Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Having figured things out, Wang Lin stopped talking about that topic and instead brought up the issue of old street renovation.

Fang Wei felt that there was no problem with the old street being high, but it absolutely could not be demolished and rebuilt. After all, the old street in the county had a history of over a hundred years, and in the future, it could be regarded as a landmark of the county as a pedestrian street.

If you really want to change the face of the county town, you can develop a new district, which is more cost-effective than demolishing the old streets.

"Your point of view makes a lot of sense. We'll discuss it at the next meeting."

Wang Lin's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Fang Wei to actually support preserving the old street.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed properly, and after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they left separately.

Fang Wei returned to his office, had someone brew a pot of tea and bring it over, and casually flipped through today's newspaper. But his mind was on Wang Lin's plan, feeling that it was a bit too advanced for his time.

On the one hand, there's the question of whether the county's finances can support the construction of the new district; on the other hand, there's the question of whether the urbanization process will proceed as quickly as he anticipated.

A week later.

Fang Wei attended the overall signing ceremony between Yaoling Agriculture and the three townships. Lin Bingkun, representing the company, and Wang Lin, representing the county, signed the agreement.

This is not just a land contract, but also a cooperation agreement between the company and the county to jointly develop the vegetable industry.

Fang Wei shouldn't have had to come forward for this, but Wang Lin wouldn't allow it. He didn't know what Fang Wei's motives were, but he insisted that Fang Wei show his face at the scene.

Fang Wei attended the signing ceremony and then left the county town, driving straight to the Yao village.

He only heard today that Wang Songlin was sick, and that he was very sick, and that he hadn't been able to get out of bed for the past few days.

"Songlin, how are you feeling? Why don't you go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

When Fang Wei arrived at the Yao village, he went straight to Wang Songlin's house and saw that Wang was indeed lying in bed.

Wang Songlin looked unwell, spoke weakly, and seemed to be in poor health.

“He’s so stubborn. He keeps saying he just needs to rest and he won’t go to the hospital no matter what. Third brother, talk to him, he’ll listen to you.”

Fang Wei quickly asked a question, and Wang Songlin's wife immediately took over the conversation, showing great dissatisfaction with the man.

"Why are you telling Third Brother all this? I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Aren't you going to cook?"

Wang Songlin was a little unhappy, so he immediately kicked his wife out and told her to cook.

Fang Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to cook. Come on, I'll take you to the county hospital now."

Wang Songlin wanted to say something, but Fang Wei glared at him, and he obediently fell silent.

A little later, Fang Wei helped Wang Songlin into the car, and his wife followed him in. The three of them headed straight for the county hospital.

Wang Songlin's wife took him to the emergency room. After examination, it was found that the patient had problems with his liver and gastrointestinal tract. He had early-stage cirrhosis and severe stomach ulcers with bleeding, yet he had been enduring it at home.

Fang Wei was furious. If the other person hadn't looked sickly, she would have slapped him twice.

"Third brother, the doctor wants us to be hospitalized."

Wang Songlin's wife kept crying. The man was too stubborn. If they had come a few days earlier, the situation wouldn't have been so serious.

Fang Wei asked the other party to wait a moment, and then went to the hospital's vice president to ask him to arrange a consultation.

“Secretary Fang, to be honest, the patient’s condition is a bit serious, but it’s not life-threatening for the time being. As you know, the county hospital’s capabilities are limited. If possible, it would be better to go to a big city for treatment.”

The vice president's son works at Yaoling Property Management, and he has a good relationship with Fang Wei, so he told the truth.

Fang Wei nodded and expressed his gratitude. He pondered whether to go find Master Sun or go to Yangcheng. However, considering the patient's stomach bleeding, he didn't dare delay and immediately called a man and a woman from the Yao village to come over.

"Sister-in-law Songlin, I'm planning to send Songlin to Guangzhou for medical treatment. Do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection. I'll do as you say."

Wang Songlin's wife has no opinions of her own; she listens to whatever Fang Wei says.

Fang Wei then asked the hospital to send an ambulance, and the brother who came from the village accompanied him in the ambulance. He drove along with Wang Songlin's wife and another sister.

Before leaving, he called his son and asked him to ask his tutor to help make arrangements.

By the time they arrived in Guangzhou, it was already dark, and Binbin and his mentor were still waiting, making Fang Wei quite embarrassed. She kept expressing her gratitude to her mentor.

"We're all family, why be so polite? I've already made arrangements. He'll be admitted to the hospital directly, and we'll do more detailed tests tomorrow."

Binbin's mentor held a high position in the hospital and arranged everything perfectly in advance.

Wang Songlin was admitted to the hospital ward, where the older brother and his wife took turns caring for him, while another older sister was responsible for cooking and delivering meals. The cooking took place at Fang Wei's house, and everyone rested there when they needed to.

We don't know how long we'll need to stay in the hospital yet, but there are three of us, so it should be fine.

the next day.

Fang Wei gave Binbin some instructions, went to check on his daughter-in-law, and then drove back to the village. Wang Songlin needed treatment; there was no point in him staying in Guangzhou, so it was better for him to come back and arrange the work in the village.

"Wang Sanqi, you'll be handling Songlin's work while he's in the hospital. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, call me. Don't make decisions on your own, understand?"

Wang Sanqi is Wang Songlin's deputy. He is young but very clever and is one of the few high school graduates in the village.

As the leader, Fang Wei naturally had the right to appoint a temporary person in charge, but he also limited the other party's power.

"Third Brother, I know, please don't worry."

Wang Sanqi is a good person. He is humble and cautious, and he did not lose his composure just because he was temporarily in charge.

Fang Wei nodded and then left the Yao village.

The work in the village has long been on track, and as long as Wang Sanqi doesn't cause any trouble, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Third Brother, how is the situation in Songlin?"

When she got home, Pan Lianhua had already returned from get off work. She was also very worried about Wang Songlin's condition.

"There's no danger to his life, that's for sure. Also, Binbin's mentor has helped arrange a consultation with specialists in hepatology and gastroenterology, so you can rest assured."

Fang Wei briefly explained the situation, and Pan Lianhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's hard to say what the treatment outcome will be, but it's not considered a difficult or complicated disease, and the chances of a cure are quite high.

"I'll take my sister to Guangzhou in a while, and we'll visit the pine forest while we're there."

Pan Lianhua didn't say much, but she had a good relationship with Wang Songlin since childhood. He had always taken care of her like an older brother, and she planned to visit him in Guangzhou.

"Don't wait a while, you and your sister should go next week. Binbin is busy with work and may not be able to take care of some things, so you can be of help if you go."

Fang Wei understood his wife's feelings, so he asked her to go to Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Pan Lianhua readily agreed, and a few days later she went to Guangzhou with her older sister. She could help take care of Xuemei, and also help Wang Songlin resolve some issues.

Fang Wei plans to focus on training Wang Sanqi next, so that Wang Songlin won't be so overworked anymore, and someone will have to share the workload.

Before they knew it, the opening day of Nanlu Garden arrived. Not only did Fang Wei come to the county town, but Cai Tong and Hu Linwei also rushed over early. After all, developing a commercial housing complex in a small county town was a bit ahead of its time, and no amount of prediction could tell the whole story as well as the sales data on the day itself.

The three of them didn't wander around the site; instead, they sat in the conference room of the Yaoling Hotel, where staff members kept coming in to report on the sales situation.

The sales of Nanlu Garden were neither as hot as expected nor as sluggish as some had predicted; the sales situation was lukewarm.

"This has exceeded my expectations; I think it's very good."

Fang Wei was very satisfied with this situation, which indicated that there was still considerable demand for commercial housing in the county.

Buying a house is a major event, and some people start to back down when it comes down to it, which is a normal psychological state.

However, these hidden demands will eventually be released. Real estate development companies are not under much financial pressure, so they are not so short of time.

Cai Tong and Hu Linwei were also very satisfied. The real estate company had already extended its reach to the most dynamic special economic zone along the coast and was currently handling the relevant procedures to acquire land and build a residential community.

Xinlin County was just testing the waters, so the results are quite good.

"President Cai, President Hu, shall we go down and take a look?"

Fang Wei got a little bored staying upstairs, so she pulled the two of them to the sales office on the street.

After touring the sales office, the three went to the residential complex, where three buildings were nearing completion and would be handed over to customers around August.

The community has access control and security guards, greatly improving its safety. The landscaping is also excellent; no wonder some people in the county call it a "high-end community," because no one has ever seen anything like it before.

After going around in circles, the three of them returned to the sales office, which was much quieter now.

Fang Wei glanced at the statistics and nodded repeatedly, concluding that the model was successful. It not only solved the problem of the county transportation company's de facto bankruptcy but also resettled the original employees, while Yaoling Group also generated considerable profits.

The county has shed this historical burden and has also made some progress in the process of transferring land use rights.

This achieved a win-win-win situation, but this outcome was not inevitable. If Yaoling Group hadn't been so large and powerful, simply changing to another real estate development company wouldn't have solved so many problems.

Fang Wei has always been a proponent of outcome-based thinking, and he believes this model is feasible.

"Do you have a clear statistic regarding the customers who bought houses today?"

After reviewing the data, Hu Linwei inquired with the person in charge of the sales office.

The other party replied that some business owners who make money outside the county want to buy property in the county town. In previous years, they could apply for land to build their own houses, but in the last two years, the application process has become increasingly strict, and it is basically impossible to apply for land.

In particular, the merger of the Yaoling Group with the transportation company has shown the county the nascent form of land-based finance, making it unlikely that private individuals will be able to apply for land to build houses in the future.

Therefore, wealthy residents of the county are the main buyers of home purchases. (End of Chapter)
