Seeing Niu Ming leave, Chen Yang immediately headed to the village office.

It was already afternoon by then, and Chen Yang thought Wu Kexin would be at the village office.

But when he reached the village office, he found out that the office door was locked.

"It's afternoon and she still isn't back. Did she encounter some problem?"

Chen Yang was a bit puzzled, so he picked up his phone and called Wu Kexin to ask where she was.

"Chen Yang, I'm currently at Xiashan Village discussing land investment issues with Village Head Ma," Wu Kexin replied.

"You're still negotiating. Is there a problem?"

Chen Yang asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin didn't immediately respond. After a moment of silence, she spoke.

"Yes, there are some issues, and I'm discussing them with Village Head Ma and the others."

Upon hearing there was a problem, Chen Yang said, "Okay, I'll come over to understand the situation. Wait for me."

"Alright."

Wu Kexin didn't refuse when she heard Chen Yang was coming.

After hanging up, Chen Yang immediately ran towards Xiashan Village.

Xiashan Village wasn't far from Liuhua Village, just a few hundred meters away.

Chen Yang arrived at Xiashan Village's office within a few minutes.

The village office building of Xiashan Village was similar to that of Liuhua Village, not particularly good, but not particularly bad either.

A simple two-story brick building with basic decorations.

Chen Yang arrived at the village office and went straight to the meeting room on the second floor.

Upon entering the meeting room, Chen Yang immediately saw Wu Kexin and several village heads present.

They were all old acquaintances, so there was no need for formality upon meeting.

"Yang Zi, you're here. Have a seat, have a seat," said Village Head Ma of Xiashan Village when he saw Chen Yang, standing up swiftly to offer him a seat.

Chen Yang smiled and sat down without ceremony.

"Village heads, is there any difficulty regarding the investment? If you have any issues, just say it directly. I'm here to solve problems and answer questions."

Since they were all old acquaintances, Chen Yang didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

His purpose today was to resolve the investment issue.

The village heads were momentarily surprised by Chen Yang's straightforwardness, exchanged glances, and then Village Head Ma smiled and spoke first: "Haha, Yang Zi, it's not exactly that we have difficulties with the investment, but there are some differing opinions within the village."

This morning, Village Head Wu also gave us a rough overview of your investment model. We basically understand it, but land is a major issue concerning livelihoods, and no one dares to make decisions lightly.

Village Head Ma's speech was echoed by the other village heads around.

They expressed that land is a major livelihood issue not to be taken lightly, and the main problem is that they don't have a concept of making a profit from this investment company.

It's hard for everyone to invest their land without seeing the benefits.

Hearing Village Head Ma's speech, Chen Yang naturally understood the meaning behind it.

Just as he was about to address those issues, Village Head Ma spoke again.

"By the way, Yang Zi, there is something else regarding the land that I need to tell you," Village Head Ma suddenly remembered something.

So Chen Yang paused his prepared speech and asked, "What's up? Is there another issue?"

"Just yesterday, someone from the Gu Family came to the village as well, talking about acquiring our land, offering quite a compensation, almost six to seven hundred thousand per family," said Village Head Ma.

"Yesterday someone from the Gu Family came?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was genuinely surprised and didn't expect the Gu Family to act so quickly, not only wanting to buy the land he owned but also planning to preemptively buy the land in Xiashan Village.

"Oh! It's true! It seems like someone came to our village yesterday as well. Back then, I didn't take it seriously, but hearing you say this, I remember. Indeed, that happened," after Village Head Ma spoke, the other village heads recalled and expressed that similar events had occurred in their village as well.

Realizing the Gu Family's plan to acquire land in the villages around Liuhua Village, Chen Yang saw that the land investment issue was indeed urgent.

If the Gu Family managed to secure villages around Liuhua Village first, he would lose a significant amount of leverage.

Realizing this, Chen Yang made up his mind.

Today, by any means necessary, he needed to reach a consensus with these village heads to agree on land investment.

Otherwise, the situation would become very complex.

Chen Yang silently pondered for over ten seconds and did not rush to answer the village heads' questions but instead asked for their views on the matter.

"Dear village heads! What are your thoughts on the Gu Family's acquisition?" Chen Yang asked while looking at them.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's question, the village heads remained silent for a while and eventually, Village Head Ma spoke first.

"We think that land matters are major issues that need to be carefully considered before making any decision, whether it's the Gu Family's acquisition or Yang Zi's land investment. We must focus on the fundamental interests of the villagers," Village Head Ma responded formally.

After he spoke, the other village heads also expressed similar sentiments to Village Head Ma.

Emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the villagers' interests and not making hasty decisions.

"Yang Zi, honestly speaking, we all trust you and are more willing to support you, but with the Gu Family offering millions for the acquisition, I estimate the villagers might be more inclined to sell the land to the Gu Family."

After all the village heads spoke, Village Head Ma added this point.

Even though it wasn't said very tactfully, it was the truth.

Faced with millions and empty shares, most people would choose immediate gains.

Although Chen Yang held prestige locally, it didn't mean people were willing to give up millions to join his investment.

Chen Yang understood these reasons very well.

"Village Head Ma, I understand everything you've said. Today, I asked Kexin to gather everyone here to explain the pros and cons to you, and also to let you understand my true intention for wanting you to invest," Chen Yang nodded and said.

Upon hearing Chen Yang, Village Head Ma and the others understood what Chen Yang was aiming for and looked at him, eagerly awaiting his speech.

And Chen Yang didn't hesitate, standing up and sharing the real situation with everyone in the meeting room.

He first conveyed the major policy from above verbatim.

He explained the plan to develop a high-level tourist area near Liuhua Village, and this served as the reason for initiating his company and having them invest.
