Free Web NovelChapter 2124: Chapter 2084: Groundbreaking
Ye Qiu and Ye Weidong came out from the village committee and returned to Third Uncle.
Third Uncle and the others already knew that Ye Qiu planned to spend ten million to buy the mountain in Longkou. At least, in their view, it was hardly worth it; after all, ten million could accomplish many things.
Unexpectedly, they now heard it would cost two hundred million.
Two hundred million?
"Ye Qiu, you can’t be serious, right?" Third Uncle asked in disbelief.
Ye Qiu actually wanted to spend two hundred million to buy the mountain in Longkou to lavishly bury his grandfather. This was really a waste of money.
"I’m not joking, but because the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave also got involved, I just refused them."
The descendants of the Zhu Family Grave?
Third Uncle and the others seemed to understand what was happening.
It turned out that the original cemetery had been destroyed and surely the grave needed to be relocated.
And Ye Qiu had found a new burial site, so Ye Qiu was now preparing to settle these matters first.
This new burial ground, Ye Qiu was planning to construct according to the scale of ancient cemeteries.
That area, Ye Qiu still needed to go back and check it out again.
After gathering Ye Weidong and the others, and that Feng Shui master, the group headed into the mountains again.
They arrived at that mountain range opposite.
"Dad, Grandpa and Grandma’s new burial grounds will be here."
This place is one of the best burial sites, even better than the original one.
Ye Weidong obviously had no objections.
And the Feng Shui master, using the Compass, examined the place and indeed found it to be excellent.
"We start construction now, first build a cement road directly to here, at the foot of the mountain construct a parking lot, so in the future, we can drive here directly, and then the mountain will be constructed according to the scale of ancient emperors."
"How much will this cost again?" Ye Weidong asked in disbelief.
"It will certainly cost over ten million."
"But this land hasn’t been bought yet, and we’re already starting construction."
"That’s right, we start construction now. Dad, get in touch with people, and strive to get it done within three days."
As Ye Weidong and Third Uncle went to contact people.
Actually, Ye Qiu was well aware that the key wasn’t about how well his grandfather’s grave was constructed, but he wanted to show it to others.
This point was something even the average person could see.
And the descendant representative of the Zhu Family Grave was competing with Ye Qiu for that burial site in Longkong, and knowing the other party bid two hundred million Huaxia Yuan, they could only return to consult with the representative of the Zhu Family Grave.
This is not a joke.
Even if the Zhu Family Grave descendants might number in the tens of thousands, most are ordinary people; truly wealthy people or officials are only a very small part.
However, asking these wealthy people or officials to collectively pool together two hundred million.
This is certainly impossible.
No one can produce such a sum immediately, so they can only split the cost.
Moreover, now because of the competition over burial sites, and the grave bombing incident, the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave feel very embarrassed.
So, they feel they can’t lose to the other party in this matter under any circumstances.
When these people gathered together during the National Day holiday to discuss how to handle it.
After all, because the Zhu Family Grave was damaged and bombed, it might be in a state where there’s nothing left, and this also needs to be handled.
Ye Weidong and his son were too arrogant, but looking at it now, this father and son might not be so simple.
So, without knowing the identity of these two, they no longer dared to act rashly against them.
The two have strong networks in the nearby county, in the political circles, and even black and white affairs.
If it were just ordinary people, facing this situation, they might die without even knowing how.
But now, no one dares to do anything like that.
"Two hundred million, who will contribute it, how to split it?" the middle-aged man asked.
Because he could see that Ye Qiu might really not be joking and might really bring out that sum of money.
"Two hundred million? You think it’s two million, with that money, I’d rather invest it, who would care about the cemetery?"
...
These people kept discussing, and this had completely exceeded their imagination. If it were tens of millions, it would be okay, at least they could collect it from those Zhu Family Grave descendants.
However, they also know that from these ordinary people, really trying to collect such an amount is indeed very difficult.
This point can be seen from the usual rural road constructions, because for road construction, the government only allocates a part, and the rest has to be raised by the farmers themselves.
If it’s about anything else it’s fine, but if it’s heard that every household has to contribute money, fear is that there are hardly any who are willing or take initiative.
This is still related to their direct interest, at least road construction is very useful for them.
However, when they hear about each person contributing hundreds of bucks for road fees, those ordinary people start pondering whether their family has a car, and what good such a high-quality road would do.
Now, these Zhu Family Grave representatives, all are well-known figures, they can contribute their own money, but if it exceeds a certain share, it’s still the same situation.
Two hundred million?
With that amount of money, a lot could indeed be done.
So, if it’s fifty million, they might still be able to gather it, but now to bring out two hundred million in cash might take half a year.
But now the ancestors within the Zhu Family Grave must surely be dealt with, where exactly to bury them is something they ought to discuss properly.
Not long after, word spread following a meeting among these representatives that Ye Weidong from Ye Family Village and the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave, competing for the right to bury, wanted to purchase that mountain area in Longkong, and both sides offered two hundred million.
It’s two hundred million Huaxia Yuan.
Now this matter has been spreading far and wide, causing people in Huizhou and even across Xin’an Province to hear about it.
People weren’t admiring the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave; instead, they were surprised at when Ye Weidong and his son became so wealthy.
Moreover, for many, it was the first time to hear about it.
At this point, Ye Weidong had already called people over, to construct Ye Qiu’s grandfather’s new burial site according to Ye Qiu’s design, hiring a large number of people at once.
Like those building roads, constructing the burial site, buying materials, etc.
These matters were handled by Ye Weidong and Third Uncle.
Previously, this money was already in Ye Weidong’s possession, so he didn’t need to take it from Ye Qiu.
However, Village Chief Ye and others were astonished, as they thought Ye Qiu didn’t want that mountain area in Longkong anymore, but why was Ye Qiu now having it built himself?
Sure enough, in the afternoon, those village chiefs got wind, saying that due to the high price, the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave had already given up on purchasing that mountain area in Longkou, instead intending to relocate their grave elsewhere, naturally avoiding being buried near Ye Qiu’s grandfather’s grave and encountering such events again.
The descendants of the Zhu Family Grave gave up, but Ye Qiu had already started construction.
If Ye Qiu didn’t pay, they wouldn’t have had much to say.
After all, Ye Qiu had directly blown up someone else’s grave site; given this event, this young man was not someone they could afford to provoke.
So, being able to receive a sum of money was certainly nice.
