Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 448 It's impossible to please everyone! (First update!)

Xiao He screamed and was about to get out of the car to break up the fight when Lin Yi suddenly raised his hand to stop her: "Something seems off!"

After being reminded, Xiao He also noticed that something was amiss.

He shook his head, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

Standing by the car door, he straightened his collar and clothes before slowly walking towards the crowd and shouting:

"Everyone, stop right now!"

"Did you hear that?"

"stop fighting!"

His shouts affected the people on the outermost edge. They turned around one by one, wanting to curse, but then they saw the administrative jacket that Xiao He was wearing.

He was very young, but everyone could tell that the person in front of them was no ordinary person.

An elderly man squeezed through the crowd, smiled at Xiao He, and cautiously asked, "May I ask which department this brother is from? Are you here today to solve our problem?"

The old man's words instantly drew everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of these people, Xiao He's lips were pressed into a straight line, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

This isn't Suzhou; his words have no effect here.
The main purpose of my visit today is to exchange benefits with Jinghai City. This shipyard is very large and requires a lot of supplies.

Some of these things are available in Suzhou but not in Jinghai. In that case, there's no need to waste time, land, or money on redundant construction.

Buy it directly from Suzhou.

Of course, Suzhou also had to bleed a little.

These exchanges of benefits do not include the promises he makes to these people today.

If he were to speak and make any promises to these people, it would be a classic case of a dog trying to catch a mouse...

I'll get scolded when I get back.

Thinking of this, he smiled at the old man who had just asked the question and said calmly, "Grandpa, I'm here to visit relatives. My second aunt married someone from some kind of Changjiang Sand Island, but I've searched and asked around for a long time and only found one place, Changqing Sand Island. I'd like to ask if you've heard of it?"

Once he realized this person was asking for directions, the old man's expression turned stern, and he pointed to the river in the distance:

"It looks like it's over there!"

Li's mother!
Xiao He couldn't help but utter an old classmate's catchphrase, smiled and nodded, then turned and went back to the car.

He turned and left, ending the little incident he had caused, and the people present started arguing again.

While these people were making a ruckus, Lin Yi was taking in his surroundings with his eyes.

After looking around, he turned to Xiao He and asked, "Are you sure that meeting is here? I didn't see any cars from Jinghai City."

Xiao He peeked out and looked around. Apart from the three official vehicles in front of the community gate, all the others were private vehicles.

Given the level of today's meeting, there should be more than just these three official vehicles. He pulled back and shook his head slightly: "They probably haven't arrived yet!"

After staring at the noisy crowd for a while, Lin Yi got out of the car, put his hands in his suit sleeves, shrugged his shoulders, and, like an old man from northern Shaanxi watching a spectacle, approached them. He thought for a moment, then spoke with a distinctly Beijing accent:

"Oh dear, has no one eaten here?"

"Kick him! Kick his manhood!"

"Gouge his eyes out..."

"See that leg? Kick it as hard as you can, kick the opposite joint of that joint. That spot is easier to kick, one kick and it's dead."

"Shoot them in the head!"

"Haven't you eaten yet? Should I order you some food now? You can eat your fill first, then we can talk."

As his sarcastic remarks became increasingly harsh, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down and slowly dispersed.

The crowd parted, revealing a few people who had formed a human wall in the middle.

Her hair was a little messy, and her lips looked a little dry, but that was about it.

This group is all bark and no bite; they're all talk and no action.

After mentally grumbling a few times, Lin Yi crossed his arms and lazily looked at the three clearly divided groups of people, his eyes full of inquiry and curiosity.

That look in his eyes is really unpleasant; it makes you feel like he's looking at livestock.

Noticing the gaze, one of the staff members from Jinghai City stepped out and quickly walked towards Lin Yi. Before he even got close, a burly man stepped out from the crowd on the left and walked aggressively towards Lin Yi: "You were the one stirring things up just now, weren't you?"

"Yes!"

"You want to die, don't you?"

"miss you!"

The answer was very affirmative, and the burly man who stepped forward was immediately restrained.

He just wanted to scare people, he didn't really want to beat them to death here.

The burly man sneered, finding a way to back down: "You want to die? That's because you've never had a good life."

"I have plenty of good days ahead of me, and I don't want to fall into your trap."

After the burly man, staff from Jinghai City approached, first thanking Lin Yi, then turning to him and asking in a low voice:

"May I ask your surname, sir? And what brings you here...?"

Meeting the curious gazes of the staff, Lin Yi nodded slightly: "My surname is Lin!"

"Lin Yi is from Suzhou and owns a conglomerate called Xiaomi Heavy Industry."

As he explained, the staff member's brows furrowed slowly. That name... it sounded familiar!
After a few seconds of stunned silence, one of the women, who looked to be in her forties and appeared quite capable, suddenly looked up, blinked, and then asked with a bewildered expression:

"President Lin? Shouldn't you have met up at the community center first? Why did you come straight here?"

These words left Lin Yi completely dumbfounded.

He stiffly raised his right hand, pointing to the office building behind the staff member. On the left wall near the building entrance, several signs were prominently displayed, one of which clearly read "Changqingsha Community Subdistrict Office." The female staff member turned around, saw the sign, and slapped her forehead in sudden realization.
"wrong!"

"There's a mistake!"

"This is the new office building that combines the two communities after the planning was changed. It was just completed at the end of last year, and there are still some things that haven't been put in yet."

"The city notified us to assemble at the original office building!"

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go contact the secretary and the others!"

The staff member hurriedly left, ran to the parked car, took out his phone and made a call. After hanging up, he immediately ran back, stood in front of the group, and said to them with a stern face, "This is General Manager Lin, the boss of the company that will be building a shipyard here!"

“I don’t care what you think, from now on, put all your thoughts away.”

"If there are any problems, let's wait for Secretary Jinsong to arrive, and then we'll discuss them!"

After she finished speaking, she and the remaining staff members naturally stood in front of Lin Yi, forming a human wall to shield him from view.

As the staff member turned around, Lin Yi also clearly saw the name on the name tag hanging on the other person's chest: Wang Yanmei.

Lin Yi pushed aside the crowd blocking his way, came to Wang Yanmei's side, and asked the two groups of people in front of him:

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

As soon as the question was asked, the two groups on the other side immediately started talking at once, but after a long time, no one got to the point.

Finally, Wang Yanmei, who had just stepped forward, raised her hand and forcibly silenced the noise.

Turning back, as she looked at Lin Yi, she pointed to the person on her left:
"They originally belonged to Dongfeng Community in Ninghai City, which is under the jurisdiction of Jinghai!"

Then he pointed to the people on the right: "They belong to Pinghai Community, JH District, Jinghai City!"

"Two years ago, the city put the development of this island on the agenda and considered turning it into a separate community, which would be directly managed by the city government."

"It wasn't until last year that this matter was finally put on the agenda."

"The city has also submitted the merger plan to the province."

"But there are several strict requirements for setting up a subdistrict office."

"The three strictest requirements are that the permanent resident population must not be less than 3, the proportion of non-agricultural population must be greater than or equal to 50%, and the infrastructure and public service capacity must meet the needs."

"This island doesn't even meet three requirements!"

"When merged together, the registered population is over 4, but the permanent resident population is only over 1, less than 2. Many people are living outside."

"Moreover, apart from a small number of industrial workers, the rest of the population who remain in the local area are agricultural workers."

"As for the final infrastructure!" Wang Yanmei turned around and pointed to the office building behind her: "Build it ahead of time, get on the bus first, and pay the ticket later."

"However, the relevant policy documents have not yet been issued, so both sides have their own policies."

Having explained this, she shrugged and pointed her right index finger at the person on her left:
"People on both sides have their own requirements when dealing with these policies."

“They want large single-level apartments, large parks, large playgrounds, wide roads, and universities.”

Then, pointing to the right, he said, "The JH district is pretty much the same, but they want three-story townhouses with gardens, not large apartments."

At this moment, Wang Yanmei raised her hands as she spoke, and then clapped them forcefully:
"If things develop normally, it will drag on until everyone can come up with a compromise."

"In the end, everyone was happy!"

"But then something went wrong."

“A few people had a private dinner party, and after drinking too much, they said they would just agree to these conditions, and then someone recorded them.”

"Then, the recording was released, along with several forged documents."

"The city was trying to figure out how to deal with this when we received a notice from above to set up this shipyard."

"Time was tight and the task was heavy, and then the information was leaked, which is why it turned out like this."

“Of course!” Wang Yanmei’s fingers fell on the people on both sides again: “Their demands have also increased.”

"I want a big villa, an elite private school, a hospital, an amusement park..."

After figuring out the reason, Lin Yi pressed his temples with both hands and gently rubbed them, then rubbed his eyes to make them slanted and elongated.

Building these things is not difficult; the challenge lies in maintaining them.

The annual property management fees for large villas can be tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the tuition fees for elite private schools can be hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. These people definitely can't afford it. If they pay now, they will surely continue to cause trouble later.

The only solution is to nip it in the bud at the source.

He put his hand down and looked at Wang Yanmei: "Do you have new standards? Let me see them."

Wang Yanmei gently shook her head: "I heard that the secretary changed the standards again, and I haven't received the latest ones yet."

Just then, the sound of a car roaring was heard.

Everyone turned to look and found that some vehicles were driving towards the scene.

The cars stopped in front of Lin Yi and his group. The back door of the lead car opened, and Zhao Jingsong, the secretary of Jinghai, got out and walked up to Lin Yi with a smile: "President Lin!"

"The people below are unreliable; they've kept you waiting!"

He greeted Lin Yi with a smile, then turned to look at Wang Yanmei standing to the side:
"Secretary Wang, you've done a great job!"

After praising Wang Yanmei, Zhao Jingsong turned to look at the crowd behind him, then raised two fingers of his right hand:
“I don’t care about your past or your demands. Now, I’m giving you 10 minutes to each of you choose 10 people to come in and have a proper chat.”

"Let's talk things out all at once and make everything clear at once, without wasting time."

"Don't wait until construction starts before you all jump out, baring your teeth and brandishing your claws!"

"Oh no! They haven't compensated me for that thing I had!"

"A few fish died at my place, you guys took my few ears of corn, and what happened to my rice paddies!"

"I don't want to hear those words!"
