Of course, with the protection of the country, Qiao Xiazhi doesn’t have to worry about outsiders posing a threat to his family and relatives.

Looking at the three land certificates that Yu Maidong handed to him, Qiao Xiazhi naturally didn't hesitate and put them directly into his pocket.

"It belongs to me, so I won't be polite to the government. But I still have to thank Secretary Yu this time."

Yu Maidong smiled and said, "My father also told me to thank you. Whether it is the auction method or the auction's success, it is all thanks to your contribution."

"And this is an unexpected gain. With more than 100 million yuan in funding in the early stage, the construction of our northern province can be said to be settled."

Among the newly developed areas in the Northern Province, the initial construction work started in the west and east of the city.

The funding from above is also limited, so most of the funds still have to be maintained by land auctions.

Fortunately, this small accident resulted in the unexpected receipt of more than 90 million yuan.

Combined with the auction of other lands, the West City District has already received more than 100 million yuan.

There is another auction next weekend.

By then, we will have more than 100 million in hand, which will make it easier to carry out urban construction.

Although the land was auctioned and the factory was built at the bidder's own expense, other construction in the entire area still had to be handled by the government.

For example, emissions from some factories, road construction, greening construction, maintenance, etc.

These also require money to deal with.

"By the way, are those people still in our provincial capital now?" Qiao Xiazhi took the watermelon brought by Aunt Xu and handed it to Yu Maidong.

Yu Maidong took the watermelon and replied, "I heard that they were sent back to their own country after the auction ended yesterday afternoon."

"As expected, it's you who has to win. You have face. I heard that the higher-ups have issued an ultimatum to protect your pill recipe this time."

Regarding the matter of Montuo Leir, after the auction ended yesterday, Qiao Xiazhi returned to the hotel and did not contact Secretary Yu and the others.

So she didn't know how far the matter had been progressed.

After hearing what Yu Maidong said, Qiao Xiazhi asked curiously, "What ultimatum?"

"You don't know?" Yu Maidong thought Qiao Xiazhi knew.

Qiao Xiazhi: "What should I know?"

Yu Maidong: "Exactly. Didn't that guy named Meng Tuo challenge you at the auction yesterday over your prescription? Later, everyone above knew about it."

"You should know that the prescription is not just yours now. It is also a patent of our entire China. It is our Chinese thing."

"If they are interested in your prescription, it is equivalent to being interested in our Chinese things. How can we let those people succeed?"

"So, after the auction ended yesterday, they contacted the Leier family directly, but I don't know what they said specifically."

"Anyway, the final result is that Meng Tuo gave the land certificates of the three plots of land to my father and asked him to pass them on to you as an apology this time."

"He also said that if we had the chance to meet again in the future, he would like to treat me to a meal. Then he took all his people back to their own country."

"And now the whole world knows about this. No one, no family, no country dares to take advantage of your prescription."

Hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi knew what was going on.

Qiao Xiazhi was still very pleased with the action taken by the country.

She knew she was right.

Qiao Xiazhi: "It's great to have the great country of China behind me, and feel very safe."

Yu Maidong nodded: "That must be it."

"By the way, you now have these three plots of land, plus the two plots you actually won yesterday, so there are five plots in total. Will you still participate in the auction next week?"

Qiao Xiazhi nodded: "Participate, you must participate, there is no one who would complain."

"Anyway, let's take the photos first and build the factory. Even if we don't open the factory ourselves, it's good to rent it out."

Hearing this, Yu Maidong didn't quite understand Qiao Xiazhi's idea and said, "I don't understand why you bought so much land and built so many factories. How long will it take to make back the money you put in by collecting rent?"

Although the prices of some houses and shops have increased a lot compared to before, no one has the idea of getting rich by making the difference by buying and selling houses.

So Yu Maidong naturally didn't understand Qiao Xiazhi's actual intention of buying so much land to build a factory.

Indeed, whether you can make back the investment by collecting rent is another matter.

What Qiao Xiazhi wants to make back his investment is not from collecting rent, but from increasing land prices.

Whether the land price or the rent will increase in the future is another matter, but if you just sell a piece of land, won’t all the capital be returned?

If there is a need for demolition and reconstruction in the future, so many factories will cost a lot of money.

Yu Maidong had not experienced the later development, so naturally he did not understand Qiao Xiazhi.

However, Qiao Xiazhi would not be stupid enough to tell her her actual purpose.

He just smiled and said, "I bought so much land and built so many factories. Do you think I am a simple person with a lot of money?"

"Don't you think about how many children I have? Six children means I will have six inheritances in the future. I can't be unfair to some, right?"

After she said that, Yu Maidong thought about it and felt that it was indeed true.

There are six children, and we have to prepare for them all now.

Either none of them are given, or everyone is treated fairly.

He didn’t have children before, so he didn’t think about their future.

Now that I have children of my own, I want to work harder and create more wealth for my children.

When he grows up, he won't have to suffer as much as he or his father did before.

Even though Yu Maidong is the son of the provincial party secretary, his family's conditions were even worse than those of farmers in the countryside when they were in difficult circumstances.

You need tickets to eat and buy cloth. There are so many people in a family that the tickets they receive are not enough to go around, and the same goes for food.

So it often takes three years to be new, three years to be old, and then three years to be patched up.

If there is a famine, life will be even more difficult.

Maybe the farming people can still afford to eat steamed corn bread made from coarse grains, and they are considered very happy if they can just drink porridge.

Now with reform and opening up, conditions have gradually improved and their family no longer has to live in hunger.

But you can’t lose your own child.

So now Yu Maidong works in a government agency, and his wife works on engineering projects with her eldest brother from her natal family.

It's also good to leave the children in the care of the elderly.

Anyway, as long as life gets better, there will be a purpose.

After sitting with Qiao Xiazhi for a while, he had to go back quickly if nothing else, and it was not good for him to stay here for too long.

After Yu Maidong left, Qiao Xiazhi thought that he hadn't visited the pharmaceutical factory for a long time because he was busy with hotel matters these days, so he went there in the morning.

I went to work and see patients at the military hospital in the afternoon.

Next, we just have to wait for the next few auctions.
