Chapter 39: The old man is just tough-talking
Coming out of the conference room, Mayor Ziv took FyrenZhang's hand and was overflowing with excitement.
"Fyren ah, thanks to you today! Letting this old face of mine be considered saved, so that I have an explanation with the province, with my colleagues, and with the folks of Syracuse."
"Oh, no, nothing."
FyrenZhang's brain wasn't enough, still wondering what the hell was going on today.
Mayor Ziv could also see that FyrenZhang was a bit duplicitous, and didn't chat much.
He just came closer to him, "This year's honor is bound to be yours, so get ready. The drawings I will let the higher-ups approve as soon as possible, very, very soon. Also, what do you need you just tell me, we will set up a special shantytown working group, specifically to cooperate with your Dasheng Group's work. I assure you, on the side of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, all the work of the Dasheng Group, all the way to the green light! We will escort you."
"Thank you, thank you Mayor Ziv, Secretary Winnie."
Secretary Winnie smiled and said, "Fyren, our Mayor Ziv is thanking you from the bottom of his heart, come over here more often in the future to run around and talk to the leaders."
"Yes yes yes, definitely."
FyrenZhang walked out of the building in a daze, Zaring pulled open the car door, FyrenZhang stood in the doorway, looked back at the towering municipal government building, and felt as if he had dreamed a dream.
...
The final investment landscape:
Zhang's family injected fifty billion dollars; Xu's family injected twenty billion dollars; Chen's family injected twelve billion dollars; Leng's family injected forty-nine billion dollars.
Total: 86.9 billion.
Also: Hogan donated thirty million dollars in the name of the group for the construction of public restrooms for all the squatters.
Sure enough it was fast, so fast that FyrenZhang couldn't believe it, and that afternoon, the province approved it.
As soon as I heard that this side of the shantytown someone to take over, the four big families together, funded more than eighty billion, the provincial leadership then put down all the work, immediately called the relevant personnel to start discussions.
The drawings were approved not to mention, but also sent a professional guidance team to discuss and finalize the specifics.
...
Golf Course.
HongZhang, EltonLeng, ZhiXu and BinChen were playing golf.
HongZhang swung and hit a good shot, complacent.
"It's been a while since a few of us got together like this, right?"
EltonLeng stood to the side wearing gloves and organizing his clubs, "Cut the crap, aren't we all here to hide from the rest of the world."
ZhiXu laughed: "It can't be helped, Mayor Ziv is looking for someone to take over that messy old city renovation project, so it's a good idea to hide for a while!"
BinChen smiled and said, "Hong, that kid of yours can do it recently, I heard that he has acquired a high-tech company without moving, this kid dares to do anything. High-tech, does he understand?"
HongZhang's face was displeased.
The rest of the three families are all ancestral legacy industries, in other words, is on the ancestor is rich people.
Only HongZhang, who started from nothing on his own.
He also started his own business in his twenties, and in his thirties, he made the Dasheng Group one of the first-class enterprises in Syracuse, and in his forties, the Dasheng Group was already a behemoth in the entire Northern Kingdom.
Unfortunately, when he was in his fifties, he fell seriously ill.
Otherwise, he really didn't feel comfortable handing over his business to FyrenZhang to take care of.
But it is strange to say, FyrenZhang is uneducated, but business is a good hand, basically do not suffer losses, net advantage.
These two have a lot of money, but not much culture.
This also makes the remaining three families have been openly and secretly ridiculed and sarcastic.
They were aristocrats and had been rich for several generations, while they were from mud legged backgrounds, which they couldn't look down on.
HongZhang grunted, "What the hell is high tech, aren't all high end businesses done by people? Wouldn't the king and his vassals rather have seeds? Sooner or later, one day, my son will buy back all the businesses of that bunch of drunken fools who think they are noble."
The remaining three exchanged glances, and there were a few moments of disdain in their hearts.
What about money, you have it, but culture is your shortcoming.
The most important thing is the pedigree! We are all nobles, if you are even richer, we see you as a thug.
Hmph!
BinChen said: "Other than that, the shantytown kind of business resolutely can not touch, who touches who die. Your little pawns have to have a number in their hearts!"
ZhiXu said: "That goes without saying? You guys still send the president to the meeting, our family goes to my youngest daughter, the vice president, hey. mayor Ziv must understand what I mean."
EltonLeng hit a shot and glumly cursed, "Stinking ball!"
Then tossed the club to the caddie, "I did hear from Fyren that he's going to take the program."
"Him?" HongZhang laughed, "My son, I know him well, he's smarter than a monkey, he won't get involved in this kind of bad luck."
At this moment, OttoLong walked over from the distance, followed by Sherry who was wearing sportswear.
EltonLeng smiled, "Introducing you to a handsome young man, OttoLong. returned from the frontier, very tactful."
OttoLong smiled, "Latecomer has met the heads of the four major families of Syracuse."
HongZhang glanced at him, "Isn't this the kid who picked a fight at my house the other day, EltonLeng, why did you even get him around?"
EltonLeng smiled, "I need a piece of land recently, he helped me a lot, he's a talented person."
HongZhang grunted, "If you don't go to your aunt for something, what are you doing looking for an outsider?"
"My aunt?" EltonLeng wiped his cue, "Can I count on that? He's a dime a dozen, I'm now wondering if my own daughter even wants to get engaged."
HongZhang was disgruntled, "Elton, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
EltonLeng laughed and said, "Whoever can get me that piece of land, my daughter will be engaged to, that's what I mean! Your son is so wild that he doesn't give me face at all."
HongZhang held his fire in his heart and cursed his son for not being competitive.
"I'll worry about his affairs, I'll go back and talk to him."
OttoLong smiled at this time, "There's news. Well, it's a surprise."
"What news?"
HongZhang didn't take it seriously and was about to swing.
OttoLong smiled and said, "FyrenZhangFyren, announced at the meeting that he injected fifty billion dollars to invest in the development and construction of shantytowns."
HongZhang threw out a shot and fell straight to the ground.
The three old men went over to help him, each gloating, barely able to hide the smiles on their faces.
ZhiXu laughed and said, "Hong, what's so exciting about this? Your son is ambitious, he must have found a business opportunity before investing! Haha, but fifty billion dollars, tsk tsk tsk, it's really a big deal, I hope you guys can get your money back, I hope, hahaha!"
BinChen also said, "That's right, in fact, even if you lose money, it's okay, anyway, you Zhang family has money, 50 billion as no such thing, broken money to avoid disaster! Syracuse people will be grateful to you two wronged fathers and sons!"
HongZhang covered his back and said angrily, "Go to the side! You one and all just know how to drop stones."
The two old men laughed, while EltonLeng coldly said, "OK, this kid is not without money, he doesn't see me, there are 50 billion dollars to work for the government, I want to fix a piece of land but he pushes it back, humph."
HongZhang grimaced in pain, "Elton, there must be a problem with this matter, wait for me to go back and ask him, then give you an answer."
"There's no need to ask, he doesn't look down on me as his prospective father-in-law." EltonLeng sneered, "The Zhang family's qi is afraid to be exhausted. Shantytown renovation? Hmph, he really dares to do it. Usually looking so refined, at the critical moment being scared and obediently shelling out money, what eloquence, I think it's just a straw man."
HongZhang gritted his teeth, "What are you babbling about!?"
EltonLeng said, "Without you Zhang family, I'll take that land all by myself just the same!!! Otto!"
"Yes, Mr. Leng."
OttoLong said, "I've already spoken to the people at the sales office, that land can be taken for just 1.9 billion dollars and is approved for commercial use. Congratulations Mr. Leng, relying on this prime piece of land, the Leng family will definitely make a lot of money in the next few years."
EltonLeng looked at HongZhang, "Hear that? Without the Zhang family, the Leng family will still be able to show off their strength again! My Eliza is the one who is majestic. Your son is shelling out money to the government to fight for water, but my daughter is not idle for a minute, concentrating on the big things! What's the point of having a son? It's not as good as one of my daughter's toes."
HongZhang is in a lot of pain, secondly, by EltonLeng angry a bit of gas not enough to use.
Besides, the news has arrived, the facts speak louder than words, he has nothing to say for a while.
At this time OttoLong received another message and was outright shocked.
"What's wrong?" EltonLeng walked over and started penciling in a hit.
"Eli...Eliza her... announced an investment of four hundred and ninety-nine million dollars, injecting capital to join the shantytown renovation program."
EltonLeng and just HongZhang's movements were the same, both heard the program in the moment when they were about to strike.
Yes, even the movement of falling out was exactly the same.
ZhiXu and BinChen helped him sit next to HongZhang again, and the two of them held in their laughter until their faces were about to explode.
EltonLeng cold sweat hit his back, "What was Eliza thinking!?"
OttoLong sighed, "It must have been instigated by FyrenZhang."
EltonLeng endured the pain, "HongZhang, did you know all about it?"
HongZhang looked at him, "Look at my fucking waist! I knew I could fall like this!
EltonLeng thought about it, he was also caught off guard by the news, this kind of thing doesn't need to be played out to such an extent ah.
Both old men extinguished their fires, their hearts clogged at this point.
ZhiXu and BinChen were ridiculously bad.
These two guys, one is a tycoon, bumpkin, and is accustomed to riding roughshod over people based on their money.
One is the grasshopper after the fall, has no days to jump head, still always pretending to be equal to their attitude.
Well, now that you two are brothers, you want to marry each other?
It's a good idea! Haha, the two of them are spoiling your money together, just ask you if you're happy? Surprised?
The caddie set up the ball, BinChen held the club, laughing: "The weather is really nice! Hey, I don't know why, you guys, why am I in such a good mood today?"
ZhiXu laughed loudly, "That's natural, FyrenZhang is ambitious and talented, ElizaLeng is the pride of a generation, the two of them are husband and wife, let people envy, let people envy ah!"
The two old men were laughing, the other two old men covered their backsides with the same movement, half dead with anger.
BinChen began to prepare to play, while gesticulating back and forth, while saying, "This golf ah, is an aristocratic sport, not the average bumpkin, and the soon-to-be-disappointed rags-to-riches family to play. If you don't play well, it's easy to flash your back!"
At this time OttoLong received another message and gave EltonLeng a look.
EltonLeng was being disliked by Bin and Zhi, the two ingrates, and was obviously putting himself and HongZhang together as the object of ridicule, and was being half furious.
Seeing this message, he gently pressed OttoLong's wrist and whispered through gritted teeth, "Tell him when he swings."
