Fu Qing asked Li Xu to connect him with the president of Wuhan University, and then donated 8 million US dollars to build two teaching buildings.
The president of Wuhan University was not as generous as before and only gave him five university places.
Perhaps influenced by Li Xu, Fu Qing named the two teaching buildings after his parents.
After finishing the work, Li Xu and his team went straight to Beijing.
Fu Qing had known for a long time that Xu Xiangqian had been invited by the leader, so he was not too surprised. But it was different for his brother Fu Lin and those cousins. They were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
He still stayed in the same heavily guarded hotel as last time. The leader who came to receive him left a liaison with Xu Xiangqian and then left.
The liaison officer was Chen Huaiyi, an old acquaintance of Li Xu, Li Ping and Xu Xiangqian.
The last time the three of them came with the boat charter king, they were assigned an escort, and that person was Chen Huaiyi.
He made great efforts in purchasing the courtyard house.
When Li Xu and the other two left, they entrusted the courtyard house to him and asked him to take care of it.
Of course, the three of them also gave him a lot of benefits, not to mention money and miscellaneous items, they also gave him a courtyard house.
As soon as they saw him, Li Xu and the other two became happy and greeted him one after another.
Chen Huaiyi was even happier and responded one by one.
Last time, when he helped Li Xu and the other two to acquire the courtyard house, not only did he get a lot of benefits, but his family and friends did too. This made his status in the family reach the top and he was also in a central position in his circle of friends.
However, the good times did not last long, and before long his status in the circle of friends declined.
Because a friend helped his friends make more money.
He could understand his decline in status, but he found it hard to accept in his heart.
He tried to regain the central position in the circle of friends, but failed.
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly received good news that Xu Xiangqian was coming.
The higher-ups learned that it was him who accompanied Xu Xiangqian and his two companions last time, and that they got along quite well with each other, so they wanted him to serve as Xu Xiangqian's liaison.
The liaison officer here not only acts as a messenger between Xu Xiangqian and the leaders, but is also responsible for handling all matters concerning Xu Xiangqian and his party in Beijing.
To achieve this, you must have sufficient authority and enough people under you.
Moreover, given Xu Xiangqian's current status and importance, his liaison must reach a certain level to show respect for him.
The authority and manpower are easy to deal with, but Chen Huaiyi's level is not enough.
So after receiving Xu Xiangqian's reply a few years ago, Chen Huaiyi was promoted three levels in just one and a half months and became a section-level cadre.
With his level far higher than other friends, he successfully regained the central position in the circle of friends.
This made him very happy.
What made him even happier was that the arrival of Xu Xiangqian and others would likely bring him a lot of extra income.
Then Li Ping introduced Chen Huaiyi and Li Chen to each other.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, everyone started chatting. Seeing an opportunity, Chen Huaiyi quickly whispered to Li Ping, "Mr. Li, do you still want the courtyard?"
"Yes, I want as much as I can." Li Ping looked at him with amusement, "Xiao Chen, these are all family members. There's no need to hide what you say."
Chen Huaiyi had lowered his voice to avoid Fu Qing and his cousin, but now that he heard Li Ping say this, he stopped lowering his voice. "I heard there are some courtyard houses for sale, and there are a few large three-story courtyard houses. When you're done, I'll take you to see them."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. Li Ping hesitated and asked, "Xiao Chen, when did you find out?"
He originally thought that Chen Huaiyi wanted to get his answer before asking someone else, but he never expected that he had already found out.
"After receiving the news that you were coming before the New Year, I started asking people to find out."
Li Ping asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that we won't want it?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want it. It doesn't take much effort anyway." Chen Huaiyi grinned.
Li Ping patted his shoulder and praised him sincerely, "That's thoughtful."
At this time, Fu Qing interrupted, "Brother Ping, you want to buy a house here? And what do you mean by three entrances and four courtyards?"
He didn't know that the Li family had already bought a house here, and he didn't know that Li Ju's dowry included a Beijing courtyard house.
Li Ping gave a brief explanation, and after listening, Fu Qing smacked his lips and said, "What you said makes me want to buy a few courtyard houses and put them there."
"How about we give you a few sets?"
"Forget it. I feel embarrassed to steal your things." Fu Qing quickly refused.
Li Xu laughed and joked, "It's rare that you still feel embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Fu Qing didn't care and asked Chen Huaiyi directly, "Xiao Chen, can you arrange for someone to take us out for a walk tomorrow?"
The Li brothers had to accompany Xu Xiangqian to meet with senior executives, but Fu Qing and the others had nothing to do, so he planned to take people out to look for housing himself.
"Of course." Chen Huaiyi agreed without thinking.
Li Xu asked, "Xiao Chen, has the price of the Siheyuan increased?"
"It has increased. The price is roughly four times what it was before."
"Four times?" Li Xu was stunned. "Why is it so much higher?"
"What I said is not enough. The housing price has tripled, but if you want to get a house, you have to spend twice as much." Chen Huaiyi explained,
"Speaking of which, this matter is related to you guys. Not long after you left, the news that the Housing Authority had issued you property ownership certificates spread. Those who wanted to sell their houses but couldn't, and those who wanted to buy houses but couldn't, heard the news and ran to the Housing Authority to block the door, demanding an explanation from the bureau leaders.
The bureau leaders were worried about the situation getting out of hand, so they agreed to relax the transaction restrictions, but with one condition: the transaction fee would be equal to the purchase price. "Prices were previously low mainly because it was difficult to obtain property ownership certificates. Now that they can, prices have naturally gone up."
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
Although this incident was caused by them, we have to say that the people in the Housing Authority are really brave. They actually dared to do this in the capital. They are really not afraid of death at all.
Thinking of this, Li Xu's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. "Do the leaders of the Housing Authority not want to make a big fuss, or do they hope to make it as big as possible?"
He didn't believe that such a big thing would happen without the leaders above hearing a word of it.
Chen Huaiyi understood what he meant and said helplessly, "They really have no other choice. Think about it, who would dare to go to the Housing Authority and block the door? If they suppress the matter, they can still hold on for a few years. When the day comes to decide the winner, if the incident becomes a big deal, they might have to step down then."
