shuhaige. net Chapter 253: Planning the Jiedao Construction Team

"Who said we have to take over?"

Yang Qing looked at Lei Gensheng and spoke with a tone of iron that won't become steel.

"We're just training workers."

"After the project is finished, they remain Jiedao personnel; before it's finished, they must already undergo our training and follow our commands."

"Also, you should covertly communicate with those skilled workers and see whether they're willing to develop with our renovation company."

"As long as we capture these skilled workers, even if other Jiedao objects, we can quickly pull together a sizable team ourselves."

"Don't forget, the Jiedao construction team has no official Jiedao staffing; they merely affiliate with the Jiedao and are self‑sufficient."

"Think back to the times you went hungry a few years ago."

"We have stable jobs here; who knows how many people want to come over."

Lei Gensheng thought about the days of the past.

That group is basically like day laborers; when there's work they get paid, when there's none they can only stare blankly or go out to find odd jobs.

That's why they still call the landlord their "employer."

It was only after Yang Qing started the Long-term Rental project that they had enough work; otherwise they'd still be eating one meal and skipping the next.

He gritted his teeth.

"Alright, let's do it this way."

"I have experience in this area; we can just follow the procedures we used when we founded the renovation company."

"We only recruit top talent."

Yang Qing nodded and said helplessly.

"These are unavoidable matters; otherwise those people wouldn't obey orders, and we'd be the ones taking the loss."

"And the key condition for our survival is efficiency."

"Efficiency is our lifeblood."

"You've worked hard; I assure you, if the higher‑ups approve in the future, we'll base a construction group on the renovation company."

When Lei Gensheng heard that, the prospect smelled so good he couldn't resist.

Yang Qing's organization of the training didn't attract the attention of the various Jiedao.

Moreover, each construction team relies on the Long-term Rental project for livelihood, so they dare not voice any objections.

During the training, Lei Gensheng began continuously courting people.

By the time the New Year arrived, most of the Jiedao's technical experts had already been swayed by him.

Many of these technical talents are leaders of the Jiedao construction teams.

(At this point, learning a skill mostly follows the master‑apprentice model; for example, in Lei Gensheng's team, many are his apprentices.)

The renovation company seizing them is almost equivalent to seizing the construction teams of Jiedao across the region.

Of course, all this was done covertly; before anyone noticed, the Jiedao construction teams had gradually been sidelined by Lei Gensheng.

While Yang Qing and Lei Gensheng were scheming, a problem arose here in the Jiedao.

Director Wang looked at the 63‑year plan Yang Qing handed over, and felt a tingling on the scalp.

The scale of this plan is ten times that of the 62‑year one; it's far too risky.

Does Jingcheng really have that many people needing houses?

Although Jingcheng agreed to gradually revoke corporate self‑construction permits, next year is still a year of streamlining.

How many people will return to the countryside, leaving how many houses vacant? Will Jingcheng still have such a huge housing demand?

If we build them and can't sell, damn, that's a massive burden.

Even though in the year‑end summary Director Wang just saw the terrifying figure lying on the Long-term Rental project's account.

But that amount of money is still insufficient for the whole plan.

Yang Qing was pulled into the office by Director Wang.

She pounded the desk.

"Today, you'd better give me a reason that convinces me."

"Otherwise I'll revoke your autonomy."

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"You're being reckless."

Yang Qing was sprayed with criticism as soon as she arrived; after hearing Aunt Wang's words, she finally understood why.

"Aunt!"

"Don't call me aunt yet; just explain the matter clearly."

Yang Qing didn't rush, but sat down.

"Aunt, you're right; my plan carries risk."

"But I think it's worth it."

"Our Hongxing Jiedao environment is indeed good, but besides our affluent districts, Jingcheng still has many shantytowns."

"If you inquire about the conditions they live in, Aunt, you'll find out."

"Dirty, chaotic, and poor; many places are just rooms partitioned with wooden planks."

"Streamlining can indeed free up some houses, but for those living in shantytowns, the quantity is far insufficient."

"If the buildings are completed but can't be rented, we'll CrossDistrict rent them to the shantytown residents."

"As for the vacant dangerous houses in the shantytowns, are they even considered houses?"

"Better to demolish them and rebuild."

Yang Qing's reason is a stretch, but it carries weight.

"You're so sure others will come rent your place?"

Yang Qing smiled.

"Aunt, if they just come check out our place, I guarantee lots of people will want to rent here."

"Living in the shanty area doesn't mean they're broke; they're just unlucky to be there."

Director Wang was still undecided; he also knew about the shanty area.

Many live in those ditches—just hearing the name tells you; could people living in sewage ditches be wealthy?

What good could come from houses built by the poor?

After all these years, those run‑down houses have probably become unsafe.

If we include these houses, those ten buildings definitely have market potential.

Ten buildings sound like a lot, but there aren't many units—now the buildings are only seven or eight stories, at most eight or nine; any higher would be too much trouble.

Unlike later, when a single building could have dozens of floors.

Besides, apartment buildings are in demand now, so finding tenants shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, there shouldn't be any issue.

Director Wang exhaled, relaxed a little, but the undertaking had grown too large, leaving everyone uneasy.

You need to think this through—if anything goes wrong, the impact will be huge.

Yang Qing wore a confident expression.

"Aunt, you still doubt me? When have I ever gone into a battle unprepared?"

Actually, his focus on the shanty area is just a front; the real reason is that, after all this time, the long‑term rental market has been developed.

It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go back.

Before, people avoided living too well for fear of looking extravagant, but now that others live so well, why shouldn't we do the same?

Wanting a better life is everyone's wish; you can hold someone back for a while, but not forever.

When Director Wang came to inquire, he draped the plan in a shanty‑area veneer to make it sound more impressive.

After Yang Qing left, Director Wang kept feeling something was off, but she had no time to dwell on it.

At this point, the agricultural implements factory wasn't developing as expected.

She had initially entrusted the project to Ye Junjie, a college student, still believing he could handle it.

Who would have thought that after all this time, there's still no progress?

The ideas Yang Qing suggested were useless.

All he did was figure out the scrap‑recycling route, which solved a few iron‑supply problems.

After that, he kept an eye on the Supply and Marketing Cooperative system every day.

And it was the city‑based Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
