Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Green Vine City, at Gao Mingyuan's headquarters.

“Shaohua, you don’t know this! When you said you wanted to use all chemical synthesis to make rock sugar, I had already talked to Xie Guohao and Commander Yun. It’s 300,000 yuan per kilogram. Do you think they wouldn’t sell it? If you resell it overseas, that’s 400,000 yuan! A profit of 100,000 yuan. Do you think they wouldn’t be tempted?” Gao Mingyuan said with a smile.

“That’s fine. Anyway, that’s the price I’m giving you. How much you can sell it for is up to you, Mr. Gao! My factory is operating at full capacity and can produce 200 kilograms a day. I’ve been producing a lot recently, and I have about a ton in stock. You can pick it up whenever you need it!” Lu Shaohua said.

"No problem, haha, Shaohua, you're really my lucky charm!" Gao Mingyuan said excitedly.

The current Gao Mingyuan is not the same Mr. Gao who could control everything in the Green Zone, so he will accept any business that makes money!

"Secretary Wei Nong, this complex is almost finished. When would you like to start attracting investment?" Li Dakang asked with a smile.

At the beginning of this year, Li Dakang was released by Zhao Lichun and appointed as the deputy head of Guangming District. The Weinong complex is located in Guangming District.

As the entire complex nears completion, many people have already set their sights on some of the shops and businesses located there.

In addition to a huge indoor shopping mall, the entire complex also includes surrounding amenities, such as two outer pedestrian streets, apartment buildings, and further out residential buildings.

The residential buildings have been completed and have even started to be sold, and they are selling quite well.

In this day and age, a price of three thousand yuan per square meter is already considered astronomical in Jingzhou.

However, due to the excellent supporting facilities, especially after Weinong insisted on relocating a key municipal high school to a location less than three kilometers from the complex, the surrounding buildings have seen a dramatic increase in popularity.

"Dakang, you, as the deputy district head, have personally come over to ask this. Do you have something on your mind too?" Wei Nong asked with a smile.

“Secretary Wei Nong, you flatter me. Who among the wealthy in Jingzhou, or even Handong, doesn’t know the benefits of this complex? Once it’s completed, the flow of people will explode. Half the population of Guangming District, and even Jingzhou City, will be attracted here. The potential for promotion is enormous! Its economic boost will be obvious to all. I was just pressed by my subordinates, so I came to you to find out some inside information!” Li Dakang quickly waved his hand and said.

"I can't say for sure about the Tengfei Plaza matter. You can ask Xiao Gao for details on how to proceed. But since you're here today, I do have something I'd like to ask you!" Wei Nong didn't answer Li Dakang's question but brought up something else.

"Secretary Wei Nong, please give your instructions!" Li Dakang said, looking all ears.

“Your Guangming District has been quite chaotic lately, with petty theft and market manipulation being rampant, which has affected the investment promotion efforts of the entire Jingzhou City. So I think you, as the deputy district head in charge of public security, should take charge of this!” Wei Nong said with a smile.

Upon hearing Wei Nong's words, Li Dakang was taken aback. "What are you talking about, Secretary Wei Nong? I really don't understand!" Li Dakang could only ask, forcing himself to speak.

“I’m not entirely clear on this matter either. I just received a tip yesterday that a clothing store owner in Guangming District was being extorted for protection money. I hope you can investigate this matter as soon as possible. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to involve the Discipline Inspection Commission. You’ve just arrived in Guangming District and are Secretary Zhao’s secretary, so this matter isn’t really your concern. That’s why I can only ask you first!” Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Secretary Wei Nong, don't worry, I'll have the police station investigate this thoroughly as soon as I get back! In broad daylight, how can someone still be using Mingzhu's methods to collect protection money? It's utterly lawless!" Li Dakang quickly stated.

He didn't stay at Weinong's place any longer, but said goodbye and left. Secretary Zhao didn't directly hold him accountable for this, which was already because Li Dakang had just taken office and it wasn't good to go too far. Otherwise, if the Discipline Inspection Commission had intervened, he, as the deputy district head, wouldn't have been able to escape either.

"I've already told Li Dakang, so you can focus on running your shop! Don't worry about anything else. Once Tengfei Plaza is finished, talk to Xiao Gao and ask him to pick out a good location for you!" Wei Nong said with a smile as he picked up the phone.

“Okay, I got it! But who do you think is behind this? Why would they come looking for trouble so quickly? I’ve already asked around, and none of the surrounding businesses have come to collect any protection money!” Xu Jingping said on the other end of the phone.

"I don't know either, but it must have been an accident! After all, our family had a shop here before, and we never heard of anyone causing trouble," Wei Nong said uncertainly.

"What are you saying? Our family's previous store was called Mingliu Shijia! Anyone with a bit of connections would know that this chain store is our family's business. But this store was opened by my parents! Nobody knows that this store is related to our Zhao family!" Xu Jingping said, somewhat speechless.

"By the way, how's your garment factory business? Is it struggling to operate in Tianjin? Why don't you have your parents move the factory to Jingzhou?" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Come on, come on! If the factory opens in Jingzhou, won't I be even busier? When will that ever end? My fourth sister-in-law and the others have complained to me many times. Business has been getting better and better lately, and they want me to finish up here so I can go back and help! They are really a bit overwhelmed!" Xu Jingping said helplessly.

"Alright, you can do it first! Once Tengfei Plaza opens, move the store inside the plaza, and then hand it over to the store manager! You should hurry home and help out!" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"There are so many people in our family, we won't miss one more, will we?" Xu Jingping said with a hint of helplessness.

She and Zhao Weinong have been married for many years, but they rarely see each other. In fact, the time she spent with Weinong in Jingzhou during this period was a rare opportunity for the couple to spend time together.

"How many people are there? Besides Fourth Sister-in-law and Hong Xin, He Qing has her own career to attend to, and Eighth Sister-in-law and Ninth Sister-in-law have gone to the Northeast for an inspection. How could Fourth Sister-in-law not look for you?" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Sigh, I really envy my eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law!" Xu Jingping said with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright, they can't not come with the army. After all, they've been separated for so many years. Now that the child is finally grown up and we can let go, can't they have some time to themselves?" Wei Nong said with a smile.
