Chapter 1023 1123. People from my hometown

Nie Wei's sudden appearance should be beyond the expectations of these people, which Nie Wei can see from the stunned expressions on their faces.

But who are these people? Nie Wei was puzzled.

"Nie Wei, you're back." A familiar voice, Zhou Aiguo stood up from the crowd, and Nie Wei realized that Zhou Aiguo, who had been sitting just now, was blocked by this group of people and he didn't notice it.

Nie Wei nodded to Zhou Aiguo, and then looked at the group of strangers.

"Hello, I'm Nie Wei." Looking at a group of people standing there stiffly, Nie Wei judged the identity of this group of people in his heart, smiled, and took the initiative to greet them. After all, this is a matter of courtesy. It's not right for the host to let the guests greet first.

"Xiao Wei, let me introduce you, this is you..." When Zhou Aiguo was about to introduce Nie Wei, the door of the small house next to him was suddenly pushed open, and then Nie Wei saw a familiar figure rushing out.

"Brother, come in with me, I have something to ask you." Zhou Duoduo grabbed Nie Wei's arm and dragged him into the house. Nie Wei had no choice but to make an apologetic expression to everyone.

Everyone watched Zhou Duoduo drag Nie Wei into her little room, and then Zhou Duoduo slammed the door shut.

"I'm sorry, the child is used to being alone." Zhou Aiguo explained a little awkwardly, but everyone else present waved their hands and said they didn't care.

Nie Wei was actually pulled into the house by Zhou Duoduo, otherwise, with her little strength, how could she pull Nie Wei.

After entering Zhou Duoduo's room, Nie Wei slapped her hand away and asked, "Tell me, who are those people outside?"

"Anyway, they are not good people." Zhou Duoduo pouted and answered, but as soon as she finished speaking, Nie Wei knocked her head with his finger, indicating that she should answer properly.

"They are my father's fellow villagers. Every time they come, they ask my father for money." Zhou Duoduo covered her forehead and said in a muffled voice: "If I hadn't pulled you in time, I guess they would have the nerve to open their mouths to you. You don't know..."

"Stop, stop, Zhou Duoduo, don't say these words again in the future." Nie Wei warned Zhou Duoduo.

Seeing Zhou Duoduo's angry look, Nie Wei patiently explained to her: "I don't want you to be stingy. Our Duoduo has never been stingy since she was a child. I just don't want your words to spread outside. After all, they are Uncle Zhou's fellow villagers. It can be seen that Uncle Zhou still cares about them. Otherwise, he would not agree to their requests again and again."

"And if your words are heard by those people, I don't know if they have the face, but they will definitely hurt Uncle Zhou's feelings. Don't you think so?"

"I'm just talking to you. I have never said these words to anyone else." Zhou Duoduo explained in a low voice.

"Well, now that I've grown up, I still remember when you called me a 'big bad guy' in front of me when I was a kid." Nie Wei smiled and rubbed Zhou Duoduo's hair. The girl's face was slightly hot while she was busy resisting. Obviously, Nie Wei's words evoked some bad memories that she didn't want to recall.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and Nie Wei talked about those people outside again. This time Zhou Duoduo gave Nie Wei a detailed explanation.

"I don't remember when I was five or six years old. They first appeared, and then they appeared every two or three years. When they came, my dad was busy entertaining them. Once I pretended to sleep and secretly eavesdropped on their conversation, and then I knew that this group of people came to my dad to ask for money."

"Oh, by the way, they called it hometown investment, but after so many years, they invested a lot of money, but they didn't see any return."

When Zhou Duoduo was telling Nie Wei, Zhou Aiguo's group of fellow villagers outside were also complaining to Zhou Aiguo.

"Aiguo, I really don't want to embarrass you anymore. You have done so much for your hometown over the years, but we haven't accomplished anything. We feel guilty about you."

"Old village chief, please don't say these words. These are what I should do for my hometown." Zhou Aiguo found a tissue box, took out two pieces and handed them to the old man who was wiping his tears.

Zhou Aiguo was angry and helpless about this group of fellow villagers.

In the past ten years, he has invested tens of millions in his hometown. If all of it was used for infrastructure construction, his hometown would have changed dramatically by now.

But in fact, the situation has not changed at all.

Part of this money was misappropriated by the superiors, saying it was a temporary loan, but as the term of office passed, the account was eventually left unresolved. The remaining money was also used by the township for investment, and dairy factories, water plants, chicken farms and pig farms were opened one after another...

It's just that these factories were all prosperous at the beginning, but they all went bankrupt within two years.

The chickens and pigs raised also lost money due to poor management. As a result, Zhou Aiguo invested tens of millions of yuan, but in the end, not only did he not help the villagers change their lives, but the villagers also owed the bank millions of yuan because of the closure of factories and farms.

When Zhou Aiguo heard the news for the first time, he was stunned.

For a while, Zhou Aiguo was really tired and didn't want to manage it anymore, but seeing the villagers coming to him, and he grew up eating food from hundreds of families, Zhou Aiguo couldn't bear to refuse every time.

"Uncle Zhou really can't let these people mess around all the time." After listening to Zhou Duoduo's words, Nie Wei thought to himself.

It is obvious that the people in Zhou Aiguo's hometown are obviously ambitious but incompetent. They always have all kinds of ideas, but when they really get the money to do it, it is completely different from what they thought.

This group of people are obviously not good at doing business. In Nie Wei's opinion, even if Zhou Aiguo invests in a dairy factory and a water station for them, they can still easily make money.

"Brother, do you think they are relying on our father?"

"But then again, this group of people is not useless. I like the noodles they bring every time. The steamed buns made with that noodles are delicious." When Zhou Duoduo said this, she subconsciously licked her lips with her tongue.

"Noodles?" Nie Wei caught a key point from Zhou Duoduo's words.

"Duoduo, are you talking about the kind of noodles that are not too white?" Nie Wei confirmed with Zhou Duoduo again.

"That's the kind." Zhou Duoduo answered affirmatively. That kind of noodles is really special. The flour of other families is snow-white, but the flour brought by those people outside is brown, and the steamed noodles are the same, slightly brown, but the taste is great.

Zhou Duoduo was not a person who liked noodles very much, but every time she used that kind of noodles to steam the scrolls and steamed buns, she could eat two at a meal.

Nie Wei had also tasted it and it was indeed very delicious. He even asked his mother what ingredients she used. Now that he thought about it, Su Qing had said that it was made of noodles brought back by Zhou Aiguo’s hometown people. Now that he thought about it, it should be those people outside.

The old village chief in the courtyard was holding Zhou Aiguo’s hand and begging for his help.

"Aiguo, when I came this time, the township was demolishing and preparing to demolish all the old bungalows, and then build new buildings on the original foundations of these old houses."

"The township promised this time that as long as the new buildings are built, the villagers whose houses were originally demolished can exchange land for houses if they do not want compensation. They said that the smallest house can be exchanged for a two-bedroom and one-living-room building. Some families with more land can even exchange two or three houses."

"But the township encountered difficulties in attracting investment."

"Someone from above came to me and hoped that I could come and talk to you. I think you are also in this field. See if you can cooperate with the township to build these buildings."

"Aiguo, I think this is a good thing. Buildings are not like those companies that go bankrupt if they are not managed well. Buildings will not run away if they are left there."

After the old village chief finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Aiguo eagerly. At this moment, the people who came with the old village chief also looked at Zhou Aiguo with the same eyes as the old village chief.

But Zhou Aiguo was silent and did not give an answer at the first time.

Zhou Aiguo's rationality told him that this matter was unreliable. First of all, it was very strange that the township could not find a developer to attract investment in building a building.

In addition, there was no potential for real estate investment in his hometown. There were no cultural relics, no development zone, and no good mountains or water nearby. There was only a stinky reservoir with few fish.

The most important thing was that according to Zhou Aiguo's understanding, his hometown did not have much money at all. How could they afford to build a building?

Although Zhou Aiguo wanted to contribute to the construction of his hometown, he did not want to be taken advantage of by those people. So when faced with the request of the old village chief, Zhou Aiguo remained silent for the first time.

Seeing Zhou Aiguo's reaction, everyone in the courtyard felt a 'thump' in their hearts, knowing that things were going to go wrong.

As Zhou Aiguo guessed, the township actually had no money to build a building. Originally, the township was going to invest the demolished land into those developers, so that the township could also share a share of the profits from the houses sold at that time.

But when the developers heard that the township only provided land but not money, they were all unhappy.

After all, there was no development value there at all. The township promised that the demolished households would be given buildings. By then, every local family would have a building, and outsiders would not go to such a remote place to buy a house. Wouldn't the remaining buildings be rotten in their hands?

There was still profit. If they really agreed, they would definitely lose everything.

The small developers around only recognized money and would not give in without money. The big developers in the nearby city looked down on Zhou Aiguo's hometown, and did not even let him see it. A group of people were driven away by security guards at the door of the building.

The result was that the demolition work had begun, but the developer of the building had not yet reached an agreement.

At this time, the township thought of Zhou Aiguo.

It can be said that Zhou Aiguo in front of them was the last straw for this group of people. If even Zhou Aiguo did not agree, then they really had no choice.

"Chairman Zhou, this is a great thing for the township, especially your village, and the township will not treat you unfairly. As long as you agree, we can give you more benefits, as long as we can let the people in the township live in buildings." A middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked to be in his forties said.

Zhou Aiguo glanced at him. This person's surname was Song. Zhou Aiguo only knew it when he was introduced just now. This is the new one.

Zhou Aiguo was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what this person said, he immediately stopped hesitating and ignored the surname Song. He said to the old village chief apologetically: "Old village chief, it's not that I don't help with this matter. It's really that our company has not been doing residential building business for a long time. I really can't do anything about what you said."

Zhou Aiguo's words were not a lie. Now his real estate company's main business is to develop high-end resorts. Zhou Aiguo's resort industry is in Sanya, Jeju Island, Dalian, Qingdao and other places.

As for residential communities, Zhou Aiguo's company has not touched this business for at least three years.

Of course, he said this purely to evade the man surnamed Song beside him. What he said just now really annoyed Zhou Aiguo. He has invested tens of millions for his hometown without any compensation, but he didn't say anything. But what does the man surnamed Song mean?

What does it mean that the village can give up more benefits? Is he, Zhou Aiguo, a person who is greedy for money? If he really loves money, he would never invest so much money in his hometown, which is remote and poor.

And Zhou Aiguo knows what the man surnamed Song is thinking. Isn't it just for his own achievements? Now that he can't end it, he wants to find him to clean up the mess, and he looks like Zhou Aiguo has made a profit by taking this job. If there weren't so many elders and villagers around watching, Zhou Aiguo wouldn't want to pay attention to him.

As soon as Zhou Aiguo said this refusal, everyone's face changed, especially the man surnamed Song, whose face turned pale in an instant.

"Chairman Zhou, everything can be discussed."

"Your company used to be in the real estate business, and the residential area doesn't require much difficulty. Please help."

"Thousands of people in the village are counting on you."

The more Zhou Aiguo listened, the more he disliked this man surnamed Song. Was this considered moral kidnapping? For more than ten years, Zhou Aiguo basically agreed to all the requests of the village, but the actions of the village over the years also made him feel more and more cold. Today's incident can be said to have completely broken Zhou Aiguo's heart.

The old village chief saw the change in Zhou Aiguo's face and knew that things were really bad. He quickly winked at Song Haidong and told him not to say anything more.

But Song Haidong was panicking at this moment, and he didn't see the old village chief's eyes.

You know, before coming here, the village had demolished nearly 200 houses, most of which chose to exchange houses for houses, but now the developer has been unable to find a house, so the building can't be built. Then those whose houses were demolished will see that they can't get the building they want, and it would be strange if they don't make trouble.

By then, this matter will not only fail to become his own achievement, but will become a stain, and even be so serious as to affect his career.

Although the old village chief was not used to what Song Haidong said just now, he also knew that he had to help him at this time.

Just as the old village chief was about to speak, the door of Zhou Duoduo's hut opened again, and Nie Wei, who was dragged in by Zhou Duoduo just now, walked out under the gaze of everyone.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise.
