Chapter 243 Much Ado About Nothing

Longgang County Guest House has been renamed Longgang Hotel, and the main building is currently undergoing renovation work.

The annex building of the Friendship Hotel, which was renamed the Friendship Building of Longgang Hotel, is also undergoing renovation.

The entire land plus two buildings were sold to Lu Jingye for 2,000 yuan.

Because of its serious losses, heavy debts, and negative assets.

The takeover of Lu Economics will be a relief to the county's finances.

Lu Ming himself, of course, disdained to take advantage of this, but at least he was serious about his work and would definitely do a good job in creating local employment.

If you give it to others, it will just be the left hand instead of the right hand, and you don't know how to deal with it.

Moreover, it was Deputy Governor Gao Shaoting who approached him to take over the job, and did not go through Agent Gong.

In fact, it was obvious that Master Gong had taken control of the overall situation, and Gao Shaoting was trying to flatter Lao Gong, so he took the initiative to offer some benefits.

He refused to accept it, which ruined Gao Shaoting's face, as if this gift was not enough.

Although, of course, the real influential people in Longgang only look at coal mines, large and small, and a poor guest house that is losing money, and they really don't take it seriously.

In fact, Lu Ming did not just focus on the coal mines. In the past month or so, many lands around the county have been bought at bargain prices, and the shops and land on both sides of the county's main avenues have also been bought one by one.

How could the coal capital always remain such a small town with few buildings?

The current investment environment is simply too bad, and the contracting and mining of coal mines are littered with corpses.

And as long as the atmosphere is slightly cleared up, the rapid development here will be obvious. According to the rules of the past, it is very likely that the city will have the largest GDP in the province in the future.

After Lao Gong took office, the real big move was to plan the construction of a passenger railway line from Longgang to the main railway line, and at the same time, expand the original freight railway line, that is, build an additional coal line.

At noon, Lu Ming was drinking tea with several county officials in a street shop near the Longgang Hotel, which was being renovated.

This shop was originally a jade shop, but it closed down and was bought by Lu Ming. In fact, the shops and land on this street are now under the name of Zhujiang Industrial, and Zhujiang Industrial has been in the province for a long time.

The largest shareholder of the company registered in the city is Lu Ming, accounting for more than 90% of the equity. Lu Ming has many such shell companies registered in various states and provinces in the empire, and will only start them when necessary.

The store has been repainted and transformed into a place for drinking tea and playing cards, but it is not open to the public.

Lu Ming looked at the telegram he had just received in his hand, and then handed it to Heitou, who went to burn it and soak the ashes with water.

The secret telegram from the Lu Mansion on Hepu Road was the most direct coded telegram, not the kind that was just sent and received confidentially. Heitou translated it into a text and gave it to Lu Ming. Lu Ming read it, and Heitou processed it without leaving any trace.

It was Bizhu's call back.

Lu Ming naturally wanted to tell Bizhu about his encounter with Liulicong and asked if he should take Liulicong to the East China Sea to meet her.

Bizhu's call back was very arrogant, six words: no see you, say hello.

Obviously, the Baozhu Palace seems to disagree with the inheritance of the Liuli Palace, but after all, they are both its masters, so they also hope that the Liuli Palace is safe, and Bizhu should be very happy.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled, and Bi Zhu felt warm in her heart after hearing the news about Liuli Palace.

There has been no communication for hundreds of years, and we are all waiting for the unknown legend in the endless darkness. Sometimes, we suddenly wake up, as if the world is huge, but we don’t know where we are, we are alone, and we don’t know who to play the piano to?

He has tenacious faith, but only sees mediocrity in the world, as if time has long since wiped out all the heroes.

Nowadays, my close friends are still there and my companions on the road are still there. How can we not shed tears of joy?

I wonder if Bizhu will be enlightened when she sees her telegram?

Although I have never seen her drink alcohol, if I am at home, I will definitely have a few drinks with her.

"Boss Lu, look, it looks like you are happy?!" The person speaking next to him was a middle-aged man with middle-parted hair and black-rimmed glasses. He was Li Zhaoji, the former deputy director of the guest house.

Lu Ming had just arrived in Longgang, and he took the initiative to provide the first piece of information.

Today, Li Zhaoji is the chairman of the anti-smoking committee of the county office.

It's a very fat job. This ban on smoking means banning opium and all kinds of new drugs.

When he speaks, he no longer stutters like before. With his official authority, he has the confidence to speak, and his stuttering symptoms have been alleviated a lot.

He naturally knows who he belongs to, he is very stable in his position, and he has the attitude that even if he loses his head, he will do the things assigned by Agent Gong well.

There were five people drinking Kung Fu tea around the tea table. Next to Li Zhaoji, one was Zeng Xiangfan, the chief of the police office, a majestic middle-aged man wearing a black police uniform.

The assistant police office was the name used when the police station was first developed, but today in many counties in Jiangning Province, the assistant police office and the police station coexist.

The chief of the police station usually serves as the chief of the bodyguard of the county governor and also leads the police station. He is the direct supervisor of the police chief, which can be regarded as a link between the previous and the following.

However, the chiefs of many local police stations are local residents, and their roots have long been in the city government and provincial capitals. The chief of the police chief and even the county governor of Liushui are unable to command at all.

These all depend on the situation.

Judging from the current situation in Longgang, the police chief is named Zeng Xiangchen, and the chief of the police chief Zeng Xiangfan are cousins.

In Heishan City, the police force is very famous, and it has controlled the Longgang police power for more than ten years.

It’s hard to say what the relationship between Er Zeng and Lao Gong is. At least, they are still very cooperative in work.

On the other side of Li Zhaoji was Smith, the president of the Longgang branch of the Imperial Bank. He was probably the only foreigner in the entire Longgang County.

Lu Ming later brought Pirlo, Heitou and others.

Next to Smith was a newly promoted official like Li Zhaoji, Li Youxing, chairman of the Construction Committee.

Lu Ming was joking and chatting with them. In fact, there was no topic at all, but when Li Youxing mentioned that he planned to implement the "Mingjie Shop Plan" on both sides of the main streets in the county, Lu Ming listened attentively.

I came to the county town because the case of Lao Jackal and the others will not be opened in a short while, and Cui Xiaodong and Huang Guirong will have to keep an eye on it.

As for the Lu family's mansion in Sansha, I couldn't live in peace at night. I simply came to the county town to handle affairs. I stayed in the county town tonight, and I was planning to return to Donghai tomorrow. Although there was nothing going on with the municipal government and the parliament, but

I want to go back and see Bizhu.

I was just keeping in touch with a few officials and didn't want to talk about anything substantive.

Unexpectedly, Li Youxing, the chairman of the construction committee, was ambitious and proposed his big plan to change the face of the county.

This is the so-called "Mingjie Store Plan".

The general content is that the shops on both sides of the two main main roads in the east and west and the north and south of the county will be demolished and rebuilt in batches, and all of them will be built into two or three-story buildings. The construction committee can provide a small amount of funds and help them apply for interest-free loans.

Lu Ming listened and nodded. In fact, in his previous life, in the early days of reform, some counties had similar plans. At that time, land for the development of new district streets was given away for free to attract people to build shops. However, because there were very few responders, the final administrative order was the same.

Party members and cadres are required to take the lead. The unit gives quotas and someone must build the buildings. Those who were forced to build buildings will naturally become rich after ten or twenty years.

Asking party members to take the lead in buying stocks is also a story of that era, and those original stocks ended up earning thousands of times more.

Li Youxing's plan has the same purpose but the same approach.

"It's a pity that the Construction Committee has no money, and the county office has no money..." Li Youxing sighed, "So this plan is just a fantasy, and I didn't tell Governor Gong."

Lu Ming smiled: "With so many coal mines in Longgang, how much are the taxes and mining fees every year? The county office is so poor, where can we reason?"

Li Youxing shook his head.

This topic was too sensitive, so few people said nothing and all picked up teacups to drink tea.

Lu Ming said: "I remember that in the mining rights agreement of my mine, in the detailed list of annual mining costs, there is a local construction fee, which accounts for about one-third of the mining costs. This money cannot be collected by the Mining Bureau.

It’s unreasonable to build the urban area. Let’s not leave a big part of it in Longgang, but leave half of it, it’s not too much, right?”

Li Youxing's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head.

Lu Ming smiled: "Director Li, I agree with you asking for the money. You report it and ask Agent Gong to come forward and ask for it! If it doesn't work, the Mining Bureau won't give it. We can file a lawsuit and the county office will come forward and sue the city.

Mine Bureau, I am the attorney."

Several people were dumbfounded after hearing this, is this okay?

Although it is not commonplace for local administrative agencies to fight lawsuits, Lu Ming did not think it was inappropriate. It happened occasionally in Western countries in his previous life, and it is not uncommon in the East China Sea now. He mused: "I will go back to the East China Sea tomorrow, and this matter will never happen again.

Think about it carefully and wait until I come back to start it."

Under Li Youxing's plan, more than half of the shops that will benefit must be his own, with the public funding and interest-free loans. Where can you find such a good thing?

I have been thinking about renovating these shops, but now I have come to help, so that’s not a good thing?

However, after thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "It's not good if I always come forward to fight this kind of lawsuit. When the time comes, I will invite a general from the East China Sea and you can discuss it again."

Move Liu Hanhuan over here and fight this lawsuit properly.

Liu Hanhuan is still very capable. If he were a Westerner, it would be no problem to go to the barrister nowadays. Unfortunately, he is stuck in Beiguan, and he has never been involved in the high-profile lawsuits. The increase in assessment points is pitifully slow.

If you create more such extraterritorial sensitive lawsuits for him, it will be of great help to him in improving his rank.

Lu Ming looked at the stunned people again and was about to speak.

Over there, Li Zhaoji rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Well, what do you need? Boss Lu, I will definitely help you if I can."

Li Youxing was stunned for a moment. He knew that this guy had taken the lead in his own organization's affairs. He quickly suppressed the disbelief on his face and said, "Boss Lu, I still need your guidance on everything. But if we really want to go to the stage of filing a lawsuit, it's up to me, the construction committee."

Is it better to come forward? Shouldn’t the local construction fees deducted by the Mining Bureau be transferred to the account of the Construction Committee?”

Lu Ming smiled, Li Youxing could only bear the thunder, thinking that the county office couldn't really get involved in such ridiculous things, so what would happen? However, what he said actually made sense.

To be honest, I didn't mean to cause trouble with the Hu family, but I still haven't heard back from the Jordan Mine, let alone asking for more than that.

What's more, the merchants who came to disgust me were inevitably instigated by outsiders of the Hu family.

We still have to let them continue to get to know themselves.
