Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: A Major Event That Shook the Entire County_1

billion to create an industrial park!

Not to mention within the county, even taking it to the entire province, it would be an exceptionally significant event. As the news of the Fruitful Industrial Park spread, the entire county buzzed with excitement.

Peter Brown did not pay much attention to everyone’s thoughts at this moment, as he sat on the main stage in the town.

In the past, Peter only watched the proceedings from off stage, but today he was ranked third to appear on behalf of the county and took his seat directly.

The meeting was attended by the leadership of the entire town and also by many leaders from the county. This time, Reynard Johnson and Liam Taylor arrived in person.

To everyone’s surprise, Silas Nelson did not show up.

In fact, a work group had already arrived in the county even before Peter and his team had returned. Without much trouble, the news of Silas Nelson’s substantial bribery had spread.

The state allows business dealings and shareholding, but bribery or using one’s power for personal gain is not permissible.

When doing business, one generally uses another person’s identity to participate, unless it’s a Technology Shareholding arrangement like Peter’s.

Silas Nelson had already been taken away to cooperate with the investigation, and everyone knew that his career was over.

Now, looking at Peter, they even felt a sense of awe—this young man was impressive. Despite being targeted by someone like Silas Nelson, he had not only managed to stay out of trouble but had also caused such a big stir.

With the announcement, Peter was now formally entering the ranks of leadership.

After the main meeting, there was a smaller one in town which all the leading members attended. Those former town leaders who knew Peter all proactively approached and exchanged a few words with him.

They all understood that from now on, Peter was not someone they could suppress at will; in fact, he had surpassed them.

However, Peter did not appear arrogant and instead joked around with everyone.

After all, he was there to gain experience, so he couldn’t afford to be a misfit.

Liam Taylor was not in a good mood at the moment. Although they had also gained benefits, due to the incident with Peter, his trusted follower, Silas Nelson, had run into trouble. Not only was the Johnson Family putting pressure on him, but the powers behind Liam also stated that no one could obstruct the project’s development.

"The industrial park is a major project, and we will now begin to engage fully. The road construction will proceed very quickly, and we aim to complete it in a very short time. Also, Comrade Peter Brown, once you return, start immediately on the site selection work. By the way, do you have any special requirements regarding the staffing arrangements for the park?"

Peter didn’t particularly care about this and simply said, "Just let the county arrange it."

Reynard Johnson smiled and nodded at this—such a situation was beneficial for all parties involved.

After the meeting, Peter headed towards Fruitful Village, planning to keep up with the pace of change, which he hadn’t anticipated would happen so quickly. Not only was the Johnson Group interested in investing, but also the Ring-Star Group wanted to take a substantial share. He needed to discuss this with the villagers first.

Of course, it was clear that whether or not there was a discussion, it would all come down to the same conclusion. When the villagers saw so much money being invested, along with the promise of housing and earning opportunities, they would be unlikely to disagree.

Indeed, when Alexis White gathered the villagers and Peter relayed the county’s decision, the villagers were truly astonished.

"Could this really be true?"

"Can this actually happen?"

"If they invest 2 billion, how much is 5%?"

Peter said, "5% of 2 billion means your shares are worth almost ten million. Once the products start selling, you can earn substantial profits based on your shares. Additionally, your houses will be rebuilt into a villa district, and there will also be a commercial street. You can rent out shops to collect rent and even work in the wine factory to earn income. From now on, your lives will get better day by day."

The villagers had never dreamed of such good fortune. Hearing Peter’s explanation, their faces lit up with excitement.

"Boss Wang, there’s nothing more to say. Since you arrived, our village has improved day by day. You wouldn’t deceive us; we’ll follow your lead," said one villager.

Seeing their satisfied faces, Peter was also pleased and said loudly, "This area will develop rapidly. Believe me, along with the development of the park and in addition to the wine factory and other projects, numerous other projects will settle here. Your job opportunities will increase significantly, and even without working, your share income and shop rent will earn you a lot. Poverty alleviation is completely achievable for you, and our goal isn’t merely to achieve that; we aim to strive for a moderately prosperous life. Your good days are here!"

Listenting to Peter’s speech, the villagers had never felt such excitement. Before, they were content with just enough to eat, but now under Peter’s guidance, they realized life entailed much more than just that.

The villagers discussed among themselves and dispersed, while Peter gathered Alexis White and Oliver Pangbourne.

Looking at them, Peter said, "The big groups from above are planning to invest this time, and things are moving faster than expected. However, in the distribution of shares, both of you, as the main leaders, were originally allocated 5% for the village. I fought for a bit, and both of you will have 0.5% of the shares each. Don’t underestimate this stake; the revenue will be substantial."

Alexis White nodded emphatically and said, "Director Wang, even without these shares, it’s already a lot. We never dreamed of such things before. You have always considered our benefits. I, Alexis White, am grateful. Going forward, I’m with you in whatever you do!"

Oliver Pangbourne spoke earnestly, "I, Oliver Pangbourne, have never acknowledged anyone this way, but Town Chief Wang, I respect you. Alexis White is right; even without the shares, we are already at a great advantage. We’ve gained so much without doing anything—it’s all thanks to you. Wherever you point, that’s where I’ll strike."

Seeing their expressions of loyalty, Peter smiled and said, "The days ahead will only get better. As long as you do your jobs well, the benefits will keep increasing."

Peter realized he was already starting to build his own circle.
