Chapter 504 Public Enemy
After an afternoon of repeated discussions, Zhang Yunqi and the village party secretaries of eight villages in Qiaoku Town reached a cooperation intention to jointly promote the large-scale lotus and shrimp breeding base project in Qiaoku Town. The prerequisite is that the eight village collectives need to recover the 1250 acres of land purchased by Zhicheng Industrial Group through cancellation of contracts and other means.

On December 1995, 12, the eight administrative villages in Qiaokuo Town jointly issued a "Notice on the Abolition of 23 Rural Land Contract Management Rights Transfer Agreements in Qiaokuo Town" to Zhicheng Industry.

It’s not termination, it’s abolition!

As for the reason, the legal department of Liansheng Group wrote a very professional notice on behalf of the villages in Qiaokou Town: "The land transfer contract signed privately between Zhicheng Industry and farmers has not been approved and publicized by the villages in Qiaokou Town, which owns all the rights to the above-mentioned land. It does not comply with the provisions of the newly revised "Land Management Law" in 1988 that "the right to use collectively owned land can be transferred according to law with the consent of the village collective and after public announcement." It is a private transfer behavior and is invalid and should be abolished!"

When Qiao Zhiwu received this notice, he was hosting a banquet for Liu Mingde at the Jinxin Hotel.

He knew that Liu Mingde, a Hong Kong businessman, was also a well-known figure in Lijin. He operated several large commercial real estate projects in the city and was deeply trusted by the city government. Therefore, the city gave him the largest Qingwu Street development project in Lijin to manage, but now this project seems to have encountered problems.

Liu Mingde didn't say what the specific problem was, and Qiao Zhiwu didn't care. He only needed to know that Liu Mingde had problems with his capital chain. Now that financial institutions were tightening their credit, Liu Mingde wanted to engage in private financing, so there was room for cooperation between them.

Qiao Zhiwu has always been happy to do loan business.

Liu Mingde brought a female companion to this dinner, who was very beautiful, tall, with long legs, long hair and a very elegant temperament. Liu Mingde introduced the girl to Qiao Zhiwu with a smile, saying that she was an art student at Xiangnan Normal University, a freshman this year, and her name was Lin Lin. He also said proudly that he had recently recommended Lin Lin to Hong Kong director Xu Jiang, who had taken on a youth idol drama with considerable investment, and she would definitely be popular and become a big star sooner or later.

Lin Lin had a smile on her face and a gentle expression.

Qiao Zhiwu swallowed his saliva, then glanced at the fat and big-eared Liu Mingde, and suddenly felt like all the cabbages were eaten by pigs. What a world! He smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is alone in Lijin to run a big business. I thought you might miss home. It seems that I thought too much. With such a beautiful woman and a big star accompanying you, I'm afraid you've already enjoyed it and don't want to leave."

Liu Mingde laughed and said in his poor Hong Kong Mandarin: "That's an exaggeration, Mr. Qiao Sanye. I know you are a doctoral student at Xiangtan University. Others first study for a bachelor's degree, then a master's degree, and finally a doctorate. But you are different. You went straight to a doctorate and then did a bachelor's and master's degree."

The dirty joke made Lin Lin, who was standing next to him, blush. Qiao Zhiwu was dazed by the look. He was about to open his mouth to respond when a staff member from Zhicheng Industry came in.

The staff member whispered a few words in Qiao Zhiwu's ear, and then handed him the "Notice on the Abolition of 358 Rural Land Contract Management Rights Transfer Agreements in Qiaokou Town".

After reading it, Qiao Zhiwu was stunned for a moment, then thought it was too fucking funny! He stretched out his hand and crumpled the notice into a ball and threw it directly into the trash can.

He didn't even take the village party secretaries seriously.

The eight village party secretaries of Qiaoku Town had long known that Qiao Zhiwu would not take their request for cancellation of the contract seriously and did not care. The next day, the legal department of Liansheng Group drafted a request for cancellation of the contract and sent it directly to the Qiaoku Town Government, Wangcheng Government and the District Agricultural Bureau.

This is called procedural correctness.

Not surprisingly, the Wangcheng Agricultural Bureau, the competent department, immediately rejected the request of the eight administrative villages in Qiaokou Town to cancel the contract, and required the eight administrative villages in Qiaokou Town to continue to perform the contracts that had already been signed, and instructed them to stamp the village collective approval seal on the existing 358 contracts and make them public! In order to complete the legal procedures for the transfer of the land.

On the same day, Qiaoku Town Mayor Liao Jian summoned all the Party secretaries of the eight villages and scolded them, forbidding them to mention the abolition of the contract again.

After a few rounds of this, the situation has become very clear. Qiao Zhiwu is fearless, and the town and several competent departments are clearly biased towards Zhicheng Industry. This group of people are obviously united, and there is no use in reasoning with them or writing a report!

Strictly speaking, these village party secretaries in Qiaokou Town are not cadres, nor do they have administrative ranks. They are not on the payroll and do not leave their jobs. Their subsidies in the 1990s were also extremely low. The main benefit is that they can frequently negotiate with the town government, thus having a greater voice in the village collective, and secondly, they can be the first to obtain the country's agricultural benefit policies. Now that Zhang Yunqi has offered such good conditions, the village cadres seem to be less attractive, but under the huge pressure from the town and the Wangcheng authorities, they dare not openly oppose it.

After leaving the town government, several village party secretaries who had been scolded privately discussed and reported to Zhang Yunqi. Zhang Yunqi asked them to spread the news in various villages and publicize two things:

First, Liansheng Group promised to continue to promote the large-scale lotus shrimp breeding base in Qiaokou Town, expanding the area from 10 mu to 1 mu. The project is divided into two phases, but the land transfer is implemented at one time. At the same time, Liansheng Group provides 3% of the village collective management fees and cooperates in establishing village-run enterprises for the eight village collectives. On January after New Year's Day, Liansheng Group will sign an investment agreement with the eight village collectives in Qiaokou Town. It is not a framework agreement, but a substantive investment agreement with legal effect!
All villagers can participate at that time.

As soon as the news spread, the eight villages in Qiaokou Town were in a state of excitement! It seemed that the Liansheng Group, which had returned, was serious this time. The Liansheng Group brought funds, talents, technology, resources, and a new development model to make a big splash in Qiaokou Town!
Big granaries are emerging and small granaries are flowing. These peasants, who are from the countryside, only need to invest in land and labor to earn dividends from the land, dividends from village-run enterprises and labor wages. Just like the now famous Yunxi Village, the fire is just around the corner!

In the past six months, many villagers have learned about the situation of the richest village in southern Hunan, where every family lives in a big villa, from the TV news. Today, Yunxi Village is so beautiful that it is often on the news of the provincial TV station! It is hard for them not to see it. Naturally, they know that Yunxi Village can become rich because of the manipulation of Liansheng Group. Their Qiaokou Town has a better geographical location and more abundant resources, so there is no reason for it to be worse than Yunxi Village! For a while, like sparks splashing on dry grass, the villagers' ambition to get rich was ignited again.

The second thing is that the land transfer agreements that some farmers have signed with Zhicheng Industrial Group are invalid, and the eight villages must work together to recover the privately transferred land. Without that land, the large-scale lotus shrimp breeding base is a castle in the air and cannot be built at all.

In this way, the benefits and difficulties of this project were all laid out on the table. The peasants had their own wisdom and insights, and they all saw clearly the knots and thorns in the matter. Who was right and who was wrong between Liansheng Group and Zhicheng Industrial Group was not a matter that needed to be disputed. Chinese people did not believe in gods or ghosts, and getting rich had always been the common wish of the people on this land. Whoever dared to stop the people from living a better and more beautiful life was the enemy of the people!

As for the small number of farmers who have already transferred their land to Zhicheng Industrial Group, they just don’t care about it. Of course, they hope that this will be successful because the 10% village collective management fee is real, and Zhicheng Industrial Group has paid them the full amount of the 20-year land payment. They have already received the money and it is impossible to refund it. As for who owns the land? Is the contract valid?

It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with them.

This also shows the greed and unreasonableness of the farmers!
After this matter had been brewing for some time, the villagers who were eager to invite Liansheng Group in were immersed in a chaotic excitement. It was the dead of winter and the farm work had stopped. They were idle and arguing heatedly in the small auditorium all day long. Finally, they spontaneously organized themselves and drafted a charter. The eight villages sued Zhicheng Industrial Group in the name of the entire village collective to the Lizhen Intermediate People's Court, demanding the abolition of the land transfer agreement signed privately between Zhicheng Industrial Group and local farmers.

The two parties therefore went to court!

When Qiao Zhiwu received the notice to respond, he was sitting in his office, looking through Liu Mingde's loan contract. This was a big deal. As for the fact that the eight villages in Qiaokou Town collectively sued him, it was not surprising. He had been paying attention to this matter since they proposed to cancel the contract. Qiaokou Town was his old nest, so how could he not know about any disturbance?

Those peasants dared to make trouble, so they must have someone behind the scenes to guide them. Who else could this person be except Zhang Yunqi? To put it bluntly, this was a head-on battle between Liansheng Group and Zhicheng Industry! The conflict between the two sides was also completely exposed because of this lawsuit!
It's time to see the truth.

When Qiao Zhiwu thought of Zhang Yunqi, he felt like something was stuck in his throat. This guy was not easily persuaded, had some brains, and had a strong background. He was like a hedgehog, making it difficult for him to attack. No! At least the hedgehog didn't know how to fight back. If Zhang Yunqi got the chance, he would kill him!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhiwu felt a little anxious. He put down the contract and lit a cigarette. At this time, his cell phone rang.

Qiao Zhiwu opened it and saw that it was from Zhao Dayong.

He answered the phone, and Zhao Dayong came straight to the point and gave him a thunderbolt: "The city is going to launch a special operation to rectify the entertainment industry recently, and the intensity is very strong." After a pause, Zhao Dayong said, "It may be aimed at you. If there is any handle, deal with it as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhiwu was stunned for a long time.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. A ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the gloomy sky, breaking through the dark clouds and bringing a touch of warmth to this freezing winter.

There was a "bang" sound!
Qiao Zhiwu suddenly punched the desk. What bullshit is Zhao Dayong talking about! The handle has been dealt with cleanly, so why did he keep it before?
Then, his mind kept echoing with a sentence Zhang Yunqi had said: "I know that your backer is Secretary Song Zijian, but in two months, you will understand the meaning of the phrase 'yesterday's yellow flowers'."
