Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 458 Negotiation?

Some people are like that.

Regardless of the reason, they just play with power. When power fails, they rely on connections. When connections fail, they feign grievance and appeal to sentiments. They are unreasonable.

When they're successful, they don't care whether you live or die; when they're down on their luck, they demand that you care whether they live or die, otherwise it's against all reason.

It's perfectly natural for them to take advantage of others, but if they can't, or if you take advantage of them even a little, they're immediately considered morally bankrupt and utterly wicked.

In short, it's wrong to do things that don't conform to their worldview.

Their worldview is that they must get the benefits.

Principal Sun sat there thinking for a while, then stood up, straightened his clothes, hurriedly left the office, looked around at the door, and strode towards the school-run factory.

Xiao Wei said, "Although I haven't stayed in Fengtian for very long, I can still feel the development of Fengtian. In the past two years, the speed of development from urban construction to commerce has been getting faster and faster. After all, this is the provincial capital. And to be honest, Fengtian has actually exceeded the scope of the provincial capital. This is the center of Northeast China. How can its development be slow?"

Don't let this desolate area fool you; look at the area near the bridge, look how developed it is! This place will probably be completed in about six months, so we need to get all the paperwork done and clarify all the details, otherwise, we'll definitely run into trouble later. We're human after all; if things get muddled in the end, it'll be hard to say what will happen.

Chen Hui said, "I feel the same way. It's not just this area; I think the whole of Fengtian will change drastically in a few years. Do you know how many transformers have been installed from the year before last to this year? How much has electricity consumption increased? This is the most obvious thing. Development requires electricity."

Xia Maosheng said, "From what you two have said, I get the feeling that we'll lose money if we don't get some land here."

Chen Hui said, "If it really works, I think we could buy more land, build houses, and sell them. Look at Riverside Garden, they've built so many houses. Aren't you going to buy some too? They cost several thousand yuan per square meter. How much profit would that make? Once the welfare housing program stops, won't everyone have to buy their own houses?"

Xiao Wei looked at Principal Sun, who was walking out of the school-run factory, and said, "It's probably not going to work out now. Let's wait a few more years and see. Ordinary people don't have much money right now. Many factories and units are still distributing housing. Building houses is only for rich people to buy. How many rich people can afford?"

Sun, the school principal, approached, smoothed his hair, and said with a smile, "I called the former principal and the Education Commission to confirm, and this area is indeed not within the allocated land. However, no one has come looking for it in the past few years. We reported it as unclaimed wasteland, which led to this misunderstanding. How about this? I'll move the school-run factory area, but the school buildings and boiler area really can't be demolished. If they are, the students won't be able to attend classes."

As Principal Sun spoke, he glanced at the two cars and got a general idea of ​​what was going on; these people weren't short of money.

Xiao Wei looked at Principal Sun and said, "Weren't you happy when I first told you? Now that everyone's here, forget it, let's take the measurements first. Your factory is definitely going to move, so if the electricity's cut off, so be it. Let's finish the measurements first and then talk about it."

Principal Sun said, "No, I admit we took your land, but isn't that the reality? It's been used for several years now, and it's not something you can just change overnight. Besides, there's no other place to go. You three seem like big spenders, okay? I'll move this part and give it to you, but you don't need this part. It's not that big, and it's not worth much."

The sound of a car approached, and a yellow electric work vehicle drove up. Chen Hui went to meet it.

As soon as the car stopped, a big guy jumped out, punched Chen Hui, and said, "Where did you make this? Which part did you remove?"

Chen Hui pointed to a small transformer leaning against the wall of the school's factory by the dirt road and said, "This is it. My area is going to be demolished and rebuilt, and this is in the way. Brothers, please take care of this. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

The big guy looked around and said, "No big deal, I'll finish in half an hour. I couldn't find any information on this transformer, so I guess the school got it installed themselves. Just consider it an illegal structure." He waved his hand and said, "Get to work, get to work. Xiao Dong, go in and take a look and let them know. Xiao Li, go check where the wires are coming from. Gangzi, Gangzi, call the local power management office and let them know."

The people on the bus got off, received their assignments, and went about their own business. The big guy asked, "What are you planning to do with this land? It's so desolate here. We don't even come here unless it's absolutely necessary. It's hard to even find a place to eat here."

Chen Hui pointed at Xiao Wei and said, "Xiao Wei, Lao Xia, is my buddy. This is Da Liu, also a buddy. Xiao Wei, Lao Xia, and I have run a few businesses, made a little money, and are planning to build our own house here, and then move the factory over. In a few days, when it's almost done, we'll need to call you over to install the equipment, as the electricity consumption here is quite high."

Xiao Wei and Xia Maosheng shook hands with Da Liu, who said, "It's no big deal, just give me a call later. What factory is it?"

Xiao Wei said, "Food factories, ovens and such, are all high-power equipment."

Da Liu patted his pants a few times with his gloves and said, "Okay, just let me know in advance, and I'll bring a 380-unit truck directly from the substation to install a separate transformer."

Xiao Li ran back and said, "Brother Liu, this transformer is still connected to the neighborhood committee over there. There are no permits or forms, how do we calculate it?"

Da Liu took the cigarette Xiao Wei offered and said, "Smash it. Make them reapply. These guys down here are just a bunch of idiots, damn it."

Chen Hui said, "The building where the neighborhood committee is located is also mine. This time, I'll get the wiring all set up right away and install a separate meter."

Principal Sun came over and asked, "Comrade, will your dismantling of the transformer affect the electricity supply to my school? The children are still in class."

Xiao Wei said, "This is Principal Sun of the school."

Da Liu said, "We'll only know after it's taken down. Don't you guys know what you were doing in the first place? This transformer was installed illegally; that's serious electricity theft, you know? How can your school do things like this? Don't you know you're paying for electricity?"

Principal Sun gave an awkward laugh and said, "I took over later, so I don't know much about the original situation. There are electricity meters in the school, and the electricity bills are paid on time. How could we steal electricity? It's not a good thing to do."

Another car drove up, a Jinbei van.

Five men in suits got out and looked around. The leader asked, "Who is Zhang Wei?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, that's me. You're from the Urban Construction Bureau, right? I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Da Liu knew the newcomer and greeted him, "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Ge nodded to Da Liu and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Da Liu pointed at Chen Hui, Xiao Wei, and the others and said, "Hey guys, come over and lend a hand."

Once he could distinguish friend from foe, Brother Zhang spoke more naturally. He patted Da Liu on the shoulder and said to Xiao Wei, "Director Wang will be here in a bit. He wants us to take some measurements first. Where are the blueprints?"

Xiao Wei took out the land deed and handed it to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang took it, looked it over, and then looked around and said, "Do we even need to measure this? You can see it with your eyes. This is quite a lot of land; it's almost two acres. Liu, come here, the foundation piles are over there. Take the blueprints and let's get to work."

Xiao Wei said, "The key area is the school. There's a bit of a misunderstanding with the school now. In other places, Engineer Wang from the construction company has measured the area and driven the piles." He pointed to the group of construction company workers who were busy on the other side.

Principal Sun walked over to Xiao Wei and said, "Xiao Zhang, shall we discuss this again?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's measure it first. We need solid evidence to back up our words and actions, right?"
