Chapter 124 A Man's Greed Is Like a Snake Which Tries to Swallow an Elephant
In the Shanshuijian, after accepting the far-fetched story from Ye Chen, Chen Yinuo gradually came out of the shock.
It's just that she'll need some time to calm down and digest the matter that Ye Chen had become a billionaire.
Thus, she took out the clothes and toiletries from the suitcase which Ye Chen brought from the rental house, and walked into the bathroom.
In the living room, Ye Chen is sitting on the sofa with Ye Youyou, accompanying her in watching the Peppa Pig animation.
Suddenly, his phone rang. After seeing the call from Zhong Jianshe, Ye Chen was halted for a moment, but wasn't surprised.
After caressing Youyou's head, he left the living room with his mobile phone and walked to the balcony.
"Hello, Mr. Zhong!"
"H... Hi, Mr. Ye!" Zhong Jianshe greeted extremely unnaturally.
"Well, anything wrong?" Ye Chen chuckled.
However, didn't even wait for Zhong Jianshe to respond, his phone was immediately snatched by the representative of Jinzhong Village.
He turned on the speaker and place it on the table. "Mr. Ye, I'm the representative of Jinzhong Village!" the representative of Jinzhong Village said.
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Ye Chen asked.
"Mr. Ye, well, you purchase the land of Jinzhong Village, right? Currently, the villagers of Jinzhong Village have discussed and decided not to sell it anymore. Let's see if you can return the land and the houses back to us. Be rest assured that we'll return the exact amount of money that you've given to us! The representative of Jinzhong Village exclaimed.
"I refuse. For your information, we've already written our terms and agreement in black and white. Also, we've gone through all the official procedures that should be taken, the ownership has been transferred, and the money has been given to you. With the signed agreement, how can it be like what you wanted?" Ye Chen rejected with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, since you have said so, let's not beat around the bush. All of us know that the government wants to extend the subway to the outer suburbs, and that the Hengda Group plans to develop there too. I believe you've gotten the news beforehand!" The representative of Jinzhong Village held back his emotions and said.
"Well, then what?" Ye Chen questioned.
"Then? Then this means that Jinzhong Village is definitely worth the money. You gave us 1 million dollars at that time. Do you think this price is reasonable?" The representative of Jinzhong Village added.
"Before this, no one knew that the government wanted to build up the subway and that the Hengda Group wanted to develop. I just wanted to find a cheap piece of land to build a factory. In the whole Jiang Zhou, Jinzhong Village which is located in the outer suburbs, was cheap. Also, judging from the situation at that time, frankly speaking, the fact that I've given you all one million dollars per each family is considered a conscience choice! I'm afraid there is absolutely no one other than me who can afford this price!" Ye Chen said.
"But now, Jinzhong Village is worth every inch of land!" The representative of Jinzhong Village snapped.
"What do you want to say?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
He had already expected this would happen.
He was even prepared an extra amount of 200 thousands dollars to compensate the other party.
In his previous life, Jinzhong Village was expropriated by the Hengda Group at a price of 700 to 800 thousand dollars per household. Even after people of Jinzhong Villiage had made trouble for a long time, the Hengda Group still didn't pay the other party a compensation. After all, this kind of precedent was absolutely not allowed.
In this life, he gave them one million dollars each, which was considered conscience enough.
Otherwise, if he didn't purchase it, they would still be unable to escape the cycle of Hengda Group's purchase of the past with only 700 to 800 thousand dollars.
In fact, Ye Chen was kind enough.
However, even so, Ye Chen expected from the beginning that the other party would be not resigned after the announcement was made, so he had already prepared an additional 200 thousand dollars to compensate the other party.
It's not that Ye Chen was afraid of the ruckus that would be caused by the villagers, it's just an act out of sympathy.
"Mr. Ye, you have to compensate us. Only by that, it'll be reasonable for us, right?" The representative of Jinzhong Village said.
"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Let's be straightforward, I'll give each of you another 200 thousand dollars yuan per household!" Ye Chen announced.
Little did he know that as soon as his sentence has just ended, another villager of Jinzhong Village immediately yelled, "What?! 200 thousand dollars only?! You just compensate us with merely 200 thousand dollars? Are you taking us as beggars? We have asked someone else, and we can get at least eightfold to tenfold on the basis of 1 million dollars! Therefore, each of our houses is worth at least 10 million dollars!" Under his yelling, the others remained silent.
It's obvious they had the same thought as him.
Just compensate them for 200 thousand dollars?
They definitely could not accept it!
However, they forgot that they had no right to bargain at all.
Not to mention 200 thousand dollars, even if Ye Chen didn't compensate them, they have nowhere to complain!
In his previous life, the Hengda Group didn't even compensate them. Although the other party posted this matter online and turning it into a controversial topic, the public's opinion was one-sided. All of them were on the side of the Hengda Group. Except for some netizens who deliberately want to discredit the Hengda Group, no one sympathized with them.
The reason was very simple. For example, you sold your house, then its price fluctuated all of a sudden after you sold it. Other than admitting yourself being an unlucky one, what else can you do? Finding the other party to compensate you for that price difference?
As soon as listening to their bargain, Ye Chen's face darken.
Complaining that 200 thousand dollars is too little for them, were them taking advantage of his kindness?
With a sneer, he snarled, "How much do you want?"
Four million dollars, at least four million dollars!" He barked.
"I see... 4 million dollars right? Haha.. If that's the case, that's fine, I'll take back my words, no more 200 thousand dollars for you anymore! Even it's 20 dollars, I won't waste it to compensate you all, that's all." Ye Chen sneered and cackled sarcastically, then hang up the phone.
A man's greed is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant.
Without any doubt, the ungrateful villagers trampled his last act of kindness towards them.
"What? He hung up the phone?! Damn it!" As soon as the villager in Jinzhong Village realized the call was hung up by the other party, he roared angrily.
"Actually, thinking about it, isn't 4 million dollars a little too much?" At this time, another Jinzhong villager said.
"Are you dumb?! Even if he gives us 4 million dollars, he can still earn a few million dollars. How come will it be too much?!" the emotional villager immediately retorted.
"But if he refuses to compensate us, what should we do? And who should we ask for help?"
Only then, that short-tempered villager shut his mouth up after realizing it.
He just realized a problem. After all, the other party purchased it personally, not as a corporate group. Even if they wanted to cause a ruckus, they have no nowhere to do so.
"Call him back. Let's negotiate with him at a lower price!" The representative of Jinzhong Village interjected.
Picking up Zhong Jianshe's phone and proceed to dial, only did he notice that it didn't work.
"F**k, this son of a bi**h blocked the phone number so quickly?!" That young villager who was shouting all the time just now questioned.
"Use another phone to call him back!"
Dudu- 
The villagers of Jinzhong Village kept changing phones to contact Ye Chen. Without exception, they failed to contact him.
"In fact, we should have accepted the 200 thousand dollars just now. It's reasonable if the other party didn't make up for us. He's being kind willing to compensate us just now. Else, it's normal for him not to compensate us!"
At this time, an elderly of the Jinzhong Villager shook his head and sighed.
