Chapter 51: Hidden Dangers
"Zhou Yu." Li Yuenlong said very solemnly: "The shantytown renovation of the county suburban square is a project that benefits the people involving the vital interests of thousands of households, and it is the first practical thing that County Magistrate Jin has done for the people since he took office. It is not a face-saving project, let alone a political performance project, but a project that allows the people to enjoy tangible benefits and the dividends brought by reform. ”
Li Yuanlang put down half of the Cuban cigar, this thing is too strong, he is a little unaccustomed to smoking, replaced with Liqun, who often smokes, Li Yuanlang sighed: "At present, only three companies have signed up for the bidding, only Hengyong is the only one, and the successful bidding is nine out of ten." To be honest, I really don't want to see him succeed. What is the details of Hengjia real estate, your brother should know very well, it is a leather bag company that buys and sells short, the most important point is that he Hengyong will not care about the quality of the project, what he cares about is money. ”
Li Yuenlong looked slightly excited. "Your Zhengdao real estate is famous, and you do real estate, relying on word of mouth, quality, and price to the people, these three points are exactly what our government needs very much. Zhou Yu, this shed reform is an exam for County Magistrate Jin, and the same is true for me. Either we don't do it, or we must do it well. Isn't he Heng Yong relying on his father with an official background, Heng Yong is not Heng Shizhan, and Heng Shizhan is just the head of the organization, so he can't control the shed reform. I also make a statement here, I fully support your participation in the bidding, I have reported this matter to County Magistrate Jin, and he also expressed his support, I want to see you in the afternoon. Zhou Yu, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will do my best to help you when you encounter difficulties, how about it? ”
These sincere words were transmitted to Zhou Yu's ears, especially when he heard Li Yuanlang's heartfelt words of serving the people and sincerely wanting to do things for the people, Zhou Yu was deeply impressed by Li Yuanlang's integrity.
He has endured hardships and lived a poor life, and he especially understands the bitterness of the people at the bottom. He invested in the real estate market, did not have a desire for profit, did not earn black money with a bad conscience, paid close attention to the quality of the project, insisted on using good building materials, and the housing price was set very low.
His goal is to make ordinary people able to afford to buy and live in houses, and to minimize the overall decline in the quality of life due to mortgage pressure.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu, like Li Yuanlang and Jin Sheng, has a red heart.
Especially when he heard that Li Yuenlong fully supported him to participate in the bidding, even the county magistrate had to meet with him to express his attitude. Zhou Yu thought to himself, Hengyong has the support of his father, and I, Zhou Yu, have the great help of the county magistrate and the director of the county government office, which is not inferior to you at all, what am I afraid of!
There is also the fact that he owes Li Yuen Long a favor, although Li Yuen Long never mentioned a word from beginning to end, but he remembered it in his heart. When his benefactor encounters difficulties, how can he sit idly by?
So Zhou Yu also immediately expressed his position, and said refreshingly: "Yuen Long, everything has been said about this, and it will be beyond my power to push back and hinder." ”
Immediately, he slapped the face, the beautiful secretary came in, Zhou Yu asked the female secretary to take out what he had already prepared, and said to Li Yuenlang: "I have brought the bid, you have sincerity, I Zhou Yu also with sincerity, and I will give you the bottom, my bidding team is waiting in the company in the provincial capital, as long as I give an order, I will immediately rush to Ganping County, and devote myself to the preliminary preparation of the bidding." Yuen Long, if I, Zhou Yu, can't take this project this time, I won't have the face to see you in the future, and I will live up to your trust in me. ”
Li Yuanlang laughed, pointed at Zhou Yu and said, "You guy, you don't see the big temple, you don't kowtow, you don't see the real Buddha, you don't burn incense." ”
Zhou Yu touched his big belly and smiled ashamedly: "Yuen Long, in business, I am a businessman, I have money but I have no power." If I didn't have the backing of you, the big director and the county magistrate, to be honest, I really wouldn't have the courage to wade into this muddy water. ”
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds." Li Yuanlang smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"As soon as it's decided, I'll let the secretary sign up." Zhou Yu was also an anxious person, and when he shook hands with Li Yuanlang, he had to instruct the secretary to handle the matter immediately.
Li Yuanlang waved his hand to dissuade him: "No matter how anxious you are, it's not bad for a while, let's eat first, I'll take you there after eating, and go to see County Magistrate Jin together." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Yu responded happily and asked, "When will Tianhou come?" ”
Li Yuanlang looked at the time and said, "I called him on his mobile phone just now, he is on his way here, and he is estimated to be almost there." ”
Ji Tianhou and Li Yuanlang Zhou Yu are both college classmates, this time Zhou Yu came to Ganping County, Li Yuanlang had already informed Ji Tianhou in advance that he was very busy now, and deliberately took time out to rush back to the county seat, in order to meet his old classmates and do something else by the way.
I really can't resist chattering, as soon as Zhou Yu mentioned his name, Ji Tianhou came in from outside, and said half-jokingly: "Are you talking bad about me behind my back again, Director Li." ”
Talking to Li Yuanlang here, he warmly shook Zhou Yu's big hand tightly, and commented on Zhou Yu's figure, who had gained a lot of weight.
Ji Tianhou has lost weight, he hasn't seen him for a few days, the whole person is dark and thin, and he has dark circles under his eyes, he must have not rested well. Li Yuanlang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw him like this.
"Tianhou, we must pay more attention to rest, combine work and rest, and do not work hard, besides, we are not young anymore." Li Yuenlong was distressed and persuaded him.
"Yuen Long, you really are right," Ji Tianhou's eyes lit up at the mention of work, and he immediately opened the conversation, "Shuiming Township is too poor, the roads are not good, mountain products cannot be transported, and there are many mountains, and the crop harvest is not high, these are the fundamental factors restricting the local economic development." ”
Ji Tianhou took the Cuban cigar that Zhou Yu gave him, took a big puff, was choked and coughed, and even said what kind of cigarette this is, it is too strong.
Li Yuanlang heard that he still had something to say, so he asked him to continue.
"I spent two days walking through most of the villages, observing the terrain and landforms, and really found a good way for Shuiming Township to get rid of poverty and become rich immediately." Ji Tianhou said very excitedly.
"What's the best way to go?" Li Yuanlang and Zhou Yu asked him almost in unison.
Ji Tianhou deliberately sold a pass, looked at the two of them separately, and then explained slowly: "Executive Deputy Township Mayor Xiao Zhan proposed to me to establish a quarry, and he also introduced me to a southern boss, who said that he would pay for all the investment in the quarry, and our township government would only be responsible for running the procedures. Yuen Long, Zhou Yu, think about it, the quarry has quick results, can solve the employment problem of some people, and can also pay profits and taxes to the township. ”
When Li Yuanlang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. There are many mountainous areas in Shuiming Township, and there are many stones on the mountain, and there is no shortage of raw materials. But the key is......
"Tianhou, you have to think about it, over-logging will cause soil erosion, it's early autumn, the weather forecast says, affected by the typhoon, we may face a heavy rainfall here in the next few days, don't have any danger." Li Yuanlang was very worried that Ji Tianhou would use the mining to quickly solve the poverty problem in Shuiming Township.
Later, Li Yuanlang specifically asked Director Shang of the Land and Resources Bureau for this purpose, and Lao Shang studied geology and had the right to speak in this regard.
Director Shang shook his head into a rattle when he heard this, and he analyzed from a professional point of view that Shuiming Township is a large basin, and there are various pine trees growing on the nearby mountains, once the stone is mined, it is bound to destroy the original ecological balance, and once it encounters heavy rain, it is easy to cause mudslides or flash floods, resulting in unpredictable losses.
Director Shang also said that as long as he is in office, he will not even think about building a quarry in Shuiming Township. This is responsible for the lives and safety of the people in Shuiming Township, and it is also responsible for the township party committee and township government.
Now, Ji Tianhou wants to shake this ballast stone again, Li Yuanlang can't help but worry, and he strongly advises him to be cautious.
As a result, Ji Tianhou shook his head for a while, waved his hand disapplaudively, and said: "Yuen Long, you are a good person, but you lack courage, you always look forward and backward in doing things, and lack long-term vision." I asked a lot of experts and scholars about this matter, and the township also held many meetings to study it, and Secretary Ma supported this matter in 100 ways. To tell you the truth, this morning I have already gone to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Safety Supervision Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Taxation Bureau, and in the afternoon I will go to the Land Bureau to find Lao Shang to apply for a mining license, and this matter is basically complete. ”
Li Yuanlang also wanted to persuade him that this matter was unreliable, and he should still be down-to-earth, according to the path he pointed out to Ji Tianhou, while developing local processing of mountain products, while trying to find a way to solve the problem of road repair, and implement these two items, Shuiming Township's economic take-off is just around the corner.
But Ji Tianhou couldn't listen to it at all, and he was already determined to take the road of quarrying. Seeing that the two had a tendency to argue, Zhou Yu hurriedly interjected, saying that he was hungry, when would he start eating?
Li Yuanlang and Ji Tianhou often come here, and they are almost memorizing the recipes and ordering eight special dishes. Because there was something going on in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol, and it was all replaced by mineral water.
During the banquet, Ji Tianhou learned that Zhou Yu is currently the big boss of the real estate and intends to bid for the shed renovation project, and greatly praised it. Subsequently, the three of them talked about interesting things when they were in school and talked about the movements of many classmates.
Zhou Yu asked Li Yuanlang with a smile: "I see that you Shui Tingyue has the meaning of continuing the front edge for you, last time our college classmates had a small gathering in the provincial capital, and when I chatted with Shui Tingyue, she talked about you." How about old classmates, confess, right? ”
Ji Tianhou laughed, pointed at Zhou Yu and said, "You boss, you are well-informed in business, but men and women are outdated in private matters. Director Li has already secretly joined forces with Shui Tingyue, so you just wait for the time to follow. ”
"You big horn, this thing is still walking on the road, Gu Hongyan may not be able to pass this pass." Li Yuenlong replied truthfully.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and your others can't grab it." Zhou Yu picked up the water glass, replaced the wine with water, and congratulated Li Yuanlang.
For a moment, there was a rare sound of laughter in the private room......
