Chapter 232

Some rumors are just hearsay, but others are far-sighted prophecies.

These two pieces of news spreading from Pingyang are definitely big news, and can even be said to have shaken the whole city. Almost as soon as the news came out, it began to spread wildly, and countless people began to discuss it.

The last time such a scene occurred was in the current Shangguan Economic Development Zone. At that time, the news of the establishment of the Torch Group spread in Shangguan Town, and subsequently, it was rumored that Shangguan Town would become the Shangguan Development Zone, and the land prices began to be wildly speculated.

And the lives of all the original residents of the Shangguan District underwent earth-shaking changes with the establishment of the Torch Group.

After their houses were acquired by the Torch Group, many families in Shangguan Town received a demolition payment that was equivalent to a huge sum in this era, and many families also received new housing. Even their family members were arranged to enter the Torch Group; as soon as the Torch Group started operations, they would become employees of the Torch Group.

Originally, Shangguan Town was just one of the many suburban areas around the Pingyang urban area, but now it is visible to the naked eye that Shangguan Town has become one of the areas with the greatest development potential in Pingyang!

Now, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone is in the midst of heated infrastructure construction. Not only the Torch Group but also the related supporting facilities make it a completely new urban area compared to the current Pingyang urban area.

In addition, since this year, many state-owned factories in Pingyang have successively begun to stop production or even close down. On the contrary, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone has countless infrastructure projects that require a large amount of manpower, causing many people in Pingyang and even the surrounding urban areas to run over to look for job opportunities.

Everyone can see that in time, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone will become one of the areas with the best economy in all of Pingyang!

The changes in Shangguan Town are still vivid in our minds. Now, the Pingyang Cargo Airport has emerged. Last time, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone appeared around the Torch Group. Now, will a new district appear around the Pingyang Cargo Airport?

A new district is not just an extra name. For the people in the Pingyang municipal government office, it means a new batch of staffing, and it means that a group of people can be promoted in their official careers with the appearance of the new district. This is related to the official careers and fates of countless people!

For more people in Pingyang, the appearance of the Pingyang Cargo Airport and the Airport New District means that another group of people can receive huge demolition payments and new houses, and others can get new job positions to support their families.

As for the rumors about the Oriental Era shopping mall, they also have a huge impact, especially for many Pingyang people living in the East District, who experienced the influence of this news in the evening.

"Bang!"

After sending away the nth wave of people who came to buy his house tonight, Qin Qihai slammed the door shut and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.

"This bunch of cutthroats, still wanting to take advantage! They didn't take enough advantage over in Shangguan Town, so they ran here!"

Qin Qihai said to his wife. Qin Qihai was originally from Shangguan Town. His old house had a large area, and after it was demolished, he received a demolition payment of 120,000. Afterward, he ran to the East District to purchase an old house and deposited the remaining 80,000 in the bank to earn interest.

Bank interest rates at this time were quite high, mostly around 10%, and some could even give 15% interest. That is to say, by depositing 80,000 in the bank, Qin Qihai could receive about 7,000 in interest a year. What kind of concept is this? It is equivalent to the annual wage income of a full-time worker.

Moreover, besides his eldest son who joined the army and is away, his second son has already signed a contract with the Torch Group, and as long as the Torch Group starts operations, he can go in to work.

Qin Qihai doesn't know how others feel about the Torch Group, but he is very grateful to the Torch Group. As a farmer, because of the appearance of the Torch Group, his life has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, after coming to the East District, Qin Qihai wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife. Who knew that before he had lived a few peaceful days, he might encounter demolition again.

This made Qin Qihai unable to help but complain to his wife, "Why can't people live a few peaceful days? It's either demolishing here or relocating there!"

Precisely because they had experienced the demolition in Shangguan Town, Qin Qihai and his wife were very familiar with the tactics of the waves of people coming to buy their house today.

"I don't know which company is demolishing this time, where we are going to move to, and after we move, I don't know if we will be demolished again. The newly bought furniture hasn't even warmed up yet!" Qin Qihai's wife also complained a bit.

"Dad, it's me, open the door quickly!"

At this time, the gate was knocked again. Qin Qihai thought it was that bunch of people coming to buy the house again, and he immediately glared, but upon hearing the voice, Qin Qihai knew it was his second son, Qin Xiaotao, who had returned.

"Hmph!"

"All day long, you only know how to hang out with your bunch of fox friends and dog companions. No wonder the girls introduced to you by others don't like you!"

Seeing Qin Xiaotao, who had a smell of alcohol on him, Qin Qihai scolded him angrily.

As a "demolition second generation," Qin Xiaotao didn't care about his father's angry scolding. He sat down and poured a large glass of water first, and then said to Qin Qihai, "I say, Dad, you really wronged me this time!

I went to scout for news this time. Do you know who wants to buy land in the East District this time?!"

"Who buys it, what does it have to do with our family? You brat, stop hanging out with that bunch of fox friends and dog companions, stop causing trouble for me, find a girl to marry properly, and then wait for the Torch Group to start operations so you can go to work!"

Qin Qihai said earnestly. In the past, the Qin family's conditions were not good, and it was hard to find a wife for Qin Xiaotao. Now that Qin Xiaotao has signed a contract with the Torch Group and has that huge demolition payment, the matchmakers have increased. Qin Qihai now just wants to find a wife for Qin Xiaotao to keep this mischievous brat under control.

"How can it have nothing to do with it? I scouted this news today from the person who is the neighbor of the older brother of the brother-in-law of a section member of the Municipal Urban Construction Bureau!"

Qin Xiaotao said mysteriously, "The Pingyang Cargo Airport is to be built far away from the urban area. The one demolishing the East District is Oriental Era, and this company was established by the Li family!"

Seeing Qin Qihai's still puzzled expression, Qin Xiaotao added, "Oriental Era, like the Torch Group, is invested in by Li Dongling of Dongling Gao Ke!"

Hearing this, Qin Qihai immediately understood, "It's the Li family who invested in the Torch Group that wants this piece of land? Then we must cooperate!"

Speaking of this, Qin Qihai's face was full of seriousness. He was grateful to the Torch Group and Li Dongling. Without the Torch Group, he would still be scratching for food in the fields, facing the yellow earth with his back to the sky, and how could he live such a life?

Although he faced demolition every few days and had to move constantly, which made him dissatisfied, his life was countless times better than before. At least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing!

"We must cooperate with Oriental Era. With Dongling Gao Ke and the Li family there, they definitely won't cheat us!"

Qin Qihai's wife also spoke up at this time. The reputation and influence of Dongling Gao Ke had already slowly begun to appear in Pingyang.

For the general public living in the East District of Pingyang, what they discussed was how much demolition payment they could get, or whether they could be allocated new housing, or go to work at the Oriental Era shopping mall.

But for many people in the provincial capital who received the news, the shock they received was no less than that in Pingyang, and perhaps even more so!

Inside the office of the deputy director of provincial capital transportation, the name hanging on the sign outside is Luo Junwu!

Transferred from Pingyang to the provincial capital, near retirement, Luo Junwu finally took another step forward. For his current position, Luo Junwu is already satisfied.

After all, his age has reached this point, and before he left, the Torch Group had just started operations and had not yet formed a scale. Relying on the credit of the Shangguan Economic Development Zone to enter the provincial capital was already the best choice for Luo Junwu. He was already satisfied and was just waiting to retire in a few years.

But at this moment, Luo Junwu, who was in the office, also received the news from Pingyang. After seeing the "Pingyang Cargo Airport" project, Luo Junwu was also surprised by Yao Zhengru's grand gesture.

When he was his deputy, Luo Junwu knew clearly that Yao Zhengru had always wanted to make a big move, but he didn't expect Yao Zhengru to have such great courage!

However, Luo Junwu also knew that the one who could give Yao Zhengru such great courage and confidence to propose such a large project was the existence of Dongling Gao Ke and a certain person. He also never expected that after he left Pingyang, Li Dongling could create such a large project as Xiaolingtun, directly increasing Pingyang's tax revenue by so much!
