In fact, the reason why Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan care so much about the piece of ebony found by Meng Jishui's family is that they are really poor. Although they are the parents of this town, Shimen Town's financial revenue is not much, and they still owe a lot of debt.
It is not an easy job for the parents. Now that a treasure worth millions has been unearthed in their jurisdiction, and they can legitimately be nationalized, how can they not be tempted, so they do not hesitate to send police and government workers
The reason for stationing at the entrance of the village was partly to prevent reporters, but the bigger reason was that they were afraid that Meng Jishui’s family would secretly move the ebony!
At ten o'clock in the morning, the government leaders headed by Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan came to Mengjia Village again and settled at the home of Meng Ping, the current village chief of Mengjia Village.
The economic conditions of Meng Ping's family are much better than that of Meng Jishui's family. They have a three-and-a-half-storey small Western-style building with luxurious decoration and a large courtyard outside. It is said that he is the richest person in the village, but even so
, he was envious and jealous of the Meng Jishui family's discovery of ebony, so he was one of the most active people in the nationalization of ebony. In addition, the fact that the Meng Jishui family had wealthy relatives from the United States who came back to recognize their relatives also stimulated Meng Ping,
This made him even more jealous, because he was afraid that he would not be the richest man in the village in the future, and he was also afraid that his prestige in the village would be affected, and the villagers would not listen to him from then on.
"Village Chief Meng, I had a meal with Mayor Jingquan last night and discussed the matter of Ebony. I think we can make a different turn and that old man Meng Jishui might be more accepting." As soon as he sat down, Lin Lanxin said
Let’s get down to business.
"Oh, Secretary Lin, please give me some advice on how to turn?" Meng Ping said expectantly.
"It's like this. According to our current law, whoever the land belongs to belongs to whoever finds it underground. And the riverbank where Meng Jishui found Wumu is not state-owned land, but the collective land of your village, so I
I want him to hand over the ebony to the village first, saying that the ebony belongs to the village. After the ebony is obtained, you can dedicate the ebony to the country in the name of the collective. In this way, won't we succeed?" Lin Lanxin asked him
The solution he had thought of was revealed. In fact, he used the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers, using villagers to deal with villagers, and he could just wait and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Moreover, he had already seen that Meng Ping was jealous of Meng Jishui's family.
Let him take action, and he will definitely do his best.
Meng Ping's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Secretary Lin, your method is really good! Now what excuse does Old Meng have for being stubborn?"
"Village Chief Meng, go and call Meng Jishui and his family over." Shi Jingquan gave the order just like he did two days ago.
"No, Mayor Jingquan, we will go there today. This also shows our sincerity." Lin Lanxin waved his hand.
So, with Meng Ping leading the way, Lin Lanxin, Shi Jingquan and a group of five people arrived at Meng Jishui's house.
Lin Lanxin and Shi Jing couldn't help but froze for a moment when they saw an off-road vehicle parked in the yard of Meng Jishui's house with a provincial license plate.
Such an awesome license plate is not something ordinary people can get, but it seems that I have never heard of Old Man Meng having such awesome relatives and friends?
Seeing Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan's surprised looks, Meng Ping finally remembered that he had forgotten to report to them that Meng Jishui's relatives in the United States came to the United States last night. He quickly approached them and whispered the situation.
American relatives? Or super wealthy! Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan looked at each other, and both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. He smiled knowingly, meaning, buddy, heroes see the same thing, and we
I thought of it together.
It is not uncommon for virtuous people to return home to invest in construction or do good things such as building bridges and roads. Lin Banxin and Shi Jingquan had this idea. In their opinion, those rich people who returned from abroad only need to have thinner fingers.
Let their political performance be greatly improved, and their lives will be much easier.
But after being happy, Lin Lanxin soon became worried. Will such a wealthy overseas Chinese cause the town government to nationalize Ebony? This possibility is not impossible, and it is quite high.
At this time, Meng Jishui knew that Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan had arrived, and hurriedly came out to greet him. After all, he was a village chief and had due respect for the leaders of the town committee and town government. However, his son Meng Xiunong and other family members
They no longer have this consciousness, and they all have a hostile attitude towards the arrival of Lin Lanxin, Shi Jingquan and others, and they feel that now that Meng Hu is backing them, their backs seem to be a little harder.
After a while of greetings, Meng Jishui invited Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan into the living room of the house. As soon as they entered the living room, Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan noticed two Martell Cordon Bleu boxes and wine bottles placed next to the TV cabinet.
, the two personalities looked at each other, as if to say: It seems the rumors are true!
Lin Lanxin and Shi Jing are both knowledgeable people, so they naturally know the price of this wine. The market price of a three-pound bottle of Cordon Bleu is about two thousand yuan. It is not particularly expensive, but it is definitely not cheap. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.
.If they knew that there were two more boxes in this room, they would be even more surprised.
Seeing that Meng Jishui's overseas Chinese relatives didn't show up, Lin Lanxin couldn't take the initiative to ask, so he signaled with his eyes that Meng Ping could start.
After receiving Lin Lanxin's hint, Meng Ping coughed, cleared his throat, and said unhurriedly: "Uncle Shui, you are the old village head of our village. Your ideological consciousness has always been the highest in our village.
…”
Meng Ping, the village chief, is quite capable. He first put a high hat on Meng Jishui, and then continued: "Uncle Shui, look at this sacred tree you found. It has disturbed everyone during this time.
It would be better to resolve it as soon as possible. Secretary Lin and Mayor Shi have put a lot of thought into this matter, especially Secretary Lin. He even went to the city to consult relevant legal experts. The experts said that according to our current laws,
, Whoever owns the land will own the treasures found under the ground. According to this regulation and principle, the riverbank land where you always found the sacred tree belongs to the collective land of the village, so the sacred tree must also be collectively owned by the village. For
Secretary Lin and Mayor Shi both support this ownership, what do you think?"
"This..." For a moment, Meng Jishui really didn't know how to answer Meng Ping. If he agreed, it would be clear that his family would suffer. If he didn't agree, he would offend all the villagers and lose a foothold in the village. Lin Lanxin
This plan suddenly forced Meng Jishui's family into a corner. It was really... endless!
"Ah, why is the house so busy?" A voice suddenly came from the direction of the room. Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan looked in the direction of the voice and found that the owner of the voice was a burly and strong young man. His skin was
It's relatively white, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the clothes he's wearing are high-end goods. His steady steps and smile on his face reveal his strong confidence and aura. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this young man is no ordinary person!
This young man was naturally Meng Hu. He had been paying attention to the situation in the living room from his room. Seeing that his uncle was being embarrassed, he knew it was time for him to appear.
"Village Chief Meng, this is..." Lin Lanxin cast a questioning look at Meng Jishui. He estimated that the young man in front of him was Meng Jishui's so-called American relative.
"Secretary Lin, Mayor Shi, let me introduce you two. This is the grandson of my eldest brother in the United States who I have lost contact with for many years - Meng Hu, who is also my grand-nephew. He just returned from the United States yesterday." Meng Jishui pointed.
Meng Hu introduced Lin Lanxin and others, and then introduced Lin Lanxin and others to Meng Hu.
"It turns out it's Secretary Lin and Mayor Shi. I'm disrespectful." Meng Hu stepped forward with a smile on his face and shook hands with Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan.
"Where is it?" Lin Lanxin shook hands with Meng Hu with a smile. After the greetings, he asked tentatively: "Mr. Meng is really young and promising. I wonder what industry he is engaged in in the United States?
"
"Our family is in the entertainment service industry. We run several small wines and restaurants in Chinatown, New York." Meng Hu had a modest smile on his face. Following Long Ziyou's instructions, he first showed his face a little.
'Muscle' (wealth and strength), in fact, these are not his family's main source of income.
How many wines and restaurants are there? Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan’s hearts skipped a beat. The wines and restaurants in New York, the largest city in the United States, are not the hotels in Shimen Town, nor the hotels in the county. They estimated conservatively.
Next, Meng Hu’s family is worth at least more than 10 million US dollars!
The appearance of Meng Hu disrupted the plans of Lin Lanxin and others. With him around, Meng Ping could not bring up the matter of the sacred tree. Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan talked cordially with Meng Hu, chatting about their hometown and asking him what he thought of it.
Regarding the sense of hometown, Meng Hu said that his hometown was beautiful and the people were nice, but he was too poor. At the same time, he also hinted that he intended to return to his hometown to invest, which made Lin Lanxin and Shi Jingquan treat him better.
About half an hour later, Lin Lanxin invited Meng Hu to visit the town house and various places in the town, and Meng Hu naturally accepted it happily.
Near noon, Lin Lanxin invited Meng Hu to dinner in the name of the town committee and town government, and Meng Hu accepted. During the dinner, after drinking for three rounds, Lin Lanxin tentatively asked Meng Hu if he was interested in returning to his hometown to invest.
"Secretary Lin, Mayor Shi, investment is a very serious matter. Although I have an idea, I have to go through strictly controlled inspections before making a decision. In addition, this matter also needs to be discussed with my dad and my brother." Meng
Hu replied with a serious look, indicating that he had this idea but not saying that he must invest.
"That's that." Lin Lanxin agreed with a smile. It was enough for him to know that Meng Hu had this idea.
"But, before I decide whether to invest, I will do one thing first, and my dad and my brother have already agreed to this." Meng Ping threw out his bait again.
