It should be said that Bufan is lucky and happy.

Fortunately, he was able to return to his parents safely after a full decade abroad, and happily, he had a parent with complementary personalities and wise and open-minded who could give him guidance in addition to understanding and tolerance.

And these two are indispensable for Bufan. Because this is the source of motivation for his survival, and it is also the most important reason for him to return to his hometown to live in a second-tier city.

Mother's care, father's advice, and even sister's playfulness all play a great role in the heart of Bufan, who is attached to family affection. After such a family meeting, he was able to refine his plans again, and he became more confident in his plans for a private institute.

......

In this kind of winter when there is often heavy snowfall, and it is close to the Spring Festival, in addition to the farmers and hawkers who are busy making a living, most of the people in the second-tier small cities like Baima are very lazy, especially the leaders who control the fate of the city, and they are a little lazy, but this is also human nature, in the cold winter, if the officials are diligent, they will be scolded to death by their civil servants behind their backs - because they will be busier.

The same is true for the water conservancy bureau where Bufan works, and naturally there will be no water conservancy projects in winter when the ice is harder than steel, but if there are any accidents such as broken pipes and ground pipe surges, everyone will have no chance to be idle.

Fortunately, the probability of such accidents is so low that in this northern city, winter is almost the dormant period of the entire water department.

This winter, among the "dormant" staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Bufan is the only exception.

For the plan in mind, he has to travel around the various functional departments in the city every day. The city government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau are the ones he has run the most, and nearly 20 million East Asian dollars sounds like a lot, but for a city, even a second-tier city, this amount of money is actually insignificant. However, Bufan's purchase of the old research institute involves the revitalization of bankrupt state-owned resources and the relayout of the entire city, which is not a trivial matter, so no one dares to be negligent.

The mayor and secretary in charge of the overall situation always pay attention to the general direction, and the deputy mayor in charge of the industrial port, the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the director of the China Merchants Bureau, the director of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, and the director of the Urban Construction Bureau...... There are even the chief directors of the science and technology commissions, and all these heads and brains will show up on this matter; the corresponding departments of power and responsibility of various ministries must also dig out the information from the pile of old papers for verification and analysis, and on the other hand, Bufan must keep his own interests from being damaged in the entanglement of these departments.

This is a complex task, a work of reconciling interests with co-ordination.

Fortunately, in these years, this ancient Eastern Republic has been constantly rectifying the rule of officials, so the current political field is much cleaner than Bufan knows, in the process of handling this matter, except for endless trivial problems, no one dares to deliberately procrastinate or kick the ball, as for the solicitation of bribes and other behaviors.

Maybe there is a little, but it will never be the main reason, Bu Fan is too lazy to consider the cause and effect here, what he needs to do is to pay this morning and deal with the handover procedures, and then contact the various departments to repair the construction plan, and wait until the first time spring comes, and officially start the first step of the plan.

......

On Thursday, January 24, 2019, the 19th day of the lunar calendar, Bufan signed and handed over a check for 21 million East Asian dollars, and then obtained a certificate of land use right provided by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Baima City, as well as six labor entrustment agreements, which are water supply, drainage, electricity, roads, communications, and gas construction guarantees, of which the land cost is 16 million, and the construction cost of the rest of the ancillary facilities is 5 million - this can be said to be a cheap price.

In other words, after the delivery of 21 million East Asian dollars, the former site of the former gear factory research institute was officially transferred to him personally, and in addition to the heating facilities, the functional departments needed to ensure the supply and demand of the institute in six aspects.

On January 25, 2019, the day after the contract was signed, Bufan got the architectural structure of the old site of the institute.

On January 26, 2019, on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Bu Ma Bu Dad, including Bu Fan's colleagues, most of them began to prepare for the upcoming Spring Festival, Bu Fan was buried in the pile of drawings - the existing buildings on the site of the institute are obviously not enough to use - originally only for the characteristics of the gear industry research, Bu Fan needs a small but comprehensive research institute.

Therefore, it is imperative to repair and build new buildings, and before communicating with the architect, he, the new owner, must first understand the connotation, at least decide which structures will be kept and which ones will be demolished...... Again, this is a complex project.

On February 5, 2019, the Spring Festival, in the days before and after, Bufan was surrounded by relatives, drunk by colleagues, and spent several days in a row, which was the first Spring Festival he spent after ten years of foreign career, a drunken Spring Festival.

During this festival, the Bu family held another family meeting, in addition to the preparation for the college entrance examination of the big Lori Bu Nan, Bu's mother finally relented, in view of Bu Fan's special situation, the endless blind date matters finally came to an end.

However, this result is temporary, Bu Fan's mother gave Bu Fan a two-year free choice period, which means that he has two years to settle down his career and choose his own girlfriend, if he is still a single person for more than two years, then the blind date will continue again.

Hooray, horrible Bu Ma!

On February 10, 2019, the sixth day of the first lunar month, Bufan flew to Beidu, met with three architectural design firms, drew up a bidding plan, and began to screen construction contractors at the same time, all of which were officially concluded on February 20, that is, on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

On February 22, 2019, Bouvan returned to White Horse and began his final career as a civil servant.

This period of time is probably the most comfortable period for Bufan.

Get up early in the morning every day to exercise to maintain the physical fitness of a survivor, chat and fart with a few colleagues and friends who have no interests during the day, and when I go home at night, I coax my mother to chat happily, chat with my father about work trivialities, squeeze my sister who is busy preparing for the college entrance examination, and then under the threat of my crazy sister, I will be busy with my research topic for a while, and finally when I am tired, I will lie on the bed and fall asleep with peace of mind.

For Bufan, who is full of crisis, such days are simply not too fulfilling.

Unfortunately, laid-back days are never short. On April 15, 2019, Bufan officially resigned from the Whitehorse Water Conservancy Bureau, and his short career as a civil servant came to an end.

In fact, before this, after the ice and snow melted, the supporting construction led by the city government had begun to proceed step by step, and Bufan, the owner of the novice research institute, was no longer suitable for mixing in such a small yamen as the Water Conservancy Bureau.

On April 20, 2019, a construction company with the prefix "Zhong" entered Whitehorse and began the renovation and expansion of an old research institute 7.5 kilometers northwest of the city.

According to the previous agreement, leaving the supervisor of Party A of the project of the Baggen Research Institute, Bufan began to constantly travel between equipment suppliers and trade fairs all over the country, tasting and screening suitable laboratory equipment - his tens of millions of euros are really a drop in the bucket for the laboratory's needs, and he must not be extravagant and wasteful, careful planning is necessary, and the trade fair is the best window to carefully examine market trends, which helps him to orient his preliminary research goals......

During this period, the word wandering is really appropriate, Bufan's itinerary is often in Huainan today, ZX tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow to Chaoshan, such a busy life, for many people, it is inevitably too tired, but for Bufan, it is an experience, is the best way to enrich his horizons and understand the world - compared to the propaganda pictures on the Internet, it is obviously more accurate to actually see.

On September 21, 2019, the renovation and expansion project of the 230-acre Bufan Private Research Institute finally came to an end, and on the old site 7.5 kilometers northwest of Whitehorse, a six-storey old Slavic building with an east-west orientation in the center was completely renewed.

Around the three main buildings, all of the ground has been hardened, except for some tall trees that have been reserved as green belts, and a heating facility with a built-in electric stove is located in the southeast corner, and the gray concrete façade makes it unremarkable......

Because the wall on the original site had long since collapsed, and the surrounding area was turned into bricks and rubble, after the completion of this project, the bricks and rubble were cleaned up, and a granite fence with a height of six meters and a thickness of half a meter was rebuilt, and the wall was even laid with barbed wire and dense cameras, making this building not like a research institute, but a prison with heavy walls - Bufan never wanted to build a garden-style factory, he was more concerned about safety and confidentiality.

On October 14, 2019, after many meticulous and careful monitoring, Bufan went through the formal handover procedures with the prefix "Zhong" Construction Company, and calculated the total cost, which turned out to be as much as 140 million East Asian dollars.

This cost can be said to be nearly seven times the cost of land purchase, but it is also really worth the money, not to mention the complexity of the internal structure reinforcement and reconstruction of the building, just the seemingly ordinary hardened ground outside the building is not simple, it is completely in accordance with the airport runway construction standards to build, even the world's heaviest mining heavy truck is enough to park!

After nearly a year of busyness, the basic framework of the institute conceived by Bufan is in place, and he finally has a foothold in his hometown of Hakuba.
