Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

“Prices aren't what they used to be. The days when a few thousand dollars could build a house are gone. Now, building a simple brick house of about a hundred square meters costs seventy or eighty thousand.”

“Our dilapidated house renovation funds are only thirty to fifty thousand. After demolishing the old house, that amount of money can only build a small house, and that small house simply can't accommodate so many people.”

“Which means, if we allocate this money and demolish, we'll face the problem of the house not being big enough or livable enough. But if we don't demolish, that won't work either.”

“So, my suggestion is to spend more money and build a residential complex in the village, so that all the villagers can live in big houses and high-rise buildings like city people.” Xiong Xu gave a lengthy speech, first laying out the problem and then proposing a solution.

The village committee cadres present were stunned after hearing Xiong Xu's words. They looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.

Build a residential complex?

Is he crazy?

“Secretary Xiong, building a residential complex might solve the problem you just mentioned, but I don't think we have enough money.” Village clerk Xiong Jingjiang expressed his doubts.

“Also, you'd have to get the villagers' consent to use the money to build a residential complex. The villagers might not agree to the plan.” Village director Xiong Jingshan also indicated that the plan was not feasible.

The other cadres didn't speak, but their thoughts were the same as Xiong Jingshan and Xiong Jingjiang. This plan was too idealistic and not practical.

Firstly, there wasn't enough money. A little over ten million wouldn't even be enough to lay the foundation. Secondly, the villagers wouldn't agree. There were two reasons why they wouldn't agree: it was unfair.

The dilapidated house renovation funds varied from household to household, and some families didn't even have any. If the money was all used to build a residential complex, how would the houses be distributed?

People who got smaller houses would feel it was unfair when they saw that others had larger houses.

Even if the sizes were the same, people who had received 40,000 for their dilapidated house renovation funds would wonder why they were getting the same size house as someone who only received 30,000.

Xiong Xu listened carefully to his second and third uncles and understood what they meant. He had already prepared a response.

“Here's what I'm planning. Once the dilapidated house renovation funds come in, we'll distribute the money to each household according to the town's roster, putting the money in the villagers' pockets first.”

“I've already contacted the construction company. Once they give us a budget, we'll raise funds based on the budget, stipulating how much each household needs to contribute.”

“However, each household can contribute more or less. They can contribute 30,000, or they can contribute 1,000. I'll cover the shortfall, and once the breeding company generates profits, I'll deduct it from everyone's dividends to recover the money I advanced.”

“This will ensure everyone's fairness. Everyone contributes the same amount of money. Of course, I won't cover the shortfall for people who don't invest in the company.”

After saying this, Xiong Xu suddenly thought of something and immediately asked in his heart, “System, in this situation, if I deduct the advanced funds from the dividends, will it still be considered villagers' income?”

“Although the dividends are deducted by the host, the villagers actually enjoy the dividends, so it is considered income,” the system replied.

Xiong Xu's hanging heart was put down. He was afraid that deducting the dividends wouldn't count as villagers' income, otherwise, he would have to find another way to build the residential complex, such as paying for it himself.

In fact, on the way back, Xiong Xu had also thought about paying for it himself, but considering that after the residential complex was built, the villagers might not be willing to spend money to buy the houses in the complex, after all, building the complex alone would cost 650 million. Even if he only sold it at cost, the villagers would have to spend millions to buy it.

With a million, the villagers would never think of buying a house in the residential complex. They would rather build a new house themselves or directly go to the county to buy a house and settle down.

And Xiong Xu couldn't possibly build it and give it away for free, or sell it at a low price, otherwise, he would lose money.

The same old saying, he had to seek welfare for the villagers, but his own interests could not be damaged. Therefore, the way to build the residential complex was still to raise funds from the whole village, which was fair to everyone.

“You'll cover it? Do you have that much money?” Xiong Jingchun couldn't help but ask.

“Yes, this time when I went to Hongchang, I met my future mother-in-law and father-in-law. Their family is rich, and they lent me 800 million.” Xiong Xu frankly said that he had borrowed 800 million.

800 million!!

The whole place was immediately shocked, and everyone was so surprised by this astronomical figure that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xiong Jingchun was even more stunned.

He knew that his son had a girlfriend, but he didn't know that his girlfriend's family was so rich that they could take out 800 million to lend to his son.

My goodness.

What kind of big shot is my future in-law?

I have to go home and ask about it later.

“Secretary Xiong, if you have this 800 million, why don't you build it yourself?” Women's Federation Director Li Shufang couldn't help but ask.

“Can my family split into multiple people? Can my family finish living in such a big complex? I can't possibly build it myself and give away the houses for free, right? The reason why I chose to raise funds is to tie the interests of the whole village together, to get rich together, to become rich people together, and to achieve common prosperity for the whole village!”

“I'm not selfish, but I don't do charity either. One thing is one thing!” Xiong Xu said with a solemn expression.

“Why do we have to build a residential complex? Why can't we build our own houses? Building a three-story villa for each household is enough for many people to live in. This way, it will cost less money and put less burden on the villagers.”

“Yes, it's true that you're covering the shortfall for building the residential complex, but the villagers are actually burdened with this debt, just like having a mortgage. Although they don't have to repay this debt, you directly deduct it from the dividends, but the villagers invest in the breeding company, don't they rely on the dividends to live? If you deduct it, what will they live on? I still don't agree to raising funds from the whole village to build the residential complex.” Xiong Jingshan said sharply.

His words were completely from the perspective of the villagers, not wanting the villagers to bear the debt.

After listening, Xiong Xu also felt that it made sense and that he really couldn't deduct all the dividends, so he made an adjustment and said, “What the director said makes some sense and is the key to the problem. I can do this. Every time the dividends are distributed, I will deduct some, but not all, and leave some to be distributed to the villagers so that the villagers have money to use.”

After speaking, Xiong Xu continued, “As for why we must build a residential complex, it is to plan for the long-term development of Shanhong Village. Building a residential complex can better utilize the village's land. The freed-up land can be used to build more buildings, accommodate more people, or provide a larger expansion range for the breeding base.”

“In this way, Shanhong Village has development potential. If everyone builds three-story villas, then I believe that as long as the villagers have money in their hands, they will build houses everywhere. The father builds one, the son builds one, and the grandson builds one.”

“Our village has little land to begin with. If we build it this way, how much land will be left in the village?”
