Chapter 104: You Should Also Develop Real Estate

  After Vice Mayor Liu sat down, Liu Pengfei called the waiter and ordered two more dishes. Hei Zi was very hungry and ate voraciously for a while. Vice Mayor Liu personally poured wine for Hei Zi, who picked up his cup and drank it in one gulp, saying: "Vice Mayor Liu, you drink too."

  Deputy Director Liu smiled and watched Hei Zi eating, when Hei Zi was almost done, he said: "Hei Zi, I came this time to discuss something with you. We can't meet during the day, so I asked you out tonight."

  "Hei Zi sneered, 'You used to be able to catch me talking on the streets when you were the town mayor, but now that you've been promoted, it's inconvenient for you?'"

  "Alright, Heizi, you're always teasing me, as if I owe you something." Deputy Director Liu said discontentedly.

  Liu Pengfei did not expect Heizi to dare speak to Deputy Director Liu like that, the two of them were just like brothers who could talk about anything.

  "Heizi, speak properly, Deputy Director Liu really has something to find you." Liu Pengfei said again as he poured wine for Heizi.

  "How much will it cost, Honorable District Chief?" Hei Zi asked with a smile.

  "I'm telling you, Heizi, what do you take me for? Do I only meet with you to ask for money?" Deputy Director Liu was a bit angry, but then he thought about it and realized that Heizi wasn't wrong. Every time he took the initiative to find Heizi, it was always to ask him to spend money on something.

  Hei Zi smiled and didn't speak, holding his wine cup and looking at Deputy Director Liu. Deputy Director Liu said: "Hey, Hei Zi, every time I look for you, it's to spend money, no wonder."

  Hei Zi took a sip of wine and patted his chest with his hand, saying: "Director, whatever you need, just say it. If I, Cheng Hei Zi, can help your esteemed family, I will definitely do so."

  Deputy Director Liu chuckled and said: "I'm not old either, don't keep calling me an old man."

  "You're a parent official, of course you have to call them old folks." Heizi defended himself.

  Director Liu also didn't argue with Hei Zi about what to call him, and said: "Hei Zi, I want you to also engage in real estate development, set an example for the district's real estate merchants. Every time there is a demolition and relocation, it's always chaotic, the relocated households go to petition everywhere. I want you to be a model for them, and do a relocation that satisfies the people."

  "Haha, this is interesting, but I've never done real estate development, I don't know about that." Hei Zi looked at Liu Deputy Director with concern.

  "It's actually simple, just set up a real estate development company under your company name. I'll find the professionals for you, and let your people do the work that ordinary people can do. The scale doesn't have to be too big, I just want to use your company to change the current demolition and relocation atmosphere."

  Deputy Director Liu said it was very simple, but Hei Zi smiled and shook his head: "Deputy Director Liu, it's not as simple as you say. If I let all the demolition households be satisfied, I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt. Besides, isn't this putting me on fire?"

  Liu Pengfei took the opportunity to mention to Deputy Director Liu the problem of nail households in demolition, some of which were indeed offered too low by developers, while others were not like that, they were asking for exorbitant prices.

  Deputy Director Liu nodded and said: "We will follow the national regulations for demolition compensation, if someone makes trouble I'll help you think of a solution."

  "Hei Zi thought for a moment and said, 'Deputy Director Liu, this can be tried, but the funding issue you have to solve for me. Offending people is inevitable, at that time you'll have to back me up.'"

  Deputy Director Liu nodded and said: "Funding is no problem, I'll go to the bank in person and use your steel factory as collateral for a loan of 100 million. As for the land purchase, you can pay later, one or two months from now. Housing prices are always rising, developing real estate will definitely make money, so just be bold and do it. If someone causes trouble, that's your problem to deal with. Just remember, don't cause any big problems that can't be handled."

  Hei Zi poured wine for Deputy Director Liu and said: "Alright, it's settled with just one word."

  After the two men came to an agreement, Hei Zi said: "Deputy Director Liu, since I'm helping you out so much, won't you also help me out?"

  "What's it? Speak up. As long as it's within my authority, doesn't break the law, and doesn't violate regulations, I'll agree to it," said Deputy Director Liu with a big smile.

  Hei Zi looked at Liu Pengfei and said: "My elder brother is just a director of the demolition office, how about promoting him to a higher position?"

  Liu Deputy Director looked at Hei Zi and smiled, saying: "Hei Zi, Peng Fei is only 22 years old this year and has already reached the deputy department level, which is not bad. Moreover, as a deputy director, it's still a bit difficult for me to promote him."

  Hei Zi put down his wine cup and said: "Alright, let's talk about it when you're promoted. For now, what do you want my older brother to do?"

  Deputy Director Liu thought for a moment and said: "You choose."

  "Heizi thought for a moment and said: 'Let you be my secretary.'"

  Deputy Director Liu burst out laughing after hearing Hei Zi's words and said: "Peng Fei didn't even get into college, how can he be my secretary?"

  Liu Pengfei felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it. Heizi saw that Liu Pengfei was not happy and said: "If you can't be the secretary, then be the secretary-general of the district committee, you decide."

  Deputy Director Liu didn't want to get entangled with Heizi anymore, so he said: "Heizi, from now on, whatever you say goes. You can do whatever you want. Go back and think about how your development company was established."

  Heizi poured wine while saying, "This is easy, tomorrow I'll let Ercheng go find you, have your people take him to handle the procedures, the office location is in the brother company's development zone house, just hang a sign and it's done."

  Liu Pengfei snatched the wine bottle from Heizi and said: "Heizi, stop drinking, or you'll have too much."

  Heizi obediently put down his wine cup and said: "Alright, let's go, Father and Mother Officials, shall we sing a song?"

  Liu Deputy Director saw Hei Zi was a bit drunk and said: "Forget it, I should go home."

  "Hei Zi smiled and said: 'That's right, going back late will get me scolded by my sister-in-law.'"

  Deputy Director Liu smiled and said: "What did you just say?"

  "Hei Zi said: 'Going back late will get me scolded by my sister-in-law.'"

  Liu Deputy Director nodded and said: "Heizi, from now on, just call me that. What's with the 'Deputy Director', it's so hard to listen to what old people say. I still like hearing you call me 'Ge'."

  Hei Zi stepped forward and put his arm around Deputy Director Liu's shoulder, saying: "Alright, from now on I'll call you Brother Liu, but being a brother isn't easy."

  "What's wrong with being one?" Deputy Director Liu asked curiously.

  "When I get into trouble, you have to help me out, like if I hit someone, you have to cover for me." Hei Zi said with a smile, his face pressed against Deputy Director Liu's shoulder.

  "Hei Zi, I've said it before, don't stir up trouble, now you're also an entrepreneur. Later on, I'll arrange for you to be some kind of representative or committee member, and when there are meetings, you can go and show your face. Get in touch with people from the district and city who have real power, and it will be easier for you to do things in the future."

  Deputy Director Liu said that now it's better to know the real people in power to get things done, Hei Zi replied with a mouthful of agreement: "Good, then thank you, Brother Liu."

  Liu Pengfei drove Liu Deputy Director back home after leaving the hotel. As soon as the car started moving, Heizi perked up. Two or three cups of liquor had no effect on him. He took out his phone and dialed Zhu Xiaofei to ask about the situation. Zhu Xiaofei and the others had already returned home, and everyone was fine. Heizi let out a long sigh of relief.
