Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and replied, "For the next step, my plan is to focus on the development of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Only by thoroughly revitalizing the economy of these key places can we have enough strength and experience to expand to other regions in the future. After the construction of these places has achieved remarkable results, we will gradually promote it to various provincial capitals. In this way, we can promote the economic development of the entire country step by step from point to surface."

The big boss nodded slightly in agreement, but at the same time reminded earnestly: "This matter has received a lot of attention, and the forces involved are also complicated. So, the burden on your shoulders is not light!"

He Yuzhu nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Don't worry. No matter how great the difficulties and pressures are, I will definitely go all out to successfully build these places into modern metropolises that are full of vitality and internationally competitive."

The leader took another sip from his glass, then added, "Well, in my opinion, we should still focus on building the capital. After all, this is the capital of our country, representing the image and facade of the country. We must make it an international metropolis that can attract global attention and attract the world's attention, so as not to be looked down upon by those foreigners."

He Yuzhu said with a worried look on his face: "This is indeed what worries me. Think about it, if we want to build our city into an international metropolis, then large-scale construction work is definitely indispensable. However, this kind of construction actually means that many old buildings and facilities need to be demolished and rebuilt, and you can imagine how difficult it is."

The leader nodded slightly and responded calmly: "You don't need to worry too much about these problems. We will handle and resolve them properly."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's face immediately showed a trace of joy, and he quickly responded: "With your words, I feel much more at ease! Let's not talk about other things for now, just talk about the hotels in this city. The current accommodation conditions are really unsatisfactory, not only that, the service level is even more unsatisfactory..."

At this point, He Yuzhu noticed that the boss's face had become a little gloomy, but he did not stop talking.

"My idea is to first build a truly international hotel for our city. In this way, when foreign guests visit us in the future, we will have service staff who can communicate with them smoothly at any time.

After guests check in, they can enjoy an ample supply of hot water whenever they want to take a shower. In the hot summer, they no longer have to rely on fans to cool down, but can comfortably enjoy the coolness brought by air conditioning.

In addition, the hotel will also be equipped with a variety of restaurants with different flavors to meet the dietary needs of guests from all over the world..."

After He Yuzhu finished explaining his ideas, the leader slammed the table and said loudly: "If that's the case, then why are we still dawdling? Act now!"

He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, chuckled and said, "Haha, this involves the issue of property rights."

The big boss nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Well, this really needs some careful study."

He Yuzhu then said, "So, when you go back, you must call everyone to a meeting to discuss it." He paused and added, "When the time comes, just tell me the results of the discussion, and I will make further plans and arrangements based on the final results."

The big boss frowned after hearing this, looked at He Yuzhu seriously and said: "You can't just talk about it, you have to come up with a detailed report! Otherwise, how can I give it to other colleagues for discussion?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and assured, "No problem, just wait for me for a while, I will definitely give it to you in a few days." Then he changed the subject and sighed with a sad face, "But these are not the most important things. The most important thing right now is my settlement."

The big boss shook his head helplessly and said with a hint of reproach: "Such a serious matter is not as important as a house in your heart..."

He Yuzhu laughed dryly twice and didn't respond.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to suddenly remember something, pointed to a place not far away and said, "Haha, by the way, I found that the drainage system here is not perfect. It may need to be improved."

The leader looked in the direction of his finger, thought for a moment and replied: "This is a big project, we can only do it step by step." He Yuzhu waved his hand confidently.

He smiled and said, "There really isn't a good solution for this, but as for the road repair, I do have an idea."

The big boss became interested and asked quickly, "Oh? Tell me what you mean."

"Attract investment!"

For example, after all the invested costs are recovered, we will give a few more years of buffer time and return it to the relevant parties when the time is right.

At this time, the big boss couldn't help but frown and said: "Based on the current situation, it may take a long time to fully recover the cost!" He Yuzhu responded confidently: "In my opinion, it will take at most 30 years."

In this way, the two of them had an in-depth and extensive discussion around this topic. Before they knew it, the steaming dishes on the table had been heated up again and again. When the conversation finally came to an end, the leader and his wife stood up to leave, and He Yuzhu personally escorted them out the door very warmly and respectfully.

Sitting in the car, the leader was full of thoughts. He recalled the long history and legendary stories of Prince Gong's Mansion. It turned out that Prince Gong's Mansion was the largest palace building in the Qing Dynasty. It had served as the private residence of Heshen and Yonglin.

It was not until 1851 that Prince Gong Yixin had the honor of becoming the new owner of this mansion. From then on, it was called "Prince Gong's Mansion". However, with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the ownership of this mansion changed hands several times and finally belonged to Fu Jen Catholic University. Time passed by, and it was not until 1988 that the garden part of Prince Gong's Mansion was finally opened to the outside world. In 2008, the carefully renovated Prince Gong's Mansion was officially completed and then fully opened to the outside world.

Prince Gong's Mansion is divided into three parts: the central, the eastern and the western parts, each consisting of several quadrangles, and a 160-meter-long two-story rear building. Prince Gong's Mansion has experienced the historical process of the Qing Dynasty from its heyday to its decline, and carries extremely rich historical and cultural information, so there is a saying that "one Prince Gong's Mansion is half of the history of the Qing Dynasty".

The area covers 61120 square meters. This is not an easy task!
But their request seems reasonable. Forget it. Let the people above worry about it.
That night, He Yuzhu contacted Xiangjiang without stopping and asked the designer to carefully design the drawings. Within a few days, He Yuzhu handed the plan and design drawings to the senior leader as if he was holding a rare treasure. The senior leader made an appointment to meet with Zheng Gong and his team as if he had met a rare guest.

"Leader, these are the materials submitted by Xiao He." The secretary carefully placed a stack of documents on the desk.

The leader raised his head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Oh? I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what new and eye-catching ideas he can come up with this time." As he said that, he reached out and picked up the document and began to read it.

After a while, the leader couldn't help but exclaimed: "Well, this road construction plan is really ingenious! The ancients said, 'If you want to be rich, build roads first', it is indeed a wise saying. But..."

The leader paused for a moment, frowned slightly, and continued, "It's just that we need to think carefully about how to generate revenue for a few more years after recovering the cost. After all, we provided the land resources, so it's only natural that we can get the corresponding returns in the end, just like borrowing chickens to lay eggs."

Thinking of this, the leader nodded secretly, thinking that it seemed that the possibility of success of this road construction project was already quite high. Then, the leader turned to the next page and saw the idea of ​​building an international hotel. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "This idea is very good. I strongly agree with it. However, it may be difficult to require all waiters to speak foreign languages. It is not easy to find so many qualified talents!"

At this time, the secretary interrupted and said, "I heard that Xiao He plans to hire people from Hong Kong."

The leader nodded thoughtfully: "In this case, the salary that needs to be paid will definitely not be less. After all, the salary levels in the two places are very different."

“Yes, and he emphasized that property rights must be clear,” the secretary added.

"This hotel is our flagship store. It cannot belong to him no matter what."

One voice said anxiously. Another voice responded immediately: "That being said, they have contributed both money and effort. It would be inappropriate to reject them outright."

At this time, the leader who had been silent all this time spoke up: "I do have an idea." "Tell me about it quickly. If you have any ideas, just speak up. Don't dither or hesitate. What's the matter? Aren't you a soldier I led back then?"

Someone nearby urged. The big boss smiled and replied slowly: "My idea is actually similar to building a road. We can give him the property rights for a few decades and take it back when the time is right."

That's fine, at worst we can just put in a little more effort and we'll be the ones doing the work."

Someone chimed in. Hearing this, everyone started laughing, and one of them couldn't help but sigh: "Haha, after all, you young people are really smart!"

However, the big boss smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering to himself: "I am still a young man. Even my grandchildren are already grown up!" Then, he raised his voice and said to everyone: "Okay, if you have other questions or ideas, please speak up at the same time. We can have a meeting now to discuss them properly."

At this time, someone else stood up and said, "Leader, he brought a lot of his relatives back with him this time, saying that he wanted to find a place to stay."

The big boss frowned slightly and asked, "Hmm? Then what?" The man continued, "He said he wanted to return to his roots. After all, he was born in the Forbidden City and grew up here."

After hearing this, the leader nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Well, this young comrade is very conscious. However... his family seems to have a large population. If he is given a place that is too small, I'm afraid there will be no place for them to stay."

"In that case, let's grant him the wasteland." The big boss sat in the spacious and bright office, crossed his hands under his chin, and said thoughtfully. His eyes were deep and solemn, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

"But that piece of land..." Another person stood aside, with a hint of hesitation and worry on his face, hesitating to speak. He knew very well that the wasteland was in a remote location, the surrounding facilities were not perfect, and it was difficult to develop.

The leader raised his hand slightly, motioning the other person to continue. The man took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said: "I know that although the place is a little remote, as long as it is well built, it will definitely develop in the future. Moreover, this can be regarded as giving him an explanation. After all, he needs our help, and we can't just give him no face at all." The leader nodded and approved of what he said.

"Okay, boss. I'll go and handle the formalities right away." Seeing that the boss had made the decision, the person who spoke before said no more, turned around and hurriedly left the office.

The leader quietly watched him leave, thinking to himself: "I hope this decision won't cause any trouble." He knew very well that there were many complicated interests involved in this wasteland, and a series of problems might arise if he was not careful. But in order to take the overall situation into consideration and stabilize the forces of all parties, he had to take the risk and make this decision.

At this time, someone nearby interrupted with a smile: "He also told me that he was also a prince in ancient times, and a prince of a different surname."

Another person added: "So I want a mansion in Sijiu City." After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other.

"Haha, what a funny little guy. But it doesn't matter. We don't have to worry about him asking us for things, because he always has to give something in return." The big leader raised his lips slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

"So what do you think he likes?" someone asked curiously.

The big boss thought for a moment and said slowly: "As long as it's not the Forbidden City, it's fine. Other places can be considered as appropriate." His voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Leader, he wants Prince Gong's Mansion."

There was no laughter now.

"You really give me a hard time!"

"You see?"

"Let me smoke a cigarette and think about it."

“Is there any other alternative?”

"Well, there are other big houses, but they are uninhabitable."

"It has been destroyed beyond recognition and is in a mess. Some of the houses have even been occupied by multiple families."

"Only Prince Gong's Mansion is relatively intact, but it also needs repairs, mainly because it is very active here."

“They are all from different units. We don’t want too many and too mixed residents, which makes it difficult to relocate.” (End of this chapter)
