Grandpa Li said, “I’ve already discussed this with you guys, so I’ll be the host now.”

“Lin Zhendong got the second-class lair, so he has 30% of the company’s shares. Other than that, he doesn’t need to pay anything else.”

“In the future, the funds and manpower for the development of the second-class lair will be paid by the other 70% of the shareholders.”

“Then, the Li family, the Chen family, and the Shen family will each take 10% of the shares.”

“As for the 10% of shares, it’s up to each family to decide how to split it.”

Everyone nodded. Grandpa Li had already discussed this with them.

Zhang Yewen took out the printed shares document and distributed it to everyone.

Everyone was unconcerned about his actions. It had been discussed long ago.

Lin Zhendong naturally followed the advice and signed the share division document.

Chen Zhengyi and his wife owned a share. Everyone knew these shares would return to Lin Zhendong’s name in the future.

They were both employees, and it was difficult for them to hold shares.

The two of them had no relatives and treated Lin Zhendong as their son.

It was the truth, but the rules still had to be followed.

Otherwise, if Chen Zhengyi and his wife didn’t sign it, how could the others sign it?

On the Shen family’s side, 10% of the shares were divided into two shares. One was in the name of Shen Hu, and the other was in the name of Zhang Yunxin.

Zhang Yunxin should call Shen Hu’s uncle, but they were about the same age. As long as Zhang Yunxin was not in front of the elders, she would call him by his name. Just like how Lin Zhendong would never call Shen Hu uncle.

On the Li family’s side, Li Yi, who was currently studying at Imperial Media University, was in charge.

Li Yi was Li Bin’s biological sister and Grandpa Li’s youngest daughter.

Lin Zhendong had always called her sister.

If one were to argue, Zhang Yunxin and Lin Zhendong were the only ones of the same generation in these families. The others were all elders.

It was just a random way of addressing him, so no one cared.

Before Chen Yan married, Zhang Yuxin even forced Lin Zhendong to call her sister.

Parents could sign on their behalf, so Shen Hu, Zhang Yunxin, and Li Yi were not present. They held the shares of United Agriculture on their behalf.

The follow-up signing was just a small matter. Right now, it was more important to divide the shares.

Grandpa Li collected the documents and handed them to Lin Zhendong. Then, he said, “Let’s discuss which big shots to get the remaining 40% of the shares.”

“How about the four big shots in our district department?” As soon as Chen Zheng suggested, Shen Fei and Li Bin nodded subconsciously.

Pa, pa, pa. The three of them knocked Grandpa Shen’s head.

Grandpa Shen glared at them. Are those four bastards from our district worth so many shares? That’s shares that can be passed down for generations and let them eat for a lifetime!”

“Uncle Shen, who do you think we should choose?” Chen Zhengyi asked helplessly.

“Hmph, just give the district 10% of the shares. Who cares how many people get it?”

“The lair is in Zilong County, so the Zilong County department will also give them 10% and let them split it among themselves.”

“As for the remaining 20%, 10% will be given to the big shots of the city government, and another 10% will be given to the big shots of the Zilong County government.” Grandpa Shen sounded like he had the lair and the country in his hands.

“Good! This division was good! Old Shen, your suggestion is good.” Grandpa Li clapped in support.

“Hmph, of course. It is what it means to split the benefits equally! Besides, what happens after that has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we’ll give them this much. They’ll fight for the division, saving us a lot of trouble.” Grandpa Shen said proudly.

“That’s true. If we push such trouble out, we still have to owe them a favor. If the others can’t get their share, they won’t be able to find us. The few big shots who got the shares won’t allow anyone else to come in and share.” Zhang Yewen nodded.

Shen Fei was a little worried. “Those big shots who can’t get any shares, will they target the shares of our three families?”

Chen Yan said disdainfully, “Our Dongdong!” Those big shots would not be so stupid as to not investigate clearly before taking action. Once they knew that the lair site was given to Dongdong by the Bauhinia Legion, they would not dare to make a single move! Do you think the world’s top eight extraordinary organizations are fake?”

Lin Zhendong listened to their discussion foolishly. Since he didn’t understand and they wouldn’t harm him, he might as well do whatever they said.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that according to Old Master Shen’s suggestion, the big shots of the Yuandong District department would get 10% of the shares, the big shots of the Zilong County department would get 10% of the shares, the big shots of the city government would get 10% of the shares, and the big shots of Zilong County government would get 10% of the shares.

As for why there was no big shot from the Yuandong District government?

What did it have to do with them?

None of the people present were under their jurisdiction, and the lair’s location was not in their jurisdiction. What right did they have to get a share of the loot?

As for how the big shots would split the shares, that was up to them.

The greedy one directly swallowed it himself. However, this was impossible. It should be split between one and two hands.

As for the generous ones, the top 10 in the department would probably be able to split this 10% of the shares.

There were four departments, and each department had 10% of the shares. How they divided the shares would be discussed internally, and it had nothing to do with Lin Zhendong and the others.

Perhaps they would ask, was there a need to make such a big fuss for such a small thing?

They wanted to ally with the big shots of the city, county, and district. Would they accept it?

The most basic White Jade Rice in the development of the lair was an example.

In a first-class lair site, White Jade Rice was usually 20 kg per acre.

If it were a second-class lair site, the number would not change, but the level would be upgraded to Green Jade Rice.

Green Jade Rice was expensive!

Five kg of White Jade Rice was sold for one gold coin, while 2kg of Green Jade Rice was worth two gold coins. The price had increased tenfold!

Fifty arcs out of over 80 acres of lair site would be enough for sapphire rice.

That was 30,000 kg of Green Jade Rice, worth 60,000 gold coins.

Since the country was collecting all of them, they couldn’t sell them at this price. They could discount it to 40,000 gold coins.

Gold coins could be exchanged for Zhongyun dollars. Although Zhongyun dollars were not traded on the market, exchanging one gold coin for 10,000 Zhongyun dollars was more than enough.

It was the price of 400 million Zhongyun dollars, and it did not sound like a lot.

They dared to take this little money and wanted to ally with the big shots of the city government, county government, district department, and county department.

It was still the same sentence. It was easy to exchange gold coins for Zhongyun dollars, but it was difficult to exchange Zhongyun dollars for gold coins.

Therefore, the real value of gold coins was beyond imagination.

For example, Lin Zhendong, a new employee, had a monthly salary of about 2,000 Zhongyun dollars. He was given a gold coin per month according to his salary.

Looking at it from here, 1 one gold coin was only worth 2,000 Zhongyun dollars, not even 10,000 Zhongyun dollars!

However, this was a quota that was allocated according to the salary.

One’s salary of 4,000 would be given two gold coins, and a salary of 6,000 would be given three gold coins.

Other than the quota, it was difficult to buy gold coins with money.

This gold coin could be used to buy 5kg of White Jade Rice at a special store.

It meant Lin Zhendong only had 5kg of White Jade Rice for a month.

No matter how rich Lin Zhendong was, as long as he couldn’t exchange gold coins, he couldn’t buy food!

He would not increase his cultivation and aptitude by eating resources.

One had to know that the vast majority of resources were strictly controlled by the country. If one didn’t have gold coins, don’t even think about buying them!

Earning gold coins was not the priority of the development of the lair site.

Instead, it was the output of the lair site, which was the food resources!

It was because he could directly eat the food to increase his cultivation!

Strength, healing, lifespan, and other physical attributes were all provided by food!

Therefore, the most important strategic resource at the moment was not anything but food!

Compared to the country-owned lairs that were controlled by the country, these privately controlled lairs could be used for their use!

Although the remaining resources would be taken over by the country, one could use more resources before handing them to the government.

As long as one didn’t use half of the production for their use, the country would not care.

After all, they were grown by themselves. The country was already happy to get a batch of free resources.

Therefore, everyone valued their private lairs for these resources.

Money was not worth mentioning here.

Even gold coins were not worth mentioning.

Why did he need gold coins? Wasn’t it just buying supplies?

Therefore, things were simple. One could hundreds of millions of coins to the big boss, but the big boss would not appreciate it.

However, the boss would be pleased if one gave them 50 kg of rations every month!

Then, the shareholders of United Agriculture at home began to divide their tasks.

The old masters of the Li and Shen families were the big shots in charge of the district and county departments.

The big shots of the city and county governments were handed over to Zhang Yewen, the city’s secretary.

The others did what they were supposed to do, especially Lin Zhendong, the major shareholder. They just had to study for the exams obediently.

In any case, he didn’t even need to meet them. He only needed to sign the agreement and split the shares.
