In the next three days, Ye Zhiwei rushed back from Suhai and handed over Changsheng's work to Luo Qi, and then went to Yishan with Luo Qi and Zhong Congjiang to meet Yang Dingjun and his party. On February 1, the two parties formally signed an agreement. Changsheng Company acquired more than 200 acres of land by Baiou Lake at a cost of 50,000 yuan. It plans to build a large-scale comprehensive hotel with a five-star hotel as the main body, and with a convention and exhibition center, leisure square, special food and folk culture and other entertainment service functions within two to three years. The total investment is expected to reach a huge amount of 120 million.
Since the establishment of Yishan County, there has never been a commercial investment of such a large scale. Yang and his party made a stern statement at the secretary's office meeting, requiring all units to sign a military order to ensure the smooth implementation of the hotel project. It can be summed up in six words: give the green light and implement it! The county government specially established the Baiou Lake Construction Planning Office, which was personally led by the county magistrate Yang Dingjun. The land, urban construction, taxation, industry and commerce, environmental protection and other departments each selected one or two staff members to work in the planning office to coordinate and handle matters related to the hotel construction.
At the same time, the resale of Yishan Water Factory was completed silently. For such a township enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy, everyone in the county was thinking about how to get rid of the burden at the lowest cost. Since Changsheng was willing to help take over this mess, everyone was naturally happy and agreed.
According to the research results of the county party committee, compared with the big hotel worth 120 million yuan, the Yishan Water Plant is so small that it is almost negligible. So no matter what the considerations are, as long as Changsheng Industrial agrees to relocate the original water plant employees and assume part of the bank debt, the price can be only a symbolic amount.
However, after Zhong Congjiang's feedback, Wen Liang rejected this proposal. He had no intention of leaving loopholes for criticism in the acquisition of the water plant. Although there was a government resolution that it was completely legal to do so, gossip can melt gold and accumulated criticism can destroy a person. Wen Liang wanted long-term development and did not need to ruin his potential reputation in order to save a little money.
No matter when, the reputation of buying and selling state-owned assets at a low price is always bad! If someone really wants to make trouble, he will not care whether you made a loss when you acquired the factory or whether your assets were insolvent. As long as he firmly grasps the selling point of the loss of state-owned assets, he can attract countless people who are unaware of the truth and completely defeat you in public opinion!
In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, such stories have been played out almost every day. In this country, power always overrides wealth, so Wen Liang spared no effort to push Wen Huaiming to the top, so that one day in the future, his hard-earned empire will not be taken away by others!
Based on Wen Liang's opinion, Zhong Congjiang had several more conversations with Yishan officials. The other party had obviously never seen a conscientious enterprise that would give money for free, and was deeply moved. They made it clear that the Yishan Water Plant would enjoy the same tax reduction and exemption policies and financial support as five-star hotels (including loan commitments, provision of supporting facilities funds of 5% of the investment amount, etc.). The two parties finally reached an agreement, and the once prominent mineral water plant in Yishan County officially became history, and it was replaced by Yishan Drinking Water Co., Ltd., which is wholly owned by Yijun.
At this point, Wen Liang has finally achieved the most important step in his strategic planning since his rebirth. Looking back at the time when he first visited Yishan to today when he successfully took over, he can’t help but sigh at how many ups and downs and difficulties he has encountered along the way.
As for the funds for acquiring the Yishan Water Plant, Wen Liang did not withdraw them from Qinghe. Instead, he signed a contract for the construction of five-star hotel infrastructure with Changsheng Industrial in the name of Yi Jun, and then subcontracted the contract to Qu Rong's Jinlong Construction. He received a down payment of 1 million from Jinlong, which was more than enough to pay for the various expenses of acquiring the water plant.
This was also the content of the cooperation that Wen Liang had a secret conversation with Qu Donghai about when he went to Guanshan last time!
At six o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang got up for his morning run as usual. When he passed the gate, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the house through the window. He stopped and asked, "Who are you? Where is the gatekeeper, Mr. Qin?"
The middle-aged man stood up hurriedly, smiling on his wrinkled dark face, and said, "Mr. Qin is going home. I'm new here. My name is Wang Xianjin. You can just call me Xiao Wang..."
Where did you learn this habit? At your age, if I call you Xiao Wang, won’t it shorten your life? Wen Liang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said, “Hello, Uncle Wang, do you know why Uncle Qin resigned?”
"Something happened to his grandson recently, and his son and daughter-in-law were making a fuss every day, blaming Lao Qin for the bad job he arranged. They even went to the company to make trouble. Lao Qin was afraid of the bad influence, so he resigned."
Qin Yong was seriously injured in the explosion. Although he is out of danger, his body was burned in many places. Even if he recovers, he cannot return to his old appearance. It is understandable that his family is unwilling to accept this. Wen Liang has been going out early and coming back late these days. He has only seen Lao Qintou once or twice. When talking about Qin Yong, Wen Liang apologized to him. Lao Qintou is also a reasonable person. He said that it was not Wen Liang's fault, but Qin Yong's own fault for not living up to expectations. It was his fate. Wen Liang was impressed, but he did not expect that his family did not understand him and even resigned.
Don't underestimate the job of a security guard. Being a security guard in a government staff housing compound not only pays much better than elsewhere, but the connections you make are also a huge asset. To give an inappropriate example, if Lao Qin hadn't met Wen Liang, he wouldn't have been able to arrange for his grandson to work in a large enterprise like Qinghua Factory. Of course, the final result was not very good, but that has nothing to do with this.
Wen Liang sighed. Although Old Man Qin was a little greedy for money, he was a good person and the two got along well. After all, he should take some responsibility for Qin Yong's injury. After careful consideration, he left a mobile phone number for Wang Xianjin and asked him to pass it to Old Man Qin. If he had any difficulties, he could call him.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, Ji Zheng was waiting at the bus stop in front of me as expected. He was wearing a black sportswear and white sneakers. He looked energetic and a few years younger.
Wen Liang ran past him with a calm expression. Ji Zheng lagged behind him by one or two steps and started running after him.
This was the sixth time Ji Zheng had waited here. After the practice a few nights ago, he found that Wen Liang's daily routine was very strange. The time he would go home at night was generally irregular, sometimes at five or six o'clock, sometimes at one or two o'clock in the morning. It was very difficult to successfully stop him. Even if he did, he would always be sent away with a simple sentence or two, and it was impossible to chase him home, so the progress was outrageously slow.
However, Ji Zheng had no idea what he was thinking. He easily got out of Ji Su that Wen Liang would go for a morning run every day. He got up at an extremely accurate time and went out for a run at 6 o'clock every day, regardless of wind or rain. So when Ji Zheng followed Wen Liang for the first time, Wen Liang only glanced at him indifferently, but did not refuse. This made Ji Zheng's mind active and he followed him firmly.
But the sad thing is that the traces of time always stab you hard when you least expect it. Before he had run 3,000 meters, Ji Zheng discovered breathlessly that he could no longer see Wen Liang's back on the dim street. Only then did he realize that full energy at work is not the same as a strong body and invincible youth.
However, the frustration did not haunt him for long. Early the next morning, Ji Zheng appeared behind Wen Liang again. This time was even worse than yesterday. He only followed him for two kilometers... The third, fourth, and fifth times, his physical strength did not make a qualitative leap because of his determination. On the contrary, due to the soreness caused by the previous day, the distance between him and Wen Liang became less and less. Until today, Ji Zheng still did not know where Wen Liang finally ended up.
Wen Liang said nothing as he jogged in the sharp cold wind. Ji Zheng followed closely behind him, letting the wind whistle in his ears. At first, he was still worried about whether he could run more today, but as he ran, his thoughts drifted back to many years ago, when he was in his prime. Not only was he good at schoolwork, he was also good at playing basketball. It was also at that time that he attracted Su Rui's attention and stood out from her many suitors...
Then I graduated and started working, trying my best to climb up the career ladder. I cared about power and official positions. I stopped playing basketball a long time ago, and I forgot when it started, but I no longer jog in the morning breeze and breathe the fresh air that I couldn't breathe during the day or at night.
A shrill horn woke Ji Zheng up. A van flew quickly through the middle of the road. He looked up, but was surprised to find that Wen Liang's back was still in his sight, and this position was much farther than the previous five times.
There is always a crowd of people in front of the Bayi store. Ji Zheng walked into the house and saw Wen Liang sitting in the innermost corner, eating soy milk and fried dough sticks slowly. In front of him was the same breakfast.
Ji Zheng walked over and before he could say anything, Wen Liang pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile, "Sit down. Some people say that it takes at least half an hour before you can eat after running in the morning. I don't think so. Drinking some hot soy milk when your body needs it the most is really a great pleasure in life."
Ji Zheng had been waiting for so many days but had not received any response. He did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. He hurriedly sat down, picked up the soy milk and took a big gulp. His extremely tired body immediately felt a warm current flowing from his limbs to his internal organs. It was just as Wen Liang said, it was very comfortable!
“How does it taste?”
Ji Zheng didn't know why, but all his worries about his future, fear of being homeless, and anger at being abandoned and ignored, turned into dust along with the cup of soy milk. With a gentle blow, no trace of them remained.
"It's very complicated. I never thought that drinking soy milk after exercise would feel like this..."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "Director Ji, to use the Buddhist term, you have achieved enlightenment!"
"I don't have much comprehension, and I can't understand the true meaning of Buddhism," Ji Zheng said sincerely, "During this period of time, I have only realized one truth. From now on, as long as you, Mr. Wen, tell me to do something, I will never compromise, and I will complete it no matter what. I hope that Mr. Wen can give me another chance, the last time!"
Wen Liang looked at him quietly for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know the Xinxing Chemical Plant in Guanshan?"
"The emerging factory that is related to He Xihua? I know a little bit about it!"
"Starting tomorrow, you will go to Guanshan and serve as the director of the Xinxing Factory."
Ji Zheng was shocked, but nodded without hesitation and said, "I understand!"
