Chapter 119 Are You Serious? Chenjiacun. A dozen people gathered in the room to discuss something. Chen Jiali, Chen Shi, and Chen Long had just returned and were so angry that they didn't say a word. Especially Chen Long, with a dark face. Thinking of the scene where Cheng Ming ruthlessly rejected their rent increase, he felt so angry that his liver ached. I wanted to disgust Cheng Ming, but I ended up pissing myself off instead. The more Chen Long thought about it, the angrier he became. "Uncles, why don't we take the land back and stop renting it out!" he suddenly suggested. The dozen or so people present, except Chen Long and Chen Li, were mostly elderly people in their fifties or sixties.
Everyone was surprised. Chen Jiali said, "Not renting it anymore? We signed the contract in the first place. If we don't rent it, we will be in breach of contract." The old men also objected. "If we don't rent it to them, we won't get any rent and we'll have to pay money. "Besides, what can we do if we take it back?" "All of us are old, and the young people are all in the city. Who will farm the reclaimed fields?" "Let me think about it again." Chen Long seemed to have expected these people to say this. He analyzed the reasons to everyone. "I remember that in the contract we signed, the penalty was equivalent to one year's rent, right?" "According to the contract, the annual price for one acre of land is only 400 yuan, but now the market price has risen to 600 yuan per acre!" "Since he is unwilling to raise the rent, we will take the land back and rent it out for two years, and the penalty will be returned!" "If we rent it to him for twelve years according to the contract, how much money will we lose? How much will he take advantage of us?" I have to say that Chen Long is really smart. Make the accounts clear and precise. With just a few words, he made the group of old guys dizzy. After everyone discussed it, they felt that what Chen Long said made sense. "Aaron's calculation is correct. Even if we pay the penalty, it will only take two years to make it back, and we can make even more in the next ten years." Chen Jiali said, "Does anyone have any objections?" The old men looked at each other, and no one spoke.
"Then let's vote by raising our hands. Those who oppose taking back the land should raise their hands." As Chen Jiali finished speaking. Not a single person raised their hand. The resolution to reclaim the land was passed! Seeing this, Chen Long's mouth corners slowly rose. With the collective support, Chen Jiali, Chen Shi and Chen Long came to Cheng Ming again. In front of the warehouse. Cheng Ming is adding soil to the plants. Chen Long said arrogantly: "We in Chenjia Village have decided to take back our land. Get off our land now!" Cheng Ming stopped what he was doing, ignored Chen Long, and looked at Chen Jiali. "Are you serious?" Chen Jiali nodded: "That's right." Chen Long imagined that after hearing this proposal, Ming would surrender, burst into tears, kneel down and beg for his forgiveness, and promise to compensate him. But Cheng Ming's reaction was very calm, without even a hint of surprise. This made Chen Long feel as powerless as if he was punching cotton with all his strength. "You are in breach of contract. Will you pay the penalty?" Cheng Ming said calmly. "According to the agreement in the contract, the penalty for breach of contract is one year's rent. We will just give you this amount of money." Chen Long said with a smile. "Would you rather pay the penalty to take back the land?" Cheng Ming was a little surprised. "Yes!" That would be interesting. At this time, Lao Zhang next to him was so angry that he said, "You Chenjia Village are too bullying! You signed the contract and now you want to break it! Chen Long, is this your fault?" Chen Long had an arrogant expression, as if to say, "So what if it was me who did this?" "What does this have to do with you? Get out of here." "you!" Chen Long's face was so arrogant that even an honest man like Lao Zhang almost couldn't hold back. But he was stopped by Cheng Ming. "It's not impossible for you to take the land back, but you have to give me a written notice of termination of the contract with the seal of the village committee, and pay the penalty for breach of contract first. If you can do that, I will move the medicine garden away immediately." Cheng Ming said. "Boss, you..." Lao Zhang was a little anxious. But Cheng Ming signaled him not to worry: "It's okay."
This contract is indeed a bit bad, the penalty for breach of contract is too low. This is a hidden danger. Anyway, all the medicines planted in the medicine garden have just been cleared out, so there will be basically no loss even if the garden is moved, it will just be a little troublesome. Instead, it allowed Cheng Ming to eliminate the hidden danger of the penalty being too low. If the other party waits until Cheng Ming plants his own medicine before making a move, that would be a real loss. "Okay, no problem! Just pack up your things and get ready to get out of Chenjia Village!" Chen Long said with a smile. Cheng Ming didn't say anything. The people from Chenjia Village left. After they left, Lao Zhang said bitterly: "They signed the contract, but they just go back on their word. The people in Chenjia Village are such bastards!" The other workers also looked angry. Cheng Ming shook his head to indicate that he didn't care. Now I still have to think about where to rent another garden. Fortunately, the basic framework of the garden, agricultural equipment, and registration certificates are still there. The worst that can happen is that we can just rent a new piece of land. Old Zhang's eyes lit up: "Boss Cheng, how about moving the medicine garden to our Zhangjia Village?" "We have quite a bit of land in Zhangjia Village. Every worker's family has two or three plots of land. How about renting some land from Zhangjia Village?" Other workers agreed to this proposal. "Yes, Boss, we in Zhangjia Village will never be as dishonest as Chenjia Village!" "Yes! Even if the price is 400 yuan per acre, it's no problem to rent it for 20 years!" "The penalty for breach of contract can be a little higher, it doesn't matter if it's for twenty years!" "We are closer to the river, so it is very convenient to get water for irrigation." “Even the land here is more fertile than that in Chenjia Village!” Cheng Ming nodded. This is indeed a good idea. "Thank you all in advance." the next day. Chen Long and the other person brought out the contract termination notice and the penalty for breach of contract. In front of Cheng Ming, he was very proud, as if he had just won a battle. "Boss Cheng, if you give me the 100,000 yuan in compensation, I can ask Chenjia Village to retract its decision. What do you think?"
"Not very good." Cheng Ming refused directly. Chen Long's face darkened, revealing a hint of cruelty. "Since you don't know what's good for you, there's nothing more to say. You have three days to move out, so as not to delay our village's spring planting." Cheng Ming collected the money, got the notice, and directly arranged for the workers to start moving the equipment and tools. Several large trucks seemed to have been waiting at the gate for a long time. They immediately entered the park and started moving things. It seems that Cheng Ming had planned to move out early in the morning. Seeing this scene, Chen Long's expression became even uglier. Within two days, all the contents of the medicine garden were moved out, leaving nothing behind. Chen Long, Chen Shi, and Chen Jiali stood at the entrance of the medicine garden, watching the vehicle go away. "Looking at the direction they are going, it seems they are heading to Zhangjia Village." Chen Shi said. "It's normal. Now all the workers in his medicine garden are from Zhangjia Village. It's not surprising that he rented a new park from them." Chen Long said. "Forget it. Where to rent land is their business. It has nothing to do with us. We should find a way to rent out the land now," said Chen Jiali. (End of this chapter)
