Pessimistic forecasts in the Western media.

Huaguo will fall into what economists predicted.

Factories are shut down, shops are closed, governments are shut down, and the stock market is untradable.

Rich people dragged their families to their hometowns, and ordinary people were eager to exchange money for food.

Many families put up signs at their doorsteps to express their demands, the streets were filled with the smell of gunpowder left behind by explosives, and most people had nothing to do, drinking and playing cards all day long, and children flocking in droves to beg for money......

"Crackling...."

Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers rang out in various parts of Egret Island.

In the smoke of gunpowder.

The last day of the year has arrived on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Everything is as predicted by the Western media.

But what the Western media did not expect was that the China Merchants Bureau on Egret Island did not stop.

In the midst of the annual vacation in all walks of life, Ludao City Investment Promotion Bureau is engaged in a fierce battle.

Vice Mayor Li Qingshan took the lead.

Negotiated commercially with Jushi Capital, a multinational investment company.

It's an uphill battle.

If the negotiations are successful, Heron Island will receive the largest investment ever.

So Xiao Jialiang gave the order to die.

This negotiation can only succeed and not fail.

"Mr. Robert, this is impossible, land is the foundation of people's survival, we can't promise to provide it for free, the government won't agree, the people won't agree, your conditions are too harsh. ”

"Director Li Qingshan, I think you still don't understand what I mean, this is not harsh, this is benevolent, we Jushi Capital will invest a lot of money to help the development of Ludao.

Our gang helped Ludao to build the largest financial center in China.

Think about it, with our help, Egret Island will have the tallest building in China.

With your wisdom, I think you should understand how much significance a landmark has ....

It's not harsh, it's true fraternity, it's friendly help, we're here to help the future development of Heron Island...."

British Titan Stone Capital has given a very large investment plan.

Their investment is to build the first skyscraper in China on Egret Island.

Named the Great Stone Building.

The ceiling is seventy-six storeys.

The initial investment is a full 500 million, and additional investment will continue to be made with the development of the construction period in the later stage.

As the deputy mayor in charge of economics, Li Qingshan was born in a professional class and studied systematic economics.

He knows very well that if Jushi Capital can really build the tallest building in China, it will definitely bring qualitative help to Ludao.

According to the plan given by Jushi Capital.

In the future, Egret Island will take the Boulder Building as the wind vane to build the United Financial Building.

If the operation is in place, it can even surpass the magic capital to become the financial center of Huaguo.

Li Qingshan has already seen the design drawings and renderings all day long.

Completely modern, top-of-the-line edifice design.

Gorgeous style with a hint of classic British architecture.

Noble and elegant and atmospheric.

The team of Jushi Capital is a well-known construction team from the United Kingdom, and many buildings in Hong Kong have been designed by this team.

Including the International Finance Tower in Hong Kong.

It can be said that the landmark building of the Hong Kong International Finance Tower has, to a certain extent, promoted the establishment of the Hong Kong financial circle.

If it can really be like the plan of Jushi Capital, it is indeed possible that Ludao will surpass the magic capital in the future and become the largest financial center in China.

At that time, capital from all walks of life in China will pour into Ludao.

Driven by capital, the economy of Egret Island cannot take off without taking off.

Not only that, but Jushi Capital has even more ambitious plans.

After the construction of the International Finance Tower, it will assist the Ludao City Government to expand the financial center into a modern CBD.

Li Qingshan also knew that these crooked nuts were painting a big cake for him, and it was a big cake.

But Li Qingshan couldn't help but be unmoved.

If it can really be realized, as the deputy mayor who focuses on the economy, it will definitely be a great political achievement, and in the future, he will not have the opportunity to take over Xiao Jialiang's class.

But Li Qingshan is also very entangled and helpless, Jushi Capital's requirements are too harsh.

It was so harsh that Li Qingshan couldn't accept it at all.

According to the requirements of Jushi Capital, it is necessary to plan 1,000 acres of land from Zhongshan Road to Lujiang Road.

If you want to build a building, you must use land.

But harsh is harsh, Jushi Capital does not give money.

Except for the subsidy money given to farmers for land requisition, Jushi Capital did not give a dime.

According to Boulder Capital, they are here to help Egret Island build a modern city.

Therefore, the land should be provided by the Heron Island government free of charge.

Li Qingshan wanted to roll his eyes.

The capitalists are all vampires, how can they be really kind enough to help Egret Island do the construction.

If they were really as merciful and loving as these gringos said, why did they need a 100-year usufruct of 500 acres of land?

Simply give the proceeds and the right to use it to Egret Island, that is the real fraternity.

But Li Qingshan couldn't say this.

If this fig leaf is torn off, then it's still a fart.

Damn it.

Doesn't it mean that crooked nuts have a tendon in their brains, why is Robert such a chicken thief.

The right to use, the right to buy, sell, lease, and transfer are all boulders, so isn't the Egret Island government busy in vain?

These crooked nuts are really not a good thing.

But even with such harsh conditions, Li Qingshan couldn't refuse at all.

But Li Qingshan didn't know that this kind of harsh condition was not something Robert came up with at all.

Robert was born in a capitalist country and deeply understands that in the interests of capital, everything is black.

But Zhao Jiangchuan made him feel black, it was definitely so dark that it was boundless.

This condition, which made Li Qingshan so harsh that it was unacceptable, was put forward by Zhao Jiangchuan.

He is well aware of the urgency of the country's pursuit of the economy in this era.

Huaguo is an official-based country.

It hasn't changed for thousands of years.

The words "scholar", "farmer", "industrialist", and "merchant" can explain many things.

If there is any era in which business is put in the first place, it can be said that it is only the nineties.

In this era, after seeing the gap with foreign countries, Chinese people realized that the economy is the foundation that dominates a country's future.

The status of the businessman has been infinitely elevated, and he has ever stood in the first position.

Without money, people will go hungry.

Merchants could earn large sums of money to feed the 50,000,000 people of China.

So in the nineties, the status of the real rich people could be comparable to that of high-ranking officials.

But businessmen are nothing more than pen players after all.

A few years later, the pen-playing gang used words to crush the merchant class.

But that's also after the curtain call.

Now, the power of capital can decide everything.

Due to the general environment, people in China have had a hard time in recent years.

The bankruptcy of a large number of state-owned enterprises has caused countless laid-off workers.

Lost jobs, lost income.

Many people who are serious have become idle criminals in society.

Theft, robbery, and adultery.

Endless.

It is better to read a thousand books than to walk thousands of miles.

After crossing several major provinces in China, Zhao Jiangchuan became more aware of the economy and background of this era.

Man is born a blank slate,

So many vicious road rage robbers didn't give birth to him as a road rage robber.

Poverty leads to chaos, chaos leads to poverty, poverty becomes poorer, poorer and poorer it becomes.

After traveling thousands of miles, with the height at which Zhao Jiangchuan once was, how could he not see where the root cause of the current Huaguo problem is.

He is well aware of how desperate the need for the economy is at the top.

Poverty is the root cause of social chaos, and if it continues like this, it will even shake the foundation of the country.

There has never been a shortage of people with lofty ideals in Huaguo, and so many think tanks have gathered together, and they must have seen what Huaguo needs most now.

Otherwise, there would be no 92 Southern Tour, the opening of the domestic market, and there would be no high-level investment promotion meeting.

All because of.

Poor.

Poor enough to be poor that you can't open the pot.

Huaguo is short of money, but the people of Huaguo are hungry, and the local governments of Huaguo are also short of money.

In many cases, the central government is too poor to open the pot, let alone a local government like Ludao.

When a large number of state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, causing a large number of unemployment, they also suffered heavy losses in tax revenue.

Born in an official family, Zhao Jiangchuan knows very well that if he only relies on Zhao Donglai's previous salary, the family will not even be able to live.

Sometimes, Zhao Donglai's salary cannot be paid.

Even the salaries of officials are in arrears, let alone cadres at the grassroots level.

Poor at all levels.

There is no salary in the system, teachers are in arrears, and even in some towns and villages, teachers may not be able to pay their salaries for a year or two.

And the monthly salary of those teachers is only a mere 180 yuan.

The government can't come up with a salary of dozens of yuan, and you can imagine how poor the local government will be by now.

In this case.

The Ludao government will definitely take the 500 million investment at all costs.

With this 500 million investment, not to mention the big plan given by Jushi Capital, just the construction project will provide a large number of jobs for Ludao.

From construction workers, to material engineering, suppliers, manufacturers to pay taxes on profits, to electricity, hydraulics, and so on.

These are all solutions to urgent needs.

Or rather, this is the death hole of the whole country.

In many places, in order to alleviate the pressure on employment, some local governments have even packaged large enterprises for capital at the price of one dollar.

Although there are many black-box operations, there are also certain reasons for necessity.

High debt ratio and high unemployment.

Only by taking over the funds can we support the employees of those enterprises who have lost their jobs.

It's all because of one thing.

No money.

Zhao Jiangchuan completely grasped the death hole of the Ludao government.

What's more, in addition to this, there is also the huge plan given by the boulder.

The tallest building in China.

The largest financial center in China.

This kind of big pie is enough to smash anyone unconscious.

Xiao Jialiang was also dizzy.

When Vice Mayor Li Qingshan was negotiating with Robert, he was also communicating with Zhao Jiangchuan.

As a secretary, Xiao Jialiang knew that the negotiation at China Merchants was just a formality for people to see.

The real thing is still in the hands of him and Zhao Jiangchuan.

But under Zhao Jiangchuan's dazzling fall, he felt that his brain was dizzy.

"Jiang Chuan, you tell Uncle Xiao the truth, what you said is true? Uncle Xiao is a little secretary, but he can't stand your blind toss. ”

In private, Xiao Jialiang didn't have any arrogant look.

This huge investment can be said to be related to his lifelong political career.

Not to mention the grand plan.

Even if the building is built, it is enough to add the richest color to Xiao Jialiang's political achievements.

The tallest building in China.

This name is enough to be boasted about for a lifetime.

But if it can't be covered in the end, it will become a stain on Xiao Jialiang that can never be erased.

1,000 acres of land.

No kidding.

Don't give money to others to build a building, and in the end the building is not completed, it will definitely become a big laughing stock.

Even if it doesn't work, Xiao Jialiang's lifelong political career will be ruined because of this.

This kind of consequence is really difficult to bear.

Now, Xiao Jialiang just wants Zhao Jiangchuan to give him the most sincere answer.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to let go of his heart.

Zhao Jiangchuan calmly took a sip of tea.

This guy despised Xiao Jialiang fiercely in his heart.

If you want political achievements, but you are afraid of taking risks, how can you have the best of both worlds in the world.

Uncle Xiao, it's not like this to take advantage.

For Xiao Jialiang to climb up the pole, Zhao Jiangchuan is how greasy and crooked he is.

Zhao Jiangchuan swallowed the tea in his mouth slowly.

When Xiao Jialiang was in a hurry, this guy pushed the design in front of Xiao Jialiang.

"Uncle Xiao, look at it yourself, just this design drawing is worth 600,000 US dollars, you say I'm not serious, are you teasing you, how dare I have that guts. ”

Xiao Jialiang didn't read the overall design drawing, he couldn't understand it anyway, and it was useless to read it.

But after the completion of the renderings, Xiao Jialiang looked at it.

It's gorgeous, it's elegant, it's a mess.

Modern skyscraper complex.

CBD Business Centre.

So Xiao Jialiang was very depressed.

If it weren't for this overall rendering, where would he talk nonsense with Zhao Jiangchuan here.

Xiao Jialiang grimaced.

"Xiaochuan, it's not that Uncle Xiao can't trust you, but your request is too harsh, a thousand acres of land, even if you grow sweet potatoes, you can still sell it for a few dollars, you took away all the benefits of a hundred years, what should we do?"

"My big secretary Xiao, you are the dignified secretary of Ludao, how can you calculate such a small account, a thousand acres of sweet potatoes, this is a shame for you. ”

"Hey, you don't know how hard life is in the city right now.

Do you know that the teachers have not been paid for four months, and when there was no holiday a year ago, all the teachers went on strike, and I even posted my salary before sending it out.

You say, I'm not in a hurry when I'm so financially tight. ”

“…”

Xiao Jialiang suddenly mentioned the teacher of the three high schools, which made Zhao Jiangchuan stunned for a moment.

Then, my heart twitched.

Zhao Jiangchuan remembered his English teacher, his homeroom teacher.

Li Hanruo.

The first woman in his life.

Half a year has passed.

But no matter how Zhao Jiangchuan inquired, he couldn't tell where Li Hanruo was.

In the past, Zhao Jiangchuan still felt that Li Hanruo couldn't escape from the palm of his hand.

But now, Zhao Jiangchuan has discovered that things are far from being as simple as he imagined.

Li Hanruo seemed to have evaporated out of thin air in the world.

The school information is all fake.

According to the address left by Li Hanruo at the beginning, it did not exist at all.

Even Zhao Jiangchuan used all the connections that could be used, but he couldn't find Li Hanruo.

Zhao Jiangchuan has read hundreds of copies of the information with the same name and surname, but no one is the Li Hanruo he is looking for.

This result made Zhao Jiangchuan angry for a while.

This little woman actually set such a big problem for him.

Zhao Jiangchuan had already guessed that Li Hanruo's background was definitely not simple, otherwise he would never have found it with such great effort.

"Egawa..."

Xiao Jialiang's voice recalled Zhao Jiangchuan's thoughts.

Zhao Jiangchuan hurriedly said.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm sorry, I thought of the school when you mentioned No. 3 Middle School just now, but I didn't expect the local finances to be so tight.

When I go back, I will take out 1 million and use it as a reserve fund for the teacher's salary.

The students educated by teachers are the future of a country, and if the lives of teachers cannot be guaranteed, then the education of young people cannot be implemented. ”

Zhao Jiangchuan's words made Xiao Jialiang look sideways for a while.

In Xiao Jialiang's eyes, Zhao Jiangchuan is indeed the pride of the sky.

At such a young age, he has mastered wealth that ordinary people can't imagine, and that is definitely not an ordinary person.

But that's about it.

Zhao Jiangchuan gave Xiao Jialiang the feeling that he was a complete capitalist at all.

Clever and wise, all used to make money.

Ruthless, cunning as a fox, scheming is very human.

This is Xiao Jialiang's real evaluation of Zhao Jiangchuan in his heart.

Do capitalists have good people?

No.

The Suzhou Red Bean incident has passed, but the aftermath has not subsided.

In addition to the two lives, countless people have lost their families because of this.

And behind this, there is the shadow of Zhao Jiangchuan.

Xiao Jialiang really found it hard to believe that he would hear from the mouth of a capitalist this kind of concern for the future of the country and the nation.

It's like a weasel going to give a chicken a New Year's greeting.

It's so fake.

Xiao Jialiang's strange eyes fell on Zhao Jiangchuan, and Zhao Jiangchuan immediately sensed it.

He laughed to himself.

"Does Secretary Xiao think that a capitalist like me shouldn't say such things?"

Xiao Jialiang didn't speak, but it was a tacit acquiescence.

Talking to a smart person like Zhao Jiangchuan, there is no need to hide and hide the official tone.

It doesn't make any sense not to say it, but it will be looked down upon.

"Then Secretary Xiao, why do politicians like you take out all your salary to pay people's salaries?"

Zhao Jiangchuan's words were very polite.

Almost scolding politicians is not a thing.

But Xiao Jialiang was not angry, but laughed.

This laugh.

Zhao Jiangchuan also laughed.

Ultimately.

They are all still individuals, although there are not many ingredients in this person.

But after all, it can still be regarded as a person.
