Looking at the well-behaved Lulu, Grandma Bai has a dead heart, this child is really pitiful, although she loves Gao Zhan deeply, although she wants to go with him, but her kindness and her emotions make her unable to abandon her as a grandmother, Gao Zhan can still live well without her, but Grandma Bai can't live a day without her.

Originally, Grandma Bai came over to inquire about the situation, but now, she doesn't care about other things anymore, and no matter what happens, she can't blame others.

Looking at Grandma Bai's worried face, Lulu sighed and said, "Grandma, I heard what the black girl said, you don't have to expect anything, this time, the village is over, and no one can save them." ”

With a long sigh, Grandma Bai gently touched Bai Lu's hair, shook her head and said, "No matter, grandma doesn't have the heart to care anymore, we have done enough, whether it is a blessing or a curse, they will fight it themselves." While speaking, Grandma Bai stood up and walked out of the room lonely.

At the same time, the courtyard of the five heads of the family was full of people, and everyone asked for a clear answer, how is the business, when can you get the money, not to mention how much you earn, you must always repay the money you borrowed, right?

In the face of the surging crowd, the five masters closed their doors and did not give any answer, but the more this is the case, the more angry everyone becomes, how can they ...... We've invested all our money, and now we can't make an explanation?

The most atmospheric thing is that from the mouths of the 20 young people who returned to the village, they heard that they were called a luxury, and when they went, they went by plane, lived in high-end hotels, ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, called a scenery, that called a bright one, and ...... They're taking everyone's hard-earned money out to pretend to be big, right?

After being blocked for three days, the five masters had to come forward to reassure everyone, saying that the situation in the city had improved, and there would be benefits soon.

The so-called pressed the gourd and got up the scoop, and the villagers had just settled down their emotions, and there was a call from Changzhou, and there was no money over there, so hurry up and call over.

Hearing this news, the five masters were immediately stupid, when they left, they still left a lot of money, why was it gone so quickly? Something is wrong!

After asking, the other side suddenly began to complain, the tax is not to pay, but this fee and that fee, this additional and that surcharge, a lot of money have to be paid a month, and eight people, every day to spend money, now everyone can no longer afford to live in a hotel, at night they all gather on the ground of the tea house to lay on the floor, but the meal always has to eat, right? Eight people have to eat more than 300 people a day.

The most important thing is that people work there, they can't work in vain, right? As I said in advance, the monthly salary is 3,000 yuan! Now people say that if you don't send 3000, you can do it, at least 2000, right?

The people who stay in the store are people who have been working in the field for a long time, relying on their efforts, there is an income of nearly 2,000 yuan a month, everyone still wants to marry a daughter-in-law, you can't send 3000, but 2000 must be sent, otherwise there will be no one to serve you, now this society, is a market economy, you give money to do it for you, don't give money to worship you.

Now, those eight people have already spoken, if they can't even send two thousand, then it's better to let the village send someone quickly, don't delay them to earn money.

The salary of eight people, calculated at 2,000 yuan per person, will cost 16,000 yuan, and other expenses will cost about 5,000 yuan a month, and these two items alone will cost at least 20,000 yuan to settle down.

Moreover, the warehouse rented at that time is now due, and I thought that as soon as it opened, the tea would be robbed in a few days, so the warehouse was only rented for a quarter, and now the time is about to come, if you continue to rent, you have to pay quickly, and the rent for a month is 30,000 yuan!

Basically, if you want the store to continue to persevere, within a week, you must pay at least 50,000 yuan for state affairs, otherwise the tea will be cleared to the avenue, and people will run out.

To make matters worse, I haven't done business before, no one knows the knowledge here, if the 20,000 catties of tea are really cleared on the road and drenched by the rain, it will really be over.

Moreover, if the salary in the store is not paid, then everyone will not wait, and they have been working there for three months, and they have been paid in the first two months, and the third month's salary must be paid.

But now the question is, where to get 50,000 yuan? Not long ago, the 50,000 yuan that everyone said was a small amount of money, and they couldn't buy candy for their grandson to eat, but now, when everyone needs 50,000 yuan to save their lives, they can't make it up at all. Not to mention 50,000, you can't even make up 5,000!

In a week's time, I couldn't make up 50,000 yuan, then everything was over, helplessly, how could the five masters still take care of their faces, and they went separately to the families in the village who were relatively rich, and rushed to the families who were not involved in this matter this time, and wanted to make up 50,000 yuan, which was the last hope.

The five masters personally came to borrow it, for the people in the village, it is impossible to refuse, how much you have to borrow, it can't be too little, the five elders turned around and successfully borrowed 20,000 yuan, but there is still a difference of 30,000!

In desperation, the five elders went separately, respectively to Hu Zi's house, Li Zhishu's house, and Grandma Bai's house, in the face of such a thing, Li Zhishu didn't say anything, directly took out the passbook, and borrowed all the more than 12,000 yuan saved over the years, Hu Zi didn't say anything, and directly took 8,000 yuan to him.

As for Grandma Bai, she did not hesitate to lend out the 18,000 yuan that Gao Zhan had given her one after another, knowing that she would pay for it, but Grandma Bai couldn't say a word!

After borrowing it in a circle, the five masters knew that this was the last money in the village, and they had collected a total of 60,000 yuan, and the only thing they could do now was to pray, praying that the business would improve.

Not to mention, the 60,000 hit, the next day came the good news, in the morning, actually successfully sold a tube of tea, learned the news, the five masters suddenly came to the spirit, since there is the first tube, there is naturally a second tube, continue to develop, after all, it will cause a sales frenzy.

The idea is wonderful, but after the first tube of tea is sold, although the second tube of tea is sold again, the interval between the two tubes of tea is a full twelve days! Two tubes of tea in half a month, this is the reality!

Seeing that the end of the month was approaching again, Bai Qianshan, who was stationed in the store, had no choice but to call back to the village again, wanting to continue to support it, and call at least 50,000 more, otherwise everything would be over by the end of the month.

Hearing this news, several old men felt black in front of them on the spot, this is simply a bottomless pit, how can they not fill it, 50,000 yuan, you can still hear the sound when you throw it in the water, just hit it like this, there is no reaction at all, just gone?

Another 50,000, this may be a surname is really not big, until now, everyone gave up unrealistic illusions, convened a meeting, everyone unanimously passed the resolution, tea must be reduced, a little earn!

The cost price, everyone calculates it, about 1300, in this case, it is okay to earn 700 a catty, the price has dropped from 3000 to 2000, the price reduction is so large, everyone has to go crazy?

The idea is beautiful, the truth is cruel, just imagine...... The original 3,000 yuan was suddenly reduced to 2,000, how much profit do you have here? It's too dark, isn't it?

Moreover, for ordinary people, there is no difference between 2000 and 3000, they can't afford it anyway, and for those who can afford it, who would dare to buy it if you reduce the price so drastically? Have you ever heard of such an exaggerated price reduction in Longjing? Don't be a fake, right?

In the next half month, the price of tea fell again and again, 1900, 1800, 1700...... In the end, we don't want anything else, the cost price sales assembly, right?

But the cost price is sold, but still no one buys it, 1300 pounds of tea, and it is inexplicable, something that has never been heard of, who buys it! Although two tubes were sold on the day it was reduced to 1300, it was a drop in the bucket and to no avail.

Seeing that the time is coming, the wages and warehouses are about to be renewed, and the time is already in April, the people in the village are gone, and the whole village of more than 400 people is all around the house of the five masters.

A family of more than 50,000 yuan of fresh leaf money, more than 5,000 yuan of cash loans, borrow one and repay two, then you have to give 10,000, a total of 60,000 yuan, take it out quickly, all written notes, according to the handprint, now the agreed time has passed, and if you don't take the money, it will be difficult to speak.

Faced with this situation, the five major families are stupid, and now the store can't run if there is no money, and they want to make up another 50,000! No kidding, now everyone wants money, not to lend you money, and agreed to settle at this time, but not only do they have no money now, but they still need to continue to raise money!

By now, the five masters know that they can't continue to hide it, and if they continue to hide it, it will really happen, and no one can take this responsibility, even if they all commit suicide and apologize, they can't calm everyone's anger and solve any problems.

In desperation, the five masters stood up together and truthfully explained the situation to everyone, when all the villagers heard about 20,000 catties of tea, now only sold less than 30 catties! Everyone is stupid!

50,000 yuan of fresh leaf money? Don't dream, what everyone is most worried about now is the 5,000 yuan cash loan that has been accumulated over the past few decades, if that is gone, then no one will see them crying!

Although in the ravine, there are not many places to use money, but fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, ...... These are all for money, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, these are also to be bought, if the money can't come back, then what do you eat?

In the face of this, the whole village held a plenary meeting, presided over by the five masters, discussed this issue, after discussion, everyone finally came up with an opinion, on the basis of 1300 pounds, the price was reduced thirteen times in an instant, 100 yuan a pound was sold, 20,000 pounds, it can be sold for 2 million yuan, at least get everyone's hard-earned money back, otherwise everyone really can't live.

After receiving the news, a huge notice was posted in the tea shop in Changzhou, the new daughter-in-law tea of the Bai family was only sold for 100 yuan per catty.

But I never thought that just two days after the advertisement was hung, it caused trouble, the tea shop was directly revoked business license, the tea was detained, and the owner Bai Qianshan was arrested and fined 1 million yuan!

After receiving this news, everyone in Baijia Village was stupid, this time ...... is not only a matter of losing all his money, but also carrying a fine of one million, if he doesn't pay it all, Bai Qianshan is afraid that he will go to prison, and the years will not be short.

Everyone didn't understand what was going on, why was the business license suddenly revoked, and fined, a detailed inquiry, everyone wanted to cry without tears, the reason why this is the case, the reason is in their indiscriminate price reduction!

The original 3,000 pounds of tea can be reduced to 100 yuan a pound, a 30-fold price reduction, what do they think of the market? Sell as much as you want? Then what else do you need the Price Bureau to do!

Gao Zhan is different, there is Li Qian, the big Buddha, who dares to come here to check, basically as if there is no store here, how to open how to open, no one dares to care if you are full. And Gao Zhan did not reduce the price.

Now pay attention to a harmonious society, the people do not raise officials and do not investigate, Baijia Village is unlucky this time, a guy who spent 3,000 to buy tea here, unexpectedly found that the tea here has been reduced to 100 pounds, buy a tube and go home to compare, exactly the same, this is angry.

Can afford to enjoy 3,001 catties of tea, which one is simple? In a fit of rage, a phone call was made to the Price Bureau, and someone sent someone to investigate a little, and the ...... "Provisions on Administrative Punishment of Price Violations" was committed! And the report is still a deputy director, so what happened next, do you need to talk about it?

All the goods were detained, the business license was revoked, Bai Qianshan was arrested, and he was fined one million, the clerks ran out, and the five news, like five thunderbolts, hit Baijia Village heavily, and no one could come up with a single idea.

At the same time that Baijiacun seemed to enter the end of the world, through the election of the congress, Li Guodong officially served as the secretary of the provincial party committee, and at the moment when Li Guodong officially became the secretary of the provincial party committee, he also became a member of the Politburo and became one of the figures standing at the pinnacle of national power.

At the same time, Li Mingzhe's work transfer has also ended, and he officially served as the director of the Propaganda Department and the General Division of the Provincial Party Committee! The level is in the right position, and he has officially stepped into a new job.

At the same time, under the name of Gao Zhan, ten real estate projects in major provincial cities were also officially completed, and after two or three months of construction, ten sets of real estate were successfully completed!

In each office, near the main road, there are three eighteen-storey towers, and between the towers, there are two twelve-storey towers, three in the front and two in the back, and then ...... It is a neat row of six-story luxury office buildings!

Next, Gao Zhan used these ten sets of real estate as collateral, continued to borrow from the bank, acquired ten offices again, the construction company has begun to demolish, and two months later, another ten real estate projects will rise at the same time.

Located in the center of the provincial capital, such a building, Gao Zhan will never sell, major enterprise manufacturers, major companies flocked to it, almost squeezed out of the head, twenty sets of real estate were quickly rented out, ten of which are still pre-rented, although it is not as fast as selling to make money, but such real estate, at all, money can not be measured, just a surname to pay the rent, it is enough for Gao Zhan to buy the remaining fourteen offices.

Looking at the stack of legal documents in his hand, Gao Zhan's mouth was happy to close, distributed in thirty-four provincial towns, municipalities directly under the central government, and thirty-four offices in the self-made area, the area is very large, there are three eighteen-story buildings, two twelve-story buildings, thirty six-story buildings, and a huge area of comprehensive surname auxiliary buildings, a total of thirty-six buildings!

According to calculations, 34 sets of real estate, the annual rent, about 3 billion, the lease period is three years, that is, 90 billion, plus the initial investment of 3 billion, now Gao Zhan has repaid all the loans, through capital operation, only 3 billion yuan has been invested, and 34 sets of real estate in the center of the provincial city have been obtained.

In three months, Gao Zhan raised about 6 billion yuan to purchase the Tengfei Iron and Steel Plant, as well as 34 offices in various provincial capitals, and used the assembly building technology to transform into office buildings.

Now, all the funds in Gao Zhan's hands are basically empty, only tens of millions, but his assets are amazing, constantly looking at the information in his hand, Gao Zhan can't keep his mouth shut no matter what.

The value of the golf course plus 150 villas is about 4 billion, the value of Hualong Garment Factory and the surrounding stores is also about 4 billion, and the value of Tengfei Iron and Steel Factory is at least 4 billion due to the technology and patents of the assembled building, followed by the newly established Gao's real estate company, plus the 34 sets of real estate, which are worth more than 15 billion! Finally, there is Lu Ying Clothing, which has the lowest value, but the development potential is huge, and it will inevitably be a super company worth billions in the future.

"Holy!" After roughly calculating, Gao Zhan's mouth opened even more, his net worth is close to 30 billion, this is too exaggerated, if you spend 100 million a day, it can take nearly a year!

Seeing Gao Zhan Lecheng like this, Xu Xu walked over and said curiously: "Brother Zhan, what is it that makes you happy like this?" ”

Gently put away the legal documents on the table, although he really wanted to find someone to share them, but unless his brain was broken, otherwise, he would not tell his net worth to permission anyway, except for Gao Zhan, Li Qian, and Lu Ying, no one else needed to know.

Standing up and locking a group of documents into the safe, Gao Zhan finally put his mind at ease, the safe is custom-made, and how many layers of insulation are added, even if the building is on fire, it can't burn the contents inside.

Of course, although it is safe here, Gao Zhan still won't put things here for a long time, after a few days, after the remaining procedures are completed, he will take it to the bank and rent a safe to store it, which is the safest, after all...... No matter how advanced the safe is, it can't stop the thief.

After saving the documents, Gao Zhan just returned to the computer desk, the phone rang, took the phone and saw that it was Li Mingzhe, the kid, as soon as the phone was connected, Li Mingzhe laughed and said, "Where is it?" Remember to bring your younger siblings over tonight, hehe...... Celebrate tonight, after all...... You're the biggest hero! ”

"Khan ......" scratched his scalp, and said with a smile: "Come on, what kind of hero is not a hero, but ...... Today is indeed a double happiness, it is indeed time to celebrate, and I will be on time in the evening. ”

After a brief chat with Lee Ming-che for a while, he quickly hung up, after all, ...... Lee Ming-che had just arrived in a new place to preside over the work, and he had to seize the time to familiarize himself with the work.

Just hung up Li Mingzhe's phone, Gao Zhan was just about to call Lu Ying, the phone rang again, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Hu Zi calling.

For the beard, Gao Zhan is absolutely a friend, nothing else, just when he was in Gao Zhan's most difficult time, he still recognized him and still stood on his side, which was enough for Gao Zhan to remember for a lifetime.

Hurriedly connected the phone, Gao Zhan smiled and said, "It's Uncle Hu, what's the matter...... How are things going lately? ”

"Hey......" let out a long sigh, his beard trembling, "It's over...... This time it's all over. ”

"Finished? What's going on...... What the hell is going on! Hearing Hu Zi's words, Gao Zhan stood up violently and said eagerly.

Facing Gao Zhan's questioning, Hu Zi said desperately: "Something happened to the tea house, and now ...... The business license of the tea house was revoked, all the tea was sealed, and the legal representative Bai Qianshan was also arrested and fined one million! ”

"What! How...... How so? Hearing this, Gao Zhan was stupid, even he didn't expect it to be like this in advance, he just thought that the tea would just not sell.

In the face of Gao Zhan's doubts, Hu Zi explained in detail, when Gao Zhan heard that within a month, the price of tea dropped directly from three or four thousand pounds to one hundred and one pounds, and suddenly his eyes were dark, this is too fucking talented, you set the price high, in fact, the problem is not big, there is a relationship to rely on, it doesn't matter to give some gifts, you can do it, but within a month, the price is reduced by thirty times, it is too exaggerated, once it is guaranteed, it will be a tragedy in an instant.

Speechless, Hu Zi continued: "In order to keep the store open, the last penny in the village has been scraped away, even the eight thousand yuan I saved, the money saved by Li Zhishu and Grandma Bai, have also been handed over, and now they are all in, and everyone now has no money to buy fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds." ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Gao Zhan said with a wry smile: "Didn't I tell you, this matter must not be mixed in, whoever goes in will die, you!" ”

Hearing Gao Zhan's words, the beard sighed and said: "It's easy for you to say, if you don't borrow money at that time, the store will immediately be unable to sustain, once the business is yellow because of my slamming the door, then you can't be beaten to death by the angry villagers in the village?" ”

......Hearing this, Gao Zhan had to admit that what Beard said was right, in that case, if you have money but don't borrow it, the stakes are too big, once the business is over, all the sins will be recorded on Beard's head, not an exaggeration, Beard may really be hacked.

Hu Zi, Li Zhishu, and Grandma Bai all knew that they would definitely lose, but they had to take out the money, even if the business was yellow, it couldn't be because of them, this is very important.

For the current situation, Gao Zhan couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke, fortunately, his business license was revoked, otherwise, the next thing is to sell livestock and land, which is definitely a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you throw into it, it will not have any effect.

While thinking about it, the beard hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "This...... Gao Zhan, you are from the city, you have more methods, you see...... Can you find someone, ask for the tea, and release Bai Qianshan? ”

"Huh?" Hearing Hu Zi's words, Gao Zhan's eyes couldn't help but widen, what did you say? Not! Definitely not give the wrong illusion to the beard!

After thinking about it, Gao Zhan lowered his voice and continued: "Uncle Huzi, do you know what you are talking about? ”

Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Hu Zi also knew that there was a problem with his words, but this matter really couldn't be solved, and if it wasn't handled well, the entire Baijia Village would be finished.

After a pause, Gao Zhan continued: "Uncle Hu, I, Gao Zhan, have never done anything that violates the law, if you want me to do this, you are ruining me, and ...... Do you really think it's a good idea to get the tea out? Do you think that you should be satisfied with the sale of livestock, cattle, and even houses, wives and children, and all of them? ”

"This ......" Hearing Gao Zhan's words, the beard instantly understood, yes...... What should I do if the tea is going to come out? Keep selling? Then you need money, but where does it come from? Do you want to continue fundraising? But there is no money in the village, so what can I do besides selling houses and land, livestock and grain?

The current situation is that everyone has invested too much, and he is not allowed to fail, as long as there is still a trace of possibility, he will do his best to save it, once the tea is really out, it will be a disaster!

Facts have proved that even if it is only sold for 100 yuan a catty, no one buys it, although it has only been sold for two and a half days, but in two and a half days, only three tubes have been sold, and two of them are bought by the person who reported it.

Even if all three cylinders are calculated, it is only one tube of tea a day, and even if it is all profits, it is only 100 yuan, which is not enough to pay one person's salary, let alone others.

Thinking of this, Hu Zi instantly understood, the tea must not be taken out, just let them rot there, otherwise, the entire Baijia Village will be dragged to hell by those teas, and they will never be able to live forever!

As for Bai Qianshan, there is naturally no need to say it, you owe millions, if you pay the money, you will be free immediately, but if you don't pay the money, you will have to go to jail, millions, and I don't know that you will be in prison for decades.

After thinking about it, Hu Zi suddenly found that his phone call was simply redundant, it was okay if Gao Zhan didn't help, and under the gang, he would only push Baijiacun towards hell, and now this is the best ending, and now this situation is that no one can help, and the more he helps, the more he helps, the more he will get busier.

Gently hung up the phone, Hu Zi sat there speechless, looking out of the window with wooden eyes, for a long time...... The beard let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said: "Heaven can still live for evil, but you can't live for your own evil, retribution!" As he spoke, the beard closed his eyes, and two clear streams flowed down.

Baijia Village was completely shrouded in gloom and misery, and in the face of this catastrophe, everyone lost the ability to think, all the investment was wasted, and they couldn't get a penny back, not to mention, and they were fined one million! It's like a bolt from the blue!

At this moment, the whole village gathered in the new ancestral hall, and the five masters were also invited over, and now, they can't hide anything, and they can't save it, no matter what, they must give everyone an explanation.

More than 200 households in the whole village, four or five hundred people, all gathered in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall, not long ago the five masters who were extremely majestic, all lowered their proud heads, they never thought that the same tea, the same city, the same street, but the gap is so big, others sell three or four thousand, everyone is still rushing to buy, and even if they reduce the price to 100, but still no one cares, what is going on?

After being silent for a long time, a burly man shouted in his thick and loud voice: "The matter has come to this point, should you give everyone an explanation?" This is not anyone's business, this is a major matter that concerns everyone in the village, and it is your business to lose money, but you cannot affect the interests of the whole village because of personal factors. ”

"That's right!" A thin man with a mean face and a slightly crooked mouth said loudly: "According to the rules of Baijia Village, whoever causes trouble will have to give it. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the five old men instantly turned pale, the matter has come here, it is completely impossible to end, if they can apologize for their sins, they would have died a long time ago, but even if they die, the debt will continue to their children and grandchildren, how much money is owed, then how much will be repaid, the father and the son will pay back, and the generations will not stop!

Way? Hand over? They also want to have it, but now where is the way, where is the explanation? To this day, they still don't understand, how can they explain it to everyone?

"A few old men!" An old man in a shabby suit with an elegant face stood up and said in a low voice: "In this village, it's time to start planting spring fields, buy seeds, buy fertilizers, buy pesticides, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar that everyone uses in their daily lives, all of which cost money!" ”

After a pause, the elegant old man continued: "Now, everyone is very embarrassed, many homes are out of oil and salt, do you want everyone to tie their mouths, but it's okay?" ”

"Yes, yes! It is...... Hurry up and pay it back! With the voice of the elegant old man, four or five hundred people in the whole village shouted at the same time, and the atmosphere instantly tightened to the limit.

Frowning, the elegant old man pressed his hand around, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and waited for the voice to calm down a little, then turned his head and continued to say to the five masters: "Now, it is too far to say that the others are too far, the money of Xianye can be put aside for the time being, and the loan you promised to repay one and two can also be put on hold temporarily, but the real money you borrowed from everyone's hands must be repaid anyway, otherwise everyone will not be able to live!" ”

Hearing this, the surrounding feelings are more fragile, especially women, crying loudly, delayed for three or four months, and now many homes have been cut off from oil and salt, and life cannot continue at all, if you don't pay back the money, how can you live!

Listening to the words of the elegant old man, the five masters closed their eyes in pain, regretting it...... I really regret it, I knew this earlier, and I didn't dare to be greedy when I killed them, what should I do now? Do you watch the whole village starve to death?

Looking at the painful appearance of the five masters, the elegant old man continued: "Now that everyone can't eat, and they have missed the spring planting, what will everyone eat in the second half of the year?" Do you want the whole village to starve to death? ”

Finally, Bai Wanchun Bai Old Man stood up tremblingly, took a long breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Folks, blame us for the greed of the five old immortals, who caused such a disaster, if the five old guys can apologize for their sins, we will immediately hang ourselves in this Bai family ancestral hall." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Bai was already full of tears, shook his head, and Old Man Bai continued: "But now, we really have no choice, all the tea has been detained, Bai Qianshan has also been arrested, and he has been fined one million, and now we really can't get a penny back." ”

Hearing this, everyone closed their mouths, and there was a deathly silence in the ancestral hall compound for a while...... An irritable voice roared violently: "That's all your business, you can't drag down the whole village because of your own problems, hurry up and pay back the money, and then don't pay back...... All of your five families have to light the sky lanterns! ”

(To be continued)
