Chapter 118 The rent must be raised
Chen Long and Chen Shi have not been looking for new jobs since they were kicked out of the medicine garden.
The main reason is that they don’t want to go far away, and the only place near their home is Yaoyuan recruiting workers, so they are temporarily unemployed and wander around the village all day, occasionally going to neighboring villages to play cards and gamble.
The two of them were leaving the village that day.
Under the old banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a few old men chatted enthusiastically about something.
Only when the two came closer did they hear their words.
"What's the matter with Zhang San from the next village? He bought a lot of good things."
"Yes, I bought several children's clothes and ribs. He rides that The battery car seems to be new!”
“It’s definitely new. I’ve seen his car, it’s just a blue battery car. It’s very worn out.”
“Good guy, he is. Did you get rich? ”
"That Zhang Shan, too, and that boy Zhang He! Buy so many good things!"
"Why do the people in their village seem to be rich today?"
Chen Long, Chen Shi The two of them didn't pay much attention at first.
But they heard a familiar name from the old men’s mouths - Zhang Shan.
Lao Zhang?
How did he get rich?
A farmer.
If you can make a fortune from farming, then everyone in the world will be rich!
Chen Long couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Uncle Liu, did you just say that Zhang Shan bought a lot of things?"
A gray-haired old man replied:
"Yes, I was sitting here just now and saw him passing by on his bicycle. He had half a rack of ribs hanging on the car. He said he wanted to replenish his health for his wife and children. He also had a lot of new clothes and shoes. He must have just returned from the city. .”
Lao Zhang?
How could you be so generous and buy so many things at once?
Chen Long knows this person very well. He is usually very stingy, or very frugal, and is not even willing to smoke a cigarette.
I haven’t seen him buy anything for so long.
Now I'm buying ribs and clothes and shoes?
Looks like you’ve really made a fortune!
How to make a fortune?
Don’t think about it, it must be Yaoyuan who pays wages.
Chen Long and Chen Shi both remember that today is the day when Yaoyuan pays wages!
"Could it be that what the new boss said is true, that the salary in Yaoyuan has really been improved?"
"And depending on the situation, it has been improved quite a lot!"
When I thought of this , Chen Long felt agitated.
When the new boss first mentioned the benefits, he actually didn’t believe it.
In his opinion, such bosses are not good people.
It's said to be an improvement, but in the end, money may be deducted instead.
Who knew it would be true this time!
"Brother Long, if we hadn't left then, maybe we could have made a little fortune now." Chen Shi looked envious.
Chen Long glanced at this guy with contempt.
“People have kicked you away, why the hell do you still want to stick in and help others?”
"That's not what I meant."
"Hey, the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel. Why should you drive us away?" Chen Long said bitterly.
Actually, they were really angry at the time.
But after a while, the anger basically disappeared.
The revenge on Yaoyuan was also forgotten in their minds.
Now that they know the news about Lao Zhang's fortune, the jealousy in their hearts has been rekindled.
"No, I have to get rid of him!"
"I won't let him have a hard time, and I won't make it easy for him!" Chen Long gritted his teeth.
Chen Shi is Chen Long's follower, so naturally Chen Long agrees with everything he says.
He said a little nervously: "Brother Long, do you really want to set fire to the medicine garden as you said?"
Chen Long slapped him on the back of the head.
"You idiot, you were just saying that at the time. In this day and age, if you really set a fire, are you afraid of going to jail?"
"Besides, you saw the medicine garden when you passed by it recently, right? They have harvested all the medicinal materials, why are you burning them?"
Chen Shi scratched his head in frustration. "If it doesn't burn, it won't burn. Why hit me?"
Chen Long pondered for a moment and said: "The land in Yaoyuan is rented from our village. We can let the third uncle increase their landlord status! Hum!"
Chen Shi suddenly realized.
"This is a good idea. You can get revenge and get money at the same time! It's so cool!"
The two hit it off immediately and immediately came to the home of the village chief Chen Jiali and told Chen Jiali about this. thing.
Chen Jiali did not agree at first.
"What are you talking nonsense about? The village and the medicine garden have signed a contract, renting for fifteen years and paying four hundred yuan per mu per year. It has only been three years, how can we breach the contract?"
Chen Jiaque Said: "Uncle Third, that's not what you said."
"When Boss Lin signed a contract with us, it was basically a bit of a deception. This contract It shouldn’t work.”
“The market price at that time was four hundred yuan per acre, but now, Uncle San, it’s only been three years, and it has risen to six hundred and one acre. "How much money have we lost in a few years?"
I have to say that although Chen Long is not a good person, he has a clear mind and a lot of tricks.
When he said this, Chen Jiali immediately hesitated.
What he said does make sense.
This contract is signed for fifteen years. During this period, the market rent has been rising, but they can only charge 400 yuan per acre.
It’s really such a loss.
Chen Jiali didn't feel anything wrong at first, but when Chen Long said this, he felt uncomfortable.
Chen Long continued to be tempting: "Uncle Third, let's increase his rent. It's absolutely reasonable."
But Chen Jiali still hesitated: "What if he doesn't agree and just stops renting?"
"That's a violation of Let’s make an appointment, he has to pay us liquidated damages!”
“Besides, he has invested so much money, bought so much equipment, and built a garden, wouldn’t it be a big loss if he doesn’t rent? ”
Hearing this, Chen Jiali nodded.
He immediately decided to go to the medicine garden with Chen Long and Chen Shi to find the boss.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of the medicine garden.
Chen Jiali was in front, followed by Chen Long and Chen Shi.
"I am Chen Jiali, the head of Chenjia Village. Is Boss Cheng here?" Chen Jiali called.
Cheng Ming saw the three people on the surveillance camera at the gate. When he saw the two scoundrels Chen Long and Chen Shi, he originally didn't want to open the door.
But after hearing the old man say he was the village chief of Chenjia Village, he let them in.
The three of them came to the warehouse.
"What do you want?" Cheng Ming asked.
"Are you Boss Cheng? I came today to discuss the land rent with you. After collective discussion in our village, we believe that the land rent should be increased."
Cheng Ming heard this. His face looks a little ugly.
"Increase the land rent? Didn't you sign a contract with Yaoyuan? The lease period of fifteen years is fixed at four hundred yuan per acre. I remember that, right?"
Chen Jiali said: "That's it Said, but look at the current market price has risen to 600, how high will it rise in a few years? Our Chenjiacun will suffer a big loss after hearing this. I wanted to take advantage of him, but I suddenly didn't feel good about it.
"What does it have to do with us whether you lose money or not? The contract has been signed and the money has been given. I won't give you much money!"
Cheng Ming directly took out the contract. grounds for refusal.
Chen Jiali, an old man, didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chen Long next to him said unhappily: "Cheng, this place is our Chenjia Village's territory after all. I advise you to be more sensible and pay the money obediently, otherwise you will still be in trouble. Back!"
"Yes, that's right!" Chen Shi repeated.
"It's useless for you to threaten me. You signed the contract yourself, in black and white."
Cheng Ming was refusing to take hard and soft orders.
Chen Long and others were furious to death.
Especially Chen Long, he originally thought he could easily handle this new boss, but he didn't expect that this boss was quite "stubborn" and would not accept either soft or hard advice.
Even Chen Long couldn't do anything to him for a while.
The three had to go back to the village to discuss it again.
