"Borrowing from the bank again?!"
Qin Gang exclaimed, his mind feeling a bit muddled.
"You really treat the bank like an ATM, don't you? Just go to the bank when you're out of money?"
"I remember banks aren't charities. This eight hundred thousand yuan we just got was from the bank. Will they lend us more?"
"Second Brother!"
Qin Chuan pointed to the eight hundred thousand yuan on the table and explained, "This eight hundred thousand was lent by Sister Li Ya. What does it have to do with me, right Sister Li Ya?"
Li Ya smiled and nodded, "That's right, this eight hundred thousand was just a loan I got from the bank, and it has nothing to do with Qin Chuan!"
"This time, the one borrowing from the bank is no longer me, but Qin Chuan himself!"
Qin Gang's mind couldn't quite catch up, and he exclaimed again, "My third brother?"
"Stop joking. I remember bank loans require collateral. My third brother might be capable, but he's penniless. Except for him, who else is worth anything? The bank doesn't want a person, so why would they lend him money?"
"That's a fair point, haha!!"
As soon as Qin Gang finished speaking, Li Ya couldn't help but giggle. Her beautiful eyes swept over the sullen Qin Chuan with amusement.
"Indeed, the bank doesn't think much of your third brother!"
Qin Chuan's face darkened, filled with frustration.
"Who says I don't have capital? I have plenty of assets!"
"When we take the eight hundred thousand to Huangjia Village tomorrow and settle the final payment, won't those villagers' houses be mine?"
"Then I can use these houses as collateral with the bank. Why wouldn't the bank lend me money?"
"Once the bank releases the funds, we can use that money to build houses. Wouldn't everything be smooth sailing then!"
By the time Qin Chuan finished explaining, Qin Gang was completely stunned, his jaw agape.
"You... you can play it like that?"
He finally managed to say in astonishment.
"This is just a very common financial game, one that many people have played to death! Second Brother, learn from this. You'll encounter many more fun things like this in the future!"
Qin Chuan patted his second brother's shoulder, then turned to Li Ya and asked, "Sister, have you had dinner?"
"No, I've been waiting for you in the office!"
"Perfect, then. What do you like to eat? I'll drive out and get it!"
Qin Chuan grabbed the car keys, and half an hour later, he returned with bags of food.
That night, the three of them stayed in Li Ya's office, eating and drinking. Afterward, they even played card games like Dou Dizhu and Fishing for a Goldfish.
Before they knew it, a night had passed, and the sky outside was bright.
After a simple wash, Qin Chuan and Qin Gang, the brothers, bid farewell to Li Ya and, with over seven hundred thousand yuan in cash, headed towards Huangjia Village.
Upon arrival, they were quickly spotted by sharp-eyed villagers.
"Boss Qin!"
"Good morning, Boss Qin!"
"Boss Qin, did you bring the money today?"
The villagers gathered around, all incredibly enthusiastic.
Qin Chuan smiled and nodded to each of them, then took out the briefcase filled with cash from the car. He patted it firmly and announced loudly, "Notify everyone, come to the village chief's house to collect your money!"
"Yay, that's great!!"
"Long live Boss Qin!"
"Boss Qin's efficiency is top-notch, truly a man of his word!"
Flattery poured in, and everyone was ecstatic, spreading the news.
Within minutes of Qin Chuan and Qin Gang waiting at the village chief's house, villagers began arriving in droves, their speed remarkable.
Qin Chuan had Qin Gang take out yesterday's contracts. He read out a name, and then a villager would come forward to collect their money. As money was exchanged, property deeds and land use certificates were also handed over, and supplementary agreements were signed. The process was seamless.
Looking at the stacks of hundred-yuan bills in the briefcase, the villagers' eyes gleamed. Some of their eyes even turned red.
Those who had come just to watch were even more so, filled with intense jealousy.
However, no one dared to harbor any ill intentions.
In recent years, the government had been strengthening its grip, severely punishing local thugs and village bullies, making the domestic environment increasingly stable, unlike a few years ago when various crimes were rampant.
Even if someone had wicked thoughts, they wouldn't dare to act on them. The peanuts in prison were always for those who ate meat, never for vegetarians!
Time passed quickly. In less than an hour, everyone had received their money. Some received over ten thousand yuan, while others received over thirty thousand.
In short, everyone who received money was beaming with joy.
Meanwhile, the money in Qin Chuan's briefcase dwindled, eventually running out completely, leaving it clean.
"Alright, is there anyone who hasn't received their money?"
Qin Gang asked loudly. The answer was a chorus of laughter; no one was left out.
"Then, this transaction has come to a perfect conclusion!"
Qin Chuan announced.
"I wish you all a better life in the future, and please, don't squander this money!"
"At the same time, I want to say a few words to those villagers who were not included in this round of demolition!"
The entire place fell silent, and everyone listened attentively.
Under their gazes, Qin Chuan declared, "To my dear folks who were not part of the demolition this time, please don't be discouraged. The reason I only acquired this much land was due to some temporary cash flow issues!"
"Rest assured, once my financial situation improves, I will acquire the remaining houses as well. If you are still willing to sell, I will definitely buy!"
"Boss Qin, is that true?"
As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, the previously dejected and gloomy faces of the villagers lit up with hope.
It was as if someone had pulled them back from the brink of danger.
"Boss Qin, you can't lie to us!"
"We trust you completely!"
"I, Qin Chuan, always keep my word. One spit, one pit!"
Qin Chuan declared, radiating immense confidence.
At this, those who were not included in the demolition plan finally rejoiced, their earlier gloom completely dispelled.
From their interactions with Qin Chuan over the past two days, they found this "outsider young boss" to be quite reliable, efficient, and straightforward.
In just a few days, he had skillfully handled the tricky matter of demolition, ensuring no conflicts and a win-win situation for everyone.
Not long after, the villagers gradually dispersed, leaving only Qin Chuan, Qin Gang, and the family of Huang Naixiang at the village chief's house.
"Village Chief, I'll leave the rest to you. Please try to have the villagers clear up the remaining mess within a week so that I can officially start construction!"
Once they were alone, Qin Chuan took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Huang Naixiang.
"Here are two thousand yuan. I'll give you the remaining three thousand after all the villagers have moved out!"
"Certainly! Absolutely!"
"I will urge them to hurry!"
Huang Naixiang happily accepted the money, his face creasing with smiles. The others were also delighted.
It was too easy to earn this money; they had made in a few minutes what they would normally earn in a year just by talking. This was truly exciting for them.
A few minutes later, Qin Chuan and Qin Gang, warmly sent off by Huang Naixiang and his family, walked out of the courtyard.
"Village Chief, we'll be taking our leave!"
Qin Chuan said.
"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Qin, travel safely!"
Huang Naixiang bowed subserviently.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to get into the car, he suddenly caught sight of a group of people approaching in the distance, accompanied by some Huangjia Village villagers.
"Village Chief, someone is looking for you!"
A villager shouted from a distance.
Huang Naixiang turned to look, and Qin Chuan also paused slightly.
He saw a group of people approaching in the distance, men and women, all dressed impeccably, clearly individuals of some standing.
However, Qin Chuan didn't think much of it. He turned back to the car and quickly drove away with Qin Gang...
