In the following days, the Chu Family conducted some business talks with Ji Yang and then signed a contract.
Of course, Ji Yang signed the contract under his mother’s name.
Ji Yang called the Wu Family and told them about it, even bringing them to the county town to sign the contract.
To the Wu Family, they weren’t even opposed to this, but rather quite willing. When signing the contract, the Chu Family directly gave them five million yuan, hinting at a purchase of their technology.
With the money, several people in the village still possessed that technology, so the Wu Family didn’t lose out.
Those skilled in the technology were also summoned here, each receiving a sum of money and some shares, effectively binding them to the Chu Family’s company.
This time, the Chu Family’s investment was substantial, amounting to an investment of ten billion yuan.
Ji Yang was startled when he heard of such an investment. Knowing he owned five percent of the shares, he hadn’t done anything, and he had already pocketed fifty million yuan.
Chu Shuyuan saw Ji Yang’s reaction and chuckled, "This ten billion yuan investment was brought in by my efforts to attract business. It counts as my achievement, so you can’t take credit for this one. However, once I get promoted, you will definitely benefit."
"I’ve already made a fortune, so the achievement doesn’t matter!"
Chu Shuyuan laughed, "It’s not like you don’t have any achievements. You’ve been working in Wushu Village, so you definitely have your own achievements."
In this case, the Chu Family appeared very generous.
Ji Yang knew this was all Chu Shuyuan’s doing, but he didn’t know exactly what she had done.
As for the hot spring and waterfall, after discussions, they decided that a tourism company controlled by the Chu Family in the provincial city would handle their unified development, creating a new company. This company would encompass the hot spring and waterfall projects, including Huang Yu’s Peach Blossom Source and Qian Wan’s Black Mud Festival.
The Wu Family Sisters followed the Chu Family folks to learn management, and they continued to manage the hot spring and waterfall projects.
Everyone benefitted in this whole affair, and Ji Yang especially gained a great deal, having some shares in every project.
"Sis, why is the Chu Family so lenient towards me?"
"For the Chu Family, this investment isn’t much. I just tried my best,"
Chu Shuyuan said indifferently, but Ji Yang could see she had definitely done a lot regarding this matter.
Forget it, no more questions!
Ji Yang didn’t want to inquire further.
Chu Shuyuan looked at Ji Yang, "Don’t underestimate that rice wine. The interests involved are immense. An investment of ten billion might seem a lot, but if the unique properties of the rice wine could be researched and developed, the profits would be enormous."
Ji Yang also knew this was the case, which is why he knew neither the Wu Family nor himself could hold onto such lucrative benefits.
"Alright, once these affairs conclude, the Chu Family’s investment will proceed. Additionally, the construction of the highway must also start. Qingyuan Village will soon enter a rapid development phase; you should go back and make some preparations."
Ji Yang nodded slightly.
When he returned to the village, Ji Yang was quite surprised by the significant changes.
Seeing Ji Yang returning, Yan Xingshun asked, "How is Wushu Village doing?"
Ji Yang had discreetly traveled to the county town to discuss those matters, and everyone thought he had stayed in Wushu Village.
Ji Yang knew that their undercover struggles had turned overt, and now both sides were fiercely competing, with no one managing his affairs. Fresh chapters posted on novel⦿fire.net
"Wushu Village is developing well. Secretary Yan, whenever you have time, please come over to give us some guidance."
"I’ll surely visit when I have the time. I heard quite a lot of building materials were shipped there."
"Yes, the construction is progressing fast. After the county allocated one million yuan for developing their rice wine, Secretary Chu helped with the marketing, and indeed, they made some money, which was then reinvested into the village’s development."
"Hmm, you’re doing well."
Ji Yang knew he wasn’t very concerned about Wushu Village.
Then, He Chengjun came over and smiled, "Mr. Ji Yang is back, and you’ve gotten quite tanned, haha."
"I just saw the real estate development here; it’s quite extensive."
"Haha, the overall construction is impressive, thanks also to your few million yuan investment."
"I’m just waiting to make some money."
He Chengjun then said, "Your timing is perfect, there are some adjustments needed among the village departments’ staff. It’s been a long time since we had a leadership meeting; I think we should have one."
This statement made Yan Xingshun’s expression darken a bit, as this was supposed to be his domain, but He Chengjun had spoken out directly, making it awkward for him.
Ji Yang said, "I’ve always been at Wushu Village and haven’t paid enough attention to the affairs here, please forgive me."
"You’re in a special situation; I hear Wushu Village is also being developed well," said Yan Xingshun.
At this moment, they felt it was necessary to win Ji Yang over.
He Chengjun said, "Recently, Secretary Huang has also been frequently in the village, you all are doing well."
Ji Yang smiled, "Has Secretary Huang returned?"
"Not yet, but I will notify her to come back soon. Some matters need to be discussed at the meeting before proceeding."
"Alright, I’ll be around here for a while."
Ji Yang knew that the purpose of the meeting was to further showcase He Chengjun’s power, guessing he probably brought some people to his side again.
In this regard, Yan Xingshun was indeed weaker than He Chengjun.
