Chapter 526: There are always more solutions than problems
So Boss Yang started by saying, "Well, our group's real estate construction company recently discussed a new project in Mount Li in Yangming District."
"Mount Li?" Section Chief Song was slightly surprised. "That's quite remote. Director Yang wants to develop a project in Mount Li? What can be done there?"
"Build a cemetery." Boss Yang said truthfully.
This remark shocked everyone present except Shen Ci, including Director Sun who was unaware of the situation.
Several leaders looked at each other in shock. Director Zhang was the first to react: "Cemetery? Wow, that's an idea. What a great project!"
Section Chief Song looked at Deputy District Chief Chen and said, "Currently, the largest cemetery in Longcheng is in Jingshan, Xiangcheng District. I think it was built 70 years ago. Our Yangming District does have two city cemeteries and a martyrs' cemetery, but they're very small. The largest one might be occupied by new development projects."
As a first-tier city, the development and competition among various regions are also very fierce.
Due to its poor geographical location, Yangming District has been ranked at the bottom of the middle and lower reaches among the major districts in Longcheng in recent years. The new leadership team took office at the same time that the city approved the development and reconstruction approval for Yangming District, so they are bound to make achievements and also make a significant political achievement for themselves.
For regional construction, the supporting facilities of each plot are particularly critical, and the cemetery is actually a project that is easily overlooked.
What Boss Yang said served as a reminder to the others.
The cemetery is good. Although Zhonghui District is prosperous, it is located in the center of Longcheng, so it is not possible to build a large cemetery.
Yangming District has the endless plain mountain range of Mount Li, and building a cemetery there is simply a genius idea.
Deputy District Chief Chen looked at Boss Yang and said, "Boss Yang, you've got a great project. Are there fewer urban construction projects these days? Someone's actually thinking of starting a cemetery business."
"You know, the several major cemeteries in Longcheng are all public projects. Land occupation is the biggest obstacle to their construction. If an individual wants to take on the responsibility of building a cemetery, firstly, Longcheng has very limited land resources, and secondly, even if there were, where would they buy it?"
"Lishan..." Deputy District Chief Chen frowned and thought for a moment, "Does our district own and manage Lishan?"
He turned to look at the other two people.
Director Zhang took out his phone and said, "I'll have to ask Director Li of the Land Administration Bureau about this."
Before he could send the message, Shen Ci, who had been silent the whole time, said softly, "The ownership of Mount Li was permanently divided decades ago."
This concise and clear sentence actually confused everyone.
"Huh?" Director Zhang blinked as he held his phone, then asked again, bewildered, "W-What do you mean?"
Shen Ci repeated it word for word again.
Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily.
Divided? Could it be...
"Then, then who owns this cemetery project?" Deputy District Chief Chen asked tentatively.
According to what Shen Ci just said, this project could not belong to some big shot, right?
Shen Ci looked at Boss Yang, asking him with his eyes if he could confess his identity. Boss Yang nodded, and Shen Ci said, "It's mine."
Section Chief Song: “!”
Director Zhang: “!”
Deputy District Chief Chen: “!”
The expressions of the three people were coincidentally the same, their eyes were slightly widened, their mouths slightly open, and for a moment they lost control of their expressions.
Chen Ci continued under the shocked expressions of the other party, "I also got this piece of land in Mount Li by accident. My good friend's grandfather is the heir to this land. His surname is Zhu!"
Last name Zhu?
Mr. Zhu?
Several people took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and their expressions changed significantly when they looked at Shen Ci again.
Regardless of whether their guess is right or wrong, the source of this land is not simple, and the person who can buy this land is definitely not simple.
Deputy District Chief Chen turned to look at Boss Yang and said uncertainly: "Boss Yang, I don't mean to offend, but this is really shocking. Is what Miss Shen Ci said true?"
Boss Yang smiled naively and nodded, "Yes, this project is Ah Ci's. She has entrusted it to our group to build. We are determined to create the most luxurious high-end cemetery in Longcheng. We hope to get support from the district."
After getting Boss Yang's confirmation, several leaders obviously did not dare to look down on Shen Ci anymore.
Director Zhang and Section Chief Song fell silent. Only Deputy District Chief Chen nodded after a moment's contemplation. Then he asked, "Tell us what specific difficulties you have encountered."
Boss Yang looked at Shen Ci and motioned for her to speak for herself.
Seeing this, Chen Ci spoke directly: "The bidding site for the cemetery project is not along the road on the edge of Mount Li. It needs to go up along the branch main road for about three to five kilometers. That road needs to be expanded and rebuilt. I want to build a road."
Upon hearing about road construction, Section Chief Song from the Transportation Bureau instinctively straightened up and subconsciously asked, "So you need a permit?"
Shen Ci nodded.
Section Chief Song looked at Deputy District Chief Chen with an awkward expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The planning project is divided into sections for bidding. All the branch roads at the foot of Mount Li are included in the section to be developed. If we single out the road she just mentioned for approval, I'm afraid it won't comply with the regulations."
Firstly, in the development of a large region, there is no precedent of allocating funds to a certain group or individual to build only one road.
Secondly, development qualifications for urban construction require bidding, and it is definitely not possible to issue approval documents privately.
So Boss Yang said at the beginning, "This batch of papers is difficult."
Deputy District Chief Chen nodded in understanding, looked at Shen Ci and said, "We are very optimistic about the cemetery project, but I'm afraid we can't grant you the approval for the road construction alone. Why don't you wait until the Yangming District urban planning and development project starts, and then wait for a company to win the bid and then the government will allocate funds to support the reconstruction of the road. You can also save money!"
The other party's suggestions are quite pertinent, and the most important thing is that they comply with regulations and procedures.
But Chen Ci immediately denied it: "That's too long. District Chief Chen, you know the period of reconstruction of the district. It could be as short as five or six years or as long as more than ten years. My cemetery project has already started."
"This..." Deputy District Chief Chen pursed his lips in some embarrassment.
"Uncle leaders, I don't want you to open that kind of convenient backdoor for me. I know that I can't do anything illegal, and I don't want to do it. But I hope you can help me think of another way to obtain approval through legal channels."
Seeing this, Boss Yang quickly chimed in, "There are always more solutions than problems. Don't you all think this project is very competitive for new construction in Yangming District?"
There's no need to explain the reason too clearly, but Boss Yang's meaning is already very clear.
Helping Aci is helping Yangming District, and even more so helping themselves. Once this high-end cemetery is completed, Yangming District's core competitiveness will definitely be greatly improved.
Everyone here understands this principle!
