Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Funding Secured

Chu Shuyuan laughed, "You probably don’t even know what kind of effects this rice wine truly has."

"It’s for removing spots, right?"

"That is indeed one of its effects, but that’s not all. Some people discovered after drinking it that it has a very good effect on weight loss. Some have already seen significant results. Additionally, everyone’s skin looks great after drinking it. So, I’m selling it for five thousand yuan per jin (half a kilogram). Of course, you don’t need to know some of the allocations, but what can be given to Wu Mi and the others is three thousand yuan per jin, mainly because the construction of the new rural area also requires a large amount of funding."

Ji Yang said, "That’s already a very good income indeed."

"I believe that with that sum of money, the entire construction work will be able to get underway. You must seize this opportunity; many people are watching."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang was truly in a good mood. If that was the case, the entire construction fund would be there.

At this moment, Cao Jun asked, "Chief Ji, how’s the matter I mentioned going?"

"Wait a minute, I will gather everyone for a meeting to discuss it."

"Right, right."

Ji Yang quickly called Wu Laofu, Wu Changshan, and Wu Mi together.

After everyone sat down, Ji Yang looked at the group and said, "Let’s talk about the sales of the rice wine."

"Has it been sold?" Wu Mi asked excitedly.

Ji Yang repeated what Chu Shuyuan had said.

Instantly, the atmosphere became solemn; everyone was somewhat stunned.

After a while, Wu Changshan hesitantly said, "Are you saying we can get three thousand yuan for every jin? Five thousand jin?"

Wu Laofu also looked at Ji Yang.

Ji Yang nodded and said, "There might be taxes and other things to pay on top of that."

"That’s still a lot, though."

Ji Yang turned to Wu Mi and said, "Actually, Wu Mi is incurring the biggest loss here. She could have made a lot of money."

Wu Mi quickly waved her hand and said, "It’s enough, enough. I can’t even spend it all. I can’t possibly take so much money. Why not use the money for building the new rural area instead?"

Wu Changshan also said, "Yes, yes, it’s too much; we shouldn’t take that much. Let’s use it all for the construction of the new rural area."

Wu Laofu said, "It can’t be like this. There should be rules in everything we do. What’s yours is yours. Actually, it’s Chief Ji who has lost out. He put in so much effort and got nothing, but luckily, Wu Mi is practically family with Chief Ji, or else we’d all be hesitant to divide the money. I have an idea; the money for the village and the funds that should be distributed to the villagers should all be invested in the construction of the new village."

Wu Changshan said, "I agree, and I will also put my share of the money into the construction. I estimated it roughly; some families are due to split off, amounting to a total of one hundred twelve households. Including the money I’d get, that would be over eight million eight hundred thousand yuan. I think we can negotiate with the construction workers and use this money to build the entire village."

Wu Mi said, "I will also contribute money to the construction."

Ji Yang said, "Wu Mi doesn’t need to contribute. Your father’s contribution is enough to account for everyone, and besides, this money is just an advance. When the next sales revenue comes in, it should be repaid. As for Wu Mi’s money, you can start working on the construction of the Hot Spring Resort Area, where you need a significant amount of funding."

Wu Mi said, "I’ll listen to you."

Wu Laofu said, "Then it’s decided; we need to find a construction team."

Ji Yang then explained Cao Jun’s idea.

Wu Laofu said, "Chief Ji, we’ll talk to him. Much of it will be provided by our village. Even without them, we can build it ourselves. Moreover, there are other villages that are even worse off. As long as we hire them to help, they’ll work for a simple meal, and the labor will be cheap."

"The entire plan is already prepared; you need to strictly follow the design blueprint for construction."

"That’s for sure; we guarantee to do this job well."

With money at hand, everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they all wanted to do a good job.

Naturally, Ji Yang was pleased with their enthusiasm and smiled, "All right, let’s go ahead with it. Oh, and make sure to explain the situation clearly to everyone."

Wu Laofu said, "The houses we’re building will be for them to live in; they won’t have any objections; you can rest assured, we guarantee to do a good job, no one will object."

Ji Yang said, "It’s better to make things clearer to avoid making anyone feel they’re at a loss."

Wu Laofu said, "They can get some money, and it’s all thanks to Wu Mi letting go of it. I don’t see who would dare to talk nonsense."

Alright then!

Regarding this matter, Ji Yang didn’t want to say more and thought, "With money, we also need to invest in planting, and that can’t wait."

"Don’t worry, we’re even more anxious than you are. It’s a money-making business; of course, we need to do it well."

Wu Changshan said, "We’ve already discussed it with everyone. The planting of rice and medicinal herbs will be fully underway. Oh, and when can the experts you invited for us arrive? We hope they can guide us."

Ji Yang said, "Don’t worry; they will arrive soon."

Each of the individuals was serious, and they quickly assembled the village cadres.

First, they held a meeting with the village cadres to align their thoughts, then gathered all the villagers to explain the situation.

As expected, as long as the money was used for the villagers’ housing, there was no opposition, and the enthusiasm was high; everyone was willing to participate in the construction.

Watching them go to negotiate with Cao Jun about the construction, Ji Yang found he had nothing much to do.

However, Ji Yang was in good spirits. If this project was successful, he would have achieved something significant here.
