"Boss Qin!"
Liu Erbao, hearing the voice from the crowd not far away, immediately brought his wife and ran over, his face filled with unconcealable excitement and emotion.
"Here's the contract, take a look. If it's okay, sign it,"
Qin Chuan said to the Liu Erbao couple who had run up to him. He then picked up the leather bag placed on the passenger seat and unzipped it with a "sizzle" in front of everyone.
In an instant, it was filled with stacks of dazzling banknotes, all hundred-yuan bills.
This scene was witnessed by the villagers gathered around, and their eyes immediately turned green with greedy light, some even started swallowing.
Many of them had never seen so much money in their entire lives!
Just a rough glance, and the bag probably contained over a hundred thousand yuan. As expected of a factory owner, he was indeed wealthy.
"Boss Qin, we don't really understand the contract, but I believe you wouldn't cheat us!"
Liu Erbao gave Qin Chuan a simple smile, and his wife stood beside him, looking a little reserved.
In this era, farmers in small towns generally had low literacy. Many had never even been to school and couldn't recognize characters. Being able to write their own names was already quite good.
It was completely normal not to understand the contract with its densely packed text, and it was not surprising at all.
Qin Chuan sighed inwardly at the long road ahead for his country's education cause and said loudly, "Then I'll explain the important contents of the contract. Everyone else, listen carefully!"
"There are only two important points in this contract!"
"First, once the contract is signed and the deposit is received, neither party can go back on their word or sell the land to others. Otherwise, whoever breaches the contract will have to pay one hundred times the penalty!"
"In other words, once you sign the contract and receive the deposit, you cannot go back. If you do, you'll have to compensate me a hundred thousand yuan!"
The crowd stirred. The extremely high compensation figure clearly startled many, and some turned pale.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly comforted them, "Of course, if you don't go back on your word, then nothing will happen, and everyone will be at peace!"
The commotion gradually subsided.
"The second point is that after signing the contract, you must move out and vacate the premises within seven days at the latest! I ask everyone, is seven days ample time and considerate? It's enough for you to find a new house or rent one!"
The people gathered around murmured amongst themselves. No one raised any objections, as they all felt a week was sufficient.
"The third point!"
"After I purchase enough land, I will settle the remaining payments for everyone! What you need to do is prepare your property deeds and land certificates!"
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Qin Chuan asked loudly.
A moment of silence was his reply.
"Alright, Liu Erbao, sign the contract!"
Qin Chuan handed him a pen. With excitement and anticipation, Liu Erbao quickly signed his name and pressed his handprint under guidance.
The contract was in duplicate. After signing, Qin Chuan counted out a thousand yuan in hundred-yuan bills and handed them directly to Liu Erbao, "This money is yours now!"
*Swish!!*
Before Liu Erbao could react, a pair of hands next to him snatched the money away with lightning speed. It was Liu Erbao's wife. Qin Chuan looked over and smiled wryly, while Liu Erbao also chuckled awkwardly.
"Liu Erbao, who is your neighbor?"
"We'll go through this process one family at a time!"
Having dealt with Liu Erbao's family, Qin Chuan's gaze fell on the house next to them.
"Song Laosan!!"
"Song Laosan, Boss Qin is calling you! Come out!"
Liu Erbao shouted loudly to the crowd.
After a bit of commotion, a disheveled man whose hair looked like he hadn't washed it in half a month sheepishly squeezed through the crowd. He was Song Laosan, nearly forty years old and still a bachelor.
"Song Laosan, right? Are you selling your house?"
Qin Chuan asked kindly.
"This... I don't know!"
Song Laosan scratched his head, revealing a row of yellow teeth as he smiled.
"You idiot, why wouldn't you sell it when such a good opportunity arises?"
This time, before Qin Chuan could speak, Huang Naixiang from the crowd jumped out and yelled at Song Laosan, pointing at his nose.
"Look at you, how old are you and you still don't have a wife? Your parents died long ago, and you're all alone at home!"
"What's the point of keeping this dilapidated house? It's better to sell it now, use the money to find a wife, and live a comfortable life together!"
Seeing Song Laosan being lectured like a grandson by Huang Naixiang, Qin Chuan winked at his second brother standing beside him. His expression seemed to say, "See, the five thousand yuan wasn't wasted!"
At this moment, Qin Gang truly admired his younger brother. His discernment, insight, and handling of affairs were so seasoned, as if he had anticipated everything.
He couldn't help but wonder, being born of the same parents, why was his third brother's brain so good among the three brothers?
Especially recently, it was as if he had suddenly gained a cheat code, doing everything with such proficiency and perfect timing.
With the persuasion of Huang Naixiang and other villagers, Song Laosan was soon convinced and took out his property deed and land certificate.
Qin Chuan asked his second brother to take a look. Qin Gang read aloud, "Two rooms, a total of eighty-five square meters!"
Not long after, under the gaze of many, Song Laosan also signed the contract and received a thousand yuan deposit.
"You fool, don't spend this money carelessly. Wait until the rest of the money comes, and you can find a wife!"
"Yeah, having a wife is much more appealing than this broken house. Holding her in your arms in bed, that feeling is indescribable! So soft!"
"There are even happier things! Haha!!"
"What are the happier things? Is it the gurgling sound of water?"
"Hahaha!!!"
Some men openly started talking about lewd matters, which embarrassed the women. They all blushed and cursed, saying men were no good!
Qin Chuan and Qin Gang also chuckled. They were all men, and who didn't like to talk about lewdness? It was a man's nature!
After dealing with Song Laosan's family, it was time for the third family.
Qin Chuan was currently choosing households located by the roadside because once the buildings were completed, this area would be filled with commercial properties, which would be more valuable.
The first and second floors would be shops, and above the third floor would be residences.
When the national policies were released in the latter half of the year, this place would be a true treasure trove.
Qin Chuan decided to reserve a few commercial units for his parents, elder brother, and second brother, so they could collect rent just by lying down!
There were fourteen households living by the roadside on this street.
Qin Chuan felt that with his current funds, he could at most afford to buy out the families in the front and back two rows. Any more and he truly wouldn't have the money!
