Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"He's here."

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle."

"Yes, he's here."

After exchanging greetings, Xiong Jingchun and his two brothers sat together to chat about family matters, while Xiong Xu played with his phone, waiting for the rest of the villagers to arrive.

As time passed, more and more villagers arrived at the field with their stools.

The village meeting wasn't for everyone, young and old; each household just needed to send a representative. As for those whose families were working outside the village, there was no helping it. After the meeting, their relatives would relay the content of the meeting to them.

The villagers of Shan Xiong Village were quite punctual. The meeting was set for eight o'clock, and by eight o'clock, everyone had arrived.

Then, the village committee cadres sat in a row, with the representatives of the 400-plus households sitting directly in front of them.

The village committee cadres all knew what this village meeting was about, but the 400-plus household representatives didn't. So, after taking their seats, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves, discussing what kind of meeting it was.

"Quiet, quiet down for a moment."

Comrade Xiong Jingchun stood up and raised his hands to signal for quiet.

The scene immediately quieted down.

"Today, we've called everyone here mainly to announce a major event. Our village secretary, Xiong Xu, is preparing to start a bullfrog farming project in our own village!" Comrade Xiong Jingchun said loudly.

There was no microphone, so he had to rely on shouting.

"Bullfrog farming?"

"Bullfrogs?"

"Does that make money?"

The village representatives whispered to each other, unable to resist discussing it.

Xiong Jingchun signaled to Xiong Xu with his eyes. Xiong Xu received the signal and immediately stood up, saying without any stage fright, "The bullfrog market nationwide is worth 80 billion yuan. Its meat is tender and deeply loved by foodies all over the country. I also like to eat it."

"Generally speaking, the profit margin for bullfrog farming isn't high because the time cost of raising bullfrogs is about the same as raising sheep. It takes almost a year before they can be sold."

"But, I've developed a traditional Chinese medicine feed that can make bullfrogs grow quickly. In just two months, bullfrog seedlings of 3-5 centimeters can grow to 3 kilograms, with a profit of at least 25 times!"

"That is to say, by raising bullfrogs, you can get at least 25 times the net profit in two months!"

The purpose of the meeting was to raise funds, and before asking for funds, the benefits had to be explained clearly.

"It's that profitable?"

"Twenty-five times, does that mean a cost of ten yuan can yield a profit of two hundred and fifty yuan in two months?"

"That's a good profit."

The villagers' eyes lit up, all amazed by the profit margin.

Not only the village representatives, but also Xiong Jingchun and the comrades of the village committee were surprised. They knew Xiong Xu was going to engage in bullfrog farming, but they didn't know he had a traditional Chinese medicine feed that could make bullfrogs grow quickly.

The old Comrade Xiong Jingchun couldn't help but take another look at Comrade Xiong Xu, thinking to himself, 'This kid is really hiding something. He said he didn't want to stay the other day, but he's long wanted to stay and lead the whole village to get rich. He's even researched the bullfrog feed.'

Well, our Comrade Xiong Jingchun mistakenly thought that Comrade Xiong Xu had long planned to engage in bullfrog farming for poverty alleviation in Shan Xiong Village, so he had developed the bullfrog feed long ago.

"Xu, is this traditional Chinese medicine feed really that magical? Don't lie to your Sixth Grandpa."

An old man in his sixties sitting in the front row asked. This was Xiong Danian, a major cattle farmer in the village and the richest man in Shan Xiong Village.

Calling him the richest man was just that he had the most cattle in the village, about 12.

In terms of seniority, Xiong Xu called him Sixth Grandpa.

"Sixth Grandpa, who would I dare to lie to? I wouldn't dare to lie to you. Which one of you sitting here isn't my elder? Moreover, my father, my uncle, and the village committee cadres are all here. If I dare to lie to you, could I still be named Xiong?" Xiong Xu said with a smile.

Everyone felt that there was some truth to what he said. Xiong Xu wouldn't dare to lie there, let alone here, unless he didn't want to be named Xiong anymore.

"Uncles, aunties, grandpas, raising bullfrogs requires money. My plan is to raise 1 million yuan from the whole village and use this 1 million yuan to establish a breeding company!"

Xiong Xu finally spoke about the fundraising.

"Raise 1 million yuan?"

The village representatives looked around at each other, exchanging glances.

Xiong Xu could see that everyone was hesitant and cautious about the fundraising.

This was normal.

Not surprising.

"Xu, if the whole village raises funds, how much money will each household have to contribute?" Sixth Grandpa asked curiously.

"If 1 million yuan is divided equally among each household, it's 2173 yuan!" Xiong Xu quickly calculated and gave the answer.

"More than 2000 yuan!"

"That's too much."

"Where can we get so much money all at once?"

Two thousand yuan was a huge sum in the eyes of the villagers. Upon hearing that each household had to contribute 2173 yuan, everyone looked troubled, including Xiong Danian, the richest man in the village.

Comrade Xiong Jingchun then said, "The bullfrog farming project is the key to our village's poverty alleviation and prosperity. Every household has to contribute, at least 500 yuan. As for the rest, my family will cover it."

Although Comrade Xiong Jingchun was no longer the village secretary, he still had the aura of a village secretary.

As soon as he said this, everyone was no longer considering whether to contribute money, but how much to contribute.

"How are the dividends distributed for those who contribute more money?" Sixth Grandpa asked.

Everyone looked at Xiong Xu in unison.

Xiong Xu calmly said, "It's like this, the share of 1 million yuan is 50%. A contribution of 500 yuan gets 0.025% of the shares, and a contribution of 1000 yuan gets 0.05% of the shares!"

"A contribution of 2000 yuan gets 0.1% of the shares. Taking a 0.1% share as an example, if the dividend is 10 million, then you can get 10,000 yuan!"

The Women's Federation Director, Comrade Li Shufen, frowned and asked suspiciously after hearing this, "That's not right. If we raise 1 million yuan, shouldn't the share be 100%? Why is it only 50%, what about the other 50%?"

"Yes, ah."

"What about the other 50%?"

The village representatives asked one after another.

"Investing in a company can be done in two ways. One is financial investment, where everyone contributes money, which is financial investment. The other is technical investment."

"The reason why our soon-to-be-established bullfrog farming company can achieve a profit margin of over 25 times in two months is mainly because of the traditional Chinese medicine I developed. The core key to the company's huge profits is this traditional Chinese medicine feed, so my technical investment will account for 50% of the company's shares!"

He definitely had to lead the villagers to get rich. The whole village was indebted to his family. It wouldn't be human not to lead them, and besides, the system task also included achieving an average annual income of 50,000+ for the whole village.

But one thing is one thing, and his own interests cannot be abandoned. He had to take as many shares as he should.

Xiong Xu didn't want the bullfrog farming company he had worked so hard to establish to become someone else's company in the future due to shareholding issues, so he had to hold a controlling stake.

"I see."

The village committee cadres and the village representatives suddenly understood.
