Chapter 113: Demolition Compensation
The next morning, after providing the detailed compensation plan for land and houses to Wu Sancai, Wu Hao drove to the city.
Wu Sancai didn't delay upon receiving Wu Hao's detailed compensation plan. He immediately summoned the villagers from all households to the village committee to discuss specific compensation matters.
The villagers had been discussing this matter for the past few days. Those who were initially skeptical became completely convinced after witnessing a group of leaders from the city conducting on-site inspections yesterday. Therefore, when they received Wu Sancai's notification today, these villagers were much more active. After all, it concerned the interests of everyone.
"Everyone, quiet down. I believe you all have guessed the purpose of my gathering. Yes, today's meeting is to discuss the specific compensation for the land acquisition."
"Firstly, let me briefly explain the land compensation plan that 'Eastern Galaxy Investment Company' and the city government jointly discussed. After you've heard it, if you have any questions, feel free to raise your hand and speak." Wu Sancai called for silence and then began explaining.
"Villagers, please go ahead and speak!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
Wu Sancai, hearing the voice from below, smiled slightly and continued, "This time, 'Eastern Galaxy Investment Company' and the city government have proposed two main compensation plans for acquiring our village's existing land. The first plan is for Eastern Galaxy Company to make a one-time payment to each of you as compensation. The specific compensation is based on a price of 50,000 RMB per mu. The second plan is to pay each of you an annual leasing fee of 500 RMB per mu, with a contract period of 80 years."
"In addition to the land compensation, Eastern Galaxy Investment Company has also offered two types of compensation for the acquisition of houses. The first is for Eastern Galaxy Company to fund the construction of a villa for each household in our village, with an area of over 200 square meters. This includes furniture, decorations, and other necessary items. In other words, you won't need to purchase anything, and you can move in directly once the new houses are built."
"Village head, I have no objections to this compensation. My family is willing to receive a one-time land compensation." After a clamor of discussions, someone immediately took the initiative to express their stance.
"Village head, my family is also willing! There's no need to say more. The company where Wu Hao works must have negotiated all this compensation and relocation funds for our village. If faced with such conditions, and we don't agree, it would be a lack of conscience."
"Yeah! Wu Hao, this young man, has done a lot for our village. Not only did he contribute money for road construction last year, but he also often helps us in various ways. I'm willing too!"
After the first person came forward to express their opinion, many others immediately followed suit. After all, the villagers present were not overly greedy individuals. Clearly, Wu Hao's compensation proposals were much higher than standard rates. If they were not satisfied with these offers, it would seem excessively greedy.
Moreover, Wu Hao's family has maintained good relations with the various households in the village. Since Wu Hao became prosperous last year, he has contributed money for road construction and undertaken various tasks for the village. These actions have been well-regarded by the villagers.
Although many people have harbored envy and jealousy towards Wu Hao's wealthy family, upon hearing about the substantial compensation, most of them set aside their previous feelings.
However, with over a hundred households, it's impossible for everyone to maintain their conscience when it comes to money and interests. Therefore, a few households still wish to increase the compensation.
As the majority had already expressed their agreement, the few dissenting households did not immediately voice their dissatisfaction. They remained silent and observed the situation.
"Alright, everyone, please quiet down. Since you all understand that the generous compensation from the East Galaxy Company is entirely due to Wu Hao, and you are all cooperating actively, let's proceed orderly. Form a line and come to me one by one for registration. Please be mindful not to create chaos."
