Chapter 1000: Renovation of the Old City
"What's going on with Zhendong?" Seeing that her husband was a little absent-minded when entertaining the family of the good sisters, Jiang Min thought that her husband looked down on the peasant status of the family of the good sisters in the past, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"There are new changes in the renovation of the old city in Beishan District, and I am afraid that we will have to withdraw. Chen Zhendong said in a low voice.
"What? How can this be, didn't you say not long ago that Vice Mayor Zhang Rui, who is in charge of this project, is very optimistic about your plan?" Although Jiang Min didn't ask much about her husband's business, she still knew some things, and her face couldn't help but change greatly when she heard this.
"Vice Mayor Zhang Rui is optimistic, which does not mean that other leaders are optimistic. Chen Zhendong sighed.
"So what should I do? You have put a lot of energy into this project, and you have deliberately given up a lot of other good projects for this project, and have transferred a lot of funds to come over. Is there no hope at all?" Jiang Min's face turned a little pale, and he asked without giving up.
"I guess it's gone. My plan has been completely overturned, and I am not even qualified to participate in the bidding, and just now the secretary of the deputy mayor Zhang Rui called and said that Donghong Company is also involved in this project, and they have a big background in the province, and it is estimated that they have used this layer of relationship, and now several other leaders of the project team have changed their tune, and it is said that Mayor Zhao has also spoken. Chen Zhendong explained in a low voice.
"How can there be such a thing, isn't this a collusion between officials and businessmen?" Jiang Min said angrily when he heard this.
"Jiang Min, what you said is a bit naΓ―ve, in our country, businessmen are inseparable from the government, how can there be any collusion between officials and businessmen. Don't say this again in the future, it's not good to be heard. Chen Zhendong said a word to Jiang Min, then picked up the wine glass, gestured to Xia Yunjie's family, and said, "I'm sorry, Lao Xia, sister-in-law, something happened in the company just now, so I'm a little sluggish, please don't be surprised." β
"How so! The company's business is important. By the way, does it matter, do you need to deal with it now? We don't have to worry about us, you don't have to think about us. Xia Mingpeng asked.
"Hehe, it's basically decided, there's nothing that needs to be dealt with, drink, drink. Chen Zhendong smiled reluctantly, and then drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.
As Jiang Min said, Chen Zhendong spent a lot of energy on the renovation of the old city in Beishan District in the early stage, and even gave up many other promising projects for this project, in order to concentrate all the funds on this project. Although he said it easily on the surface, he was actually very depressed in his heart.
Seeing that Chen Zhendong had changed the style of drinking slowly just now, the people in the box could see that he was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, Jiang Min hurriedly snatched the wine glass from his hand and said, "You have a bad stomach, don't be in such a hurry to drink." This project doesn't work, and doing another project is, anyway, our family is rich enough now. β
"What the hell is going on? Can you tell me about it, maybe we can help figure it out. Because Jiang Min did not despise the former good sisters because she was now a billionaire, the two unexpectedly reunited, in addition to heartfelt happiness and sincere feelings, and did not mix with any other utilitarian intentions, so now seeing that the former good sisters' family seems to be in trouble, Jiang Xiaojuan couldn't help but ask with concern, and deliberately glanced at her son when she asked this.
In the businessman's affairs, Xia Yunjie didn't want to participate in it, but when he saw his mother looking at him, Xia Yunjie knew that his mother wanted him to help Chen Zhendong, so he had to nod at her slightly, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking to himself, I thought that this time I came to Xiping City just to surprise Sister Hong and Sister Yan, but now it seems that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and now there is one more thing.
"Do you want to find a way? My father's business is tens of millions and hundreds of millions at every turn, what can you do to think about it?" Chen Yufan was young and vigorous, he was impatient to stay here, and when he saw his father borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he was also a little anxious and worried, and when he saw that his mother's friend from the countryside was ashamed to say that he might be able to help think of a way, he couldn't help but sneer for a while.
"Hey, Yufan is not allowed to talk to Auntie like this, Auntie is also kind. Jiang Min saw that his son's exit was not inferior, so he hurriedly reprimanded. However, it is not difficult to hear from her words that she actually agrees with her son's words, of course, she does not mean to belittle Jiang Xiaojuan in the slightest, but it is true. How can a village woman, who has ever seen the biggest official, that is, a village chief, find a way to help a rich man who can talk directly to the city leaders?
"Actually, it's nothing, since my sister-in-law wants to hear it, I'll talk about it, anyway, this matter is no longer a show. Chen Zhendong also glared at his son, and at the same time worried that Jiang Xiaojuan would not be able to get off the stage, so he casually talked about the renovation of the old city in Beishan District.
"You have also seen that the development of our Xiping City is changing with each passing day, and if it continues to develop at this rate, the degree of prosperity in the future will not necessarily lose to your coastal cities. However, in addition to being a modern city, Xiping City is also an ancient city with a long history, and some areas, especially Beishan District, still retain many ancient buildings. But it is precisely these ancient buildings that not only cost a lot of money every year to maintain, but also limit the progress of modern urban development in Beishan District. The local residents do not see the historical buildings as a precious heritage left to them by history, only that they are hindered from their development, that their houses cannot be compensated for demolition as in other places, that their roads are expanded, and that traffic is jammed on their side...... In addition to some historians and archaeologists, not only the government believes that the historical buildings of the old city of Beishan District hinder the development of the city, but also the local people, so the issue of the renovation of the old city of Beishan District has been raised again and again. β
"I used to live in Beishan District, so I have a deep understanding of the situation there, especially the inconvenience caused by the development of the local area and the people caused by the dilapidated historical buildings. But at the same time, I am full of feelings for those historical buildings that are getting dilapidated day by day, and if those historical buildings are swept away in order to make way for development and the construction of a modern city, then Beishan District will no longer be Beishan District in my opinion, but Beishan District that has lost its soul. So I had been thinking about a way to have the best of both worlds for a long time, and I consulted a lot of experts in history, archaeology, and urban construction, and finally found a way to get the best of both worlds. β
"Important historical buildings and cultural relics are resolutely not moved, and the rest are also retained as much as possible, if it is really impossible to preserve, special demolition methods can be adopted, and then in other places that do not affect the transformation of the old city, they can be rebuilt with demolished materials, and try to restore the original appearance, in other words, the historical buildings that cannot be preserved are relocated to another place according to their original appearance. Of course, this method, the old city renovation will inevitably not be carried out drastically, the cost, and the construction period, will certainly be greatly increased, but it can do its best to preserve the precious wealth left to us by history. β
"When the municipal government proposed the renovation of the old city in Beishan District this year, I seized the opportunity to discuss this plan with Vice Mayor Zhang Rui, who was in charge of the project, and several other project members, and they all agreed with this plan, especially Vice Mayor Zhang Rui, whose father is a historian himself, so he was especially positive about this plan. Because of the support and affirmation of the project team leaders, I have done a lot of work in advance, so I have great confidence and hope in this old city renovation project, thinking that even if I can't undertake most of the project, I should be able to get at least a small part of the project. But just now the secretary of Vice Mayor Zhang Rui called me to tell me that now the plan for the renovation of the old city has changed, and he thinks that the previous plan still cannot meet the requirements of the comprehensive renovation of the old city, and the cost and construction period are beyond the budget range. In this way, the cost is low, the construction period is short, and the fully renovated old city also meets the requirements of long-term development in the future. β
"Of course, the renovation of the old city is a big project, involving not only the problem of the program, but also the issue of the interests of various groups, hehe, these are not much use to tell you, in short, I put a lot of effort into this project, and now there is a lot of ** is going to be in the soup. β
"Yun Jie, what do you think?" Jiang Xiaojuan naturally didn't understand this, and after listening to Chen Zhendong's narration, she set her eyes on her son. She knew that her son was a capable person, and there was always a way to help, of course she wouldn't force him to help, so she still asked for his opinion.
Mother has this thought, Xia Yunjie naturally wants to pay attention to it. Listening to Chen Zhendong's meaning, his plan seems to sound like the best of both worlds, but there are always trade-offs in everything, so it can't be said that the project team's later old city renovation method must be wrong. Of course, Xia Yunjie himself is still more inclined to protect historical buildings.
But this kind of thing is not child's play after all, it is not good for him to support it casually, otherwise with his influence today, as soon as he opens his mouth to support, the plan for the transformation of the old city will be completely decided. If this plan is good, it naturally doesn't matter, but if it is not good? Isn't it because of his words that it has affected the lives of many ordinary people in Beishan District?
Therefore, the more high-ranking people are, the more cautious they must be in their words and deeds, because many times, their words and deeds are no longer their personal affairs, but involve thousands of ordinary people.
"Qin Lan, I don't understand this, you should know better, and you also know about Xiping City, what do you think of this matter?" In the end, Xia Yunjie did not directly answer his mother's question, but transferred the question to Qin Lan.
Qin Lan is the director of the Dongtong City Public Security Bureau, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and a family of eunuchs, so his knowledge in this area is naturally more "professional" than Xia Yunjie.
