Mayor Tang smiled and said, "Meilan, you only know how to joke."
"Uncle Tang, have you investigated this investor? Are there any problems?" Liu Meilan asked.
Mayor Tang explained, "It's the Cheng family from Hong Kong Island. They are a long-established wealthy family. The head of the family, Cheng Fanyang, has investments all over the world."
"Has the decision been made now?" Liu Meilan asked.
Mayor Tang replied: "It has been decided, but the official document has not been issued yet. The Cheng family is determined to get it, and in order to meet the deadline, they started the demolition work ahead of time. Because the money is relatively high, many people are willing to buy houses in the city and prepare to move."
"It is precisely because the people on the island had no objections that you did not stop the demolition of the Chen family and even welcomed it. I was under a lot of pressure during this period. Many people on the island envied Sanlian Island for being able to be demolished."
Liu Meilan smiled when she heard this, "Uncle Tang, Sifang Island will never introduce foreign investment, and there will be no demolition! But I have a few projects here that I think can drive the economic development of the island and increase the income of the villagers on the island."
Hearing this, Mayor Tang's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up from his chair, "Meilan, are you telling the truth?"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Of course it's true! It's just that I've been very busy recently and don't have time to deal with these things!"
Mayor Tang asked anxiously, "Meilan, where are you? If you are busy, I will go find you! I won't waste your time!"
Liu Meilan smiled. Mayor Tang was under pressure from the villagers and was eager to increase the income of the villagers on the island.
"I'm on the bus now. I'll be home soon!"
Mayor Tang was very happy to hear this, "Okay, I'll visit you later!"
"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded in agreement, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She was still skeptical about the Sanlian Shimabukuro development project.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu looked at Liu Meilan, "Meilan, is this demolition reliable?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, you can go back and see what others are doing first. If you think the price is right, you can sign and get the money first!"
"What if the project fails?" Liu Xiangbei has seen a lot of dark sides and has a lot of tricks on his mind. "Do we have to pay back the money?"
Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Xiangbei, "This is the worst possible outcome. What are you afraid of? Even if there is a breach of contract, it's not you who breached the contract!"
Liu Xiangbei asked again: "Sister Meilan, regarding the demolition, do you think we should take the money or the houses or shops on the island?"
Liu Meilan blinked her eyes, "Can I also exchange it for a shop?"
Liu Xiangbei nodded, "Okay! But the people on the island don't want to live on the island anymore. It's wet all day long, and transportation is inconvenient. It's also troublesome for children to go to school. After getting the money, if everyone goes directly to the city to buy a house."
Liu Meilan touched her chin and thought for a moment. "I don't know much about this project, and I'm not sure it will succeed, so I can't give you any advice."
After hearing this, Liu Xiangbei knew what was going on. He decided to ignore the shop and get the money first.
If the project is suspended or fails in the middle of the process, the shop will be in trouble!
The boat stopped at Sanlian Island, and Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu prepared to disembark.
Liu Meilan reminded, "Second uncle and second aunt, why didn't I tell you about the demolition when you asked about it quietly? Don't argue. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. If you have any difficulties, call me."
Aunt Liu nodded, "Don't worry, Meilan, I can rush out to see who is doing harm to our family. Fighting is a lose-lose situation. If you win, you will be detained, but if you lose, it's meaningless to go to the hospital."
Once we find out who is behind this, we'll find a chance to retaliate.
If it was the village chief, haha, when they got to the city, Aunt Liu would write a letter of denunciation, reporting the village chief for corruption. Even if he had not been corrupt in the demolition, he had been corrupt before, so the village chief was definitely not wronged.
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "We are not barefoot now, so we have the strength to concentrate."
Liu Xiangbei also assured, "Sister Meilan, I'm still here! I won't stand by and watch others bully my second uncle."
Liu Xiangbei knew that Liu Meilan didn't like him, but she liked his second uncle's family. As long as he treated his second uncle's family well, he could also gain some face from Liu Meilan.
Besides, he had no bad intentions, he just wanted to borrow some strength in the future.
Watching them go down, Liu Meilan had a calm expression and remained silent.
Fu Chen held Liu Meilan's hand and asked, "Do you also think there is a problem with the development of Sanlian Island?"
Liu Meilan nodded. "I'm worried that they are not targeting the development of Sanlian Island, but Sifang Island. There are so many reconnaissance devices around, and if there is a holiday island nearby, wouldn't it be easier to detect?"
Fu Chen also suspected this and reached out to smooth Liu Meilan's frown. "In fact, if we can think of it, I'm sure the higher-ups can think of it too. Don't worry, let's go back and ask Grandpa Liu and Uncle Liu."
"That's true." Liu Meilan smiled and said, "There are so many smart people, not just me. If I can think of it, others can think of it too. But the higher-ups still agreed to it, so there must be some other reason behind it."
At this time, Mayor Tang, who had hung up the phone, immediately called his secretary Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, the meeting is cancelled. Come with me."
Xiao Feng was stunned. "Mayor, is there something urgent?"
Mayor Tang nodded, "This is related to the development of our island!"
"Is there still room for development on our island?" Xiao Feng was stunned. Sifang Island is very special. Where is the room for development?
Nowadays, more and more people on the island go to the city to make a living.
Mayor Tang smiled and said, "Of course there are. Others may not be able to do it, but Liu Meilan can! She just said that there is a project that is suitable for our island."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. "Congratulations, Mayor. I thank you on behalf of the people on our island. Mr. Liu, did you say which project it is? Or is it ornamental fish?"
Sifang Island ornamental fish is not only famous locally, but also nationwide. The annual output value has reached 140 million.
More than 90 million of this was earned from foreign trade.
Mayor Tang went to inspect ornamental fish a few days ago and learned that this year's breeding volume and sales will reach new highs.
Mayor Tang doesn't know how much money the ornamental fish farm makes, but the hundreds of employees in the farm receive very substantial salaries, about the same as those of bank employees, plus even more bonuses.
When it comes to social security payment, it is nothing like the barbaric and extensive treatment of current private enterprises. Instead, it is people-oriented, and the treatment is similar to that of state-owned enterprises, or even better.
"It shouldn't be an ornamental fish." Mayor Tang replied. If it was, Liu Meilan would have said it on the phone just now.
Thinking of Liu Meilan's abilities, Mayor Tang guessed that it must be related to the ocean, because Sifang Island is surrounded by the sea and has no other resources except marine resources.
Mayor Tang took Xiao Feng to buy some gifts and visited the house in person.
Mr. Liu was also quite curious about Mayor Tang bringing gifts to his house. "Xiao Tang, you just came when you wanted to, but you brought gifts with you. That's too polite."
Mayor Tang is so busy, he would not come to visit you for no reason, so there must be something going on.
