If they were late, they would have to pay hundreds of millions more. Governor Tong was really anxious and told them to call home. He put the phone on speakerphone and yelled at them.
Tell them to come and handle this immediately.
When Governor Tong made his first statement, who would dare not come quickly?
Within ten minutes, the parents from several families arrived.
When they saw the contract, the whole company almost went into shock.
"So much money?"
"Even if we sold our whole house, it wouldn't be enough!"
"Provincial Governor! You have to stand up for us!"
"What decision are you making? It's written in black and white. Why don't you sever ties with your children and throw them in jail!"
Governor Tong was also disappointed in them. If it weren't for Tong Yaru taking the lead, they wouldn't have gotten into such big trouble.
"Let's discuss how to cover up this money."
We just drank on the sidelines, ignoring their discussions.
In the end, those eight companies pooled together 500 million yuan, and when they lacked working capital, they used their fixed assets as collateral.
The small villas that the municipal government was going to allocate to cadres, along with the high-rise buildings behind them, all ended up in Yuan Bao's hands.
The rest are land, docks, warehouses, and the like.
Back at my place, I pointed to that villa community with small apartments.
"I want all of these villas!"
"Take it, take it! The higher-ups at the back can give it to our company's employees."
"Then allocate them to those who are getting married, and those who are doing well. You decide what to do, I have to go abroad again soon."
"Huh? It's almost Chinese New Year, where have you been again?"
I didn't hide it from Yuan Bao and told him about the Shield Organization.
"Holy crap! Isn't that incredibly dangerous? You're practically a national treasure now, do you think the higher-ups would approve you going?"
I hadn't thought of that, but surely the higher-ups can't make decisions for President Peng?
After all, the Shield organization is an international organization.
"So what are your opinions on this year's dividends?"
Previously, these were all matters for the finance department. Is Yuan Bao asking this because something is wrong?
"What's wrong? Is there anything different this year compared to previous years?"
"Brother? Although they are engaged, it's not a good idea to keep dragging this on."
Moreover, I once saw my sister-in-law's relatives come to borrow money, and my sister-in-law directly said that they weren't even married yet, and they had already offended their relatives.
I don't really like relatives lending money, but my sister-in-law said they're not married yet, so we have to keep it in mind.
"This year, we'll give my elder brother and sister-in-law a bigger share. Also, we'll get my elder brother a nice house and a car."
Everything's ready. If they still aren't getting married, there's nothing we can do.
"OK!"
We talked about some company matters before going back to rest.
...
The next day, when I told Nangong Xi about the house, she was shocked:
"You got a house so quickly?"
"Okay! Let's go take a look and see what we're missing."
Actually, I wanted to go out alone with Nangong Xi. All those houses are going to be allocated to city leaders, so how could we possibly lack anything?
However, I don't understand why the real estate development company could use the houses, which were clearly intended for city leaders, to pay off debts.
Fine! This is none of my business, anyway, the house is ours now.
"good!"
I took Nangong Xi out, but as soon as the car reached the door, it was blocked by Mayor Liao's car.
"Engineer Zheng!"
As soon as he saw that I was about to leave, Liao, the capital city resident, couldn't wait for the driver to open the door and jumped out.
I rolled down the window: "What's wrong, boss?"
"Those houses? They were originally meant for us."
"I don't know that. I only know that the developer has proper permits and has already used them to pay off debts."
Besides, it's no use you coming to me. My second brother sold this to our research institute.
“I’ve spoken to Mr. Yuan about that, and he said the house is yours now.”
These houses were originally intended to be donated to the city government; they were only used to pay off debts because they were truly short of money.
What kind of talk is this? The house belongs to someone else. They donated it before this happened, but now that something has happened, you can't even let them use it for something else?
"What does this have to do with me? Are you looking for the person who donated the house?"
"I know! I mean you don't need all of this house. Give it to us first, and then let the developer build more later. You can get it back after it's finished, okay?"
Are you kidding me? These houses are located close to the city center and in a good environment. Why wait?
"Mayor Liao! Have you seen the contract they signed?"
"ah?"
"It's clearly stated in the contract that if the money is paid late, the amount will be doubled. If they agree to pay another 500 million, I might be willing to discuss it."
"this!"
Mayor Liao was dumbfounded.
He must have heard about it.
"President Zheng! Could your research institute contribute to the city government by donating... fifteen apartments?"
Damn! They actually asked me to do that.
"No! Our research institute is not a profit-making organization. The place we have now was given to us by Lang Jun. What right do we have to donate things to others?"
Mayor Liao looked so distressed, he was almost in tears.
Serves you right for giving me attitude along with the provincial governor.
"Mayor Liao! Please move aside!"
Mayor Liao had no choice but to wave his hand and clear the doorway.
I stepped on the gas and drove off.
Nangong Xi looked back and said, "Isn't what we're doing a bad thing? If we ruin our relationship with the local authorities, won't they give us a hard time?"
“He wouldn’t dare! What kind of organization are we? If he dares to do that, he doesn’t want to be the mayor anymore.”
We have all the military units backing us up.
Once the military factories ramp up production and the various military units reap the benefits, I guarantee our backing will be even more secure.
