Less than an hour had passed, and a dense crowd of at least dozens had gathered before Qin Chuan and Qin Gang.
More figures were arriving from all directions. It was clear that the news of a big boss wanting to buy land and build a factory had been thoroughly spread by a few diligent and dedicated elders.
Almost all the original residents who received the message, no matter what they were doing, rushed home. They were afraid of missing out on this great opportunity to get rich.
Demolition has always made people rich!
For ordinary people, this was an unparalleled event that rarely occurred in a lifetime. Only a fool wouldn't be enthusiastic.
In the center of the vast crowd, someone had found a bamboo chair for Qin Chuan and brewed a pot of tea. Qin Chuan sat there leisurely, sipping tea, with his legs crossed, exuding an air of detached composure.
Beside him sat Qin Gang, but his expression was a little tense, and he couldn't be as relaxed as Qin Chuan.
After all, he had never experienced such a grand occasion before. To be able to keep up with Qin Chuan without making mistakes already proved that Second Brother Qin had great learning aptitude.
"Boss Qin, the people who have come are almost all here. Shall we begin now?"
Someone impatient couldn't help but speak.
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer!"
"Has the village chief arrived? When everyone is here, I can explain everything clearly at once, so as not to waste words!"
Qin Chuan said calmly.
This scene made those waiting anxious, but facing such a benefactor, they were helpless. What he said went.
Finally, after an unknown period of waiting, a man in his fifties walked out. He was the village chief, named Huang Naixiang.
"Boss Qin, all the villagers are here!"
"We can start!"
Only then did Qin Chuan elegantly stand up, step onto the bamboo chair, and survey the sea of people below.
"Fellow villagers!"
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qin Chuan, and I'm a factory owner! I don't have many factories under my name, about seven or eight!"
Qin Chuan said loudly. The previously noisy crowd had fallen silent, and everyone listened intently, their eyes filled with reverence and envy.
Such a big boss was everyone's desire, but unfortunately, it was destined to be out of reach for them in this lifetime.
"I originally came to Yongnan County to visit relatives, and I unexpectedly discovered that although Yongnan County is backward, it is very close to Shaanxi Province, separated only by the Yellow River!"
"So, I've been thinking about opening a factory or doing some other business here!"
Qin Chuan clearly stated his intentions.
"I've gathered you all here this time to widely solicit opinions on whether anyone is willing to sell their houses, and what their desired price is."
"Of course, don't ask for exorbitant prices. My cousin is local, and he's very aware of the specific housing prices in your county town."
"And there's a very important point too!"
At this point, Qin Chuan paused. His usually gentle eyes suddenly became exceptionally sharp as he swept across the crowd.
"This investment is just a whim of mine, and it's not that I absolutely must invest here! If anyone among you asks for too high a price, or colludes together to deliberately inflate the price, I can simply walk away and not invest!"
"I hope all you fellow villagers understand this. Don't ruin everyone's path to riches due to temporary greed!"
As Qin Chuan finished speaking, the crowd erupted into noise, with people whispering and discussing.
Some were disappointed, some excited, and some were hesitant.
"Fellow villagers, I... my cousin still has one very important thing to say!"
Qin Gang also called out at this moment.
"His initial investment this time won't be too large, only a few million. After deducting the funds needed for factory construction, the money for buying houses will be around one million!"
"So, not every household will be selected. Please be mentally prepared!"
Bong!!!
Qin Gang's words were like a bombshell, completely stirring the pot and making many people restless.
So, the big boss wasn't planning to buy all the land in the village, but only a part of it. If they missed this opportunity, or if someone else got there first, they would regret it deeply!
"That's the whole situation!"
Qin Chuan added.
"Now you can discuss among yourselves. If anyone is willing to sell their house, they can come to me first to register. I'll make a record!"
"I will personally bring people to inspect your homes one by one tomorrow!"
"Spots are limited, seize the opportunity and you profit!"
"After all, such an opportunity to get rich through demolition is truly rare and precious!"
Qin Gang, standing beside Qin Chuan, cooperatively took out a notebook and a pen.
This further stirred the eagerness in the hearts of the surrounding villagers. They looked at each other, hesitating.
"Boss, can we ask what your demolition prices are?"
A man asked.
"Didn't I just say? Market price! That is, the current housing prices in your area. I believe this is very fair!"
"This is a fair transaction for both parties!"
"Alright, I'll be the first to sign up!"
After hearing the explanation, the man who asked the question was the first to step out of the crowd. A woman was with him, presumably his wife, and they both looked very nervous.
"Brother, come over here!"
Seeing this, Qin Gang immediately showed a kind smile and waved at the man and woman.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Liu Erbao!"
Liu Erbao's expression was anxious. His wife beside him had a similar look.
"How much area do you have at home? How many square meters?"
Qin Gang asked again.
Liu Erbao scratched his head and glanced at his wife. "I'm not really sure. We have a large courtyard, three rooms, about 120 square meters."
After Liu Erbao answered, Qin Gang couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan winked at him subtly.
This was definitely a major client, with three rooms and around 120 square meters.
"Very good, we will bring people to inspect your house first tomorrow!"
Qin Gang said, then called out, "Next!"
Liu Erbao and his wife happily stood aside.
"Me!"
"I'll go first!"
Seeing that Liu Erbao had signed up first and was promised to be the first to be inspected tomorrow, others became completely restless, fearing they would miss this golden opportunity to get rich through demolition.
They rushed forward one after another!
"Don't worry, everyone. Let's line up one by one!"
Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly shouted.
At the same time, he turned to Huang Naixiang and said, "Village Chief, please help maintain order!"
Huang Naixiang roared at the crowded queue, "What are you pushing for! Everyone line up in order. Anyone who disobeys, I won't stamp the village committee's seal!"
This threat was more effective than anything else. The previously crowded queue immediately became orderly.
