1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 660 Pressure
early morning.

Yang Mo woke up in his minimalist bedroom.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the face next to me, with a more charming look between the eyebrows. He was lying on his side, staring at me with a smile.

Glancing at the uneven body that could not be concealed by the thin ice silk quilt, Yang Mo recalled the madness of last night and smiled a little evilly: "Sister Zhuo...you can't do it!"

When Zhuo Mali heard this, her face flushed immediately and she slapped him in annoyance: "Who would have thought that you are so crazy! I have been single for many years, how can I stand your torment all of a sudden!"

The cry of "dead ghost" well reflects the psychological changes of a Northeastern woman.

In fact, Zhuo Mali insisted on not going to the hotel and instead took Yang Mo back to her home, which undoubtedly also showed some attitude.

She had a charming face to begin with, and with this touch of spring-like blush, Yang Mo's index finger suddenly moved, and he stretched out his right hand with a hint of dishonesty.

Suddenly, the difference between Northeastern women and Qilu women was revealed. Zhuo Mali not only did not dodge, but straightened her chest, her face became more charming, and her voice was a little proud: "How is it, sister didn't disappoint you?"

Yang Mo nodded sincerely, but patted the mattress under him with a sly smile: "I'll find a chance to change to a spring bed in the next two days, and add two thicker pillows!"

Zhuo Mali was unable to resist and glared at him viciously: "You want your sister to die, right?!"

Seeing this guy not saying anything, he just stared at me with that evil smile that made me panic.
Zhuo Mali gritted her teeth and twisted Yang Mo's waist gently: "It's my bad luck to follow you, a damn devil, and you will torture me to death... I'll buy it tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky outside, lifted the ice silk quilt, and was about to get out of bed.

Yang Mo turned his head and looked at the time on the wall: "It's not even six o'clock yet, Sister Zhuo, you're going to get up already?"

Zhuo Mali turned her head and glanced at him: "I have to prepare breakfast for you, a grown man... I know you don't like mutton, so I have some Spanish mackerel frozen in the refrigerator. I'll thaw it and fry two for you. I'll also make some Spanish mackerel dumplings for you. Considering the time it takes to knead the dough, it should be ready in time."

It has to be said that northern women of this era, regardless of their background, all have more or less some skills in cooking. Even a young lady like Mu Liya can cook a table of fairly tasty meals, let alone a mature woman like Zhuo Mali who has been working hard in society for several years?

However, from kneading the dough to shaving the fish, chopping the stuffing and then making the dumplings, it is indeed a very time-consuming task. It takes at least more than an hour in total, plus the time to cook and eat the dumplings... According to Dahua Company's working time of 8:30 in the morning, it can be said that it cannot be rushed any further.

So, in this age where you can see dozens of breakfast shops wherever you go, for a woman like Zhuo Mali, the meaning of being willing to work non-stop for more than an hour just to cook a large plate of dumplings for you is self-evident.

Looking at the elder sister whose brows had regained a hint of childishness, Yang Mo glanced at the explosive body in front of him that was irresistible to all men. The impulse to pull her back to bed for morning exercises suddenly disappeared.

"Remember...make the Spanish mackerel dumplings bigger."

Yang Mo smiled and warned.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Mali rolled her eyes, then put on her clothes and went out happily like a young wife.

8.50
Texas Urban Properties.

Small meeting room.

It’s called a small conference room, but it’s actually not small at all…at least it’s about the same size as a normal conference room in most companies.

This conference room, which is not often used, is now packed with people.

Generally speaking, those who are qualified to enter this small conference room are at least middle and senior level officials at the level of department heads and deputy department heads; as for those supervisors, even if you are in charge of a project worth tens of millions, even if you have countless people outside flattering you, you are not qualified to sit here.

Nowadays, in Dezhou Urban Development Company, even the supervisors are powerful and impressive figures, not to mention the deputy ministers and ministers.

However, it is somewhat strange that there are nearly 20 departments, with a total number of nearly 40 middle and senior managers (some of the management of Dahua Company have not yet arrived, otherwise the number would exceed 60), but their expressions do not show the calmness they should have, but instead they look confused and uneasy.

Even... a hint of panic.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on them, because this meeting was called on short notice, and the person who ordered the meeting was Yang Mo, who was usually extremely impatient with large or small meetings.

What is even more unusual is that today is not the day Yang Mo is on duty at Dezhou Urban Development Company.

Yang Mo, who was supposed to be handling various matters at Dahua Company, showed up at Dezhou Urban Development Company and abruptly called a group of middle and senior managers to attend a meeting. Even the dumbest person could sense that something was amiss.

What's even worse is that Yang Mo, the boss, is not only extremely strict with his subordinates' work requirements on a daily basis, but has also recently become notorious for his viciousness.

Such a ruthless person who dared to kill a giant like the Wei family for a trumped-up reason took the initiative to hold a meeting, which was unusual for him. Regardless of whether these people had something to hide or not, how could their legs not tremble?
Zhao Yongde, who had taken his seat on the rostrum in advance, was also nervous.

According to normal procedures, he and several other members of the team should have entered the venue with Yang Mo.

But this meeting was convened by Yang Mo over the phone, and Yang Mo was now on his way from Dahua Company. Since he was notified to officially start the meeting at 9 o'clock, he had to enter the venue early.

In the eyes of some people, a public institution with a strong administrative color like Dezhou Urban Development Company is different from a central enterprise like Dahua Company... At least it is impossible for such an institution to implement the factory director responsibility system.

Therefore, his status as the Party Secretary is incomparable to that of Ding Xiang of Dahua Company. Whether from the perspective of organizational structure or company charter, he has the power to restrain Yang Mo, the general manager.

But in fact, he knew that he was not much different from Ding Xiang... Perhaps if someone else took the position of party secretary, he could restrain Yang Mo, but he had already lost this possibility.

Without it.

He was the middleman who introduced Wei Hongjun to Yang Mo.

The matter between Yang Mo and the Wei family is a confusing one. Except for a limited number of people within Dahua Company, no one else knows the truth of the matter...but this does not prevent the matter from being full of unfounded accusations.

But no matter what, Yang Mo took action against the Wei family and even succeeded, so the situation of him, the person who introduced them at the beginning, suddenly became awkward.

If Yang Mo wanted to settle accounts with him, he would definitely leave in disgrace.

Even though he didn't have a close relationship with the Wei family,

Even though he recommended Wei Hongjun to me at the beginning, it was mostly just because he was asked to do so.
Even though he thought that he had been conscientious since taking office as the Party Secretary of Dezhou Urban Development Company, and had not used his position to do anything that violated organizational principles.

But does it matter?
It doesn't matter. Not violating organizational principles doesn't mean that I won't have any tails or work omissions. Since Yang Mo was able to bring down a behemoth like the Wei family, then with the other party's terrifying administrative resource mobilization power, it really wouldn't be difficult for them to deal with a small fish like me.

Similarly, if Yang Mo wanted to put himself on the chessboard, and use his identity as the party secretary of Dezhou Urban Development Company to push himself out, and deal with the people who were stuffed into the company by various people in a way that seemed to be in line with procedures, then he would have no third way to go except to cooperate obediently.

And this is what he is most worried about.

After all, no one wants to be pushed out to take the blame, and the gods behind many people in the company are definitely not people that a mere Zhao Yongde can afford to offend.

What’s more crucial is that Yang Mo didn’t give him any chance to communicate in advance, and just went against his usual practice and ordered a meeting.

In the eyes of others, this was just an ordinary decision made by Yang Mo, who was always strong.

But he had a strong premonition.

As Yang Mo is about to be promoted, an unprecedented reckoning is about to come.

And he, as the company's party secretary, will also face a big test.

If your on-the-spot performance is not satisfactory, you will immediately be forced to exit the stage in disgrace.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yongde couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness on his face.

It is really difficult to work with someone like Yang Mo who is so strong to the core!

While sighing...

Tap tap tap~
Following a burst of hurried footsteps, a group of middle and senior managers from Dahua Company rushed into the small conference room.

As the figure hanging at the end of the line, who was familiar to everyone but rarely seen in front of everyone on weekdays, appeared in everyone's sight, the whole conference room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone, including Zhao Yongde, straightened up unconsciously...

………………

Puff~Puff~Puff

Sitting in the center-right position of the podium, Yang Mo tried the microphone sound effects, then casually adjusted the position of this clumsy thing, just as a way of telling everyone that the meeting was about to begin.

Looking at the serious and almost nervous faces in the audience, Yang Mo smiled and went straight to the point: "It seems that everyone feels that today's meeting is a little unusual."

"Well, it's not bad. At least it shows that as company executives, you still have the sensitivity you should have." Yang Mo took a sip of the tea in the white porcelain cup, looking very relaxed: "It has been a year and a half since the establishment of Dezhou City Real Estate Company."

"Over the past year and a half, the company's business has been booming, but it has also exposed many problems... Today is the time to seriously correct and rectify them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hairs on everyone's back stood up.

The situation is similar to that of Dahua Company. When it comes to business volume, the Discipline Inspection Department of Dezhou Urban Development Company is definitely among the top five...especially after the East China disaster relief project began.

Over the past year and a half, although countless new faces have entered the company, we also have seen countless old faces leave.

However, the good thing is that most of those who were taken away by the Disciplinary Inspection Office for investigation were grassroots cadres at the team leader level. Although there were some at the supervisor level, there were only eleven or twelve who were invited to have tea so far. As for those at the ministerial level, except for a deputy minister who was blind and got caught in the crossfire at the beginning of the East China disaster relief program, there were no other unlucky ones.

But many people know that this is not because other people really have no problems at all, but because the Discipline Inspection Office of Dezhou Urban Development Company is a relatively special functional department. It is under the leadership of Zhao Yongde but does not directly obey Yang Mo.

Not only did they not take the initiative to investigate the authority of the ministerial-level management, but they were also experienced and knew how to maintain the dignity of the company.

However, the meaning of Yang Mo's words just now was very clear. Now is the time to settle the accounts.

Glancing at Zhao Yongde beside him with a smile, Yang Mo said in a kind tone: "Old Zhao, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. It is better to squeeze out the abscess in advance than to have it rot in the trouser leg and have to be amputated later. What do you think?"

Zhao Yongde's heart tightened.

Sure enough, it came!

But he didn't expect it to come so soon, and he had to express his position right away.

With the big test coming up, what else can he say?

He nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. As an important business resource allocation unit in the Texas region and even in the north-south connection strategy, any problems in the work must be prevented in the bud."

Although these words are somewhat ambiguous in their intensity, they undoubtedly support Yang Mo's decision to hold an accountability meeting on the spot.

Some people below suddenly looked a little grim. Zhao Yongde was the company's party secretary. With his statement, Yang Mo no longer had any procedural compliance issues.

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled and glanced at Zhao Yongde, then turned his head away, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace: "Li Yi!"

wow~
As if he was called in class, a young man in his thirties stood up subconsciously. However, he was only halfway up when he seemed to realize something was wrong. He just bent over like a dried shrimp with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Boss Yang, do you have any instructions?"

The others did not intend to make fun of Li Yi's embarrassment. Instead, they became nervous and felt that they were feeling the same way.

As the director of the Urban Asset Management Department II, although Li Yi's weight in the company is not important because the department is only responsible for urban construction business, he is still the head of a department after all. However, since he was picked up like a little rabbit and named first, it can be imagined that Yang Mo's knife today will definitely not be light.

As expected, Yang Mo glanced at him calmly, then reached out and took a stack of information from Wang Xin: "Li Yi, as the director of the Second Department of Urban Asset Management, you are responsible for cooperating with the local competent authorities to place foreign-invested enterprises and coordinate the optimal allocation of local industrial land resources."

"But I want to ask, on September 9 last year, you signed and agreed to transfer and allocate an area of ​​21 mu of M16.6 industrial land in the first phase of the new city to a plastic packaging manufacturer to build a factory. What happened?"

"On October 10 of the same year, you signed and agreed to transfer an 17-mu M8.2 industrial land in the first phase of Xincheng to a cosmetics company to build a factory."

“今年的4月11日~5月26日，你更是一口气转让了14块，总面积高达607亩的M2工业用地给电镀、小型化工、造纸等企业用于建厂；”

"More importantly, on May 5, you signed the local environmental assessment report and signed your name on the consultation form, agreeing that the relevant department would transfer a 11-acre plot of land in the secondary business district near Dahua Industrial Park to a cosmetics company from Hong Kong!"

Yang Mo's tone began to become dangerous: "Li Yi, you should know that with Dahua Commercial Demonstration Zone as the center, although industrial land within a 5-kilometer radius can be reclaimed and transferred, in principle, new enterprises must be settled in accordance with the standards of M0 industrial land."

"How dare you violate company regulations and collude with outsiders to transfer industrial land in a secondary business district to a cosmetics company by means of fraud?!"

"Who gave you the courage?!"

Seeing Yang Mo's gloomy face, Li Yi's body shook like a sieve unconsciously. The others were also silent. The eyes when they looked at Li Yi clearly showed four big words... You are dead!
As mentioned above, due to the tight financial situation in DZ City, a considerable part of the funds for the new city expansion project was raised by Dezhou Urban Construction Company through the issuance of bonds.
In order to achieve the basic indicators of a prefecture-level city as quickly as possible and to raise sufficient funds more smoothly, the city, which was already short of money, also gave a very large policy preference to Dezhou Urban Development Company... Not only did it give them the right to dispose of up to 5% of the fixed assets, but it also gave them the right to participate in some urban planning proposals.

As for the allocation of industrial land, since Dezhou Urban Development Company itself bears the responsibility of promoting the upgrading of local industries, the city also attaches great importance to their opinions... Especially as Yang Mo's voice in the city becomes more and more important, this situation has become more and more prominent.

Therefore, thanks to this, Li Yi, the minister who was originally only responsible for the management and appreciation of new fixed assets in urban construction, has gradually become qualified to make decisions on the arrangement and allocation of industrial land... There is no other way. Dezhou Urban Construction Company now has too many large projects, and this area of ​​business cannot be ranked at all. If a dedicated person is in charge, the adjustment of the organizational framework of such a public institution will be a very troublesome matter. Therefore, with Yang Mo's tacit consent, these tasks are simply handed over to the two city asset management departments.

But the problem is, if Li Yi only has a preference and care for new enterprises in the allocation of industrial land because of personal connections or some other reasons, and it can barely be considered a big or small matter in a semi-institutional and semi-administrative unit like Dezhou Urban Development Company, then his level of privately allocating industrial sites without approval is undoubtedly stepping on the high-voltage line.

Very simple...

"Environmental protection" has now become the most useful weapon used by Dezhou Urban Development Company and Dahua Company to blackmail various companies in the Dezhou area. In the past six months, Yang Mo has even been trying to put this knife on companies in other regions within the framework of the industrial manufacturing cooperation between Shandong, Henan and Hebei... If Yang Mo is not transferred, this knife will even be placed on the necks of various companies in the 20 aid-building cities during the process of industrial reconstruction in East China.

Its strategic role is of vital importance.

The classification of industrial land from M0 to M3 is a concept introduced from later generations by Yang Mo under the general framework of environmental protection in order to cope with various realities.

In simple terms:

M0 industrial land is mainly aimed at high-tech enterprises that do not cause any emissions and pollution and have a certain technological content, such as the digital economy and intelligent manufacturing in the future; today's medical research and development, seed breeding, data statistics center 1.0, software development, or financial asset companies.

M0 industrial land can be allowed to be set up in the main urban area, even in the city center and commercial center. Yang Mo can even acquiesce in these enterprises to a certain extent to be grafted into the commercial real estate economy, and to open up an implicit business model through the future appreciation of the land... From this we can see the great value of M0 industrial land (refer to Wenzhou’s first M0 industrial land in later generations, Wanyang Science and Technology City).

The M1 industrial land is suitable for most of the higher-standard production plants in later generations, such as electronics, sewing, and handicraft manufacturing, which are basically pollution-free and non-interference-generating enterprises.

Of course, the situation in later generations cannot be compared with the present. In today's era, in Texas, apart from some intangible cultural heritage handicraft production enterprises, the only ones eligible for M1 industrial land are various GMP factories... no matter they are worth millions or hundreds of thousands.

For M2 industrial land, the conditions are much more relaxed and can attract enterprises with certain emissions, such as cosmetics, food processing, light-pollution applied plastic products production, textile industry, etc.

But since there are emissions, these companies are required to have a certain pollution treatment capability of their own, that is to say, these companies must install professional sewage treatment equipment as required... Therefore, these M2 industrial lands are generally arranged on the edge of the main urban area.

As for the M3 industrial land, it is standard heavy industry land. Newly introduced high-emission, high-pollution, and high-interference enterprises such as chemical, papermaking, printing, electroplating, smelting, large and medium-sized machinery manufacturing, etc., according to the current standards in the Texas area, can only be approved for this type of industrial land.

This type of industrial land is not only far away from Dezhou's main urban area, but also requires more complete sewage treatment equipment and higher standards. There are also special environmental monitoring agencies in the local area that conduct random inspections from time to time. It can be said that the non-operating expenses of these companies are absolutely among the highest in the country. If DZ City had not become an economic town and a small industrial hub at the confluence of the three provinces of Shandong, Henan and Hebei, no company would spend money to suffer on the M3 industrial land here.

So, did you see it?
The grading policy for industrial land is not only a means for Yang Mo to force local industries to upgrade, but also a means to induce these companies to upgrade their industries.

There is a huge difference in value between M0~M3 industrial land. The land price in Texas has been rising uncontrollably driven by objective demand. If you want to enjoy the dividends brought by a wave of rising land prices, then first of all, you have to upgrade your industry!
Similarly, it is precisely because of this value difference that some people want to seek a breakthrough from Li Yi... For every acre of industrial land, the actual valuation and commercial conversion value after five years is at least more than 20 yuan.

No one is a fool, especially those Hong Kong companies that have experienced the super land rent economy.

Therefore, it becomes natural to try every possible means to obtain higher-level industrial land.

However, perhaps it was not a particularly fatal thing for Li Yi, the director of the Second Department of Urban Asset Management, to seek some benefits in private, but his mismatch of the levels of these industrial lands directly affected the implementation of Yang Mo's "environmental protection strategy", which was undoubtedly fatal.

The nature is different and the outcome is also different.

This kind of thing touched Yang Mo's weak spot, and it was brought up in front of him. Even if the gods behind him came forward, they would definitely not be able to save him, and they definitely did not have the courage to save him...It was less than two months since the Wei family incident.

………………

So, without any surprise, seeing Yang Mo rudely throwing the stack of information and evidence directly on the ground, Zhao Yongde directly asked the staff of the Discipline Inspection Office to help Li Yi, who was unable to stand steadily, down.
Then, under someone's calm gaze, he bitterly accused Li Yi of "abusing power, disrupting Dezhou's economic development order, and interfering with regional industrial upgrading", and told the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Office to take it seriously, and then actively coordinate with the city to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and form a formal document to report to the organization.

Seeing Zhao Yongde start to characterize the matter and even to submit a formal document to the organization, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine.

This leaves absolutely no way out. Once this matter is linked to industrial upgrading and large funds, and a formal document is submitted to the organization, there will really be no room for maneuver!

Obviously, this is the key to whether thousands of other companies can be effectively guided and restricted. Even if Li Yi's illegal operations were covert, Yang Mo should not have discovered it only now.

and so……

This was all premeditated!
Keenly aware of this, some people present were trembling with nervousness, like a group of fat pigs facing a catastrophe at the end of the year.

There was no way out. The boss in his house was so notorious that if he touched him, he would die, and if he was touched, he would be injured.

And considering his past generosity, Li Yi alone was obviously not enough to fill the gap, so at least half of the people in the field really didn't know whether they would be dragged out to be sacrificed today.

Yang Mo glanced at the rest of the people, and the smile on his face was like that of a devil who devours people's hearts three hundred times a day: "Cheng Yonggang!"

In the voice of someone calling out his name like a death warrant,

Another trembling figure stood up...
