Chapter 448 No Longer Wants to Rent Land
Fu Shengyang didn't hide anything from An Xiaoyue, "It's nothing serious. There's a piece of land at the campsite that the owner doesn't want to rent to us."
An Xiaoyue was stunned.
The owner disagreed earlier and later, but the forest-themed campsite is already in its final stages of completion. He says he doesn't want to rent it out. Isn't he just deliberately causing trouble?
"Why doesn't the owner want to rent it?" An Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Fu Shengyang shook his head. "The village chief doesn't know either. He only said on the phone that the landowner suddenly refused to rent to us and even went to the construction site, damaging some of the greenery. Qiao Xun has a contract to sign this morning, and he'll go over this afternoon to find out the details."
Not wanting An Xiaoyue to worry, Fu Shengyang comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry. The land lease is for 20 years, and breaching the contract will result in double the penalty. This is negotiable."
For Fu Shengyang, this was indeed a small matter.
If the cooperation fails, just pay the penalty for breach of contract; there's nothing to fuss about.
An Xiaoyue, however, felt that it was inappropriate to resolve the matter with a penalty for breach of contract.
Those who understand the law naturally know the meaning of liquidated damages.
The economic level of each family in the village is different, and their ideological awareness also varies.
During her hike, she noticed that some families in the village had built three-story villas and were driving luxury cars.
Some still live in single-story houses, and their only mode of transportation is a three-wheeled vehicle used for hauling goods.
Another thing that left a deep impression on her was that her aunt, out of kindness, bought potatoes from a villager.
But we only discovered it when we were about to eat it.
The potatoes on top are fine, but the ones below are all rotten or sprouted, making them inedible.
All of these things demonstrate that the villagers are not united.
Some people who make money are naturally friendly to tourists.
Some families, unable to make money no matter what they do, will definitely try to ruin the village's reputation and leave a bad impression on tourists, thereby affecting their business.
In this digital age, a few casual words from someone online can prevent a forest-themed campsite from operating as scheduled.
Using breach of contract to resolve this matter is clearly more harmful than beneficial.
After much deliberation, An Xiaoyue finally decided to go and see for herself.
"Honey, let's go take a look. We're just staying home anyway, so let's take Lucky out for a walk."
After listening, Fu Shengyang pursed his lips into a thin line and looked at An Xiaoyue thoughtfully.
"What is my darling wife thinking?"
“I think if we resolve this with a penalty for breach of contract, it will give the villagers the feeling of being oppressed and forced to rent, and they will feel resentful. Even if it is resolved now, there may be other problems in the future. If it continues like this, no one will feel comfortable. It would be better if I went with my husband to find out why the other party is unwilling to rent and help them solve the problem.”
After listening, Fu Shengyang did not rush to express his opinion.
The original intention of setting up this camp was to provide a place for children to play, rather than having them only be able to play with electronic devices when they go on trips.
Later, everyone said that it could promote the village's economic development and provide employment opportunities for villagers, which was a good thing.
Now, not a single good thing has been accomplished; instead, the villagers have been burdened with heavy penalties for breach of contract.
For him, the penalty of more than 10 yuan was indeed a very small amount.
But for the villagers, it's not necessarily the case.
Fu Shengyang made up his mind, "Okay, let's go take a look together."
The couple left without hesitation, gathering their belongings from the ground. An Xiaoyue carried Lucky in front, while Fu Shengyang carried the stroller, heading straight back to Buzhichun.
After quickly packing what Lucky needed for his trip, he called the driver and headed straight for the village.
The driver has many years of experience and drives smoothly.
An Xiaoyue woke up from a nap in the last row, and the car was already driving on the village road.
The village chief received word that the boss was coming.
Together with the village party secretary, he waited personally in the village committee office.
As soon as the car stopped, the village chief surrounded them, saying, "Boss Fu, I'm so sorry to trouble you to make this trip in person."
When the village chief extended his hand, Fu Shengyang freed one hand and grasped the other's hand.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a collaboration. If problems arise, we can resolve them through negotiation."
Seeing that Mr. Fu was so easygoing and even brought his child along to deal with the problem, the village officials felt even more guilty.
We have to handle this matter properly for Boss Fu, no matter what. We can't let him feel that investing in the village is a losing proposition.
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, please come in."
Seeing that no one was in the office, An Xiaoyue said directly, "Village chief, everyone is quite busy, so let's not trouble the landowner to make the trip. Just lead the way and we'll go to their place to talk."
"This..." The village chief hesitated, looking at the village party secretary with difficulty.
An Xiaoyue saw his concerns. "Village chief, don't worry, we really are here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble. We want to rent the land, but the owner suddenly doesn't want to. We want to know why. Whatever difficulties they may be facing, we will definitely help if we can."
After An Xiaoyue finished speaking, Fu Shengyang also expressed his opinion, "My wife is right."
The village chief, being the village chief, was well-informed and knew how wealthy Boss Fu was.
If the other party genuinely wants to facilitate this cooperation, how could he possibly hold them back?
"Okay, I'll take you there."
That family worked away from home year-round.
When he called to discuss this matter, it was during the Spring Festival, and the male and female homeowners came together to sign the contract.
The couple signed the contract with smiles, took the money, and didn't seem to have any complaints.
I came back a few days ago and suddenly told him I wasn't going to rent it anymore.
The village chief couldn't get the reason out of him, and he was at his wit's end.
Mr. Fu's investment is undoubtedly a way to boost his political achievements.
He had no choice but to call Mr. Qiao in order to seize the opportunity.
Along the way, the village chief introduced the couple to the village's situation.
As they talked, they also mentioned the landlord's family situation.
"There are only three people in their family now. They live in another city all year round and only come back for the Spring Festival. Their daughter was the first person in the village to be admitted to a 985 university. She came back after only a short time away. I don't know why?"
Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the landowner's house.
"Brothers and sisters of the Mi family, I am the village chief. Open the door, I need to talk to you."
After the village chief shouted through the courtyard gate, footsteps could be heard coming from inside.
With a creak, the courtyard gate, adorned with door gods, opened a crack.
The woman's haggard face appeared at the doorway; she placed her hands on the door and looked around warily.
"Village chief, I really can't rent that land to you." Her voice was hoarse and weary.
“Girl, it’s not like you can just say you don’t want to rent anymore. Your land is leased for twenty years, and based on the area, you’ve been paid 108,000 yuan. If you don’t rent it, you’ll have to pay the boss 216,000 yuan back.”
When Mi's wife heard this, she was unhappy.
"No money! If you really want it, then force us to our deaths," the Mi family's wife said resolutely.
Tears streamed down her face; she felt utterly wronged.
