Chapter 477 Send a school to Nanli Town
I calmed down and said slowly, "I just asked Secretary Tian Dehan about the situation."
Lao Xiao said, "Ask him? He's in Dongli Town."
I said, "He worked in Nanli for five years before being transferred to Dongli."
Only then did Lao Xiao say "Oh".
After all, Mr. Chen was a man of great importance, so he kept his composure. A little dissatisfied with Lao Xiao's interruption, he said, "Listen to Shanhong first."
I continued, "Shangzhou's original intention was to develop eastward, but Nanli has always been a remote suburb, so development has been slow. Now, the government has adjusted its plans to develop southward, and Nanli Town has only just begun to gain attention."
That's why, Mr. Chen, you bought this piece of land in Nanli and planned to build a commercial city to drive real estate through trade.
But plans haven't changed quickly enough, and now the airport and high-speed rail station are moving further south. From that perspective, we miscalculated, didn't we?
Mr. Chen nodded.
I smiled and said, "Good and bad are interdependent. There is no absolute bad or absolute good in the world. In this case, let's give up the idea of a trade city."
Mr. Chen said, "Just develop real estate?"
I shook my head. "There's no advantage to simply developing properties. Some houses might not be sold."
"What should we do then?"
I said, "I heard from Tian Dehan that there is a very famous middle school in Nanli Town."
Old Xiao couldn't help but interrupt, "I understand this. Among the towns surrounding Shangzhou, Nanli's economy is the most backward, but its teaching quality is the best."
"That's exactly the situation. Tian Dehan was in charge of culture, education, and health in Nanli Town. He explained that the town's middle school was in very poor condition. The town had considered building a new school several times, but due to limited financial resources, they kept talking about it and never did anything."
Mr. Chen understood immediately and slammed his hand on the table. He said, "We need the town's support to move the middle school to our area and build the house into a school district."
Lao Xiao also reacted immediately: "This is a good idea."
I smiled and said, "It's a good idea indeed, but the town may not listen to Xu Ri, so, Mr. Chen, I have a suggestion for you."
"you say."
"Give it. Give a school to Nanli Town."
"Send?" Mr. Chen and Lao Xiao asked in unison.
"Yes, give it. If you give a school to Nanli Town and tell them where you want it built, they'll agree. And giving a school and helping them build the school building, 50 million is more than enough."
If a school is built on your land, the houses around you will all become school district housing. Should school district housing be priced higher?
If you add 1,000 yuan per square meter, you can earn enough money for 50,000 square meters. And you can build more than 50,000 square meters of houses on this piece of land, right?
Once you have a middle school, you can build a kindergarten, a supermarket, and develop some small shops. Kindergartens, supermarkets, and small shops can all be sold.”
Lao Xiao stared at me with admiration, his mouth wide open. Mr. Chen was a little excited, but he was much more composed than Lao Xiao, probably calculating the score in his mind.
I said, "That's totally possible. Let me tell you a story."
Mr. Chen picked up the teacup and put it down again, saying, "You talk."
"The United Nations was established just after World War II. It lacked funds and space. Countries were weakened by the war and in need of rebuilding. Donating money also had significant negative consequences. Should the country that donated the most have the power to dictate the UN's policies?
So the United Nations was very embarrassed. After the Rockefeller family learned the news, they decisively invested 8.7 million US dollars, bought a piece of land in New York, and gave it to the United Nations free of charge.
When this news spread, all the wealthy people laughed at the Rockefeller family, calling them extremely stupid. They gave away the land without receiving any return. $8.7 million was wasted, and within ten years, the family would be in decline.
When the United Nations agreed to the Rockefeller family's donation of land, the Rockefeller family immediately bought the surrounding land.
When the United Nations Building was built, the surrounding land prices rose rapidly, and the Rockefeller family earned profits equivalent to nearly 100 times their donations.
So, those who mocked Rockefeller were foolish. Now, you've bought the land and donated a school, and the quality of this school is the best in the surrounding towns. You've done a good deed and made a fortune at the same time."
Mr. Chen stood up excitedly and kept walking around the room. Suddenly he stopped, exhaled a few long breaths, and said to me:
"Shanhong, you always manage to turn things around. Why did you leave Xuri? Why? At the end of the year, the logistics department told me you had to return the house, and I burst into tears.
Why did you give up the house? Is this the only house I, Chen Yousheng, need? Shanhong, I don’t know how I feel sorry for you that you want to leave.
Lao Xiao and I were both surprised because Mr. Chen was indeed moved. Lao Xiao handed him a tissue.
Mr. Chen wiped his eyes and said, "Shanhong, you can't leave. If you leave, 1701 will remain as it is and not be used for other purposes. I won't accept the house back. Ask Lao Xiao if I did this."
"I, Chen Yousheng, have done some things poorly, indeed, but you will always be my brother. After you left, I was uneasy. Now that you've come here, the ideas you came up with today are so good, so good!"
I was also a little moved and explained, "Because I often don't go to work, I also have my own pursuits. You, Mr. Chen, can tolerate my name being on the list, but it affects the enthusiasm of others in the company."
Mr. Chen said, "Why would it affect his enthusiasm? He has your ability, but I don't want him to work either. His salary will be paid and his benefits will remain the same."
Lao Xiao advised from the side: "Mr. Chen, sit down, we are all brothers. Let's talk it over."
Mr. Chen sat down and said, "Shanhong, you really can't leave Xuri. You can not go to work, but you must go to Xuri to collect your salary.
Think about it for me. You don't get paid, and I'm going to bother you when I'm old. Once is fine, twice is fine, but if it's more than that, I have to save face too. How should I ask for it?
When you get paid, you have a responsibility, and I can consult you at any time. Do I need this little money? No, you don't need this little money, but this is a way for us to stay in touch.
Lao Xiao said, "Mr. Chen, now that we've brought this up, I'd like to offer some advice. You're a bit arbitrary when it comes to the company's major decisions. You listen to things that go your way, but you don't listen to things that don't. This is also why Shanhong keeps bringing up the reason why he's only a consultant."
Mr. Chen looked a little ashamed as he explained, "I had my own difficulties. At the time, the leader wanted me to support the development of Nanli. If I didn't, he would be unhappy and would have put obstacles in other ways. Of course, I'm not a tough guy. If I had resisted the pressure at the time, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."
I interrupted Mr. Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, the past cannot be retrieved, so let's not discuss it. Right now, we have contacted Nanli Town and offered to build them a middle school free of charge. Let's not talk about the real estate issue for now."
First, it shows that the company is powerful. Second, we need to build the school first, so that they can see our sincerity. Then we can expand it gradually, and other things will fall into place naturally.
Mr. Chen said, "Shanhong, it's up to you. Your monthly salary will continue to be paid, and you can rent or sell the house as you wish. I'll keep the office, and you can come whenever you want."
"Old Xiao, you should switch roles and take full responsibility for the Nanli project. Shiyu will be in charge of the Taiyi Mountain Scenic Area, and you'll need Shiyu to nominate someone to manage the Taiyi Temple. Either choose one from the existing staff or introduce one."
Lao Xiao said, "Okay."
I know Mr. Chen took my feelings into full consideration when making this move. Lao Xiao, needless to say, is both my friend and his friend. And Shiyu is my man, so this promotion was actually for my sake, since people like Chen Xiaoxia could easily be in charge of the scenic area.
Mr. Chen asked, "Shanhong, what's your opinion?"
I said, "I don't care about the money, but I am willing to serve Mr. Chen."
He said, "Shanhong, never mention the word 'money' again. We are brothers. Your master said it well, there are only three kinds of love in the world: family love, love, and friendship. You and I have two of them.
Come on, you've moved, let's go see them. We haven't seen our parents for a long time."
The car drove north.
