"I'll call your sister-in-law and ask her to buy some cooked food on the way back. It just so happens that you have nothing to do in the afternoon and you are back in Jichun. Let's have a drink together at noon."
"No, I'll go up and say a few words to you and then leave. Mom is still waiting for me to go back and make fried noodles for her."
"This old lady is like a child. Every time you come back, you have to eat fried noodles."
"Old kid, old kid, the older you get, the more you look like a kid."
"..."
Listening to the closer and closer conversations in the corridor, Zhou Rong panicked. She didn't want to meet Zhou Bingkun here. After thinking about it again and again, she saw the door to the study room was open, so she quickly walked in and closed the door. Lie in bed and pretend to rest.
Click~
With a crisp sound, the door opened, and then there were clear footsteps.
"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Zhou Bingyi's voice said.
"Don't bother, I'll leave in a moment." Zhou Bingkun's voice said.
"Okay, when you come back this time, when do you plan to leave?"
"We have to stay for a few days and see if we can negotiate the demolition of the photograms as soon as possible."
Zhou Rong was shocked when she heard that the optical film was going to be demolished? Although she has left Guangzipi, and her employer has also allocated her a house. That old, shabby and dirty place has nothing to do with her, but she grew up in Guangzipi anyway, and now she heard that it is going to be demolished. , naturally there will be ideas.
"Does mom know?"
"I know, Zheng Juan told her."
"Aren't you happy?"
"Well, I'm still thinking of going back and staying there for two more days, otherwise I won't have the chance in the future."
"This old lady... I remember, when my father was still alive, her biggest wish was to see that optical prints could be greatly changed, so that young and old men no longer have to live in dark, cramped slums that turn into quagmire when it rains. Now... , the demolition and reconstruction plan has come down, but it’s a pity that he can’t see it anymore.”
"You have been thinking about this for a long time. The first thing you do when you become the mayor is to renovate those old cities. Think about it. In Hayang, you are the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction. He has urban construction experience. Now, It can be considered as giving full play to your strengths.”
"Look what you said, haven't you been doing this demolition work for several years? Think about this old man, hey, he was fighting with you every day, whenever we met, and everyone disliked you, but why? You, the youngest son who has never seen anything in his eyes... and is the most disobedient, have been fulfilling his wishes."
"Don't compliment me, I have selfish motives in this matter."
"It's normal. You are a businessman. As the old saying goes, no one is perfect in his heart but in his deeds. By the way, the 'Tangcheng' that won the demolition project this time is also yours, right? Look at the double act between it and Jicheng …”
"Oh, your vision is fine."
"Brother, I have been working within the system for decades, so I still have some discernment."
"Now that you have seen it, do you want to report it to the higher authorities for further discussion? After all, I am your brother. If anyone finds out, it will not be nice to tell anyone."
"I didn't think too much about it. Tangcheng has good qualifications and a good reputation. It is the leading real estate company in the city and has fewer interest propositions than other real estate companies. I have read the plan. It is not a loss and a profit, but it is definitely nothing. It's a good deal, so what if others find out about it, I, Zhou Bingyi, did it with integrity and a clear conscience."
"This is a high level of awareness, but have you ever thought about it. Tangcheng does not earn much from being responsible for resettlement and development. However, if you include the real estate owned by the pawn shop and compare the house prices seven or eight years ago, if the price difference is included, the profit is still very high. Considerable.”
"When you do business, as long as you are honest and comply with laws and regulations, then don't care what others think. I will be 56 years old soon and will retire in two years. Now I just want to do something practical for the people of Jichun. Who wants to talk? Just say whatever you want."
"Okay, as long as you have this awareness, it's getting late, I'm leaving."
"Then you go back and tell mom that if there is no socializing in the evening, I will take Dongmei to Yayuan Community for dinner."
"good."
Click~The door opened again.
"By the way, Bingkun, Zhou Rong's side..."
"Don't mention her to me."
"Oh! You drive slower on the road."
Thump thump thump thump thump…
Then there was a sound of coming down the stairs.
Zhou Bingyi went into the kitchen after seeing his brother off. He felt like he was going to boil water. Zhou Rong wanted to get up and go out, but felt a little inappropriate. Wouldn't this mean that she was deliberately eavesdropping on the conversation between the two brothers? She didn't go out... and she was worried. Zhou Bingyi opened the door and came in.
Just when she was in a dilemma, Hao Dongmei came back from outside.
"Bingyi, Bingyi."
"Hey, why did you come back so early today?"
Hao Dongmei did not answer his question: "I met Bingkun downstairs."
"Oh, he went to the city to do errands and met me at work. After he was done, he drove me home and then went upstairs to chat for a while."
"Then why didn't you keep him at home for dinner?"
"I'm not mom yet. I miss her little son's noodles. As you know, this is what the old lady likes."
"Yes, by the way, where is Zhou Rong?"
"Zhou Rong?"
"Didn't you see her when you came up?"
"No, no one was home when I came up."
"That's not right. I came back with Zhou Rong. I said you were hungry for dumplings. I planned to make dumplings for you and went to the market to buy vegetables. I asked her to sit at home and wait for you. Why did she suddenly disappear?"
Hao Dongmei searched the house while talking. Zhou Rong heard the footsteps approaching quickly and quickly turned her face inside, pretending to be sleeping.
"Zhou Rong? What's wrong with you?"
"Uh...huh?"
Zhou Rong pretended to have just woken up and looked at Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi who came in from outside: "Sister-in-law, brother? I... I felt a little dizzy after you left, so I just wanted to lie down and rest for a while. I... fell asleep How long?"
The two felt relieved upon hearing this.
"Zhou Rong, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you still dizzy?"
"No...it's okay. Maybe I slept too late last night."
Zhou Rong got up from the bed as she spoke: "Since eldest brother is back, let's go make dumplings."
Hao Dongmei didn't think much and walked outside as instructed. Even if Zhou Bingyi had doubts, he would not say anything to embarrass Zhou Rong at this time.
There is nothing to say about what happened next. The three of them made dumplings and ate together. When Zhou Bingyi asked about Cai Xiaoguang's situation, she told him the purpose of coming to him this time and asked him to help arrange a meeting between Yan Xin and Zhou Bingkun.
Hao Dongmei thought it was not a big deal, so she agreed at that time.
Zhou Bingyi was much more stable and said that he would explore Zhou Bingkun's tone. Even if the two brothers live in the south and the other in the north, and there is not much overlap in work and life, after experiencing many conflicts, he also understood that this younger brother is a A master who doesn't rub his eyes with dirt will definitely be retaliated against if he does something behind his back, so this thing seems easy, but in fact it's very deceiving.
…
A week later, Zhou Rong received a reply from Zhou Bingyi, saying that he could not help with the matter. Zhou Bingkun said that he did not want to meet Chairman Yan, and was too lazy to touch the dirty things in the entertainment industry, let alone deal with them.
That's what he said, but the tone of his voice made it clear that he told Zhou Bingkun the truth.
Zhou Rong was very angry, thinking that what Zhou Bingyi did was very bad. He could just say that Yan Xin was his friend without telling Zhou Bingkun, and it was enough to sit down and have a meal together. He had to tell the truth. Even if he thought about it, he knew that Zhou Bingkun was not a bastard. Will agree.
The boss made things dirty, and even alerted the snake, so that the third child was mentally prepared. Now she had no choice but to go to Li Suhua. As a result, the old lady's reaction made her have the urge to yell. Look at this What the mother said------I don't care about their affairs, and I can't control them. She also told her not to go to Yayuan Community for such troublesome things in the future. If she knew less, she could live for two more years, and maybe she could still hug her. Cherish your grandson and great-grandson.
Zhou Rong couldn't understand. The key to things turning like this was Yue Yue. It was obviously Zhou Bingkun who failed to educate his children well. If he had cultivated a grateful heart in Yue Yue and not been so selfish... the old lady Why is she preferring her younger son just because Zheng Juan is taking care of her?
You motherfucker can't be unreasonable.
…
Three months later.
Not long after the Spring Festival in 2003, a notice was posted on the wall of the big alley in the middle of the photo. The content was about the details of the renovation of the old city. Many left-behind elderly people couldn't understand it, so they called the young people at home. Ask them to come back and see what is written on it and what the district means.
Qiao Chunyan was someone who had made small calculations in her heart very early. As soon as the announcement came out, she led Cao Debao towards the alley. An old man who knew her asked her what was written on it.
"The announcement stated that the demolition compensation plan is based on the area of the house, with supplementary consideration of family size."
The old lady didn't understand: "Chun Yan'er, can you elaborate a little bit?"
Qiao Chunyan could only patiently continue to explain to the illiterate old lady: "What the announcement means is that the district has formulated a set of standards based on the living conditions of the residents in Guangzhou. The current per capita housing area of the family exceeds 20 For square meters, compensation will be calculated based on the actual area. For yards, the ratio is two to one, that is, a ten-square-meter yard can make up for five square meters of housing. If the per capita housing area is less than 20 square meters, the district will subsidize up to 20 square meters per capita. square meters.”
The old lady asked again: "What is the per capita housing area? What is the square meter? Is it larger than one foot square?"
Qiao Chunyan was helpless and simply hid away. He felt that the reason why some old people did not leave the photo album might be because they were confused about the terms in the pawn shop agreement. They were afraid that they would be deceived by Zhou Bingkun and become a building dweller. No, she was an urban homeless person who couldn't come back without a piece of paper. Of course, this was just her guess.
"Chun Yan'er, Spring Yan'er." Cao Debao came over with a more detailed copy of the document: "I would say that the residents who opened a pawn shop in Zhou Bingkun and lent money to the photograms were weasels giving New Year greetings to the chickens. Look at what is written on it. "Those who still live in the Guangzi District, and the per capita area is less than 20 square meters, will be subsidized to 20 square meters according to the plan. If the neighbors who have moved out see it, I am sure they will regret it."
Eight years ago, the housing conditions were so poor. Take the old Zhou family as an example. Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan, and Zhou Congcong lived in two rooms, which was more than 40 square meters, plus the space for storing sundries. The two huts are only in their early fifties. The yard is considered to be 30 square meters. According to the two-for-one subsidy standard, it can replace a building of about 70 square meters. Now, the demolition plan given by the district is less than 100 square meters per capita. If the supply of twenty square meters is twenty square meters, the five people will have one hundred square meters, which is twenty or thirty square meters more.
You must know that the housing conditions of Lao Zhou's family in Guangzipi are still good. In the past, it was very common for Xiao Guoqing's family to have eight people squeezed into two rooms in Guangzipi.
"You're wrong to calculate this. It depends on the household registration. How many family members are under the name of the head of the household in this house, and there are many families where the elderly are missing, and the one who is not compensated will not be compensated."
"Anyway, don't you think those who took the money to buy houses in the city have lost money?"
Qiao Chunyan thought for a while and nodded: "It's a loss."
"So you see, did Zhou Bingkun deceive everyone? Those who borrowed Zhou Bingkun's money to buy a house will no longer be the people who bought the house once their old house was mortgaged or moved, so there will be no compensation for the demolition this time. It’s their share. It’s amazing. It’s amazing. In terms of his business acumen and his vision for the future, all of us at Quanguang Diaphragm combined can’t beat him. I think back then, your parents said no, but you weren’t happy. , saying that it would be foolish not to take advantage of the ready-made advantages. Now is it your turn to be foolish?"
Qian Chunyan ignored him and lowered her head to calculate a math problem. There are now seven family members in Lao Qiao's family with household registration in Guangzipian. The above are the old couple, her, Cao Debao, Cao Yuanfang, the second eldest son and the eldest son. In order to avoid the district's real estate inspection finding that she and Cao Debao had a commercial house that they had not transferred their household registrations to, and something went wrong when dividing the house, the best way was to transfer the ownership to her son. In this way, she and Cao Debao would become Households without a house can receive a compensation of 40 square meters. Including the compensation from parents, second sister, and niece, the total is 120 square meters. If you add some money, you should be able to get two two-bedroom apartments.
"Daughter-in-law Daxiong, how about you come back and read the announcement? Can this account be settled? I have told you before, Zhou Bingkun is so smart, how could he do a loss-making business? Now you understand, he has deceived you all. Wow, look at the house prices that have increased more than doubled in the past few years, this guy really knows how to do business."
"Cao Debao, what are you talking about? You borrowed money from a pawn shop to buy a house. Now if you resell it, can you make twice as much money?"
"Uncle Sun, you don't understand this. House prices have gone up, but the exchange rate has dropped. Do you know the exchange rate? It's the ratio of RMB to the U.S. dollar. He is a big businessman. As long as he exchanges the RMB in his hand, there will be no difference in the middle. Have you made more than double the price difference? Buying houses, land and stocks in foreign countries makes you rich."
"Cao Debao, you didn't watch the international news in vain."
"That's not a bad thing. This guy will regress if he doesn't learn. He's swimming against the current, do you understand?"
"Then what's the use of knowing so much? How can you help Zhou Bingkun settle accounts every day?"
Hahaha~
There was a roar of laughter in front of the bulletin board.
"I...I'm going to do international trade, okay?"
"You're the only one who wants to do international trade? You're not afraid of losing your money."
"Cui Xia, you should worry about your own affairs first. The house has been transferred to the pawn shop. If you can't come back, just stare at the house being divided."
Cao Debao was sneering at those who thought they had taken advantage of Zhou Bingkun. Unexpectedly, he grabbed his ear with a hand. He turned around and saw Qiao Chunyan. He felt very humiliated and got angry: "What are you doing, let go."
"Hindsight, hindsight every day is of no use, so hurry up and leave."
"What are you going to do?"
Qiao Chunyan came close to him and whispered: "If you don't hurry up and transfer the property before everyone has thought about it, if those people like Da Xiong and Er Xiong come back and make a fuss, it will be too late to give the house to Niu Niu."
Cao Debao was able to seize the VCD business opportunity and earn a house, and his brain was naturally brighter than the average person. Of course he could think of what Qiao Chunyan could think of, but his thoughts were all on Zhou Bingkun, so it was difficult to find someone who would throw dirty water on others. Opportunity, why don't you try your best to blackmail Zhou Bingkun in front of the neighbors?
The two of them didn't explain, they just smiled at Big Bear's wife, Old Uncle Sun and others, and then trotted back to Old Qiao's house.
Others couldn't figure out the stakes for a while, and they gathered around the bulletin board to discuss the pros and cons.
…
Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan immediately handled the transfer procedures for Cao Yuanfang. In order to deal with the door-to-door visitors sent by the district, they built a small shabby room of less than 6 square meters in the corner of the land behind Lao Qiao's house. The house could only fit a double bed and a small cupboard. The two of them were not too crowded for the house. They watched over their parents in the front during the day, acting like a filial daughter and son-in-law, and went to sleep in the back at night.
As more and more details of the demolition were revealed, the neighbors who had moved out of Guangzipian early felt that they had been deceived and regretted that they could only buy a commercial house with the same size as the old house with the money borrowed from the pawn shop. , no matter how old you are, you will need more money or a loan. If you are not blinded by the immediate benefits and continue to live in the Guangzi District, according to the compensation standard of 20 square meters per person set by the district, the resettlement house will definitely be much larger than the house you live in now. .
Two months after the announcement was posted.
Zhou Bingyi had just finished a meeting and was sitting on a chair in the office with his eyes closed. At this time, secretary Xiao Wang opened the door and hurried to the desk: "Mayor Zhou, something happened to the photogram."
"Something happened? What happened?"
Zhou Bingyi quickly sat upright and stared at Xiao Wang.
"The staff sent by the district to connect with the residents were surrounded. District Mayor Lang also went there, but they didn't listen to her explanation and insisted on seeing you, and... I don't know where they heard the news. ……explain……"
"say what?"
"They said that you and Mr. Shencheng Zhou had discussed the matter of the optical character film. The younger brother hoarded the land and the elder brother planned it, in order to turn the optical character film into the Zhou family's."
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Bingyi was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up. He had long expected that such rumors would appear, but he didn't expect that the people in the optical film would also believe it. Sometimes, this person would only believe information that is beneficial to him and hold him in his arms. There is a sense of luck.
"They don't even think about it, does Zhou Bingkun need to make money by this method?"
After saying this, he took off the clothes hanging on the rack and walked out without waiting for Xiao Wang's answer: "Get rid of the calligraphy tablets."
"OK."
Xiao Wang had long been accustomed to Zhou Bingyi's vigorous and resolute attitude, so he picked up the briefcase containing the demolition planning documents and quickly caught up with him.
On the way to Guangzipian, Zhou Bingyi received another news. Not only did the residents of Guangzipian surround the district staff, but there were also people making trouble in the pawn shop where Zhou Bingkun borrowed money. Some people mortgaged their houses. The people who gave it to the pawn shop asked the pawn shop to return the house to them, and said that Zhou Bingkun was a liar who specializes in defrauding fellow villagers.
Zhou Bingyi frowned deeply, his face was quite gloomy, and he looked at the retreating scenery outside the window without saying a word.
When the car arrived at its destination, three police cars happened to arrive. He did not let the police follow him and told them to wait in the car. He walked inside with his secretary, turned into the big alley and walked a few steps forward. From a distance, I saw a circle of people gathered around the place where the notice board was erected. They looked very excited.
