Chapter 32: Doing things requires money

  By eleven o'clock in the morning, the collapsed wall in front of Tang's house was completely cleared. Tang Yu also asked the bespectacled man to supervise the construction in the afternoon and hurry up to temporarily repair the old man's collapsed wall. As for the demolition and relocation of Lao Tang Alley, it couldn't be settled for the time being.

  "'Lin Yin Avenue' is gone, Tang Yu also completely relieved, 'Sheng Geer, I'll treat you to lunch today?'"

  "How can I invite you when you're older than me? Today, I'll invite you instead."

  "You can't pay, you're still a student, and I've already made you late for class, so it's only right that I treat!"

  "Then I won't argue with you anymore. Find a place for me to soak in and wash off the dirt and dust, you arrange it?"

  "Hmm... alright, let's go, we're still going to 'Jiangling Ren'..."

  The outer layer of 'Jiangling people' is a luxurious small mixed pool, single room type, only VIP level can enjoy it, with extremely high grade.

  The old and young men who had finished steaming got back into the pool, two extremely beautiful women wearing only transparent swimsuits quietly served a set of Kung Fu tea sets and sat by the pool waiting. The scene was very warm and tempting, Tang Yu was used to this style and didn't think much of it, but Tang Sheng hadn't had such an absurd experience in twenty years, at that time he was a pure-hearted young man.

  In the clear pool water, Tang Sheng's something stood up like a spear, a pair of luxurious and swollen purple-black fierce-looking things.

  Tang Yu looked at him with a smile, "Sheng Ge, you've really opened my eyes, the younger generation is indeed to be feared! Haha..."

  The two bathing beauties had already seen him and were one by one revealing their charming and alluring selves, constantly sending flirtatious signals to Tang Sheng.

  Tang Sheng felt a bit embarrassed and waved his hand at them, "Stay outside, the young master's body is pure and spotless, don't stare."

  Two girls covered their mouths and giggled softly, with eyes that seemed to be able to squeeze out water, but when others wanted them to leave, they had no choice but to get up and go.

  Tang Yu also said: "Sheng, this kind of thing I won't force you, you decide for yourself. If you want to play around, any woman from Jiangling is yours for the taking, even if it's the manager of the brothel, I'll get her for you to have fun with, don't hold back."

  "Uncle Wei, let's not talk about this. The most Tang Bing can do is go to rehab. I'll still be in contact with Ning Xin over the next couple of days and keep an eye on her to get things done. Also, you mentioned that you're interested in the bearing factory land, which isn't easy to handle. However, if you can change the district government's opinion about it, I might be able to help through Ning Xin by talking to her dad. Yesterday at noon, she and I were eating at the pot roast restaurant, and I brought up the bearing factory on purpose. She inadvertently revealed that maybe next year the district government will plan a project for Jiangxiao Street."

  Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily said: "Next year... Alas, the relocation of Lao Tang Alley has been a headache for me all along. It's not that I'm boasting in front of you, but if it were somewhere else, I would have torn it down long ago. However, my old man also lives in the alley, and besides, I don't want to get too tense with the district government. I've never done real estate before, and only now do I realize how deep the water is here. The relocation plan for Lao Tang Alley was finally worked out after much discussion, but neither the common people nor the district government are satisfied..."

  Tang Sheng looked at him with a satisfied expression. You're quite good at pretending to be pitiful in front of me, Tang Yu.

  "Mr. Rong, you are a giant in the business world, I think your vision can be far-sighted, think about it, three years later, Jiangxiao Street will be under your feet, that sense of accomplishment and the huge profits to be enjoyed, nothing else is worth mentioning!"

  Tang Yu smiled again, "Sheng Ge... always make the worst plan, don't dare to think it's too perfect. I also want to contribute more to society, but in this era, even if you do good things, no one will praise you, instead, the infamy will come rolling in..."

  "You and I are humble, but from Ning Xin's tone, I can tell that her father is very dissatisfied with the Jiang Yu Group's handling of the old Tang Alley demolition and relocation case. He also hinted that you have someone backing you up, and I know he was implying my dad. But my dad is a man of principle, and he won't tolerate any nonsense. If the old Tang Alley demolition really goes wrong, my dad will definitely investigate to the bottom of it. You should be prepared for that."

  This remark was a direct slap in the face to Tang Yu, and his initial idea of using Tang Sheng as a scapegoat had come to nothing. With two car-smashing incidents and his son Tang Bing's involvement, Tang Yu no longer dared to underestimate this young man.

  "Yes, what I'm really worried about is that if this matter isn't handled properly, it will lose face for Secretary Tang, so I've been hesitating to act."

  He actually spoke, and smoothly let Tang Sheng take his father's favor for him.

  "Bo Yu, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

  "Shengge, you say, I can now listen to what you're saying!"

  Tang Sheng said, "Don't you want to listen? Are you afraid that this is all my dad's idea? Old fox, no matter how hard you try, you still can't outsmart me. The one who truly has the upper hand is me, your young master! Heh... when you wake up from your dream, I'll make sure you're truly shocked."

  "You can take the new relocation plan for Lao Tang Alley to discuss with the district government about the idea of 600 mu of land for the bearing factory. In my estimation, it's just a matter of resettling several hundred laid-off workers from the bearing factory and giving them some severance pay. But compared to future benefits, what do these sums of money amount to? The municipal party committee is also paying attention to the relocation of Lao Tang Alley; if this is done well, the district government will definitely make concessions."

  Tang Yu nodded, for him, the Lao Tang Xiang project really couldn't be messed up. This was the first major project since Secretary Tang took office, and if he messed it up, he would have to take a backseat, which wouldn't be worth it. Just for this reason alone, compromise was necessary.

  "Brother, you don't understand, I'm not on good terms with the two leaders of the district government. The district party secretary is an old stubborn man, no need to mention him. Ning, the district head, has charisma, but at present, he also has a certain opinion about me. Using the resettlement case of Lao Tang Alley to talk to them would be suspected of being threatening."

  "I'm suggesting this, can't you be a bit more tactful? First present the planning concept for Jiangxiao Street, then reveal your new plan for relocation and resettlement in Lao Tang Alley. This way they'll understand that there's no threat, everyone will have a clear idea."

  "This matter I go say definitely no good, official masters all want face, privately gamble a mouthful of air, fear will spoil big affair."

  "Alright, you find an agency to handle the bearing factory's affairs, and everyone will turn a blind eye in private."

  "Who can I trust? If this gets out, others will surely take advantage of it first. It's really because my relationship with the district government is strained."

  "This is it... Don't you always trust me? A friend of mine can register a company to act as an agent, just taking a commission, and that's all there is to it. On the surface, everything looks fine, and privately, even if someone knows the truth, no one will expose it."

  Tang Yu nodded, this method is also feasible, the agency can handle it by itself, but Tang Sheng has to be pushed away and cannot communicate with the district government. Who knows how much money will be spent on this? Tang Sheng has connections and background, he can take all the commission as long as things can be settled.

  "Alright then, let's do it this way. In the next few days, I'll bring up a new case from Lao Tang Alley and you can inform District Chief Ning."

  "Don't worry, Bo Ge, I'm going to find Ning Xin today and also take a look at Tang Bing's situation... By the way, regarding the registration of the agency company, you still need to pay first. I don't want too much, just give me a car and 5 million yuan in registered capital will do..."

  Tang Yu knew that saving money was not coming now, what to do without spending money? He said: "Still want cash? Where's the car?"

  "Hey, you're a shrewd person, I'd be happy to deal with you. The car, of course, I'll pay cash for it."

  "Alright, let's put it this way, Brother Sheng. Whenever you want, that car trunk is still 1 million, can we do that?"

  "En, thank you Uncle Yu. I have another request, the north street of the bearing factory's future facade, I want to rent a 50 mu piece of land."
