Chen Fan had seen many officials before. In his opinion, officials can be roughly divided into four categories.
The first type is the money-loving type, and the second type is the lustful type.
During their tenure, these two types of officials either embezzled money lavishly, accepted bribes, or indulged in women and played with all kinds of women.
Category 꺘 is the inaction type.
For them, as long as something goes wrong during their term of office, they will be successful, and they just want to lie low until retirement.
The fourth type truly devotes themselves wholeheartedly to the people.
Now Chen Fan suddenly found himself encountering the fifth type of official.
Then it's the official.
In Chen Fan's view, Tong Haoran is a typical corrupt official.
He is greedy for money and sex, and is eager for quick success. What he is doing now has completely exceeded the ordinary people's livelihood issues and has reached a global perspective.
What Tong Haoran did was to grab a ticket for the entire Yunhai City to develop in the city.
Once his plan succeeds, Yunhai will fall behind in the competition among future cities and may even receive more policy favors.
It is conceivable how much benefit the people from Yunhai who come here will get.
This is truly establishing a mission for the world and for the people.
Chen Fan admires such people.
But he knew that Tong Haoran's plan had failed before.
He underestimated the difficulties of developing the West, and some of his policies and methods were too hasty, which gave his opponents the opportunity to attack him.
When his term of office was up, Tong Haoran left Yunhai sadly, and his career never recovered from it.
Officials like this deserve this fate.
Chen Fan was silent. He was thinking, maybe he could do something for the other party.
Moreover, he had already guessed the purpose of Tong Haoran's meeting with him today.
Sure enough, Tong Haoran on the opposite side picked up the teapot and took the initiative to pour a cup for Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked down at the teacup with a complicated look.
He knew that this cup of tea was delicious, and if he really drank it, he would be held responsible.
No matter who you ask, developing the Yunhai West District is a good idea.
This could be a multi-billion dollar project, rather than a tens of billions or hundreds of billions project.
But the biggest problem in the West District is the shantytowns, which involve only one village and the demolition of tens of thousands of people.
If one handles it well, then it will be a big problem.
Chen Fan was silent for two seconds, and finally picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Putting down the teacup, Chen Fan looked up at Tong Haoran.
"Chief Tong, what do you need me to do?"
It's easy to talk to a smart person.
Tong Haoran showed a smile.
"If... I give the main work of demolition and reconstruction of the West District to your Qifan Construction, can you do it well?"
Chen Fan said without hesitation: "Qifan Construction's current strength is still too small. This is just a small project in the West District. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to accomplish it alone."
Tong Haoran shook his head.
"Of course, we may let your family take over such a large project, and we will recruit other companies at that time, but I hope you can take over the most important slum project."
Chen Fan did not agree directly, but asked: "Can I ask why I was chosen?"
Tong Haoran said calmly: "Because of the suggestion you gave me last time."
"I think we agree on at least some aspects."
Chen Fan said: "Shanty towns...are a big problem."
Tong Haoran had a blank expression on his face: "If it's a big problem, I will come to you. Who can build a house? I can find any real estate company to do it."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, real estate companies have tried to demolish shanty towns before, but the people in the shanty towns are so poor that they asked for ridiculous amounts of money for demolition."
Tong Haoran nodded: "Yes. The problem of shantytowns is huge. But I hope you can find a way to solve this problem."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "What support can you give me?"
Tong Haoran smiled: "Not at the moment. But I personally promise that I can give you all the support except for the policy."
Old fox.
Chen Fan muttered to himself.
After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Fan raised his head and said.
"I have one condition."
"Speak."
"The bank funds needed for the project must be received immediately and cannot be delayed."
Tong Haoran said without hesitation: "Okay. Any other questions?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "No more."
"Really gone?" Tong Haoran was a little surprised.
Chen Fan shook his head. "It's really gone."
"Then I have a request too."
Chen Fan looked over curiously.
Tong Haoran stared at Chen Fan and said calmly, "Demolition must be legal and in compliance with regulations. Violence is not allowed."
"You have to think about it carefully. Once the project starts, there is no turning back."
Chen Fan nodded: "Okay."
Tong Haoran looked at Chen Fan deeply for two seconds, then picked up the teapot again and poured a cup of tea for Chen Fan.
"I'll use tea instead of wine. On behalf of the more than four million people in Yunhai, I toast to you!"
Chen Fan glanced at the teacup, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"Master Tong, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I am afraid there will be a lot of things to do next."
Tong Haoran nodded: "Please remember my personal mobile number later. Please use Yaoyao to contact me next time."
Chen Fan understood that this was a promise the other party made to him, and if something really went wrong, he might not be able to take care of it.
"Goodbye."
He stood up and walked out of the wooden house. The secretary outside the door came over and handed Chen Fan a business card.
There is only one phone number on the page.
Chen Fan put away the business card, nodded to the secretary, and left.
On the way back, Chen Fan was still thinking.
The replanning of the West District is a major project.
The demolition and reconstruction of shanty towns is undoubtedly the biggest piece of the pie, but it is also the most difficult one.
Tong Haoran handed the cake to himself.
If done well, Qifan construction can be raised to several levels in one leap.
If you do it well, you will probably end up bankrupt.
However, Chen Fan was still planning to take on this task.
Not only for the huge profits, but also because he felt Tong Haoran was doing the right thing.
Officials like this should end their careers here.
Good wind, with its help, sends me to the blue sky.
Chen Fan doesn't mind helping the other party.
Just after driving out of the farmhouse, Chen Fan received a call from Fang Ling.
"I've already talked to my family. My dad said he's always available. It's up to you to arrange it."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it now. It's just right for me to have a meal with your dad."
"Ah?" Fang Ling was obviously stunned for a moment, "Now?"
"Wait a minute, let me ask my dad."
After a while, Fang Ling called again and told Chen Fan the name of a hotel.
"This is our Fang family's hotel. Is it okay to stay here?"
"Sure. I'll be there soon."
Twenty minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at the hotel.
To his surprise, he saw only Fang Ling standing at the door, with a middle-aged man in a suit standing next to her.
It looks like he should be Fang Ling's father.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Fan got off the car, the other party came to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Boss Chen, I have always admired your great name. Now that I have seen you, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary. Heroes are born young."
Chen Fan shook hands with the other party humbly.
"Mr. Fang."
He looked at Fang Ling standing beside him and nodded in greeting.
Fang Ling blushed and felt a little shy.
"You, you're here."
