"Yes, of course..." the villagers happily replied. Where could they find such a good opportunity? It could be said that once the bamboo was planted, there would be nothing else to worry about; every year at the end of the year, they would just wait to share the profits. Anyone who disagreed would be a fool.
Chen Haoxuan waved his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet. He spoke again, "This is the first plan I have for leading everyone to wealth. Now that the first plan is done and you all agree, let's talk about the second plan. My second plan is for Chen Family Village to build a few more reservoirs. First, we can raise fish; second, it will make it easier to irrigate the fields down in the valley. We can also plant some bamboo by the reservoir and raise some Chickens, Ducks, and Pigs. The manure from these animals can be used as food for the fish in the reservoir, so we won't have to feed them every day.
You should have heard about the few mountain ponds I contracted before, right? I'm not afraid of making you envious; I'll tell you directly that I made over one hundred thousand Renminbi from raising fish in those ponds for three years. Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without my investment and Chen Shugen's management, so raising fish is indeed profitable.
To manage this better, I am determined to establish a company that will be managed by all of you, and of course, the funds will come from everyone as well. You can recommend trustworthy individuals to be the manager of this company. If you think someone can manage it well, please speak up and suggest their name, except for me and Chen Yuebin."
The villagers began discussing again but took a long time without anyone mentioning a name. At this moment, Village Committee member Chen Baojiang stood up and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, I think our Village Committee should take charge of the management! After all, our mission is to ensure that villagers live well."
Chen Haoxuan smiled lightly and replied, "Is that so? But how come I heard that last year when Dashan Reservoir released water, many farmers were flooded? Dashan Reservoir promised compensation; other villagers received varying amounts of compensation, but what about us in Chen Family Village? Can anyone who received compensation raise their hand?"
As a result, no one raised their hand because they had not received anything. Everyone knew about this issue but no one dared to approach the Village Committee for fear of being ostracized.
The members of the Village Committee lowered their heads awkwardly; they had already divided up that money among themselves.
"No one raised their hand means no villager received compensation from Dashan Reservoir. What is going on here? Is it possible that Dashan Reservoir did not compensate us for our losses? If Dashan Reservoir did not compensate us, then you members of the Village Committee should handle it. If Dashan Reservoir did compensate but you kept it for yourselves, then you have failed in your duties. Regardless of which situation it is, you have no right to manage the company I proposed." Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"Right! We don't want these hypocritical people from the Village Committee managing us; they only take our money and never do anything..." The villagers protested angrily one after another.
Chen Baojiang sat down with his head lowered in shame and did not dare to look up. They had already spent all that money; they couldn't produce such a large sum now. To avoid having villagers compare what they took from Dashan Reservoir back then, they obediently kept silent. In fact, their corruption extended beyond just Dashan Reservoir's funds; they had contracted out village mountains or ponds used for irrigation to others and even cut down Pine Trees on the mountain to sell to lumber mills... All the profits went into their own pockets.
Chen Xiumin's mother sat next to Li Ping and tugged at her sleeve with a smile saying, "Sister Ping, why don't you take on this manager role? After all, your family has a talent for holding high positions. Look at your future son-in-law; he’s a Billionaire with countless companies. And then look at your husband; he currently leads over fifty subordinates. Your daughter is a college student who will definitely help Haoxuan manage the company after graduation—she will also be in charge of things. Your son is Haoxuan's brother-in-law too; he will surely become an important figure in the future as well. So it's very fitting for you to be this manager."
Li Ping pointed at her own nose and said, "Me? I can't do it. I only know how to wash clothes and cook. Managing a company would be the end of me."
Chen Xiumin didn't care about that. She stood up and loudly said to Chen Haoxuan, "I think Li Ping is the most suitable person to be the manager of this company."
When Chen Xiumin's Mother said this, it caused quite a stir. All the villagers began to say that Li Ping should be the manager. For the villagers, this was definitely a good thing because, after all, Li Ping was also Chen Haoxuan's future mother-in-law. Therefore, Chen Haoxuan would surely support Li Ping. With Chen Haoxuan's support, the company would definitely earn a lot of money for everyone.
"Aunt Ping, will you agree to be the manager?" Chen Haoxuan asked Li Ping, who was sitting below.
Li Ping stood up and hesitantly said, "I... I'm afraid I won't do well." Who wouldn't want to manage? Li Ping was no exception; she also wanted to achieve something like her husband and live an extraordinary life.
Chen Haoxuan could see that Li Ping wanted to be the manager, so he spoke up, "Alright, it's decided then. From now on, Li Ping will be our manager. Now that we have chosen a manager, we still need to decide on a name for our company. This won't do. I will take charge and name the company Chen Agricultural Company. A company can't just have one manager; it also needs various positions. I propose a few: Chen Shugen will be responsible for fish farming in the future. Whatever he says regarding fish farming, everyone must follow."
"For raising chickens and ducks, I suggest letting Chen Xing take charge. The rest will be determined by you all. You can refer to people like Chen Shugen and Chen Xing as consultants from now on."
The meeting lasted a long time and ended only around noon. After it concluded, every villager wore a smile on their face, knowing that their prosperous days were approaching. However, about ten people had grim faces; those were the members of the Village Committee. They could not get involved in Chen Agricultural Company, which was unfortunate for them. Moreover, the villagers of Chen Family Village now despised them, which was greatly unfavorable for them!
The next day, Chen Haoxuan led all the villagers of Chen Family Village up the mountain to build a reservoir. It was easy for Chen Family Village to construct a reservoir because there were many hills around. They just needed to dig some soil from both sides of the mountain and then pour cement on top of it to create the reservoir. Some people went up the mountain to dig wild bamboo shoots and planted them by the river or near the reservoir; others went to gather firewood or dig soil... Everyone was clear about their tasks assigned by Chen Haoxuan. It wouldn't be long before the people of Chen Family Village would live a good life.
