Chapter 111: Leaders Have All Arrived

Some villagers below heard about the free small villas and started discussing it again. At the same time, someone raised a question, "Village Chief, you said you're going to build a free small villa for each household. Does that mean you're going to take over our existing houses?"

Upon hearing the question, Wu Sancai immediately responded, "Of course, I just mentioned that Wu Hao's company is going to invest in building a tourism resort that covers the entire village. Our old houses and all the land are naturally included!"

Upon hearing this explanation, some of the more knowledgeable villagers also understood, "I see. Building these small villas is meant to replace our old houses. I just wonder what these small villas will look like."

In fact, the villagers' concerns were quite normal, as there are often reports in the news about developers taking over land and either providing low compensation or delivering houses with various issues.

However, Wu Hao is not like those unscrupulous developers. His investment in developing his hometown is driven by the desire to help the villagers prosper. Although he cannot make everyone a wealthy household, achieving a moderately prosperous lifestyle for most families is definitely possible.

In Wu Hao's current village, except for a few households with savings exceeding 100,000, the rest mostly live in ordinary cottages. Some even inhabit houses built several decades ago.

Without discussing other households, just looking at the previous situation in Wu Hao's family can give an idea of the village's overall economic condition.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

After the Q&A session between Wu Sancai and the villagers concluded, the villagers returned to their homes with a mixture of half-belief and some happiness.

Although Wu Sancai informed them about the development of the entire village, they could not fully believe his words until they received tangible benefits. Today, Wu Hao did not personally appear when the announcement was made; it was only a brief explanation by Wu Sancai. Perhaps when Wu Hao and relevant leaders from the town and city personally visit the village, the villagers will completely believe.

Moreover, a big project is equivalent to a significant political achievement. Faced with such a politically advantageous situation, the top leaders of the city naturally wouldn't stand idly by. Therefore, the simultaneous appearance of the top two leaders from the city was not surprising.

Because the meeting room in the town government was not large, besides Wu Hao, the representative of the investor, Wu Sancai, and several key leaders from the city, other people, including Zhang Youwei and Zhou Hongtao from the town, could only stand aside and listen.

After a brief introduction, Wu Hao didn't indulge in bureaucratic language with these leaders but directly got into the topic, discussing the specific investment plan.

The entire discussion meeting lasted for a full hour before concluding successfully. The efficiency of the meeting was largely due to Wu Hao's direct focus on the main topics without unnecessary verbosity.

The leaders from the city were already in a mindset of giving the project a green light all the way, so many troubles were naturally avoided during the discussion of various details and plans.

However, when it came to issues regarding land leasing prices and financial matters, these leaders became more serious.

Regarding Wu Hao leasing all the land in the entire Sanxi Village, they reached the highest level of authority according to national policies. This meant a complete lease of the entire 13,230 acres of land with an 80-year usage right. The leasing cost was set at an average of 450 yuan per acre per year, paid every 10 years. Additionally, at each payment period, the government would adjust the leasing price based on the current land leasing rates.

In other words, during the initial leasing period of these 13,230 acres, Wu Hao would need to pay nearly 6 million yuan annually in land leasing fees to the government. If paid every 10 years, he would have to pay the government 60 million yuan at the beginning of the contract.

As for the previous contract for the mountainous land that Wu Hao had leased in the village, it was canceled during the negotiation and incorporated into the new contract. The earlier leasing price for the mountainous land was only 200 yuan per acre. Still, since the village also had several thousand acres of arable land, the new price of 450 yuan per acre was a comprehensive rate.
