My father didn't say anything anymore, he was thinking. I was secretly happy because I felt that he had finally been fooled by me.
However, after a while, he suddenly said: "Don't mess with me. I know the trick here. In the future, no one will only need a house with a few dozen square meters. People are like this. They always want to live in a big house. When the time comes,
Aren’t they going to use their money to buy more space? Also, what about those low-income families? Firstly, they don’t have private houses, and secondly, they don’t have the security of being allocated housing in units, so what do these people do?”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Dad, you are right. But these things should be the government's business. As developers, our purpose is to make money. Of course, we will also fully consider the consumption of the people in terms of housing prices and other aspects."
level and strength. In addition, the most we can do is to do as much as possible in terms of infrastructure so that local people can enjoy more benefits. Dad, you don’t want us to lose all our money here, do you? Think about it,
When we invest here, pay taxes, pay interest to banks, etc., haven’t all the money stayed here? There are things we should do that we can only do as much as possible, and we must not do things that we should not do.
Businessmen have replaced the functions of the government, and those leaders may not appreciate it. As I said before, in the future we will have to pay a lot of taxes and fees to the government, as well as money for land. The government can completely use this money to solve the problems of low-income families.
Question?"
He sighed, "That's the truth. But many things will be difficult to say in the future."
I said: "Dad, as you said before, the power of an individual is very weak, even insignificant. The county committee and county government have already decided on the reconstruction of the old city. The question now is how do we integrate the power of the county committee and county government?
The plan will be implemented to make this small county in our hometown more beautiful. This is the purpose of investing my money here. Dad, let me tell you the truth, even if my father-in-law lent me money, he would still be high
He and I have signed a contract. And the money from my friends will be repaid to others in the future. Therefore, the pressure and risks here are also great. Now, Xiao Sun is here
The work is not going smoothly, the heads of some departments are very uncooperative, and the situation of asking for credit cards is very serious. I always want to get something from it. Of course, the necessary expenses should be spent, but I am asking us to pay bribes or something.
I firmly disagree, otherwise it will be a dangerous thing for everyone in the future. Therefore, I hope you can help us. After all, you have worked here for so many years and have great prestige in the hearts of officials and people.
I believe that if you can step in and handle some things flexibly, things will go smoothly."
My father asked me: "Since you came here to attract investment from County Magistrate Long, why don't you go to him to report these problems?"
I shook my head, "I can't reflect it. I think you should understand the reason."
He nodded, "Yes. This matter is very troublesome. It doesn't matter whether you report it or not. Some officials here are like this. They only care about immediate interests and always feel that they have the power in their hands. The idea that the power does not expire is very serious.
.Okay, tell me then, what specific things are you going to ask me to do?"
"I want you to be the general manager of the company. Xiao Sun still has a project to do. It is also an old city reconstruction project, but that project is around the provincial capital. If this is the case, she can be distracted in the future.
"I said eagerly.
"How much authority do I have?" my father asked.
"You are the general manager, and the company is mine, so you can do whatever you want? But... haha! Dad, don't be angry when I say it." I said, suddenly realizing that my father's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
So he added hurriedly.
"Tell me, I want to know what authority I have." My father said, expressionless.
"The general manager is the person who implements the decisions of the board of directors. In other words, in the future, all affairs of the company will be based on the decisions of the board of directors and you are responsible for doing specific things." I expressed my understanding.
"You don't seem to have much power?" My father suddenly laughed. I knew that his smile meant to ridicule me. So I hurriedly said: "I told you, not all the money in it belongs to me. Even the little ones
Sun, although she is the chairman of the board, every major expenditure she makes must be approved by me. I have assigned a financial director to the company to control the use of funds. Dad, I am losing so much money.
I'm sorry."
"Then why are you still a doctor? You might as well go out and do business," said my father.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Doing business is to make life better in the future. I would not want to make it a lifelong career. Being a doctor is great, I like it."
My father didn't say anything, so I said again: "Dad, no matter what, it's an investment of more than 2 billion. You still have a lot of power. From now on, every money you sign will be at least several hundred dollars."
Tens of millions, this kind of power is not that small? Moreover, if you become the general manager, you will definitely be given a salary. You will be given fifty to one million per year first. If you do well, you will get huge bonuses.
"
He immediately burst out laughing, "Would I want my son to be paid?"
I immediately said seriously: "Dad, you must be paid. How come you never think of this? I have said it several times, the money there is not mine alone, not to mention that the company's management must be formalized, and the salary must be standardized."
Your salary is completely deserved. In addition, your daily expenses also need to be reported. For example, the car you take, the clothes you wear, dinners with guests, gifts, etc., these can all be reported."
While we were talking, my mother had been holding the child and listening. At this time, she suddenly said to the father: "Old Feng, the child has talked to this extent, just help him. Get so much money back."
Investment is no joke. What conditions do you agree to with him? How much power does it have, and it doesn’t belong to our own family? You, really, the more you live, the more confused you become. After all, it is more interesting than working for you, right?
You said that you have worked all your life, and have you earned fifty or one million yuan? Have you been paid for your food and clothing? There is also a special car! In our county, only people above the director level have that kind of treatment.
.Old Feng, don’t embarrass the child, just agree.”
The father then smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that I would become an official when I was about to retire. I would also have a special car and a high salary. I could also pay for food and other things. Haha! I can be considered one of the corrupt elements. Well, I
promise you."
The mother was immediately happy, but reminded her father: "Old Feng, you must change your stubborn temper from now on, don't let your son lose money."
The father laughed, "I work for my son, do you think it will be the same as before? There is a saying? Working is like making wine, flexibility is the best way to blend; when opening a shop and cooking, how can you add oil and salt if you are rigid? Just kidding, I work
Have you never known this all your life? I used to work for the country, and everything in my hands was the property of the country. It was governed by party discipline and state laws. If I didn’t do it, I would commit a crime and go to jail. Now I work for my son, and I should treat guests with my own money.
Just treat people, give others things when you need to give them things, as long as things are successful."
I was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
In the evening, my father was in a good mood, and he asked me to have a few drinks with him. In fact, I was also very happy, because after all, a big problem was solved.
After eating, I suddenly had an idea: go talk to Sun Lulu right away.
Moreover, I also want to visit my former alma mater at night because Zhao Menglei is there.
My alma mater in middle school is as old as the small county town. It is still the same school gate as before, and it still has the same old pines and big green trees.
Sun Lulu and I entered the school gate side by side, and she held my arm. I didn't object to her action, because I suddenly felt a kind of loneliness. Nostalgia can also make people feel lonely.
Students were studying in the evening. The classrooms in front of me that I knew were brightly lit, but the road under our feet and the entire campus were as quiet as a quiet girl. I smelled the quiet and distant fragrance of flowers that I was once familiar with.
They are filled with water-like moonlight. Above them is the quiet night sky, and the bright moon hangs in the dark night.
It’s still the same campus as before, but I have already passed my student days, and everything that once seemed like a dream has long gone, including my first love.
She, Zhao Menglei, every time she came out of the classroom, I would quietly follow her, and then slowly enjoy the sweetness and beautiful fantasy she brought me behind her. However, at that time, I would never
I will think that one day, that is, right now, when I come here again, everything has changed. I am still alive, but she, Zhao Menglei, has already slept in this place. Campus
Next to the lotus pond, under the roots of the ginkgo tree.
I asked Kang Demao to help me with this matter. At first, I just wanted the school to plant a tree for Zhao Menglei. Then I thought about it and decided to bring her ashes back and bury them under the roots of that tree.
.She is no longer here, but I believe that tree will always be evergreen. Because this place once gave us a beautiful memory. In my heart, she was the most beautiful at that time.
Sun Lulu was very sensible, so she held my arm like this, and we walked slowly around the campus. I felt a wonderful feeling of going back to the past, as if my arm was not Sun Lulu's, but Zhao Menglei's.
.I like this feeling.
Ahead is the school's administrative building, a low two-story bungalow. After turning around, there is the pond. The water in the pond under the moonlight is dark green. There are many willow trees beside the pond, and they are dancing in the wind.
This is what this place looks like in my memory. There was a soft "thud" sound, which was the sound of a frog jumping into the water after being disturbed by us. I immediately saw a ripple, and the reflection of the moon was also shaking and breaking. (Unfinished)
