Chapter 344 The Shock of the Villagers

The changes in Yucheng Village began when Chen Yuan returned to the village to start a business.

From the influx of people brought by a small pond to the transformation of the village appearance, Yucheng Village has gradually become lively and laid the foundation for subsequent development.

The achievements of the village enterprise started from the successful project application and the formal signing of the agreement, from Chen Yuan Hot Spring Amusement Park, to new rural construction, homestay projects, to Ice and Snow World, Yucheng Film and Television, etc.

Both the scale and operating results are very good.

Chen Yuan was sitting nearby, feeling a little dazed as he listened to Chen Wenbin’s report on the achievements.

Looking back on the achievements of the past six months, from a small pond to its current level, even he felt a little dreamy.

“These are the achievements of Yucheng Village this year. Let’s talk about it one year at a time. Next is this year’s dividend distribution, and then we will talk about next year’s plan.”

Chen Wenbin did not have many leadership skills. He briefly explained the achievements of Yucheng Village this year in just over ten minutes, and then gestured to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan understood and immediately stood up, opened the box on the table, and took out the bundles of cash and red bills.

“Wow~”

As the cash was laid out, the villagers who had been quietly listening to the secretary’s speech suddenly became agitated.

Especially Chen Yuan kept moving, laying out the money in bundles, and soon it became like a small mountain of cash, which had a particularly strong visual impact.

“Fuck, and how much is this?”

“Looking at the thickness of the bundles, one bundle should be worth 10,000. Boss Chen has carried out at least over 100 bundles, which must be hundreds of thousands.”

“Oh my goodness, I knew there would be dividends today, but I didn’t expect it to be so big.”

“Who said it wasn’t? I thought it was just a symbolic holiday allowance. It looks like every household will get a few thousand yuan.”

“Although this amount of money is not much, it is definitely not small either, especially for people like us who are wandering outside and have done nothing. But we can get several thousand yuan for the New Year when we return to the village. Who would believe it if we told others about it?”

“In fact, I don’t have high expectations for dividends. What I care most about when I return to the village is the new countryside. The location of our Yucheng Village is not bad. It is right next to the Wen District and it is convenient to go to the provincial capital. If the village entrance is really repaired, we don’t have to buy a new house. Who would have thought that the dividends would be so much?”

When more than one million yuan in cash was neatly laid out, all the villagers were excited, especially those who returned to the village. The amount was beyond their expectations.

As some villagers said, the main reason they returned to the village was to see the new countryside. After all, the location of Yucheng Village is already good, and if it is built to the entrance of the village, it will be no less than a commercial house.

This is what they care about most.

But when seeing so much cash, it seemed that he realized that he had underestimated the value of Yucheng Village.

“Click.”

Many villagers were excited and some young people took out their mobile phones and pointed them at the mountain of cash, taking photos and posting them on their Moments in one go.

Even the moment I took out my phone, the copywriting was already in my mind.

“I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but in the end I got alienated. I won’t pretend anymore. I’m going home to inherit the family business.”

“Business is not good these days. With the efforts of our whole family, we only earn this little money after a whole year.”

“I need help online. How can I spend all this money in one day? Urgent~”

No matter what mentality everyone had when attending the year-end meeting in Yucheng Village, no one was not excited when they saw the hundreds of thousands of cash.

Chen Wenbin was not in a hurry. He looked at the excited villagers with a smile on his face. After the villagers gradually calmed down, he picked up the loudspeaker and continued,

“The next step is to distribute the dividends. Let me make it clear in advance that the dividend distribution standard in Yucheng Village is not equal. It will be distributed based on village resources, human and material resources, and other factors, so there will be more or less. If you have any objections to the distribution standard or amount, you can come and find me.”

Whenever money is involved, no matter how it is distributed, it is inevitable that some people will feel that it is unfair and have some opinions. If so, resolve it privately.

“I have a list of household heads here. When I read out your name, come and collect the money, or ask someone else in the family to come and collect it.”

Chen Wenbin picked up the list on the table and called out the first name, “Chen Dequan.”

“I’m here.”

Chen Dequan jumped up from the bench, straightened his clothes and walked over.

“Chen De’s family, receive a cash dividend of 5,800 yuan.”

Wow~
When the crowd heard the amount, there was another uproar.

All the cash is there, so we can estimate the approximate amount. And based on the number of registered households in Yucheng Village, we can have a rough idea of ​​the average value.

Five thousand eight hundred was obviously far above the average.

However, the villagers can understand. Those who work outside know that they will get more if they contribute to the village, and those in the village also know that Chen Dequan’s family are the earliest employees.

Not only did they give all their resources without reservation, they also worked tirelessly. Especially in the beginning, Chen Yuan didn’t even mention any bonuses, but the couple still worked at full intensity.

Deserves so many dividends.

“Come and sign it.”

Chen Jun and Chen Guo maintained the signing here.

“Uncle, count.”

Chen Mo and Chen Ming guarded the cash beside Chen Yuan, counted the amount, and handed it to Chen Dequan.

“Thank you, thank you Secretary, thank you Boss Chen.”

After Chen Dequan signed the document, he held up the cash and thanked repeatedly. The smile on his face was as bright as the warm sun in spring, and he couldn’t close his mouth.

“See? This is how employee No. 1 is treated.”

In the crowd, Liu Fang also smiled brightly and said while looking at her son beside her.

“This treatment is really good.”

This is beyond words. A dividend of nearly 6,000 yuan is higher than the year-end bonus of many people working in large companies, and is even equivalent to one or two months’ salary.

“Zhou Jianming~”

Chen Wenbin continued to call out the household owner’s name. Those who heard their name came forward, first signed, then took the money, and thanked him repeatedly with joy.

Some household owners were not there and their family members had not returned either, so Chen Wenbin marked them and called the next one.

Under the tide of the times, the number of permanent residents in Yucheng Village is very limited, and only about two hundred households return to visit during festivals.

This year, due to the changes in Yucheng Village, including new rural construction, year-end dividends, etc., some people who have not returned to the village for many years have returned this year.

But it’s still uneven.

However, having around 300 households is already the largest gathering in the past ten to twenty years.

The simple dividend distribution ceremony took two hours in total.

When the last villager received his dividend, Chen Wenbin raised his loudspeaker and said, “Well, this year’s dividend distribution ceremony is over. The amount is not much, and everyone has different amounts. As I said before, if you have any ideas or want to check the village committee’s accounts, you can come down and talk to me.”

The villagers smiled and said they had no objection.

Everyone heard the amount of money in all accounts clearly, without any concealment, and the distribution was indeed very fair.

I don’t envy those who earn less. After all, the resources in the village are different, and I haven’t contributed any effort. It’s like picking up a few thousand yuan for free when I go back to the village. There are also new rural welfare benefits, and I don’t have to spend a penny. Why do I need a bicycle?

Besides, Chen Wenbin only gave his family 1,000 yuan, which was the least among all the dividends. What’s the imbalance? “Yucheng Village has undergone such a dramatic change and achieved such results today, all because of one person,” Chen Wenbin continued.

Thousands of people in the village all looked at Chen Yuan.

“Yes, this person is Chen Yuan, our boss Chen. Without him, there would be no Yucheng Village today, and everyone would not be able to get the red bills in their hands.”

Chen Wenbin laughed, and the whole village laughed along.

“Now, welcome our boss Chen to tell everyone about the planning of Yucheng Village and the work arrangements for next year. Please welcome him with applause.”

After Chen Wenbin finished speaking, he handed the loudspeaker to Chen Yuan and led the applause.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause.

Chen Dequan, Zhou Jianming and other village employees were the most enthusiastic and were clapping crazily.

“Boss Chen, Boss Chen~”

The younger generation such as Zhou Lin and Chen Nan started shouting even more. Chen Dequan glanced at them, seemed to complain, and then started shouting too.

“Boss Chen, Boss Chen~”

The atmosphere was so exciting that other villagers also started shouting, especially the young people, who liked this kind of atmosphere. Besides, it was not a loss to shout for the sake of money.

cough cough.

Chen Yuan stood up, took the loudspeaker handed to him by Chen Wenbin, cleared his throat and put it to his lips.

“smell good.”

Chen Yuan smiled and glanced at the kitchen at the back with an expression of anticipation for delicious food.

“Haha, Boss Chen didn’t have breakfast, did he?”

“I have to say, it does smell good, and it feels no worse than those star-rated hotels outside. It makes me feel a little hungry.”

“Haha, today is a Chinese dinner, with Sister Lin and Xu Juan cooking, we are all in for a treat.”

“Don’t mention it. I really miss the buffets prepared by Sister Lin. I don’t have this opportunity outside. I must have a good meal today.”

Lin Cuiju’s cooking skills are impeccable. People in the village never get tired of eating her food, and those who are away from home will occasionally miss the hometown food.

“A dish from home is full of homesickness. Travelers who are away from home will inevitably miss home sometimes.”

Chen Yuan put the speaker to his mouth and continued, “I’m home today, so I’ll enjoy the delicious food from my hometown. At the same time, I want to say that if you are willing, you don’t have to leave your hometown next year and you can eat delicious hometown food every day.”

Starting from the hometown flavor of the food, the author invites the villagers to return home to work and jointly build their hometown, Yucheng Village. It is not at all abrupt to get to the point.

“Who would want to wander around when they can make a living in their hometown?”

“Thanks to Mr. Chen for taking care of me and providing me with a job in the village, I will definitely go back to work at my best after the Spring Festival.”

“Build your hometown and make money.”

Many villagers have expressed their opinions, while some have not responded. Some have either settled down outside or have good jobs.

This is normal.

After returning to the village, most of the topics of conversation revolved around the changes in Yucheng Village and how much one could earn in Yucheng Village. They calculated in their minds whether it was cost-effective or not.

“Thank you everyone.”

Chen Yuan was very grateful to the villagers who were willing to stay in the village for construction, and then said: “I believe that everyone has seen the changes in Yucheng Village during these days of returning to the village.”

“I don’t dare to be complacent, but Yucheng Village is indeed getting better. The village appearance is being improved, new rural homes are being built, and projects in the village are getting on track. There are many profitable projects in the village, and it will get better and better.”

“This year, we have completed the start-up phase from zero to something. Next year, we will enter the take-off phase from something to richness.”

The villagers don’t know whether the economy will take off or not, but they still agree with what he said.

Everyone says that the first pot of gold is the hardest to earn, and the first step of starting a business to make a profit is the most difficult. As long as you start to make a profit, the follow-up will not be 100% better, but at least it will be relatively simple.

The projects in Yucheng Village have already successfully achieved the first step. Most importantly, with only a few months of operation in 14, they were able to receive so much. Doubling the revenue in 15 should not be a problem.

“Perhaps you still don’t know what I mean by soaring. Let me show you some data first.”

Chen Yuan looked at the villagers’ reactions, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he took out his mobile phone and sent a picture to the three groups in Yucheng Village.

Motioned to the villagers to look.

“The Taoist Priest Has Come Out of the Mountain, with a cumulative box office of 524.67 million.”

The villagers present must have joined the Yucheng Village group, and at this moment they all took out their mobile phones and opened WeChat to check.

It was a picture, the cover of Taoist, with a few big words clearly marked next to it, “Cumulative Box Office”, followed by a very eye-catching number.

This is what Chen Yuan asked Qin Fen to prepare. It is the official website of Yucheng Film and Television and will be updated in real time every day.

“what does this mean?”

“Isn’t this the big online movie that was promoted a while ago? Let’s see the box office?”

“The box office isn’t that high.”

Many villagers have doubts, especially the young people, who have a better understanding of these things. In this day and age, a movie is not considered a big hit unless it makes hundreds of millions at the box office.

Five million, not to mention there is nothing to show off, it can even be said to be extremely bleak.

Chen Yuan understood the villagers’ doubts, but he was in no hurry to explain. He just looked at the audience calmly and confidently. After the discussions gradually subsided, he continued:
“This box office is indeed not high, but online movies cannot compete with the big screen. Let me give you another set of data and you will understand.”

“The script of the Taoist Priest’s Departure took a week to write, the shooting period was ten days, and the post-production period was twenty-two days. The total investment was two hundred and sixty thousand, and it has been online for nine days.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire dining area, more than a thousand villagers were stunned, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

They don’t care about script time, shooting cycle, post-production, etc. There is only one number that really stimulates them.

Two hundred and sixty thousand!

Is this the total investment?
There must be something wrong.

Online movies are also movies. The total investment of a movie is only 260,000, but it can earn more than 5 million at the box office. Moreover, it has only been online for nine days and will continue to generate box office revenue in the future.

I’m afraid it will cost tens of millions.

Even the villagers who knew nothing about this business were stunned at this moment. This rate of return on investment was simply too terrifying.

“And this is the split box office, which means the box office shown is the number we can get.” Chen Yuan continued to throw out a bombshell that was neither big nor small.

But it was enough to shock the villagers even more.

Those young people who were originally listless and just shouting along with the atmosphere were now numb.

This is not the kind of box office they know. It needs to go through various profit sharing with theaters, etc. This is the real box office that they can get.

How cruel!
