Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 874 The Rational Liu Huasheng

Li Xing asked, "How much did it cost? I remember Rose is a three-star hotel, right? It's quite tall, about ten stories high, the tallest building on Zhongjie Street."

Xiao Wei said, "The package price is 60 million, including the Northern Trade City. We plan to close the Northern Trade City and convert it into a hotel package."

Huang Laowu chuckled and said to Liu Huasheng, "We still feel like we have some money now. Coming here has been too discouraging. We shouldn't have come, you know?"

Liu Huasheng asked Li Xing, "The restaurant, are you going to take it? That restaurant is alright, making a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand a year should be manageable."

Li Xing said, "It's fine to receive the order, but which of us has the time to deal with it?"

Huang Laowu said, "I have time, I'll take care of it. You two can go to work without worry. As for the shares, you two each get forty, and I'll take twenty, okay?"

Xiao Wei glanced at Huang Laowu with a smile. This kid is really smart, he seizes opportunities accurately, and he has a keen understanding of people's hearts. He's a good candidate to be put to good use in the future.

Liu Huasheng thought for a moment, glanced at Huang Laowu, and said, "Alright, if you're willing to move, then it's settled. We really don't have time."

Xiao Wei called his secretary over, who brought over a pen and paper. He wrote out an agreement by hand, and the four people signed and pressed their fingerprints on it. That was it.

Li Xing said, "I'm envious of that school; it's a real money-maker. It's a pity that if you quit, it'll all fall apart, and it won't be interesting anymore."

Xiao Wei said, "People are still learning to cook and make pastries, and they can still earn two or three hundred thousand yuan a year, or even more."

Li Xing shook his head and said, "It's not easy to find a master. You can invite famous people from Fengtian, but where are we supposed to find one? Forget it, Longcheng is too remote, a poor place with a small population."

Xiao Wei said, "Think it over. If you really don't want to work at the school anymore, I'll hand it back and terminate the contract with the labor bureau."

Liu Huasheng said, "Don't panic. Let me think about it, okay? This is too sudden. Give me some time to consider it."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, anytime before next spring. Most of the current employees over there have come to my side, so there aren't many costs involved."

Li Xing asked, "Is there only one sign left? If you've scraped it all off, what are we supposed to do?"

Xiao Wei said, "If you want to pick them up, I'll arrange for two experienced people to go with you."

Li Xing thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Huasheng and said, "To get a job, we need to find a teacher, accommodation, a place for internships, get the necessary permits, and a cafeteria. Do you think it's feasible?"

Liu Huasheng rubbed his forehead and said, "Indeed, forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore, it's too much trouble."

Huang Laowu thought for a moment and said, "Xiaowei, is there a problem with this part, teacher?"

Xiao Wei said, "There's no problem for now, but I can't guarantee anything. After all, this kind of thing can't be kept secret forever; sooner or later they'll find out and change the teacher. The current teacher is someone Xiao Hui's uncle calls him, so he has some influence."

Liu Huasheng said, "It would be good if you could just get the hotel, billiards hall, karaoke bar, and dance hall running smoothly. Don't try to do too much at once; we don't have enough resources."

Huang Laowu nodded.

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, then I'll close this stall and do you a favor."

Chen Hui pushed open the door and threw the brown paper bag containing the contract in front of Xiao Wei, saying, "One hundred and ten million. It will be handed over to us after the leveling is completed before spring tomorrow. I promised to transfer that one million to the account designated by Lao Hu. Anyway, we have to sign the demolition contract, so it's not a big deal. In fact, the demolition is still handled by the district, but the money will come from this one million, about two hundred thousand."

Xiao Wei asked, "Has Attorney Liang seen it?"

Chen Hui said, "No, he's not here. I went over just now. Maybe tomorrow." He turned to Li Xing and the others, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you call beforehand? This is quite a surprise!"

Huang Laowu asked, "What's this again? Over a hundred million?"

Xiao Wei said, "They said they'd build a building on the land in Zhongjie. The land there is expensive; it's the most expensive in Fengtian."

Huang Laowu asked, "How big is it? Building a house wouldn't require many acres of land, would it?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's a whole plot of land, over 100 mu. It's in the middle of four roads, with one side facing the main street."

Old Huang smacked his lips and said, "Why don't I just quit everything and come work for you guys? A little bit of money between my fingers would be enough to feed me for a lifetime. That sounds so exciting!"

Xiao Wei said, "There will be other opportunities later. There's no rush now. You should get things sorted out over there first."

Chen Hui asked, "When is Lao Xia coming back?"

Xiao Wei said, "Talk for an hour. By the way, I just heard that someone from the urban construction department is talking about Uncle Wang behind his back, saying that the houses aren't being allocated properly and that the leaders have taken several buildings or something. You should talk to Da Wei and Xiao Wu about it tomorrow, maybe have them call GG and help me sell those houses."

Chen Hui asked, "How much is the deposit?"

Xiao Wei said, "It must cost at least around 1,500, right?"

Chen Hui thought for a moment and said, "1500 to 1700, I'll ask someone knowledgeable tomorrow. Where should we eat tonight?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's go to a restaurant, let's go to the Huangcheng branch. We haven't eaten there since it opened. Let's invite Xiao Hong, Xiao Xiao, and Geng Hui, and after we eat, we can stroll around Zhongjie. They can stay at Rose Hotel tonight."

Chen Hui said, "That's feasible. Signing a contract right after taking over? Do you think the Hong Kong side will be happy about that?"

Xiao Wei said, "No need to sign the bill, just pay. Let's experience it and see how it goes." He turned to Li Xing and the other two and said, "You guys be careful, observe closely, and find fault with everything—the supplies, the hygiene, the environment, the food."

Li Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I'm good at this. You have to trust the eyes of a criminal investigator and their keen observation skills."

Chen Hui said, "Should we call Li Na and Sister Jin?" Li Na and Sister Jin lived here. At first, they lived in their respective office lounges, which was more comfortable than living in the dormitory. However, it was just the two of them, and they were a little scared. Later, the two of them went to the building across the street and occupied a two-bedroom apartment.

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can ask them. Anyway, they have nothing to do, and there's no point in them staying there."

Li Xing said, "Hey, can you find a way to transfer me here? It's boring staying over there."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "What are you doing here? Going to the criminal investigation team?"

Li Xing said, "Yes, where else can we go? The criminal police force is still in its early stages and lacks professional talent. I heard that in the future, the criminal police force will become an independent professional police force, under vertical management."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to transfer here, to be honest. But you should think it over carefully. You're not a cadre, so you'll just be a low-level soldier here. If you stay in Longcheng, you might have a better chance of rising through the ranks, since it's a smaller place with fewer people."

Li Xing said, "What's missing? The place may be small, but there are plenty of people. In fact, the smaller the place, the more people value personal relationships, and there are more things to do there than here."

Xiao Wei said, "Think it over carefully. Once you've made up your mind, tell me. There's no going back on this. You'd better discuss it with your family. This isn't a small matter, and it can't be said to be just your responsibility alone."

Li Xing said, "Of course I'm happy to be able to come to Fengtian. Isn't this like moving to the city? My household registration and everything will be here from now on. What could I possibly be unhappy about? Right?"
