Chapter 349: Unwarranted Provocation
She didn't dare to ask until Su Yutong walked out with a stack of documents.
Naturally, Luo Yang had no way of knowing about it.
Along with the opening of a new batch of stores, a trendy clothing brand named Coolpad was officially put on the shelves.
Shang Guozheng has been busy running around and has not been in the factory these days.
After finishing the daily affairs that had accumulated, Luo Yang didn't even stay for lunch and drove directly to Shuangfeng Town.
Although it was not the weekend, the town of Twin Peaks was obviously much more lively than before.
The pilot park project invested by Cathay Pacific here is not yet in the peak period of construction investment, but even so, it has already gathered nearly 2,000 workers and their families.
There are many business units coming to the project, and the parking lot is full every day with people coming and going.
This is the effect brought by the real estate industry chain.
From the source of land to completion, more than fifty categories are involved, and the industrial chain extends to two or three hundred small industries.
At one time, the real estate industry accounted for more than 10% of the national economic growth.
Now is the glorious moment before sunset.
Such a project has also brought significant economic benefits to Shuangfeng Town.
Not to mention anything else, business in restaurants, vegetable markets and supermarkets alone is more than twice as good as before.
"I thought you were traveling!"
Qiao Shian was about to go out when he saw his nephew: "Come on, accompany me to take a look at your father's construction site."
"It's so hot outside that workers have to avoid the heat. If they want to go, they have to wait until after 4pm."
Luo Yang sat down and insisted: "Uncle-in-law, isn't it uncomfortable to use the air conditioning in the office? Why do you have to suffer this?"
"I'm not as comfortable as you."
Qiao Shian complained boastfully, "I have to report the project progress to the city leaders every week. I can't just stay in the office to keep track of the project, right?"
Well, as soon as I felt a hint of cold wind, I rushed into the sauna outside.
It's even hotter on the construction site. The office built in prefabricated buildings is not heat-insulated, and the air conditioner only works when the temperature is set to 18 degrees.
Luo Jianguo is also in the office at this time.
Unlike Pan Shouchun, the vice president in charge of external relations, all engineering matters are summarized to him, and he cannot leave until the end of the working day.
Of course, it’s still the early stages of the project and there is a lot of work to do. When things are progressing smoothly, it’s okay to be away occasionally.
"Brother-in-law!"
When Qiao Shian saw Luo Jianguo, he greeted him and said, "Did someone come to coordinate the relocation of the agricultural power poles in the east?"
On the east side of the first phase of the land development, there is a row of more than a dozen concrete electric poles, providing electricity to Dongwangzhuang and Xiwangzhuang.
The old-fashioned electric poles are not high enough, so even if you raise the arm of an excavator higher, for example, it is easy to hit the electric wires, let alone a crane.
Of course, the project requires that these lines be moved outside the red line first. When the road is built in the future, pipelines will be pre-buried on both sides and pass underground.
Qiao Shian received feedback from the project company and mentioned it in his work report last week. The city helped coordinate with the power supply company and asked its subordinate rural power company to come and coordinate the relocation.
"People are here, but the price is a bit steep..."
Luo Jianguo smiled bitterly and said to his brother-in-law: "Thirteen poles, if we move them, the total cost is reported to be more than 600,000!"
"so much?"
Qiao Shian was stunned for a moment, then said, "I thought a few hundred thousand or a hundred thousand would be enough."
"You want to build a well?"
Luo Yang spoke at this time: "And the poles of the new trees are also high, plus the detour will increase the distance a lot... I guess they will definitely use the distance as an excuse to require the installation of distribution cabinets and control boxes..."
"It's just a temporary migration. We'll have to go underground when we return. Is this necessary?"
"Except for the low-voltage power facilities at the entrance to the house, all the power facilities outside are considered assets of the power supply company. They will definitely take the opportunity to add equipment. Even if they are buried underground in the future, the power facilities outside can be used elsewhere."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "You should let Mr. Pan coordinate this matter, but it doesn't make much sense. He drank until he vomited. He can get a discount of 100,000 at most. Anyway, the cost will be shared later, so it's better to show some favor..."
Only an experienced wizard who has experienced several projects can say this.
But Luo Jianguo was used to it.
"Then you should talk to Lao Pan."
He smiled and said, "We have to find him something to do."
In fact, it means giving the benefits to Pan Shouchun.
The electrical engineering of a project is the biggest part after the general contractor, and the interests involved may be worth millions. If Luo Jianguo can realize this, he will not suffer any big losses in Cathay Pacific in the future.
"Dad is so insightful!"
Luo Yang gave a thumbs up and praised Lao Luo exaggeratedly.
Qiao Shian also sighed at the side.
My brother-in-law is becoming more and more stylish...
"You haven't had lunch yet?"
Luo Jianguo stood up and smiled: "Let's go to the canteen to get something to eat. I'll call Zhou Jiansong over and we can eat and chat together."
Zhou Jiansong is the project manager and is very familiar with the conditions at the construction site. His introduction is equivalent to Qiao Shian going to the site.
Luo Yang: “…”
So this is what my uncle-in-law meant by going to the scene to get first-hand information!
No wonder they are not afraid of the high summer temperatures...
The small canteen at the construction site was quite exquisite, after all, the people eating there were either managers from Party A or people from the supervision unit. Qiao Shian was busy understanding the progress of the project, so Luo Jianguo and his son Luo Yang had time to chat about personal matters.
"It's been such a long vacation, and I haven't gone back to see your mom. She's been complaining about it several times..."
Luo Jianguo asked with a smile: "Did you go traveling with Jiang Fan?"
"I did go to Hong Kong, but not with Jiang Fan."
Luo Yang was afraid of the summer heat, so he just ordered some cold noodles for lunch. While stirring the stew, he said, "I have done some business for my company in the Magic City, and I have also made some private investments..."
tsk...
My son's words made me feel very unfulfilled as a father.
"Your third uncle called and said there's a villa for sale."
This is something that gives you a sense of accomplishment. Luo Jianguo said, "If you don't go out these two days, take some time to go and have a look with your family. I heard it's still in rough condition..."
"Let's call Uncle San to join us!"
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "This weekend, I've checked the weather forecast and it's going to rain. Can you spare some time?"
There’s a weather forecast sheet on the wall of the construction site to tell whether it’s raining or not. How could I not know that?
Luo Jianguo smacked his lips.
Seeing his son eating noodles noisily, he also felt hungry and quickly ate the food.
"Should we call Xiao Jiang?"
When Luo Yang put down his bowl and chopsticks, Luo Jianguo suddenly said, "Your mother means that this is a wedding house, and Xiao Jiang must be satisfied with it."
Queen Mother Gu wants to meet Jiang Fan.
Taking a roundabout way to find an excuse.
"Okay, I'll tell Jiang Fan later."
Luo Yang agreed with a smile.
"Dad, if you don't have any other troubles here, I won't stay this afternoon. I'll just go to the countryside to visit grandma."
"I want to go and see her. As soon as summer vacation comes, she starts talking about you."
Luo Jianguo nodded and said, "By the way, you can also go to your grandparents' house. You are the only one among the younger generation who has never been there!"
Luo Yang wiped his mouth and agreed with a smile.
It took less than half an hour to get from Shuangfeng Town to his uncle's house in the countryside. Because his grandmother was taking a nap at this time, Luo Yang started chatting with his uncle first.
"Uncle, has the purchase agreement been signed?"
"Signed. A three-year contract."
When Luo Jianjun saw his nephew, his face was full of smiles, and he was obviously in a good mood.
He smiled and said, "You're lucky. This wave of grapes has just come out. Your company will pick them up in a few days. I picked some and will bring them home to your mother later. I will also bring a few kilograms to your grandfather's family and your father-in-law's family..."
Luo Yang looked at Luo Juan who was standing beside him: "Sister, don't look at me like that, I brought you a gift!"
This time he went to HK, he brought back a lot of gifts, including some for his family.
As he spoke, he handed over a bag: "A set of cosmetics, and an iPhone..."
Luo Juan's face immediately turned from cloudy to bright.
He took the bag with a smile and asked casually, "Did you bring a gift for Luo Ting as well?"
"If I don't bring it, she won't even make me a cup of tea when I go to her house during the summer vacation!"
Luo Juan blushed and ran to pour tea for her brother.
Seeing the harmonious relationship between the sister and brother, Luo Jianjun also laughed heartily.
The two chatted about the fruit orchard, and Luo Juan occasionally interrupted to ask about interesting things in HK. More than an hour passed quickly.
Perhaps it was because he heard his eldest grandson’s voice that Hu Qingzhi ran out quickly after waking up.
Luo Jianjun was busy with his own business, while Luo Juan was cutting watermelon with a pout on her face.
At times like this, she was just her brother's maid in front of her grandmother, with her only purpose of serving.
The conversation lasted for more than an hour, and it was almost four o'clock before Luo Yang left his uncle's house.
When I left, there were more than a dozen small baskets of grapes in the trunk.
When she got home, Gu Honglan started to complain.
Until Luo Yang pointed at the grapes in the trunk and said, "Mom, if we put them in any more, they will be steamed. I have to send them to Grandpa and Jiang Fan's house!"
One is the mother’s home, the other is the daughter-in-law’s home.
Gu Honglan immediately stopped nagging and urged Luo Yang to leave quickly, without even asking whether he would be back for dinner in the evening.
So biased!
When he met Jiang Fan in the evening, Luo Yang brought it up and immediately made her giggle.
"I will have someone to back me up from now on..."
"Has someone forgotten the lesson from last night?"
Luo Yang said disdainfully: "You should learn to think before you speak and weigh your own strength. Blind optimism will only make you more passive..."
Jiang Fan retreated.
