"What do you mean?" Tang Xiaobao was puzzled. "Free? No way?"
"One yuan per square meter, which is just a symbolic charge. Does it count as giving it away for free?" Chen Mengyao blinked.
Tang Xiaobao frowned: "Will this attract media coverage and attention? If it causes public outcry, it will be a bit annoying."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is very common. Every province and city will support some local leading enterprises, and giving away land in this way is the most common practice." Chen Mengyao explained.
Tang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't happy at all. He said, "This is like pie in the sky, but the problem now is, I have over 20,000 square meters of land. I have to turn it into a private estate. Won't the government intervene?"
"I mentioned it, and they had no objection."
"They should have made some demands, right?" Tang Xiaobao's eyes flashed.
Chen Mengyao was stunned: "You are really smart. Yes, you do have the conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Within ten years, the company cannot relocate."
"That makes sense." Tang Xiaobao nodded. "Well, when can we take over these two plots of land?"
Chen Mengyao said, "From what Mayor Xiong said, we must first sign the cooperation agreement for the Bawan Expressway project before we can get this piece of land. Of course, he didn't say it directly, but that's probably what he meant."
Tang Xiaobao said, "Okay then. Speed is of the essence. You will be responsible for all these matters."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away and try to get it done this week." Chen Mengyao stood up and left.
Lu Mengxi said with some surprise, "Boss Tang, are you really going to provide housing for your employees?"
"Yes, I mean what I say. By the way, please convey my intention to the Human Resources Department and ask them to come up with a reward plan. Some housing will be provided to middle and senior management, and the rest will be awarded to employees with outstanding work performance. The houses will be developed as soon as possible, and the Human Resources Department will be responsible for considering it. We will strive to allocate a batch of houses by the end of the year."
Lu Mengxi nodded in agreement and was about to go out when Tang Xiaobao called her again.
"By the way, can you please arrange for someone else, Ma Ming from Mingcheng Real Estate, to come over," Tang Xiaobao added. Lu Mengxi quickly passed Tang Xiaobao's words to Jiang Qing, and the news quickly spread within the company.
As long as ordinary employees work hard, they can be allocated a house with three bedrooms and one living room, or a two-bedroom and one living room apartment, which is worth more than 500,000 yuan in this area.
This was quite tempting. Suddenly, the employees' enthusiasm increased a lot, and everyone was looking forward to seeing the distribution plan as soon as possible.
The most proud person was Jiang Qing. In just two days, because of this benefit, the headhunting company frequently received good news, and the number of applicants also increased sharply.
Two days later, the land procedures were completed and the cooperation agreement for the Bawan Expressway project was signed.
Mayor Xiong Hanlin was also very considerate. On behalf of the government, he stated that he could help the company's employees find 100 settlement quotas every year.
Tang Xiaobao became more and more familiar with the company's affairs and was gradually getting on the right track.
He is involved in many of the company's decisions.
And on this day, Ma Ming finally arrived at Shenlong Group.
Tang Xiaobao didn't dare to be negligent towards Ma Ming.
There was no way. Ma Ming had taken good care of Tang Xiaobao before he became successful. In addition, Ma Xiaofeng had always been deeply in love with Tang Xiaobao. Now she was going abroad. Tang Xiaobao couldn't help feeling guilty.
Tang Xiaobao personally greeted them at the elevator. When they returned to the office, Tang Xiaobao personally made tea, then he sent Lu Mengxi away, closed the office door, and the two sat down.
"Uncle Ma!"
Tang Xiaobao cried out, his expression somewhat complicated.
Ma Ming looked unhappy, as if he had something on his mind. He patted Tang Xiaobao's shoulder but said nothing.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Tang Xiaobao has been back for so long and has rarely met Ma Ming.
He felt guilty because of Ma Xiaofeng's matter.
But there are benefits, and he will still not forget Ma Ming.
That's why the two of them met today.
Before talking about business, Tang Xiaobao couldn't help but ask about Ma Xiaofeng's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Ma Ming's answer made him feel a little sad.
"We called each other once before the New Year, but we haven't been in touch since then."
Ma Ming sighed and continued, "Don't blame yourself too much. When it comes to relationships, it's better to just go with the flow. You can't force it."
Tang Xiaobao quickly stated, "Uncle Ma, don't worry. I will definitely go look for her. It's just that I don't have the time for the time being, and I don't have any clues. But I've asked someone to look for her. But maybe she wants to live a quiet life alone for a while."
"In fact, she is a very introverted person at heart," said Ma Ming.
Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Introverted, it seems that this has nothing to do with Ma Xiaofeng.
Will Ma Xiaofeng be introverted?
Are you kidding me? Hasn't she always been cheerful and outgoing?
"Okay, you came to me today because you have something, right? Tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will do it without hesitation." Ma Ming never treated Tang Xiaobao as an outsider. He used to think of leaving all his property to Tang Xiaobao and Ma Xiaofeng, but now he no longer has such an idea. Tang Xiaobao succeeded too quickly and was too rich.
Tang Xiaobao said seriously, "Uncle Ma, I just acquired two plots of land nearby. One is for my personal estate, and the other is for a residential area for my employees. I'm always worried about leaving this to others, so I've come to you for help."
Ma Ming was a little shocked: "You developed it into a residential area and provided it all to your employees?"
"That's what I think at the moment." Tang Xiaobao nodded.
Ma Ming sighed, "You're really generous. The land around here is really hot right now. I've heard about it and even wanted to get a piece of land, but the government has been holding on to it. You must have a lot of connections. By the way, how much did it cost?"
Tang Xiaobao felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't hide it. He said, "It's a gift from the government, one yuan per square meter."
"One dollar?"
Ma Ming smiled bitterly and said, "So when running a business, everyone wants to become a leader. This is indeed a free gift, but it's understandable. Who told you that your company has developed so rapidly and expanded many times in size?"
"The government also has conditions. The company cannot move out within ten years. Otherwise, the land will have to be compensated at market price, or even taken back." Tang Xiaobao told the truth.
Ma Ming nodded. "The government can't really give it away for free. They just want to tie you down. I understand. I understand."
