Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 666: Demolition and housing distribution?

Luo Yang did not confront Empress Dowager Gu head-on and hung up the phone decisively.

Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, he called Jiang Fan to leave work early and rush to Shuangfeng Town together.

Today the yard of the old supply and marketing cooperative is extremely lively, comparable to the Spring Festival.

Just calling people takes a minute or two.

At the end of June, approaching July, even after the sun sets, the outdoor temperature is still 27 or 28 degrees.

Instead of staying inside the house, everyone gathered in the field outside.

The uncles and aunts gathered together to chat, while the younger generation were either playing with their mobile phones or having fun on the concrete playground.

Several aunts and uncles were busy, some were picking vegetables from their own farmland, some were helping in the kitchen, and the rest were setting the table in the yard.
Around six o'clock, two large round tables and a square table outside the house were filled with home-cooked meals, and everyone began to take their seats.

Grandpa Gu Baitao, eldest uncle Gu Xuebing, younger uncle Gu Xuesong, Luo Jianguo, second uncle-in-law Tong Zhenhai, third uncle-in-law Zhu Yunpeng, fourth uncle-in-law Xu Yujie and youngest uncle-in-law Qiao Shian, plus Luo Yang, nine men sat at one table.

Grandma, her five daughters, two aunts, and Jiang Fan, nine women in total, occupied another round table.

The other square table was occupied by the younger generation of children.

"If it's nothing important, I shouldn't have called everyone here for such a big event like today on a weekend like today."

At family dinners like tonight, it is customary for Grandpa Gu Baitao to say a few words before starting to eat.

"But..."

The turning point came soon: "The town is going to demolish the property, and the relevant demolition notice will be posted next Monday. The old supply and marketing cooperative is within the demolition range. In the past few days, people from the demolition company have come to our door to test our will."

Everyone at the big round table turned their eyes to their uncle Gu Xuebing and their uncle-in-law Qiao Shian.

One of them is the deputy director of the police station, and the other was originally in charge of this area in the town, so they should have known some news in advance.

Only Luo Yang sat next to his father in a daze.

My mind was in turmoil.

In his previous life, until he was hit by a dump truck, his grandfather's house did not receive any demolition notice.

The butterflies finally began to flap their wings, and the storm reached Twin Peaks.

"After I was transferred to Xishu Town, I focused most of my energy on the demolition work of the cultural tourism project invested by Yangyang. It was my father who told me about the demolition."

Qiao Shian explained: "Later I asked a few former colleagues in the town and learned some basic information."

"I don't know as much as my brother-in-law."

Gu Xuebing also explained: "The last time it was Chief Zhang who went to the town for a meeting, he brought back a notice to maintain public order and assist in demolition."

"Let's start the meal first, and we can talk about this while we eat."

Gu Baitao raised his glass, and everyone at the table followed suit.

The women who had been talking about the commotion just now also picked up their cups.

After finishing this sip of wine, the discussion started again.

"Dad, what's going on? Why is the old supply and marketing cooperative suddenly going to be demolished?"

As the eldest son-in-law, Luo Jianguo put down his cup and asked first.

It seems that he may have known about the demolition when he called Luo Yang, but he didn't know the specific reason.

"Let Shian speak."

Gu Baitao looked at his son-in-law Qiao Shian and said, "I don't understand many of the terms. It's hard to explain them. You should explain them."

“It wasn’t the town that initiated this. It was the city that was behind this.”

Qiao Shian took over the conversation from his father-in-law and explained, "Previously, Cathay Real Estate invested in the Shuangfeng Town Pilot Industrial Park in the town. The first phase, whether it was industrial plants or commercial and residential office areas, has been sold out. It can be said that it was very successful. With the completion of the land preparation for the second phase, it was supposed to copy the model of the first phase, but some time ago, the city suddenly changed its mind."

Luo Yang looked at his father.

“I haven’t heard any information about that.”

Hearing that this matter was related to Cathay Pacific's pilot project, Luo Jianguo immediately frowned.

Cathay Pacific is doing primary land consolidation and development. He is the vice president of production of Cathay Real Estate and should know some inside information.

But he didn't know either.

In fact, when Qiao Shian finished speaking, not only Luo Yang, but several brothers-in-law all looked at Luo Jianguo.

Of course, I also saw his frown and shaking head.

"The park is located in the southeast corner of the town. The first phase is surrounded by farmland, not to mention the second phase which is far away."

Fortunately, Qiao Shian continued to explain while eating: "The vegetable market, school, hospital and other supporting facilities are all in the town. That side is already the suburbs of the town, so the price of the second phase of land is not very high after evaluation."

“Are there any local companies that want to exchange?”

Before Qiao Shian gave the answer, Luo Yang had already guessed the reason.

He explained: "This company bought a piece of land in the second phase of the pilot park at a cheap price, built a resettlement community, and relocated the residents who built their own houses in the town. The land from the demolition in the town center was then put up for auction to build a higher-end commercial residential community. The company made profits by reselling the land."

After Luo Yang finished speaking, everyone at the table was silent for a few seconds.

After digesting the content of his words, I immediately became excited.

"They are so bold to exchange cheap resettlement housing for houses in the town center. Aren't they afraid of something going wrong?"

"What was the city thinking? Why did they agree to this plan?"

"This is simply outrageous. I believe most people would not agree to this kind of demolition, right?"

"."

Several uncles started shouting and expressing their indignant opinions.

"Brother-in-law, aren't you the vice president of Cathay Pacific? You also have shares in the company, so you should have a say, right?"

My uncle Gu Xuesong also said, "If you don't cooperate, there's nothing the development company can do, right?"

"Xue Song, it's useless."

Before Luo Jianguo could even speak, Qiao Shian helped explain, "This pilot park project is originally a first-level development model. The land that has been sorted out must be put on the market. Moreover, half of the shares are state-owned, so Cathay Pacific cannot have the final say."

“Cathay Pacific may not know about this yet, or the city and Cathay Pacific may not have reached a complete consensus.”

Luo Yang also interrupted at this time and said: "This involves the interests of all parties. Cathay Pacific may also want to take a share. By the way, Dad, is Fu Bin not in Shanghai these two days?"

"Yes, he went to Jiangcheng, and he will also visit Rongcheng on this trip."

After answering his son's question, Luo Jianguo also reacted: "Maybe the city is also waiting for Fu Bin to come back to talk, so this matter has not spread in the company, otherwise I would not be unaware of the news."

"Uncle-in-law, do you know which development company it is?" Luo Yang looked at Qiao Shian and asked, "Have they signed a cooperation framework agreement with the city or town?"

"Jinyang Real Estate, formerly known as the Chengguan Town Second Construction Branch, the boss is Jin Chenyang."

Qiao Shian responded: "As for whether the agreement was signed or not, I didn't find out."

"Yangyang, you have invested in so many industries in Yang City, you must have a good relationship with the city's top leaders."

Second uncle Tong Zhenhai interrupted and said to Luo Yang: "And your father-in-law Jiang Yuanshan has a lot of face in Yang City. Can you two find a leader to act as a middleman and ask Jin Chenyang to come out for a talk?"

"Let's not talk about how much profit this project will bring. As a businessman, it is impossible to give up easily just for the sake of face."

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "Also, this matter is probably not just the business of Jinyang Real Estate. The real driving force is in the city."

"Second brother-in-law, Yangyang is right."

Qiao Shian helped to speak up at this time: "That's what I heard."

"why?"

When someone asked this question, Luo Yang thought of the dinner last night.

From the city's perspective, once this project is launched, the second phase of the pilot park project will consume more than half of the land, which will be of great benefit to the entire pilot project.

Once the two plots of land are exchanged, the vacant land in the town center will be put up for auction, which will generate a considerable amount of land transfer fee income.

Moreover, once the residential community is developed, the tax paid by the real estate project will be a considerable amount.

All of the above are positive for the city’s fiscal revenue.

From the perspective of the town, if this project can be promoted and implemented, the appearance of Shuangfeng Town will be greatly improved, and the town's finances will also be able to benefit from the city.

Another thing is that once the project is implemented, two residential communities will be built simultaneously in Shuangfeng Town.

For Shuangfeng Town, the surrounding industries and consumption driven by real estate will bring huge benefits, even if they are only slightly related. This has been verified in the pilot park project.

For Jinyang Real Estate, it goes without saying that it can acquire the land for the second phase of the pilot park project at a cheap price and build a high-end residential community on the land in the town center. The price difference between the two will be a huge income.

The other is Cathay Pacific. The first-level land that has been prepared has been put up for auction. For the project, the completion rate has reached half. The overall pressure of the second phase of development will be reduced. Moreover, they still have some initiative in their hands, which can be used to negotiate with the city and share part of the profits of this project.

For example, winning the general contracting project for one of the residential communities.

The management team and construction team are ready-made, as are the construction machinery. All these cost savings are profits.

It’s a bit hard to judge the original inhabitants who were evicted.

Because these indigenous people now live in self-built houses, not every family has good economic conditions, and some self-built houses can even be considered dangerous. Therefore, some indigenous people are willing to relocate to commercial residential areas.

After all, self-built houses have a large area, and if they are demolished and exchanged square by square, most families can exchange them for two or three commercial houses.

Some people can even exchange for four or five sets.

In the following time, Luo Yang told all these analyses to the elders present one after another.

"Of course, Aboriginal people like Grandpa wouldn't want to do that."

He finally smiled and said, "Although it's a bungalow and a bit old, look at this yard. It's priceless. Let alone a commercial house, even if I were to exchange it for a villa, I don't think grandpa would be willing to do so."

"I'd still be willing to trade for a big villa with a big yard."

Gu Baitao smiled and said, "Under the premise of not harming our own interests, we cannot hinder the development decisions of the city and town!"

"Hahaha"

Not only the men at the table, but also the women at the table laughed after hearing Gu Baitao's words.

Yes, a villa with a bigger yard, why not change it?
"Then let's talk."

Luo Yang's mind worked quickly: "It's unlikely to stop this project from being implemented, but it's still possible to let Jin Chenyang build a dozen villas in the development community. This is not to sell my or my father-in-law's face, but to increase his own income."

"Can I really get a villa?"

"It can be replaced. At most I can just pay a little more money."

Luo Yang said to Gu Baitao: "Grandpa, we can also customize the villa. Whatever layout you like, we can design it ourselves and then give the drawings to Jin Chenyang and let them build it for us."

Wow! When this idea came out, Gu Baitao's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case."

One should remain reserved, Gu Baitao paused as if pretending to be hesitant.

After a moment, he said, "I originally called you here to discuss the division of the houses. I roughly calculated that if the house is demolished, we should be able to get five houses of about 5 square meters. The two of us old people will take one, Xuebing and Xuesong will take one, and how will the remaining three be divided?"

No wonder all the children were called back home.

With five houses and seven children plus themselves, it is not easy to divide the houses.

It’s not about money, it’s just that it’s hard to be fair.

Unless the remaining three houses are sold and the children who did not get the houses are divided.
"Grandpa, this is not about dividing the money."

Luo Yang stood up and distributed cigarettes to the elders at the table one by one. After passing them around, he smiled and said, "It will cost money to buy the villa, and it will also cost a lot of money to renovate it. What we need to discuss next is how much money to support Grandpa."

"Luo Yang, you are the only one who can do this. Sit down!"

The moment everyone at the table fell silent, Queen Mother Gu got angry: "The elders haven't expressed their opinions yet, what ability do you have to show off as a child?"

"Big girl, what do you mean by showing off your abilities?"

Luo Yang was scared, but Gu Baitao was not afraid of his daughter: "We have a lot of people in our family, who is more capable than Yang Yang?"

He was not polite at all when he scolded his daughter: "Since you are sitting at this table, it means that we all treat Yangyang as an adult. And you all heard our conversation just now. Yangyang understands the cause and effect of this matter better than anyone else. Why can't you express your opinion?"

Gu Honglan didn't dare to say anything and could only stare at her son.

I told him when I called him to talk less during dinner.

Now, not only did he say a lot, but he also decided on behalf of the other elders, asking them to share the money for the old man to buy a villa.
It’s okay for me to have two sons. They will get more of the family property in the future, so it doesn’t matter if they have to pay more.

All five daughters have started their own families. If I spend money now, I may not get any benefits in the future. Making such a suggestion will definitely make people hate me.

"Mom, you must have misunderstood Luo Yang."

When Gu Baitao was talking about his daughter, Jiang Fan stepped forward to help his mother-in-law out: "Those who are more capable should take on more responsibilities. Note that it is Luo Yang who pays for it. He should pay for the subsidy for grandpa's villa!"

In recent years, commercial housing in Shuangfeng Town, even in the town center, has been priced at just over 1,000 yuan per square meter.

Even if the villa is a little more expensive, the total price of a house with an area of ​​four or five hundred square meters will not exceed one million. The money for demolition and resettlement must be deducted from the total price, so Luo Yang only needs to come up with another 500,000 at most.

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him.
