Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 798 Occupying Land Given to China Resources, Jiao Shude of Beijiao (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

In the past, when expressing gratitude to someone, it was customary to bring them something.

However, there are certain rules to follow when bringing gifts to leaders, especially someone like Director Liao.

They've seen the world.

So after discussing it with Lao Hu, we decided to bring Director Liao two bottles of red wine, as well as samples of products made in the local dialect that the factory would produce in the future.

The samples were all from the local dialect, and the red wine was produced by Lao Hu.

After packing their things, the two brothers skipped dinner and went straight to Director Liao's house.

This time, Fang Yan didn't drive that conspicuous Mercedes; instead, he borrowed a Jeep from the hospital.

The main drawback is that you need to bring an assistant and bodyguard when you go out, and the fact that a sports car can only seat two people becomes apparent.

The destination is No. 35, Fuwai Street, Xicheng District.

It's about six kilometers from Xiehe Hospital to here. It's not only get out of class break time but also rush hour. It took Fang Yan and the others about half an hour to get there.

This is why students in Xicheng District no longer commute; it's really difficult to manage during peak hours after class.

My older sister was lucky to be on a motorcycle when she came back from Peking University. If she had been in a car, she probably would have been stuck in traffic and it would have taken her at least another twenty minutes to get home.

After arriving at their destination and parking the car, Fang Yan asked Lao Hu:

Do you know where Director Liao lives?

"I know, I've been here before," Old Hu nodded and said.

Hearing that Lao Hu knew the way, Fang Yan was relieved and got out of the car with his assistant and bodyguard Lao Cui, then followed Lao Hu to the entrance of a courtyard house.

There's no need to knock; the door is already open.

There were also two jeeps parked at the entrance.

"Director Liao!" someone shouted from the doorway.

"Who is it?" The crowd heard a female voice respond from inside.

They replied:
"We've come to see Director Liao."

A moment later, a middle-aged woman wearing sleeves and an apron came out. Seeing Fang Yan and Lao Hu, she immediately recognized Lao Hu, whom she had seen before, and said to him:
"Hey, I remember you, you came here last time."

"Hello, ma'am!" Old Hu nodded to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman nodded to Old Hu:
"Hello, hello, but Director Liao is currently receiving treatment and is not available to receive guests."

Old Hu asked:

Is he sick?

The middle-aged woman said:

"It's just a minor cold, nothing serious."

Lao Hu said:

"Oh, then please inform them that Hu Daohu and Fang Yan have arrived."

Upon hearing Lao Hu's words, the middle-aged woman was taken aback, and then asked:

Who is the dialect?

“Me,” Fang Yan replied.

The middle-aged woman immediately nodded:
"Alright, I'll go and report it right away."

He then jogged into the courtyard, leaving Fang Yan and the others to wait there.

Hu Daohu whispered to Fang Yan:

"This woman is Director Liao's personal assistant, basically a nanny. I heard she's related to Director Liao's family."

Fang Yan nodded:
"I see it."

Generally speaking, the nannies in a leader's home are professionally trained. They are also trained to be doctors or even have security work. This family is clearly not up to standard. The door was not even closed, which is too lax.

After a while, the middle-aged woman came running out and greeted them, speaking in dialect:

"Come on, come on, let's go inside quickly!"

"Director Liao is available now."

Everyone nodded and followed, carrying their gifts.

His courtyard is much larger than Fang Yan's, with a total of three sections.

There are more rooms and better greenery.

Fang Yan and the others followed the nanny inside, only to find that there were security personnel under the archway in the front yard. Among them was a person Fang Yan had seen several times before; he was one of the people working for Director Liao.

Okay, I guess I oversimplified things.

Although the gate was open, you would encounter these people as soon as you entered the front yard.

They all look like trained fighters, and they probably have weapons on them. Who could withstand that?

However, Fang Yan and his companions had someone to guide them, so they simply nodded and went inside without even having their identities checked.

On the way, the nanny also said to Fang Yan:

"By the way, Comrade Fang Yan, could you take a look at Director Liao later? He has a bit of a cold, and he says he has chest pain and phlegm in his throat that he can't cough up easily."

Fang Yan was taken aback and asked:

"You just said that someone is already seeing them, right?" Nine times out of ten, those who can treat these leaders are members of the Central Medical Team.

Why should I go and calculate it myself?
The nanny said:

"Hey, your medical skills are much better! It's been mentioned in the newspapers and on the radio."

Fang Yan was too lazy to explain to the nanny, and simply nodded:

"Okay, I'll let Director Liao take a look when I see the situation is suitable."

If there are any big shots involved, then the dialect is just ignored.

You can't even cure a simple cold? Are you kidding me?
Soon they arrived at the main hall of the Intermediate People's Court and met Director Liao.

As he gestured for everyone to sit down, he asked:
What brings you here?

He said in dialect:

"I heard you had a cold, so I came to see you."

Director Liao was amused and said:

"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't go around telling everyone I had a cold. You must have just heard it from Sister Wu."

Hu Daohu also laughed and said:

"Haha, it's to thank you for helping me acquire the land in Guangdong."

Director Liao waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Acquiring land is easy, it's not a big deal. The key is that you invest in building the warehouse yourself."

In Director Liao's eyes, that place wasn't anything valuable.

The people on their side approved it without any hesitation; he didn't have to say a word.

Hu Daohu said:
"It's about a hundred acres close to the border, and a road has been built there. Moreover, with the special permit for goods supplied to Hong Kong, the goods can clear customs quickly 24 hours a day. That makes all the difference."

Hu Daohu was referring to the convenience provided by the policy.

Director Liao was aware of this as well.

He said:
“We have a part to share, it’s what we should do. And once you’ve fixed it, maybe other people will rent the warehouse there in the future. It will not only be convenient for you, but it will also attract other overseas Chinese businessmen.”

Upon hearing this, Lao Hu and Fang Yan finally understood that there was such a plan behind it.

After all, it's a transit point close to Hong Kong, so other people would definitely need to use the warehouse if they were to use it.

Director Liao said:
"By the way, this time we approved 180 mu, you can build as much as you want, and we've also prepared some expandable land for you, making a total of 500 mu."

The dialect was somewhat surprising. One mu is approximately equal to 666.67 square meters, so 500 mu would be approximately 333335 square meters.

This is about the size of a small general aviation airport.

People with dialects are even more curious about exactly where in Shenzhen this place is.

He asked Director Liao:
"Director Liao, what exactly is this place?"

Director Liao said:
"Wenjindu Port".

"The border of Ta Kwu Ling in the New Territories?" Fang Yan asked.

Director Liao nodded:

"You seem to know quite a bit about that area. Yes, that's the place."

Fang Yan understood now; it was highly likely that they had taken over the location of the original China Resources base from 1980.

Historically, Shenzhen's first foreign-invested warehousing project, "China Resources Warehousing Base," was established in this area in 1980, covering an area of ​​120 acres.

Located adjacent to the Shenzhen River, it facilitates multimodal transport by water and land. It is only 3 kilometers away from the Luohu marshalling yard of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, and the railway branch line can directly connect to the warehouse area.

As the core channel for supplying fresh goods from the mainland to Hong Kong at that time, accounting for 70% of the freight volume, the surrounding area had already formed a primary logistics distribution center. When the government was planning, they really treated them as their own people.

Just then, Director Liao said again:

"By the way, Fang Yan, there happens to be a senior figure in your field of traditional Chinese medicine here today, and his apprentice is your classmate."

Fang Yan was taken aback:
"Who?"

Director Liao pointed towards the study and called out:

"Dr. Jiao."

Soon, two people came out of the study: a middle-aged man and a young man carrying a medicine box.

Fang Yan immediately recognized the middle-aged man; he had seen a photo of him in his previous life.

He was one of Li Zhengji's masters, a renowned insect doctor on par with Zhu Liangchun, known as "Northern Jiao" in the "Southern Zhu and Northern Jiao" duo.

"This is Jiao Shude, Dr. Jiao!" Director Liao introduced to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan quickly got up.

At this moment, Jiao Shude was already smiling and cupping his hands in greeting to Fang Yan:

"Young friend Fang, I've long admired your name!"

There will be more this afternoon.
