Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 117 General Assembly

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Early in the morning, the brigade's loudspeaker announced that all villagers were required to go to the square for a meeting.

The villagers were not surprised to hear this. After all, they had gradually learned in the past few days that the brigade wanted to build a breeding farm.

Many villagers have already discussed privately at home whether to deny the shares.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I'm sure everyone knows what the reason for calling everyone here today is."

Looking at the villagers gathered below talking, Zhang Jianguo cleared his throat and spoke.

"Since everyone knows, I won't waste any more words. Today's main topic is about the subscription of shares in the farm. Now I will explain to you how to subscribe for shares."

"Accountant Zhang has been busy for the past two days, calculating the costs of building the farm, including materials and the later cost of purchasing chicks. Excluding the wood and bricks currently available to the brigade, another 300 yuan will be needed. Of this 300 yuan, the brigade will contribute 120 yuan, representing a 40% stake. The remaining 60%, or 180 yuan, is tentatively priced at 1 yuan per share. Currently, these shares are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. As the farm develops, this may not be the case again."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the people below began to whisper.

"Hey, do you think this is reliable? What if it fails? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

"My goodness, this is one dollar a share, and we don't make much money this year."

"You guys, this farm hasn't even been seen yet. If they ask for our money, will they try to cheat us?"

The villagers below were discussing this, and the team leader did not stop them. As long as it involved money, it was a big deal, and it would definitely take time for people to think it over.

"Jianguo, how much money is your family prepared to pay?" The old branch secretary took a look at the situation below and asked Zhang Jianguo.

"I'll see what the situation is. If Murakami agrees to a lot, I'll agree to a smaller amount. If everyone agrees to a smaller amount, I'll agree to a larger amount." Zhang Jianguo didn't directly say how many shares he would agree to. After all, he had made up his mind to agree to a larger amount if not many people agreed to it.

"You're right. I don't know how many people can subscribe to the shares. To be honest, I have no idea." The old branch secretary also knew what Zhang Jianguo meant. To be honest, he had no idea either, but his family would definitely subscribe to the shares.

After the two talked for a while, they silently looked at the villagers in the square and stopped talking.

Time passed silently. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Jianguo picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting.

"It's getting late, and if everyone doesn't have any other ideas, let's start subscribing."

As soon as Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, the villagers below began to ask questions.

"Captain, it's not that we have too much to do, it's just that we're unsure! We don't know if we can make any money in the end, and what if we lose money?"

As soon as Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, a villager below couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, Captain, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that this is a lot of money. If you lose it, it will all be wasted."

"Jianguo, is this reliable? This is not a small amount of money."

"Yes, Captain, this..."

After someone spoke, villagers began to ask questions one after another, and the scene became noisy for a while.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I know everyone's unsure about the farm, but I can tell you responsibly that Zhiqing Qiao has compiled all the breeding plans into a booklet, and he'll be there to help out when the time comes. Zhiqing Lin has already found a sales channel for us, so we, the brigade leaders, are fully confident about the farm."

Zhang Jianguo said this not only to comfort the people in the village, but also to establish an image for Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue in front of the villagers, so that there would not be so many people gossiping about the two of them when they help in the farm in the future.

When the villagers below heard that everything had been arranged, some of them who were worried felt relieved.

"Hey, you said everything is already arranged, isn't this just about making money?"

"Come on, if it's really a good thing, how could it happen to us?"

"You're not right. Don't you know what kind of person our captain is? If he really had selfish motives, he wouldn't have told us this."

"Tsk, anyway, my family won't get involved in this matter. If the money ends up going down the drain, don't blame me for not warning you."

The person who said this was Li Ergou. Ever since his daughter Li Xinghua stole Zhang Wan's fiancé, Li Ergou felt that the captain's family had been targeting them. So now, he didn't believe Zhang Jianguo's proposal at all, and from time to time he would stir up trouble in the crowd.

Li Ergou thought that no one knew what he had done, but he didn't know that anyone in the village who was not completely stupid would ignore him. It was not because of his family's sins, but because this family was not a family that knew how to be grateful.

When Li Ergou saw that everyone around him stopped talking after he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was effective, and then he went to other people proudly and started lobbying.

But Li Ergou didn't know that as soon as he left, people around him started to cricket at him.

"I really don't know what this guy is so proud of. He gave birth to such a daughter, but he still acts like a big shot every day."

"Okay, those who want to subscribe for shares can go to Accountant Zhang to register." Seeing that the people below were still talking in groups of three or four, Zhang Jianguo shouted out.

After saying that, Zhang Jianguo went straight to Accountant Zhang to pay the fee and register. This time, Zhang Jianguo initially pledged 20 shares, thinking his son would have 5 shares, his daughter would have 5 shares, and the couple would have 10 shares. He pledged this much initially, and if there were any gaps later, he would pledge more.

Then other cadres in the brigade began to subscribe for shares. The old branch secretary had 10 shares, and Accountant Zhang also had 10 shares. Later, other cadres began to subscribe, with you having 5 shares and me having 3 shares.

In the end, the entire brigade subscribed to 65 shares, leaving 115 shares vacant.

Seeing that the cadres of the brigade had started to subscribe, the villagers below also began to walk up to Accountant Zhang one after another and start subscribing.

The first one to come up was Song Jianshe. Zhang Jianguo was a little surprised to see him come up first. Ever since the incident with the fake Old Song, the Old Song family's presence in the brigade has been low. But he didn't expect that this time, Song Jianshe would be the first to come up.
