As the vice president of the All-China Light Industry Federation and the president of the China Garment and Textile Federation, Yu Dehua was naturally warmly welcomed and entertained in Pujiang. At present www.biquge.info the re-establishment of Hong Kong Golden Deer Group has invested more than 2 billion US dollars in the mainland, mainly involving light industry and real estate and hotel industry, and earns more than 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country every year.
Bringing in foreign investment is also the main task of various localities at present. Without one or two foreign investments, how can you be embarrassed to say that you are responding to reform and opening up.
The leaders of the Pujiang Municipal Party Committee delivered a welcome speech at the dinner.
"We are gathered tonight in Pujiang, a hot land for investment with a long history, rich humanities and rich resources. On behalf of the Pujiang Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal People's Government and the people of Pujiang City, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mr. Dehua. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and best wishes to all friends who care about and support the development of Pujiang!"
Yu Dehua also made a warm response, and expressed his willingness to donate 5 million US dollars on the spot to build ten schools.
According to the practice of donating to schools, the name of the school should naturally be called Yu Dehua Experimental Middle School. However, Yu Dehua refused without hesitation, and it was still called Golden Deer Experimental Middle School, and at present, Golden Deer Investment Company and Golden Deer Group have donated 59 Golden Deer Experimental Middle Schools in China.
According to incomplete statistics, Golden Deer has donated at least 30 million US dollars in China!
But donating so much money, whether it hurts or not, only Yu Dehua himself knows it.
When the big boss said donate, he had to donate it.
But every time he finds the feeling of hugging back and forth, he also feels that the money is well spent!
However, unlike many Hong Kong and Taiwan investors who are arrogant and really regard themselves as their uncles, Yu Dehua is often frightened by Li He, so he sets his posture very low, never publicizes, responds to requests, and helps when there is difficulty. He is not in a hurry to raise objections to other people's remarks, affirms, respects others, communicates with others with an attitude of discussion, and does not deny others at all.
And his political consciousness is not low, often saying that he can't take advantage of the country, can't let the country suffer, and has always taken the initiative to ask for a step back in related investments, and he doesn't want the land that people give away for nothing, and even takes the initiative to give money.
In the expropriation and relocation of relevant plots, he also served the people in the spirit of serving the people and never let the people suffer.
A low profile is a sign of weakness and an affirmation of the authority of others.
His style naturally attracted the favor of leaders everywhere, and his reputation was naturally not bad. They all feel that he is a person who is on the Tao, conscious, and easy to use.
After the tedious and lengthy dinner, it entered the formal topic, and the news that Golden Deer Group and Yuanda Group were going to invest 1 billion US dollars to build a skyscraper in Pudong shocked everyone!
$1 billion!
With the gradual development of investment promotion, many people are naturally familiar with Golden Deer Group and Yuanda Group.
In particular, the high-profile action of Yuanda Group in Hong Kong to save the market naturally attracted the attention of many people, and it took control of 5 listed companies at once, becoming a well-known top consortium in Hong Kong!
Don't say $1 billion!
That's 100 million US dollars, which is good!
And it's dollars!
Everyone's reaction lies in Dehua's expectations, the exaggeration of the investment amount, everyone is accustomed to it, the most common way is to say that the RMB is in dollars, that is, doubled, as for how many times, the main thing is to see if the quoted figures are beautiful.
But what confuses everyone is why invest in Pudong?
Due to the fact that there were no bridges and tunnels on both sides of the Huangpu River in history, and now there is only one Huangpu River bridge, although Pudong is only separated by a river from the bustling Bund and Nanjing Road, its economic development lags far behind the old urban area of Shanghai. I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong. The transportation is inconvenient, which makes Pudong very desolate.
Yu Dehua said, "Everyone, I am sorry for Pujiang, although Pujiang's industrial output value, export earnings, and profits and taxes rank first in the country. But in what was once the largest metropolis in the Far East, there are not a single skyscraper, no public telephones at the airport, and no English signage on the signs. On the way here, I found that the traffic lights at the intersection were still manually controlled. What does this mean? It shows that Pujiang still has great potential to be done! The old urban area is congested and the roads are congested, and it is no longer suitable for development and construction! That's why the Golden Deer Group is thinking about developing in Pudong!
He said this loudly, and he did a lot of homework when he came. But he didn't have confidence in his heart, after all, he also went to Pudong to see, there are private houses everywhere, wasteland and farmland everywhere, is it appropriate to develop this kind of place?
And build skyscrapers!
93-story skyscraper!
This may be a loss-making deal, will he become a laughing stock of his peers in Dehua!
He was very upset!
And it's unsettling!
The leadership team of Pujiang held a decision-making meeting for half a month, they didn't care whether Yu Dehua would lose money, they only cared about whether they were cost-effective or not, because once the so-called skyscrapers were built, the relevant facilities, road hardening, and demolition compensation were all work that the government needed to do!
But not to mention the energy expended, the government also needs to lose money to invest! Although they are also drooling over hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange, they also have doubts about whether the money will be received.
The government's opinion is always vague and always needs to be studied.
A month later, Yu Dehua was in a hurry, and he had already answered Li He's seven or eight phone calls in a row, and Li He's meaning on the phone was to take it at all costs, and he finally knew that Li He was serious.
Yu Dehua gritted his teeth and told the leaders of Pujiang that as long as the land is sold to us, we will do it ourselves, we will build the road hardening, we will build the school ourselves, we will build the hospital ourselves, and we will do all the water and electricity facilities ourselves!
And $100 million will arrive in the account first!
He thought in frustration that this time he had paid for it! It was Shen Daoru's money from the Yuanda Group and his reputation with Yu Dehua!
This time, the Pujiang Investment Promotion Office is a little embarrassed, and it is not good to pit such a kind Hong Kong businessman, and the reputation of such a good Hong Kong businessman will not be good! Who will dare to invest in Pujiang in the future!
They took a map of Pudong and gave it to Yu Dehua, and at the same time gave him a pen, "Come, Mr. Yu, this is the soy sauce shop you are talking about." You can draw whatever you want, as long as it is the location of Pudong, you will be given which piece you want!"
That's called a heroic dry cloud!
"Is it really a soy sauce shop?" Yu Dehua got Li He's request, and the skyscraper must be built on top of the soy sauce shop! Yu Dehua doesn't know which master can see feng shui!
The person in charge smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is only this soy sauce shop in these few miles." ”
Yu Dehua angrily drew a random circle near the soy sauce shop, and said angrily, "That's it." ”
The person in charge smiled awkwardly, "It's too small." Do you want to make it any bigger?"
They have already taken 100 million dollars of foreign exchange for nothing, and they can't give it to such a slippery wasteland, and they are also respectful! They eagerly hope that Yu Dehua will make up for their guilt!
You can't be too shameless!
Yu Dehua, in the spirit of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, made another big cut. What he didn't know was that he drew half of Hong Kong's Lamma Island with such a casual stroke.
This time, the person in charge was happy, "Okay, good, Mr. Yu." ”
After the matter was settled, Yu Dehua returned to Hong Kong in a frustrated manner, and he could not hold the signing ceremony until the feasibility report of the project and the visit of the Pujiang delegation to Hong Kong were completed.
What he has to do now is to bid for design units around the world, although there is already a Pujiang Design Institute recommended by the Pujiang Municipal Government, but a design institute is far from being able to solve such a big engineering problem!
This is a 93-story skyscraper!
The difficulty of his technical construction is world-class!
At present, the world's tallest building is the Sears Tower in Chicago, USA, with 110 floors and 445 meters high, which is taller than the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center building in New York, which have more than 100 floors.
He was lucky enough to think that the 110th floor only cost less than 200 million US dollars, so would the 93rd floor be cheaper? But when he thought of so many materials that needed to be imported, he couldn't stop sighing!
Engineering equipment alone!
He wanted to jump off the building!
But no matter what, he can only pin his hopes on the construction engineering group that is already negotiating.
Li He was not as happy as he imagined when he got the news from Yu Dehua, because it took nearly 2 years to prepare from architectural design to relocation. He felt that such a long life was too difficult.
He Fang carefully cut his hair, "Na, you can see that new hair can grow after cutting white hair." ”
She was overjoyed to see that his cheeks were slowly flushing.
Li He said solemnly, "Thank you." ”
She leaned down in front of him and said, "Do we need to say thank you?"
He said to He Fang, "You go back to work." Leave me alone. ”
He Fang said, "How can you do it alone?"
Although Li He can laugh now and eat normally, she still can't rest assured.
"No need. I'm going to Pujiang. Li He is very dissatisfied with this progress, according to his thoughts, of course, the sooner the better!
After He Fang washed his hair, he put the teapot in his hand again, and asked with a smile, "Why are you going so far?"
Li He raised his head and looked at her and said, "I'm going to find her." ”
He Fang thought he was talking nonsense, and didn't dare to stimulate him, but said softly, "Fool, she's in England." ”
Li He shook his head, "That's not her." ”
His daughter-in-law will not be so heartbroken, and she will prick his heart into his heart. His daughter-in-law is gentle, virtuous, intellectual, and does not have the arrogance of a little swan at all. His daughter-in-law won't let him tilt her head up, and she won't let him bend her knees.
Don't say six years, even ten years, she can tolerate him.
So the current woman is definitely not his daughter-in-law, he is very sure.
He Fang gently held his hand and said, "Erhe, we are all changing, why bother to sigh in the past." Maybe you wish that the person who was always by your side would not accompany you to the end, or maybe something went wrong where you thought there would be no error. I'm changing, Lao Zhao is changing, Wang Hui is changing, of course she is changing, only you don't change, you know?"
Perhaps memories are memories that cannot be forgotten in a moment. And life is still moving forward step by step.
Li He's hands trembled, and he felt her hand holding him tighter, and he smiled and said, "yes, it's all changing." ”
She took off the hairpin on her head and said, "Look at it, what a beautiful hairpin, eight cents a piece, I must have been reluctant to buy it before, but now I am willing to buy it, if I used to think that I am a loser now, I am still the person, but the current 'me' is no longer the 'me' of the past." I still miss my classmates who were so pure that they didn't have any impurities, but now they have impurities, just because they've grown up, you know?"
Li He closed his eyes painfully, how could he not understand these truths, he understood these truths better than anyone else!
He's just not reconciled!
It's just unwilling!
How unwilling he was!
How can she change?
How could she not love him?
How could she not care about him?
But he knew that she was no longer her, she was swimming in the sky, she was already addicted to her own world, and she would not care how she felt.
She was striding forward, and he was always reminiscing about the past.
Only older people reminisce about the past.
So when she left, he knew, and he didn't stop her, because she wasn't her anymore.
But what about the child? When he thought of the well-behaved child, his heart was bleeding, and he could no longer hear his daughter calling him father, he could not hear it. But how can a father give up his children so easily, he would rather die himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't stop crying again.
He covered his face and said, "I know everything." ”
He didn't know if it was realistic to go back, but there was a glimmer of hope, and he had to give it a try.
He sat quietly on the side of the road alone, watching the cars coming and going, watching the rush of people, watching the sparrows linger on the eaves, watching the hawkers and customers haggle. At this time, there are large clouds like people crossing the river, and you can see the building like a cannon barrel, and you can see the roof like a monkey's ass or a bald area. Naturally, I also saw brightness, fashion, and vitality.
He was indeed alive.
He pinched it hard, and it hurt him.
Pack your bags and get ready to go to Pujiang.
He Fang is also packing her luggage, and she is also going to follow.
Li He said, "You have a job, don't delay your affairs." Get busy. ”
He Fang smiled and said, "What you said, the teacher has no future." I've left my job. ”
After she left her job, she gritted her teeth and sent her savings back to her hometown, and she felt relaxed at that moment.
"You don't have to be like this. Li He was even more uncomfortable at this time, he had pretended not to know for so many years, but now he couldn't pretend anymore. She lost all her job for him! What a self-motivated and aspiring person she is!
How can you lose your pursuit for him?
He Fang said seriously, "Erhe, I am willing." ”
Li He covered his face again, he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to stay for two more days, hoping that she would change her mind, he didn't deserve her like this, he really didn't deserve it.
But just two days later, Li Long called, he was crying, and Li Zhaokun was hospitalized.
Li He was stunned.
It's messed up.
All of them are messed up.
In his memory, Li Zhaokun has always been alive and kicking.
