After the car stopped, Ye Shaofeng took Li Hongwei out of the car. The car parked next to the dilapidated road. The street lights here were dim, and several street lights seemed to have been broken. The bulbs were tingling with electricity.
As soon as Li Hongwei got out of the car, the drivers in the cockpit also followed him. They were not only drivers, but also Li Hongwei's bodyguards.
"You don't have to follow me. Governor Ye is one of our own. You two are waiting in the car," Li Hongwei said.
Ye Shaofeng also smiled and joked: "Don't worry, your boss will still be of great use if I keep it. Now you want to harm him, and I have to help him block the gun."
Ye Shaofeng took Li Hongwei into a shanty town, which is very common here. The stench on the roadside began to spread. It had not rained in the past few days, and the mud on the road had dried up. Although there was no mire, walking on it, There are still potholes and garbage piled up on both sides of the alley, which makes people feel disgusting.
"What are you doing here?" Li Hongwei asked.
Ye Shaofeng did not answer the question directly, but said: "Brother, didn't you just ask me why I want to be an official so much? Now I will tell you the answer."
"Say," Li Hongwei listened carefully.
"I want to do something for more people. Only by being an official can I bring a better life to more people. Being an official is not for making money, not for enjoyment, not for the glory of being high up. Life is This life is short, no matter how much money you make, what's the use? You can't take it with you when you die. What's the use of having a high status? You still have to be buried in the soil after you die, and your bones turn into soil. Do more meaningful things while you're alive. With things like this, it’s not in vain that God allowed me to come to this world.”
After Li Hongwei listened, he looked at Ye Shaofeng very attentively and said in surprise: "In the past, when I heard you say things like this, I thought it was official articles and they were all lies. Now, when I heard you say this, I suddenly felt, It’s so true, it’s like you’re talking about your new life, aren’t you just acting like me?”
"If you're acting, I don't need to bring you here. I bring you here just to show you the environment here. What do you think of it here," Ye Shaofeng asked.
"To be honest, I don't think this is a place for people to lead," Li Hongwei covered his nose and walked forward cautiously.
"You think this is not a place for human beings to live, but there are tens of thousands of Hu people living here. The permanent population here has reached tens of thousands. The entire North District is in such a disgusting and inhospitable place for human beings to live." In this place, tens of thousands of people live in such shantytowns. Every day when they go out, they face the stench, walk on such potholed land, and live a life of inhumanity that is unimaginable to us. You say, Seeing this, shouldn't we do something for them?" Ye Shaofeng began to get to the point.
"There's nothing we can do,"
"I want to do surgery here. This is also the first big thing I do when I come to Jidong City and the first big thing I do for this province. This also marks my determination," Ye Shaofeng said.
"You want to plan this place," Li Hongwei asked.
"Yes, the difficulty is not small, but as long as you help me and take the lead, I believe that once this situation is opened, my next work will not be difficult. How about you, do you dare to join me, brother? Let’s have a prosperous fight,” Ye Shaofeng said.
Li Hongwei listened with enthusiasm at first, but his mind immediately returned to reality. He looked at the dilapidated situation in front of him and asked vaguely: "Brother, let me ask you, if I fight This is the first time, how much does it cost to get in by yourself?"
"One billion," Ye Shaofeng said. One billion is not a big sum to transform an old city. For a third-tier city to build a development zone, the initial investment is around one billion, and Ye Shaofeng proposed Compared with other places, this billion is indeed very small. However, Ye Shaofeng wants to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and does not want to make a lot of money for himself by transforming this Dongfeng.
"This is not a small amount of money. What's more, if it takes only one billion to renovate this urban area, I'm afraid this money is not enough." Li Hongwei is very experienced in this area and expressed his confusion without any concealment. , he also felt that if he put money into it in such a mysterious way, it would be like throwing the money into a bottomless pit, with no return.
With one billion, it is impossible to completely renovate this urban area. If the urban area is not renovated well, it will still be in dilapidated condition. If it is one billion, it will be wasted.
"You offer one billion, but that's not everything. You are just a leader. Moreover, when I say you offer one billion, I am not asking you to invest one billion in the district government here, but I am asking you to invest one billion here. To do a big project worth one billion, let’s do real estate. Here in the North District, I will sell the land to you at a low price. You can open at least three real estate projects. By the way, you can also build a small office center and build a few high-end buildings. Office buildings, mainly office buildings, try to attract crowded companies from Nancheng, Xicheng and other places here. If you make a move like this, you can pry open the door and drive the economy here. Then, I Let Peng Xiaofei's Peng Group also come in, and then I can use your capital to develop here to find more of my business friends to develop here. In five years, at most five years, this place will be It has been completely transformed into a modern urban area. In addition, it is suitable to be a land logistics port to solve the employment problem of some people here. As a logistics port, our Longtang has experience. I will learn from the Longtang Foundation. Withdraw a sum of money there and build a logistics port here in the name of Longtang. As long as you agree, our projects will start here at the same time, so that the movement can be completely stirred up," Ye Shaofeng became more and more excited as he spoke, Li Hongwei was shown a grand construction blueprint for the next five years.
After listening to this, Li Hongwei felt that what Ye Shaofeng said was not unreliable. Although he had to invest so much money in the early stage, once it developed, there would be enough returns. It was even said that in five years, it would be possible Any businessman would be keen to allow him to earn back his capital with such a high return, but this also involves the risk of not being able to develop. Once it fails to develop, one billion will definitely be in vain.
For a big businessman like Li Hongwei, if this billion is lost, it will not have much impact on them. However, this is not a small amount after all, and he still needs to think about it carefully...
