After leaving the Ministry of Energy, Zhang Hao visited several departments and relevant figures in succession according to the list provided by Governor Li, and finally lived up to his expectations.
However, there is always a big stone weighing on his heart. Even the prospecting rights that he originally wanted to fight for have become irrelevant. If he were not afraid of breaking his trust, he would just go home and lie down completely, and then calm down and have a good time.
Think about the way forward.
One hundred years, one hundred years, one hundred years...
This seems too heavy for everyone and makes people breathless.
At 6:30 in the evening, Zhang Hao adjusted his mood, and then brought a bottle of 1966 red wine to Mr. Wang's community as promised.
No, this is just a holiday villa.
Mr. Wang’s headquarters is in Shencheng.
At the main entrance of the community, Zhang Hao did not rush in. Instead, he asked Captain Fang to drive around the neighborhood. He was now more interested in the villa than the exploration rights.
After all, where is the safest place in the future?
The answer is definitely the capital.
"Lao Fang, what do you think of this place?"
"It's good, but it's a little too deserted. Maybe it has something to do with New Year's Eve. Everyone is having New Year's Eve dinner at home and hasn't gone out to parade yet."
Captain Fang speculated.
Unlike the north, due to the high temperatures in the south, especially in the Lingnan region, there has always been a tradition of going out together in groups during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Hao has a different view: "This area is a wealthy area, and there are not many residents in it."
"Director Zhang, I found out what you asked me to ask about. Housing prices here are very expensive. The average price starts at 300,000 yuan, and a larger house generally costs hundreds of millions."
Captain Fang took the opportunity to report.
"What about the villa? What's the price?"
"Of course villas are more expensive, but for some reason Zhucheng actually levied a transfer tax of more than 300% on villa transactions. The price is not that exaggerated. The average price of a general villa is basically 400,000.
Between 500,000 and 500,000."
Captain Fang replied.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
Speaking of which, it seems that the news didn’t report much.
"Well, it was implemented in May last year. Local residents are spreading rumors that the people above want to take advantage of the opportunity to harvest the rich people's leeks. Even for ordinary residences, the transfer tax is more than 70%. They are too ruthless." "It should be that there are too many immigrants, and the officials want to control the number through this method."
Zhang Hao sighed softly.
Captain Fang heard this and shook his head subconsciously: "Director Zhang, just look at the housing prices here. They are simply out of control. There are too many rich people."
"It's not that there are many rich people, it's that the rich people are all crowded together." Zhang Hao patted his thigh habitually.
This is an event that has never happened in dreams.
Although Lijiapo in the dream is the federal capital, its population is not very high, and rich people from the East and the West are not very willing to move there. It is more of a pure political center.
In comparison, Zhucheng is much better. It not only attracts a large number of local wealthy people, but also attracts millions of overseas wealthy people.
These are truly social elites.
"It's so magical. Compared with Zhucheng, our Huicheng has better hardware and software conditions than Zhucheng, and we have never seen housing prices rise to such an exaggerated level." Captain Fang couldn't help but envy. "Such a high housing price is extremely abnormal. It will definitely need to be adjusted in the future. If it is not a rigid need, the outcome at this time is tantamount to taking over the market at a high price, and you will definitely suffer a big loss in the end."
Zhang Hao pretended to be someone who had come before.
Under the current situation, the general trend of housing policy is that everyone has a home. If you don’t have a house or have substandard housing, you will really freeze to death. A house is a necessary condition for survival.
In order to solve people's housing pressure, public rental housing will become the mainstream by then, and high housing prices will naturally fall and return to normal prices.
Captain Fang smiled and shook his head: "Whether it goes up or down, it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I already have a house to live in, but Xiao Chen and the others need to work hard."
"Captain, is this a matter of hard work?" Xiao Chen suddenly cried out, "According to my current salary, even if I don't eat or drink for thirty years, I can't afford a house in Huicheng, let alone Zhucheng.
."
Zhang Hao reached out and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder: "Young people, don't worry. I can tell you responsibly that the government will soon launch a large number of public rental housing, so you won't have to worry about not having a house to live in."
"Director Zhang, can I apply for public rental housing with such a high salary?" Xiao Chen asked in astonishment.
"Of course you can. Don't look at the problem with the old ideas. Believe me, public rental housing will no longer be a patent for the poor. You can think of it as welfare housing allocation in the new era. Everyone can apply." p>
"If everyone can apply, will there be enough public rental housing?" Xiao Chen quickly asked.
"Of course it's not enough. I guess lots will be drawn. Whether you can get it or not depends on luck."
Xiao Chen shook his head on the spot: "What a tragedy. I've always had bad luck. It seems like I'm out of luck."
"Don't worry, I will ask you, Mr. Zhang, to rent a few more office buildings to serve as staff dormitories. I won't leave you with no place to live.
Besides, it’s not like before. As long as you are willing to marry a refugee as your wife, not to mention the house, you will even save the money on betrothal gifts, and you may still have a generous dowry.”
Zhang Hao smiled and comforted.
"Director Zhang, I don't dare to marry a refugee. My mother has warned me a long time ago. If I dare to find a Yangma as my wife, I will have to take my skin off." Xiao Chen gave a bitter smile.
"Why not?" Zhang Hao suddenly asked curiously.
If it had been before, it would have been excusable.
After all, new immigrants can only receive 75% of food stamps, which is a huge burden.
But now the policy has changed, so logically it shouldn’t be.
Xiao Chen scratched his head: "Those ocean horses have a bad reputation, and they also have families..."
"I understand." Zhang Hao waved his hand, and then joked: "What if it was a white, rich and beautiful ocean horse, wouldn't you want it?"
"Director Zhang, you are joking. How could Bai Fumei like someone like me?" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He is still very self-aware.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Hao encouraged loudly: "If it were me, if I see someone I like, I will definitely chase him boldly. Anyway, there is no loss if I fail, but what if I catch him? At least I can save thirty years of struggle.
”
"Director Zhang, I'm already in my twenties, and I'm way past the age where I don't know how high the world is."
Xiao Chen did not take this sentence seriously.
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing more. In fact, what he said was not completely impossible. The current situation can be directly applied to an ancient poem:
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.
……
After wandering around for half an hour, the group returned to the gate of the community again. After registration and review, they quickly entered the community.
The environment in the community is quite good. There are many glass houses of different sizes built. Looking around, there are green plants and flowers, as if spring has arrived, which makes people feel happy.
Mr. Wang received the news and was already waiting at the roadside.
Zhang Hao quickly got out of the car and greeted:
"Mr. Wang, happy New Year! I'm not late, am I?"
Mr. Wang held Zhang Hao's hand: "You're not late, I've just prepared the New Year's Eve dinner."
After saying that, he invited a few people to come into the house together.
Zhang Hao looked at the house in front of him. It was a three-story villa with a small yard. From the appearance alone, it seemed that it was well maintained.
Entering the hall, Zhang Hao looked around and couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Wang, you are the only one at home? Isn't your sister-in-law here?"
"She was celebrating the New Year in Shencheng and didn't come over."
Mr. Wang explained casually.
According to the original plan, as soon as the annual meeting of entrepreneurs was over, he would rush back to Shenzhen to have a New Year's Eve dinner with his family. This meeting was purely impromptu.
Zhang Hao felt the same for a moment and couldn't help complaining: "Oh, what you said above is true. It's not a good time to have a meeting. It has to be on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. I can't spend time with my family during the New Year."
"The higher-ups probably have no choice but to do so!"
Mr. Wang took the initiative to defend the official.
"Forget it." Zhang Hao waved his hand, then pointed at Captain Fang and others and introduced: "Mr. Wang, these are my bodyguards. They can't go home to celebrate the New Year with me. Please arrange a room for them to rest.
room."
"What's the trouble? The room has been prepared a long time ago. I will ask someone to take them there. In addition, I also prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for them. However, the conditions are limited, so please be patient." Mr. Wang
Just polite.
"Mr. Wang, you are so polite. It's such a winter, it would be nice to have a hot meal." Captain Fang responded, and then looked at his boss: "Director Zhang, call me if you need anything."
"Well!" Zhang Hao waved his hand: "Stop dawdling and hurry over!"
After Captain Fang and others left, Mr. Wang immediately asked Zhang Hao for his opinion: "Director Zhang, do you think we should eat first? Or look at the house first?"
"Let's eat first!" Zhang Hao smiled and nodded, "It's not too late to look at the house after dinner."
"Okay, let's go this way, let's go to the restaurant." Mr. Wang persuaded as he walked: "Director Zhang, why don't you just stop leaving tonight and rest here for the night?"
"Don't bother me. It's not that far from the hotel anyway. It's only half an hour away at most."
Zhang Hao declined.
Firstly, he was not familiar with the other party at all, so it was better to be cautious; secondly, the other party had a poor reputation, and there were rumors that Zhengwei Group was a scam company. To be on the safe side, he did not want to get involved too much with such a person.<
/p>
"No, let's have a drink together later. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight." Mr. Wang's face was filled with enthusiasm.
Zhang Hao naturally refused repeatedly, but he was no match for an old man like Mr. Wang, so he had no choice but to agree to stay for one night.
However, he also became more vigilant in his heart.
After the two of them took their seats, the New Year's Eve dinner was quickly served.
In order to entertain the distinguished guests, Mr. Wang put a lot of effort into preparing a table full of delicious food, which is no worse than that of a big hotel.
Zhang Hao took out the red wine he brought with him. Mr. Wang took the bottle, opened it and poured him a glass of red wine:
"Director Zhang, my time is limited and I only have time to prepare these dishes. Please forgive me."
"Where there is, there is already plenty."
Zhang Hao quickly replied.
This is not just a polite word.
Before leaving, he made a video call to his home and watched the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by his family. To be fair, it was not as exquisite as Mr. Wang's.
】
Shortly after the New Year's Eve dinner started, Zhang Hao casually asked about the coal mine: "Mr. Wang, how is the operation going at your place? Are you sure?"
"Alas!" Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh, "The situation is not very optimistic. As you said, the competition is too fierce and the chance of success is slim."
"It's okay. The Yaffinger Valley coal mine is not bad. It will be enough for us to mine for ten years."
Zhang Hao quickly comforted him.
Mr. Wang nodded, and then asked: "Director Zhang, how are you doing there? Is it going well?"
"The problem at Yafingal Valley Coal Mine is not big. As for the exploration rights, Minister Yin promised to help. Whether it can be successful or not is still a matter of time. Let's see what happens next!"
Zhang Hao chose a conservative answer.
"Okay, now that Minister Yin has spoken, I think it's pretty much the same thing." Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not all bad.
"Mr. Wang, before things are implemented, we'd better be cautious..."
Zhang Hao tried to remind.
After all, Minister Yin made a very demanding request. If he rejected the other party, the final result would be hard to say.
Mr. Wang didn't take it seriously and said: "Director Zhang, don't worry. I have been dealing with the government for decades. People with high authority like Minister Yin generally do not make promises easily.
Once the other party agrees to help, and promises it personally, it means that the matter is very sure, and there is almost no possibility of failure. You need to worry too much."
"Ahem, I hope so!"
Next, the two talked about the new company for more than half an hour. Mr. Wang seemed very excited and talked about a lot of his ideas.
From the other party's words, Zhang Hao saw the other party's ambition, which can also be said to be ambitious.
It’s past eight o’clock in the evening, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is coming to an end.
Mr. Wang couldn't bear it any longer, and finally showed his fox tail: "Director Zhang, in fact, in inviting you here this time, besides the house, I have one more thing... I want to trouble you."
"What's the matter? Just say it! I will definitely help if I can." Zhang Hao said without hesitation.
Of course, these are just superficial work.
Although it sounds nice, it actually doesn’t promise anything.
"Thank you so much!" Mr. Wang picked up the wine glass and said, "Director Zhang, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Zhang Hao took a sip of red wine and stared closely into the other person's eyes, trying to get some clues from them.
Mr. Wang couldn't wait: "Here's the thing, I'm not satisfied with you. I personally am really optimistic about the market prospects in Australia and want to give it a try."
"If Mr. Wang wants to compete for the management rights of the coal company, I will definitely be on your side."
Zhang Hao made his promise on the spot.
The reason why he agreed so happily was that he wanted to repay the other party's favor for selling the villa;
On the other hand, he is the smallest shareholder and has a very weak voice. Unlike Southeast Fisheries, it is impossible for anyone to elect him as general manager. He is also not interested, no matter who he supports.
"Thank you, but that's not what I want to say. And to be honest, I am determined to get the management rights of the coal company. After all, among us, I am the only one who has relevant experience."
Mr. Wang looks very confident.
Zhang Hao complimented the other party.
Mr. Wang waved his hand, and then continued what he had just said: "Director Zhang, let me tell you directly, I want to sell Zhengwei Group. I wonder if you are interested?"
"What? Why?" Zhang Hao was shocked.
Although Zhengwei Group is not a listed company, it once won the title of the first private enterprise in Guangdong Province, and it is also a well-known presence in the circle.
