Chapter 283: My Brother-in-law's Family Has Become Rich
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family sat together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
All the foreign debts owed have been paid off, and the husband and son each have their own careers, so the family is on the verge of prosperity.
Perhaps the only regret of Gu Honglan is that her own round table is too empty and cannot accommodate all the people sitting on the four sides.
"I wish my dad good health and a prosperous career!"
"I wish my mother good health and all the best!"
Because they had to drive to the city later, Luo Yang only poured a glass of red wine.
When he toasted and gave his blessings, he put his parents' health first.
Luo Jianguo was fine, and he wished his son academic success and career success after the new year.
The Queen Mother used to care about her son's studies, but now she doesn't even mention them anymore. She just gives Luo Yang a "hard dish" and hopes that the family will have another person the year after next and another person the year after next.
How impatient this is!
And during the entire dinner, the topic that dominated her conversation was about marriage proposals.
Lao Luo was even given a task target, requiring him to buy a villa with a yard in the city by the first half of next year.
Luo Jianguo didn't feel any pressure at all and happily promised to do it.
The second half was spent asking Luo Yang about the situation of the Jiang family. Otherwise, if he didn't have an excuse to go on a date with Jiang Fan, the New Year's Eve dinner might not be finished until eight o'clock.
After escaping his mother's questioning, Luo Yang drove to the city.
It was about half past seven at this moment, and the sky along the way was already exploding with splendor.
It is another New Year's Eve with thousands of flowers blooming in the east wind.
On this day, you can also see Lao Zhao’s skits during the Spring Festival Gala, and fireworks can be set off in the city.
Under the illumination of fireworks, Jiang Fan smiled as bright as a flower.
When Luo Yang returned home, he didn't even have time to watch the Spring Festival Gala. From the moment he took out his mobile phone, the executives of his company, college classmates, high school classmates, leaders, and business friends never asked him to stop.
Text messages wishing a happy new year and best wishes came one after another.
Because of the low battery of his mobile phone, he even had to run back to his room upstairs and lie on the bedside to send and receive messages.
For subordinate executives, most of them just edit a text message and send it to a group.
A few, such as Shang Guozheng, An Ying, Song Wan, etc., all edited a separate text message to reply.
There were also several leaders who edited their greetings according to the other party's age, position, etc.
These are one-time responses.
Even to Liang Yuxin, Shen Jinglan, Yu Fang, and even Cao Zixi, he only gave a brief reply.
The key is Jiang Fan and Jiang Wen, who come one after another, and Luo Yang cannot reply too quickly and needs to review carefully.
If you reply incorrectly, it will cause big problems.
For example, Jiang Fan sent a message saying, "Luo Yang, the big square fireworks tonight are the best looking. Can we buy a few more next year?"
At the same time, Jiang Wen sent a message: "Luo Yang, the fireworks outside are so beautiful. There is one that explodes into golden flowers. It's so beautiful. Can you buy one and let me see it next year?"
The content is similar, and the responses are only slightly different.
But what if you send it to the wrong person.
It was not until almost twelve o'clock that Luo Yang ended his chat with the two people because he was going to fire a closing shot.
The so-called closed-door firecrackers are firecrackers set off before 11:59 on the lunar New Year's Eve, meaning the family should rest.
The restaurant is closed after this time and no longer welcomes guests.
After 12 o'clock, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Setting off firecrackers at any time after that until dawn is called the opening firecrackers.
It means that the family is ready and starts to welcome guests to visit them for the New Year.
He and Luo Jianguo divided the work and cooperated with each other, one setting off small firecrackers and the other setting off large firecrackers, and together they made a perfect end to 2010.
There's nothing much to say afterwards, so you should wash up and go to bed early before the opening cannon starts.
For Luo Yang, or for most Chinese people, the time before New Year’s Eve is the time to look forward to the Chinese New Year.
After this night, everything was empty.
From the first to the fourth day of the New Year, people visit relatives and friends, wish each other a happy new year, and eat one meal after another.
There is a custom of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. In the morning, Luo Yang visited the Zhengyang Group and the preparatory team of the ready-mixed cement mortar factory, setting off firecrackers and distributing red envelopes.
I rushed to Shanghai in the afternoon and visited Naixue and Kunpeng Technology again.
After welcoming the God of Wealth with the executives, Luo Yang did not rush back. He called Chu Jianming to his office to discuss some things.
"What date is the contract signed in Heyang City?"
"We have an appointment to sign the framework agreement on the 12th."
Chu Jianming took the cigarette handed to him by Luo Yang, lit it, and replied with a hint of joy on his face: "I will officially start work the day after tomorrow. I will review the agreement with the team again and arrive in Yang City on the afternoon of the 11th."
"Isn't the 12th a Saturday?"
"It's a day off."
"I see. By the way, which leaders will attend the signing ceremony of the framework agreement?"
"Director Xu Yuanzheng of the Investment Promotion Office said that the executive vice president will definitely be present, as well as several leaders from the Development Zone Management Committee, the Development and Reform Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Investment Promotion Office, the Land, Planning, and Construction departments. The corresponding deputies from each department will also be present."
Chu Jianming read out the names one by one: "As for whether the senior officials will come, we will have to wait until the 11th to get the news."
Luo Yang nodded: "Well, I will attend on behalf of Kunpeng Technology, but you will be the one to attend the signing ceremony. After all, you are the director and legal representative of Deyang Motor."
Deyang Electric Motor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kunpeng Technology Holdings.
In the future, this company will be responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of the Kunpeng UAV's body materials, and the production and manufacturing of motors and propellers (the technical research and development will be completed in a laboratory established by the Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology).
"I almost forgot to tell you an important thing." Just when Chu Jianming thought the conversation was over and was about to leave, Luo Yang remembered something.
"After the beginning of the year, the Yang City Land and Resources System will go to the province to attend a seminar and study session."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "They will present an innovative work report at this seminar, which will describe in great detail how to innovate work models using new drone technologies. You should be mentally prepared. There may be many visits from February to April, and there is a high probability that you will receive a number of orders."
"Boss Luo, this is a good thing!"
After hearing the news, Chu Jianming immediately smiled.
He said happily: "Originally, the technical department needs more parameters. Without practical applications, relying solely on the flight time collection of our own prototype is too simple and slow. If we can get more orders, it will be of great benefit to the research and development of the later stabilization system!"
In Chu Jianming's concept, perhaps this batch is just a dozen aircraft.
Luo Yang shook his head slightly.
Although he doesn't know how many orders there will be in the end, one thing is certain: the number will definitely be more than a dozen.
Moreover, he was certain that the purchasing volume of counties and cities north of the Yangtze River would be far greater than that of several regions south of the Yangtze River.
As for the reason
During the last chat, Tang Hailin jokingly mentioned that their system had seven departments in the provincial department, six of whose leaders were promoted from Jiangbei.
Of course, it is impossible to say these words to Chu Jianming.
Because Luo Yang was not 100% sure.
After finishing these things, Luo Yang called Zhao Jiang to return to Yang City.
The car he drove for the round trip was the Mercedes-Benz S500L, as he didn't dare drive the Bentley directly home.
How long has it been since you bought your new car?
So before returning home before the New Year, Luo Yang parked his Bentley at the Zhengyang Group factory, and drove back in his old Mercedes-Benz.
He will drive the Bentley away only when he returns to Shanghai after the winter vacation.
It was already half past five when he returned to Yang City. It was his aunt Gu Hongqiu's family's turn to host a dinner party on the fifth day of the New Year, so Luo Yang went straight to the restaurant.
The Gu family has a large house, with more than a dozen adults alone. Add the children and there is not enough space for one table.
In recent years, whenever the family invites guests for dinner, two tables are set up, with adults and children, men and women sitting at each table.
The women talked about family matters, while the men had a wide range of topics to talk about.
From military affairs to economics, covering Europe, America and Asia, the gossip about politics is even more intense, from Washington to Yang City.
Luo Yang didn't say much at the dinner table, trying to downplay his presence.
However, he has done so many surprising things in the past year or so, so whenever people talk about Luo Jianguo and Qiao Shian, they will naturally bring him up.
"Shi'an, the gossip in town is that you are going to make progress this year. Is that true?"
It's called gossip, but there's no smoke without fire and it shouldn't be underestimated. When Gu Baitao spoke frankly about the gossip, no one at the table took it as a joke. Instead, they all turned their eyes to Qiao Shian.
"Dad, that's not happening. Boss Qu is still more than a year away from leaving the country."
Qiao Shian smiled and said, "Besides, the specific implementation time of the project in the town has not been finalized yet. Before we see the light of day, the achievement will not be counted on me."
"Why don't you just ask Jianguo about this? He is a shareholder of that company now."
Luo Yang's uncle Gu Xuebing looked at his brother-in-law and said, "You must know the approximate time, right?"
"It should be fine in the first half of the year, but the exact time is unclear."
Luo Jianguo responded with a smile: "Although I am the vice president, I am mainly responsible for the civil engineering. I don't know much about the early stage of the project promotion and decision-making. I am not afraid to be embarrassed to say it. Maybe Yangyang knows more than me."
Luo Yang: “.”
He was hiding well, but suddenly he was sold out by his own father.
Everyone at the table looked at him, most of them were elders, what could he do?
"The framework agreement can be signed in February."
Luo Yang had talked about it during dinner at Fu Bin's clubhouse a few years ago, so he knew a little bit: "The specific implementation of the project depends on the time of land acquisition and demolition. My uncle-in-law knows more about this, after all, the town is in charge of this matter."
"The one in Dongzhuang?"
Gu Baitao is a know-it-all in the town. He must know about such a big thing as land acquisition and demolition: "It is said that the standards for land acquisition and demolition have been announced."
Gu Xuebing also nodded: "Our institute has also received the notice and we must cooperate with the town to do the relevant work."
The topic returned to Qiao Shian.
"Originally, it was Boss Qu who was in charge of the arrest, but now it has been thrown to me."
He affirmed his father-in-law and brother-in-law's words and continued, "Fortunately, the land acquisition scope is not basic guaranteed farmland, and only 17 farmers in Dongzhuang are involved. We can discuss it after the city's standards are announced. The key is fiscal allocation, and the time is difficult to control."
"The money was advanced by Cathay Pacific."
Luo Yang interrupted, "For first-level development, all initial expenses will be paid by the development company, including the supporting construction of seven connections and one leveling."
"real or fake?"
The uncle Gu Xuebing was surprised and said: "If it is all advanced, this amount of money is not a small number. Is Cathay Pacific so strong?"
"The initial budget was about million yuan, and the peak fund usage was around 2 million yuan."
Luo Yang was the one who prepared the project feasibility report, so he knew clearly: "Of course, the actual cash investment doesn't need to be so large, and the land transfer fee can be delayed."
There are some things you can say and some things you can’t say.
For example, the estimated total scale of this project reaches million yuan. Even if the cost of land transfer fee is excluded, the gross profit is about 35% (the cost of using funds generated by advance payment is not calculated).
This is the advantage of the first-level development model.
Even if the capital cost of 10 points is taken into account, the gross profit can still exceed 25%.
"Be good."
The look in the eyes of brother-in-law Gu Xuejun changed when he looked at his elder brother-in-law.
Luo Jianguo owns 20% of Cathay Pacific’s shares!
My eldest sister's family is really prosperous.
Monthly ticket, monthly ticket. And monthly ticket!
