Chapter 268: Rich people can really do whatever they want
Chairman Hu, who is wealthy and has no shortage of money, spent the entire morning reviewing the sales contracts because he bought so much land.
When it was almost noon, Jiang Tian called the branch at the Foreign Languages University and asked them to send over 30 fast food meals.
When a tricycle appeared in the town government compound in the heavy rain, dragging three layers of large insulated boxes, the visual effect was extremely shocking.
Seeing that everyone in the conference room was dumbfounded, Jiang Tian, the marketing expert, took the opportunity to take out a dozen handwritten advertisements from his schoolbag and happily put them up on the spot.
"Hello bosses, did you see this? From now on, when it's raining and windy, if you want to eat our fast food, you don't have to run to the store in the rain to eat. Just make a phone call and order fast food at home~"
Seeing this small handwritten advertisement, the residents who were being relocated couldn't help but tease Jiang Tian:
"Tiantian, your family is so rich, why do you still need to handwrite an advertisement? This is so troublesome. You might as well go to the printing factory and print tens of thousands of copies. Then put them in our store and we will help you distribute them."
Huh? Help her send out takeout orders? That's possible!
But forget about going to the printing house.
It's not that Jiang Tian is stingy and reluctant to spend the money, but because -
"My dear uncles and aunts, you have misunderstood me. I made these handwritten advertisements not to save money, but to help others make some money."
As she spoke, Jiang Tian picked out a few advertisements with different handwriting from a pile of advertisements and showed them to them.
"I asked some poor students from the village primary schools in our town to copy these flyers."
"I paid for the copying paper and pen ink. All they had to do was help copy it."
"You get two cents for each copy. If you copy fifty copies a day, you can earn one dollar."
"Children in the countryside, especially those from poor families, should have heard that sometimes they can't even afford a few cents to buy notebooks and ink, and the children would write their homework on the back cover of a notebook."
"Although I earn hard-earned money by copying advertisements, it is better than asking them to pick up broken glass or waste paper. They don't have to be exposed to the wind and rain, and they can practice their calligraphy at the same time."
"I told them that I don't want any handwriting that's too ugly."
"I heard that many naughty children in village primary schools are practicing calligraphy with all their might, even more enthusiastically than when their teachers chased them to practice calligraphy. Haha~ I'm not forcing them to practice."
The other residents who were being relocated looked at her in silence.
This trick you use is much cooler than the teacher chasing them with a ruler while they practice writing.
The teacher asked students to practice calligraphy but didn't pay them. Instead, the students had to spend their own money to buy notebooks, ink, pens, etc.
Boss Xiao Jiang lets students practice calligraphy. Not only are the notebooks and pens free, but it also allows those naughty kids to earn some pocket money. If they could have such a good thing when they were young, they would have broken their pens by writing so much!
Jiang Tian's original intention was to attract some new customers for the "takeaway business" of the Foreign Languages University branch.
Unexpectedly, her small "handwritten advertisement charity project" was even more popular than her own boxed lunches.
There were several people on the spot who, like their family, also opened shops along the provincial road and said that when their new shops were built and opened, they would ask these "little copyists" to help them copy some small advertisements or something.
"That's great. Let me thank all the bosses on behalf of my classmates. If anyone needs to copy an advertisement, just come to me." Jiang Tian moved the lunch box to the table with a smile.
"My dear uncles and aunts, you are all my old neighbors. When the provincial road is widened in the future, we will open shops on both sides of this road and be neighbors. Today, I will treat you all to a simple meal. I don't have anything else at home, but I will provide you with boxed lunches!"
After saying this, Jiang Tian felt embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, people in this era are still very simple and honest.
The word "boxed lunch" only means "fast food".
Unlike decades later, those who set up stalls selling boxed lunches on the street dare not say that they are selling boxed lunches, for fear of being misunderstood as "giving away boxed lunches". If the boxed lunches are not sold, not only will they be beaten up, but even passers-by will not sympathize with them.
You tell me! I was walking on the street and someone stopped me and asked: Boss, do you want a box lunch?
How unlucky!
If I don’t hit you, who should I hit?
…
Now it is different. Jiang Tian invited a group of people who were being relocated, as well as the staff who helped them with the paperwork, to come and get their lunch boxes. Everyone was very happy and thanked her.
After all, Chairman Hu's boxed lunches are so popular nowadays that not only in Shuangfeng Town, but even many veteran drivers who often drive on Provincial Highway 336 will come here at mealtime to have a meal.
After dinner, continue with the formalities.
Those who stayed here in the afternoon to sign contracts and go through formalities were similar to Jiang Tian's family. They all made money by doing business along Provincial Highway 336 in recent years and wanted to take the opportunity to leave more inheritance for their descendants.
Thirty years later, every family in towns and villages will have one piece of residential land, and there will not be any more. It is not like now. As long as you have money and take advantage of a big project like widening of a provincial road, there will be chaos everywhere and the supervision from above is not strict. Towns and villages also want to take the opportunity to make some money and get a few more residential land, which is not difficult.
Otherwise, how can we say that this area of Provincial Highway 336 has always been a place of hidden talents?
If the house hadn't been demolished, Jiang Tian wouldn't have known that there were so many rich people secretly hiding among their neighbors!
The man who drives a passenger bus in the town has three brothers and three buses. The passenger bus routes from Shuangfeng Town to the countryside are almost monopolized by their family.
This time, when the provincial road was demolished and expanded, because their family had so many people, they actually bought more than 30 pieces of land at once!
Although they are not particularly large, his grandfather said that when the family is divided up in the future, each of his three sons and grandchildren will be able to get at least a piece of residential land.
"My granddaughter too?" Everyone else was stunned.
The old man was very arrogant: "Why can't I have granddaughters? My family will build houses for my two granddaughters in the future. They won't marry, but only take in sons-in-law!"
Others: “…”
It turns out that rich people can really do whatever they want~
There was also the couple who sold pork in the town. Jiang Tian had seen that they were wearing tattered clothes and had three children at home, so she thought that their family was not well off. She even picked out a lot of clothes that she could not wear and gave them to their two daughters.
As a result, during this demolition, their family actually bought five pieces of land at once!
Including the compensation the town gave them, their family suddenly had six pieces of land.
When someone asked him why he bought so much, the pork seller just smiled.
"I have three daughters in my family. I plan to recruit two sons-in-law and let them kill pigs for me!"
"He's willing to be our son-in-law, we can't let him rent a house on his own, right?"
After he said this, the other two bosses who only had daughters and no sons at home couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Did they buy too little?
Hu Qiongfang was originally worried that the land she bought was too much and might be too conspicuous.
As it turned out, there were many people in the town who were more conspicuous than her...
