Chapter 1097

Su Xinghui said, "That's not necessary. If Old Master Shen gets angry and something happens, that would be my fault. As Yu Ge said, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. What means can he have to retaliate against me in Shangjun County?"

Yu Ruizhi nodded, "That's true. Old Master Shen is too old, even a few years older than my grandfather. We really can't tell him about this. But don't worry, if anything happens, we will definitely help you."

Su Xinghui said, "Thank you all. You have really helped me too much."

Chu Zheng laughed, "Alright, just help us make more money in the future."

In mid-April, Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang came to Pengjiawanzhen again. This time, they were accompanied by an elder from their family, Mi Xiuyuan's second uncle, Mi Mingjing, and Xie Junqiang's fourth uncle, Xie Maowei. Their arrival clearly meant they were here to make the final decision on the investments of the Mi and Xie families in Pengjiawanzhen.

Since the Mi and Xie families sent Mi Mingjing and Xie Maowei, it proved that both families were very interested in these two investment projects and were very sincere about investing here, which gave Su Xinghui a sense of certainty.

However, it was normal for them to be interested in investing here. The conditions of Pengjiawanzhen itself were already quite good. As long as the Changjiangdaqiao and the highway were built, this place would be at a strategic location, and the terrain was flat with sufficient water sources. This was the best place to develop industry.

And now, the big families in Hong Kong investing in the mainland also had the intention of testing the waters. They were also very concerned about the political resources of the investment location, which should be said to be an important factor in their decision of whether to invest.

Pengjiawanzhen had Su Xinghui here. Su Xinghui was the prospective son-in-law of Hudong Province Vice Governor Lu Zheng and had such a good relationship with red third-generation figures like Yu Ruizhi. If they invested here, they would inevitably establish a good relationship with Su Xinghui, which was also highly valued by the Mi and Xie families.

After Mi Mingjing and Xie Maowei arrived in Pengjiawanzhen, they conducted an inspection of the situation in Pengjiawanzhen. The results of the inspection were naturally very satisfactory. The natural conditions here were beyond reproach, and after Su Xinghui had contact with them, they were also more than satisfied with Su Xinghui's talent, demeanor, and performance in all aspects.

Ultimately, both of them gave very good evaluations of the conditions in Pengjiawanzhen, and they also made the decision to invest in Pengjiawanzhen on behalf of the Mi and Xie families. The specific affairs would be executed by Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang.

The Mi family decided to invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars to build a medical equipment manufacturing company in Pengjiawanzhen, while the Xie family decided to invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars to build a logistics and warehousing company in Pengjiawanzhen.

Medical equipment manufacturing was a traditional industry of the Mi family. They had relatively deep technical reserves in this area, which were much more advanced than the technology in the mainland's medical equipment industry at present. And now, the demand for high-end medical equipment in mainland hospitals was also very large, so the prospects for this industry were very good, which was also a suggestion Su Xinghui made to them.

And the logistics and warehousing industry was one of the traditional industries of the Xie family. The logistics and warehousing industry was also one of the most suitable industries in Pengjiawanzhen, a transportation hub, and it would surely have a bright future.

The signing of these two investment agreements made all the common people in Pengjiawanzhen happy. Since the beginning of this year, the number of enterprises investing in Pengjiawanzhen had reached more than 20, and the great development of Pengjiawanzhen was just around the corner.

These 20-plus enterprises were going to recruit thousands of workers locally in Pengjiawanzhen, and among them, nearly one-third were to be recruited by these two Hong Kong-funded enterprises. This meant that nearly one-tenth of the people in Pengjiawanzhen could become wage-earning workers, which would involve more than 30 percent of the families in Pengjiawanzhen. It could be said that it was closely related to every family in Pengjiawanzhen.

On this day, Su Xinghui came to Dongtang Village, which was where the Changjiangdaqiao was being built. Therefore, the Xie family's logistics and warehousing company was also prepared to be built here. Su Xinghui went to inspect the situation here with Xie Junqiang.

Accompanying them were Liu Yongjun and several of Xie Junqiang's subordinates. As soon as they arrived at the village committee, they saw Village Party Secretary Liu Tiegang and Village Director Ma Lianhua welcoming them. They smiled and said, "Town Mayor, General Manager Xie, you are here!"

Several people entered the village committee with Liu and Ma. Su Xinghui smiled and asked, "Old Liu, can the land acquisition work in your village be completed on schedule? Do you need our town to help you?"

Liu Tiegang said, "Of course it can be completed on schedule. The common people in our village have very high awareness."

Su Xinghui joked, "Is it high awareness or are they satisfied with the compensation?"

Liu Tiegang laughed, "Both, both."

Everyone laughed.

Ma Lianhua was busy pouring tea for everyone. Su Xinghui waved his hand and said, "No need to pour tea. Let's go and take a look at the site."

Several people arrived at the site. The logistics and warehousing company invested and built by the Xie Group was to acquire 200 mu of land, right on this piece of land adjacent to the highway diagonally opposite the Changjiangdaqiao. The construction site of the Changjiangdaqiao was on the piece of land near the highway to the north. In the future, the highway would be to the west of the logistics and warehousing company, right next to it. The location of this logistics and warehousing company could truly be called a golden treasure land.

Su Xinghui smiled, "General Manager Xie, it's fortunate that you decided early. If you had decided later, maybe this piece of land would have been snatched away by someone else."

Xie Junqiang nodded, "Yes, this is truly a golden treasure land."

Now, on this piece of land, most of the vegetables had been harvested, and only some late-maturing vegetables were still being harvested. It was already late April, and these were the last batch of mature vegetables.

Liu Tiegang said, "In the past two days, I have been urging them to sell these vegetables. After they are sold, General Manager Xie can enter the site. General Manager Xie, did it delay your construction period?"

Xie Junqiang smiled, "No, no. Our engineering design drawings will take some time to come out. Let the common people sell these vegetables; otherwise, it would be a pity. They are all such good vegetables."

A group of people walked to the side of a piece of land where vegetables were being harvested. Su Xinghui saw an old couple harvesting vegetables on this piece of land, and a little boy was helping the old couple move the cut cabbage to the ridge of the field. Although he was young, he could move two cabbages at a time, so he could help a little.

Su Xinghui knew this little boy; he was Yan Xiaole. During that Lantern Festival, he had helped Yan Xiaole guess a lantern riddle, so he shouted, "Yan Xiaole!"

Yan Xiaole looked up and saw Su Xinghui. He shouted happily, "Uncle, it's you!"

Su Xinghui nodded, "It's me. Is this your family's land?"

Yan Xiaole said, "Yes, I'm helping my grandparents harvest vegetables."

Su Xinghui said, "You are really sensible. You know how to help your family work at such a young age. Come up and rest."

Liu Tiegang hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, come up and rest for a while."

The old couple pulled Yan Xiaole and walked onto the ridge of the field. Everyone sat down under a tree together.

Yan Xiaole said to his grandparents, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is the uncle who helped me guess the lantern riddle during the Lantern Festival last time."

Yan Xiaole's grandparents hurriedly said, "Thank you!"

Liu Tiegang smiled, "Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, do you know who this is? This is our Pengjiawanzhen's Town Mayor Su."

"Town Mayor Su?" The two old people were shocked, "So it's the Town Mayor. Thank you so much!"

Su Xinghui said, "It was just guessing a lantern riddle, not worth thanking. Xiaole, have your parents not returned this year?"

Yan Xiaole's expression became dim, and he shook his head, "They still didn't return this year."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, how many mu of land do you two old people farm?"
