Chapter 77 Are You Threatening Me? (Please Read)

When Lu Feng took his parents for a walk and came back, it was already noon.

As soon as the car stopped, the neighbor came over and said, "Brother Nan, someone from the village committee came over just now and said they were looking for Afeng."

It’s New Year’s Day and I have no relatives in the village committee, so how could anyone come to look for me?

"Where are the people?" Lu Feng got out of the car, took a look, and saw no one.

"They left and told me to tell Afeng to go to the village committee if he comes back."

"Okay, got it. Thank you Uncle Feng." Lu Feng expressed his gratitude.

Back in the room, Lu Xiangnan and Lin Xingrui had calmed down from their excitement and confirmed again and again that the car was indeed Lu Feng's.

"The village committee suddenly came to you. Is there something wrong?" As an honest farmer, Lu Xiangnan was still full of awe for the village committee.

Lu Feng shook his head: "I don't know either."

"It's New Year's Day and they've come to your house. You have to go there anyway." Lu Xiangnan said.

Lu Feng nodded. Ever since his grandparents passed away, there were usually few relatives visiting on the first day of the new year. Besides, his only uncle had severed all ties with him, so naturally he wouldn't come to visit. After thinking about it, he drove his father's second-hand Haojue towards the village committee.

In less than five minutes, Lu Feng saw the village committee with its door still open.

When I walked in, I found that there were quite a few people working there. I gave my name and the doorman immediately pointed to the office in the back: "The one with the red door in the middle."

Lu Feng did as he was told and arrived outside the largest office. Through the window, he quickly saw the three people he met yesterday during the ancestor worship ceremony. Next to them was another younger man, probably less than 40 years old, with a shaved head and a tattoo on his neck.

Before Lv Feng could knock on the door, the flat-headed man came over to open the door and waved at him. "Come in!"

Lu Feng stepped in and came directly in front of the four people.

For a moment, the four people's eyes fell on him.

The director of the village committee, the old man who had not retired yet, had no intention of inviting Lv Feng to have tea. He hunched his back, raised his head and stared at Lv Feng for a while.

"I heard you bought a car?"

"I ordered it before the New Year and it just arrived yesterday."

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that the young man has indeed made some money." After confirming the truth of the rumor, the old man went straight to the point.

"I asked you to come here because I want to discuss something with you."

"Director, please speak."

"I hope you don't take yesterday's incident to heart. Now we all believe that you really want to bid for the farm."

Lu Feng looked at him, waiting for what to say next.

The old man took a sip of tea and continued, "Now, there are two choices for you. One is that you don't participate in this bidding, and the village will give you a subsidy of 20,000 yuan. The other is that you come to bid together, and we will set the price if it is not enough. After the matter is completed, we will donate 30,000 yuan to the Mazu Temple in your name, so that you can earn enough fame."

Lu Feng frowned slightly.

He was already full of anger yesterday, and when they met today he was given a barrage of remarks that seemed to be giving him face but were actually meant to force him to withdraw. He couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Isn't it stipulated that as long as you are a villager you have the right to fair competition?"

"It was like this in previous years. But this year is different."

"Different? How is it different? I haven't heard of any changes."

"Of course it's different." The old man coughed lightly and said slowly: "From the 1980s to now, there have been four consecutive open biddings, and the price of the farm has also risen sharply, becoming more and more outrageous, and the price of adult shrimp has continued to fall in the past two years. If it continues like this, the farm may soon lose money. So after a few of us studied it, we decided to take the farm back to the collective and have the village provide manpower and money to run it." "Does that mean that the profits in the future will belong to all villagers?" Lu Feng asked.

The old man shook his head: "Of course not. We have established a foundation and it operates under the name of the foundation. Whether it is profit or loss, it is the responsibility of the foundation."

"Who are the members of the Foundation?"

The old man pointed to the four people in the office and said, "Just the five of us here."

Hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh. "Director, why don't you just say that the farm will be contracted by the five of you from now on? Why make it so complicated?"

"It's different! If it's profitable, the foundation will still donate some money to the village every year, such as college scholarships, road construction and so on." The old man smiled.

"So you came to me to ask me to withdraw from the bidding?"

The old man smiled and nodded. "Like I said just now, you won't gain nothing. You can get both fame and fortune. Of course, if you still want to continue bidding, we won't stop you. After all, this is the right of every villager. But let me be frank. We have already convinced other people who are capable of bidding this time, and we have paid a lot for it. If things don't work out in the future, you will have to bear some responsibility."

Hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"Why do you sound like you're threatening me?"

"You can't say that, young man. He who knows the current affairs of the times is a hero, right? You are out there making your own living and have your own career. You don't have to limit your vision to this little piece of land in the village." The old man still spoke calmly.

"I don't quite agree!" Lu Feng said directly. "If I remember correctly, when the three farms were taken over by the collective, all the villagers voted, and every term was carried out in this way. If there is a need for change, it must be decided by everyone's vote. Your method is no different from directly taking it for yourself."

"So you mean you don't want to give up?" the old man asked.

Lu Feng was too lazy to explain anything.

Maybe because of various relationships, other people compromised, but that doesn’t mean he has to go along with it even though he knows it is against the rules.

"I will still bid according to the normal procedures."

"Okay! Then there's nothing more to say." The old man waved his hand.

Lu Feng left without saying a word.

"Director, what should we do now?" The man with the flat head looked at Lu Feng's departing back.

"Young people don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. They think the world belongs to them just because they have a little money." The old man sneered, "Since he wants to invest, let him invest. How much did we originally plan to pay for the rent of the thirty acres of land?"

"One acre, one year, five hundred." A person next to him responded.

"Raise it twice as much. I don't believe he can offer a higher price." said the old man.

The man continued, "What about the 50-acre and 100-acre lots?"

"Let's keep the original price and just spread the cost." The old man decided.

"That's fine. It's only an extra 150,000 yuan in cost, which is within acceptable range." The man nodded.

Next to him, the tattooed man with a crew cut smiled and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk."

How could the old man not know what he was thinking? He reminded him, "It's good enough. Don't make any big problems."

"Are you still not confident in my ability to do things?" The bald man smiled and left.
