Chapter 360 Time Flies 3
Wangou Village.
On the riverside.
Zhao Youfu came here.
"I knew you were here, brother."
After graduation, Zhao Youfu was assigned to work in Pingyang City. He has worked in the Pingyang Cigarette Factory for several years and is now the deputy director.
"What's the matter that makes you, a factory manager, come to see me in person?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Youfu in confusion. Zhao Youfu was very busy with work and usually had no time to visit Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi would only visit him in person when he returned to the city.
"Brother, our city is planning to build a retirement home for senior cadres, and we would like to invite a senior cadre to come and live here. You know we can't say much to Mr. Tang, so we would like to ask you to help as a lobbyist.
Others may not agree if they go to Mr. Tang, but he should agree if you go to him. ”
Zhao Youfu said somewhat helplessly that Pingyang City was preparing to build a retirement home and needed important leaders to come here to retire and enjoy their old age.
But at present, the cadres in Pingyang City are not familiar with the old cadres.
"It's definitely not that simple for you to come to me. Tell me what else you want to say."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"I can't hide anything from you, big brother. This time the construction of the retirement home is quite large. Didn't Xiaopeng open a Shengding Construction Company? We plan to hand this project over to Xiaopeng."
The Xiaopeng that Zhao Youfu mentioned is naturally Zhao Yi’s son.
This kid didn't care much about the garment factory. He thought that the garment factory was set up by Zhao Yi and he was just taking advantage of it. So he set up a construction company, hoping to create a business of his own without leaving his father's shadow.
Now we have also received one or two small projects in Pingyang City, and the completion has been quite good.
“Maybe this retirement home isn’t that simple.”
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Youfu and asked.
"Of course. This retirement home is going to be built in cooperation with Rongcheng. We are in contact with Rongcheng. It will be built at the junction of Pingyang City and Rongcheng. Medical facilities, activity centers, and recreational parks are all part of this construction project. There are also transportation facilities and everything else."
Zhao Youfu looked at Zhao Yi and said.
As long as this matter is handled well, the leaders will naturally give Zhao Youfu more responsibilities. He is also one of the persons in charge of this project.
"I knew you had bad intentions."
Zhao Yi joked.
If Zhao Yi wants to contact Rongcheng, he has to find Bai Feng or Zheng Hongtao and ask them to find a way to promote this matter. Zhao Youfu said that the contact must not be smooth. If it was smooth, the project would have been finalized long ago.
However, in order for his son to take on such a project and to provide some experience and connections to the construction company, Zhao Yi decided to make the trip.
"Brother Yi."
Zheng Hongtao also drove a black car to Wangou Village and found the place where Zhao Yi often fished.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youfu was there too.
Zheng Hongtao has already operated clothing stores in most of the urban markets in the province. Now he plans to build shopping malls, one in each city, in a similar format to the one Su Hong and his team built.
In the past, he had not considered this aspect due to lack of funds, but now that the time is ripe, he naturally wants to run a business. He often talks with Zhao Xuanxuan on the phone and knows that the mall business is good. He has also learned some management experience.
"Hong Tao is here. I was just looking for you to discuss something. I didn't expect you to come in person."
Zheng Hongtao established the Shengding Garment Factory Management Company in Rongcheng, which is the headquarters of the entire province. He rarely comes to Shanyang County in person.
"Brother Yi, you speak first."
Zheng Hongtao came here this time intending to help Zhao Peng. Since Zhao Peng has set up a construction company, he believes that the construction machinery should be very complete. With Zhao Yi's help in contacting the machinery and equipment, it should be no worse than those companies that have just started.
Zhao Peng felt at ease in handing over the construction of the shopping mall, which also helped Zhao Peng stabilize his path in the construction industry.
"It's like this. Pingyang City is planning to cooperate with Rongcheng to build a retirement home. This is the plan Youfu brought over. They are planning to hand this project over to Zhao Peng to run. Rongcheng seems unwilling to cooperate with Pingyang City.
After all, the leaders in Rongcheng are quite familiar with Mr. Tang and Mr. Zheng, so it would be easy to persuade the two old men to come back here to retire.
And you also know what the situation is in Pingyang City. ”
Zhao Yi looked at Zheng Hongtao and said.
Zheng Hongtao immediately understood that Pingyang City wanted this political achievement, but it had no one to ask the two old men, so he thought of Zhao Yi and wanted Zhao Yi to help negotiate the project. In exchange, he wanted Zhao Yi to be a lobbyist.
The Zheng family has a close relationship with Zhao Yi, and the same is true for the Tang family. Moreover, the two old men do plan to return to their hometown to retire.
They are just afraid that Rongcheng will get ahead of them. They really don’t have enough power to accomplish this task, and Pingyang City cannot compete with Rongcheng.
Zheng Hongtao looked at the plan and design drawings carefully. This location was very well chosen.
There is a village called Hujia Village at the junction of Rongcheng and Pingyang. The people here are very long-lived, and the above investigation has been very thorough. It seems that Pingyang City had this plan a year ago.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a door-to-door survey. The average life expectancy here is over 80 years old, and there are quite a few people who live to be over 90. There are also more than a dozen people who live to be over 100. This plan will be easily approved when it is submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission. I think the resistance comes from Rongcheng. Rongcheng must want to build this retirement home by itself.
"I'll go back and discuss this with my family, and I'll also call Tang Wenjie to tell him. Ask the construction company to come up with the design drawings as soon as possible, so I can take the plans to report to the old man."
The old man in the family had been taken to Kyoto for recuperation a long time ago, but the winter in the north is really hard to bear. Even if the facilities are complete, people will miss their hometown once they reach a certain age and retire.
With the planning map and the personal invitation from provincial officials, these veteran cadres will definitely come back to retire.
Hearing Zheng Hongtao say this, Zhao Youfu felt relieved. With this person speaking out, he believed Rongcheng would give in.
"By the way, what brings you here in person?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zheng Hongtao and asked.
"I want to build three shopping malls in Gaoxin City, Rongcheng City, and Pingyang City. I came here this time just to talk to Zhao Peng in person and come to see you."
Zheng Hongtao smiled, then handed a bottle of wine to Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi knew at first glance that this wine was extraordinary and had never been seen on the market.
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten by the old man's cane?"
Zhao Yi joked.
"The doctor told me not to drink alcohol, so I'm helping him relieve stress."
Zheng Hongtao smiled.
"I don't care about that. Just don't ask me to take over if something goes wrong."
"Can I betray the organization?"
Zheng Hongtao smiled awkwardly.
"I just don't trust you."
Zhao Yi laughed. Zheng Hongtao often gave away cigarettes or alcohol. Once the old man found out, he would say that he had given them to himself. Zhao Yi went to visit him, and the old man asked Zhao Yi to take a few more boxes if he really liked them.
