Chapter 817: Chapter 557: Money Alone Isn’t Enough! (Part 2)
As for the national hygiene city, it’s kind of funny to talk about.
Back then, there was a big campaign to create it, and everyone worked at it for more than half a year. Almost everyone who ate from the governnt’s table swept the streets and picked up cigarette butts, but despite all the effort, it wasn’t successful.
The city leader at the ti blad Han Yu, a little police officer, for causing this failure!
Last year, the city restarted the initiative. They only had the newly ford city managent team busy for a while, and when the evaluation team ca to assess, they mobilized governnt staff to "rush" it a bit, and it was easily accomplished.
But speaking of it, the city’s appearance now is incomparable to the past.
Thinking about it carefully, Secretary Xie wasn’t inactive during his tenure.
During his second term, he worked on old city renovations, almost dismantling the entire downtown area.
At that ti, the citizens were unaware, and most of the officials didn’t understand either, secretly accusing him of demolishing and constructing for political achievents. When he was transferred, the new city area wasn’t even properly built yet, leaving what seed like a ss for Linghai, sparking controversy.
After Secretary Ye took office, he continued the work, and now the construction is beautiful.
If it weren’t for the City Committee and the Municipal Governnt along with the Police Bureau only renovating instead of rebuilding their offices, Han Yu would have thought he was in the wrong place when attending etings downtown...
The two businessn couldn’t believe that Linghai’s foundational education was so good, so Han Yu simply had the driver take them to Sanhe Middle School and Sanhe Primary School.
The city values education, and so does the developnt zone!
The Sanhe High School, now renad the developnt zone high school, has a new teaching building that is more imposing than the Managent Committee’s, and the developnt zone’s central primary school is just as beautiful.
After touring the "built-up area," they accompanied the businessn to the riverbank.
They are presidents of a cent company in Hui’an, whose enterprise was even listed on the East Sea Stock Exchange last year. If they could bring them into the developnt zone to invest and build a factory, Linghai would have its first listed company!
The developnt zone has advantages in attracting cent companies.
Firstly, the developnt zone is by the river, which makes water transport convenient, and water transport costs are far less than that of road transport.
Moreover, it has abundant land resources!
Through the tireless efforts of Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian, and Deputy Mayor Shen, not only did they apply for thousands of acres of construction land quotas, but they also got the superior land managent departnts to formally acknowledge that the 120,000 acres of Yanjiang mudflats were ford by deposits from the Yangtze River shoals, categorized as non-arable, plan-exempt land.
This ans the use of these 120,000 acres is unrestricted, not involving land quotas.
Now, with national policy support and no relocation issues, even basic infrastructure such as roads, communication, ports, and utilities have been set up. In an environnt where land use is strictly controlled nationally, these 120,000 acres of "virgin land" are not worried about being unsold.
As expected, the two presidents were indeed very interested in the riverbank mudland.
In fact, the area they were interested in could no longer be called mudland, Linghai Port construction requires dredging the waterway, and in the past two years, there have been engineering boats almost daily dredging and backfilling on the river, creating over ten thousand acres of new land for the developnt zone while dredging the dedicated waterway.
...
anwhile, having just returned from East Sea, Zhang Erxiao and Jiang Pinghua were at the Bailong Port Police Station, looking enviously at Xiao Yu boasting.
"You an to say, you’re now both police and an officer."
"Not in the future, I already am now!"
"Can you wear a military uniform?"
"Of course, what kind of officer doesn’t wear a uniform."
Xiao Yu grinned, and then proudly added, "Salted Fish also enlisted my brother-in-law, and now he is also an officer. Once training and rank are granted, he’ll be a Reserve Captain in the People’s Liberation Army of China."
Zhang Erxiao asked quietly, "One-three?"
"Yes."
"And you?"
"I’m not old enough, so only one-two."
"Besides you and your brother-in-law, who else did Salted Fish enlist?"
"Plenty." Xiao Yu finished the banana Zhang Erxiao brought from East Sea, his eyes dancing with glee, "You all know Liang Xiaojun and Sister ngng, both of them joined the army, one is a Captain and the other a Lieutenant. And Wu Heng from Boss Wu’s family will join us for training in a few days."
Xiao Jiang, who worked as a welder at Boss Wu’s shipyard when he was a teenager, knew Wu Heng too well, and asked in surprise, "Wu Heng is also becoming an officer?"
"Yes, his dad partnered with our battalion for military-civilian co-construction and sponsored fifty thousand yuan for our battalion’s expenses, otherwise this wouldn’t have been possible for him!"
"Can you buy an officer status with money?"
"It’s not as simple as you say, Boss Wu did spend money, but his son Wu Heng is a college student."
"College student? The university Wu Heng attended was bought."
Since they’re idle, it’s better to spend a little and beco an officer.
Zhang Erxiao found it increasingly logical and smiled at Xiao Yu, "Buddy, our Longgang Rice Industry can also partner with your battalion for that civilian co-operation thing."
"Military-civilian co-construction."
"Right, right, that’s it, military-civilian co-construction."
"You should speak to Salted Fish, it’s no use telling ."
Xiao Yu realized that they, like his brother-in-law, wanted to experience being officers, and asked with a smile, "How do you plan to co-construct with the battalion? Military-civilian co-construction requires signing an agreent, you can’t just speak empty words."
Zhang Erxiao unhesitatingly said, "Isn’t it just sponsoring fifty thousand yuan?"
"Boss Wu could give fifty thousand, and so can we!"
Xiao Jiang nodded: "Yeah, we can pay too!"
"Boss Wu sponsored fifty thousand for his son Wu Heng to co to our battalion as a Second Lieutenant officer, but you two are different, you are two people!"
"How about we sponsor one hundred thousand?"
"One hundred thousand is about right, but it’s not up to , plus your education isn’t enough."
They grew up with the two fish, knowing each other very well.
Zhang Erxiao couldn’t help but laugh: "You’re talking as if your education is very high!"
Xiao Jiang couldn’t help but chuckle, "Xiao Yu, you didn’t even go to primary school, while Er Xiao and I, at least, attended primary school."
Xiao Yu couldn’t stand it when others questioned education, and slapped the table: "I might not have gone to primary school, but I have a bachelor’s degree!"
"I know, but that bachelor’s degree is from a correspondence course."
"So what if it’s correspondence, the state recognizes correspondence degrees!"
"I can also get a bachelor’s degree from a correspondence course, there are many ads in the newspapers for it, just spend a bit of money and you can get any diploma."
"We’re about to go training, even if you sign up for correspondence courses now, you won’t have enough ti."
"It can’t be that late, I’ll ask around later, see if there’s an expedited option."
"This can be expedited too?"
"If you’re willing to spend money, there’s nothing that can’t be done."
Those two naughty boys have money to burn now.
They handed over the rice factory to Uncle Zhang to manage, becoming hands-off bosses, indulging in eating, drinking, and rrymaking daily. They lent the previously purchased sedan to Uncle Zhang and bought a new imported Crown sedan.
Seeing their arrogance, Xiao Yu felt they should be conscripted and properly trained to realize his prowess.
More importantly, Friend Xiaoping wanted them to lead a prosperous life, not to squander it away in debauchery!
My family has money too, and my family’s Yu Zhen doesn’t have any less money, yet I contribute to my country, so should those who started getting rich first!
With this in mind, Xiao Yu smiled slyly: "I’ll talk to Salted Fish for you later, you should go find Salted Fish too. It’s not enough to just sponsor so money for such a big matter, our battalion is a Flood Control and Rescue Mobile Assault Battalion, and only enlists those who can be of use."
Every ti Zhang Erxiao went to school with his fiancée, people would gossip behind their backs, ridiculing his lack of education, saying he only had a pile of lousy money. So who knew him well even spread rumors about him having been a cigarette vendor, humorously claiming Xiao Qin was with him for his money.
Finally becoming a Political Consultative Conference mber, those envious still laughed.
If he could beco an officer, would they dare mock him again?
Zhang Erxiao felt this was an opportunity to raise his social standing and pressed on, "Must it be soone useful to the battalion?"
"Brother-in-law can fix any machine. If we really execute ergency rescue tasks in the future, sailing boats and carrying construction equipnt will be necessary. If the boats break or the equipnt fails, brother-in-law would be hugely helpful. Liang Xiaojun and Sister ngng, one is a doctor, the other a nurse, they can be a big help too."
Xiao Yu smiled, and asked the two: "What can you guys do? Think about it, if you really enter our battalion, what could you contribute?"
Xiao Jiang replied without hesitation, "I can weld!"
"How about you, Er Xiao?"
"I... I... I’ll think it over and went to check with Salted Fish once I figure it out."
