My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 386 My Lord Wants to Make the Green Dragon Crescent Blade
Wei Dong chuckled awkwardly as he got up, teasing the guy for not letting anyone slack off for a bit, before finally putting on a composed expression and driving to the post office to make a long-distance call.

The four clever devils were all staring at him out of the corner of their eyes, while the two plucked-out idiots continued to chuckle.

When Li Erfeng mentioned that it was Shen Cuiyue who called, it sounded a bit suspicious.

Normally, she only manages the personnel and miscellaneous affairs of the sanitary napkin factory. Even the shipping, transportation, and collection of payments are all handled by Dong Xueying, so theoretically she doesn't touch the money.

But in reality, she often kept in touch with the branch offices in various places, especially the provincial branches that were spun off from the Seven Sons of Heijing.

Wei Dong felt that it was similar to the disciplinary inspection line, so it was worth investigating.

It seems that Shen Laosan deliberately bypassed Dong Xueying, the lady in charge of money, grain, and transportation, to secretly carry out his plan.

It's like turning the Eastern Depot into the Eastern Palace.

It's still so small, and we haven't even seen it make much money yet, so why are we already starting to build up our own factions?

He tried his best to sound sophisticated when answering the phone, but his age was a factor, and he was clearly trying to suppress a laugh: "That guy surnamed Wu went along the Yangtze River provinces like Shangzhou and Echang to check the accounts of the provincial sales companies, and when he got to Shanghai, he found that the accounts had been altered."

Wei Dong tried to appear nonchalant, but also a bit naive: "How much can be moved? The accounts over there will eventually be consolidated into the trading company. If the amount is short, it will have been discovered long ago."

Shen Cuiyue immediately chuckled: "Discover? If I took the money I handled and used it to make a profit, then quietly returned the principal, do you think that country bumpkin would notice?"

Shangzhou was formerly officially called Shangxian County. After it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, calling it Shangxian City felt a bit strange, so it was changed to Shangzhou.

This term is very discriminatory.

Wei Dong immediately cursed, "What kind of shouting is that?! Do you believe I'll beat you up when we get back?!"

Old Man Shen was shameless: "Do whatever you want, Master. I'm just reminding you not to believe everything she says. She has no common sense and spouts nonsense. You'll be fooled without even realizing it. I can definitely tell she's just being eloquent when she's with you."

These four words were like a code, making Wei Dong surprisingly realize that he wasn't angry at all: "Alright, alright, what exactly happened? Are there any traces? Was it a long-distance call?"

He earns hundreds of thousands a day, why would he care about such a small long-distance call fee?

Shen Cuiyue then explained succinctly: "The biggest source of income for Shanghai Company is titanium ingots. Starting in the second half of last year, it was three tons, four tons, and by the end of the year it was five tons per month. Hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash were being held in the accounts for longer and longer. Xiao Wu immediately felt there was a problem and started checking the details. These payments are usually made to non-ferrous metal plants upon delivery, but the branch company was able to delay payment for almost a month after the Spring Festival this year. Basically, they only returned the money to the company when it reached the limit. There's definitely something fishy going on. When you ask, they'll only tell you what they're talking about."

It was quite a coincidence that Wu Shengyun was the one sent out.

He started as a salesman at a young age and was exceptionally sensitive to fund allocation, and was extremely familiar with all the tricks of business dealings.

That's how you can spot a problem from the slightest clue.

Wei Dong paused for two seconds: "Who did he contact?"

Shen Cuiyue knew perfectly well: "They're gone, they've left cleanly. What kind of level is that college graduate you sent over? He took over as branch manager and didn't even notice the problems. In the end, it was her parents who did the financial handover. Old Zhang even suggested that he could be in charge of foreign trade. Haha, I heard from Xiaoyu that starting this month, there are $2.2 million in foreign trade every month? They're quite perceptive, aren't they? They're still making money off their family even after they're gone!"

Wei Dong finally lost his temper: "Stop talking!"

Shen Cuiyue, spoiled and arrogant, was not afraid at all: "Even if you beat me to death, I will still say it, sir, what are women? You can pass through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal sticking to you. You are an extraordinary person who attends meetings with the prime minister in the imperial court and plays ball with ordinary people in the countryside. Why would you care about such trivial matters? Don't take it to heart at all. These women are just whetstones. You are going to become a great person with a Green Dragon Crescent Blade!"

fantastic.

When I first sent Wei Dong back from Shanghai, I was already harboring a grudge.

It was all smoothed over by Shen Cuiyue's single sentence.

Now I feel inexplicably relaxed, instantly returning to the feeling I had half an hour ago when I was leisurely lying on the lawn under the tree.

He laughed again: "Alright, alright, don't talk nonsense like that. Sister Dong won't feel comfortable if she hears it. She already cares about some things. I understand. Since there's no problem with the accounts, it's not a big deal."

Shen Cuiyue instructed, "You need to go and nip this in the bud. Xiao Wu isn't a good person either, but he's still somewhat capable. If you let him get away with it, he'll think that I also have a chance to cause trouble, and next time it'll be his turn to pull something. You need to go and kill him as soon as possible to make him pay for it. Only then will he be willing to be your dog, and I won't have to keep an eye on him all the time. It's exhausting. Right now, I still have to appease your concubine..."

Wei Dong burst out laughing: "Bullshit, bullshit, I know, I'll come over as soon as I'm done here!"

Shen Cuiyue hummed and said, "Only someone who's after you would be so eager to send themselves to bed. I'm just waiting for you."

Wei Dong quickly hung up the phone.

Is the honey trap starting again?

However, Shen Cuiyue did remind Wei Dong about this matter. In addition to the first batch of 5,000 pairs of jeans for trial sales, another 20,000 pairs were sent over, and this month, 50,000 pairs will be sent regularly.

That means Japan alone would bring in one million US dollars every month.

Previously, Wei Dong didn't ask Qin Yuye many questions, after all, he had boasted that he wouldn't be after her money, only that he would use foreign exchange to buy chips and then exchange it for cash in China as compensation.

After returning to the mainland, the Hong Kong girl casually mentioned that there was actually a review process for foreign exchange remittances coming back from the mainland, and that the process was currently stuck.

So, the first 5,000 pairs of jeans received cash and were used to buy chips. The first batch of sea freight should have arrived by now, but the remaining 20,000 pairs haven't received payment yet.

This made Wei Dong realize that he really should go to Shanghai to sort out the situation.

So I left after the project went on sale.

It happened very quickly, so quickly that even Wei Dong was surprised.

He also relayed the exact time on the basketball court, and then remembered to hire an architect to lead the way in drawing large-format hand-drawn renderings and floor plans, which were then pasted onto the walls using construction bamboo strips. But the most direct impact was probably achieved by the architect, who, along with the old Taoist priest invited down from the mountain, decorated and built a model apartment according to his requirements.

Li Erfeng's house.

She must have visited Jiangzhou several times this year, and Shen Cuiyue even took her to visit the apartment where Qin Yuye and Qin Yuye lived.

When these three buildings were sold, she only wanted a corner unit on the ground floor.

Now it's perfect to decorate it as a showroom.

The original intention was to show the newly handed-over homeowners how beautiful their new homes could be, so they wouldn't just live in a plain and unremarkable place for the rest of their lives.

This is my own home, not some public housing where I have to move around all the time and do whatever I want with it.

Perhaps it was this mentality of not doing renovations when renting a house that led to the fact that home decoration was practically nonexistent in China 70 or 80 years ago.

When a new house is handed over, the walls are painted, the floor is leveled with cement or terrazzo, and basic plumbing and electrical work is done; you can move in right away.

The Jiangzhou Liujin Decoration Company, led by Lao Zhang, mainly focuses on commercial decoration, such as hotels, restaurants, and offices.

There is almost no market for home decoration.

As a result, it became the best advertisement for the new housing development, attracting people from all over the city to visit.

Early in the morning, experienced citizens lined up in droves in the service hall on the first floor of the industrial park office building, even before the doors opened.

It coiled up so densely, like a greedy snake.

Wei Dong, being a seasoned security guard, was very familiar with the procedures and had two thousand phone number cards prepared in advance.

From the moment they start work, they hand out cards and registration forms for us to fill out in advance.

Name, address, company, contact information, and desired housing type. There is no option to select a housing type; it's just a simple mimeographed pre-purchase form with two copies.

Paying 100 yuan constitutes a successful pre-purchase. Within the next two weeks, you will formally sign a purchase contract with the bank and Beijiaochang Urban Development Co., Ltd., process a loan agreement, and pay a 20% down payment.

That is, a brick-concrete house costs 2,000 yuan, and an apartment with an elevator costs 6,000 yuan. The subsequent monthly payments are 46 yuan and 116 yuan respectively.

Empty seconds!

In particular, of the more than 700 brick-concrete residential units, more than 200 were purchased with cash!

This is because only those with public office can get a loan for an apartment with an elevator, and it's quite difficult to raise 30,000 yuan for the full payment. Otherwise, these people would definitely compete with civil servants for the opportunity to make a down payment of 6,000 yuan.

Because a significant portion of the buyers came from the towns and cities of the eight or nine counties under Shangzhou!
For over a year, towns and cities have been open to the economic market, allowing individuals to legally register as self-employed business owners. You Qili was considered a pioneer in this field, but his arrest delayed his progress by about a year.

Many people make money quietly and without fanfare, especially a significant number of vendors who source their goods from the Beijiaochang Free Market to resell.

What I'm looking for is this opportunity to legitimately buy a house and become a resident of Shangzhou.

Even though they are pioneers who have surpassed ordinary people, they are still limited by their mindset and vision. They dare not develop in Jiangzhou or the provincial capital. They feel that they have reached the pinnacle of life if they can get into a prefecture-level city.

Settling down here, my children can go to school in a prefecture-level city, and I can do business in the county and rural areas of the prefecture-level city. It's simply the perfect life!
If he hadn't gone to sell cured meat and hadn't chosen to curry favor with You Qili, this would likely have been the most conventional route for Wei Dong to return to this world.

These people frequent the free market, believing that it's a place where they can make money, and living next door is simply a matter of course.

If you can't provide proof of income, then try to scrape together as much money as possible to buy it in full.

Then the factory is where the remaining 500-plus units were purchased with loans.

More than five months have passed since the last sale of the house. Many employees have been saving money diligently, scrimping and saving, waiting for this moment.

Two thousand yuan is definitely not a difficult amount for sanitary napkin factory workers, whose average salary is now around three hundred yuan.

They are the group that never even considered welfare housing allocation. Now they can finally own a house, become true city dwellers, and have a stable job and income.

This power is absolutely amazing.

Almost all the dual-income couples in the factories came to join the queue, and the first three or four hundred people were all dual-income couples from the sanitary napkin factory and the food factory.

Then, half of the more than 600 apartments with elevators were snapped up by families of civil servants from the district and county!
Over the past thirty or forty years, no matter how turbulent the situation has been, or how famines have occurred, there have always been some families in a dozen or so districts and counties who are deeply rooted in the community. Even if they haven't made any money, they have various connections that allow them to quickly recover. It's not difficult for them to raise 6,000 yuan with the support of their families.

This is a golden opportunity to develop into a prefecture-level city.

Then there were more than ten individual business owners who paid 30,000 yuan in full.

Therefore, in the end, less than 300 units were reserved for government agencies, teachers, doctors and other enterprises and institutions in Shangzhou City.

The local civil servants, who had assumed they would have no trouble buying things, were utterly astonished.

Even later, there was a disapproval and a jeering.

This forced Wei Dong to announce the hidden surprise and delight ahead of time.
