Chapter 437: Buying an Island
"Just don't admit it. Western countries will not admit it, Lao Sheng is equivalent to sinking into the sea, and when the archives are declassified, it will be 50 years later. It's death without proof, you know? ”
"I'm fine, I'm afraid of yourself."
"That's what I'm doing, even if I'm suspected, I won't be interrogated, so I've been persuading you to join our department."
"That's still it, although I won't be interrogated, but it's like being tied hand and foot for the rest of my life, it's not interesting. Well, what's the news for me. ”
"I can tell you right now that there are islands for sale in the Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka that anyone can buy."
"Isn't there a LTTE in Sri Lanka that fights government forces? Where it is not peaceful, who dares to buy it? ”
"You are an old yellow calendar, people have already reached an agreement, if you want to buy it, go quickly, otherwise the price will increase in the future, and now it is only 500,000 yuan per square kilometer."
"Okay, let me ask, do you want it?"
"If you have someone to come by, buy me a small island, a few square kilometers is enough, there must be a beach, the kind of coconut grove, help me build a villa, connect the power supply, and buy a yacht."
"Okay, I'll hear from you in a few days."
When I got home from work in the afternoon, I asked my wives if they knew about it, and Mengyu said, "Where did you know the news of this late arrival?" ”
"Why, you already know the way?"
"I have been there with Mengxin and Sister Xia, and I have lived there for two months, and you haven't asked. So we didn't say it either. ”
"You bought the island?"
"We didn't buy it. They were all bought by Chairman Xiong of the company. There are 12 islands, large and small. The large one is more than 50 square kilometers, and the small one is 4 square kilometers, adding up to 300 square kilometers, and the distance between them is 200 nautical miles. ”
"Is there oil there to extract?"
Meng Xin smiled: "You just want to make money, there are coral reefs there, only tourism resources." We are building an airport on the largest island, which will be ready for use in the second half of next year. Chairman Xiong plans to arrange for employees to take vacations since the opening of the airline. ”
"So you're already in development?"
"Yes. The company builds roads, builds houses, plants trees, flowers and plants on the islands, and grows tropical vegetables and fruits, and basically next year the vegetables will be self-sufficient, and in a few years there will be enough fruits to eat, as long as the grain is transported from the mainland. As a result, the tree has grown up, and you can transport some durian and other fruits to your home. Mengxin said.
Wuyang said: "Durian is only what you like to eat, and I can't smell that smell." Did you leave the island for ourselves? ”
Mengyu said: "It is 10 nautical miles from the largest island. There are two islands with an area of about 12 square kilometers, and between the two islands is a rock crevice 100 meters apart. The other sides of both islands are sandy beaches with coconut groves. We discussed building a palace on top of the crevice in the rock, which would be our other home in the future. ”
"What should I do if there is a typhoon in the rock crevices?"
"It's near the equator, and it's calm all year round. There are also fresh water resources, and the only drawback is that they can't grow food, otherwise they can't leave the island. ”
"Food is not an issue now. The biggest fear is war, as soon as war breaks out, everything will be difficult. Brother Ouyang also wants an island, the kind of coconut groves, beaches, and fresh water, as well as villas and yachts. ”
Yan Yuxia said: "What's wrong with this? I'll get in touch with that side right away and arrange it right away. ”
"Sister Xia, when will it be built?"
Yan Yuxia said: "It's hard to say. Now there are more than 50,000 construction workers on the island, more than 10,000 agricultural workers, and in addition to water, fish, salt, and even sand mixed with concrete have to be transported from the mainland. It can't be built in 3 or 5 years. In addition, Chairman Xiong's decision to build the airport and resort first was delayed. ”
"It doesn't matter, a good meal is not afraid of being late, and you have to do it well."
"We all think that way. Recently, I was going to go to the UK with Wu Fang, where I would meet Xiaoying and Pei Lei, see Buckingham Palace, Versailles, and the Kremlin, and return from Russia all the way. Find references for our palace and come back before New Year's Day. ”
"Okay, learn from others, our Forbidden City should also refer to it."
"Yes, I'll go to Xijing when I have time."
Wu Fang said: "Wuyang, I think our family's industry has developed too much, and now just abroad, except for Antarctica, there are our family's land and enterprises, and there are more than 50 resorts under construction or opening, and there is always a feeling of being difficult to control." Isn't it time to brake? ”
Wuyang smiled: "Xiaofang, don't be afraid." The more we build, the more we earn. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is a war in a local area, or the company is not operating well, one or two companies are lost or closed down every year, which is enough to be lost for decades. Besides, we weren't stupid enough to make up for the loss. ”
Wu Fang said: "Our family has a big business, and it is right to say this. However, we can look at it in a more positive light. For example, in addition to the resort, we also have more than 200 five-star hotels, whether we hand it over to Hilton and other large hotel chain institutions to manage, then we will make a steady profit, and the hotel's intangible assets, land, real estate are rising in price, we are the biggest winner. ”
Wuyang said: "I am in favor of doing this. When you go out this time, you will stay in the most famous hotels, see their advantages and disadvantages, and find out the gap between our domestic hotels. While the hotel is handed over to others for management, we also send people to the hotel to learn and improve our management level. Also, because we have too many hotels, people may not be willing to manage them, we can also hire experts, or buy other people's golden ideas at a high price. ”
"Okay, then I'll tell Chairman Xiong. Chairman Xiong is still obedient to my words, and with your support, he will definitely implement it to the letter. ”
"Xiaofang, are you familiar with our enterprises abroad?"
"Unfamiliar. I had no choice but to return to Lujiang. I'll go to the board of directors to see it. Xiao Jia also goes there often, and they are all our acquaintances. ”
Guo Jia said: "I also know a few money-making companies, and I don't care about the rest." A total of 9 of the oil fields are now being developed by themselves and cooperatively, and 3 will produce oil next year. This year's profit will increase by 60% from last year to 2 trillion yuan, and next year it will increase by another 50%. There are also several diamond mines in Africa, and the diamonds mined this year. has been sold, that is, tens of millions of dollars, to maintain a situation of no loss and no profit. ”
Wuyang said: "Mining diamonds is like this, it is very good to be able to do not lose or make money at ordinary times, in case you encounter a big diamond, you will make a fortune." ”
Guo Jia said: "Yes, a giant diamond was found this year, a 4D-level one, and it was auctioned by Sotheby Auction House." ”
"What is 4D-class?" Boa asked.
Wuyang smiled: "What you wear around your neck is the top diamond." ”
"A diamond isn't worth much." ”
Guo Jia said: "I used to think so. It is only now known that the weight of a diamond is important when calculating the price. For example, a carat is 30,000 yuan. Two carats is 2 squared times 30,000 yuan, and 360 carats is 360 squared times 30,000, which is 550 million US dollars, which is quite considerable. ”
Belle said, "Isn't that worth more than jade?" ”
Wu Fang said with a smile: "We Chinese like jadeite, Westerners like diamonds, red, sapphires, our family has gem mines in Africa and Myanmar, which can meet the needs of East and West, and making money is certain." ”
Guo Jia said: "Wuyang, we now have jadeite and diamonds, and we should vigorously develop jewelry stores abroad." ”
Wuyang said: "Haven't we already opened some? ”
Guo Jia said: "They are all opened in hotels or Chinese communities, and the scale is not large, the variety is not complete, and there is no profit." ”
"Then just let go of your hands and feet."
Belle sighed, "We're all out of the money." In the afternoon, Sister-in-law He called and asked us to go over and have a look, but we really didn't want to go. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Aren't they building a wool yard, the engineer calculated, our wool yard is 500 meters long, 1000 meters wide, that is, all 4 meters high, can only stack 6.6 million tons, 3 wool yards are stacked 17.8 million tons, we bought back this time to send 2.4 million tons, if it is really not very popular, several times it will be full. Therefore, Sister-in-law He plans to dig 10 meters down the place where it is stacked, and then build a 5-meter basement where it is placed. ”
"Okay, that's going to be a lot more stored." Wuyang said.
"But the wool is about to be delivered, and there is no way to construct it."
"What's so difficult about this, you stack wool in one wool yard and build the other two, isn't it? The big deal is to add some forwarding freight. ”
Belle smiled, "It's really smart, and it's a fool." The good business of this New Year's Day is not in time. ”
Wuyang said: "To what extent have you built your wool yard? ”
"It was bulldozing the ground, building a fence, and connecting water and electricity."
"Then I'll tell you a way to make a lot of money."
"What's the best way?"
"You pile up the wool in a mess in the wool yard, set up a temporary shed to put the stone cutter, and then contact the people from the travel company and ask them to bring people over, and introduce them to the wool yard that has not yet opened, unlike the wool yard that has been selected by thousands of people. Of course, you also have to bring some wool with jadeite in it. This is both a gimmick and a sweetness, and it is not a customer overflow. ”
"How much good wool do you want to transport?"
"At least 1,000 yuan. Pick those who don't perform well on the outside, just let them go at will. ”
"Then we didn't lose money?"
"This is called taking a small loss and taking a big advantage. Besides, you don't have to be picked away, and you have something to attract the attention of your guests in the future. This time you try, if it is successful, on the iron frame, you still have to put some good wool. I am really reluctant, but I also want to find a nursery, cut some jadeite out between the stones, this is psychology, it is said to master the gambler's temper. ”
Belle smiled: "What kind of psychology is to deceive people." We still have to buy wool from others, and Sister-in-law He will do it if she wants. If you don't want to, even if you ”
"Whatever you want."
The publicity period for the proposed cadres has arrived. Documents issued by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee have been issued one after another. After the new personnel were in place, Wuyang held a mayor's office meeting to adjust the division of labor of the deputy mayor. Liu Canhui took Huang Benli's, Teng Yan took Liu Canhui's, Hu Changsheng took He Jinbo's, and Zeng Qingrong took Hu Changsheng's. The re-established China Merchants Bureau will be placed under the supervision of Teng Yan.
China Merchants has just been established, the personnel are not yet in place, and the team candidates are being prepared. Zhang Jie called and said, "Boss, I don't want to work in the company anymore, I'd better come to you." ”
"Then how about you come over and be the director of the China Merchants Bureau?"
Zhang Jie said: "It doesn't matter what you do, it's Yao Qi, Li Zaimin, and Chen Yifan who want to come over, do you want to arrange it?" ”
"What are their positions?"
"All three of them are at the deputy director level."
"Is it okay to level it out?"
"I'm all flat, why can't they? If not, forget it. ”
"How about the four of you teaming up?"
Zhang Jie said: "Will it make you embarrassed? It's okay if you're not embarrassed. ”
"It's not very difficult to be embarrassed, and if you want to improve, you have to look at your results."
"That's nature."
"Okay, you tell me about your and their work units, current positions, etc., and I will ask the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee to issue an order. Oh. The landline is ringing, you and my secretary Cui Section Chief Say. ”
The call was made by Secretary Dong. "Comrade Wuyang, I recommend you a person, it was recommended by Secretary Teng, Secretary Lin's niece. is not a party member yet, and it is not easy for the municipal party committee to arrange it. ”
"It's called Lin Hua, I know. Secretary, we are brewing a candidate for China Merchants Bureau, what position will Lin Hua hold? ”
"She is the secretary of the general branch of the school's department, and I don't know what level of position Lu Dao is, she is studying art, so she will work in the mission department, and it is not appropriate to be promoted for the time being."
"It's good. Secretary, I have a matter that I was supposed to report to you in person, so let's talk about it now? ”
"Say it. It's hard to run. ”
"I used to be a subordinate in Zhongnan, a department-level cadre, the son of the secretary of a provincial chapter, and his work ability is very good, he wants to come to work, and I want to arrange for him to work in China Merchants. In addition, there are 3 cadres who are cadres at the deputy department level, and they have a wide range of contacts across the country, and they also want to come over, can you take a look? ”
"It is said that those who are transferred from a good place to a backward area like ours should be promoted, but we have just adjusted the cadres now, and there is no way to do it for the time being, so let's stuff them all into the China Merchants Bureau. The work of China Merchants is not easy to do, and there are hard indicators for whether there are achievements or not, so let them try to do it. You get their resumes, and I arrange for the organization department to issue orders. ”
"Secretary, then thank you."
"You're welcome. In this cadre adjustment, you didn't arrange for a cadre to come in, and I doubt that you have any friends. There will be a chance to say it in the future. ”
"It's good."
"Comrade Wuyang, have you been dismissed from your civil servants?"
"We are resolute in implementing the instructions of the municipal party committee."
"Okay, it's okay."
This time, seven people from the municipal government's administrative bureau were arrested in the anti-pornography campaign, and after Xiang Yang's investigation, six people had a bad reputation. There is a regimental cadre who has been transferred from the army, and his performance in the unit is acceptable, but he has a tendency to be violent at home and does not honor his parents. It happened that during this time, Wuyang was in a bad mood because of Lao Sheng's matter, so he was simply fired. I didn't expect Secretary Dong to ask about this matter, if he was really not expelled, I'm afraid the matter would be big.
Seeing that at the end of the year, the newly appointed acting governor demanded that the tax collection task be overfulfilled on the basis of last year, and strive to increase by 15 billion yuan for the whole year. For this reason, he personally called Wuyang and said that he must help.
Wuyang said: "It is supposed to complete the task, and we must do everything we should collect and solve problems for the leaders." ”
The words are said, and Secretary Dong has the final say on whether to accept it or not. went to report to Secretary Dong, but I didn't expect Secretary Dong to not only receive a call from Governor Hu, but also a call from Secretary Teng, and also made a promise.
The two agreed, called Liu Canhui, and Liu Canhui called Director Cheng and Director Zhu.
As soon as he sat down, Director Cheng complained, "Secretary, mayor, we are really in trouble." Last year, we completed 11 billion, this year has completed 71 billion, and there are only 10 days before New Year's Day, and the company's funds are used to buy raw materials, where can it be recovered all at once. ”
Wuyang said: "You want to think of a way, go to the enterprise to urge, there will be a way." ”
"My big mayor, my people are on vacation, how can anyone urge me."
Wuyang glanced at Secretary Dong, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Secretary Dong said: "Director Cheng, we are also implementing the instructions of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and I hope you will support you." This year, the municipal finance has also allocated 200 million yuan to you, which should be said to be okay. ”
"Secretary, we only built the office building according to the need, without taking into account the lack of financial resources, the spread is too large, and now we have no money after half of it."
Secretary Dong smiled, "We are all old friends, so let's talk about it." Mayor Li promised you the same treatment as the Local Taxation Bureau, how much less do you earn than them? ”
"I don't know how much the local tax bureau has, ours is 310 million."
"Director Zhu, what about you? Report the actual number. Secretary Dong said.
"We're 390 million."
"Does your data include the county bureau?"
Director Zhu said: "It does not include the county's tax share and the bonus given by the county government. If you count them all, you have to add 50 million. ”
"Director Cheng, what about you?"
"Plus 30 million."
"Okay, I'll call the shots and add $100 million to the IRS. In addition, Mayor Li will also give you a bonus. ”
Wuyang smiled and looked at the two of them, "The two directors, this year's tax task has been completed well, on behalf of the municipal government, I will give 50,000 yuan to each of the leading groups of your municipal bureau, 20,000 yuan to each of the leading groups of the county bureau, and in addition, when you hold the year-end summary and commendation meeting, you will give each cadre 5,000 yuan." ”
"Xie Lu, thank the leaders of the municipal party committee and government." Director Cheng said.
"The municipal party committee and the municipal government are too supportive of our work, thank you for your work, thank you for your work." Director Zhu said.
Secretary Dong said: "Two, no matter who is the secretary and mayor of the city in the future, the task is completed well, the year-end bonus is there, and you can only ask your provincial bureau for other money, this is the first time, and the last time." ”
"Two, after you finish declaring in December, how much will you still have to press? Is there a way to take it back? Wuyang asked.
Director Cheng said: "We also pressed 3.2 billion yuan, find a way to collect it." ”
Director Zhu said: "Secretary, mayor, we have put 6.65 billion yuan into the warehouse, and there are still 5.2 billion yuan left in the tax revenue of several large enterprises, and there is no problem with the storage this year, in fact, I also received a notice from the provincial bureau." But we have so much excess this year, and there is nothing to do in the first quarter of next year, because there is still income tax final settlement, but it is difficult to say whether it can be completed in the future. ”
Secretary Dong asked: "What is it for?" (To be continued......)
