Li Qingfeng, seeing the happy faces of the villagers, was also very pleased and continued.
"It's like this, I thought a lot at the time, but in the end, I decided that in the early stage, we can only flatten the road a bit."
Looking at the villagers in front of him, Li Qingfeng continued to explain, "Please don't blame me, it's just that I don't have that much money, and I have no other choice!"
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Boss Feng has the intention, the villagers don't really care about it."
Hearing his words, the villagers immediately spoke up.
After all, they really didn't care about the situation in front of them.
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng lowered his head with relief and said to everyone, "It's like this, after thinking about it, I decided to build a gravel road first, which will save costs!"
"That's fine, a gravel road is actually better than this broken road!"
Indeed, after hearing his words, the villagers became extremely excited for a moment.
The roads in Mopangou Village were simply too dilapidated.
It was understandable, for a third-rate small village, what use could its broken roads possibly have?
Did this even need to be asked? It was really like this.
As expected, when he heard this, Li Qingfeng smiled and explained his thoughts to them.
"It's like this, our Mopangou Village is fifteen li away from the town, and paving the entire road with gravel would be very costly."
"I roughly calculated that the cost would be around 700,000 yuan!"
"Seven hundred thousand? That's so much!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, the villagers were all shocked. They never expected that such a small road would cost so much.
"Yes, it's seven hundred thousand, so..."
At this point, Li Qingfeng suddenly fell silent.
"Tell us, do you have any unspeakable difficulties?"
Hearing him say this, before the surrounding villagers could speak, the person who spoke first directly said.
Upon hearing his words, an embarrassed expression appeared on Li Qingfeng's face.
Given the situation, he couldn't remain silent. At this point, he still needed everyone's help.
"It's like this, to be honest with you all, I don't have the seventy thousand yuan."
"In fact, let alone seventy thousand, even thirty thousand would be difficult for me to come up with..."
Li Qingfeng's face turned red, and he looked at the situation in front of him without speaking for a long time.
Alright, after hearing his words, the villagers believed him.
At this moment, they were all extremely worried, for fear that this situation would cause Li Qingfeng to close down his business.
"Then Boss Feng, what do you plan to do?"
Since Li Qingfeng had made a promise earlier, the villagers could only ask with great curiosity.
"Well, although I can't come up with that much money, I realized that I still have all of you! So I plan to leave ten people here to guard the entire medicinal herb base, and the rest will go with me to the stone mountain to dig for stones and sand!"
"Don't worry about the road rolling, I will hire machines and try to keep the cost within 300,000 yuan, so I will be able to come up with the money!"
Li Qingfeng looked at the villagers in front of him with sincerity.
It wasn't that he was being stingy; in fact, if he didn't do this, he really couldn't afford it.
Fortunately, the villagers paid no attention to Li Qingfeng's words.
In their opinion, they wouldn't be angry even if Li Qingfeng didn't build the road for them.
And this decision could be said to be a win-win situation.
"But..."
"But if you do this, Boss Feng, won't you have no money left? Won't you be short of funds?"
Some worried villagers directly asked.
Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng smiled nonchalantly.
"The elder brother asks a good question, I will explain it to everyone again!"
"It's like this, in fact, everyone's worries are not without reason, and I understand them all. You are all afraid that I will go bankrupt directly."
"However, I, Li Qingfeng, can promise here that no matter when it is, your wages will never be late, and repairing the road and transporting stones are strenuous tasks, so the wages for those doing this job will be increased to one hundred yuan per day!"
"Great!"
As soon as Li Qingfeng finished speaking, the villagers shouted excitedly.
To be honest, after talking for so long, the most useful thing was this sentence. Money was always the most useful thing.
As expected, upon hearing this, the villagers' doubts instantly disappeared.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Li Qingfeng nodded with relief.
He said to them, "Then, if everyone has no other questions, we will speed up the progress of the vegetable and fruit cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise the road construction will be delayed for a long time!"
"Okay, Boss Feng, please rest assured, there will be no problems here!"
"Then I'll trouble everyone!"
After hearing the villagers' promise, Li Qingfeng bowed gratefully to them.
The villagers were all very moved by Li Qingfeng's sudden politeness, and in the afternoon, they worked as if they were on steroids.
They were all very happy, but for Li Qingfeng, it became quite worrisome.
Although he had made a promise, this promise was not as simple as it seemed. On the contrary, the promise to build the road was indeed not easy.
Li Qingfeng's initial capital of one million yuan was contributed by Ji Fenglin's father, Ji Guangyuan. That money was spent one yuan less.
After so much development, only about 400,000 yuan was left.
At this time, he still had to allocate 300,000 yuan for road construction, leaving only 100,000 yuan for wages, which was an extremely difficult task.
"It's really hard!"
Looking at the diligent people, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"You've already done a great job. In our Mopangou Village, it's rare to have someone like you in so many years!"
Hearing his sigh, Yan Yun, who had been standing behind him, spoke.
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng quickly turned around and asked, "Do you think I've done a good job?"
"Actually, you're putting too much pressure on yourself. Now, everyone in Mopangou Village depends on your company for survival!"
Seeing Li Qingfeng looking so confused and helpless, Yan Yun couldn't help but feel distressed. A sudden impulse arose in her heart.
She walked up and gently hugged him.
