A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 298 No Time to Dawdle
Demolition is an art, and accidents are commonplace.

What happens outside the gate has nothing to do with the farm.

But they couldn't escape it; this time, the farm was really dragged into the mess.

The problem is both simple and complex. It's simple because one of the businesses involved is related to the farm, and the son is a farm employee and a key figure. It's complex because the land outside the East Second Gate was previously wasteland.

The nature of the land has not been determined at all.

Merchants have a variety of channels for acquiring land and building houses.

There wasn't even a piece of paper written down; in short, the operation was not standardized.

There are usually no problems.

However, if the county wants to build a cultural town, the land will have to be reclaimed.

This is a problem.

Land issues have always been complex, so I won't go into detail here. I'll just talk about the demolition issue. Most businesses have reached an agreement, but a few have not been able to reach one. One of them is a shop owned by a farm worker, who is asking for 300,000 yuan.

Due to the nature of the land, the county only provides the construction cost price.

They haven't been able to reach an agreement yet.

The farm's employees even approached the leaders, hoping the farm would back them up and ask for more money. The county also gave instructions for the farm to do a good job of dealing with the employees. But the employees weren't stupid; they wouldn't get involved in such a mess, so they simply ignored it.

Problems arose when the demolition team arrived.

……

The farm's main conference room.

"What's going on? I told you to do your job, what are you doing?"

Boss Zhu was furious, slamming his fist on the table in anger.

The farm's senior management all kept their heads down and remained silent.

This matter originally had little to do with the farm.

But the ones leading the charge were farm workers, so there was no way to avoid it.

When Jiang Ning arrived, the meeting had already ended.

After asking about the meeting's content, I had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

This is not his fault at all. Since it was a meeting to reprimand people, it's normal not to wait for him. It's an opportunity.

That's a good opportunity to escape.

We discussed how to handle the employees involved, and then went to the scene to take a look. It had been cordoned off, and there were hats everywhere.

I went to the county and had a chat with Boss Zhu.

Boss Zhu finally found a breakthrough and said, "The farm's management is not doing its job, it's time for a change."

Jiang Ning nodded: "The county can make the adjustments as they see fit; I have no objections."

Mr. Zhu responded with an "oh," sounding quite surprised.

Are you that easy to talk to?

I'm thinking about it.

Jiang Ning added, "There's something else I'll mention as well. Secretary Zhu should know about how the Second Farm was established, right?"

Boss Zhu nodded: "I've heard about it from others."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I had always planned to retire after achieving my goals. In the past two years, I have spent most of my time outside and haven't had much time or energy to take care of family matters. I am planning to sell my shares in the second market. Does the county have any ideas?"

Boss Zhu's eyelids twitched: "How do you plan to make a move?"

Jiang Ning said, "If the county takes it on, then let the county take it on. If the county doesn't want it, I'll find an agency to take it over."

Boss Zhu asked, "Is it valuable?"

Jiang Ning said, "Ten billion should be no problem."

Mr. Zhu said, "The county can't come up with that much money."

Jiang Ning said, "If the county accepts it, it's a free gift. Just give me the interest rate calculated on the initial investment when the farm was built."

Boss Zhu was taken aback: "Given away for free?"

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded: "Yes, I don't need that much money. I'd be happy to see the county develop well."

Boss Zhu was still a little incredulous: "Really giving it away for free?"

Jiang Ning confirmed: "Yes, it's free."

Boss Zhu was still a little incredulous; how could there be such a person in the world?

Perhaps it exists in legends, but he has never actually seen it in reality.

After chatting for a while, I saw Jiang Ning off. I immediately convened a meeting of the team to report the situation.

The second boss replied: "I think there's no problem. I've been through how the second farm was established. Their business is focused outside, so they don't need this little bit of money. I can understand giving it away to the county for free."

Mr. Zhu said, "This is not a small amount; it's at least several billion."

The second boss said, "Boss Jiang isn't short of money, and he hasn't transferred any assets."

Mr. Zhu arrived late and didn't know much about the situation, so he asked, "How much overseas asset does Mr. Jiang actually have?"

The second boss said, "I don't know. I estimate he has a lot of assets. From what I've heard, Boss Jiang has bought at least a million acres of farms outside, and he also has gold mines in Africa. His assets are definitely much larger than the second farm."

"So you're saying it's really being given away for free?"

“It should be possible.”

Boss Zhu had no choice but to believe it, saying, "Jiang Ning is going to Greece tomorrow. We'll discuss this matter when he returns."

Everyone nodded in agreement, their minds starting to race.

Boss Jiang holds half of the shares in the Second Farm, which is a huge asset. Even if the valuation is not accurate, the fixed assets of the Second Farm alone are worth billions. Such a large asset is given to the county for free.

There is too much room for maneuver.

As for whether the world will keep turning without Boss Jiang, nobody cares.

……

The next day.

Jiang Ning and Feng Yufei went to Guiyang.

After resting for a night, Lu Jingwei also flew over.

He also brought a female employee, but it wasn't Wang Ting, whom he had met in Ludong.

After having a meal together, Lao Lu took Feng Yu and the female employee to the mountainous area for an inspection.

Jiang Ning then completed the exit procedures and flew to Greece.

The land procedures have been completed, and development work has been put on the agenda.

Jiang Ning spent some time socializing and meeting with a group of political figures before flying to Agrafa.

This is a small town, and Seville rented a small building as his office.

I was busy for a week, interviewing a manager and hiring a few employees.

Let's set up the framework for now, and then discuss the specific work details.

Seville had a plan made and brought it out for discussion.

Jiang Ning listened for a while and thought the plan was quite good. It included both long-term and short-term plans. The long-term plan focused on tree species with slower growth cycles, while the short-term plan focused on tree species with faster growth cycles that could generate profits.

For example, eucalyptus trees grow incredibly fast.

It grows faster than a poplar tree.

In many places back home, planting is prohibited, but Greece has not banned it.

It is the most ideal economical type of timber.

The construction period was a bit long, spanning five years.

Jiang Ning was not satisfied: "The construction period is too long. Change it to three years. It must be completed in three years."

One of the managers said, "Boss, that's impossible."

Jiang Ning asked, "Why is it impossible?"

The person in charge said, "Road construction, irrigation systems, and logistical support facilities all take time."

"Can't it be completed in a year?"

"How can it be completed in a year?"

Jiang Ning said, "I invited you here to solve problems, not to give me problems. If you feel you can't do it, you can resign."

The person in charge immediately fell silent.

The Greeks are notoriously lazy.

In fact, it's the same all over Europe.

Jiang Ning didn't want to treat people like cattle. He could abide by the Western labor system and take holidays when he was supposed to, but he couldn't stand dawdling and couldn't tolerate procrastination. It was just planting trees, not some difficult project.

If you leave it in your hometown, it will be gone in a year.

Three years is already slow, and these guys actually want to drag it out for five years.

The uncle could tolerate it, but Boss Jiang couldn't.
