Love That Extends Life

Chapter 348 I can't give the venue to others for free

Xu Guangchang hired people to clean up the debris, level the site, renovate the dilapidated and leaky houses, and hire people to guard the site. He invested no less than 100,000 yuan in all these.

Xu Guangchang would never think about how much money this site has saved him or how much profit it has made for him. All he thinks is that since he has spent his money on this place, this place belongs to him.

Xu Guangchang had occupied this idle ceramic factory for ten years. Although people from the county's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission raised objections, he managed to resolve the issue. Later, no one cared about it, and this place became his site. Even people in the town thought Xu Guangchang had bought the idle ceramic factory.

The very next day, Secretary Liu was worried and went to the idle ceramic factory again. He found no signs of moving, so he found Xu Guangchang again.

The 203 Military Hospital project was finally decided to be located in Sanli Town, Nanling County. The leaders of Nanling County paid special attention to this news. They knew that if the Chinese medicine plantation and Chinese medicine processing plant of the military hospital could be successfully built and put into use, it would become a major political achievement project in Nanling County. Therefore, the county party committee and government were determined to go all out to make all preparations and auxiliary work.

Secretary Sui Xiangdong paid particular attention to this matter. He specifically instructed his secretary Liu Wei to personally supervise matters related to the land clearance and delivery for use of the project, and stressed that the construction date of the project must not be delayed for any reason.

After receiving the instructions from Secretary Sui Xiangdong, Secretary Liu Wei felt a great sense of responsibility. He knew that this task was related to the development and image of Nanling County and could not be taken lightly. So he took quick action and personally took charge of the land use issue of the project.

The land for the Chinese medicinal material plantation was delivered and put into use smoothly, which made Secretary Liu Wei very satisfied. When he began to check the land for the Chinese medicinal material processing plant, he found that the idle land for the ceramic factory was occupied by Xu Guangchang, so he politely informed Xu Guangchang. He believed that Xu Guangchang would be sensible to make room, so that he could deliver the land smoothly and his work would be completed.

But the next day, when Secretary Liu Wei saw that Xu Guangchang had not moved anything, he became somewhat dissatisfied and planned to explain the interests involved to Xu Guangchang, otherwise something serious would happen.

Secretary Liu Wei happened to see Xu Guangchang in the idle ceramics factory. He said to Xu Guangchang with a serious face: "Boss Xu, we need to talk about that piece of land again."

Xu Guangchang frowned, feeling a little impatient, but still replied politely: "Secretary Liu, at first I thought it was a local who took a fancy to this site, but then I asked around and found out that it was an outsider who wanted to invest and build a factory here. In that case, I can't just give them the site. No matter what, we can't let outsiders get away with it, right?"

Secretary Liu sighed and said helplessly: "Boss Xu, what you said about outsiders coming here to invest and build a factory is true, but you don't know that the outsiders who came this time are not ordinary people. They are all military doctors and scientific research experts from the military hospital. In fact, this is the 203 Military Hospital in Nanshi that built a traditional Chinese medicine processing factory here. You know, this military project is very important to our county. If the project cannot proceed smoothly because of the problem of this piece of land, the county leaders will definitely be very angry. This will not only affect the economic development of our county, but may also bring unnecessary trouble to you and me."

After hearing this, Xu Guangchang's face turned gloomy. He realized that this problem was much more serious than he thought. He didn't care about the military doctors and scientific research experts from other places. If he really offended the county leaders, the consequences would be disastrous. But he was unwilling to give up his own interests. After all, the land was of great significance to him.

After careful consideration, Xu Guangchang finally made a decision. He said to Secretary Liu, "Okay, Secretary Liu, I can consider withdrawing from this matter. But to guarantee the smooth vacancy of the venue, it depends on whether there is a certain amount of financial compensation. You know, I have invested a lot of money here, and I can't just give the venue to others for free."

Secretary Liu Wei was a little unhappy after hearing this, but he didn't show it. He also knew that Xu Guangchang was a tough guy. Xu Guangchang himself was a representative of the county people's congress, and Xu Guangchang's brother-in-law Yang Benke was the deputy mayor of Sanli Town. The father of that deputy mayor Yang Benke, Yang Qinghua, was the mayor of Nanling County. Although Yang Qinghua has retired, he still has a great influence in Nanling County. The reason why Xu Guangchang was able to start from scratch and achieve today's achievements is inseparable from the support of Yang Benke and Yang Qinghua.

"Boss Xu, since you don't plan to get involved in this matter, what do you want to do? I think you should just forget it. Hasn't the county already given you the moving expenses? Logically speaking, this idle ceramic factory belongs to the assets of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The leaders didn't plan to give you the moving expenses at first, but considering that you, Boss Xu, have made a lot of contributions to the development of the county, they gave you this money."

"Secretary Liu, you are not an outsider, so you and I will not hide anything. The county gave me 10,000 yuan for moving expenses. I am grateful for the leader's hard work, but it is too little. It is not enough for me to hire a crane and a transport vehicle. But I will never make things difficult for the county. After all, our county is not so wealthy, so I don't want to let outsiders get away with it. Since the other party is a military doctor and a scientific research expert, I can't afford to offend them, but I have my own way to make them compensate me with money, otherwise they can't have a good life here. It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Now that they have come to our little piece of land, I want to see how they can stir up trouble?"

Secretary Liu Wei saw that Xu Guangchang did not want to hand over the venue easily. He knew that he could not convince Xu Guangchang, but he had done his job well and he just had to go back and report to his superiors. As for Xu Guangchang's desire to occupy the venue and ask for compensation, that was not something he could solve.

At this time, Secretary Liu Wei had a smile on his face. "Boss Xu, you are a wise man, and I have said what I should say. As for the next thing, Boss Xu, you should think carefully before doing it. Haha, there is a saying that goes, it is better to be safe than sorry."

Xu Guangchang raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sly smile. He already had a plan in mind.

"Secretary Liu, thank you for your reminder. Don't worry, I know what to do."

Secretary Liu Wei nodded and prepared to leave. However, just as he turned around, Xu Guangchang called him again.

"Secretary Liu, wait a minute. Secretary Liu has come to my home, how can I not treat him to a meal! Let's go to the hotel on the street and have a few drinks."

Liu Wei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Boss Xu, we can't drink today. I still have a lot of things to do. Let's get together another day!"
