the next day.

Several excavators drove into Chenjiagou Village.

Rumble.

A burst of black smoke rose.

Breeding pond excavation.

The excavated soil was not wasted and was used to backfill the paddy fields in the village.

in addition.

Chen Meng also planned several small islands in advance in the center of the breeding pond, which were just built with soil.

Then the foundations of the embankment and the island were built with stones that the quarry had not had time to remove.

If it's not enough, we'll blow up the mountains and get rid of the rocks.

Everything has been planned, just follow the plan.

The villagers are also very enthusiastic.

If nothing else, at least Chen Meng was exempted from all withdrawals.

As for those who have already paid, they have suffered a bit of a loss.

I haven't paid for it in several years, I took advantage of it, and I was secretly happy.

Little did I know.

Chen Meng had a steelyard in mind for a long time, and he convened a meeting of several cadres at the village committee. "Register the people who owe money, and mark out who owes how much."

"Village chief, didn't you say you want to exempt everything?" Accountant Zhao Erhe was confused.

"Except those who are in arrears and have special financial difficulties, those who are in arrears are more or less careless and cheating. If the village wants to develop, it must arouse the enthusiasm of the villagers and treat them differently," Chen Meng said.

Women's Director Jin Mo nodded, "After the meeting yesterday, some villagers expressed their opinions. They felt that they had paid their dues and were at a disadvantage."

"If it were me, I would also give advice." Chen Meng said with a smile.

The accountant who was doing the registration glanced at Chen Meng and said to himself, most of these people who owed the withdrawal money are the lackeys of Zhang Dewang and Zhang Danian. During the meeting yesterday, the person who opposed Chen Meng the most was not aware that the village chief was

Not intending revenge...

He doesn't care whether it's revenge or not. As long as the village chief can sincerely lead the villagers to get rich, he can say anything.

"Oh, by the way, I will have people demolish the old village committee house and build a two-story building later... The village committee is too dilapidated and does not meet the requirements of development." Chen Meng said.

"But there is no money in the village's books."

"I'll pay it back first, and then pay it back to me when the village has money." Chen Meng waved his hand.

It only cost a few dollars to build two floors, so he didn't care.

Of course, as mentioned above, he is the village chief, but he cannot use his family property to subsidize the village.

Chen Meng wanted to help the village build a village committee for free, but I don’t know who spread the word.

It immediately aroused a wave of praise in the village.

"Look, let me tell you that Mengzi is an honest man. The first thing he did when he became the village chief was to help the village build buildings for free. Look at Zhang Dewang and Zhang Danian, they have done nothing."

"No, some people also say that the village chief has ulterior motives. He used his own money for ulterior motives?"

"Bah, those people who say something bad about the village chief have ulterior motives."

"That's right, they are all Zhang Laogou's lackeys, and they only wish the village chief was not good."

Under the big locust tree, a group of people were chatting while cracking melon seeds.

They all spoke highly of Chen Meng.

Just right.

Chen Meng walked over with his hands behind his back and stood up to say hello, "Village Chief, why are you wandering around today?"

"They're all here."

Chen Meng puffed out a circle of cigarettes with a smile, "I'm worried. After all, I'm delaying spring plowing. I'm afraid I'll get scolded."

"Village chief, if anyone dares to scold you, we will scold him back."

"That's right, if you don't want to give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. Our village has been growing food for generations and has made people poor for generations. It's time to change the way of production."

"Village Chief, you said you wanted to build a breeding farm. What are you going to raise?"

A group of people surrounded Chen Meng, chattering.

Keep talking.

"It's best if everyone can figure this out. As for what to raise, I will consider it after the pond is dug... In fact, if our village wants to develop, there are many ways. The fruits, wild mushrooms, and medicinal materials that are all over the mountains and plains of Dongshan can be grown on a large scale.

These are all ways to make money, and when the time comes, you won’t have to worry about what to sow, but rather there won’t be enough land.” Chen Meng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the village chief has a good vision, so we can't see these ways of making money." Someone flattered him.

"No, it's mainly due to information asymmetry. In the past, our village had no roads or electricity, and we basically had no chance to learn about information from the outside world. Therefore, there were some things that were scarce in the outside world, but we had them here but there was no market for them." Chen Meng

said.

This situation actually did not improve until the era of the Internet explosion.

However, the explosion of the Internet has advantages and disadvantages.

How to put this thing into words, it also has something to do with the importance the country attaches to it.

Our country is too poor. In the next few decades, the most important thing is to develop urban strategies.

As for rural areas, it would be difficult to develop if they were not geographically located and rich in resources.

What he has to do now is to use the advanced information he has to develop Chenjiagou Village...

"Village chief, what is information asymmetry?"

"Well, I can't explain this clearly for a while. To put it simply, I don't understand the situation in the outside world. For example, the county wants to recruit a worker. There is a villager who lives in Chengguan. After hearing the news, he applied for the job and got the job.

This job, and our village is far away and there is no news. By the time I got the news, it was already too late..." Chen Meng explained.

"Well, the village chief knows better." The villagers suddenly realized.

Chen Meng burst into laughter. This is just the simplest metaphor. In fact, in real life, there are many reasons for information asymmetry. Among them, the most artificial ones are the highly sophisticated people who can control the latest and most profitable information.

Due to the outflow, ordinary people will naturally miss many opportunities to make a fortune. This is a barrier between classes and it is difficult to overcome...

"You guys continue chatting, I'll go to Dongshan Pass to have a look."

Chen Meng left with his hands behind his back.

There are five excavators in total, digging non-stop.

A big hole has been dug.

From the looks of it, it can be completed in less than a month.

The days passed quickly.

unconsciously.

The reservoir in Lingxi County has been completed.

The franchise store has also been renovated.

Chen Meng had to go to Lingxi County to attend the opening ceremony.

So, he told the village cadres to pay attention to the excavation of breeding ponds and supervise the collection of paddy fields. If there was any news, they should contact him in time and drove to Lingxi County.

An hour later.

Arrived at the franchise store.

The store entrance has been decorated with lights.

Everything is decorated and looks cheerful.

There are dozens of flower baskets placed at the door.

Chen Meng took a look and saw that they were all sent by various companies and units.

Zhan Jiu has been operating in Lingxi County for many years and has some connections.

"Mr. Chen, you're here." Zhan Jiu quickly welcomed Chen Meng into the store.

Chen Meng went in and saw several familiar faces from the main store at a glance. They were sent by Zhan Luer to help train the chefs and guide the opening.

Seeing him come in, they all stood up and said hello.

Chen Meng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work... Zhanjiu, how are the preparations for the opening going?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening at the auspicious time of 11.08 noon." Zhan Jiu couldn't hide his excitement.

After making such a big decision, closing down the Taste Garden, spending so much money and going through so much trouble, whether we will make a profit or a loss will depend on the results of the verification later.
Chapter completed!
