Chapter 173

In 1998, there were indeed several policies that had a profound impact. Let’s not talk about the impact of the policy of canceling welfare housing distribution on the housing market. In this year, wireless communication technology with code division multiple access was introduced from abroad. The introduction of this technology directly led to the rapid development of domestic science and technology. The most obvious point is the large-scale appearance of mobile phones.

In 1995, you had to queue up for more than a month in advance to get a telephone line. By 1998, mobile phones were eliminated and mobile phones were widely used.

Jiang Xi still remembers that in the streets and alleys, everyone went from wearing a pager on their waist to wearing a mobile phone on their belt. Until

the 2000s, mobile phones were something worth showing off to ordinary people. They were either worn on the belt of their pants or hung in a conspicuous place on their chest.

At that time, mobile phone cases were very popular. This mobile phone case had a buckle like a trouser belt, through which the belt could be passed. Jiang's father made money and wanted to show off. He bought a mobile phone as soon as it appeared. Although he was tall and thin, he had a belly without a belly every day so that the mobile phone on his waist would be more conspicuous. When he was on the phone, his voice was so loud: "Hello! Hello!" (fourth tone), people within a radius of 50 meters could hear him talking on the phone.

This was not just him, but a common phenomenon at that time.

There was also a policy aimed at the capital market, that is, the stock market was opened up. This move allowed domestic companies to directly raise funds and expand their market value.

Jiang Gui did not say much about these, because many policies are actually of little use to them in their current situation, even for Jiang Guotai, who has the most assets now. He did make a lot of money from the brick factory in the past few years, and this brick factory is still making money for him, because now is an era of rapid development in the construction industry, and brick factories will always have customers, but all the money he made has been invested in the highway project.

If the brick factory accumulated initial funds for him, the highway project was the beginning of his takeoff.

However, there is a policy related to banks that may help Jiang Guotai, who is currently short of money.

Jiang Guotai and Mayor Jiang had not heard a word of what Jiang Qing said. Of course they hadn't heard it. In this era, news was slow to spread, and it took a long time for it to reach local levels from the central government. Mayor Jiang, as the mayor of a small town on the edge of an ancient county town, got his news from the county. The policies that reached his ears were basically spread throughout the country through various newspapers and the "Xinwen Lianbo" - not to mention the mayors across the country.

They also couldn't believe it was all true. Many policy changes that seemed very obvious to later generations were like boiling a frog in warm water. It was natural and natural. For example, the policy of giving a blue-stamped hukou to those who bought a house. In later generations, how difficult would it be to settle down in places like Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen? Even buying a house was not enough to settle down. You needed education and special talents.

For people at that time, buying a house and giving a hukou was just as it should be. Even if it was given, no one would buy it, let alone not giving it in the future.

They had money, let alone buying a house in the city. The first thing they thought of was to build a luxurious house in their hometown for the so-called face. If you don't return to your hometown in splendor,

it's like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.

But Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai are more knowledgeable than ordinary people. They are more sensitive to some national policies than ordinary people. For example, the policy of canceling welfare housing mentioned by Jiang Xi. The policy of welfare housing distribution by units has lasted for so many years. No one in the situation would have thought that this policy would be canceled just like that. But if you step out of this situation and think deeply about what Jiang Xi said, you will know that the implementation of this policy is imperative. After all, in order to promote the development of the housing market, all places have given blue-stamp household registration. So, in order to promote the development of the housing market, why is it impossible to cancel the welfare housing distribution policy?

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "If my uncle and I have extra money, they can buy a house in Shanghai first. Shanghai is developing rapidly. When the housing prices in Shanghai go up in two years, my uncle and my uncle will need money. They can mortgage the house in Shanghai to the bank and make money from it."

Jiang Guotai has invested all his funds in the construction of the expressway. How can he afford to buy a house in Shanghai? Only 30% of the construction fee for the expressway has been paid. When the construction is halfway completed, the next 30% will be paid. The final 40% will not be paid until the expressway is fully completed and inspected.

In order to get this project, Jiang Guotai spent a lot of money on all aspects of the project. He also put in a lot of money for the construction of the project. Although he had a surplus, it was just enough to cover his current large stall. Of course, he couldn't invest all of it.

Afterwards, Jiang Qi talked about the bank loan policy, which made Jiang Guotai's eyes light up. This year, the state allocated nearly 30 billion yuan to major banks, and the banks lent money to factories and private enterprises to promote economic development.

If he could get a bank loan, he could get the precious land of Shahe Beach first, which would be a huge and endless wealth in the future.

He saw Jiang Wu giving him a meaningful smile, and he couldn't help but smile.

His niece was not ignorant, she understood too much and was reminding him.

At this time, if there was no bank policy, how could he have thought of taking out a bank loan to contract the beach and open a sand factory?

People at this time were deeply afraid of taking out a bank loan. There was always a feeling that as long as they were related to the loan, their family would be broken up. Jiang Guotai had never thought of this before. After all, this concept also deeply influenced him and caused his blind spot in thinking.

But once this blind spot in thinking was opened, he immediately became enlightened. He was a bold and careful person who dared to break out and act. Otherwise, he would not have been the first person in Jiangjia Village to break out in this era and later established such a large business empire. Don't look at all the billionaires and trillionaires after 2010, but before 2010, a billionaire with nearly 10 billion was already a well-known tycoon. At that time, the company under his name had not even gone public for financing. Once it went public, his assets could double again.

Father Jiang and Jiang Guotai grew up together. Although he himself is not careful, he is also a brave man. After hearing what Jiang Wu said, he also thought that the idea was feasible. But Mother Jiang did not understand. After hearing Jiang Wu talk about the new banking policy that will be issued this year, she heard the hidden meaning of her words, and she actually encouraged Jiang Guotai to take out a loan. She immediately became anxious and scolded her: "What do you know as a child? You still want to take out a loan? Look at how many people who took out high-interest loans have lost their families!" She also advised Jiang Guotai: "Don't listen to her, a child. " You are so stupid. Why are you going to get a loan? You have a big family and a good life now. You should live a down-to-earth life. You can do as much as you can!"

Jiang Guotai said to Mayor Jiang and Jiang's father with a smile: "Look, Ailian is still so impatient. We are just a family gathered together to chat. How can we listen to the children's words and say that the family is broken up? It's not allowed to say these unlucky things during the New Year."

He was actually a little unhappy.

Shen Hongyun also took Jiang's mother's hand and said: "What did you say to them? What can a group of grown men say when they get together? They only know how to brag! Let's crack our melon seeds!"

Jiang's mother thought, of course you are not worried, you have lived a comfortable life these years, how can you know that I have lived a life of fear and anxiety these years?

She was really afraid that her stable life would change again. She knew Jiang's father too well. Jiang's father's face was full of interest at this time, and his eyes were shining.

Jiang Guotai himself was very stable. The more eagerly he thought about something in his heart, the calmer and more indifferent he appeared on the outside, and the more stable and introverted he became.

Next, Mayor Jiang and Jiang Qi talked about boosting the economy of Jiangjia Village, Linhe Brigade, Shuibu Town, and Yaoba Town. They mainly listened to the more detailed development of Jiangjia Village, Linhe Brigade, and Yaoba Town.

Yaoba Town is really the town under Mayor Jiang's jurisdiction.

During the whole process, only Jiang Xi was talking in detail. Jiang Guotai and Mayor Jiang asked a question occasionally. They all had brand new notebooks and pens in their hands and kept taking notes in their notebooks. Mayor Jiang was afraid of missing something, so he asked Jiang Yanyan, who was in her second year of high school, to go out and get the BBK repeater she was using to learn English listening. After pressing the record button, they listened carefully to Jiang Xi's planning for them.

A group of people around, such as Jiang Yanyan, Jiang Miao, and Jiang Bai, were listening to it in a breathless manner. Jiang Bai didn't have this kind of brain in his brain. After listening to it, he just thought:

Wow! What my sister said makes a lot of sense!

Wow! It turns out that this is possible!

Wow! My sister is amazing!

Jiang Yanyan and Jiang Miao, one is a sophomore and the other is a junior, listened with eyes full of mosquito coils, they didn't understand, but they were not surprised.

Jiang Xin, who was trained by his father, and Wang Xiyue, who has been with his father since childhood, have changed their eyes when looking at Jiang Xi.

They are both sophomores, and one is still in the stage of seeing a lot of the world with his father, learning his father's methods and skills to deal with things, and performing well, and having an easy life in college, dating with the object, and going abroad to study hand in hand in the future.

One is still in the stage of being a middle-aged woman. She has a good family background, has been beautiful since she was a child, is sweet-mouthed and good at speaking, and has a good life in college. She is in love with her boyfriend and has planned to study abroad with him. When she comes back, she will probably take the civil service exam or do other things under the arrangement of her father. She will definitely have a bright future and there is no need to worry.

But what is Jiang Xi, who is younger than them, talking about? He is talking about the governance of a place, how to drive the economic development of a place, how to drive the whole village, and even the whole town and county to get rich together.

It was not until then that Jiang Xin and Wang Xiyue realized what a top student from Peking University is.

Is this the student from Peking University? This is only the first semester of college, and they are still standing on the first floor, but Jiang Xi's sister has already thought of the seventh floor.

Only Jiang's father was laughing like a fool, as if he had seen his daughter enter the system, hold a stable job, and rise to high positions.

Jiang's mother was watching her daughter talking nonsense. The key point was that she, a little girl, dared to speak, and Jiang Guotai and Jiang Zhenzhang, two shrewd guys, dared to listen, and even listened with notebooks. In Jiang's mother's view, this was far from Dapu.

But she also knew that she was illiterate and had little knowledge. She could not understand what they said. She thought it was all nonsense and unreliable. Sometimes Jiang Xi did not say much, just a few words. Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai understood, but Jiang's mother was confused. She wondered if it was her fault that she could not understand. But she could not

understand other things, but she could not get the words "bank loan" wrong, right?

The wife of Mayor Jiang is older than both Mother Jiang and Shen Hongyun. She doesn't look like Mayor Jiang or Jiang Yanyan at all. Jiang Yanyan has a full and round face, which looks exactly like Mayor Jiang, but the wife's face is slightly concave, with a protruding forehead and chin, and a shallow arc from the bridge of the nose to the mouth. But she has been making clothes by hand in the store for many years, and she has a very gentle temperament. She doesn't understand and doesn't care what they are saying. She just listens quietly with a smile and lets Mayor Jiang do what he wants.

She never cares about his work, but only takes care of the children and her own store business.

Shen Hongyun can understand, she has always been in and out with Jiang Guotai, attending any event, meeting any people, and doing the wife's diplomacy, she is the one who comes forward.

They chatted from less than 1pm to 3pm. Jiang Xin and Wang Xiyue had no chance to get a word in and could only listen quietly. Wang Xiyue no longer felt superior to Jiangjia Village because she was from the city. She even asked Jiang Xin quietly, "Are the people in your village so amazing? Jiang Guotai is already amazing enough. She was a poor boy from a mountain village, but now she has become a big shot with her father's help and got a highway construction project. Even her father didn't object to her dating Jiang Xin." Jiang

Bai, who appeared on TV today, was even more handsome and flawless when he looked closely.

Yes, there were some light freckles on both sides of his nose, which not only did not damage his appearance, but even made him look more real. When he smiled, he looked shy, like a neighbor's brother.

I heard that they have an older brother who has been a celebrity in the area since he was a child.

Then look at Jiang Xin next to him.

Jiang Xin is naturally very good to be recognized by her father. At least in terms of the emotional intelligence and interpersonal relationships she has shown so far, there is nothing wrong with it. Her appearance is even more impeccable. She looks very similar to Jiang Guotai.

Jiang Guotai is not very handsome, but he definitely has a dignified appearance. When he was young, he was not as handsome as his father Jiang, but he was also handsome. Jiang Xin, who looks like Jiang Guotai, suddenly looks ordinary when standing next to Jiang Bai.

Wang Xiyue originally has a high emotional intelligence and gets along very well with Jiang Guotai's family. After meeting the brother and sister Jiang Qing and Jiang Bai, she restrained her sense of superiority that she might not even be aware of, and became more down-to-earth.

Finally, Jiang Miao and Jiang Yanyan were tired from listening to their chatter, and they ran out to watch TV and see the grandmothers playing mahjong outside.

The weather was cold, so the grandmothers did not play mahjong in the sun on the platform in the afternoon, but ran to the home of Mayor Jiang to play mahjong. Some of the old men were playing the most popular game of Landlord outside, while others stayed to brag and chat.

Jiang Xin and Wang Xiyue also saw what Jiang Guotai said, that their next generation must be led by this group of people.

Even though Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai had already expected too much from Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu's sensitivity to politics, analysis of the economic situation, and analysis of the country's future trends far exceeded their expectations. They were amazed and their attitude towards the younger generation improved to that of their peers. Even many years later, when he had become successful and had a net worth of tens of billions, it was because of Jiang Wu that they were impressed. With his career going smoothly and his social status rising, Jiang Guotai became self-willed and even a little domineering. Whenever he couldn't make up his mind and wanted to discuss something with someone, and didn't want to listen to anyone's opinions and just wanted to be the boss, he would call Jiang Xi to ask for his opinion. One word from Jiang Xi was more useful than a hundred words from people around him and had a greater impact on him.

Not only him, but also Mayor Jiang. Among the three of them, although Mayor Jiang is the oldest, one year older than Jiang's father, and Jiang Guotai is the youngest, one year younger than Jiang's father, all the villagers call him "Fourth Brother". One reason is that when he was in school, he had the best grades, and he was both a student and a teacher, so everyone respected him. Another reason is that his social status is the highest in the village. Even if he is older than him, who dares to call him "Old Four" like when he was young?

Mayor Jiang once thought that he could retire in the county and that his career would be over.

Unexpectedly, the age of forty-something is not the end of his career, but the beginning of his career.

Who can think of the opportunities in life?

At around 4 o'clock, the mayor's wife had already gone out with Shen Hongyun and Jiang's mother. Tonight, mayor Jiang insisted on having them eat at his house. Unfortunately, although mayor Jiang's social status was the highest in the village, his old house was the same as Jiang's father's old house, and the shortest one among the surroundings.

Mayor Jiang was allocated a house in Yaoba Town. Throughout the year, only his grandfather and his wife occasionally lived in their old house. Most of the time, they were taken to Yaoba Town by them to live with them.

Their house in Yaoba Town was not very big. The first floor was the tailor shop of the mayor's wife. The second floor had two rooms, one for the couple and one for their daughter. The daughter lived in the school dormitory after entering high school. The room was currently occupied by the old couple. When the daughter came back from vacation, she would either partition off the room and put a small bed in it, or the old couple had wanted to go back to the village for a while.

Seeing that the old house of the mayor's family was really not enough, Jiang Guotai simply suggested: "Let's go to Guoping's house. His house is big and it's a new house. They haven't held a beam-raising wine ceremony yet. It's just right for us to hold a beam-raising wine ceremony for him during the New Year."

Jiang's mother took Shen Hongyun and the others to Jiang's house to prepare dinner. The mayor's wife and Shen Hongyun were afraid that the Jiang family didn't have enough food, so they brought a lot of food from their own homes.

Jiang Zhenchang's family actually didn't have much money, and they had limited things to give out. The main reason was that Jiang Guotai was very wealthy. Even if he invested more money in the project, his brick factory would still have a steady stream of income. It was still the end of the year, and it was the best time for the brick factory to do business throughout the year. Just plucking a leg hair would be Jiang Zhenchang's annual salary.

Jiang Guotai asked his eldest son Jiang Xin to carry a lot of things to Jiang's house, which scared Jiang's mother. She was flattered and said that she didn't need to bring so many things, but Jiang Guotai still sent them over.

Jiang Guotai always had a smile on his face and looked like he was easy to get along with, but in fact he had a very tough personality and was very patriarchal. This characteristic became more and more serious as his career developed.

Of course, in front of outsiders, he was just like Jiang Wu, smiling at everyone and having a good attitude.

After the children and Jiang Ma had all left, they talked about the sand factory in detail.

When Jiang Wu talked about river sand, only Jiang Guotai understood it. Even the mayor of Jiang Town did not react. This was such a huge treasure.

Jiang Guotai did not hide it from Jiang Dad. After all, it was Jiang Wu who reminded him of this.

Jiang Ma was not here. Jiang Dad was like a wild horse that had broken free from his reins. He was so excited by Jiang Wu's plan for the sand factory that he wanted to lend a large sum of money immediately and contract these sand factories.

Yes, several.

Shahe is very large, spanning two urban areas, Wucheng Shuibu Town, Wujiang City and the neighboring city. Therefore, the ownership of this beach is not a single place, and it can be done by signing a contract. It is divided into three major areas according to different sections and different government management areas.

In other words, it is divided into three sand factories.

In his previous life, Jiang Guotai relied on the home advantage of Jiangjia Village to contract the two largest sand factories. There was also a small sand field, which was taken away by the brother-in-law of a city leader who got the news. The reason why he got the smallest one was because he didn't know much about the business and didn't understand the situation in Shahe. He just heard about it from his brother-in-law. After seeing the benefits, he used the least money to get the smallest sand factory because he lacked funds. However, no matter how small the sand factory was, it was a no-cost transaction, and he could just lie down and count money at home.

Jiang Qi analyzed the locations of these sand factories one by one, their locations, and how to take over these sand factories.

There was no need for her to explain these things, Jiang Guotai naturally understood them all. Jiang Xi only gave the beginning, and he knew what to do next, and he quickly formed a plan in his mind on how to implement it quickly and effectively.

Although Mayor Jiang knew that this was a huge fortune, he and Jiang Guotai were on two different tracks. Jiang Guotai put his arm around Mayor Jiang's shoulders and said clearly: "Fourth brother, don't worry. We grew up together. From the time I wore open-crotch pants, I have been following you. You all know what kind of person I am. Just go your own way. You don't need to worry about the rest. I will prepare all the necessary relationships and things for you. You don't need to know anything. Just focus on developing the economy of our hometown, Shuibu Town, Yaoba Town, and the entire Wucheng in the future." Come, if you need anything behind the scenes, as long as I need it, I will do it without hesitation!" He

then said to Jiang's father: "This matter was mentioned by Qiang Qiang, so there must be a share in this matter. If you want to participate, we brothers will do it together. If you don't participate, then I will give you a little share, not much."

Jiang's father is capable, which Jiang Guotai knows, but Jiang's father's shortcomings are also obvious. According to Jiang Guotai, in this election of brigade secretaries, Jiang's father is most suitable for the job of brigade secretary, assisting Jiang Zhenzhang and Jiang Guo to first develop the economy of Jiangjia Village and Linhe Brigade, and drive the prosperity of the whole village.

Jiang's father is ready to go, of course, to do it together.

But Jiang Guotai patted Jiang's father on the shoulder, smiled, and said nothing.

Jiang Wu, on the other hand, said to Jiang Guotai, "Uncle, you don't need to prepare my shares. I don't need them. You and I are not on the same track. I don't need these."

As long as Jiang Wu is willing, she can use her current royalties to invest. She will easily become a billionaire in the future, and she won't even need to worry too much.

Her words made Jiang Guotai laugh out loud, with admiration on his face. He said, "Yes, yes, you and uncle are not on the same track. Uncle will rely on us to support you in the future. Don't worry, you don't have to have shares, but uncle will give you everything you deserve. Just like your fourth uncle, concentrate on your own field. Whether you want to go into scientific research or any other field in the future, as long as uncle can support you, you don't have to say a word. Uncle will take care of it for you!"

Jiang Wu took a sip of tea and laughed. She said, "Uncle, we should keep a low profile outside. There are many hidden talents outside. Don't look down on me. How many people like me can be produced in Tsinghua University and Peking University every year? There are many people who are better than me. I have read a saying that when you are proud, you should treat others as human beings, and when you are frustrated, you should treat yourself as a human being."

She looked at Jiang's father. Jiang's father was stunned and chewed on this sentence again and again. He was unable to get up due to the huge debt for many years. During the years of frustration, he lived like a dog without a home. How could he treat himself as a human being? He simply treated himself as a dog.

Now that he has made some money, he can't wait to come back to build a big house to show off, to tell all the people in the village who once laughed at him and looked down on him that even if he, Jiang Guoping, had been frustrated for ten years, he is back now!

At this time, Jiang Guotai did not feel deeply about these words. He has always been smooth and thoughtful in doing things. He only thought that these words were said to Jiang's father and to himself. How could he have thought that these words were advice to him?

He laughed and patted Jiang's father on the shoulder, and said with a high-spirited smile: "Did you hear what Xing Xing said? What's the big deal when you are in a low point for a while? Think about how poor our village was back then? We couldn't even have enough food to eat, and we didn't even have a pair of good shoes. Look at us now! Your past is over, and we are still young, with plenty of opportunities!"

When they came out and went to Jiang's house for dinner, the villagers stood on the high platform and looked at them. They were surprised to find that Jiang Xing, the young man, was not walking at the end, but was pulled by Jiang Guotai and Jiang Zhenzhang to walk in the middle of them, walking side by side with them. Both of them smiled and lowered their heads to talk to Jiang Xing. I don't know what they were talking about.
