Chapter 262: The Pig Farm Officially Settles in Double Phoenix Town

Mr. Chen, all experts, welcome you to come to East Yang County for inspection!

Chen Yang and his party had just entered Double Phoenix Town when they discovered that Gong Wen, along with the leadership teams of East Yang County and Double Phoenix Town, were already waiting at the intersection.

Faced with such a high-standard reception, Chen Yang felt somewhat overwhelmed. He hurriedly opened the car door and quickly walked toward Gong Wen, saying with a smile on his face, "Gong Secretary, you handle myriad affairs daily, your work is so busy, yet you personally came to greet us—how can we feel worthy of this?"

Gong Wen laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, your willingness to invest makes you a great benefactor of our East Yang County. For benefactors, we will certainly treat you with the best hospitality."

After saying that, Gong Wen then introduced Chen Yang to the other members beside him.

"This is Comrade Yu Haibo, the County Mayor of East Yang County."

"This is Comrade Qian Xuebang, Director of the Public Security Bureau of East Yang County."

"This is Comrade Xiao Jiahe, Director of the Agriculture Bureau of East Yang County."

"This is Comrade Hu Tianyu, Party Committee Secretary of Double Peak Town."

Chen Yang listened to Gong Wen's introduction while warmly shaking hands and greeting each leader.

After the pleasantries, he then began to return to the main topic.

"Gong Secretary, leaders, your time is also precious; let's first go inspect the site."

"Good!" Gong Wen initially worried that hastily receiving Chen Yang in Double Peak Town would be impolite. After all, he was not only a star entrepreneur of Qingshui City but also the son-in-law of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau Director. He never expected Chen Yang to pay no attention to such minor details. This made him more confident about this investment project.

Gong Wen immediately had the leadership team of Double Phoenix Town lead the way to the pig farm site they had previously selected.

However, after everyone arrived at the destination, Professor You was not very satisfied with the plot of land selected by the East Yang County leadership team.

"Gong Secretary, this location is very close to both the East River and the residential area, making it unsuitable for a large-scale pig farm."

Gong Wen frowned slightly. The position recommended by the town is near the East River and also close to the street of Double Phoenix Town, with convenient transportation and living conditions. This was already the best environment they could offer, yet it was outright rejected.

"Professor You, which aspects do you find unsuitable? We can make improvements."

Professor You explained, "Gong Secretary, large-scale pig farms cause severe pollution and strong odors; they should be kept far from residential areas and water sources."

"Then what kind of location would be more suitable?" Upon hearing that they only needed to stay away from residential areas and water sources, Gong Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor You thought for a moment and said, "If it is a place with dry terrain, flat, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, then it is most suitable."

Upon hearing this, Gong Wen immediately turned to ask the Party Committee Secretary of Double Phoenix Town, Hu Tianyu, "Little Hu, does your town have a place that meets Professor You's requirements?"

Hu Tianyu, with great difficulty, had secured the large-scale pig farm project for Double Phoenix Town, fearing that Gong Wen might change his mind and switch locations. He quickly nodded and said, "Reporting to the secretary, our town has many places that meet the conditions. I will now take you to see them."

Thus the party walked another two kilometers and finally found a place that satisfied Professor You.

The only regret was that the plot chosen by Professor You was still inhabited by several farming households.

In response, Gong Wen indicated that he could go communicate with the local farming households to provide them with new homestead sites and demolition compensation.

Seeing Gong Wen's cooperation in the site selection work, Chen Yang also readily said, "Gong Secretary, if the villagers are willing to relocate, our company can bear the entire cost of rebuilding their homes. Moreover, if their family members are willing to work at the breeding farm afterward, we can prioritize arranging employment for them."

Gong Wen did not expect Chen Yang to be so generous; his eyes showed an extra hint of appreciation.

"Mr. Chen, I will first thank them on their behalf."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Gong Secretary, you need not be too polite. The purpose of investment is mutual benefit, not causing trouble for each other. I also understand a bit about your county's finances, which are indeed not easy. For the smooth progress of the project, it's fine if our company puts in a little more."

Gong Wen felt somewhat moved. Since taking office in East Yang County, he had indeed seen entrepreneurs voluntarily helping the government with its worries. However, those were all cases where they themselves sought something from the government. Someone like Chen Yang, who ought to be revered as a great bodhisattva, yet still considers him in return, is truly rare.

"Mr. Chen, based on your company's sincerity, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just speak up. Our County Party Committee and Government will surely remove all obstacles and solve your problems."

"Gong Secretary, I will not be polite from now on!" Chen Yang joked with a laugh.

Compared to the pig farm, Chen Yang valued more the investment in Gong Wen's political future. Now, by establishing a good relationship with Gong Wen, who is in difficulty, his future investments in Qingshui City will be more stable. Moreover, when his wife Lin Wei needs to rise in position, Gong Wen, as the future Party Committee Secretary of Qingshui City, will also be one of his greatest aids.

With Chen Yang's promise, the work of coordinating relocation immediately reached consensus.

The Double Phoenix Town Government re-plotted several homestead plots near the Town Street Office for a few original residents, allowing them to settle there.

Chen Yang also generously promised to build a three-story building with a shopfront for each demolished household.

After settling the demolition issue, Chen Yang, in his capacity as Chairman of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Co., Ltd., formally signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the Double Phoenix Town Government.

After the contract was signed, the party had dinner in Double Peak Town. Although it was merely a run-down small town, mountain delicacies and seafood, fine wine and delicious dishes were all available. Zhong Hanshan and Professor You, two scholars who had long lived in big cities, praised the meal without cease.

After dinner, Gong Wen still wanted to invite Chen Yang to visit the county when he had time, but Chen Yang politely declined.

He knew Gong Wen's intention; he surely wanted to draw more investments from him.

Although, from the long-term development of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company and the Meat Industry Company, expanding scale is also inevitable.

But Chen Yang deeply understood that nothing should be rushed. Only after getting the pig farm up and running, ensuring stable output of the Meat Industry Company, could there be conditions for expansion.

Before that, if expansion were undertaken rashly, it might not yield much effect.

As for developing new industries, Chen Yang truly lacked the energy.

After his rebirth, his goal was merely to invest a bit in real estate, enjoy a carefree life of collecting rent and lying flat, and occasionally play stocks. He never expected that after a trip back to Qingshui City, he would end up creating a bunch of industries.

Initially, it was to resolve the marital conflict between Du Yue'e and Lin Feng that he established the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company; then, following Xu Li's recommendation to take over, came the Old Hundreds Meat Industry Company; after that, related real estate brokerage, advertising, and financial investment companies.

Even the current large-scale pig farm was brought forward into the plan at the request of Mayor Kong Jie.

Everyone outside thinks he's an idealistic, ambitious young entrepreneur. In fact, if he had a choice, he'd rather just lie flat…
