Chapter 479: Small County Town Is Not So Easy to Have Fun
Luo Yang is still very interested in how to operate a company and list it on the A-share market.
So this afternoon, in addition to chatting with his father-in-law, he also followed Jiang Fan to the office of the preparatory work project committee and stayed there until the end of get off work before leaving Yuanfan Group with Jiang Fan.
The two of them had a quick bite outside and then returned home.
A short absence is better than a new marriage, like rain hitting the banana leaves.
"Honey, that's great."
After a satisfying session, Jiang Fan rubbed against Luo Yang, looking for a more comfortable position.
"Don't move. If you make someone angry again, you'll have to put out the fire yourself later."
"Hehe, little Luoyang is going to sleep!"
As soon as I saw that restless little hand, I knew that Jiang Fan had no intention of being afraid.
"hehe."
Luo Yang didn't try to stop him, his mind was thinking about other things.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
When the skin is in contact, the body is most sensitive. Jiang Fan immediately noticed that Luo Yang was distracted.
"Thinking about the day."
When a wise man is talking about something, it always feels like something is missing if there is no cigarette in his hand.
"About the company's listing?"
Jiang Fan raised his head slightly, looked at Luo Yang and said, "I think you are very focused today. Are you preparing for the listing of Zhengyang Group?"
The Guangfan wind energy project has not even laid a single foundation. It will take at least three or four years for it to generate benefits, not to mention the time for listing. Among the industries in Yang City, the company with the most hope of planning to go public in recent years is Zhengyang Group.
“We have this plan, but we will not list the entire group.”
Luo Yang stroked Jiang Fan's milky smooth back skin and said with a smile: "You also know that women's clothing includes sexy lingerie, which is also the main profit part. For these two reasons combined, it is better not to go public. I am more interested in operating the men's clothing brand and listing it in a package."
"Cool and fashionable menswear?"
After more than a week of study, Jiang Fan had a general understanding of the procedures for going public.
She thought for a while and said, "If you want to operate a separate men's clothing brand and list it on the market, you should start to separate it now, because your clothing factory is a group, but in fact it is just a name, and the structure is completely inconsistent. Fengshang and Coolpad have not formed independent complete company structures."
What Jiang Fan said is absolutely correct.
According to the current organizational structure of Zhengyang Group, if it wants to go public, only the group as a whole must meet the requirements. The two men's clothing brands are more like project departments divided internally, rather than independently operated subsidiaries in the full sense.
"That's what I meant."
Since they were talking about this, Luo Yang didn't hide it from Jiang Fan.
He thought for a moment and said, "I originally planned to set up a group company in Yang City, incorporating Zhengyang Group, Guangfan Wind Energy, Guangfan Electronics, Yangguang Electronics, Qingfeng Ready-mixed Cement Mortar Factory, Guoyang Construction, and Yangguang Culture and Tourism, which will be established in the first half of the year."
"husband"
Jiang Fan was also surprised as he heard the names being called out one by one.
She didn't care about her comfortable posture and sat up to look at Luo Yang: "You have already established so many businesses in Yang City?"
Luo Yang mentioned seven companies in total. Together with the industries in Shanghai that they talked about in Jiang Yuanshan's study a few years ago, Luo Yang already has more than a dozen companies of all sizes under his name, and many of them are developing well.
Three years ago, my husband's family went bankrupt and owed two to three million in foreign debt.
Luo Yang once wanted to break up with himself because of his inferiority complex.
In just three years, the world has changed.
"Although the current stalls are large, it will take two to three years to digest them. These industries are not mature yet, so in the next few years, we will probably just make some repairs. Only when these industries are mature will there be any major new moves."
Luo Yang also sat up a little, looked at Jiang Fan and smiled: "Of course, it also depends on your own mentality. Maybe your husband wants to be lazy and is satisfied with the status quo. It is possible that he will just lie down in the future, because as long as he does a good job in these businesses now, he will have a rich life in the future."
“More than just wealth.”
After hearing this, Jiang Fan also laughed: "If you develop all the businesses under your name, you will have at least tens of billions of assets in the future. My father will also want this amount. Husband, if you want to lie down, I support you!"
"Yes, a person's time is limited."
Luo Yang reached out his hand to touch Jiang Fan's cheek: "Although now is the best age for us to start a business, it is also the best time for us to enjoy life. How to strike a balance between the two is a test of wisdom."
Jiang Fan covered Luo Yang's hand that was on his cheek and looked at him lovingly.
"Honey, I'm sorry, the preparation team is very busy these days, so I don't have much time to spend with you."
She could understand what Luo Yang meant. The purpose of making money was to have a better life, otherwise it was meaningless.
"No regrets."
Luo Yang looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Everyone has their own pursuits. In addition to material and emotional pursuits, there are also spiritual needs to pursue career success. We have all the first two, and we are just starting the latter. In the future, let's support each other and grow together."
"husband"
This situation is extremely rare.
Because Luo Yang was used to playing tricks in such an atmosphere and never let Jiang Fan feel touched for long, he didn't cause any trouble this time.
"Why, you're so touched?"
Seeing Jiang Fan like this, Luo Yang smiled and said, "This is not the Miss Jiang I remembered!"
"Eh?"
Jiang Fan was curious and tilted his head to look at Luo Yang: "What do you think I look like?"
What does it look like?
The scene of that snowy night suddenly appeared in Luo Yang’s mind.
Jiang Fan, who is in her thirties, has her long hair tied up. Her face is like a full moon. She has an elegant temperament with arrogance and a cold look in her eyes. Her beauty weakens her sharpness, but it cannot conceal her aura.
The feeling of being high above and having everything under control.
At that time, she didn't say much at the class reunion dinner table, but every word and every action of hers would attract attention.
Luo Yang remembered that he toasted her with a glass of wine that night.
It's really bitter.
"husband?"
Jiang Fan saw Luo Yang was in a daze and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing!"
Luo Yang came back to his senses, and his gaze towards Jiang Fan became deep.
The charming appearance in front of me and the cold person in the picture can never overlap.
"husband!"
Jiang Fan suddenly felt a little cold all over, and after seeing Luo Yang's gaze, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart.
She didn't bother looking for the answer. She leaned forward and hugged Luo Yang tightly.
The bedroom suddenly became quiet.
"Fanfan."
"Ok?"
"You pissed me off!"
A young body is good.
Luo Yang hugged Jiang Fan and turned over to hold her down: "In my impression, Miss Jiang was cold and arrogant, but now she has become charming and beautiful. Jiang Fan, do you want to take a look at yourself in the mirror?" Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and it was easy to notice the changes.
Jiang Fan trembled his eyelashes, looked at Luo Yang bravely, and responded softly: "Well, you show me!"
Luo Yang picked her up and walked towards the bathroom
The next morning, after meeting up with Dong Dawei, the group headed to the mountains west of Yang City.
The "Village-to-Village Road" project is more for the central and western regions, the Yangtze River Delta, and especially southern Jiangsu. In fact, the roads between towns and villages have already been built to high standards.
This also allows Luo Yang and his team to drive their car all the way to the foot of the mountain where the project site is located.
"Boss, I have a rough outline of the situation you asked me to investigate."
Two cars were parked on the side of the road. One side of the roadbed was nearly two meters higher. Next to it was a small mountain stream. At the foot of the mountain extended a gently sloping paddy field. In the mountains in February, icicles could be vaguely seen.
Dong Dawei spread a blueprint on the hood of the car, compared it with the instructions on the blueprint, and pointed to the front with his hand.
"The scattered village on the right is called Dongshan Village, with a total of 157 households. As most of the young people have gone to work in the city, most of the people in the village are middle-aged and elderly. They basically live off the mountain. There are also 15 households that have contracted the mountain. You can see the bayberry trees on the hillside, which are one of the contracted cash crops."
“It’s not just bayberry, right?”
Luo Yang pointed to other cash crops on the hillside: "Chestnuts, bamboo, and tea."
"Chestnuts and bamboo are contracted by private individuals in the village, but tea leaves are purchased by the tea farm."
Since Dong Dawei had done some research, he certainly had a clearer understanding: "A little further ahead is the village brigade headquarters, and there is a tea factory over there, the owner of which is not from the village. In addition to these traditional businesses, there are two farmhouses along the road, both of which use self-built houses as business locations."
"Once the tourism resources here are developed, there will be more and more farmhouses like this."
Luo Yang nodded and said, "This can be taken into consideration. When negotiating with the city and the town, the resettlement plans for the villagers can be diversified."
In his memory, seven or eight years later, when driving along the way in the mountains, there were not hundreds but thousands of such farmhouses.
As soon as the weekend comes, cars from big cities like Shanghai, Suzhou, and Jinling drive in, and the three-lane asphalt road is very congested.
"The one on the left is called Nanjian Village, which has fewer households, only 97, and its economic and ecological environment is similar to that of Dongshan Village."
Dong Dawei continued to explain the situation around the project site: "After getting to know the two villages, I found that there are many ruthless people, especially in Nanjian Village. The tea farm is owned by the village party secretary, and there is also a nursery. Although this village is small, it is called Tanjia Village outside. There are only 11 households in the village whose heads are not surnamed Tan."
The most feared thing about demolition is encountering villages like this.
This was an experience Luo Yang had encountered before. The area being demolished was an urban village with more than 300 households, most of whom had the surname Zhang. There was even an ancestral hall in the village, and the people were very united.
The demolition of this project was outsourced to a unit under the Urban Construction Company, which claimed that there was no project that could not be demolished. However, when it came to Zhangjia Village, it took more than half a year to demolish it.
Tearing down walls, smashing glass, and throwing paint in the middle of the night are all small things.
There is no point in fighting every other day. The thousands of people in the village are united. The village collects money and each household sends out a strong man to prepare to go in.
Later, the boss of the development company brought 5000 million yuan in cash to the village in the middle of the night and negotiated with the villagers in person. He finally made concessions on many conditions before he got the urban village demolition project done.
"It's not easy to demolish a village with only one surname."
Luo Yang sighed, then said to Dong Dawei: "Have you ever had any contact with the town?"
"I had two drinks in private."
"What attitude?"
"You are definitely welcome."
Dong Dawei replied: "This place is so poor. Apart from the cash crops on the mountain, the rest is the work of picking tea leaves in the spring. How can they earn any income? If we can build a tourist attraction and immediately boost the town's economy, how can they not welcome it?"
"I'm asking about your attitude towards demolition."
Luo Yang glanced at Dong Dawei and asked, "Are you patting your chest to promise or are you hesitating to speak?"
"I promise!"
Dong Dawei immediately replied: "But from my experience, the more this happens, the more it feels like they are tricked into coming in and being killed."
They trick you into coming in with a project, invest first, and then slowly drag out the demolition.
Many companies with less strength or patience ran away after being dragged down.
“Talk to the city first.”
Luo Yang nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, ask for a tougher person in charge. The project will be dragged down by a soft old hand."
His total planned investment in this project will not be less than 5000 million. If the hotel construction is larger, it may require hundreds of millions of dollars. If it is delayed for a year or two, it will be unaffordable.
"How about making an appointment with the Tourism Bureau tonight?"
Dong Dawei suggested: "In terms of procedures, the Tourism Bureau should attract investment and report our project to the city. Then our preparatory team will discuss the project with the city's planning, land and other departments."
"We have already discussed it with the Tourism Bureau. As long as we start, they will report it."
Luo Yang shook his head and said, "How about this? I'll go to the Land Department later to check on this year's indicators. You go to the planning department and hand in a draft of the project plan. Once there are no problems on both sides, I'll go find the city leaders."
"Okay, Boss. I'll contact the planning department as soon as I get back."
Dong Dawei nodded and said, "Since you are going to talk to the city leaders directly, the town will let it go for now. Who knows if they will change the person later."
Luo Yang also mentioned it just now. He would suggest to the city leaders to replace them with a tougher leader. Assuming that works, there is no need to contact them now.
"Boss, it's almost ten o'clock now. The dew should have dissipated. Do you want to go up the mountain to take a look?"
"No need, the bosses here have been there before, there's nothing to see."
Last summer, Luo Yang, together with the Tourism Bureau and several experts, surveyed the site. They chose this location after climbing dozens of hills.
"Let's go to the village brigade headquarters in front and take a look."
Luo Yang turned and walked towards the car: "Let's have lunch in the mountains, find a farmhouse."
The reason why he insisted on going to the village to take a look was that just a moment ago, a plan came into his mind.
In the following few years, a new rural construction plan was launched, with national funding to transform the rural landscape. In southern Jiangsu, construction was very good because of the abundant local finances.
The exterior walls of the houses were renovated, some even painted with colorful patterns. The village built pavilions and activity rooms for the elderly, planted more flowers, vegetables and trees, and the garbage was uniformly handled by the municipal government.
Many village houses that originally looked old and dilapidated have become quite beautiful after renovation.
Luoyang is developing a tourist attraction here, and the two surrounding villages are also part of the scenic area. If something can be done about it, the city will definitely achieve considerable political achievements, and the villagers will also benefit.
The sharing of actual benefits can enable project construction to proceed more smoothly.
This is a win-win-win solution.
Moreover, what he and Dong Dawei mentioned just now about replacing a more powerful person in charge to coordinate the project was not just a casual remark, but had a deeper meaning.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps I could push my uncle-in-law Qiao Shian forward half a step.
Otherwise, according to the normal procedures, even with the success of the Shuangfeng Town pilot project, Qiao Shian would have to endure for about another two years.
In the town, one goes from committee member to deputy, then to first deputy, and then to mayor. As for the top leader, that is another step. With so many hurdles, it is enough to make a young man in his early thirties grow into a middle-aged or elderly person in his fifties.
The reality at the grassroots level is that if you can’t overcome your age limit, you will waste your time.
Reality is so cruel.
Luo Yang decided to sit down and talk with his uncle-in-law tonight.
Find out what he thinks first, and then decide whether to be the promoter.
Moreover, this matter cannot be promoted by him alone relying on this cultural and tourism project.
It would be naive to think so.
He would definitely have to talk to his father-in-law, as Jiang Yuanshan's network of contacts in Yang City far exceeds what he has now.
Even Qiao Shian himself had to make an effort and use the connections he had accumulated before.
Small towns are not so easy to get around in.
