After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future Chapter 919: Governing a Great Nation Is Like Cooking a Smal

"They’re all aware deep down."

Lu Liang sneered and looked at those who reacted the most, sarcastically saying, "Do we still need to be tactful?"

Those people t Lu Liang’s gaze and lowered their heads one after another. What seed like a gesture of sha was more driven by fear.

Although his words were harsh, they were just harsh. If they objected, who knows how Lu Liang might deal with them later.

At this mont, Old Wang, sitting near the door, softly said, "Chairman Pan, Director Zhao, you’ve arrived."

Pan Guoqing nodded slightly, greeting everyone while listening to his secretary’s briefing on what had just happened, and suddenly laughed, "It seems everyone has already discussed a round."

"Just a casual chat." Lu Liang laughed, directly ignoring those people and looked at several leaders beside Pan Guoqing.

"Mr. Lu, you probably haven’t t them before, let introduce you."

Pan Guoqing was all smiles, not minding the presence of outsiders, introducing as if to a family mber, "Director Zhao from State Assets, Director Liu from Land, Director Zhou from Urban Construction."

"Mr. Lu, hello, if you have any unique insights later, please share them generously."

They all smiled, without the slightest pretense, and took the initiative to shake hands and exchange pleasantries, treating him like a colleague.

Lu Liang hurriedly waved his hand, saying with a guilty expression, "You’re kidding, I’m just a bystander observing."

Pan Guoqing interjected, "Mr. Lu, there you go being modest again. What you said earlier was pretty good. Which of these companies hasn’t violated norms?"

His voice suddenly raised, carrying anger in his words, although directing at Lu Liang, it wasn’t an accusation against him, just using the topic to vent.

Inviting Lu Liang to the eting was indeed a smart choice because only he dared to criticize freely, helping reduce a lot of pointless argunts and facilitating quick focus on the main topic.

The secretary understood the leader’s intention, quietly walked to the door, and closed the conference room door.

"Since everyone is here, the eting will begin."

Pan Guoqing’s face darkened, maintaining a mood of anger, as he took his seat at the main position.

From his position, it was clear that he was not only the highest-ranking official but also the main speaker of the eting.

Lu Liang furrowed his brows, looking at the seating arrangent, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and suddenly his mouth curved up.

Although the central bank is not the supervisory body of real estate companies, it holds the purse strings.

"Since there are no outsiders here, I just want to ask you all, what do you regard the Real Estate Law and Urban Construction Law as?"

Zeng Guoqing angrily struck the table, producing a thumping sound, each impact felt like a shock to everyone’s heart, questioning, "A piece of scrap paper?"

The property executives, averaging over fifty years old, faced the reprimand like quails, lowering their heads in silence.

Lu Liang bead, like an outsider, listening with great interest while watching everyone’s expressions.

He knew this tactic of first suppressing then elevating, always intending to give them a stern warning to adjust their attitude, paving the way for task arrangents later.

The real estate industry, with assets of 400 trillion, and these people directly or indirectly related, accounts for at least 40% of the national market.

So sotis, it’s not that the country wants to manage and is willing to bail out major real estate firms with no bottom line, but that it genuinely cannot afford not to.

Like the subpri mortgage crisis back then, the Federal Reserve urgently cut interest rates and launched quantitative easing, directly intervening to stabilize the market.

The US stock market corresponds to East Country’s real estate market, concerning the national foundation; if a major shift occurs, intervention is inevitable.

Lu Liang listened while pondering the true intention behind Pan Guoqing inviting him to this eting.

If it was just to have him as an observer, to imdiately know Greenland Group’s outco, there was no need to invite so many departnt heads.

He suddenly looked at Pan Guoqing seated at the main position, the central bank’s chief, the entity holding the most funds among state-owned enterprises, a peculiar expression crossed Lu Liang’s face.

It seed Old Pan still didn’t fully trust him; he, Lu, wasn’t a person who just delivered blows without considering the aftermath, so why invite him to fall into a trap?

"I won’t say much else, let’s discuss the handling plans for Greenland and Country Garden. Everyone expresses their views."

Pan Guoqing swept a glance at everyone, satisfied with the attitudes they showed, at least superficially acknowledging their wrongs, but whether it resonated is another matter.

He suddenly turned to Lu Liang, his smile as gentle as spring breeze, "Mr. Lu, do you have any particularly good suggestions?"

Lu Liang completely ignored Xu Jiayin, sitting beside him and eagerly waiting, instead looking at Wang Shi opposite him.

He smiled and said, "I’m not particularly familiar, better to first hear Mr. Wang from Vanke’s opinion."

Wang Shi froze, sowhat unresponsive, but suddenly saw Lu Liang’s hinting gesture and Xu Jiayin’s resentful gaze.

He vaguely guessed, cautiously saying, "As far as I know, Greenland Group has 1,132 undeveloped and uncompleted developnt projects under its na, involving up to 261,200 households."

Wang Shi spoke while watching Lu Liang’s expression; seeing Lu Liang’s slight nod, he imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly gaining confidence, he resolutely said, "I believe the urgent task is to first resolve this part of the issue, give consurs an explanation, other matters can be temporarily set aside."

Pan Guoqing looked at the confident Wang Shi, the resentful Xu Jiayin, and the calm Lu Liang, a flicker of realization flashed in his eyes.

He expressed approval, nodding and saying, "Indeed, the urgent task is to resolve this part of the issue, after all, livelihood matters are never trivial."

The eting lasted over three hours, until the sunset, barely reaching a few solutions that weren’t perfect but reasonably feasible.

For instance, out of Greenland’s 1,132 projects, 680 would be taken over by Vanke Group for subsequent developnt, estimated to require 65 billion yuan more investnt, matched with 1.22 billion square ters of reserved land under its na, totaling about 67.2 billion yuan in value.

As for Huaxin, Rongchuang, Longhu, Wanda, Hengtai, each received around a hundred or so scattered projects, obtaining sowhat matched reserved land.

Regarding Country Garden’s treatnt plan, the decision was to rescue, although Yang Xiaohui was not under investigation like Liu Conglong; it would be directly funded for loan assistance by the central bank.

At the end, to prevent such incidents from occurring again, Lu Liang proposed three suggestions: cancel pre-sold houses, strictly regulate funds, and add a capital guarantee, which must account for 30% of the project’s total investnt, ensuring unfinished incidents don’t recur.

However, only the suggestion to strictly control funds was adopted.

Hence, those people watched Lu Liang with eyes full of hatred, as if wishing to devour him alive.

"Mr. Lu, please stay."

Seeing Lu Liang leaving, vaguely appearing like he was departing angrily.

Disregarding others’ odd looks, Pan Guoqing quickly chased after with a smile, "There’s nothing important tonight, right?"

Lu Liang shook his head expressionless, Pan Guoqing smiled, "Since it’s nothing, why not try the dishes from our office canteen? Or do you prefer delicacies and disdain our canteen’s bland soup?"

Lu Liang chuckled wryly, "Since Chairman Pan said so, if I refuse, wouldn’t it seem a bit impolite?"

"Mr. Lu, this way please!" Pan Guoqing couldn’t help but chuckle, leading Lu Liang to the office canteen with a smile.

As they walked, he said, "Mr. Lu, I know your proposals are well-intentioned, and I share your views."

"But these things can’t be rushed and need gradual changes, just like the matter of canceling pre-sold houses. If pre-sold houses are canceled, what about consurs waiting for delivery?"

"Moreover, adding another construction guarantee, and not using it before delivery, considering the real estate industry’s state, you should understand, each one lacks funds."

"Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish."

Pan Guoqing helplessly sighed, the current dilemma in real estate wasn’t ford overnight but a problem accumulated over ti.

Addressing it requires unraveling layer by layer, treating each aspect slowly. If aggressive asures are taken, the industry absolutely cannot withstand it.

Lu Liang remained silent for a long ti, sighed, "Sorry, Chairman Pan, it’s my presumptive thinking."

Pan Guoqing laughed, saying, "Mr. Lu, it’s not just that you’re presumptuous, you are accustod to wielding control in your company without experiencing or understanding the operation of old chanisms."

"This analogy is apt." Lu Liang laughed aloud.

Soon the two entered the canteen, Pan Guoqing brought two plates of food, smiling, "Mr. Lu, try and see how it tastes?"

During the al, he apologized to Lu Liang, explaining that inviting him to the eting was genuinely with the mindset of seeking substantial contributions.

However, he hadn’t anticipated Lu Liang had already privately reached an agreent with Wang Shi, prepared to assu so responsibility.

This made him sowhat have the petty heart of suspicion towards a noble person.
