Hushan Restaurant.
A private room on the second floor.
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Not only did Gu Daqiang come back, but his wife also came back.
Six adults and one child sat around a table, chatting happily.
Fatty Zhang personally brought a plate of delicious dishes, and the proprietress came to toast them. The couple were both very grateful to Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang for their help.
The atmosphere at the table gradually became heated. Huo Qianli put down his glass and said, "Qiuyan, how is your work recently?"
Jiang Qiuyan couldn't help but pinch her nephew Pang Dudu's face again and said with a smile, "It's fine! The leaders and colleagues are all very nice, and the work is going well."
"Just forget it! We are all family, stop bragging!"
Gu Haitao was merciless in exposing my shortcomings. "Every day he complained to me that his boss was stupid, his colleagues were stupid, and that he was a jerk in his job and a jerk in his work. It didn't feel like work at all. He was in dire straits... Ugh."
Jiang Qiuyan picked up a golden fried bun and stuffed it into Gu Haitao's mouth, saying angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Gu Daqiang and his wife were not angry. They just laughed and it seemed like they were used to it.
Huo Qianli smiled, picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Qiuyan: "You are so smart, so I can't be your teacher. Tell me if you need anything. I wish you all the best."
Jiang Qiuyan also raised her wine glass with both hands and smiled sweetly, "Brother-in-law, you should also work hard. Be careful that I might surpass you one day!"
"Then I'll throw you a celebration banquet." Huo Qianli smiled and drank a glass, then glanced at Gu Haitao, "But you have such strong financial strength behind you, I guess it's not my turn to spend the money, right, Mr. Gu?"
"Brother Qianli, please stop making fun of me." Gu Haitao chuckled, "But to be honest, life has not been as good as before in the past two years. There are more people renovating houses in the past few years than before. Although the price of building materials has dropped a bit, there are fewer projects and less money to earn."
He suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Qianli, "Brother Qianli, a business colleague wants to get me into real estate together, what do you think?"
Huo Qianli thought for a moment, "What do you think?"
"I think it's a good idea. I built their houses anyway. What he meant is that his real estate company and my engineering company should jointly set up a new real estate company and work together."
Huo Qianli pondered for a moment, "Urbanization is an inevitable trend, and land finance will continue for a long time in the future. In the long run, the real estate market will inevitably continue to develop. There is nothing wrong with this general direction. But when it comes to partnerships, you need to think carefully about the other party's character, how to distribute the benefits, various administrative approval procedures, etc. The business world is like a battlefield, and they will pit you without negotiation. Be careful not to make a mistake, or all your previous efforts will be wasted. You have to be cautious."
Gu Haitao hummed, "Brother Qianli, you are right. I said the same thing. If this is a good idea, just do it yourself. It's just hiring people anyway!"
Huo Qianli looked at Gu Daqiang and gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, your vision is still so unique!"
"What's so unique about it? It's just the small-scale peasant mentality. I'm afraid of being cheated." Gu Daqiang smiled and picked up the cup, "Come on, Brother Huo, have a full cup."
The two of them drank a glass, and Gu Daqiang said, "Thank you for your concern for our family. How are you doing recently? Is everything going well?"
Huo Qianli hummed, "It was a bit troublesome at the beginning, but now it's almost sorted out."
Gu Daqiang held the wine glass in his hand and said, "Aiya, Baoxing kid, how did you go astray?"
Huo Qianli sighed, "The industrial park has too much profit. It's easy to feel unbalanced when you handle so much money every day but only get a few thousand yuan in salary. The town's ideological propaganda and implementation were not done well before, and it didn't sound a wake-up call for everyone."
Gu Daqiang looked gloomy, "I guess Baoxing will be sentenced to many years in prison, right?"
"Yeah." Huo Qianli nodded. "But he was very cooperative and honest in explaining the problem to the organization, which may be conducive to a lighter sentence."
Gu Daqiang looked at Huo Qianli and said, "Baoxing kids are doing this, and the town is doing this too. I'm afraid the development of the village in the next few years will not be good, right?"
Huo Qianli nodded. "It's not just the village, the whole Qianfu Town is not doing well. Originally, Hushan Village had taken the lead, and neighboring villages had gradually followed suit, forming a good situation of coordinated development for the whole town. However, after Zheng Zhong left, the situation was quickly abandoned. The town leaders only focused on attracting investment and tax revenue from the industrial park, and only looked at the fastest and most direct way to achieve political achievements. They did not build effective industrial collaboration at all. They picked up watermelons and lost sesame seeds!"
Gu Daqiang pounded the table in frustration and poured himself a glass of wine. "Hey, you spent a lot of effort to create such a good situation. Hey..."
Huo Qianli also picked up the cup and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, just start over! At least now the foundation is much better than before!"
The two looked at each other, clinked their glasses silently, and drank up.
Bang!
Gu Haitao couldn't help it any longer and slammed the chess piece in his hand onto the table.
"Old man! Brother Qianli! I'm going to say something to you! You two grown men, just speak out what you think! Old man, you want to go back and continue to be the village chief and do your business, just mention it to Brother Qianli, will he refuse? What's so shameful about it! Brother Qianli, you want to invite me back to clean up the mess in Hushan Village, just say it! Can he let go of Hushan Village? Isn't this an obvious thing? But you insist! You are so shy, just like a woman!"
Huo Qianli's eyes lit up and he looked at Gu Daqiang, "Brother, are you really willing to come back?"
