would have offered in their village, but they weren't very happy. It's been several months and we still haven't gotten any definite news. The wheat is almost ripe, and if we still can't reach an agreement after the harvest, this deal is probably completely off."

At this point, Jiang Xinguo, Jiang Wenhai, and the others all turned their gazes, with a mixture of anticipation and caution, to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Xinguo leaned forward slightly, his tone tentative and pleading:
"Mr. Jiang, I know you're very capable and have a wide network of connections now."

“We’ve inquired and found out that Mr. Liu is related to Ms. Bai Yulan, the owner of the Baiyulan Hotel. Ms. Bai is his cousin.”

"You seem to have a good relationship with Boss Bai. Could you put in a good word for the village and act as a go-between?"

"Let's see if we can get Boss Liu to buy our village's land too. As for the price, we'll accept it even if it's 200 yuan less per mu than what they offer in their village!"

As soon as Jiang Xinguo finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Tao's face.

For them, pushing this forward would be an incredibly difficult task.

But in their view, for Jiang Tao, who now wields immense power, it might just be a matter of a single word.

After listening, Jiang Tao slowly took a sip of tea.

This was really not a big deal for him.

Although he and Bai Yulan had not known each other for long, he had saved Bai Yulan's life.

They also helped Bai Yulan find her younger brother, whom she had been separated from for decades, allowing the three of them to reunite.

These two things instantly increased Bai Yulan's goodwill and closeness towards him, and she treated him no differently than she would her own younger brother.

It's no exaggeration to say that, apart from Bai Yulan's mother, probably no one has more influence or influence in front of Bai Yulan than Jiang Tao.

“Brother Xinguo, you’ve done so many good things for the village, and as a member of the village, I’m of course giving my full support.”

"How about this, I'll call Sister Bai and ask, but I can't guarantee that this will work out."

"After all, contracting all the farmland in our village is not something that can be done with just a word. In business matters, it ultimately depends on the other party's own considerations."

Jiang Xinguo laughed and said, "As long as you, President Jiang, are willing to say it, I estimate that this matter is more than half done!"

"Yes, yes! With President Jiang on the case, one is worth two!"

"On behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank General Manager Jiang!"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao agree to give it a try, Jiang Xinguo and the others instantly beamed with joy.

Everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope that things would be accomplished, and they excitedly expressed their gratitude.

Under the expectant, even breathless gaze of the crowd.

Jiang Tao calmly took out his phone, found Bai Yulan's number, and dialed it.

beep-

The phone was answered in less than five seconds, and Bai Yulan's voice came from the other end.

"Little Jiang, do you miss your sister? Should I catch a plane back?"

"..." Jiang Tao looked slightly embarrassed after hearing Bai Yulan's slightly teasing words.

There are so many people in the private room!

"Cough cough..."

"..."

After hearing what Bai Yulan and Jiang Tao were saying, Jiang Xinguo and the others immediately started thinking about all sorts of things.

The relationship between President Bai and President Jiang is definitely not ordinary!

"Haha, Sister Bai, stop teasing me. I have something important to tell you."

In front of Jiang Xinguo and the others, Jiang Tao felt embarrassed to flirt with Bai Yulan, so he went straight to the point and talked about business.

"Tell me what's important, I'm listening."

"That's how it is, Sister Bai..."

Jiang Tao didn't beat around the bush.

He briefly explained that the land in Jiangjiazhuang Village was to be contracted to her nephew, Boss Liu.

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just this little thing."

"Wait for my call, I'll give you a definite answer in three minutes."

Bai Yulan spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if this was no big deal to her.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sister Bai."

After hanging up the phone, the private room fell into a brief silence.

Jiang Xinguo and the others stared nervously at the phone in Jiang Tao's hand.

If even Bai Yulan's approval can't make this happen, then it's completely hopeless.

The three minutes seemed to stretch on endlessly as countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Xinguo and the others' minds.

Jingle Bell--

Two minutes and 33 seconds after Jiang Tao hung up the phone, his phone finally rang.

The caller ID showed the name as "Sister Bai".

When Jiang Tao swiped his finger to answer the call, he also pressed the speakerphone button.

"Hey, Sister Bai."

"Little Jiang, I've taken care of what you asked for. How are you going to thank me?"

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yulan's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone in the room.

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly realized that they had underestimated the relationship between Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "When Sister Bai comes back from her business trip, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Hehehe, I own a restaurant, do you think I'm short of a meal? You're not being sincere at all."

"How about this, you come to my house and give me a massage that day. Those so-called top technicians at beauty salons are much worse than you."

Bai Yulan didn't mince words and directly expressed her thoughts.

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, okay, no problem. I'll give Sister Bai a massage when the time is right."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily and didn't refuse. He had learned his [System-Level Massage Technique] from the skill book he got from Bai Yulan.

Bai Yulan exclaimed happily, "It's a deal!"

Jiang Tao nodded: "It's a deal!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Bai Yulan continued:

“I told my cousin, and he said there are no problems on his end.”

"Have the village committee cadres take your village's land details to the farm tomorrow and talk to them directly."

"As for the price, we'll give him the normal price we give to the villagers of Liujiazhuang, which is 800 yuan per mu per year."

Swish swish!

Upon hearing Bai Yulan's words, Jiang Xinguo, Jiang Wenhai, Jiang Sanping, and Qiao Erli almost simultaneously jumped up from their seats!
At the same time, everyone's faces showed expressions of ecstatic joy!

Previously, Jiang Xinguo and his group wanted to rent the land to the other party for 600 yuan per mu per year, but the other party hesitated and did not give a definite answer.

Now, Bai Yulan says the price is the same as that of the villagers in Liujiazhuang, 800 mu per year, which is equivalent to securing an additional 200 yuan per mu for the villagers of Jiangjiazhuang!
Don't underestimate this 200 yuan!
Jiangjiazhuang has a total of about 2150 mu of arable land. Each mu earns an extra 200 yuan per year, which is equivalent to securing more than 40 yuan in benefits for the villagers!
40+!

Even the wealthiest family in the village couldn't come up with that much cash in a short time!
Of course, Jiang Tao is an exception.

He can no longer be viewed as a normal person.

"Thank you, Sister Bai."

"Hehe, Little Jiang's affairs are my affairs. I will do my best to handle the things you ask me to do."

"Alright, little Jiang, I have a call coming in, I'll hang up now."

"Okay, Sister Bai, you're busy."

The moment the phone was hung up, the private room erupted in chaos!

"It really worked?! And at the normal price! Mr. Jiang, you've done a tremendous service for our village!"

Jiang Xinguo was so excited that his lips were trembling. He grabbed Jiang Tao's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"That's wonderful! Mr. Jiang, your one sentence is worth more than half a year of running around and talking until our legs were sore! The villagers are going to be overjoyed!"

"General Manager Jiang, I have nothing more to say! I salute you! From now on, in Jiangjiazhuang, your affairs are the affairs of the whole village! If anyone dares to say a word against it, I, Jiang Sanping, will be the first to object!"

As Jiang Sanping spoke, he tilted his head back and downed the two ounces of baijiu in his glass.

"General Manager Jiang is truly capable! He's much better than us old guys!"

Qiao Erli looked at Jiang Tao with immense admiration, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Jiang Family Village has finally produced a capable person!"
Although the matter is not yet settled, with Bai Yulan's guarantee, it is basically a done deal.

Jiang Xinguo and his group toasted Jiang Tao again, their compliments and gratitude even more fervent and sincere than before.

If the previous praise was somewhat polite and had ulterior motives...

So the gratitude at this moment comes from the bottom of my heart, filled with complete admiration for Jiang Tao's abilities and deep emotion for his righteous act.

In their minds, Jiang Tao's image is no longer just that of a "promising young man".

More importantly, they are truly helpful "benefactors" and "backers" who can solve problems for their hometown.

Jiang Tao looked at the excited crowd, still wearing a faint smile, and calmly dealt with everyone's toasts.

For him, it might really just be a trivial matter.

But he could sense the significance of this matter for his hometown and these village officials.

The feeling of being able to easily change other people's predicaments and to be genuinely appreciated and needed also brought him a sense of satisfaction and warmth.

The meal lasted from around 7 p.m. until after 9 p.m.

Today's meal gave everyone a clearer understanding of Jiang Tao's abilities. (End of Chapter)
