Zhou Xiang sighed. The county had a huge shortage. Many units had started to buy out their employees. The money for the buyouts needed to be allocated by the Finance Bureau.
"Attracting investment is not like buying vegetables. If you don't buy well this time, you just need to be careful next time. Others have only invested a small amount of money to develop the property, but we have given the land and houses to others for their use. They can get loans with the contracts, and they are still using the money from our local banks to do the work.
Also, does he advocate buying back homes from the public at low prices and selling them to those whose homes are being relocated at high prices? And sharing the huge difference with the government?
The deputy county magistrate nodded seriously.
The director looked up in shock.
Zhou Xiang continued, "I know you're wondering how I know this, Director. I'm telling you, it's all a trick. Everyone who's planning to 'do big things' uses this. The government demolished people's houses, so why can't they get a one-to-one replacement? Why should they even pay to buy a house? You're making money for the government, but you're getting a lot of criticism."
The deputy county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Zhou Xiang, I understand what you mean. You feel for the people and are worried about the government. Let's not talk about that for now. I want to ask what the routine you are talking about is."
"This kind of trick is to take advantage of the idea that dilapidated county towns are eager to be renovated and developed. People come with millions of dollars to invest, but they develop your entire county town. With the contract you signed, they can go to the bank to mortgage the money and use the loan to start superficial construction.
He tried his best to use profit sharing to lure you into agreeing to his unequal terms, mainly so that he could raise funds in the form of pre-sales. Don’t you know the amount of funds raised by Manager Song through pre-sales?
He wants the money raised by the people of the entire county. Calculate the difference between the two. How much money will he get? Yes, the more money he gets, the more you will get.
But building the county town and giving you a share of the profits are just a cover. This huge sum of money is his real purpose. Hundreds of millions! Where can he not escape to? Change his identity and get some plastic surgery. The country is so big, where can you find him like a needle in a haystack?
The deputy county magistrate fell into deep thought.
The director shook his head in disbelief.
Zhou Xiang felt that this director must have been the cause of all the trouble in his previous life. "So, did you ever plan to keep control of this money from the beginning? Even if it was given to you, could you really keep control of it? He needs to buy this today, and that tomorrow. Slowly, the money was transferred by him.
Who among you understands the ins and outs of this? Who's willing to watch him every day? And can they keep an eye on him? Who understands Zhejiang dialect? If he calls you right in front of you and says he's absconded with the money, you won't understand.
It's not that you're stupid, but this kind of thing has become a routine in big cities outside, and our Huai County is still a relatively closed-off small town. People are too trusting of people and things. When they see that the IDs they show are real, they think that the monk can escape but the temple cannot. But after making hundreds of millions, what's the point of a temple? They can build anywhere.
If you don't believe it, just observe his words and actions carefully. Don't be brainwashed by his few design drawings and the bright prospects he talked about. It's best to ask someone to investigate his background.
As for what to do, you guys can figure it out for yourselves. I've done my duty and lived up to my conscience, that's all."
Zhou Xiang felt that he had said everything he wanted to say and wanted to see his guest off, but the investor Xiao Shen came back. Song Yunqing followed him with two bamboo fishing rods and smiled awkwardly at Zhou Xiangxian, but he didn't stop him.
Xiao Shen sat next to the deputy county magistrate and introduced herself to Zhou Xiang. "Hello, Miss Zhou! I just took a walk around the park, and I think your park needs some improvement..."
Zhou Xiang raised his hand to stop his long speech. "Mr. Shen, this is my own private property. I can design it however I like. If I don't like it, I can just fill it up. No one else can interfere. It's like your child. You think he is good in every way, beautiful, obedient and sensible. If someone comes to you and says that your child is average-looking and is cheating on food and drinks outside, would you be happy?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. No one expected Zhou Xiang to speak so harshly to Xiao Shen, whom he met for the first time.
Song Yunqing quickly tried to smooth things over, "Xiao Shen, you don't know, this park used to be a stinking ditch. Zhou Xiang spent a lot of energy and resources to repair it. It's already in the best condition. At present, there is no need to rush to improve it."
Xiao Shen's expression softened a bit, and he laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds. Miss Zhou is right. It's inappropriate and rude of me to criticize the park you worked so hard to build right away."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help but admire Mr. Shen, who was flexible and good at networking. No wonder he could swindle hundreds of millions!
She smiled faintly, "It's okay, I was too extreme, and I've been a little emotionally unstable recently. Please forgive me, Mr. Shen."
Xiao Shen's face returned to its smiling expression. "It's okay, it's okay. Manager Song said you had something urgent to ask him. I came here uninvited. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"I'm not disturbing you. I have something to consult with Manager Song, and I'm not feeling well, so I can only ask Manager Song to come over. I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting."
Xiao Shen waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay. We can't make a decision on the matter we're studying right now. Your matter is more important, so Manager Song doesn't need to accompany me. Director Zhang, please accompany me to go fishing!"
Director Zhang quickly stood up and followed Xiao Shen out of Zhou's yard. Song Yunqing sat down and asked Zhou what important thing he wanted to tell him.
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "I've already said it, Deputy County, I think you should just follow Director Zhang! If he's determined to attract investment and use what I just said to please Xiao Shen, hehe, if he changes his strategy and brings in someone else, you'll still fall flat on your face.
I don't have time to meddle in government affairs. It's not my place to meddle in government affairs. To be honest, if I hadn't felt something was wrong when I inquired about other things, I wouldn't have bothered with this!"
The deputy county magistrate immediately stood up and quickly chased after him. Song Yunqing also stood up, but he still asked, "What's going on?"
"Xiao Shen is using a trick and a routine, and his goal is to get the pre-sale money! Don't think about the rosy side of things. Just think about it, if he took away all the pre-sale money of the people, what will you face?"
Song Yunqing quickly ran out of the Zhou family yard. Director Zhang was determined to attract investment. If he really told Xiao Shen what Zhou Xiang said, if Xiao Shen was really investing, he would feel uneasy. If it was a fake investment, it would alert the enemy.
Zhou Xiang thought the matter was over and had nothing to do with her. However, after Song Yunqing and the deputy county magistrate left, Xiao Shen came to question Zhou Xiang, "Miss Zhou, I didn't expect you to be so insidious. How did I provoke you that you want to throw dirty water on me?"
The next person to come back was Director Zhang, followed by the deputy county magistrate and Song Yunqing.
