Revival Road

Chapter 9 East Lake III

There was only a small half of the long and thick Havana cigar left, and Tang Yikun was still sleepless.

The incident on Huajin Road is still in the city.Zhou Hongyou had called twice already, plus the one just now, three times, asking him to "properly" handle that matter.The investigation team was suddenly sent down from above, and it seemed to be facing Secretary Wang Yi.At this time, we must maintain a harmonious state, and we cannot help it.

He knew that Wang Yi might be promoted.The five years when Wang Yi was in charge of Hiraizumi was the five years of great development of Hiraizumi.In terms of GDP ranking, Hiraizumi is already the third in the province. If the development speed of each other remains the same, it will only take two or three years to surpass Qingshan and take the second place in the province.In addition to the big indicator of economic aggregate, Hiraizumi's urban and road construction, social average wages and unemployment rate control achievements are also obvious to all.The political achievements are real, and Wang Yi's promotion is not surprising at all.That was a down-to-earth official, he fully admitted.

In fact, his personal relationship with Wang Yi is definitely much deeper than that of Zhou Hongyou.When Zhou Hongyou was still the director of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, he established a friendship with Wang Yi, who was transferred from the Provincial Economic and Information Commission to Hiraizumi as mayor.It's just that they have been estranged from each other a lot in the past six months. He understands Wang's sensitivity to politics, which is normal and does not indicate a change in their relationship.

Wang Yi paid close attention to the development of East Lake and gave him many good ideas.He admired Wang Yi very much because of the keenness and advancedness of his suggestions.I think Wang Yi is not only an official, but also a scholar.Ever since he stepped into the turbulent shopping malls, he has admired those who have real skills.It is ability to do specific things well, but the real ability is to be able to see the direction of future development.

Wang pointed out the hidden worries in the development of East Lake early on, at least three years ago.Now it proved the sharpness of Wang Yi's eyes.Wang Yi needs Donghu, and Donghu also needs Wang Yi.Zhou Hongyou didn't even think about it, how could he add trouble to Wang Yi?
But Wang Yi's promotion may not be a good thing for Donghu.Even if Wang Yi became the deputy governor in the province, his help to Donghu would definitely not be as good as it is now.Although Donghu is already the number one private company in the province and has extended its industrial chain to other provinces, its core business is still in Hiraizumi.Now Wang Yi is the secretary of the municipal party committee and Hiraizumi's boss. If he leaves, even though he becomes a deputy minister, his influence on Donghu will decline.

What made him depressed was that Wang Yi never disclosed any news about the changes in the officialdom to him.It's a bit of an anomaly.

It's all Luo Shaoxing's trouble!For this Luo Shaoxing, Tang Yikun felt helpless and upset.Indeed, Luo Shaoxing is an old friend and classmate, and has made great contributions in the history of the expansion of East Lake Real Estate Company, but he can't keep up with the development of East Lake. Qi Zhen is right, some veterans should really step aside.

He once asked Qi Zhen to test Luo Shaoxing, but they failed to reach an agreement, which only deepened their mutual suspicion.

His attitude towards Luo Shaoxing is that he can give him a large sum of money, or a generous "pension" every month, but he will never give him the shares he wants!But what Luo Shaoxing wanted was shares.it's out of the question.Donghu Industrial is privately owned by the Tang family. Except for a few relatives such as Wei Fengru, Wei Shegang, and Tang Yiwei, none of the elders has ever given a share reward, not even Qi Zhen. Why do you Luo Shaoxing?
Putting Luo Shaoxing's question aside, Tang Yikun's thoughts turned back to Donghu Real Estate.He is not worried about the handling of the Huajin Road incident. He has accumulated rich experience in this area, including experience in dealing with the media, and will not drag Donghu Real Estate into the vortex of public opinion.He thinks he does not lack sympathy, but he has already lost the minimum sympathy for those nail-biters.It is not ten years ago now, and he deeply felt that the moral decline was developing in all directions.After the incident on Huajin Road, he immediately understood what happened. Behind the brutal and inhuman behavior of Deng Guoming's Yinqiao Company was the irrational greed of the Li family.You said that you are just a dilapidated house built in the 48s with a total construction area of ​​80 square meters. The area compensation of Donghu Company has been reduced to 1:2, which is equivalent to the fact that after the completion of the Donghu Imperial Forest A building of 100 square meters, such a condition was not agreed, and she shamelessly offered to compensate three buildings. The damn old woman openly said that she would get one set for each of her three children.How can this be?Do you regard East Lake Company as a cash cow or a charity?

He understood Luo Shaoxing's attitude on this matter.In a sense, Luo Shaoxing was doing it for the benefit of the company.The project is blocked there, seeing that the dry season is over, the concealed project can't be dragged into the rainy season, right?It is necessary to take some relatively extreme measures.

I once discussed a question with a close friend, that is, who is more moral, the rich or the poor.The answer is that there is no answer.Each sticks to his own opinion, unable to agree on what to do.The discussion took place in the East Lake Reading Club. The reading club was established on Qi Zhen's suggestion. It has been in operation for more than ten years. There are only dozens of official members, and no more than 20 people participate in the discussion each time.At the beginning, Qi Zhen recommended to him "Ten Heroes of Blue Blood" written by an American, and he really read that book carefully.Qi Zhen admired the lifestyle of American industrial elites, and proposed to set up a small-scale reading club and hold activities every half a month. The procedure is generally that one person introduces or gives a lecture on a book, and then discusses the book.Tang Yikun usually doesn't give lectures, he mostly listens.He admits that this salon has a good taste. Some people of similar status sit together, drink some coffee, taste cigars, and discuss literature and art, industry development direction, or international and domestic situations, which is much better than the usual gambling dinner.

What makes Tang Yikun think deeply is that there is no disagreement on the existence of class or class. Regardless of the official explanation, class does exist, and it is completely different from 30 years ago.For example, the members of this reading club are all business executives, or senior managers of Donghu Industry, or private business owners who have long-term business contacts with Donghu Industry.They admit that they belong to the same class, which is characterized by the fact that everyone focuses on the same hotspots. They judge the trend of the stock market, analyze the development of the industry, discuss the domestic and international political and economic situations... they rarely talk about other things.They basically don't talk about food prices, vegetable prices, and housing prices that the common people are concerned about.This is the mark of class.However, class existence is a fact, and there is no consistent opinion on whether there is a consistent standard of moral observance. The high-status class should model and abide by social ethics and set an example for the society.He listed well-known rich people with a positive image abroad, and believed that it was the lack of entrepreneurs with a strong sense of responsibility to the nation that led to the decline of social morality in China.But more members believe that morality is different, and different classes have different moral views, as long as they conform to the law, they should not be blamed.Rich people who create wealth should enjoy the glory and pleasure brought by wealth, and the enjoyment of life by rich people has actually brought opportunities to more people.

Tang Yikun was the president of the Donghu Reading Club, and he didn't express his views that time.When Cai Yuanhao asked him to express his opinion, he smiled and said that he had not reached a conclusion on this issue.

He disagrees with Cai Yuanhao's attitude of being a saint, he is not a saint.But he has already discovered that the so-called pursuit of enjoyment is actually self-defeating, and there is no real happiness.Long ago, he discovered that there is a law in society, that what is gained is what is lost, without exception.To put it mildly, you enjoy delicious food all day long, and you have to bear the risk of heart and brain diseases while eating and feasting; if you are a woman, you have to bear family breakdown, children’s rebellion or property while enjoying the pleasure of the eyes and ears The risk of loss; To put it bluntly, you have the power to decide the fate of others, and you must bear the corresponding responsibility for it.For example, those entrepreneurs in the reading club, they think about the development and profit and loss of the company all day long. If the employees have no work, they will have a headache, if they can’t pay their wages, they will get angry, and if they can’t get their money back, it’s even more troublesome.

What you have is what you pay, and happiness is always accompanied by troubles.Tang Yikun has already discovered that his happiness or satisfaction has not increased with the expansion of the company, and even decreased.His attitude towards life in the past five years is completely different from that of five years ago. People who don't understand the world will praise this, but in fact, he is just avoiding troubles.

But what made him feel confused was that there was no way out for some things.If you don't like something after buying it, you may return it, but companies often have only one way forward.Donghu Industrial has encountered problems in the direction of development, and can only solve it by continuing to expand, and must not consider disbanding.Qi Zhen judged that the real estate market will encounter a cold snap, so what?We can only continue to do it, and create a market if there is no market.At least for now.

Hiraizumi's urban planning is no secret to him, especially after Zhou Hongyou takes charge of it.Urban planning or construction is always a spiral development without end.This round is over, and the next round will begin immediately. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is nothing more than a five-year plan. Major adjustments have already been made once, and there may be countless minor adjustments. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is only halfway through, and the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has already started.As long as the city is expanding, building and developing, Donghu Industry will be full of opportunities.Therefore, Tang Yikun has a different interpretation of Qi Zhen's judgment. I am afraid that in the future, we will not be able to conduct purely commercial development as in the past. The vacancy rate must be considered, and the purchasing power of citizens is also a big problem.But the government will not run out of money, and the government is always more ambitious. When Donghu real estate officially boards the big ship of the government's urban construction, the voyage of Donghu will not be hindered.

The opportunity is there, without Zhou Hongyou hinting, what does Tang Yikun do?Can't you see that the only direction for Hiraizumi's urban development is westward?The east is surrounded by continuous hills, the north has been expanded for nearly ten years, and the south is blocked by the Yuehe River. It is only reasonable to go west.

This has a relationship with Red Star Company.He is a child of Red Star, he was born in that land and lived there for nearly 20 years.It is a piece of land with an area of ​​570 million square meters, covering as much as 8600 mu.How many business opportunities does the government relocate Red Star to build Hiraizumi new city?As long as it takes the lead in the Hiraizumi New City plan, it will be enough to bring Donghu Real Estate back to life.

So he wants to entertain Tao Tang.The Huajin Road incident killed an employee of Red Star. This is a reason, but it is a small reason that is not worth mentioning. His company has a basis for cooperation with Red Star. His factory products that are judged to be abandoned by the expert group can be compared with Red Star cooperation, this is a bigger reason.The bigger reason is that he must walk ahead of the government and plan ahead to pave the way for the development of Donghu Industry in the next five years or even longer.

Tang Yikun thought of Song Yue.He was a strong and shrewd guy with foresight and ambition, but it was a pity that he fell into the tide of anti-corruption that had already seen the beginning.He regretted it.If Song Yue is here, he believes that he will establish a good cooperative relationship with him.Now the head of Red Star has become Tao Tang, his former classmate, whom he hasn't seen for more than 20 years, and he has no idea what kind of character Tao Tang is.But he knows the mode of operation of state-owned enterprises. The decision-making of state-owned enterprises is actually more arbitrary than that of private enterprises. If he holds the leader, all problems will be solved easily.
