"You call that Ye surnamed guy right now, and put him on speakerphone! No matter what, our village's money can't be earned by outsiders!" the village chief said.
"Hoo..."
Old Man Li was stunned.
What a good idea!
Taking a deep breath, he took out his phone and dialed Ye Yun's number.
Riverside.
Ye Yun, having finished dinner, was taking a walk with his wife and daughter.
This was his favorite activity recently.
A warm and peaceful family of three.
Suddenly.
His phone rang, it was Li Auntie's call.
Ye Yun was startled, but not surprised.
He excused himself and walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Hello, Auntie Li."
"Mr. Ye, hello, hello," Li Auntie said humbly.
"Hello, hello, what's up?" Ye Yun smiled.
However, before Li Auntie could speak, the phone line exploded.
"Give us the money!"
"You despicable capitalist, you tricked us out of our houses and land!"
"Give me back my hard-earned money!"
Ye Yun frowned and was about to hang up.
"Everyone be quiet, be quiet! Let me speak, let me speak!"
"Mr. Ye, I am the village chief of Gaohai Village." On the other end, after quickly calming the villagers, the village chief said.
"What?" Ye Yun was slightly displeased.
"Mr. Ye, it's like this. You bought our entire Gaohai Village a few days ago. We've all discussed it, and we don't want to sell our houses anymore. Can you return the houses and land to us? Don't worry, we'll return all the money you gave us, every penny." the village chief said.
"Village Chief, are you kidding me? We have it all in black and white, the official transfer procedures are all done, and the money has been paid to you in full. Gaohai Village, both legally and morally, belongs to me. What does it have to do with you now?" Ye Yun asked.
"Mr. Ye, your words don't make sense. Let's be frank, everyone knows that Hengda Group bought the land of Gaohai Village for 750 million yuan for the expansion of Jinling Metro Line 13," the village chief said, suppressing his anger.
"Oh, and then?" Ye Yun was indifferent.
"And then? What do you mean, 'and then'!! In a few days, you made over 600 million yuan. Do you think that's fair?" the village chief's voice grew louder.
"Fair? Why wouldn't it be? When I bought it, the metro hadn't announced the expansion, and Hengda had no intention of acquiring Gaohai Village. This is ultimately a matter of foresight. I had the foresight, so I made the money. You didn't have the foresight, so it's only right that you don't earn this money," Ye Yun said calmly.
"Think about it, when I offered that price, you were all eager to sell me your houses. Village Chief, if I remember correctly, you were standing under the banner and smiling brightly when I came over. As for Hengda's acquisition for 11 million yuan, I earned that myself and it has nothing to do with you."
"It's like if you buy a house and a week later the house appreciates by five million, would you give the developer money back? Since you bought it, you should have contractual spirit. Don't cry to the developer for compensation just because the house price falls.
"Village Chief, let me ask you one question. I bought your houses and land for 1.5 million yuan. If the metro line 13 hadn't been extended and Hengda hadn't acquired it, would you be willing to take the houses back?"
"Besides, even if you knew about the expansion of Jinling Metro Line 13, and Hengda wanted to expropriate your land, would you have the guts to ask for 11 million yuan?" Ye Yun retorted with a string of questions.
The village chief was speechless.
If it weren't for this interlude.
Return the houses?
Return what!
Money in hand wouldn't be given out!
If Hengda came to acquire.
Asking for eleven million yuan?
What a joke!
No matter how bold or greedy he was, it would be a miracle to ask for three million yuan.
To be honest, he still couldn't figure it out.
How did Hengda offer that price? Were they out of their minds?
Even if Metro Line 13 was extended to Gaohai Village.
But this place was at the very edge of Jinling, just a few steps away from Jiangzhen City.
Ordinary demolition compensation was only around 2 million yuan.
Where did 11 million yuan come from?
"But we're not satisfied with this price!" Unable to argue with Ye Yun, the village chief said angrily!
"Then what do you want?" Ye Yun smiled.
To be honest, he wasn't surprised they called him.
After all, it wasn't strange for these villagers to know about Metro Line 13.
The official announcement had just been made.
In fact, this time his profit was high enough that he had considered giving some subsidies to the villagers.
It wouldn't be impossible to give each family 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Although in his past life, Hengda Group compensated each family 800,000 yuan when they acquired Gaohai Village.
Even though the villagers of Gaohai Village later refused and made a fuss for a long time, Hengda still didn't budge.
It wasn't that Hengda lacked the money and was stingy.
It was that such a precedent could not be set.
If everyone acted like these villagers in the future, could Hengda continue its business?
Doing business requires rules.
As he said before, Ye Yun was not Hengda, and he had to be a decent person.
Therefore, Ye Yun had offered a high price of 1.5 million yuan from the start.
Even if the news of the metro line spread and his profit was high enough, he wouldn't mind giving them a little more.
"Mr. Ye, if you're not giving back the houses, you need to pay us!" the village chief said.
"How much do you want?" Ye Yun asked playfully.
"Six million! We know it's your skill to sell them for eleven million, so you earn 3.5 million per house! The rest should be returned to us villagers. These are houses left by our ancestors..." the village chief said.
However, before he could finish, someone nearby exploded.
"Village Chief, six million is not enough! At least eight million! This guy is just a con artist. What business does he have with our houses? At most, give him a million or so as a labor fee per house!"
"Exactly, giving them over a million per house is already us being benevolent!"
These words also echoed the sentiments of almost all the villagers.
After all, Ye Yun hadn't paid anything.
He wanted to take away 3.5 million or even 9.5 million per house?
What a joke!
It was just that they forgot, whether morally or legally, Gaohai Village belonged to Ye Yun!
Giving them money was a favor!
Not giving it was their right!
Just like Hengda Group in his past life, they didn't give a dime, and what could be done?
Even if you sue them to heaven, you wouldn't be in the right.
Hearing this, Ye Yun's face turned cold.
Was this pushing their luck too far?
Six million?
Eight million?
Were they crazy!
"Heh heh... Six million, eight million... These are your own words, and you dare to say them! To tell you the truth, I won't give you a single cent. Find whoever you want!" Ye Yun sneered.
Then he directly hung up the phone and blocked the calls from the Li couple.
As expected...
Human greed is insatiable!
Others wouldn't treat your kindness as a favor.
Instead, they would think it was your obligation!
It was deserved, something you owed them!
Business should be business.
Some lines cannot be crossed!
Ye Yun's attitude made the other side explode directly.
"He hung up? That scumbag actually hung up!"
"Call, keep calling! We must get through to him today!"
For a moment, the crowd was enraged, and their angry roars almost shook the ceiling off.
