Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 886 Land
"Boss, District Chief Jia is here." At noon, when Jiang Yan was processing documents in the office, secretary Xiao Zheng came to his office.

Zheng Youliang, a graduate of Yenching University, was one of the few college students in Jiang Yan's company. He became Jiang Yan's secretary as soon as he arrived. To be honest, Jiang Yan did not completely use him as a secretary. He was training talents for himself.

"Oh, please invite District Chief Jia in." Jiang Yan put down the documents in his hand and stood up quickly.

"Xiao Jiang, long time no see." Secretary Jia came in and spoke to Jiang Yan with a smile.

"District Chief Jia, long time no see."

When they sat down and started chatting, Jiang Yan finally understood the purpose of District Chief Jia's visit.

Since the reform and opening up in 78, the most important measure taken by the municipal government in the city to promote people's livelihood and economic development has been to open up the market. The government has opened hundreds of markets in the city in the past two years, and the number is still increasing. It has effectively supplemented the supply of agricultural and sideline products and small commodities and met the needs of the people. This can be felt from the good response of the masses.

The Xicheng District Government where Jiang Yan’s factory is located is different from other districts and counties and has its own special aspects.

The clothing industry in this district has been very developed in history. Especially since the reform and opening up, in order to take a professional route, the district government has vigorously developed and supported the clothing business, clothing manufacturing and clothing processing industries in this district.

After two years, while owning five garment factories, a well-known clothing mall and 35 odd-job processing departments, the District Garment Company also accumulated a large number of defective products and OEM goods beyond the planned quantity.

Therefore, the district government intends to open night markets in some busy places. They want to use the scattered stalls of individual businesses to absorb the goods that are difficult to sell through regular stores. It should be said that this is a good idea, which can solve the pressure on both enterprises and employment at the same time. However, it is reasonable to say that this opening has nothing to do with Jiang Yan. But the bad thing is that Jiang Yan's factories are doing too well.

BMW Six Star cars are selling like hot cakes, and their reputation has been truly recognized by consumers after experiencing them. There are cars coming and going in front of the car door every day, and it is very lively. In addition, there are instant noodle factories and beverage factories nearby, and each factory's business is as good as it can be, so there are many people waiting for goods here every day.

Someone has to solve the problems of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, right? So the villagers nearby spontaneously began to ride their bikes or carry shoulder poles to sell food, drinks and other things here. But later, there were new changes here. Other industries saw that there was profitability here, so they joined in. There were people selling vegetables, meat, and all kinds of snacks. It was very crowded, and over time a spontaneous small market was formed.

However, according to what Jiang Yan knew, the business of this small market seemed to be pretty good. But it was no wonder. All the employees in Jiang Yan's several factories added up to nearly 20,000 people. In addition, their employees had high salaries, so their spending power was quite strong. A few days ago, Captain Xiong from the security department reported to Jiang Yan that a group of Buddhists were planning to set up a camp here, but they were wiped out by Jiang Yan's security team.

When everyone looked over, they were surprised to see that Jiang Yan and his factory's security guards were protecting them. The sense of security was immediately maximized, so more people came here to do business. Knowing the situation at the door, Jiang Yan was a little troubled. He was thinking about telling the relevant leaders about this matter, but he didn't expect District Chief Jia to come.

"My superiors want to build a night market here," Jiang Yan said.

"To be precise, we want to build a farmers' market here that mainly sells clothing." District Chief Jia smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you know that many clothing factories in our district are not doing well. Some factories are barely able to survive by relying on the district's finances."

Before he said the next words, Jiang Yan understood. It turned out that they came here to beg for alms today. As for whether the finances were tight or not, Jiang Yan didn't know, but even if they were tight, there was still money to build a farmer's market. This was how much money it would cost. However, he happened to have something to ask them, so he might as well solve it all at once.

After District Chief Jia finished speaking, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It is our honor to share the government's worries. Since this farmers' market is near our factories, we will be responsible for its construction. However, the land needs to be approved by the government." "That's no problem. Twenty acres of land will be approved immediately." District Chief Jia said happily.

"Oh my god, it seems they were prepared, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to it so quickly." Jiang Yan thought secretly in his heart.

"District Chief Jia, it's a coincidence that you're here today. I do have some problems that need to be solved by our government." Jiang Yan said.

"Oh, what's the problem? Xiao Jiang, please tell me. As long as our government can solve it, we will definitely solve it for you. Even if we can't solve it now, we will find a way. If that doesn't work, Secretary Liu and I will go to the city to solve it for you."

As the biggest taxpayer in their district, the people in the government agencies cannot be negligent. If the money is taken away by other places by mistake, they will have no place to cry. It is precisely because of the existence of Jiang Yan's factories that the tax revenue of the entire Dongcheng District can be higher every year, and all the districts are quite jealous.

"It's like this. When we built the factory, our superiors granted us 150 acres of land. Now you can see that as our factory continues to expand, the land area is a bit insufficient. Besides, looking at the current situation, the company will definitely expand. I still have several models that have not been put into use. If I expand further, I will have no place. Later, I will also build a staff community. So do you think the government will grant us some land?"

After listening to what Jiang Yan said, District Chief Jia thought for a few seconds.

"In principle, there is no problem, but we need to hold a meeting to study it and see how much area we can approve for you. You also need to write an application, and we will hold a meeting to resolve it when the time comes."

"Mr. Jiang, you know that we are responsible for earning foreign exchange. Do you think we can use green currency to purchase the land this time?" District Chief Jia said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.

The current exchange rate of the US dollar is around 1.9, but the exchange rate of the US dollar on the black market has reached 1:3. If Jiang Yan buys the land according to the exchange rate of the National Bank, it is not as cost-effective as buying it with RMB. But you have to understand that this is the 94 City, and it is within the Third Ring Road. There is nothing here now. According to the development speed of the City in the future, when the country officially opens up real estate after , the value of the land here will be sky-high. It is still unknown who will suffer and who will gain!
"District Chief Jia, you also understand that the most taboo thing about opening a factory is moving around. Can the land use be extended a little? Don't worry, I will use green currency for settlement here. In addition, we will build a residential area in the future. Can the land use be more flexible?"

"No problem, the government will consider it, but do you have any extra houses in the community you built? There is a shortage of houses in our area."

In the community built by Jiang Yan before, only a few buildings were used by Jiang Yan’s factory, and the others were divided out, so the issue raised by District Chief Jia was not a problem.

"If the land area is large, we will prepare to build more houses. After all, solving the housing problem for employees is also our job. After all, only when you have a stable home can you work happily. As for the extra houses, half of them will be handed over to the district for adjustment."

"Okay, we'll hold a meeting to discuss this when we get back. I don't think this will be a problem," said District Chief Jia.
