Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 957 is for you.

Commander Hu said, "That's fine. You can have this piece of land between our institute and the police academy. You pay 100,000 yuan, and this land is yours. You can decide whether to rebuild or use it. It'll be perfect for us to use as a fence, so that this old guy won't always be taking up my land."

Xiao Wei asked, "How big is it?"

Commander Hu said, "You see for yourself. There's a railing on his side and a wall on mine. It's winding and twisting. Old Zheng, you have a side gate behind here, right? Right up to the gate, there's a wall on my side, and some places without walls but with trees. Just fence it off and seal off that gate. That's how it'll be done."

The old dean nodded and said, "That's fine. This door on my side is also locked; no one goes through it."

Xiao Wei asked, "Who owned this land before? Can we get a property ownership certificate?"

Commander Hu said, "It's our land. Their college uses our land. I'll handle the paperwork for you; the local authorities have no jurisdiction here."

Xiao Wei said, "That's fine, let's do it then. I'll call someone to send the money over."

Commander Hu said, "Are you going to rebuild it or just make do with what you have? If you're going to make do, I'll call a few people over to fix it."

Xiao Wei said, "Let me see what it looks like and think about how to use it."

The old director said, "He has construction soldiers in his institute. You can plan it out, give them some money, and they'll build it for you quickly and well."

Xiao Wei turned to look at Commander Hu: "You can even do this in this weather?"

Commander Hu laughed and said, "What's this weather? It's not even cold yet. Even if it gets cold, we can still cover ourselves up. When it comes to fighting, we don't wait for the weather."

Xiao Wei called Chen Hui and asked him to send 100,000 yuan. After hanging up, he said, "I also got a piece of land from the military region in Xingcheng and built a house there. It was built by the military region's infrastructure department. The main structure is nearly 130 meters high and covers 24 mu (approximately 1.6 hectares). It's already finished, and I'll go to take possession of it in a few days. Commander Hu, can you build this kind of building here?"

Commander Hu looked up at the sky and said, "One hundred and thirty? That's really high. I've never done that before. Where do you want to build it? I'll go and learn from your experience and get you thoroughly familiar with the job. In our unit, we mean what we say. If we say we'll do it well, we'll do it well. You can rest assured."

Xiao Wei said, "I have more than 100 mu of land in Zhongjie, which is being demolished. I also acquired more than 2,000 mu in Shenshui Bay and more than 400 mu in the city center of Bingcheng. Construction will begin on all of them next year. I plan to have Xingcheng take over the Bingcheng project, as they have experience. We haven't found suitable people here yet."

Commander Hu patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder, almost making him sit down, and laughed, saying, "We, we're here. If you told someone else, I'd go to your office and cause a scene. We've booked it. This land is yours. Come on, let's sign the contract."

Commander Hu pulled Xiaowei forward, saying, "You can have the Shenshui Bay area. It's over 2,000 mu, with a park, a residential area, warehouses, a gas station, and so on. Is that okay? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Commander Hu put his arm around Xiao Wei's shoulder and said, "What can't we handle? I have plenty of men. I'm going to take this piece of the pie. Don't try anything funny. Just deliver on quality, quantity, and speed. No questions asked. Don't let Shengjian's smugness fool you; when it comes to real skills, he'll have to admit we're capable. Old Zheng, isn't that right?"

The old director nodded and said, "The people over there are still from the military, so you can rest assured about Xiao Zhang's work."

Xiao Wei said, "I was planning to talk to the military region about the transportation, but now that I've given you all the work, what am I supposed to negotiate with them?"

Commander Hu asked, "Where to transport it?"

Xiao Wei said, "The whole Northeast. It's not just once or twice, it's year-round. Next year I'll have to go inland, and occasionally to the South."

Commander Hu said, "Okay, I'll take care of it for you. The price will be 20% lower than the local price, okay? If it's transporting goods back from the south, I'll arrange trucks for you directly from there. It's just a matter of one phone call. I guarantee safety."

The three men walked along the road to the artillery division gate. The guard saluted them, and Commander Hu released Xiao Wei and returned the salute in perfect unison. He then told the guard, "Go and bring back the jeep from the service center." The guard saluted and jogged over to get the jeep.

Commander Hu straightened his collar and said to Xiao Wei, "I also went to southern Yunnan a couple of years ago and stayed there for over a year. I've cooperated with various military regions and have a few acquaintances. Getting a ride is no problem for me; it's not like I won't pay. You can rest assured leaving it to me. Nobody in the entire military region has as many vehicles as I do. You're quite familiar with the Chagan Military Region?"

Xiao Wei said, "My brother is serving in the army there, now in the battalion management office. I also have a good relationship with the children of Brigade Commander Wang of the artillery brigade and Director Li of the hospital; we're practically brothers."

Commander Hu patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder again and said, "Then he's no longer an outsider; Xiao Wang is my soldier."

The military compound was huge. They got into a jeep driven by a guard, and after turning around and around, Xiao Wei estimated that they had walked at least three miles before entering the division headquarters compound. The car stopped by the gate, and the three of them got out and went upstairs.

After sitting in Commander Hu's office for a while, the communications officer brought over the organized documents. Commander Hu glanced at them, signed them, and tossed them to Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei took a look and learned that the artillery division had permanently transferred the land located between the artillery division and the police academy to Liaodong Brothers Group, a joint construction unit of the military region. The Brothers Group could only use the land to solve the inconvenience of life for soldiers and their families and to provide various living services for soldiers and their families. They had no right to transfer or change it for other purposes.

The division headquarters' official seal was already affixed. Division Commander Hu said, "Just sign it and get it stamped back. The military doesn't have that kind of hassle. My signature is enough. You figure out how to do it, and leave the rest to us."

Xiao Wei said, "A two-story hall, totaling six or seven thousand square meters, would be enough. We need a warehouse and offices. If there's enough space in the back, we can build a dormitory building and a canteen. I can also set up a small food factory here."

Commander Hu said, "That's fine. You made those mooncakes this year, right? They were delicious. You need to pay attention to the quality of your products."

The old director said, "It's quite delicious. The Public Security Bureau also sent some to my area, but there wasn't enough. When we went to buy more, they said they were sold out. The key is that it's well-made and shows care. Xiao Zhang, have you registered a patent for this design?"

Xiao Wei: "Huh? This thing can be patented?"

The old dean said, "Packaging design, appearance, shape, pattern, and creativity can all be registered. You should quickly find someone to register your mooncakes. Find a lawyer; they'll understand."

Commander Hu said, "What's the use of registering this?"

The old director said, "How can it be useless? It's incredibly useful! This is such a great idea. Once registered, this design will be unique to you. If others want to use it, they can just pay to buy it. How many military units and police forces are there in the whole country?"
