【Chapter 182】 The negotiation process
Liu Rui's efficiency was very high, and after discussing their respective division of labor, they immediately took action.
Although Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan were a little reluctant to the beautiful scenery of Liang Village, they still returned to the county seat and the provincial capital respectively and began to prepare for the next reconstruction plan of the grain station. For the two of them, if they want to enjoy the beauty of Xiaojing Lake as soon as possible, they have to speed up the pace of progress.
Zeng Ying and the others returned to the city, and Liu Rui also began to enter the role, and began to negotiate with the Liangcun Village Committee in a tug-of-war manner, striving to agree on the terms of the contract as soon as possible.
Previously, at the bidding ceremony, Liu Rui only announced the approximate investment amount and proportion of their bids, but the details of the cooperation with the Liangcun Village Committee had to be negotiated in detail.
Not to mention anything else, take the road from the village to the grain station, for example, it is still a potholed machine farming road, and in any case, it will not meet the needs of the grain station in the future. However, whether Liu Rui and his team funded the transformation of the more than 500-meter road into a cement road or the Liangcun Village Committee funded this is the focus of contention between the two sides.
Also, from the fence in the backyard of the grain station to the lake edge of Xiaojing Lake, there are dozens of acres of wasteland, should these wastelands be allocated to the grain station for free, or do they need Liu Rui and their additional rent to obtain the right to operate and use these wastelands?
With these urgent problems to be solved, Liu Rui turned into a negotiator in a blink of an eye and conducted formal negotiations with the Liangcun Village Committee.
On Liu Rui's side, in addition to Liu Rui as a negotiator, there are also Guo Hailan's two assistants who stayed in Liangcun to assist Liu Rui in his work, Li Chen and Lin Huanan. The main negotiations need to be coordinated by Liu Rui and Liang Cun, but some trivial and specific matters need to be handled by Li Chen and Lin Huanan.
Seeing off Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan, Liu Rui took Li Chen and the others to the village committee and began formal negotiations with Liang Village. In the past, Liu Rui had come to the Liangcun Village Committee countless times, and this Russian style left too many memories for Liu Rui. If it weren't for the Shennong space, Liu Rui would almost have walked into this building under the guidance of Wang Huaguo, and gradually grew into the helmsman of Liang Village, leading thousands of people in Liang Village to embark on the road to prosperity.
However, it is difficult for anyone to say clearly the circumstances of life, and perhaps a small opportunity will make people's fate change 180 degrees.
In the past, Liu Rui walked into this building and probably had a feeling of host, but today it is purely a guest and an opponent, and this emotional contrast makes Liu Rui feel very wonderful.
Wang Huaguo, who was standing on the steps of the village committee, watched Liu Rui come over with two assistants, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xiao Rui, what about Mr. Zeng and Mr. Guo?" Wang Huaguo looked at Liu Rui and saw that there were no two of them behind him, and asked.
Don't look at Liu Rui, Zeng Ying, and Guo Hailan, they have a good relationship, and their names are more casual, but in the eyes of others, the two of them are big bosses from the city. Sometimes, money and power can always make a person's image high. Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan first purchased a large number of bamboo handicrafts in Liang Village, which became a big fortune in the eyes of many villagers, and their impression was naturally very good.
This time, Zeng Ying and her sisters are about to invest millions in the grain station, no matter where the money comes from, it does not prevent the villagers of Liang Village from respecting them. After all, millionaires are always capable of having awesome charm these days. Therefore, even Wang Huaguo calls Zeng Ying and them the boss.
"Mr. Zeng, they will return to the city to go through some formalities, and the negotiation will be left to me!" Liu Rui smiled slightly and walked up the steps.
"You're going to negotiate?" At this moment, the stunned expression on Wang Huaguo's face became more and more obvious.
The agreement between Liu Rui and Zeng Ying and others has not been announced to the public, and Wang Huaguo will not think that Liu Rui has the capital to participate in Zeng Ying's decision-making. Even if Liu Rui took Zeng Ying and them to run before and after this time, most people in Liang Village thought that Liu Rui was just an errand, how could he become one of the major shareholders?
As for the Zhang family, they will not shout all over the world that they have hundreds of thousands of huge sums of money, after all, this money is too conspicuous and there is no need to cause undue trouble.
Originally, Wang Huaguo thought that Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan would come forward to participate in the negotiation process, but he didn't expect that it would be Liu Rui who was the main force.
Wang Huaguo originally wanted to take advantage of their weakness that they were not very familiar with the situation in Liangcun to fight for more benefits for Liangcun, but if they became Liu Rui, who knew the roots, it would really not be easy to do.
"That's right, thanks to Mr. Zeng, they can afford to let me participate in the new company and become a minority shareholder, so the negotiation with the village will be handed over to me." The smile on Liu Rui's face was still the same, and he half-truthfully said the reason.
"That's fine, anyway, you know the situation in the village, but you have a lot of reflection!" So far, Wang Huaguo can only say this.
Originally, the Liangcun Village Committee presided over the negotiation of Zhang Zhenguang and Wang Huaguo, but Zhang Zhenguang, who knew Liu Rui's details, took the initiative to withdraw from the negotiation in order to avoid suspicion, leaving Wang Huaguo to preside over the overall situation. On the side of Liang Village, Wang Huaguo and Wang Jun, together with the cadres of the village committee and some old representatives, basically represent the will of most of the villagers in Liang Village. Once they had made their decision, there were probably very few villagers who objected.
As for Liu Rui, he has already communicated with Zeng Ying and others about some of the bottom lines of the negotiation, plus he is one of the major shareholders, so he can still call the shots. After the results of the negotiation came out, he discussed with Zeng Ying and the others, and after some fine-tuning, he could officially sign the contract.
Liu Rui, who walked into the meeting room of the village committee with Wang Huaguo, was full of emotion, he really didn't expect to appear here in such an identity before. However, when Liu Rui sat down at the conference table and looked at Wang Huaguo in front of him, all kinds of distractions in his heart were immediately dispelled, and only the focus of this negotiation remained.
The other negotiators in the conference room were also stunned when they saw Liu Rui as their negotiator, their mouths opened so wide that they could almost stuff an egg into it. After listening to Liu Rui's half-truthful explanation, they were all a little envious of Liu Rui, who was able to get in touch with the big boss in the city and became their right-hand man. Although I don't know the salary that Liu Rui pays to the big boss in the city, it does not prevent the villagers from making some guesses in their hearts.
After messing around for a while, Wang Huaguo finally suppressed everyone's discussions, and after a brief opening remarks, he announced the official start of negotiations.
The location of the grain station forms an isosceles triangle with the upper and lower Liang villages, and the distance from the road in the middle of Liang Village to the grain station is about 500 meters, and this road is the focus of today's contention between the two sides.
"This road has been measured by us, a total of 560 meters, but it is still a dilapidated machine plow road, which is not suitable for future needs, so we need the village committee to build a cement road to the grain station before we rebuild it!" After the negotiation began, Liu Rui quickly entered the state, speaking completely from the company's standpoint, completely ignoring the uncles and brothers on the field.
"If this road is converted into a cement road, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan, and this huge amount of money is simply not something that the village committee can afford." Wang Huaguo knew that Liu Rui's request was reasonable, but he still had to cry poor and try his best to fight for the benefits of the village.
According to the data of the bidding results, Zeng Ying and her sisters invested 1 million and got 80% of the shares of the grain station, which means that the value of the shares owned by the village committee is close to 250,000 yuan. But this money is a fixed asset, and the village committee cannot sell it, nor will it sell it, it can only be wealth on paper.
Although Wang Huaguo has high confidence in the development of tourism in Liangcun, this does not ensure that Zeng Ying and his wife will be able to transform the grain station into a hen that can lay golden eggs. I don't know when the grain station will be profitable after it opens to the outside world, and the corresponding dividends will be paid to the village committee? If we invest heavily in the infrastructure around the grain station when the future is not very clear, and the grain station will not succeed in the future, will it not be throwing money into the water?
For this reason, Wang Huaguo is very reluctant to invest in the reconstruction of this road.
"Old branch secretary, our interests are tied together!" Liu Rui was not surprised by Wang Huaguo's reaction, after all, no one is likely to take out the money easily, he continued to smile and said: "Only when the village faces the surrounding environment and transforms accordingly to attract more tourists to come for vacation, then the grain station can make a profit as soon as possible, and the village committee can also get dividends." ”
To be honest, Liu Rui's words are still very convincing, Wang Huaguo can only praise in his heart, Liu Rui really grasped the core of the problem. If the village committee leased the grain station to Zeng Ying and them, I am afraid there would be no such trouble. Once the village committee has no shares, Zeng Ying and her sisters can only take the initiative to build this road for their own interests. But now, for the sake of long-term interests, it seems that the village committee has to give up more immediate benefits.
"As you said, our interests are one, since we are going to build a road, let's share it according to the proportion of the shares of both parties!" Wang Huaguo is also old and refined, and he immediately grabbed Liu Rui's words and began to put forward his true intentions!
If it is apportioned according to the proportion of the shares of the two parties, the village committee will only have to contribute 20,000 yuan, and the saved funds can be used for many things.
"This road is not within the scope of the grain station, how can we share this money?" Liu Rui shook his head, still not daring to agree to Wang Huaguo's suggestion easily.
In this way, Liu Rui and the members of the village committee had a heated discussion about the amount that both sides needed to pay, and the whole conference room began to become much more lively.
………… After fierce debate, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and Liu Rui invested another 50,000 yuan to sponsor the Liangcun Village Committee to rebuild the road of the specified scale and quality. The village committee is in charge of labor, construction and other work, and will start construction soon, and strive to complete and open to traffic when the grain station is under large-scale construction. However, as compensation, hundreds of acres of wasteland near the grain station near the lake were also included in the assets of the grain station without compensation, and Zeng Ying and her family did not need to pay the price.
For this result, Liu Rui and Wang Huaguo are quite satisfied.
At the beginning, Liu Rui did not have the idea of letting the village committee contribute to the reconstruction of the road, and even Zeng Ying's bottom line was to contribute according to the proportion of shares. Now that he has 30,000 yuan left, he can get the wasteland by the lake for free, without increasing the shares of the village committee, which makes Liu Rui very happy.
Wang Huaguo and the rest of Liang Village were also extremely happy about the 50,000 yuan that was almost for nothing. In their opinion, although Liu Rui negotiated with the village on behalf of others, he still missed the old feelings and was not a white-eyed wolf. As for the wasteland by the lake, where has it been placed for many years, the pebbles everywhere are not suitable for farming, and no one has planted trees on it, if Liu Rui hadn't mentioned it, no villagers would have thought of it at all. Using this land to exchange for 50,000 yuan makes the villagers feel that it is very cost-effective, besides, this land is not all given to Zeng Ying and them, it is returned to the grain station, and the village committee still owns 20% of the shares?
"Xiao Rui, can you always agree to such conditions? Don't you have to be embarrassed?! Hearing that Liu Rui agreed to this condition, Wang Huaguo was a little worried while being happy.
If Liu Rui promised well now, in the end he has no real power, and Zeng Ying wants to change his hexagram when he signs the contract, wouldn't it be a little embarrassing?
"Don't worry, I have obtained the authorization of Mr. Zeng and Mr. Guo, and the Lord can still do this!" Liu Rui knew what Wang Huaguo was worried about, nodded and said.
"That's good!" Seeing that Liu Rui didn't seem to be supporting the scene, Wang Huaguo was relieved.
After the most important road issues were resolved, the focus of the dispute quickly shifted to other issues.
First of all, when the grain station is rebuilt, it will definitely need a lot of building materials such as sand, earth and stone, and bricks. In order to save costs, it must be purchased on the spot, but Liu Rui hopes that the village committee can come forward to communicate with those material suppliers and try to buy them at a preferential price.
The price of building materials is also related to the interests of the village committee, and this issue did not cause too many objections, and Liang Cun quickly agreed to Liu Rui's suggestion.
Next, whether it was the supply of water and electricity or the supply of ingredients, the two sides reached an agreement in friendly and warm discussions. Because the village committee occupies one-fifth of the shares in the grain station, it is also in the interest of the village committee to save as many costs as possible, so the differences between the two sides on these issues are not very large.
However, there was a fierce debate between the two sides over the question of recruiting waiters and workers of various trades into the future recreational farm jobs.
Wang Huaguo and the representatives of Liangcun insisted that after the establishment of the leisure farm, one-third of the grassroots employees should be recruited from the local people of Liangcun, and that they should not be dismissed at will.
"Wang Zhishu, now that we have entered the 21st century, it is no longer the era of iron rice bowls in the sixties and seventies!" On this issue, Liu Rui really can't give in easily, otherwise the operation of the leisure farm will become a problem in the future. Liu Rui knew that his performance would make some villagers feel a little bit of a pickpocket, but it was in his own interests, and Liu Rui couldn't take care of it so much.
"After the opening of the leisure farm, it will definitely need to recruit a large number of waiters, handymen, security guards, plumbers and so on, that's for sure." Liu Rui said while considering the words in his heart: "We can only guarantee that under the same conditions, we can recruit locals from Liangcun, as for other conditions, we still need to meet the requirements of the leisure farm!" ”
"That's all there is to this question, but it's best to write this promise into the contract" Wang Huaguo thought about it and found that what Liu Rui said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.
In fact, for Liu Rui, being able to recruit locals in Liangcun as much as possible has a more positive effect on binding the interests of Liangcun. After all, as more and more people in the village work in the leisure farm, the interests of the leisure farm are inextricably linked with the families in Liang Village. If the business of the leisure farm is good and the profit is high, the income of the villagers will be higher, and the support for the leisure farm will be greater, which is a good surname cycle.
However, Liu Rui didn't want to talk too much, lest he couldn't do it when he got it, but instead ended up complaining. Now there is room for the promise to be attacked, retreated and defended when the recreational farm opens.
Another important topic of the negotiation is the distribution plan of dividends after future profits, which is the core issue of this negotiation. The previous problems are all in the service of this issue, and only after solving all kinds of problems can the leisure farm be profitable and have dividends.

According to Wang Huaguo's idea, after the leisure farm is profitable, it should realize dividends as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the hearts of the villagers!
