To make it easier for construction vehicles to come in and out, the big alley has been paved with asphalt, and several companies near the road have signed the demolition agreement. Excavators are demolishing the obstructive yard, so there is a relatively spacious area in the middle.
District Mayor Lang and his staff were surrounded in front of the signboard. Behind it was a pile of construction debris. In the corner were broken cans, old cabinets, rotten quilts, etc. discarded by nearby residents. A banner was pulled between two big trees. It says "Reject forced demolition, resist collusion between government and businessmen", and the old scoundrels Da Xiong and Er Xiong from the phototype film are still waving little red flags below.
Zhou Bingyi laughed angrily, thinking to himself, didn't these two guys win over Zhou Bingkun? After thirty years of relationship, the scars have healed and they have forgotten the pain.
"Comrades, comrades, please give way."
The people at Guangzi Film focused on District Chief Lang and did not notice Zhou Bingyi's arrival. It was not until Xiao Wang shouted loudly that they turned around to take a look.
"Zhou Bingyi is here."
"Zhou Bingyi is here."
"who?"
"Mayor Zhou."
"..."
Zhou Bingyi led Xiao Wang into the crowd. District Chief Lang wanted to talk to him, but he waved his hand to stop him. He turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Folks, when I came over there, I saw this banner hanging on the tree trunk. Forced demolition? Tell me, whose house was demolished and which department was responsible for the demolition?"
No one said anything, because the slogan "Reject Forced Demolition" was just a gimmick, a way for Erxiong to make the matter bigger.
"Why didn't you say anything? No one forced the demolition?"
Zhou Bingyi's eyes swept across the entire venue, and he saw Qiao Chunyan, Yu Hong and Cao Debao looking like a crowd next to the notice board.
"Since there was no forced demolition, please tell me what is the collusion between government and businessmen behind this? Who colluded with whom? As long as the evidence is conclusive, we will deal with it seriously."
"..."
There was another moment of silence.
Perhaps because he saw Zhou Bingyi taking the lead and thought he couldn't let him continue to be so arrogant, Big Bear gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, stood up and pointed at him and said, "It's you. You colluded with your brother Zhou Bingkun and deceived all of us."
"I colluded with Bingkun?" Zhou Bingyi smiled: "Then tell me, how did I collude with him?"
"Seven years ago, your brother used a pawn shop to deceive us into mortgaging the property to him. Seven years later, you saw that he had almost collected the house, so he came up with a demolition policy to make him a huge fortune. Don't think that we are all fools. , isn’t this collusion between government and business?”
Zhou Bingyi still kept a smile on his face: "How many years has Bingkun been investing in Northeast China? Strictly speaking, he has been doing it since 1983. You should still remember the name Jishantang. It was his first business in Jichun. What happened? , made a move for Golden Land Magazine and took the hotel back, but it was not managed well and became a bad business. I feel ashamed to say that some people here should know my father Zhou Zhigang. My younger brother and my father were really... we used to pinch each other when we met. He refused to obey anyone, so he never told him what he did in the south or what achievements he had when he returned home. As for me, it was only many years later that I found out that Longyue Hotel belonged to Bingkun. At that time, he had already acquired the Red Star Wood Processing Factory and Songhua River Soy Sauce. Even when I met Peng Xinsheng of the Luo Group about the Jichun Chemical Plant, they didn’t know that my brother had become such a big name in Shenzhen. After so many years, if I really had interests in him, I won't wait until today to do this. Jishantang's affairs should have been taken care of back then. To put it bluntly, even if I wanted to give him a hand, he wouldn't care about it, because everyone around him knew that I Of the three children in the Zhou family, my father thinks that I am the most promising and my youngest son is the most messy. As for Bingkun, he is holding his breath and wants to prove that his father is wrong. Think about it, he is so ambitious. If he succeeds through my relationship, Is that called success? Isn’t that a slap in his own face?”
Da Xiong hesitated for a moment, then continued to raise his face and spat: "These are your family affairs, how can others know the truth or falsehood? Anyway, now he just defrauded our house and made a lot of money from the demolition affairs led by you. "
"Does everyone think so?" Zhou Bingyi glanced around the crowd again. Although they didn't help, there were still many doubts on their faces: "It's not like me, the elder brother, who promotes the younger brother, Bingkun... it's really unnecessary Make money this way.”
As he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the corner of the alley, and then a group of people came over noisily.
After seeing the person at the front, Zhou Bingyi was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he was not the only one who was stunned, everyone was stunned, because the person who said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived was none other than the person who was today's topic - Zhou Bingkun.
Daxiong found his daughter-in-law in the crowd who came with him. He knew that he was from the pawn shop, and he also brought over the people who had made trouble in the past.
"Bingkun, why are you back?"
Zhou Bingyi didn't know about his return to Jichun.
"Yesterday the manager of the pawn shop called me and said that someone was coming to make trouble and asked me how to deal with it, so I booked a flight for this morning and came back to deal with it." After saying that, he glanced at the slogan hanging on the tree trunk, and then looked at it coldly. Big Bear and Er Xiong glanced at each other, making them shrink back. He did not put any further pressure, walked to the small slope next to him, and looked at the residents present with disdain: "Sometimes it's really funny when I think about it. , The ancients never deceived me. What do you mean by hanging this banner? You understand, I understand too, but my brother doesn’t understand, or he pretends not to understand. Don’t you just think that you are at a loss? Want to Do you want to return to your property in Guangzipian so that you can get a share of the pie during the demolition? Now it seems that there is a reason why Guangzipian is a poor place."
Everyone present could hear the sarcasm in his words.
"Did I force you to borrow money from a pawn shop? No, it's because you are greedy for cheap and don't think borrowing money is a good business. After all, living in a fully furnished building is much more comfortable than a bare adobe house. You guys I have enjoyed the blessing of living outside for several years. I don’t have to worry about my parents slipping and breaking their legs while walking on the dirt road on rainy days. I don’t have to worry about carbon dioxide poisoning when burning briquettes in winter. I don’t have to queue up with buckets to fetch water. I don’t have to endure the smell of public toilets. Children can read the key points. At school, the old man has an emergency ambulance that can drive directly into the community. Now he sees that the optical film is about to be dismantled. After learning about the compensation standards, he becomes mentally unbalanced, so he comes out to make trouble and scream. Are you still being unreasonable? No, it should be Are you still shameless when you ask this? I, Zhou Bingkun, can't choose where I come from. If I could, I would tell my son, look, there are a bunch of craps living in the light-letter film, and they deserve to be poor."
If the first sentence is a mockery, the second sentence is a curse.
Yes, it sounds unpleasant and angry, but anyone with a little bit of conscience will know that he is qualified to scold and even more qualified to ridicule.
I was given the management of a lumber factory in Faxiao, but I was almost bankrupted by the people who moved Guangzipiao. Now the people who moved out saw that Guangzipiao was going to be demolished, and thought it would be profitable, so they wanted to tear up the agreement with black letters and red handprints on the white paper. From Zhou Bingkun's point of view, how would he view the residents of the light-text film?
Zhou Bingyi couldn't say things like this, but it was really refreshing to hear his brother scolding these people.
He was the one who was criticized in the past, but now these people are allowed to see Zhou Bingkun's vicious tongue. Well, it's quite good.
Seeing that everyone was just glaring angrily and not daring to reply, Cao Debao's eyes were about to burst into flames. Lin Yue raised his fingers at him: "Cao Debao, you don't accept it, right? Come on, come out and speak."
How could Cao Debao dare to go out? He smiled awkwardly, but took a step back. He cursed behind his back, blackmailed and blackmailed, and even tried to make a stumbling block, but he fought with Zhou Bingkun in front of his face? I really don’t have the guts. After all, Sun Qianchao has learned from the past. This guy is cruel to others, and he has no mercy at all. There is also Sun Sheng. Others may not know that Yu Hong came to their house last year. He cried and said that the British informed him that Sun Sheng was missing, and it was not until three months later that he was discovered naked by locals on a beach in Brazil.
From the United Kingdom to Brazil, from Europe to South America, no one knows who has done it, but they remember that at the party with Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang after Sun rushed in, Zhou Bingkun asked them if they wanted to eradicate the Sun family.
"Don't you want to talk?" Lin Yue turned to look at Daxiong again: "Come here."
The big bear also shrank back.
Lin Yue seemed to be disappointed with their cowardice: "It's boring. Let's do this. Don't you want to go back to your own house? It's not impossible. Even if it's to support my eldest brother's work, as long as you can click on the photo Housing area * average price of commercial housing in Jichun City, the money will be returned to the pawn shop, and the house with the photo will still be yours, how about it? It’s fair and legal, right?”
Did Zhou Bingkun promise to give them a chance to redeem their house?
There was an uproar.
Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Yes, Zhou Bingkun chose to compromise and give the relocated Guangzipian residents a chance to redeem their old homes, which could help him calm the situation, but to be fair, he felt a little guilty.
In the past, he would have definitely felt that this was the right thing to do and that he was his younger brother. But it is different now. It may be because he is old, or he may have realized that he has only focused on work in his life and has done too little for his family. He always feels that this is the right thing to do. It's not fair to the younger brother - from the perspective of a businessman, if I don't make much money, those three melons and two dates are far from being significant to the Shencheng Group; From the perspective of contributing to the neighborhood, it can be regarded as a mixed blessing. Some are grateful and some are hostile, and most of them are jealous and unhappy. From the perspective of Zhou Bingyi's younger brother, in order to support his work and calm down the situation, he chose to go with Da Xiong's group. People compromise... There are some people out there who are so insatiable that they are hopelessly greedy.
"Three months, I'll give you three months."
Lin Yue dropped these words and turned around to leave, as if he felt his feet were dirty even if he stayed in the light film for a second longer.
Among the onlookers were not only selfish people like Da Xiong, Er Xiong, Cao Debao, and Yu Hong, but also some residents who were just joining in the fun. They looked at Da Xiong and others with contempt. This thing is no different from playing chess. What's the difference between regretting chess and being unable to afford to lose in mahjong? You always think about what to do to your benefit and treat others as fools?
"I can't afford to lose."
"Shameful."
"Stop talking. Don't mess with scoundrels like this. They block keyholes, throw shit, throw firecrackers into the yard, kick the back wall in the middle of the night... There's nothing they can do."
"Both brothers from the Xiong family are in their fifties and are about to become grandfathers. Why are they still doing this kind of thing?"
"Didn't they borrow money from a pawn shop and move to Chonghua Community in the past two years? I heard that they had a falling out with everyone in the entire unit building. They put pickles in the corridors, piled garbage, and brought some shady things in the middle of the night. People are coming in and out, making loud noises, this family really... annoys people wherever they go."
"Stop talking, stop talking, Er Xiong's wife is here."
"..."
Zhou Bingyi did not continue to listen to the neighbors' complaints. He told Xiao Wang and District Mayor Lang to take a closer look at the demolition progress and the residents' additional demands, and quickly caught up with Lin Yue.
"Bingkun, are you angry? I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Lin Yue said: "Many times you think you are doing them a favor, but others may not appreciate it. A farmer will be bitten if he saves a dying snake, let alone someone with more ideas."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Didn't you hear the conversation among the neighbors just now? There are still many people who miss you."
"Haha, ten silent people with conscience are not as loud as one crazy evil person."
Zhou Bingyi was speechless, because his brother was right. Even if a hundred people thought of him well, they might not have the upper hand in the face of two extremely vicious gangsters.
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the light film, Lin Yue comforted him: "Don't blame yourself. This matter is not your fault. In fact, I didn't lose anything. I didn't give the house back for nothing. Compared with the house price in 1995, I I have doubled my profit by flipping it, and the annual rate of return of almost 10% is already considered a high return for most prudent investors."
That's true, but based on past results, Zhou Bingyi always felt that the energy he put into this matter was not proportional to the money he earned.
"Zhou Rong came to see me again a few days ago."
"Is that still the case?"
"Yes, she said that Cai Xiaoguang is now forced to film bad dramas, which will affect his reputation."
"That's their own choice. Why should others wipe their butts? Just tell her what I said and let her give up as soon as possible. The same is true for Yueyue."
"..."
…
What Zhou Bingkun said in the big alley quickly spread throughout the film, and those who had bought houses in the city a few years ago were moved.
As long as you give the money to the pawn shop based on the area of the old house * the current average price of commercial housing, you can get the real estate certificate back, and then get a resettlement house based on the area of family size * 20. Well, for some people, there is a price difference. , Second, the resettlement houses are new ones, and the location is a bit off. However, District Mayor Lang also said that according to the planning blueprint released by the city, Wangjiatun belongs to the Hope New District. Water, electricity and heating will be available this year, and more will be built in the future. Schools, hospitals, and several shantytowns will also be moved there. When there are more people and shops, they will become more viable, and then housing prices will rise.
A group of people began to sell their houses and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to move back to Guangzhou and wait for demolition. A group of people did not want to bother. The buildings they now live in belong to the central city and are close to commercial streets, workplaces, hospitals and schools. They feel that It’s not worth the trouble to make up for the ten or twenty square meters. There are still a few people who borrow money from relatives and friends to redeem their houses. Why? They don’t want to lose the building they bought before, and they want to take advantage of the compensation for the demolition of the optical film. Savings + borrowing money to collect the area of the old house * the average price of commercial housing to redeem the house, then live in it, and then get the resettlement house and sell it later. Not only can you guarantee the bottom line without worries, but you can also make a lot of money.
…
To put it bluntly, everyone is playing against their own little ninety-nine, and everyone is thinking about how to do it to their benefit.
Whose interests have been harmed by the people who made the optical film? Investors. The district approves the land, but the funds for building resettlement communities come from developers. If they do this, the developers will have to build more houses and spend more money. Originally, this kind of business will not make much money. In the construction of commercial real estate in Guangzi District It is another project with large investment, long cycle and high risk, so there will definitely be complaints and resistance. The city also believes that this kind of chaos must be curbed, otherwise the shantytowns to be demolished will be like this in the future, and what will happen to the urban construction plan? Push on.
So the city began to investigate the people who returned to live in Guangzipian after the announcement was posted to determine whether they had other properties in the city. Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao's family came into the inspector's sight. The family of seven has a total of 170 meters. Housing per capita is close to 25 square meters.
They went to get a subsidy of 120 square meters for six people, plus a little more money to exchange for two two-bedroom apartments. When they paid, they didn't accept it. This made the two people very angry, and they learned from the grapevine that Lao Qiao's family was likely to Those on the "blacklist" can only be replenished based on area, not on a per-capita basis.
At this time, the situation was not good. After several attempts to find someone to clear things up, the two of them thought of Zhou Rong and wanted her to do Zhou Bingyi's job.
"Sister Zhou Rong, this is the situation. I hope you can have a good talk with Brother Bingyi and ask him to be accommodating. There are thousands of households in this area. There will be no more than our family, and no more than our family will be missing."
Zhou Rong thought for a while and said politely: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. You should know the character of the eldest brother. As long as it is a violation of discipline, let alone my sister, it will be useless even for my parents. And recently, he has been very dissatisfied with me. The big one, ask him to be a middleman, connect a boss who is related to Xiaoguang's future, even asked Zhou Bingkun to have dinner together but he refused."
Qiao Chunyan knew that the relationship between Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun was very tense, but she didn't expect that her relationship with Zhou Bingyi would also take a turn for the worse. You must know that when they had conflicts in the past, Zhou Bingyi always supported Zhou Rong.
Both she and Cao Debao looked ugly.
Zhou Rong continued: "Actually, it is more effective for you to ask Zhou Bingkun for this matter than asking Big Brother. Tangcheng, which is undertaking the Wangjiatun resettlement housing development project, is a unit of Shencheng Group. Whoever is given an extra apartment is a matter of Zhou Bingkun's words. .”
Zhou Rong didn't live in Guangzi Pian, so she didn't know that Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao had broken up with Zhou Bingkun.
Of course, even if she knew, she would still say this. Seeing Zhou Bingkun troubled by these human relationships would at least make her feel bad.
Tangcheng is a real estate company under Shencheng Group?
Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao looked at each other, both surprised by this setting. Didn't the outside world say that Jicheng and Tang Cheng always quarreled, and the second child disobeyed the boss? What's going on? The boss behind the two co-authored companies is Zhou Bingkun? Is this a double act?
The two of them were pretending to be busy, so they naturally couldn't continue chatting with Zhou Rong. They exchanged a few words and stood up to leave.
Zhou Rong walked out of the corridor and waved goodbye to them.
As soon as she returned upstairs from below, Cai Xiaoguang came out of the kitchen with the word "unhappy" written on his face.
"Zhou Rong, do you know what you are doing?"
"What did I do?" Zhou Rong didn't know why.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if word spreads that the boss behind Tangcheng is Bingkun?"
"Isn't what I said the truth? What consequences could there be?"
"The demolition of Guangzipian was carried out by my eldest brother, and the contractor of the resettlement housing was Tangcheng, and Bingkun was the person who owned the most real estate in Guangzipian. If this matter spread to the ears of those who are dissatisfied with the demolition policy, they would Don’t you think there is brotherly cooperation or collusion between officials and businessmen?”
"Big brother said it himself. He doesn't care about these rumors. He just wants to do things well."
"That's true. He can ignore other people's opinions in order to do practical things, but his identity... Well, aren't you trying to cause trouble? Zhou Rong, when will you change your childish style?"
Zhou Rong told him she was annoyed: "What's wrong with me trying to demolish him? Didn't he also demolish mine? Also, didn't the eldest brother always say that if you are upright, you won't be afraid of a slanted shadow?"
Cai Xiaoguang was so angry that he stopped cooking and threw his apron on the sofa: "Just do it."
After finishing speaking, he entered the study room.
Zhou Rong said angrily: "Cai Xiaoguang, what kind of attitude do you have? I went to ask him to introduce Yan Xin to Zhou Bingkun. Isn't it all for your sake?"
Cai Xiaoguang's angry response came from the study: "I thank you, thank you for giving up your dignity for me."
