Chapter 276:

It can be said that in the second year, company expansion, or more precisely, land expansion issues, became a significant problem.

People from surrounding villages wanted to follow Xiao Family Village's example, contributing their land as shares and then waiting for dividends.

If it couldn't be done, then they wouldn't lease the land.

Those villagers believed that because their lands were adjacent to Xiao Family Village, the company had no choice but to use their lands, giving them leverage.

Xiao Yucheng and others were almost amused to laughter by this assumption.

However, it was somewhat reasonable for these people to have such thoughts.
