Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 866 Rapid Changes

Xiao Wei said, "Isn't the factory here? Don't they pay taxes?"

Chen Hui said, "That's how it is, but it's definitely not pleasant to be around. Won't it be awkward when we meet again?"

Xiao Wei said, "Then what should we do? Agree to them? I might as well have agreed to the district chief yesterday; at least it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't get punished."

Chen Hui thought for a moment and said, "How about I go talk to them again tomorrow, and we can lay everything out on the table and make things clear, okay?"

Xiao Wei said, "Okay. Anyway, I definitely can't agree to this condition. If he does this once, he'll be even more demanding next time. Heping should also go and ask. I feel that the location of the bay below Sanhao is better than this place, and the river is wider there, which looks more comfortable." Xiao Wei walked in front of the map and pointed at it as he spoke to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui got up and leaned closer to the map, looking at the places Xiao Wei pointed out. After comparing the two sides, he nodded and said, "Indeed, this side would look much prettier. Actually, we could build a garden-style community with water features, trees, flowers, fountains, villas, high-rises, and gatekeepers." He clapped his hands: "Absolutely unbeatable!"

Xiao Wei said with a smile, "We can talk to the district and see if they have any plans for it. We can do the park project together, and if it turns out well, we can save on land costs and even make a profit."

Chen Hui said, "How about we just build a theme park? And install some amusement rides?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm impressed by your tendency to believe everything you hear. Why don't you go and manage it?" Xiao Wei slumped onto the sofa, stretched his legs out far, and comfortably yawned, saying, "I said build a park, they have their own plans, we'll do the construction, understand? We'll design it, start construction together, and we can borrow some scenery. You, haha, a theme park? What theme are you going to come up with? You're going to oversee it?"

Chen Hui kicked Xiao Wei's leg and said, "I just misheard, what are you so smug about? What's wrong with running a park? It's just hiring someone to collect entrance fees, right?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's fine for the government to do it, but it's not for us. Not only will we lose money, but it's not something that private individuals can operate."

Chen Hui said, "So you mean you want Dean Cheng and the others to design the park and our residential area as one entity? That's really feasible; it would enhance the area considerably, and the price would go up. If we sell for even more than the riverside area, wouldn't that cause a sensation?"

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "They're a Singaporean company, so they sell in US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. They're very international. We should just keep quiet and make our money. What's the point of trying to steal their thunder?"

Chen Hui said, "That's true. Will all the villas in the center be sold by then? Will a few be left? I feel that living there would be quite comfortable. Sitting upstairs, looking at both sides of the river, with its green hills and clear waters, and maybe even building a small dock and letting a few small boats drift on the river, it would be wonderful."

Xiao Wei said, "Why bother with all that trouble? Just build a small building in a suitable location, not too tall, three stories, with the top half being a terrace, like a rooftop garden. It can take up a lot of space, enough for all of us to stay and have fun. We can all come and stay for a few days when we have nothing to do."

Chen Hui sat up straight, looked at Xiao Wei and said, "Then why not just build a hotel? We can eat, stay, and play. I think it'll work."

Chen Hui laughed and said, "Then why are you building houses to sell? Even you think they're damp."

Xiao Wei laughed, shook his head, and said, "We shouldn't be damp in Northeast China. We don't have time to be damp."

The next day, Chen Hui rushed to Heping again, now interested in building a hotel there.

I received several calls from Dongling, but Chen Hui said he was researching it and had a lot of things to do, so he kept putting them off. It really felt like they weren't very sincere, since no one even came.

The leaders of the agricultural zone and the commercial zone do have different ideas and goals. Heping immediately arranged for people to conduct research along the Hun River and organized two seminars with professionals from various fields on the development of the Hun River to explore the possibilities and prospects of commercial development along the Hun River.

The Hunhe River section in Heping is already very close to Sanhao Street, less than two kilometers from the east gate of Northeast Institute of Technology, which is the National Computer Industrial Park. Like the Dongling area, the area south of Shenshui Road is a wasteland. At this time, there is enough space in the city, and no one is paying attention to the riverbank.

The only developed area south of Shenshui Road is the Wulihe Stadium, a small area. Even the Riverside Garden is actually north of Shenshui Road, not by the river.

However, the Wulihe area, from the Marriott Hotel to the Riverside Garden, is now very prosperous and has become the southern gateway to Fengtian.

From Riverside Garden eastward to the border of Dadong District, which is where Xiaowei lives, the area in between belongs to Dongling District. Apart from Nanta Market and the abandoned Dongta Airport, there is nothing else; it is mostly an agricultural area.

The Dongta Airport area, including Institute 606, is under the Air Force's control and has little to do with the local area.

The Dadong and Dongling areas house China's largest aircraft engine research, design, and production plant, as well as military aircraft manufacturing plants, design institutes, and airports, but they have no connection to the local area and occupy a vast area. However, although the factories are unrelated to the local area, the workers live there, greatly promoting the local commercial development.

Unfortunately, neither of these two districts seized such a good opportunity, and their development remained lukewarm. Dadong was actually better off than Dongling. If it weren't for the government's relocation to the south and the establishment of the high-tech industrial development zone, Dongling could have been the poorest of all the districts, even worse than Tiexi.

Everything he had came about by chance, like it fell from the sky. Take Nanta Shoe City, for example, the largest shoe distribution center in the country. It all appeared out of nowhere; the locals spontaneously formed the market, and then it was built under the city's guidance, along with an electronics market. Almost all of Fengtian's major markets formed spontaneously.

A few days later, Chen Hui and Heping had entered into formal contact and started discussing specific land development issues when Xiao Wei suddenly received a call from the district head.

"Haha, Chairman Zhang, I have some good news for you. Starting next month, your headquarters and the 606 Institute will all be transferred here. Haha, we're all family now, so don't take any good things to other places."

"Huh?" Xiao Wei was a little confused: "You've already glided over here? You're amazing, that was fast!"

The district chief laughed and said, "No, no, how could that be? It's the Fengkong area, including the 606th Research Institute. It starts from Fumin Street, goes all the way to Quanyuan Street, then down to Changchun Street, then up to Jiangdong Street to Wanlian Road, then turns onto Lianhua Street and up to the Grand Canal, then along the zoo and back to Wanquan Road. That's all there is to it. Up from the zoo, it belongs to Dadong, and south of the 606th Research Institute is Dongling."
