Chapter 936 -892: Group Bidding

Following the series of measures by the Ganlan Municipal Committee in Linfeng Town, Huang Dayong was enraged. Naturally, the High-tech Zone Work Committee dared not show any negligence. Having followed Huang Dayong for many years, Li Chengren still had discernment. When the boss was furious, anyone who dared to play tricks was simply courting death.

In this context, where official business was conducted strictly by the book, and in some cases, with special handling, Li Chengren took the lead personally as the head of the special investigation team, with the secretary of the Gaoxin District Disciplinary Committee serving as the executive deputy team leader. A rigorous investigation was conducted on the leadership team of Linfeng Town. Starting with the Party Committee Secretary Xia Zhichang, several main leaders of the town’s party and government team were taken down. Those involved in serious cases, whether economic issues or other legal problems, were transferred to judicial authorities. The others received different degrees of punishment.

This move immediately garnered enthusiastic support from the people at all levels of Linfeng Town. Consequently, the pace of demolition and relocation accelerated significantly.

After the special funds were disbursed to the villages, the previous reluctance to relocate disappeared completely. There were even instances where people actively requested to expedite the demolition process.

By the end of September, the demolition work involving fifteen administrative villages across two townships within the thirty thousand acres of land acquired by Huaxia Group was officially completed.

This created a miracle in Ganzhou City and even Ganzhou Province at large. Such a massive demolition task and volume of eviction completed so quickly, with compensation prices lower than market prices and with the fastest pace, led to zero accidents. The absence of forced demolitions and holdouts caused a huge sensation throughout Ganzhou.

Experiencing this, Huang Dayong was deeply moved. In the past, when Ganzhou City executed demolitions, everyone was on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy. However, unexpectedly, under Huaxia Group’s management, Nie Zhenbang’s seemingly casual actions changed the attitude and methods of operation and provided the evicted residents with more humane care. Suddenly, it seemed as if the general populace had transformed.

In light of this phenomenon, Huang Dayong specifically instructed that demolition workers throughout the city should deeply study and research this approach and its reasons, and to draw lessons from it.

…

On Huaxia Group’s side, following Nie Zhenbang’s instructions, they quickly reached an agreement with the High-tech Zone Work Committee, based on the third-party organization’s assessment of the land and property values in Linfeng Town. Huaxia Group and the High-tech Zone Work Committee came to a consensus on the issue of property rights transactions and signed an agreement.

At the same time, the Huaxia Group collectively relocated their offices to the office building on site, and hung a Huaxia Group sign at the main entrance.

Nie Zhenbang’s office was situated at the very end of the east side on the top floor of the office building, directly opposite a small conference room. The entire office spanned approximately one hundred and twenty square meters, divided into an inner and outer chamber.

This used to be the office of Linfeng Town Party Committee Secretary Xia Zhichang, which naturally was extremely luxurious. Although Nie Zhenbang was somewhat displeased, he was not a pedantic person.

All these furnishings had already been paid for; it wouldn’t make sense to dislike them and then dismantle everything to redecorate simply. Such an action would mean the money spent was wasted, and redecorating anew would incur additional costs. That would be putting the cart before the horse.

Yun Fei entered from outside, holding a purple clay teacup with Nie Zhenbang’s favorite Longjing tea, exuding a light and elegant fragrance that diffused into the air, as she placed the teacup on the table. Showing tact, Yun Fei prepared to exit the room.

At that moment, Nie Zhenbang suddenly said, “Secretary Yun, what have the other members of the group’s leadership been thinking lately?”

Yun Fei was momentarily stunned before recovering and replied, “Director Nie, concerning the relocation issue, Deputy Directors Ding and Li haven’t had many objections. In fact, they seem quite happy. However, Deputy Director Zhang appears to have some reservations. He has come to the group office a few times, complaining about inconveniences with accommodations.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded, indicating that he understood, and then waved his hand, “Alright, you may leave now.”

Nie Zhenbang was well aware of the performance of the three. Each of them was no simple character; after all, no fool could climb to their current positions.

As for the attitudes of Deputy Directors Ding and Li, Nie Zhenbang was very clear. Like him, they were outsiders in Ganzhou with no roots to speak of. Now, being here, if they continued to operate from Factory 38, it would inevitably lead to negative perceptions. It would seem as though Huaxia Group was merely Factory 38, with just a few more people added above Zhang Shengshan.

Now, having relocated here, the perception was different. Consequently, the attitudes of the people under Factory 38 would also change.

As for Zhang Shengshan’s dissatisfaction, that was even more understandable. Leaving Factory 38, Zhang Shengshan’s influence would inevitably wane over time. That was certain.

Now, the Huaxia Group’s office building was there, and for someone like himself, it was convenient to live and work in the office alone. However, some people couldn’t cope with it, such as Vice President Li. To be more direct, Zhang Shengshan was very dissatisfied.

His dissatisfaction mainly stemmed from wanting to move back to Factory 38, but clearly, once they had moved out, returning was not possible.

As he was deep in thought, there was a knock at the door. Yun Fei walked in and reported, “Director Nie, Vice President Ding has arrived.”

“Please, come in!” Nie Zhenbang immediately stood up and walked out from behind his desk. This was an attitude; if Liu Bei personally visited the thatched cottage three times out of respect for talent, let alone himself who did not currently possess that kind of confidence.

Details determine success or failure, the higher one climbs, the more cautious they must be. Just like this time, Nie Zhenbang himself was unclear on Director Shen’s considerations in having him join the state-owned enterprise. It was probably not solely for the purpose of tempering his experience.

After arriving at Huaxia Group, Nie Zhenbang became even more careful, not overlooking any suitable detail.

For instance, standing up to greet someone or not was a matter of attitude, yet the feeling was entirely different.

When Vice President Ding walked into the office, Nie Zhenbang had just reached the visitor area, which was two to three meters away from the door—perfect timing for them to face each other as Ding entered.

Nie Zhenbang extended his hand and said with a smile, “Old Ding, you are indeed a rare guest. Please, take a seat.”

Ding Weiguang was somewhat surprised, but soon adjusted. Nie Zhenbang’s warmth was unexpected for Ding. Sitting down, Ding spoke politely, “Boss, I truly apologize for taking such a long time to come and report on my work. I haven’t been in touch with the leadership enough. Please, bear with me.”

There were certain differences between the Huaxia Group and government departments. Listening to Ding Weiguang’s words, Nie Zhenbang waved his hand, appearing magnanimous as he said, “Old Ding, there’s no need for formalities. Right now, the Group is still in its start-up phase, with a massive amount of intensive work to be done, and I know everyone is busy. As for you, Old Ding, I have trust in you. Regarding the complete relocation of the Shunfeng Factory workers, how are the workers and their families feeling? Have there been any emotional disturbances?”

As the Group’s Executive Vice President, Ding Weiguang’s current role included assisting the Chairman in overseeing the comprehensive work of the Group. It could be said that Ding Weiguang had considerable power.

Now, Ding Weiguang’s specific duty was to coordinate the relocation of several factories, as well as the tendering for the Group’s construction. The relocation issue was particularly brain-draining, requiring careful consideration of various aspects, such as the workers’ sentiments, the attitudes of their families, and matters concerning the employment and education of their children. It could be said that Ding Weiguang was one of the busiest in the Group.

Nie Zhenbang nodded and then said, “Old Ding, you have a heavy burden. Regarding the household registration of the workers and their children, here’s what I think: when the time comes, I will approach the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and coordinate with the comrades from the Ganlan Municipal Committee to ensure this aspect of the work is well addressed. Additionally, to accelerate the construction progress, we could consider cooperating with Ganzhou City on the matter of housing for the workers’ families. Settle it in one go, with all houses being arranged as housing reform properties. This could also save the Group from more trouble in the future.”

As he finished speaking, Ding Weiguang laughed and said, “Boss, I came over this time precisely to report to you about the tendering issue for the Group’s construction.”

While speaking, Ding Weiguang took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, placed them on the coffee table, and reported, “Boss, this time, the total investment for all of the Group’s construction projects has reached 5.3 billion yuan. Thirteen billion of this is for the construction of the family housing area, which can now be excluded. For the remaining 4 billion in projects, preliminarily, we plan to divide them into ten bids, each worth 400 million, and open the tender to domestic companies industry-wide through a sealed bid process. In this way, considering the size of the bids, the companies involved will all be large and capable enterprises with guaranteed quality. Also, dividing it into ten bids and starting them simultaneously can significantly shorten the construction time.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded; such practices were no longer rare in the country, with recent years seeing tens or even hundreds of billions invested in high-speed rail and highway construction done the same way. Even in the railways, there were bids worth 3.4 billion each. This was not a problem.

Then, Nie Zhenbang spoke up, “Old Ding, you handle these matters. I trust you. On the issue of tendering, sealed bidding has its advantages, but we must still follow the principles of fairness and impartiality, ensuring we completely avoid any under-the-table deals.”

Nie Zhenbang concluded with these important instructions and requirements, which was quite normal. As a leader, when a subordinate reports, saying nothing and simply agreeing is not a sign of an open-minded leader; to others, it may even appear as incompetence.

Nie Zhenbang’s main tasks were still in the collection of technology and the management of the operations department. He naturally delegated other matters to others.

Old Ding was very earnest, carefully noting everything down before packing up his things and standing up to say, “Boss, please go ahead with your work. I won’t disturb you further.” (
