Chapter 789

Hainan Linshui Jade Tower.

Qionglou is a real estate project developed by Imperial City in Linshui.

The whole community, mainly villas, through pipelines, filters and purifies seawater and sends it into the community for use in swimming pools and water amusement areas; used seawater is purified again and discharged into the sea.

Also introduces mountain spring water into the community for domestic use and the river/lake system.

The community has its own water treatment system; after treating wastewater, it is used for flushing toilets and cleaning.

(Mountain spring water has high hardness, not very suitable for washing clothes.)

For consumption, use mountain spring water; for recreation, use seawater; for other uses, use treated purified water.

The three-water system meets residents' high-quality living demands.

Here the environment is beautiful, the air fresh, the temperature suitable.

After Yang Qing's family came to live here for a while, they grew to like this place.

Yang Qing was leisurely here, but he didn't realize that his arrival also attracted a large number of Yang Clan enterprises to set up.

The problem lies here: facing the arrival of Yang Clan enterprises, the eager Qiongzhou populace did not show enthusiastic concern but instead revealed their greedy nature.

Since coming here, problems have been continuous, with various extortion attempts incessant.

One comes today, another tomorrow; protesting is useless.

Some people even openly extort and demand.

If you sue them, you lose every time.

Up and down, it's already become a mess.

These enterprises, feeling wronged, naturally turned to the Yang family to complain.

Hope the Yang family uses the capability of Headline to clear out these trash.

This matter then came to Yang Qing again.

This time it was Yang Qihang who came; Yang Fan basically doesn't care about these matters, he's an engineering-type guy with a clear position.

Yang Qihang now finds it hard to even see Yang Qing; after coming, he lingers, unwilling to leave because the problem isn't solved.

Along with Lin Cuiping and a bunch of women, they also came over.

To say let them go to Jingcheng to serve, they are all unwilling.

Once they came to Qiongzhou, everything changed; a big crowd arrived.

Yang Qihang was utterly embarrassed.

Seeing a group of women chattering, the villa's tranquility was instantly broken.

Of course there are benefits: Zhao Man Ting and Zhao Ruoyun no longer need to be accompanied by the Yang Qing couple every day for strolls.

They finally got to live the life of 'clothes come at a gesture, food arrives at a mouth'.

But after a few days, Yang Qing couldn't stand it anymore.

Yang Qing originally didn't intend to handle this matter, but due to their tossing, he had to hide with Yang Qihang in a dark room to discuss.

Yang Qing wrinkled his old face, looking at his old son, and couldn't help but advise him.

«If you can't, let the next generation take over. »

He wore an expression saying 'if you can't, step aside,' which made Yang Qihang's teeth ache.

«I've already been delegating power: my brother's family has Yang Tianyu and Yang Tianqi; my family has Yang Feiyue, Yang Feihong, and Yang Feixue; Yang Tian's family has Yang Qingfeng; Yang Yuntian's family has Yang Haitao; Yang Canghai's family has Yang Shulin; Yang Zhangfeng's family has Yang Minghui. »

«Plus a family office of over a hundred people; I am now basically semi-retired. »

«Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to talk to you about this. »

Yang Qing nodded, feeling quite relieved inside; paying attention to cultivating the next generation and knowing to hand over early — that's what makes a qualified family manager.

One shouldn't be like many emperors who wore out their sons to death, resulting in no time to train the grandchildren, leaving nothing but a pile of affairs dumped onto a child of just a few or ten years old.

Inheritance, inheritance; why is the character 'chuan' first? If those emperors had done it well, feudal dynasties would not have collapsed.

Delegating authority is a major field of study.

«Over these years, you should also have some understanding of the domestic political ecology. »

«To get by domestically, if you don't have the prestige of your old man like me, you must learn to borrow strength to strike strength. »

«You can't directly oppose them head-on. »

«We are resource controllers; you hold resources and now want to reach for power, which easily invites taboo. »

«Now the state, while vigorously promoting economic development, is also seeking ways to reverse the situation where everyone is greedy. »

«The mainland has actually changed a lot; people no longer dare to act recklessly. »

«Why is it still so bad here? »

«The main reason is that this place has abundant resources and it is a special zone. »

«Self-governance is necessary to ease contradictions, but it also cultivates in some people a character of doing as they please. »

«As for the special zone, needless to say, its special status fosters arrogance and domineering behavior in some people. »

«To change this situation is difficult, because it has become deeply entrenched. »

«What we can do is limited. »

«However, it's not that there's no way. »

«First, abolish the concept of provinces, change provinces into prefectures, counties into districts, bring all places under direct management, and implement flat management. »

«This point, we simply cannot achieve. »

«What I want to say is the following method. »

«Draw the cabinet's attention, then give the cabinet an excuse and opportunity to rectify the entire Qiongzhou. »

«To accomplish this action, we need multiple parties to lend their strength. »

«First, file an appeal, submit exposés to the People's Supervision and Headline; then the byte team follows up, drafts special reports, attracts more victims, lets them speak out, and further pushes public opinion. »

Then, provide the supervisory committee with truthful, reliable evidence.

The three parties together are enough to attract the cabinet's attention.

I will also, in the capacity of a consultant, submit an investigative report and a proposal.

The rest is left to fate; after a certain point, the byte must withdraw from this turmoil.

Leave the matter entirely to fate.

Regardless of the outcome, we must not intervene at all.

Through this set of actions, Qiongzhou will not undergo a major turnover, and those people will also have to restrain themselves a lot.

With this whole set, Yang Qihang's eyes lit up as he listened.

But he didn't quite understand.

Father, shouldn't we press on in one go? Why pull back at the critical moment?

You wouldn't not understand the principle that sparing a snake only leads to being hurt.

Yang Qing spoke calmly.

That's the proper measure.

I didn't tell you earlier that in Daxia we have already seized too many resources; if we dare to challenge authority, that's a grave taboo.

Some things must not be touched.

When you're broke you think about money; when you're rich you think about power; once you have both money and power, whatever you think about next is just decadence.

Don't be too greedy; flaws are what make things perfect. Daxia belongs to Daxia people, not to a few individuals, and it can never belong to the Yang Family.

Abroad there's nothing, but domestically, any improper thoughts must never exist.

Pulling back in time—that's the proper measure.

Being wronged and complaining is nothing, but if one doesn't know when to advance or retreat and meddles in things one shouldn't touch, our Yang Family's great influence becomes a source of disaster.

Since you're also preparing to step back, you should study these things well, have someone organize them, and use them as guidance for the Yang Family's overall direction.

Many of the family creeds were created in my name; you should also produce a guidance, and then this life will be considered fulfilled.
