Chapter 792 Wrangling
As early as 1972, Suning had asked Qiao Chunyan to contact her mother. Although he had expected that few people would respond at that time, Suning's obsession with working together to get rich was too strong. After Suning rebuilt the Zhou family's old house, the neighbors of Photon Film began to envy and jealous. However, if the same opportunity were presented to them again, they would still choose to reject and guard against Suning.

Five or six years later, Zhou Zhigang and his son Zhou Bingkun again proposed that everyone rebuild the house together. It was a completely different situation. At this time, the neighbors of Photon Film became more enthusiastic. After all, every household had personally experienced the pressure of housing, and they also had the intention and idea to grit their teeth and build the house.

Soon Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing counted the families who wanted to build houses. Zhou Zhigang was surprised to find that more than a thousand households in Photon Film had this idea. In this way, the problem of Photon Film could be completely solved. Then he asked the neighbors to prepare to pool money to buy building materials. As for building materials, Zhou Zhigang and Suning would naturally contact each other, because Suning had always told Zhou Zhigang that he had a way.

Because Suning often spoke with his family in Jichun, he was the first to hear the good news. He then praised Zhou Zhigang over the phone, "Dad, it seems you have the face. You agreed to everything with just one move."

"Stop talking nonsense! Can you get so many building materials?" Zhou Zhigang had no intention of arguing with Suning. Instead, he was most concerned about the building materials.

"Sure! I know a large company in Hong Kong that's involved in real estate. I can help them get into Jichun to develop the Photon Array, and the neighbors won't have to contribute a penny. It's just that the policies and procedures might be very troublesome, and we need to find a way to apply to the street office and higher authorities."

"Develop photonic chips?" Zhou Zhigang didn't expect that Suning now had a new idea, because he didn't know that the new era was beginning to change slowly.

"Yes! Because this company is very interested in the mainland market, it intends to conduct a pilot project in Jichun Photon Film and plans to develop a unified ten-story high-rise building in the Photon Film. Every family member can have a housing area of 20 square meters. Adults and minors have equal rights. As for all the remaining property rights, they naturally belong to this company." At this time, Suning immediately explained concisely on the phone.

"Bingkun, you're going too far this time. The current policy doesn't allow it!" Zhou Zhigang, who had seen the world, was also shocked, but as someone who had been cautious all his life, he naturally didn't think it was a good idea.

"So! You have to organize the neighbors of Photon Film to jointly apply. After all, this is just an insignificant pilot project. You have to know that compared with the whole country, our Photon Film is not even a drop in the bucket." It is because Photon Film is so small compared to the whole country that it has the possibility of success.

"Bingkun, do you think this plan and application are feasible?" Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the confident voice coming from the phone.

"Yes! Hao Dongmei's father has always been thinking about the photon chip transformation. I believe he will definitely support our plan."

"Okay! I'll give it a try." Seeing that Suning mentioned Hao Dongmei's father, Zhou Zhigang thought about it for a while and immediately agreed.

"Dad, our house was built not long ago, and I plan to keep it, so we won't participate in this plan." Su Ning was reluctant to give up the Russian-style bungalow that he had spent a lot of effort on, so he told Zhou Zhigang his idea on the phone.

"Bingkun, if we don't take the initiative to sign up, I'm worried that other neighbors will have concerns. After all, it was our family that took the initiative to take the lead in this matter." Although Zhou Zhigang was reluctant to give up such a good house, he was still worried that forcibly retaining it would only make others more worried.

"Dad, you have to know that this is a very good thing. Whether the neighbors of the Photon Film agree or not, it is their own right. This is actually the same as the situation in 1972." At this time, Su Ning smiled disapprovingly. He also knew that the transformation would certainly not be so easy. You know, in the original drama, it was completed by Zhou Bingyi's thundering death before his death.

"Okay! I'll handle the negotiations with the Photon Slice neighbors, as well as the applications to the street office and higher authorities."

"Dad, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey! It's been my long-cherished wish to transform the Photon Plate. You know, the Photon Plate was a poor place that existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Dad, don't be impatient! Take your time! We will succeed one day."

Next, Zhou Zhigang gathered all the neighbors again as soon as possible. With more than a thousand households and one person from each family coming as a representative, it would eventually become a huge number. Looking at this grand scene with crowds of people, Zhou Zhigang, who had seen the world, was not at all nervous. However, looking at these neighbors who had been in deep misery for many years, Zhou Zhigang sighed helplessly in his heart. He wondered if these neighbors could seize this good opportunity. If they really missed it again, it would be difficult to have another chance.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." Looking at the noisy and chaotic crowd before him, who only needed a few words to cause chaos, Zhou Zhigang quickly began to explain loudly, "Yesterday I called Zhou Bingkun, who is studying at Tsinghua University. The person who used to provide building materials for our family can no longer provide them, but Zhou Bingkun recently met a large Hong Kong company called Ningyuan Group."

"Ningyuan Group has real estate companies under its umbrella. They're very interested in our mainland market and are willing to conduct a small pilot project in our Photon Block. The project will be developed by Ningyuan Group and built into a ten-story residential building with an elevator. Every resident in Photon Block, regardless of whether they are adults or minors, will receive a standard housing area of 20 square meters."

"Wow! Twenty square meters per person? Doesn't that mean our family of five has a hundred square meters?" As soon as Zhou Zhigang finished his explanation, the crowd of more than a thousand people below naturally became agitated.

"Oh my! Isn't it more profitable to have more people?"

"Yeah! There are ten people in the Zhou family, including their children. Doesn't that mean they can get a 200-square-meter house?"

"Everyone, our Zhou family will continue to keep our own house. You should know that our house was just built not long ago, so you can go home and think about it. As long as there is one family that is unwilling, we will not apply to the street and superiors. So whether they agree or not depends entirely on their own wishes." Zhou Zhigang was naturally the first to hear everyone's discussions, and hurriedly explained to everyone again loudly.

"Uncle, since Ningyuan Group is building a ten-story residential building, who will own the remaining units?" Big Bear, who had remained silent until then, stood up and directly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. "Of course it belongs to Ningyuan Group. After all, they've invested money, materials, and labor. They can't just end up with nothing!" Zhou Zhigang suppressed his anger and tried to explain the ridiculous question in a calm tone.

"Ah? Then we are really at a loss. All the money was earned by the Ningyuan Group." Sure enough, Daxiong immediately showed an unwilling expression. He always felt as if he had suffered a great loss somewhere, and his thoughts just represented the voice of most people.

"Huh? Big Bear, the Ningyuan Group needs to pay for building the house. Not only do they have to spend money to buy building materials and install elevators, but they also have to pay land transfer fees to the street office and higher authorities. I don't think our neighbors at Photon Film are suffering any loss!"

"Uncle, tell me the truth, how much benefit can your Zhou family get from this?" Daxiong knew that their photon slice had gained a great advantage, but he still looked at Zhou Zhigang with a villain's heart and questioned him.

"Big Bear, you little bear, don't forget, it was your family who asked me to help you make the contact. How come it is our family that gets the benefit in the end?" Zhou Zhigang had a temper like a firecracker that would explode at the slightest provocation, so how could he tolerate Big Bear's petty mind?

"Uncle, our family just wants to ask you to contact the construction materials, but we don't want you to contact any developers!" Looking at the more than a thousand people standing behind him, the big bear who had shrunk his neck in fear stood up again.

"Hmph! Big Bear, Old Bear, let me make it clear to you again. All current construction materials are within the planned economy, and we have no way of contacting construction materials outside the plan." Zhou Zhigang could only suppress his anger at this time and explained again to the Xiong family father and son. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Also, Ningyuan Group's desire to develop photon chips is entirely up to everyone's own wishes. After all, we need to jointly apply to the street office and the higher authorities. If one person is unwilling to sign the application, the matter will be dropped!"

A person has a mouth and a little thought, and more than a thousand people have more than a thousand mouths and more than a thousand little thoughts. At this time, the neighbors of the photon sheet once again unconsciously played tricks, and all had the same little thoughts as the father and son of the Xiong family. They also thought that the father and son of the Zhou family must have gained a lot of benefits from it, and naturally they all looked at Zhou Zhigang in front of them with amusement on their faces.

At this time, Zhou Zhigang was of course aware of everyone's little thoughts, and the anger in his heart could not be hidden at all. He finally understood the depression that Suning had in 1972, and suddenly felt discouraged. You know, the dilapidated photon plate has always been a pain in Zhou Zhigang's heart. In the original drama, Zhou Zhigang was thinking about the transformation of the photon plate before he died. This was also the biggest reason why Zhou Bingyi was so crazy and courageous in the end.

Because everyone's little ideas were so weird, this mobilization meeting naturally ended up with a whimper. More than a thousand people left here shaking their heads, and Zhou Zhigang naturally gave up in disappointment. He realized that it was impossible to satisfy everyone, and he also knew that it would be difficult for him and his son to transform the photon chip alone.

"Daxiong, I think you are overthinking it. The Zhou family is not the kind of people who take advantage of their neighbors." At this time, Qiao Chunyan's mother also noticed Zhou Zhigang's loneliness, and then looked at Daxiong on the side with disapproval and said.

"Auntie, who would be willing to step forward if there is no benefit? Do you really believe that the Zhou family can't benefit from it?" Daxiong showed a look of disdain on his face. He believed that only a fool would do something that has no benefit.

"This..." Qiao Chunyan's mother was immediately at a loss for words. She was also very curious about the motives of Zhou's father and son.

"Also, if the Ningyuan Group develops the house so well, why does the Zhou family want to keep the house?" Seeing that Qiao Chunyan's mother was at a loss for words, Daxiong continued to press the issue and asked back.

"Big Bear, the Zhou family's house was just built in 1972. The whole family lives comfortably there. Why would they worry about the same thing as us?"

"Hmph! Anyway, our Xiong family won't get involved in this mess. I don't believe that I can't get the construction materials to build it myself. I can build a house that is more beautiful than Old Zhou's." Seeing that he couldn't answer what Qiao Chunyan's mother said, Da Xiong started to act like a rogue.

"."

That night, Suning received this not-so-good news. Suning was very disappointed. You know, he and Zhou Zhigang were wholeheartedly thinking about the neighbors, but unfortunately these neighbors always thought about some inexplicable things. In fact, Suning did not think there was anything wrong with these neighbors. The main reason was that they were not omnipotent time travelers like Suning who had foresight. Some of them just treated the first thing carefully and seriously. You know, every decision will affect the rest of their lives.

"Dad, we have tried our best after all. It is God's will and we can't do anything about it." At this time, Suning was very open-minded and was far from being as disappointed and unwilling as Zhou Zhigang.

"Oh! I just feel it's such a pity in my heart."

"Dad, maybe the time is not right yet. Maybe there will be opportunities in the future." Thinking about the market opening policy that has just been proposed, of course I know that there will be similar opportunities in the future.

"Well, let's leave this matter at that. You should just focus on studying in school!"

"okay, I get it."

At this time, Zhou Zhigang also completely saw Su Ning's ability. He no longer thought that Su Ning was still the confused bastard all day long. Naturally, he treated Su Ning on the same level as Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong. In addition, Su Ning is now a top student at Tsinghua University. Zhou Zhigang naturally did not want Su Ning to waste his time on the issue of photon chip transformation.
