Chapter 182 We are one family, so we don’t have to talk about different things
On Sunday afternoon, Luo Yang went to his uncle's house to chat with his grandmother for a while.
I arrived at Shuangfeng Town at around three o'clock, and unexpectedly, my grandfather Gu Baitao was also at home.
In addition, grandma Xu Guifeng, aunt Gu Hongqiu, uncle-in-law Qiao Shian, and cousin Qiao Jiajun were also there.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle"
"Yangyang is here."
My grandmother loves the hustle and bustle of life. She is always very happy whenever her children and younger generations come to visit.
"What a coincidence, I was just talking about you."
My aunt Gu Hongqiu is only 37 years old. She is well maintained and looks very young.
She didn't suffer any hardship since childhood, and her uncle-in-law doted on her, so her temper is still similar to that of a grown-up girl.
After seeing Luo Yang, he teased him with a smile, "I heard that you have a girlfriend, why didn't you bring her back to show the elders?"
Luo Yang knew her temper, so he joked boldly: "Aunt, you don't look like you brought a red envelope, so wouldn't it be a big loss for me to bring her home?"
"Hahaha"
Seeing his wife's frustrated look, Qiao Shian laughed.
But when he turned around, he was glared at by Gu Hongqiu, who immediately chimed in: "The bank in town is closed, but the ATM machines are not closed. Are you afraid that your aunt can't afford the red envelope?"
"Yeah, anyway, when Jiajun brings his girlfriend back, my mom has to give it to him!"
The flames of war suddenly spread to Qiao Jiajun, making him blush with shame.
The look he gave his cousin was very interesting: I didn’t betray you.
At this moment, even Gu Baitao and Xu Guifeng burst into laughter.
The atmosphere at home suddenly became lively.
"Let's have dinner here before leaving."
Gu Baitao glanced at Xu Guifeng and said, "It's almost four o'clock. Let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat."
"Mom, just make two simple ones. I'll go to the prepared food store and buy some more stewed dishes. Jiajun, come with me to the street."
In a few words, Gu Baitao, Qiao Shian and Luo Yang were the only ones left in the main room.
"Yangyang, I heard from Director Tang that you have a project planned for Shuangfeng Town. Why didn't you mention it to me last week?"
Qiao Shian gave a cigarette to Gu Baitao, paused, and then gave one to Luo Yang.
From this simple action, we can tell that his family already treats him as an adult. Twenty or thirty years ago, he would be the head of the family who could split up the house and support a family.
"Uncle-in-law, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's mainly because the land quota has not been fully implemented."
Luo Yang waited until the two elders had lit their cigarettes before he lit his own. "We will hold environmental assessment and energy assessment seminars later, and the news will naturally spread. When we solicit opinions on site selection, the town's investment promotion office will definitely come forward, and no one else can do anything about it."
What this means is that you, Qiao Zhen, have to step forward.
"That's not what I care about."
Qiao Shian smiled bitterly, looked at Luo Yang with curiosity and said, "Nearly 2000 acres of industrial land, a ready-mixed cement mortar factory, and an estimated investment of million. Good fellow, you, a college student, are in charge of this matter?"
"Jianguo and Lanzi never mentioned it to me."
Gu Baitao was also curious. You know, about a year ago, his eldest son-in-law's family went bankrupt and was still in debt of one or two million.
In just over ten months, not only did he pay off his debts (the money he had secretly given to his eldest daughter had been returned), but his eldest son-in-law also went to Shanghai to contract a large project.
Now it is even more magical. Luo Yang, who is in his early twenties, actually started a factory.
"Luck, it's all luck."
Luo Yang said modestly: "When I was working part-time in Shanghai, I met a big boss who was also working on this thing. He gave me inspiration, so when I came back, I discussed it with my uncle. When I found that there was a way to do it, I tried to push it forward."
"Luo Jianmin?"
Qiao Shian nodded: "I guess he was the one pushing this matter."
"Where's the money?"
Gu Baitao was worried and curious: "How did you get 2000 million yuan in funds?"
"Dad, this matter may have something to do with Yangyang's future father-in-law."
The remaining Qiao Shian began to fill in the blanks automatically: "2000 million is an astronomical figure for a family like ours, but it's just a drop in the bucket for Jiang Yuanshan of Yuanfan Group. Yangyang, did Yuanfan take a share?"
10% is considered as such, right?
Luo Yang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yeah."
Is this answer not considered cheating?
But you just made it up in your own imagination. If you find it wrong in the future, it is none of my business.
"It seems like he really treats you as his son-in-law!"
Gu Baitao exhaled a puff of smoke, then paused, turned his head and looked at Luo Yang: "Yangyang, I won't let you be a live-in son-in-law, right?"
Luo Yang quickly shook his head.
Jiang Yuanshan wanted to, but unfortunately I didn’t agree!
"Just don't come to the door."
The old man started smoking happily again.
Gu Baitao’s greatest wish is for his children to have harmonious families and successful careers.
After satisfying our curiosity, we started talking about attracting investment.
Since we were family, it only took a few words to get to know each other, and soon the topic turned to the pilot park.
"Although I was the first one to run in this matter, it was not important enough."
Hearing his nephew's question, Qiao Shian smacked his lips and said, "Although this plan is still under investigation within their bureau, according to Director Tang, it will be brought to the city for a meeting by September at the latest. By then, several large industrial towns will smell the opportunity, Shuangfeng Town..."
"Won't Qu Shengjun show up for something like this?"
The Qu Shengjun mentioned by Gu Baitao is the top leader of Shuangfeng Town. When it comes to competing for such projects, the boss must be at the forefront.
"Dad, it's the boss who will come forward at that time." Qiao Shian shrugged and said, "In terms of reputation in the city, Boss Qu is really not as good as the ones in other towns."
"He's just a wimp."
Gu Baitao is also a veteran cadre of the supply and marketing cooperative. When he talks about the people in the town, he never spares anyone: "In the past few years, the economy of Shuangfeng Town has fallen from the third to the sixth in the city. I think he is just doing nothing. The big project two years ago, everything that was in his mouth was taken away by others."
When a large project is implemented in a town or village, it will boost more than just GDP.
The contract workers when the land is expropriated can help solve the local employment problem; the hundreds or thousands of workers in the factory can boost consumption in the town; the town's economy becomes stronger, and the leaders speak more confidently, which can help the town obtain more financial allocations.
Not to mention Gu Baitao, all the older people on the streets of the town would curse a few words when talking about this matter.
This is the case in southern Jiangsu. The people only care about whether you can drive local economic development and make everyone richer.
The rest is none of your business.
If you are poor, your leader will still be scolded even if he eats pickles every day!
On one side is the father-in-law, and on the other side is the leader.
Qiao Shian could only smile bitterly.
"Uncle-in-law, don't rush this matter. There may be a chance for a turnaround."
After thinking about it, Luo Yang gave an uncertain answer: "No one in the city has ever adopted this model. Everyone from top to bottom will be a little nervous. But I made this report, so maybe they will ask for my opinions. We'll just have to adapt to the situation when the time comes."
Qiao Shian's eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten that this plan was proposed by you."
After saying this, he looked at his nephew with a smile.
"Whether it succeeds or not, my uncle-in-law would like to thank you first!"
"Grandpa, look, does this sound like something a family would say?"
Luo Yang turned to Gu Baitao: "You must let my uncle-in-law drink a few more glasses tonight!"
"Hahaha"
Gu Baitao said to his son-in-law proudly, "See? My grandson!"
"Dad, what are you laughing about so happily?"
Gu Hongqiu walked into the main room empty-handed, and Qiao Jiajun followed behind him, holding two bags of cooked food in his hands.
In the evening, the three men shared two bottles of white wine.
Gu Baitao was old and drank more than four taels. Qiao Shian had a good alcohol tolerance and drank nearly a catty by himself. Luo Yang was in the middle and drank about six taels.
After drinking, Luo Yang stayed at his grandfather's house.
The next morning, I went to Qingqing Garment Factory for a tour and drove back to Shanghai after lunch.
It was almost six o'clock when we returned to the university town.
Jiang Wen was not in the rental house.
Luo Yang took out his cell phone curiously and looked through the text messages.
The little goblin really left him a message.
"Luo Yang, I met Senior Shen when I was looking at the decoration, so I chatted with her for a while."
"Luo Yang, Senior Sister Shen has been helping to look after the store in July. She has put in a lot of effort. How about inviting her to dinner?"
The last message was sent more than ten minutes ago.
"Luo Yang, I'm so hungry. Senior Sister Shen can't bear it anymore."
When he saw this, he couldn't help but smile and immediately called Jiang Wen.
"Luo Yang, have you arrived in Songjiang?"
The call was answered immediately, and the voice conveyed happiness, without any sign of hunger as indicated in the text message.
"I'm in the rental house. I'll be downstairs soon. Please wait for me at the door of the store."
As Luo Yang walked out, he said, "It's summer vacation now, and there are not many restaurants open on this street. I'll take you to Songjiang for dinner."
"Yeah!"
As long as Luo Yang doesn't read, Jiang Wen thinks everything is fine.
Even after a weekend, she still feels traumatized.
In less than ten minutes, Luo Yang drove to pick up the two people and headed straight to the old town of Songjiang.
Because Shen Jinglan was there, the topic naturally turned to the milk tea shop.
"Luo Yang, we've hired a store manager, but the salary is a bit high."
Talking about the store, Jiang Wen was happy; "But you said that a good store manager can help me solve a lot of problems, so it's worth it to pay him a higher salary. This is true. After the contract was signed, I immediately arranged the things to be done in an orderly manner."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his bag.
"Look, there are more than a dozen items written on it. It makes me dizzy."
Luo Yang took it and glanced at it, then handed it back to Jiang Wen: "No matter how high her salary is, she is still working for you to earn money, just remember this."
"Hehe, please call me Mr. Jiang from now on!"
The shop hasn't even opened yet and the goblin is already floating up.
Shen Jinglan smiled and squinted her eyes as she said, "Boss Jiang, please take care of me when I join you in the future!"
Maybe he learned bad things from Luo Yang.
Jiang Wen folded her arms across her chest and said with a serious face, "I'm Party A, beautiful lady, have you figured out how to bribe me?"
At this moment, Shen Jinglan's expression was extremely strange.
The progress of one person is not progress. Luo Yang wants to push his family to make progress together. What do you think of this idea?
