Chapter 333: Not Accepting Blackmail

Old Xue smiled at the two new employees and said, "Construction at the Qingshan River construction site has not started yet. Changda Real Estate Company has bid for four parcels of land in the south of the city. Something happened there a few days ago. Come with me and have a look."

Hearing that something happened on the land being auctioned, Daguang immediately became vigilant. He knew that when dealing with villagers around the city, even if it was a small matter, the problem could not be solved with just a few words. He wanted to clarify the matter first, "Mr. Xue

,What happened there?”

"The four plots of land we photographed were originally vegetable plots owned by villagers. Perhaps to facilitate watering, the villagers dug wells in their respective plots. When the staff of Changda Real Estate went to take over the land some time ago, villagers from nearby villages came out.

If you cause trouble, ask us for compensation."

"Didn't the government compensate them when it acquired the land? Even if it didn't compensate them at that time, these people should ask the government for it. What does it have to do with the developers who paid for the land?" Although they are not highly educated, among this group of comrades,

Da Guang is a well-educated person, and he is a soldier himself, so he knows the general policies.

"Who said it wasn't the case? After inquiring later, I found out that when the land was acquired, the agreement between the government and the villagers clearly stipulated that only land items would be compensated. Even if it was a small tree, the government had compensated and the villagers had no objection. However,

Neither the government nor the villagers thought about such underground objects as motorized wells. By the time the villagers realized it, the agreement had already come into effect, so some unreasonable villagers came out to cause trouble when we were preparing to move in." Lao Xue explained.

"This matter has nothing to do with Changda Real Estate. It makes no sense for the villagers to seek compensation from you! How much money do they want?"

"Each motorized well costs several hundred yuan. These people think that the company's money is easy to get, and they are trying to take advantage of the situation."

"Well, they think companies are easy to talk to. Maybe someone from the government department will come up with such an idea for the villagers." Daguang guessed.

"It is possible. In fact, even if each household has one well, the total land of the four parcels is less than 1,000 acres. If each household has one acre of land, and there are 1,000 households, it only costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. This amount of money

Compared with the development funds invested by Changda Real Estate in the south of the city, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket. The money is not much, but we cannot open this hole and do not accept blackmail," Lao Xue said.

"Yes, once this precedent is set, in the future when Changda Real Estate develops in the south of the city, people will continue to come to you for this or that. Just meet their requirements. If not, those people will definitely cause trouble."

"So, I plan to communicate face-to-face with the villagers and explain the truth to them clearly. You two can accompany me."

"Mr. Xue, it's okay for us to accompany you, but I want to know how you plan to communicate with the villagers?"

"I want to tell them about the situation we just talked about and see if they can listen."

"Okay, let's take a trip, but I hope it won't intensify the conflict."

The three of them got into the Toyota Prado, and it took half an hour to reach the land in the south of the city. From a distance, they could see scattered villagers moving in the fields. When they saw a car coming, villagers in twos and threes gathered here, "These

Maybe they are waiting for us here." Lao Xue said casually.

"How did they know you were coming here?" Daguang didn't understand.

"A few days ago, the staff of Changda Group came to take over the land. Someone told them that leaders will be here in two days and asked them to talk to the leaders. These people may be waiting here for me every day."

"For a few hundred yuan in compensation, they won't do it, right? If you have this free time, why not go to the city to do odd jobs and earn one or two hundred a day?" The second strongman who followed behind and had been silent suddenly said these words

.

"You're right,

But it depends on who it is. If they are young and middle-aged, going to the city to do odd jobs, a few hundred yuan will only cost them three or two days.

They will take it very seriously. Besides, if you meet a company that is easy to talk to, you may easily get hundreds of dollars. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of such an advantage?" Daguang analyzed.

While the three of them were talking, more than a dozen villagers had gathered twenty or thirty meters away from the car. As expected, these people all seemed to be middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and above.

Lao Xue walked over, followed by Daguang and Erqiang. When they got closer, they heard a villager whisper: "The leader is here."

"Are you villagers around here? What are you doing in the fields?" Lao Xue asked pleasantly.

"Yes, we are the villagers here, and this land belongs to our village. Are you the leader? We just have something to ask you." A dark-skinned, tall, and loud-speaking villager answered.

"Oh, hello everyone, we will be neighbors in the future. I am not the head of a government department, but this land was bought by our company. You may already know that a residential community will be developed here soon. I am just the head of the company's department.

"Lao Xue knew what the other party wanted from him, so he deliberately refused to answer.

"We don't care which unit you are the leader of, as long as you are a leader, we would like to ask, how should the compensation for the wells here be handled?"

"Compensation for the wells in the fields has nothing to do with us! We buy the land from the government and do not deal with the villagers. If you have any problems, please talk to the government departments."

"We don't know which department to talk to. We only know that whoever develops here should compensate us. The money is not much, only a few hundred yuan per household. Aren't you here to give us this matter?

Let’s solve it.”

Lao Xue shook his head helplessly, "Come to think of it, we should both be over sixty. Maybe you are a little older, so I have to call you brother. As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.

The sentence is not appropriate to use here, but the meaning is similar. We are now a society governed by the rule of law. We must speak and act reasonably and legally. Logically speaking, whoever expropriates your land should ask for compensation. Our company obtains compensation from the government department.

The purchase of these lands has nothing to do with you. We have already paid every penny of the money we should pay to the relevant departments. You have no reason to ask us for compensation."

"Your company is unwilling to compensate, and we don't know which department to talk to. According to your statement, is our motorized well lost in vain? But according to the policy, underground objects such as motorized wells are eligible for compensation." Another

A younger, middle-aged villager interjected.

"Since the motor shaft meets the conditions for compensation, wouldn't it be enough to include this clause in the land acquisition contract when the land was acquired, and compensate it together with the objects on the ground? Why do you only think of it now? And you have found the wrong person." Da Guang said at the side.

"On the one hand, I don't know whether the department that handled the land acquisition procedures was deliberately negligent or if they didn't understand it. On the other hand, the villagers were not familiar with the terms of the land acquisition. They took whatever they said and that's why this situation happened."

"Why do you suddenly think of this now?"

"Because we heard people outside mentioning this matter, we asked someone to check it out, and it turns out that's what the policy says."

"Despite the policy, this money really shouldn't come from development companies. Please don't embarrass us," Lao Xue said.

"What are you talking about? Making things difficult for you? No one cares about our losses. If you want to develop here, you should first compensate the villagers for their losses." Another middle-aged villager squeezed to the front of the crowd. It seemed that this man

He is a person who dares to speak up in the village.

"As mentioned many times in the previous exchanges, Changda Real Estate Company did not buy the land directly from you, and the compensation for the wells is not our responsibility. As for your losses, it really has nothing to do with us. Please understand this. Everyone can

Ask around, Changda Real Estate Company has a good reputation in the society, and we never cheat on anything that is our responsibility, but there is nothing we can do about matters that are not under our company's control." Lao Xue continued to talk kindly.

"No matter how nice you say it, if you don't compensate us for our losses, it's still zero. It's easy for us to understand. You have to take practical actions!"

Daguang couldn't stand what the villager said. He didn't listen to a word of Lao Xue's explanation. He just kept talking nonsense, "Brother, we are here today to have a calm conversation with everyone. The purpose is to find out the ins and outs of the matter."

, and find a solution to the problem. Mr. Xue just explained again and again why we are not responsible for this matter, I hope you can listen."

"What do you do? What if I can listen? What if I can't listen?" The villager didn't take Daguang seriously at all.

"I am an employee of Changda Real Estate Company. I am here to talk to you today with Mr.

, I will respect you. If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you either. Since it is a dialogue, it should be conducted on the premise of equality and mutual respect. No one needs to be arrogant.

"

"Hey, what you said makes perfect sense! Then let me ask you, how do we solve this matter?"

"Didn't we, Mr. Xue, tell you already? Changda Real Estate Company is not responsible for the compensation for the wells. It has nothing to do with us. We are sorry that we can't do anything about it."

"It has nothing to do with you? That's what you said! If you don't give me an explanation, do you believe that if you develop here in the future, I will make you unable to stop?"

"I believe it! If a person becomes a scoundrel, what can't he do?"

"Who are you calling a scoundrel?" The villager who spoke opposite was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.

"I didn't mention you by name, so why are you anxious? In terms of age, I should call you uncle. After listening to what you just said, I have to give you a few words of advice. You are in your sixties and are about to enter old age.

Don't be so arrogant when you talk and act. A hero doesn't mention how brave he was in the past, not to mention that he may not have been brave in the past. Just for a few hundred dollars, it's not something our company owes you. Are you going to make us stop? In addition, I want to remind you, Changda

Real Estate is a large real estate company. They once undertook the renovation of the old city of Huayuan City. They have seen too many people from all walks of life in the society. If you want to stop them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do so." Daguang's words,

Soft yet strong, even a warning.

Seeing that the conversation was getting more heated, other villagers immediately smoothed things over, saying, "We didn't mean that. Your company's development of real estate here is good for us."

Lao Xue didn't want a deadlock. He followed the words of other villagers and said, "That's right. Changda Real Estate will develop here. It won't take long for a new urban area with about 100,000 people to appear here. This will be very important to the surrounding villages."

The sales of agricultural and sideline products will be of great help. If you do some small business, the business will be booming. The idea this brother just had is really not appropriate."

“Mr.

"This... you've posed a problem for me!" Lao Xue knew that if he didn't tell the other party, the villagers would not be compensated for their losses. If he helped the villagers with ideas, he was afraid that it would spread to the relevant departments.
