Chapter 480 Level and Date of Birth
After receiving a call from his nephew at noon, Qiao Shian postponed a dinner invitation he had already agreed to.
Firstly, Luo Yang vaguely mentioned the job change on the phone, and secondly, he no longer treated Luo Yang as a child, and sometimes even paid more attention to Luo Yang.
We didn't go to a restaurant in the city or town for dinner.
The old supply and marketing cooperative is right in the town. By eating at my father-in-law’s house, we can avoid gossip, killing two birds with one stone.
After Luo Yang returned to the city from Xishu Town, he first made an appointment with Tang Hailin for tea. They chatted until a little after 4:30. After coming out of the teahouse, he went to Yuanfan Group to pick up Jiang Fan after get off work. When the two arrived in Shuangfeng Town, it was almost six o'clock.
"Grandpa, grandma."
"Dad, Mom, and uncle."
I informed Jiang Fan in advance about joining us for dinner, so there's no need to apologize separately.
"Fanfan, come and sit down."
Gu Honglan was happiest when she saw her daughter-in-law. She even ignored her husband and son and only cared about pulling Jiang Fan to sit next to her.
There was a table full of dishes and the wine, the Wuliangye liquor brought by Luo Jianguo, had already been poured, so they were just waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Yangyang, what do you want to discuss tonight?"
After the first sip of wine, it was my grandfather who spoke first: "Why did you specially invite your uncle-in-law to dinner? What's the change in the town?"
Although Gu Baitao has been retired for many years, he has always been concerned about the affairs of the town and is a true civilian "cadre".
"It's not about Twin Peaks."
Luo Yang just picked up a piece of braised beef and didn't have time to put it in his mouth to chew before he replied: "I went to Xishu Town this morning and explored the project site. The preliminary preparations are almost ready. I plan to start this project this year."
"Xishu Town, new project?"
Qiao Shian blinked and said with a smile: "Yangyang, you are not thinking of moving the new project to Shuangfeng Town, are you?"
He is in charge of this area, and it would definitely be helpful to him if his nephew could help to get a new investment project.
"Uncle-in-law, this time I'm investing in a cultural tourism project, and Shuangfeng Town doesn't have the conditions for it."
Luo Yang shrugged and said, "Although the investment is not put into Shuangfeng Town, this matter is also related to you."
Qiao Shian: “?”
"What does my uncle think of Xishu Town?"
The topic changed a little too quickly, but fortunately Qiao Shian was the deputy mayor of Shuangfeng Town, and the other towns in the city were all brother units on the same line, so it would be hard for him not to understand.
"The area under its jurisdiction is four and a half times the size of Shuangfeng Town, but the population is less than 30,000. A small amount of industry is concentrated in the town, and the economic structure is mainly based on forestry and agriculture. In recent years, the GDP and fiscal revenue of the town have been among the bottom five in the city."
Qiao Shian picked up these data easily, and said with a smile while looking at Luo Yang: "You know what, the city itself has the planning intention to build the western mountainous area into a tourist attraction. Yangyang, if you invest in cultural and tourism projects there, it will be in line with the city's trend and you can enjoy a wave of preferential policies."
When he said this, Qiao Shian suddenly paused.
He looked at Luo Yang and said, "Yang Yang, how much is the total investment for this project?"
"The first phase of investment will not be less than 5000 million yuan. Depending on the situation, we may build a better hotel or a tourism real estate project."
Tourism real estate project, this was the idea that came to Luo Yang when he went to the Land and Resources Bureau to chat with Tang Hailin in the afternoon.
With the rise of the national economy, the number of middle-class people is increasing. The constraints and repression in the urban forest make this group increasingly yearn for mountains, rivers and countryside. With the birth of this consumption concept and group, tourism real estate has also begun to rise gradually in recent years.
A small single-family villa of about 200 square meters, priced at around million yuan, within two or three hours' drive from living and working places, would be the dream of many middle-class families.
For investors, through tourism real estate development, they can make money to feed back cultural tourism projects; for local governments, it can increase land transfer fee income, increase tax revenue, and drive local employment and the prosperity of the building materials market.
There are many benefits and all parties share the profits.
“Such a huge investment?”
Qiao Shian's focus is not on tourism real estate development, because the investment amount starts at 5000 million, which makes him a little envious: "My goodness, if Xishu Town knew about this news, you would be worshipped."
"My project involves the demolition of two villages. Not only houses, but also nurseries, tea plantations, bayberry trees, chestnut trees and other cash crops. I sent people to conduct on-site surveys in the early stages. The demolition is not easy."
Luo Yang then brought out the topic of the evening: "The person in charge of the project preparation team has contacted several leaders in Xishu Town, and the feedback they gave is that their work style is a bit soft. I am afraid that the demolition work will not be done well, so I plan to raise my opinion when discussing this investment with the city government and ask for a tougher leader to be in charge of this matter."
Sometimes things don't need to be 100% clear.
Having said this, Qiao Shian, Gu Baitao, and even Luo Jianguo all understood the underlying meaning in the words.
After all, Luo Yang had asked Qiao Shian before: What do you think of Xishu Town?
Connecting the meanings of the previous and subsequent sentences, the answer becomes obvious.
"Yangyang, you mean..."
Obviously, after understanding this meaning, the most excited person at the scene must be Qiao Shian, because this matter was closely related to him.
"Yes, uncle-in-law, when I went to Xishu Town to survey the project site today, I considered that there would be difficulties in demolishing and requisitioning the land, so I thought of this."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Of course, it's just an idea now. I have to ask for your opinion first, and then I can consider how to proceed."
When it comes to demolition and land acquisition projects for nurseries, cash crops, etc., the prices are often exorbitant, and it is difficult to start construction without sufficient funds.
If they don't fight with you, they will just find a group of elderly people in their 70s and 80s to sit in front of your excavator. No matter how powerful your company is, none of your tricks will work.
So to some extent, this opportunity is both an opportunity and a challenge for Qiao Shian.
In front of his family, Luo Yang had nothing to hide. He said whatever he thought, and laid all the pros and cons on the table.
Qiao Shian listened very carefully. After listening, his excitement subsided and he fell into deep thought.
"Yangyang, under normal circumstances, your uncle-in-law can make half a step forward in two years. Is it necessary to take this risk?"
Gu Baitao said at this time: "What if Shian can't handle the demolition work?"
"Stay in Twin Peaks. It's safe and secure, but age waits for no one!"
The uncle-in-law was in a dilemma, so Luo Yang had to come forward to explain.
He pondered for a moment and said, "My uncle-in-law is 60 years old this year. The retirement age for male cadres at the section level is 50. Normally, based on two terms, if you can't catch up before the age of , there is basically no hope. And this is still based on the age line. If you want to be safe, it would be best if you can reach the section level at the age of or ."
"This"
Gu Baitao retired from the supply and marketing cooperative. Strictly speaking, he was not even a cadre within the system, so he did not have a thorough understanding of some rules.
"Dad, Yangyang is right."
Qiao Shian, who was more familiar with the rules within the system, spoke at this time.
"There is also a time node of the two sessions in between. This year is the time of the two sessions. If I make a small step forward in more than two years, it means that there are only more than two years left until the next two sessions.
Qiao Shian smiled bitterly and said, "Without sufficient connections, my resume of just over two years is not enough for me to make further progress."
From deputy section chief to section chief is a hurdle. After waiting for the next two sessions, Qiao Shian will be 51 years old.
"That's why I was thinking about whether I could give my uncle a push in advance."
Luo Yang said to Gu Baitao: "By the time of the next two sessions, my uncle-in-law will be 49 years old, which is enough to get into the regular department."
“There are so many twists and turns inside”
Gu Honglan had not interrupted the conversation between the men before, but after hearing what was said just now, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What are we?" Qiao Shian pointed upwards and said, "For some families, the next generation is born in a certain number of years to coincide with the two sessions. Every step is carefully considered, and not even a year's difference can be made."
Everyone at the table sighed and lamented again.
After the four men clinked their glasses again, Qiao Shian looked at Luo Yang.
"Yangyang, I want to give it a try!"
He said with a serious and earnest expression: "The pilot project in Shuangfeng Town has basically taken shape, and my performance is inevitable, but if I want to say more, there is probably not much left. If I were three or four years younger, I would be willing to wait."
"I made an appointment with Director Tang for tea this afternoon. We talked about the project and your affairs in general."
Seeing that Qiao Shian had made up his mind, Luo Yang talked about the background he had found out: "The most likely possibility is that he will be transferred to Xishu Town first and continue to serve as the deputy in charge of urban construction. After the demolition of this project is roughly completed, I will take over the job of the first deputy."
"Half a year?"
"Yes, about half a year."
Luo Yang nodded and said, "Director Tang also said that if it exceeds a year, it will be meaningless."
Qiao Shian also knew that Tang Hailin would join the leadership team in one or two years at most, so what he said was still relatively reliable.
"Okay, I'll run a bit recently."
"I'll talk to my father-in-law about this tomorrow."
When Luo Yang said this, he glanced at Jiang Fan and said, "I'll go to your house for a meal tomorrow."
"What do you mean by eating a meal?"
Gu Honglan didn't wait for Jiang Fan to respond to Luo Yang, she glared at her son and said, "Going to your father-in-law's house for dinner is supposed to deepen our relationship, but how come you've turned it into a beggar?"
Jiang Fan covered his mouth and laughed, and kept winking at Luo Yang.
"Yangyang, your uncle-in-law toasts you!"
Qiao Shian knew that Luo Yang had contributed the most to this matter, and even though he was an elder, he had to offer him this glass of wine.
Luo Yang quickly picked up the wine glass, lowered it half an inch and clinked it with Qiao Shian.
After this glass of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little more lively.
The topics that followed became more scattered. Luo Jianguo chatted with his father-in-law, Gu Honglan, Jiang Fan and his mother chatted, and Luo Yang talked with Qiao Shian about the demolition.
Luo Yang did not hide anything and told Dong Dawei all the information he had found out so that Qiao Shian would have a general idea of what was going on.
The dinner lasted until nearly nine o'clock.
Jiang Fan didn't drink and drove back to the city with Luo Yang.
"husband"
"Ok?"
“I find you know a lot.”
"Your father taught you well."
Luo Yang was lying on the passenger seat, squinting his eyes and replied: "Doesn't he usually say these things to you?"
"No. I guess it's because I'm a girl."
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Now it's all right. I won't let you go."
"A son-in-law is half a son."
Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "I'm still okay, but our son is miserable. Your father will definitely be stricter and more serious in educating him in the future."
Jiang Fan thought about the scene and immediately stuck out his tongue.
"Husband, what is the theme type of the cultural tourism project you are doing in Xishu Town?"
“Internet celebrity attractions + health and wellness + vacation and leisure type projects.”
Luo Yang blurted out: "We can make use of the scenery formed by the natural terrain to cleverly create scenic spots with first-class visual effects, use the high negative oxygen ions in the mountains and ecological diet to create a health base, combine the previous factors, publicize it externally, shape the brand image, and attract the middle class in big cities to come for weekend vacation and leisure."
I'm not bragging.
Luo Yang had all the Nanshan Bamboo Sea Hot Springs, tree houses, infinity pools, Songcheng B&B cultural performances, and naked Valley style in his mind, and he copied them all without any pressure at all.
In his past life, many internet celebrities checked in at homestays, tourist attractions, and hotel designs. He believes that with the help of these avant-garde elements, he can create the most beautiful cultural and tourism projects at the moment.
"That must be beautiful, right?"
"necessary!"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "And I will build a small villa in the best location of my own project, leaving it for our family to go on vacation on weekends. After the cultural tourism company becomes bigger, we will continue to build new projects in other scenic spots across the country. Wherever we invest, we will build our cabins there."
Jiang Fan suddenly became envious.
When the car became quiet, Luo Yang started thinking about tourism real estate.
Originally, he planned to use the 90-acre land in the southern suburbs to try out Guoyang Construction, but now it seems that he has to move forward with the plan.
However, Guoyang Construction is just a construction company and does not have the qualifications for real estate development.
In addition, a complete management team also needs to be put together in the first half of the year.
Luo Yang was a little hesitant for a moment as to whether to start from scratch or use Santai's shell to quickly take shape.
By relying on Santai's shell, you have to make concessions and operate in a cooperative mode at the beginning. During the period, you must also ensure that the professional team will not cheat you.
As for starting from scratch, it is easy to recruit professionals, but it takes time to integrate the team, because this is tourism real estate, which is somewhat different from conventional urban commercial real estate. Without him to lead, it will definitely be a mess.
If he didn't have so many industries under his name, Luo Yang could have put together a more professional team in two or three months. The reality is that he might not be able to spare even one-tenth of his time.
It seems that this cake cannot be eaten by one person.
After struggling for a long time, Luo Yang sighed.
I'll talk to Fu Bin when I return to Shanghai next week. After all, my focus is not on real estate.
When he sighed, Jiang Fan was in the driving seat. Not only did he hear the sound, but he also noticed from the corner of his eye that Luo Yang's brows were furrowed.
Feel sorry for my husband.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but stretch out a hand to smooth Luo Yang's frown.
"Hubby, I will grow up quickly, keep up with you, and help you more."
For the first time since he was a child, Jiang Fan wanted to grow up from the bottom of his heart and wanted to help Luo Yang share some things.
The attributes of a strong woman are finally properly activated.
For Luo Yang, it is unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse.
