Chapter 503 Jiang Fan Becomes Cunning
Jiang Yuanshan felt very hurt.
The harmonious chat atmosphere with the son-in-law disappeared instantly because of the arrival of the daughter.
"Luo Yang, let me tell you something happy."
Jiang Fan didn't notice his father's inner sadness. He smiled at Luo Yang and said, "Last year, you designed several power banks, which were launched in the market after the beginning of the year. Now these products are in hot sales."
"Hey, didn't I give you the design last September? Why is it only on sale at the beginning of the year?"
Luo Yang had a vague memory, so he was a little surprised by Jiang Fan.
"There happened to be a breakthrough in technology at the time, so I waited for more than three months. When I started to organize production in December, I was not in a hurry to get it out immediately."
“You stocked up?”
Luo Yang immediately guessed Jiang Fan's intention.
Once a design becomes popular in the market, follow-up styles will come out within a month. This is the efficiency of the domestic market.
"Hehe, am I awesome?"
Jiang Fan had an expression on his face that said he wanted to praise me.
"Well, now you have the initial demeanor of a female CEO, and the future is promising."
Luo Yang used advanced techniques to flatter him: "By the way, how was Guangfan Electronics' profit last year? Did we get our investment back?"
"Oh, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten."
Jiang Fan really fell for it, and his smile became even brighter. "I didn't tell you about Guangfan Electronics' revenue situation last year. I was negligent. But don't worry, the investment has already paid off, and according to the sales data for the first two months of this year, the profit for the whole year will exceed 2000 million."
"Oh, that's not bad. It looks like this year's sales will exceed 100 million."
Luo Yang showed a surprised expression at the right time: "Boss Jiang, now you are also the CEO of a company with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan, but the key is that you haven't even graduated from university yet."
"cluck"
Jiang Fan laughed happily.
Unbearable!
Jiang Yuanshan was fed a mouthful of dog food by the young couple.
"cough cough"
Lao Jiang stood up and walked towards the desk: "I still have some documents to deal with. If you have nothing else, you two can go first."
This is driving people away.
Luo Yang and Jiang Fan looked at each other and quickly left Jiang Yuanshan's office.
As soon as they entered the elevator, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hubby, let's go to the countryside for dinner tonight?"
Jiang Fan would only call Luo Yang "husband" when they were alone together. Just now in Lao Jiang's office, he called him by his name.
"I was going to the country."
Luo Yang nodded and said, "Last Thursday when I was in Shanghai, my uncle-in-law called me and asked me to have dinner with him tonight. It should be at my grandfather's house in town, and my parents should be there too."
I just consulted Jiang Yuanshan and he roughly understood the logic behind my uncle-in-law's transfer.
When we meet tonight, I can discuss this with my uncle-in-law.
"By the way, husband, when will our villa be renovated?"
After going downstairs and getting in the car, Jiang Fan thought of the villa that was demolished and rebuilt. She had seen the drawings a long time ago and was looking forward to the newly renovated house.
“It’s already finishing up and will be finished at the beginning of next month, but the interior is full of formaldehyde smell as soon as the renovation is completed. It will take several months to air it out before we can move in.”
Luo Yang smiled and said, "If you want to see the effect, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Well, I am particularly looking forward to our master bedroom and the greenhouse on the balcony on the second floor."
The two chatted intermittently, and more than half an hour later, the car arrived at Shuangfeng Town.
The dinner, which was originally intended to discuss things, became more lively because of Jiang Fan's arrival.
Especially Gu Honglan, after seeing her future daughter-in-law, she no longer had eyes for her son and kept circling around Jiang Fan.
The women were talking about family matters, while the men were discussing Qiao Shian's affairs.
"Shian, just like Yangyang just analyzed, this is a great opportunity for you, you must seize it."
Gu Baitao is old after all, and after drinking half a catty of white wine, he talked more than usual.
"Dad, I know I will definitely cherish this opportunity."
Qiao Shian originally thought that it was his own connections that led to the early transfer, but after listening to Luo Yang's retelling of Jiang Yuanshan's analysis, he quickly figured out the causes and consequences of the matter and had a deeper understanding of it.
What he is thinking about now is no longer just taking a single step forward.
The development of tourism resources will definitely be the focus and direction of this leader's attention. Although the current economy of Xishu Town is at the bottom of the city, as long as the resources in the mountains are well utilized and the tourism economy is developed, he will have great potential in the next few years.
"We will take root in Xishu Town, tap into tourism resources, and strive to bring the town's economy to the middle of the city in four to five years."
If Qiao Shian really wants to make achievements, it will not be a matter of taking a half step forward. In four or five years, he will inevitably become a star mayor. If there is a chance, it is not impossible for him to be transferred to an economically strong town to serve as the chief officer.
"We can't just look at GDP, we also need to look at fiscal revenue and per capita disposable income."
When the elders were chatting, Luo Yang suddenly thought of the indicators that the domestic first-level government would pursue in the next few years, so he interrupted and mentioned it.
"Should we focus on the local economic development?"
During the three-decade period of high economic growth, from top to bottom, everyone paid attention to economic growth. This is a topic that does not need to be discussed.
"Uncle-in-law, that's what I said, but from now on, this concept needs to change."
Luo Yang reminded: "In recent years, in addition to repeatedly mentioning supply-side reform, the words such as eliminating obsolete production capacity, developing high-tech, and paying attention to green mountains and clear waters have begun to appear frequently, and concepts such as improving the national happiness index have also begun to appear in the report."
"Yangyang, are you still paying attention to the information of the two sessions?"
After hearing what his nephew said, Qiao Shian was surprised.
“As an entrepreneur, how can you not pay attention to these things?”
Luo Yang smiled and said, "The policy orientation from above directly affects the prospects for industrial development."
"But isn't it the same everywhere now? Nothing has changed, right?"
"It can only be said that it is still the case now, but in a few years, it may not be the case anymore."
Luo Yang insisted: "At least it won't be the most important, the only indicator. It will only become one of the important ones."
Qiao Shian seemed to be thinking about something.
"Uncle-in-law, I was reading Cankao Xiaoxi last week and there was a piece of news that really shocked me."
Since the topic has been brought up, Luo Yang simply goes into more detail: "Among the 32 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country, only five can pay fiscal revenue to the central government every year!"
"No way?"
"how is this possible?"
"."
This information obviously shocked everyone at the table.
“It sounds scary, but it’s the truth.”
Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Except for Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and the capital, the fiscal revenue of the remaining provinces, cities, and autonomous regions is not enough to cover their own expenses, and they have to rely on central transfer payments to balance." "I remember that last year's GDP was nearly 49 trillion yuan, and fiscal revenue exceeded 10 trillion yuan. How come only five places have surpluses to hand over?"
Qiao Shian is the deputy mayor after all, and he has some impression of some big data and can report it.
"It's not just these five provinces and cities that pay taxes to the central government, there are also large central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, which account for more than half of the fiscal revenue paid to the central government each year."
At this time, the advantage of watching the news frequently became apparent, and with the fragments of memory in his mind, Luo Yang knew more.
“Why does the transfer payment of land quota appear?”
Luo Yang continued, "Uncle-in-law, you are also in charge of this area in the township. Think about whether the quotas purchased in recent years are all from economically underdeveloped areas. This is a disguised subsidy. There are many similar methods."
"That's true."
Facing the gazes of Gu Baitao, Luo Jianguo and others, Qiao Shian nodded and said, "Take Shuangfeng Town for example. Before the small chemical enterprise moved out, the town's fiscal revenue and expenditure could barely maintain a balance. After the small chemical factory moved out, the town has to rely on the city's fiscal grants for a few years."
After he said this, everyone suddenly felt that what Luo Yang had just said was credible.
"My uncle-in-law has been transferred to Xishu Town this time. If he really develops the tourism industry, in addition to GDP growth, due to the special nature of the industry, it will still have advantages in improving fiscal revenue and increasing per capita disposable income."
As Luo Yang spoke, he spread a circle of cigarettes.
“Land finance and tourism-related consumption?”
Qiao Shian immediately understood what Luo Yang was trying to say: "As long as there is investment coming in, we have to acquire land in Xishu Town. No matter what, the town can get some money. After the tourism industry is cultivated, the surrounding food and accommodation and local specialty sales can bring income to local residents."
"If it is a tourism project, the rental income from the transferred land may be greater than the income from the land auction."
Luo Yang smiled and pointed out: "For tourism projects in the mountains, the construction land usually does not exceed 100 mu, and most of them are dozens of mu. However, the transfer land area is larger, and basically starts from several thousand mu. According to the current calculation, how much income can the rent for 20 years bring to the town and the village?"
"My goodness, for a project, the rent for the land transfer alone would be tens of millions, right?"
Before he was transferred there, Qiao Shian started to feel greedy.
At the beginning of the conversation, the focus was on Qiao Shian, but as time went on, the topic drifted away.
"Jianguo, I heard that you will be transferred back to Shanghai to work in the second half of the year?"
As a father-in-law, it is understandable that Gu Baitao is concerned about this. After all, when Luo Jianguo goes to Shanghai, his daughter Gu Honglan has to make arrangements.
"Well, I'm a shareholder of Cathay Pacific and the vice president of engineering. Since there is only one project now, it makes sense for me to stay on the project. In the first half of the year, another project was launched in Anhui. According to the company's strategic layout, we have to get at least one or two more projects in other places this year."
Luo Jianguo told the truth: "From the perspective of position and overall planning, I will go back to the headquarters to work."
"The headquarters is in Songjiang. Fanfan, have you sold the house in Songjiang?"
Luo Yang didn't wait for his grandfather to continue speaking, and directly interrupted to ask Jiang Fan.
"No, it's still empty there. Last time you said that the school would keep you in graduate school, so I wanted to wait until you graduated from graduate school before dealing with it."
Jiang Fan was so smart that he immediately took Gu Honglan's arm and said, "Mom, I'll give you the key to that house later. When Dad goes to work in Shanghai, you can live there and take care of him. You can move back to Yang City on weekends. The renovated villa will be ready for people to live in in the second half of the year."
Gu Honglan immediately smiled from ear to ear at how filial and thoughtful her daughter-in-law was.
"Okay, okay, I'll live in Songjiang. Yangyang happens to be in the Magic City half of the time, so it's convenient for me to take care of him!"
Luo Yang: “.”
Did I shoot myself in the foot?
Jiang Fan hid beside Gu Honglan, smiling like a little fox.
"Run between the two places. Cathay Pacific will surely grow in size in the future. Dad is the vice president of engineering and he's on business trips to inspect projects. He might be away for half a month. Mom, you should live back in Yang City when you're free. It's not good to have no one in the villa all the time."
In a hurry, Luo Yang's mind raced: "If you don't come back, Fanfan will definitely not dare to live at home alone."
We can't continue discussing this topic any further.
"Dad, when are you going to check out the project in Anhui?"
Luo Yang turned around urgently and talked about something else: "On Thursday, I went to Mr. Fu's company with Brother Junpeng to coordinate business. I happened to hear him mention that he was going to Hefei next week."
"Yes, I was also informed."
Luo Jianguo nodded and said, "We'll go over there for a groundbreaking ceremony and set up the project department. I estimate I'll have to live there for a week."
"Brother-in-law, is your company also doing projects in Anhui?"
Everyone's attention was indeed attracted, and Qiao Shian asked with interest: "Is the model similar to Twin Peaks?"
“It’s about the same, but there are differences in the details.”
Luo Jianguo then talked about the characteristics of the project in the suburbs of Hefei.
The topic was once again all over the place.
The dinner lasted until nearly nine o'clock in the evening.
After returning to his home in the city, Jiang Fan pestered Luo Yang to turn on the computer and look through the renderings of the villa that was about to be renovated.
"Honey, should we notify our parents to come over and have a look tomorrow morning?"
The parents in Jiang Fan's words refer to Jiang Yuanshan and Xiao Yujun. As for Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan, they had already agreed during dinner that they would meet at the entrance of the villa at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Come over and have a look together."
Luo Yang said as he made tea: "It's a good time for us to have lunch together."
"Yeah, the two sides should move around more."
Jiang Fan stared at the computer and responded, "Not to mention having dinner together once a week, we should have a meal together every two weeks."
"Then remember to remind me that we will organize it together in the future."
"No problem, husband. Can you please find the blueprints for the other two houses?"
Jiang Fan waved at Luo Yang and called him to sit down on the sofa: "This is the blueprint of our future house."
Luo Yang sat in front of the computer, found the folder and opened it.
"This house is nice now, but it's too spacious for two people to live in. Husband, when will you develop your land in the southern suburbs? It would be great if our two houses were next to each other. I can live there too."
Jiang Fan knelt on the sofa, put his hands on Luo Yang's shoulders, leaned forward and watched Luo Yang open the drawings.
“We will be able to acquire the land by the end of the year, develop it next year, and deliver it by the end of the year after.”
Luo Yang smiled and said, "It will take at least until the second half of 15 before the renovation is completed and we can move in."
"what?"
Jiang Fan rested his chin on Luo Yang's shoulder and said disappointedly, "There are still more than three years left."
"Almost. It's just right for our wedding."
Luo Yang turned around and kissed the corner of Jiang Fan's mouth, then smiled and said, "Unless you plan to get the marriage certificate with me sooner."
"I don't want to get the certificate early."
Jiang Fan snorted, "As soon as we get married, you'll see that the elders on both sides will urge me to have children."
Jiang Fan was not like this before.
I don’t know why, but after spending a long time with Luo Yang, I seem to be aging faster and have started to act like a spoiled child.
You might say she has become smaller, but that's not the case.
From intimidating Sun Jingyu to coaxing Gu Honglan, his thoughts were revealed everywhere.
Luo Yang was not sure what the future would be like.
