Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1200 Too Tired

Du An'an said, "I think Xiao Wei has a point. If we're going to do something, we should do it well and make it big so that our elders can see. If our reputation isn't good, it'll be embarrassing."

Xiao Wei said, "In this society, you can't accomplish great things without someone behind you. None of us can change that, but we also can't cause trouble for those behind us. What do you think? If we act uprightly and do things properly in all aspects, and we also speak loudly behind others' backs, then we can last."

Several people nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Hui said, "We've come this far by being steady and upright over the past few years. Society is changing rapidly, the country is developing fast, and there are plenty of opportunities to make money. Why bother with other things when you can make money honestly and uprightly?"

It means working a little harder, doing some concrete tasks, and playing less. To be honest, it's good for you. I used to play all the time, but I've changed a lot. My family elders are happy, and I feel more comfortable.

I think that things obtained from others are only temporary, while things obtained through one's own efforts last a lifetime and are truly one's own. No matter where you go, you can speak loudly and show them off.

"You guys know more about what happened two years ago than I do, right? How were they doing? Weren't they more impressive than us? And what happened?"

Xiao Wei said, "The things that are popular in different places are different. Here, it seems to be fashionable to use official power to get things done, but it's really unnecessary. You have to pay back what you borrow; you can't keep taking advantage of others forever."

Wu Guolin said, "Those at the top who are more senior than us are all talking about reforming state-owned enterprises, or getting into real estate. We can get into real estate, so why should we give up on state-owned enterprises? This pie is not small."

Xiao Wei said, "There are plenty of ways to make money. It's impossible to do everything. Kanghua did it that way before, and look at the result. Besides, I'm not exaggerating. We all know what's going on and how state-owned enterprise reform works."

If you don't go with the flow, you'll offend a lot of people; if you do, you'll get tainted yourself. Why would I do something else, make money, and then get involved in this? It's so complicated. How many people and things are involved? Are you sure you can smooth things over and get everything done?

"I'm too tired. I'd rather spend that time with my wife and kids. And to be honest, I'm not really interested in this area. We're complete novices, and taking it over means starting from scratch. From HR to production to sales, it's really no different from starting a new business. The only advantage we're getting is by taking advantage of the government."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I'm not doing it. It's boring."

Chen Hui said to Du An'an, "When you have time, contact your dad and ask about the current policies regarding unfinished buildings. We can selectively take over some of them. Mainly in Haikou and Sanya, and we'll see about other places depending on the specific situation."

Du An'an said, "Okay, I'll call when I get back tonight. That area is the most troublesome right now. Although the municipal construction is also affected, it is the government's job after all, and they can still try to persevere. But there's really no way to deal with the real estate projects. My dad and his family are also having a headache. The amount of funds needed is too large. Nearly 100 billion yuan has been ruined."

Xiao Wei said, "We can't make any promises about this, and we don't have the authority to say anything. The main thing about the new company is to get things going on the two near-shore areas first, one step at a time, solving one problem at a time, understand?"

Du An'an nodded: "I understand, that's good. To be honest, these days people are lucky if they don't run away as soon as they hear about Hainan real estate. My dad went through so much trouble to bring a few companies over from Jibei, and the results were so-so."

Wu Guolin said, "There are a lot of people from Northeast China there now, all going there because of Uncle Du. There's no way around it, that attack over there was too brutal, and nobody from the south dares to go there."

Wang Lihua said, "Don't even mention the people from the south. How lively were those people in Kyoto before? They were the ones who started many things. Look behind those dead debts in the banks. Now ask them, who dares to go? What Xiaowei said makes sense. If we don't give them special privileges, they won't be able to take advantage of the country and everything will be ruined. They won't be able to get anything done."

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Do you want a temporary solution or a permanent one? Actually, if it weren't for the issue of power, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Liu Jiaming lit a cigarette and said, "That's true. How could someone become famous so quickly on their own? The land prices skyrocketed, it's terrifying to even hear about. In the end, so many people were wiped out. These people may be hiding and doing well now, but I guess they'll still have to settle scores later."

I think you can't make money recklessly. You should make money, not cause trouble. These people have gone a bit too far; they don't care about the local area's well-being at all. I'm working with Xiaowei and you guys because I think what you two say makes sense. I believe in that; it gives me peace of mind."

Chen Hui said, "You can make money just by doing things honestly. We started with tens of thousands of yuan, and now we have hundreds of millions. Nobody can say a word against us. They can find fault with us all they want, and if they do, they win."

Wu Guolin said, "Okay, let's settle it like this. I'll work with you guys from now on. Actually, not everyone is willing to take on any challenges. They want to do something real, but the key is that they don't know how to do it. Then, with a commotion from the subordinates, things change."

Take Kanghua, for example. Why was it doing so well at first? Why did it collapse later? It all came down to the mess things up at the bottom, with the higher-ups taking the blame. Some people only care about themselves and nothing else; there are quite a few of those.

Wang Lihua laughed and said, "I reckon that Kanghua, by the end, even the higher-ups don't know how many branches they have. It's really chaotic."

Xiao Wei said, "Forget it, other people's business is none of our concern. If you feel it's feasible, then hurry up and raise the money to get the company up and running, find a place to set up an office, and once you're ready here, we'll get started. An'an, don't forget to talk to Uncle Du tonight."

Chen Hui asked Xiao Wei, "What should we do here?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let Miler go there and register a company in Haikou. He can be the legal representative, and the three of us can be shareholders. Let him prepare five million, we'll contribute thirteen million, and then Guolin's company will go there and form a joint venture with the new company to register a real estate development company in Sanya."

You guys can discuss the company name. The registered capital is 2.67 million, with Guolin and his group holding 30% and us holding 70%. As for the legal representative, Guolin, you and Miler can discuss it. Xiaohui and I aren't suitable. We'll hire a general manager from outside to oversee the work.

Chen Hui nodded and said, "There are a lot of villa projects over there, should we go?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's pick two. We need accommodation for the staff. They should be close to the sea and have a good location in all aspects."
