771, grain and grass first, banking first to enter
With green tiles, white walls and horse-headed eaves, this is a typical Beijing courtyard house located near Zhengyangmen.
only
Surrounded by compact temporary buildings, the debris piled at the door still affects its original beauty.
"This is a courtyard with three entrances. There are now more than a dozen families living in it. However, the original owner no longer lives here, but lives in northern Shaanxi. When my hometown returned this property, the other party did not
Not wanting to return to the capital, and with issues such as property taxes and maintenance costs, the other party simply sold the place."
Standing at the door of the courtyard, Wu Shuhan was introducing the situation here to Chu Huan.
Standing at the door, Chu Huan could see aunts washing clothes inside, young people getting ready to go out, and children playing around.
In the alley, there are old men playing chess in the sunshine, and there are also children playing rubber bands.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
After Chu Huan finished speaking, he walked in first, followed by Wu Shuhan, Han Yang and others.
Chu Huan and his party who had just entered immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hospital. An aunt who was doing laundry saw Chu Huan and asked.
"Who are you looking for?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm not looking for anyone, I'm just looking around!"
Wu Shuhan smiled and said, "Aunt Li, don't you recognize me?"
When she saw Wu Shuhan, Aunt Li's face changed slightly, and she said with some disgust, "It's Miss Wu, didn't I tell you? We won't move, so don't bother!"
Wu Shuhan smiled awkwardly, and then explained to Chu Huan, "I have been here once before, and I told them that I hope they can move out, but the people who live here don't really want to move out!"
Chu Huan nodded. He could understand the thoughts of the people living here. To a large extent, these people had already lived here since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is not so easy to get them to move out now.
things.
How these people move away is a matter for Wu Shuhan and others, and Chu Huan will not care about these things.
When everyone in the courtyard saw Wu Shuhan, they did not have the consciousness of being a tenant. They all came forward and told Wu Shuhan that either the roof of this house was leaking or the door of that house was broken. Anyway, they wanted Wu Shuhan to find a way to repair it.
.
Chu Huan went to see the situation in the entire courtyard.
How should I put it? Although there are various illegal constructions here, they are not serious. In fact, there are two periods of illegal construction of courtyards in the capital. The first one was when zq returned to his hometown. At that time, housing in the capital became a big problem.
, in order to solve their housing problems, many people began to build illegally.
The second period was when Beijing began to re-plan and demolish courtyard houses. In order to get more new houses, these people began to build illegally.
Now that zq has just begun to return home, the situation is not too serious yet.
It's just that Chu Huan is still not satisfied with this third-in courtyard, feeling it is a bit small.
"Let's go!"
Chu Huan preached to Wu Shuhan.
Wu Shuhan, who knew Chu Huan well, could tell at a glance that Chu Huan was not very satisfied with this place. This was the third courtyard they had seen today, but none of them made Chu Huan very satisfied.
"Boss, actually before this, people in the capital told me about a place. This place is OK in terms of size and historical background, but I've visited it before and it's hardly the same as it was before!"
Chu Huan, who was surrounded by nothing, asked, "Where?"
Wu Shuhan said, "The former Prince Heng's Mansion!"
Wu Shuhan then explained to Chu Huan, "Originally, Prince Qin's Mansion and Baylor's Mansion were generally where government units were located, but Prince Heng's Mansion was actually dilapidated during the Republic of China, and no one had repaired it. Even in some official data
There is no record of him in the world anymore.”
Chu Huan became interested in the Prince Heng's Mansion mentioned by Wu Shuhan. No matter how you put it, this is a Prince's Mansion!
In Chu Huan's view, no matter
No matter how much investment I make here, at the national level, I will definitely not sell this kind of prince's palace to myself. After all, it is already a historical relic!
Now that the other party is willing to mention this place to Wu Shuhan, it actually shows how dilapidated it is.
"I guess the other party didn't want to lose your investment, but they couldn't come up with a suitable place, so they found a place like this, right?"
Chu Huan smiled.
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "That's right. I've also gone to see the situation there. In fact, it can no longer be called a courtyard house. It should be called a large courtyard. There are a total of 56 families living in it, which is far more than the number of households living in an ordinary courtyard house."
, plus there was no planning at all, so the original appearance can no longer be seen!”
Chu Huan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look. After all, it was once a prince's palace!"
Chaoyangmen, Shaojiu Alley!
Well, even though Wu Shuhan had told Chu Huan that this place had become a messy courtyard, Chu Huan was still shocked by the chaos in front of him.
Chu Huan had no intention of going in. He just walked around the entire courtyard, took a look, and then asked Wu Shuhan, "Can the original design of this courtyard be found in the capital city government?"
Seeing Chu Huan ask this, Wu Shuhan knew that Chu Huan was moved, and said, "The design drawings must be gone, but with the floor plan, we can find what this courtyard looked like before!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Contact the Beijing City Government and tell them that we have bought this place. We will also ask them to find the original floor plan. Then we will find some experts here in the capital to restore the architectural style here as much as possible!"
"Boss, do you really want to buy this place?"
Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Huan in surprise.
Of course I have to buy it. This is now. My hometown needs all the funds to develop its economy before it can be sold. To put it bluntly, it will be impossible to buy this place again in ten or twenty years.
Even if my hometown cannot completely restore it, if it can at least restore part of it, then this is a cultural relic.
If Chu Huan buys it now, he is definitely copying it.
"Buy it. After all, this place was once a royal palace. After we negotiate the terms with the capital, we will begin to clear out the tenants here. We will renovate this place and use it as our residence in the capital in the future.
!」
Chu Huan said happily.
Seeing that Chu Huan had already made up his mind, Wu Shuhan said nothing and said, "I know!"
Wu Shuhan was naturally responsible for the specific matters. In the afternoon, Chu Huan saw the floor plan of Prince Heng's Mansion.
"Let's find an expert to fix it!"
After seeing the floor plan, Chu Huan decided to officially take over the place and started to repair it.
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Then I will contact the people in Beijing now."
Regarding Chu Huan's two investment projects in his hometown, his hometown is still discussing, and in such a large country, it is impossible to just discuss Chu Huan's affairs. In fact, even if they agree to Chu Huan's investment plan, these two
Issues such as local policies, supporting equipment, peripheral work, domestic impacts, etc. designed in this huge plan all need to be discussed and resolved one by one by my hometown, so it is impossible to know the answer now.
What Chu Huan can do now is actually to meet with the old man from time to time and answer new questions raised by him.
But just when Chu Huan was about to return to Xiangjiang, his hometown gave Chu Huan good news!
That is, my hometown has approved the application of Jiaku Bank to enter the banking industry in my hometown!
"However, this is not without conditions. In order to balance the domestic banks, there are some restrictions on Koko Bank's business in its hometown at this stage!"
As the actual contact person with Chu Huan, Mr. Yu informed Chu Huan of his hometown’s decision.
"First of all, domestic deposit business is not currently available at Koku Bank.
Involving, this is the most important red line for us to agree that Jiaku Bank will enter the banking industry in our hometown. If Director Chu cannot accept this, there is no need for us to continue the discussion!"
"No problem, we have no objection to this!" Chu Huan readily agreed to Mr. Yu's conditions.
In fact, even if they didn't mention this condition, Chu Huan had already been mentally prepared for it. Although the people in the country did not have much money to deposit in banks at this time, things cannot be viewed from this perspective. No matter how much or how little the money is, this
It’s all the hard-earned money of ordinary people in the country.
To put it bluntly, if JAKU Bank enters the storage business of the national banking industry at this time, if something goes wrong, it will definitely be a huge blow to the country at this time.
"In addition, the insurance business of Jiaku Bank cannot enter my hometown at this time!" Mr. Yu said the second condition of the country, and then added, "Of course, if we liberalize this policy in the future, we can guarantee that your insurance business will be more expensive."
We are among the first banks to obtain an insurance license!”
After thinking about this condition, Chu Huan agreed to the other party's request, "Okay!"
In Chu Huan's view, Jiaku Bank is already ahead of other foreign banks by being able to enter its hometown in the first place ahead of all foreign banks.
More importantly, the fact that the hometown side agreed to allow their Jiaku Bank to enter the hometown at this time actually means that they agree with the two plans they proposed at this stage.
This is a good start!
Mr. Yu continued, "The last condition is that now we can only open Shenghai and Pengcheng to Director Chu and your Jiaku Bank. If I mean, if Director Chu's two investment plans can go smoothly in the country in the future,
At the beginning, we will open your business in the cities where these two investment plans are located!"
Chu Huan nodded again, this rule was understandable, and smiled and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that Chu Huan agreed to his conditions so happily, Mr. Yu couldn't help but said, "Director Chu, you are very welcome to invest in my hometown. As for your two investment plans, to be honest, the bosses are going crazy now."
Yes, but I personally very much welcome your investment, Director Chu!”
Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, not because of his investment plan, but because in Chu Huan's opinion, Mr. Yu should not say such words to him at this time.
After a brief consideration, Chu Huan understood the key to the problem. This sentence should not be told to him by Mr. Yu on his own initiative, but someone above wanted to tell him this through Mr. Yu's mouth.
This also shows that these two investment plans will definitely not bear fruit in a short period of time, but some people above are very optimistic about this plan, so they want to use Mr. Yu’s words to reassure themselves!
"Thank you, Mr. Yu. These two plans are indeed quite important. It's time for our hometown to hold serious meetings and discuss them. It just so happens that we also need some preparations here. Let's all prepare ourselves now!"
Mr. Yu knew that Chu Huan understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "I understand, thank you, Director Chu, for understanding our difficulties."
Early the next morning!
Mr. Yu's residence was decorated with lanterns and began to become lively. Not only Mr. Yu's house, but also their courtyard was already lively. The entrance of the courtyard began to be decorated with lanterns and colors, and every household in the courtyard was preparing something.
The reason why this place is so lively is because the childhood sweethearts Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong who live in this courtyard are getting married.
Marriage at this time is not as troublesome as it will be in later generations, including picking up relatives, traveling in a caravan, taking photos, and holding a wedding in a hotel.
Both Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong wanted their wedding to be simple, so they finally decided to invite some relatives and friends, set up a few tables in the courtyard, and have a lively meal for everyone.
"come yet?"
Yu Hailiang, who had difficulty putting on a suit, was anxiously asking his friends around him.
"Not yet, but let me tell you Ryoko, is what you said true or false?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Will Mr. Chu really come to your wedding?"
The person who said this is called Cao Mu, a college classmate of Yu Hailiang and the governor of Ganlong Province.
"Can I lie to you about this? Mr. Chu told my father personally that he will definitely come to my wedding with Wei Hong today!"
Yu Hailiang preached excitedly.
Cao Mu also showed a hint of excitement and said, "If Mr. Chu can really come, I would like to thank you very much. If Mr. Chu hadn't sent the review materials to us in time, we wouldn't have been able to come."
Maybe I can get into college!"
Yu Hailiang nodded and sighed, "Yes, every one of us in this class needs to thank Mr. Chu properly!"
However, seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan had not come yet, which made Yu Hailiang start to get anxious.
"Brother Yu, it looks like the time has come. Let's get started. Who are you waiting for?"
Some of Mr. Yu's friends were also curiously asking Mr. Yu about the current situation.
Chen Siyao also came to attend the wedding of Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong. At this time, Chen Siyao was the one who understood the situation best among these people. He persuaded Mr. Yu, "Old Yu, since Mr. Chu promised to come, he must come. I
Let’s start first. Maybe Mr. Chu’s side is delayed by something. Don’t miss the wedding of our two children!”
Seeing this, Mr. Yu could only nod his head and said, "It seems like this is the only way to go!"
Then Mr. Yu began to greet the people who came to help at home to come to the table and prepare for dinner.
"Sorry, sorry!"
At this time, Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan arrived belatedly.
Seeing Chu Huan coming, Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao hurriedly greeted her, and their actions made the wedding attendees a little curious.
"Who are these two people? What's going on with Lao Yu and Lao Chen? It's so grand?"
"I don't know, but looking at the way these two people are dressed, they don't seem to be ordinary people, right?"
Nowadays, most people in the capital still wear plain work clothes, but Chu Huan is wearing a black windbreaker today, while Wu Shuhan is wearing a beige windbreaker, paired with a white shirt and jeans.
.
Although the two of them tried their best to dress more simply, they were still very different from what everyone else wore at the scene.
"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry. When I arrived, I received a call from Xiangjiang, so it was delayed for some time. Didn't it delay the wedding of the couple?"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Mr. Yu said happily, "No, no, Mr. Chu, if you can come, you have already given those two children a lot of face!"
Chen Siyao smiled and said, "Let's sit down first. Now that Director Chu has arrived, the wedding should begin!"
Mr. Yu nodded and immediately led Chu Huan to the main table and sat down.
As soon as Chu Huan sat down, Cao Mu couldn't help but walked over.
"Mr. Chu, I am from Ganlong Province. I have always wanted to express my gratitude to Mr. Chu for his help to us before!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, I don't want everyone's hopes to fail!"
"Mr. Chu!"
At this moment, Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong walked out of the room.
It really has the atmosphere of this era. Yu Hailiang is wearing a suit that always looks a little awkward, Dong Wei is wearing a red coat, and he has a beaded flower from this era on his head.
"Congratulations to both of you on your wedding. This is a gift from Shu Han and I to you. Don't dislike it!"
While talking, Wu Shuhan next to Chu Huan had already handed over the gift that Chu Huan had prepared. It was a couple's watch that was originally intended to be given to Mo Youheng and his girlfriend, the young lady from the Rong family.
"Mr. Chu, isn't this too expensive?"
Although Yu Hailiang didn't recognize the brands of these two watches, he knew from their exquisite packaging that they were not cheap items.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "No.
Nothing expensive, these are just two ordinary watches, you two can just accept them with confidence!"
Seeing what Chu Huan said, Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong were ready to accept it.
When Chen Siyao on the side saw this pair of watches, his expression changed. Although he did not own a branded watch, he knew the brands of these two watches as he had frequently traveled abroad for inspections in the past year.
I couldn't help but tugged at Mr. Yu next to me.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Yu asked softly.
"When I was inspecting this brand abroad, I saw the boss there wearing it. I heard from them that this brand seems to be called Vacheron Constantin, and the cheapest one costs hundreds of thousands!"
Chen Siyao couldn't help but preach.
When Mr. Yu heard the price, his expression changed. A gift from a person like Chu Huan would definitely not be the cheapest. Thinking of this, Mr. Yu hurriedly came between Chu Huan and the newlyweds.
"Director Chu, this gift is too valuable, the two of them cannot accept it!"
Mr. Yu's actions also made Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong feel again that the gift from Chu Huan might be more valuable than they imagined, so naturally it was impossible to accept it.
Chu Huan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Mr. Yu, I took out this thing, but there is no reason to take it back. Besides, this thing should be said to be expensive. In fact, this is what outsiders say. In fact, this brand of watch
, has been purchased by my wife. To put it bluntly, it is a watch produced by our own company.
Don’t they all say that when we get married at this time, the groom’s family should prepare a watch, sewing machine, and bicycle?
Now that I have a watch, I can do as the Romans do!"
After saying this, Chu Huan stuffed the couple's watches into the hands of Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong.
Although this thing is expensive, to put it bluntly, two watches only cost about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. Mr. Yu's status in his hometown at this time is much more important than the price of these two watches.
The most important thing is that Yu Hailiang actually represents their group of college students. Chu Huan has already invested a lot of review materials before, and now a pair of watches can be regarded as an additional investment!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that the two of them still wanted to refuse, Chu Huan smiled and said, "Okay, today is your wedding day, so you can push them back and forth like this."
It’s boring. Besides, aren’t we going to start eating soon? I came here hungry!”
After all, Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong didn't know the true value of these two watches. Seeing what Chu Huan said now, they didn't refuse anything.
As Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan sat down again, the wedding began. Although everything was simple, there were still the necessary speeches, but there was no host.
As the man's parent, Mr. Yu stood up and said some words of congratulations. The next step was for Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong to toast at the table.
"Boss, how is the food here?"
Wu Shuhan sat next to Chu Huan and asked with a smile.
Chu Huan said, "It's very good. It has different characteristics from the food in Xiangjiang!"
However, Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan didn't have time to talk much. At this time, Yu Hailiang and Dong Weihong had already come to their table to toast!
When the two of them left, they were Yu Hailiang's classmates. Like Cao Mu, most of them were from the capital, and they naturally respected Chu Huan very much.
Therefore, Chu Huan never stopped toasting, so Chu Huan took a glass of white wine and drank it from beginning to end.
"Director Chu, regarding your company's plan to donate a school in your hometown, the superiors have already agreed. I was supposed to tell you about this after today."
Mr. Yu spoke to Chu Huan with a somewhat rosy face at this time.
Chu Huan showed a happy expression and said some words, "This is a good thing. Education is always the foundation of a country. I also hope that more people in my hometown can read and learn!"
Mr. Yu exclaimed, “Dr. Chu’s sentiments are admirable!”
"It's just doing what you can!"
Chu Huan smiled.
Mr. Yu said, "But Mr. Chu, when it comes to donating scholarships, I still hope that Mr. Chu can concentrate them in some cities first. As for the impoverished mountainous areas and rural areas that Miss Wu mentioned, we may have to wait."
Chu Huan showed a puzzled look. In Chu Huan's view, there is no shortage of schools in cities, but rather some rural areas and poor mountainous areas are in greater need.
Seeing this, Mr. Yu explained, "It's like this. Although we also want to implement these in rural areas and poor mountainous areas, the reserve force of teachers is really stretched!"
Chu Huan understood what Mr. Yu meant. To put it simply, the current situation is that Chu Huan can donate money to establish schools in certain areas, but it cannot solve the problem of teachers.
After all, building schools is a problem that can be solved with money, but once the schools are established, the number of teachers does not necessarily solve the problem.
"That's it!" Chu Huan thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I think it's better to focus on some backward cities first. To put it bluntly, there is actually no shortage of schools and teachers in big cities, and some
It's different in backward cities. They must not be lacking in the number of teachers, but what they lack is the place to teach?"
Chen Siyao couldn't help but said, "Dr. Chu, we are really grateful for your help in our education!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Professor Chen, if you say that again, then I really don't know what to say!"
After everyone laughed, Chu Huan told the two of them another thing.
"You two, the matter in Beijing has almost been settled now, so I will return to Xiangjiang in the next two days. As for the two projects I have in my hometown, I ask you to contact us at any time!"
Chu Huan's visit to his hometown this time was actually for the expanded version of the Cangjiang Plan and the rare earth development plan. Now his hometown knows about these two things, and Chu Huan is also preparing to return to Xiangjiang. As for the subsequent progress, everything is still
We have to wait until our hometown makes a decision before we can continue!
And Chu Huan is indeed a bit busy this year. After the incident in Xiangjiang is over, Chu Huan's business has begun to focus on the world. After completing the trip to his hometown, Chu Huan will return to Xiangjiang to rest for a month, and then go to South Korea to solve the problem.
The acquisition of Dongming Timber.
Then Chu Huan will go to Brazil and Australia!
Mr. Yu said, "I will report the news that you are leaving the capital, Director Chu, to the superiors, but I think that before you leave, Director Chu, the old man will definitely want to see you!"
Mr. Yu knows that the old man is very interested in the two investment plans proposed by Chu Huan. As long as the old man is interested, it means that Chu Huan's two investment plans have a great possibility of success, so Taicai
There will be something like this.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "The old man already knows the time when I will leave my hometown, and he has also told me about this. I will go to say goodbye to him with my own children at that time!"
Mr. Yu said, "Then let's say goodbye to Director Chu here first!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Yu raised his glass!
