Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Yang Jianguo smiled and gave him a piece of advice: "Calm down, work hard, and don't always think that a pie will fall from the sky and hit you on the head. That's better than anything else."

Ultimately, the reason they were deceived was because these leaders involved were too greedy.

He desperately wanted to achieve instant success, surpassing all his brothers and becoming the most promising "child" in "Dad's" eyes.

Where in the world can you find such a good thing?

Even if it really exists, why should it fall on your head?

Do you have a unique phoenix tree that no one else has? Or did some dragon or phoenix from another family go down to gain experience and bring you mountains of gold and silver to support you?

The other person's expression froze as they carefully considered what he had said.

At first glance, it might make you feel a little uncomfortable, but if you think about it again, it really makes sense.

"Hey, that's why I have to say it's Yang Jianguo who's capable."

"Abandon unrealistic fantasies and get down to work!"

The other party nodded vigorously, and the elders also began to get into character. Seeing this, they turned their heads and whispered quickly, "Thanks, I'll post it to the lower levels later."

We need to see tangible results before we can release policies and funding.

"Don't forget to divide it into batches and phases; this will minimize the risk."

The other party wanted to ask more questions, but the elders were already engrossed in their role, and the conversation ended there.

Throughout the entire meeting, the leaders of the investment promotion bureau were restless and uneasy, as if paws were being pried out of their seats.

This Yang Jianguo is really something!

Having finally seized the opportunity, I had to do my best to squeeze some useful information out of him.

Otherwise, who knows when the next one will come?

The other party was determined to take him out to a restaurant after the meeting and make sure he ate everything he had.

Whether he agrees or not, I'm sticking with him anyway.

Nothing is more important than tangible benefits, whether it's saving face or saving substance.

At this moment, Yang Jianguo was giving a report and speaking publicly, unaware that he had already been targeted by the elderly people around him.

"Elders, leaders, and comrades, I would like to present you with a set of data on the achievements of Beijing in attracting investment over the past five years."

"In the past five years, Beijing has achieved remarkable results in attracting investment and is gradually moving towards becoming a metropolis. Everyone is happy about this, including myself."

"But within this exciting numbers report, there are some things we haven't discovered and have deliberately ignored."

"Fake, grandiose, and empty."

Chapter 745 A wake-up call, a firecracker

The firecrackers are still the same firecrackers, unchanged.

They immediately exposed the flaws in the grand achievements of the capital's investment promotion efforts, and not only that, they squeezed out all the moisture from it.

Let everyone see a real, tangible result.

And that's how this scene came about.

One-third of the magnificent results are revealed as the moisture evaporates, exposing the true nature of the achievement.

They either fail to complete the project, have problems with the partnership, or simply donate money and run away.

This isn't the most serious issue. The most serious problem lies in the empty promises. The other party presents some so-called documents and materials, making grandiose claims.

Some people took it seriously and directly included the 'projected future' in the report.

This makes the report look impressive and inspiring.

The more glamorous he once was, the more pathetic he is now. He was just thinking about how to cling to Yang Jianguo's investment promotion bureau leaders, but now he wished he could just pull him under the table.

This is completely undermining themselves!

But when he thought about Yang Jianguo's way of doing things, he felt angry but had nowhere to vent his anger.

No one doubts that the other party has always been objective, not personal.

But the fire eventually landed on him, leaving Old Xu feeling utterly helpless and embarrassed.

Are you angry?

Previously, Yang Jianguo had been very generous in sharing his experience and ideas with him.

There was no buying of a lawsuit or putting on airs; it was all genuine sincerity.

Aren't you angry?!

His anger was burning brighter and brighter, as if he wanted to set himself on fire.

“In Beijing, right under everyone’s noses, these empty and pretentious incidents are happening. I’m sure it will only get worse in other places.”

"Especially now, the real estate market is very hot. Everyone wants to buy a house, and everyone is selling houses."

"Those who were doing scientific research stopped and used the funds to build houses. Those who were growing crops stopped and used the money to sell houses. Those who didn't have money sought connections, got approvals, and even took out loans to build houses."

"They get the land approved here, then turn around and get a bank loan, then dig a hole and dare to put it up for sale. Selling pre-sale apartments, look how crazy the housing market in Gangjiang is now."

But comrades, don't forget, to destroy someone, you must first make them mad. The US housing market has collapsed, the Japanese housing market has collapsed, and recently, the Korean housing market is also on the verge of collapse.

"We want to develop, but some issues have already been explored by others. Is it necessary to knowingly step on landmines? I hope everyone can seriously consider this."

Yang Jianguo does not oppose using the real estate market to drive development, but within feasible limits, it is important to consider whether risks can be effectively reduced and management strengthened.

When regulations become strict, everyone runs away.

Those who fled were all speculators and capitalists, which freed up space for people who are willing to work hard.

Moreover, even if profits are halved, it's still a lucrative opportunity for capital.

There will be no reduction in tax revenue; on the contrary, it will benefit social issues.

As expected, as soon as Yang Jianguo finished speaking, before the leaders of the Investment Promotion Bureau could even stand up to report, the Housing and Construction Bureau couldn't sit still any longer.

"The West has always touted the threat theory, even when we were at our weakest. Strengthening controls now is tantamount to slapping ourselves in the face and pushing capital out!"

"Open market economy, welcome people from all walks of life, but that's a slogan we put forward ourselves."

Yang Jianguo immediately stood up and said, "Welcome people from all walks of life, but bandits and robbers are not included. If bandits come, do you have to offer rice with both hands and call them 'Master'?"

"Yang Jianguo".

The other person slammed their hand on the table, glaring at him with a flushed face.

Discussion is fine, but how did it escalate to personal insults? Who said robbers are welcome?

"Elders, comrades, seeking stability has always been our development policy and foundation. Our country can no longer withstand any more turmoil. The root of the problem has been damaged, and it has only just begun to improve. We must never repeat the same mistakes."

"But what is this root?"

Yang Jianguo scanned the crowd and said decisively, "It is the people, the trust and expectations of the common people. If we lose this, even if we develop into the world's number one, it will all be for nothing in the end."

"We must keep the people in mind, serve the people wholeheartedly, satisfy the people, and go deep into the masses in a down-to-earth manner, without being detached from reality."

“Some of our comrades stand too high and are always unwilling to look down, let alone bend down to do anything. Their arrogant attitude is just like that of feudal rich people in the past.”

"Cadres are public servants; those who trample on the people are corrupt officials. They should be hung on streetlights and hanged to death."

Yang Jianguo's words were a wake-up call, leaving the scene in complete silence.

That's an overstatement.

But Yang Jianguo came today with no intention of avoiding the main issues or making a few perfunctory remarks.

He wanted to make a big fuss, to be a wake-up call, to give everyone a sharp rebuke in their ears and hearts.

"I don't know how many of you here can still read the Party Constitution fluently."

When Yang Jianguo mentioned this, the expressions of the elders above also changed.

It's not that they haven't studied it thoroughly; those missions are already firmly imprinted in their minds. But such words shouldn't be brought up at this time, much less in such a questioning tone.

Yang Jianguo is really going to make a big fuss; he won't stop until he sets off a huge firecracker!

"Striving for the happiness of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation. Protecting the people, remembering our mission, and never forgetting our original aspiration..."

Yang Jianguo's voice, though not loud, sounded like a heavenly voice to everyone, deeply moving them.

Some people couldn't help but feel guilty. Those questions were like a lash against their souls, reminding them of their initial perseverance and dreams.

Where has that spirited young man, who dared to be the first for the people and was full of ambition for the country's investment company, gone?

Weighing the pros and cons, moderation, bias, and all sorts of concerns are like stumbling blocks, turning that boy into a cunning old fox who walks with faltering steps.

But this cunning fox has lost the courage and faith most needed on its journey forward.

Today, Yang Jianguo really taught everyone a good lesson.

Many years from now, those present will likely never forget this day, when he stood on his seat, full of vigor and passion, and shouted with great enthusiasm.

Chapter 746 The Only Light, I'll Be Even More Arrogant Than Him

The meeting ended in silence. As Yang Jianguo walked out of the conference room, he let out a deep sigh of relief.

"lead."

Yang Min followed her out, her eyes slightly red and glistening with tears.

The look in their eyes was full of admiration; this was the person they followed, this was their idol.

Yang Min drew boundless strength and faith from him.

To seek the well-being of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation, we must keep our mission firmly in mind and never forget our original aspiration.

Yang Min repeated these words in her mind over and over again, determined to engrave them firmly in her memory and never forget them for the rest of her life.

From today onward, this will be my life motto.

And Comrade Yang Jianguo, the leader, will be the only light on my path forward, guiding and illuminating my direction.

"Don't get excited, everyone's watching!"

Yang Jianguo offered a comforting word with a smile, and then saw the Third Elder's secretary walking towards him.

"Minister Yang, the elders wish to see you."

After finishing speaking, the secretary composed herself and smiled politely, saying, "If you're not busy, shall we leave now?"

"Yes, we can't keep the elders waiting."

Yang Jianguo nodded in agreement and told Yang Min to wait patiently outside, as the meeting shouldn't take long.

Sitting in the empty hall, Yang Min was sometimes excited and sometimes restless.

She was a little worried about what the elders would say to the leaders.

It's not going to be a reprimand, or... a suspension for reflection, is it?

Yang Min still possesses the necessary sensitivity.

Today's topic is clearly beyond the scope of our discussion, and the occasion and timing are also inappropriate.

But the leader must have his reasons for doing this; it's just that my knowledge and understanding are too shallow to grasp his profound intentions.

At this point, Yang Min had begun to blindly admire him.

Just as he was feeling restless, Yang Jianguo came out, his face calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"lead."

"Ah."

Yang Jianguo nodded and led her outside.

The driver was already waiting at the entrance. When we arrived at the parking lot, most of the cars had already left.

"Old Yang, you've really gotten me into serious trouble."

The investment promotion bureau leader opened the car door and poured out his grievances to him.

Yang Jianguo was somewhat surprised, thinking that the other party had already left and must have had something to say to him.

Unexpectedly, he was still waiting here!
