"Land transactions also depend on who's buying and selling it," Lin Huayong said with a smile. "If you're a domestic investor, there are almost no preferential policies. But if you're an investor from Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan, then congratulations! The preferential policies are quite significant."
"Really?" Li Chunli widened her eyes.
Lin Huayong nodded, "Of course, my household registration has now been changed to Hong Kong nationality."
The fact that Lin Huayong's household registration had been changed to Hong Kong nationality caught Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli by surprise. If they hadn't heard him say it himself this time, they really wouldn't have known.
"I got it two years ago. One of my father's old subordinates helped me with it. That's why I gave up my status as a government official to venture into Shenzhen. It was because of this Hong Kong hukou. In Shenzhen, as Hong Kong businessmen, we can enjoy more preferential policies, which is something mainland companies can't afford." Lin Huayong said with a smile, "Chunli, Fangguo, if you want to spend less money, why not use my company to buy land."
"Wouldn't this be unfair to the workers in the factory? Maybe this is their life-saving money." Li Chunli is a kind woman after all, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head and said, "Sister Li, I've already discussed this with the factory workers' committee. They're very familiar with the current factory leaders' personalities. They say they're giving benefits to the employees, but in reality, they're very lucky to even give a small portion of their income to them. So, they're not concerned about the price; they just want the park to be built sooner. If we can get the land at a low price this time, I'm thinking of giving some benefits to the factory employees during New Year's Day and Spring Festival as a way of thanking them."
After hearing what Yuan Fangguo said, Li Chunli's heart became calm, and her slightly frowned brows became relaxed. "Okay, then I'll do as you say."
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Lin Huayong and said, "Brother Yong, let's borrow your company's shell this time."
"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Lin Huayong asked jokingly.
Li Chunli shook her head. "I believe you."
"Chun Li, if it's feasible, let's write an agreement and write the date on the back. Then I will transfer it to you free of charge, so you can feel at ease. How about it?" Lin Huayong suggested.
Li Chunli felt a little embarrassed. In this case, it seemed that she did not trust Lin Huayong very much, but since it was Lin Huayong who proposed it.
"Okay, if we can borrow it, we'll sign an agreement."
The three of them readily reached a gentleman's alliance.
After having dinner at Li Chunli's house, Niu Niu seemed to have forgotten the previous agreement and fell asleep during the meal.
Yuan Fangguo felt that if he stayed any longer he would be like a third wheel, so after a brief chat he left decisively.
When he got home, he quickly changed out of his suit and put on a down jacket.
It was still early, only eight o'clock, and his laziness seemed to have kicked in. He didn't want to go back to the school dormitory to rest at night, so he called the dormitory. Gao Dapeng answered the phone and told Gao Dapeng to make his bed at night.
Gao Dapeng agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Fangguo always felt a little worried about Zhang Nan's health, but he was embarrassed to go to his house to see him. After hesitating for a long time, he still called Zhang Nan's home.
Zhang Nan told Yuan Fangguo that she had been resting in bed and her stomach pain was not so severe now.
After reminding Zhang Nan to keep warm and take care of his health, Yuan Fangguo felt that he couldn't talk too much on the phone, so he ended the call with Zhang Nan.
As soon as the call ended, everything around fell silent.
Yuan Fangguo suddenly thought that he had not written a letter home for a long time, so he decided to write a letter to his younger brother and sister tonight.
He made a cup of hot tea, carried it into the study, drew the curtains, and looked at the bright lights of thousands of homes outside the window. Yuan Fangguo stared intently for a long time, until his excited heart calmed down, then he found a pen and paper and started writing.
I didn't go home during the summer vacation and I missed home a lot. I didn't know what the house at home looked like. In the letter, Yuan Fangguo told his younger brothers and sisters that he would definitely go home for the Spring Festival. He also told them some of the things he saw and heard in Chengdu, and encouraged them to study hard in school. By then, all four brothers and sisters would develop in Chengdu.
After writing the letter to his younger brother and sister, Yuan Fangguo checked it again. When he was about to seal it, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
In this quiet night, the sudden ringing of the phone really scared Yuan Fangguo.
I picked up the phone and heard my second brother's voice.
"Brother, our company commander wants to treat you to a meal this weekend."
"Invite me to dinner?" Yuan Fangguo was confused.
"Yes." Yuan Fangtai affirmed.
"Why did your company commander invite me to dinner?" Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"He said you're a very loyal person. In the past, you always treated him, so he has to treat you back, otherwise he'll feel embarrassed in the future."
"Well, since he said that, I wouldn't be giving him face if I didn't go. Okay, tell me when you've made the decision."
"It's already been arranged. It's Sunday at noon at the fishing house in Damiao Town. You can come directly to our camp then."
"No problem." Yuan Fangguo agreed immediately, and then he told his second brother about his plan to go home for the Spring Festival.
In his words, he asked Yuan Fangtai if he could go home.
"It's probably difficult, but I'll try my best." Yuan Fangtai smiled bitterly. To be honest, he also missed home a little.
"Second brother, will Zhao Yong be discharged from the army next week?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly thought of Zhao Yong. This year is his last year of service.
"Yes, next week, leaving the team on the evening of the 24th."
"Then please make an appointment for me next week. I'll treat him to a meal as a token of my appreciation for him."
"Okay, I'll tell the squad leader later."
The two brothers had not seen each other for more than two months, so the phone call lasted a particularly long time. They talked about family matters until Yuan Fangguo vaguely heard a whistle and the command of "roll call" on the phone. Yuan Fangtai then reluctantly told him that they were going to call the roll.
After finishing the call with Yuan Fangtai, Yuan Fangguo returned to the study and sealed the envelope with a serious look on his face.
There were less than eighty days left until the Spring Festival of 1995, and he had already begun to look forward to returning home.
That night, Yuan Fangguo slept in the new house. Perhaps it was because he seldom stayed in this place, or perhaps it was because he drank tea in the evening, but he tossed and turned in bed all night until he fell into a deep sleep in the early morning.
