Chapter 1533: Cursed by Father and Mother
Everyone was waiting, their eyes gathered on Zhou Andong.
Zhou Andong puffed on his cigarette: "Incorporating towns into the urban system, letting farmers enter the city, integrating rural land resources, and unified planning by the government, this idea is correct."
Jian Minglang was stunned. Didn't this bastard say there was a problem? Why is it correct again?
Looking at Jian Minglang, who was lost in thought, Zhou Andong smiled slightly: "You don't need to think too much, such a forward-looking strategic plan definitely isn't something you could think of."
Originally, Jian Minglang was just pondering how Zhou Andong could slap his own face and overturn the previous statement.
Now he has learned to be smart, knowing that Zhou Andong absolutely wasn't praising him, so he was thinking if there were traps inside.
But he never expected that he was standing there saying nothing, and Zhou Andong, that 'b' bastard, was still throwing sand on him.
"Second brother asks you two questions." Zhou Andong's sudden question.
Jian Minglang had a reflex shudder, and said very vigilantly: "What do you want to ask?"
"These two questions of mine are very simple." Zhou Andong said: "Farmers enter the city, lose their land, lose their houses, where do they live, what do they eat?"
Jian Minglang didn't expect Zhou Andong to say this problem, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's all written in the plan. Integrate rural land resources, unified planning by the government, establish a company, and give dividends to farmers every year. Housing is even simpler, the government builds houses and rents them to farmers."
"Good!" Zhou Andong sat up straight: "Then, new problems have emerged. Integrate rural land resources, establish a company, let farmers hold shares, this idea is also correct.
However, after farmers lose their land, can the profitability of this company guarantee that farmers can eat their fill? If farmers can't eat their fill, will there be big problems?"
Jian Minglang was very unconvinced, and said with cold sarcasm: "Didn't you also establish an agricultural company in Tanghezi, annexing farmers' land and giving them shares?
You can do it, why can't the Jiangzhou government do it? Do you think you are more 'niubi' than the Jiangzhou government? Things you can do personally, the Jiangzhou government can't do?"
Jian Mingzhi nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face: "Andong, I know your ability is outstanding, especially your talent in business is amazing, but you can't look down on the people of the world.
Third brother says something you don't like to hear, a person can be confident, but not arrogant. Can be wild, but absolutely not arrogant. Confidence can make you invincible, but arrogance can make you fall into a dead end."
This guy is really taking revenge without overnight, Zhou Andong said he knows modesty is a good thing, but being too modest is hypocrisy, now he immediately retaliated.
"Think of our vast China, in thousands of years of history, countless people of insight have appeared. Especially in modern times, there are many talents. Nowadays, New China has been established for decades, with a population of over one billion, can't we find a few commercial talents?"
"Third brother, your lesson is right." Zhou Andong said with a low eyebrow: "But I must declare, I absolutely don't have the meaning of looking down on the people of the world. Even if you, third brother, stand in front of me, that is also a mountain-like existence, how can I have the qualification to look down on the people of the world?"
Jian Minglang sneered: "In the end, you still put yourself above the local government, thinking you are very 'niubi'."
Zhou Andong shook his head helplessly, and asked again: "How much money did you ask for from above?"
Jian Minglang raised his eyebrows: "Seventeen million."
Zhou Andong smiled: "Do you know, Blue Sky Animal Husbandry Company, established for less than a year, has invested how much?"
Before Jian Minglang could say anything, Zhou Andong continued: "Now Blue Sky has only completed the first phase of the project, I won't talk about the infrastructure investment.
Just talk about the anti-seasonal greenhouse, the research and development investment in fruit and vegetable breeding has already exceeded thirty million. You tell me, what can the seventeen million you asked for do?"
Jian Minglang's momentum weakened: "It definitely won't be just this seventeen million, the above will definitely allocate more."
"Allocation?" Zhou Andong asked: "How much can they give you, one hundred and seventy million, or one point seven billion? If I remember correctly, the total budget for your old city renovation is less than 1.3 billion."
Thinking of the total budget of 1.3 billion, Jian Minglang's momentum rose again: "Is 1.3 billion not enough?"
"Enough?" Zhou Andong didn't hide the mockery on his face: "This 1.3 billion, if you can ask for half, I count you, Zhou Minglang, as capable. Not to mention, this 1.3 billion is the budget for the entire old city renovation, including other projects.
Even if you put all this 1.3 billion into urbanization renovation, it's just a drop in the bucket. You have to know, the Blue Sky company I established, is just in Tanghezi, three hundred households of farmers.
And what you are going to move is between Jiangzhou and Jinli County, within fifty square kilometers, seven administrative villages, four thousand households, over twenty thousand people."
Zhou Andong took the ashtray and flicked the ash.
"Another thing is housing. It's no problem for the government to build houses and let farmers rent them. But have you considered that farmers have their own homesteads in the countryside, and they don't spend a cent living in houses for generations.
You want to
With the old man here, Zhou Andong didn't go so far as to curse their ancestors, but the expressions of everyone present still became somewhat strange.
"Of course, without considering whether the farmers are cursing or not, without considering whether they will go hungry, and without considering the problems and deficiencies that might be encountered in the future, if you only consider your political achievements, Jian Minglang.
It's just a matter of putting up a few buildings, setting up an agricultural company, and building a few greenhouses. This is simple and doesn't cost much money. Thirteen hundred million—taking out the change is completely enough, and you might not even need that much."
Jian Minglang was still unconvinced: "Then can you guarantee that Blue Sky won't run into problems? Can you guarantee that Blue Sky will always be profitable, that the villagers of Tanghezi will be able to receive dividends every year, and that they will never go hungry?"
Zhou Andong shook his head: "In business, how can there be eternal profit without loss?"
"Then what are you talking about?" Jian Minglang laughed mockingly: "Aren't you also unable to guarantee it?"
"I think you have some misunderstanding of my words." Zhou Andong smiled: "I cannot guarantee that Blue Sky won't have problems, nor can I guarantee that Blue Sky will never lose money, but I can guarantee the basic livelihood of the villagers who have invested in Blue Sky."
"What are you using to guarantee it?" Jian Minglang's voice rose sharply, his emotions appearing somewhat agitated.
"Money, of course." Zhou Andong's tone was very light and breezy: "Qiu Dongfang is a major shareholder of Blue Sky Animal Husbandry and has an emergency reserve fund of two hundred million US dollars.
Of course, this two-hundred-million-dollar reserve fund was not specifically prepared for Blue Sky Animal Husbandry. But if Blue Sky Animal Husbandry runs into problems, whether it's a natural disaster or huge losses caused by poor management.
This two-hundred-million-dollar emergency reserve fund can be activated to ensure that the basic livelihood of the villagers is not affected..."
The living room was silent; this was a perfect interpretation of what it means to be wealthy and imposing.
Jian Minglang had nothing more to say, and Jian Mingzhi didn't dare to say anything more either.
What else could they say? Having money just makes one's words damnably firm.
Especially Jian Minglang, thinking back on this past year.
He had begged everyone he could to scrape together seventeen million.
He had originally been high-spirited, returning to show off, but he hadn't expected to be struck by Zhou Andong to the point of doubting life itself.
"Besides!" Zhou Andong said with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at Jian Minglang: "Blue Sky Animal Husbandry doesn't just have Qiu Dongfang as a shareholder; there is also the Yugong Group. If Qiu Dongfang's emergency reserve fund also runs into problems, the Yugong Group will step forward to endorse it.
And what can you use to endorse it? Relying on that face of yours, or that mouth of yours? Don't tell me about any endorsement from the Jiangzhou government; I won't believe that, the common people of Jiangzhou won't believe it, and even my father and grandfather won't believe it. I reckon even you don't believe it yourself, right?"
