Chapter 229 Tug of War
Chapter 229 Tug of War
Flying a plane is not difficult.
The helicopter is a bit more difficult.
Fixed-wing aircraft are very simple, just use one hand to raise and lower the aircraft while using the accelerator.
Feng Xue took her child with her and did not board the plane.
Jiang Ning took Feng Yufei with him once and explained to her how to operate it.
Feng Yu was quite surprised: "It's really quite simple."
Jiang Ning said, "Well, I told you that airplanes are easy to fly, but helicopters are relatively complicated. Controlling the variable pitch throttle is a bit more technically demanding. This small fixed-wing aircraft is easier to fly. You can try it later."
Feng Yu nodded.
After flying around, Jiang Ning let her take over.
As for how other instruments and equipment operate.
That thing is not something you can remember in a short time.
Feng Yu just wanted to get some experience, he wasn't going to change his career to become a pilot.
There is no need to understand.
After changing positions, Feng Yu drove the plane onto the runway.
Jiang Ning guided the whole process and did not dare to be careless.
Feng Xue stood aside holding the little guy's hand and watched curiously.
As the skating speed increased, Feng Yu became a little nervous.
When you run too fast, tension is a natural reaction.
However, as Jiang Ning asked her to pull the joystick and the nose of the plane lifted, the plane took off smoothly. The tension disappeared, replaced by a sense of novelty and excitement of soaring in the vast blue sky.
"It's flying!"
Feng Yu was a little excited.
Jiang Ning asked: "Is it easy to drive?"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "It's easy to drive. There are no obstacles in the sky, so there's no need to worry about a crash."
After flying around, it landed safely.
The plane came to a complete stop.
Feng Yucai sighed: "Flying into the sky doesn't feel like anything, but landing is pretty scary."
Jiang Ning said, "It's like this. Once the plane is in the air, it's fine. Just fly it. Takeoff is not difficult. Only landing is a little difficult. Novice drivers will inevitably be nervous. Just drive a few more times and you'll be fine."
Got off the plane.
Feng Yu also asked Feng Xue: "Sister, do you want to experience it?"
Feng Xue quickly shook her head. She didn’t want to experience it!
She had no interest in driving, but Jiang Ning insisted that she learn.
I just got a driver's license.
Forget about the plane, I'm not interested.
Two days passed.
Metsis called: "Boss, there is good news."
Jiang Ning asked: "What good news?"
Metsis said, "Strange things happened on the three farms of the Freed family in Lufkin. All the wheat died."
Jiang Ning was surprised and delighted: "Really? This is really good news."
Metsis said, "The Freed family is going to lose a lot of money this time. Even with the government subsidies, the loss is not small. The farms and ranches that have experienced strange incidents in the past two years have depreciated significantly. If nothing unexpected happens, the boss should be able to save a lot of money."
Jiang Ning said, "That's great. How much do you think it would cost to buy those three farms?"
Metsis said, "We'll have to talk about it to find out, but I suggest that you reconsider it carefully. Some of the farms and ranches that experienced such bizarre incidents last year have experienced the same thing again this year. If the three farms of the Freed family experience such a thing again next year, you will lose a lot of money."
Jiang Ning said: "Don't think about it, take it down as soon as possible."
Metsis said happily: "Okay, boss."
Just ended the call.
Winder called again: "Boss, I'm in London."
Jiang Ning asked: "Have the goods been delivered?"
Winder said: "It was delivered smoothly. Brinks dispatched a security team of more than 20 people and invited Academi to participate in the security work. After the goods were transported to London, they were successfully delivered to the customer."
Jiang Ning was a little confused: "Brinks is also a big company, why did they invite Academi to participate?"
Wind explained: "This is a wise decision to share the risk. Two hundred million dollars worth of gold is not a small amount. It is a huge fortune. Even though Brinks is strong, he is still worried about being targeted. Inviting Academi can share the risk and even reduce the potential risk. If the goods are robbed, Brinks will bleed even if he is rich."
"very good!"
Jiang Ning said: "You go to Switzerland and wait for me. I will go there the day after tomorrow."
Winder agreed and reported a few more things before ending the call.
Jiang Ning called his wives, "Pack your things. We are going to Europe the day after tomorrow."
Feng Yu asked: "Why go to Europe?"
Jiang Ning said, "A batch of gold has been shipped to London. I need to meet a partner and do a few things. It just so happens that you have never been to Europe, so you can go there with me this time."
Feng Yu said: "Europe is not good."
Jiang Ning said, "It was winter when my sister and I went there. Europe was no different from my hometown at that time. But there are still some things to see in the summer. We can just take it as an opportunity to experience the life of Europeans."
Feng Yu asked: "When will you go home?"
Jiang Ning said, "We have to wait for a while. After going to Europe, we have to go to Australia. There is a farm we want to buy."
Feng Yu was not interested: "I feel like our home is almost becoming a home for homeless people. You have been out for three months and you haven't returned home yet. I don't want to take Tiantian with you around the world. Why don't you go by yourself? I will go home with you."
Jiang Ning asked: "You're not going to Europe either?"
Feng Yu said: "I don't really want to go."
Feng Xue used sign language to persuade her to go and have a look.
Jiang Ning also said: "You have never been there, you should go and see it. Now is a good season for travel. If you really can't make it, you can go to Europe for a few days and you and your sister can go home. I will go to Australia alone."
Feng Yu thought about it and reluctantly agreed: "Okay!"
Jiang Ning called to arrange the itinerary.
night.
Feng Xue took the little guy away, and Jiang Ning and Feng Yu fell asleep.
I got up early in the morning and went out for a walk, planning to come back for breakfast around eight o'clock.
As a result, when I was herding cattle with the cowboys, Feng Yu called.
The little guy won't let his mother put on clothes and insists that his father put them on him.
Jiang Ning hurried back to the villa, feeling a little smug.
When we got to the bedroom, the little guy was sitting on the bed with his naked butt.
I'm arguing with my mother and won't let me put on clothes.
"Come on, come on, let daddy put it on for you."
Jiang Ning quickly took the clothes, and the little guy finally compromised.
Let him put on his clothes obediently.
Feng Yu was very angry and slapped the little butt.
The little guy pouted and was about to cry.
"Be good, baby, don't cry."
Jiang Ning quickly coaxed Feng Yu, "Get out quickly and don't make trouble here."
Feng Yu became even angrier and glared at the father and daughter.
Just went to help in the kitchen.
Jiang Ning dressed the little guy and took him to the bathroom to wash his face.
Then he led the little guy out.
Children sometimes have very strange tempers, just like this morning, for no apparent reason they refused to let their mother put on their clothes and insisted that their father do it for them. That’s why the old saying goes, a baby’s face can change at any time.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the little guy.
Today, both mothers are not happy. They want dad to feed them when they have meals and they want dad to hold them when they go out.
Feng Yule's free time was simply left to Jiang Ning.
Taking care of children is really tiring, only those who have taken care of children know it.
Jiang Ning took the little one out to play and deeply realized how difficult it is to raise a child.
And after playing for less than two hours, he started missing his mother and cried for her.
Jiang Ning hurriedly sent the child back to the villa, and the little one stopped crying only after seeing his mother.
If I ignore my dad anymore, it’s obviously not good anymore.
Bei'an.
Jiang Hua has been very busy lately, busy with negotiations!
Jiang Ning made the arrangements and the county government agreed.
He was given several pieces of land owned by people from Wenzhou, but the second boss was just casually saying that the land should be taken back. After all, it couldn't be done too roughly. It still needed to be handled with some consideration. So he asked Jiang Hua to talk to the Wenzhou people.
Jiang Hua went to talk to him, and they talked several times.
At first, the people of Wenzhou were unwilling to give, so Jiang Hua had to go to the county.
After some coordination with the county, the people of Wenzhou finally agreed.
But the asking price was outrageous and we failed to reach an agreement after two rounds of negotiations.
We got together again today and also invited people from the county.
Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze also came and have been participating since the beginning.
They sat on both sides, and the people from the county sat in the middle.
To show that we are not helping either side and are just acting as a middleman.
After talking for a few sentences, we got stuck again.
The key to the problem is the transfer fee. The Wenzhou people paid a deposit for the land, and also invested a lot of money in building roads, leveling the land, digging holes, planting trees and digging wells. Now that no gold can grow in the land, they are stuck and want to recover their investment.
Make some extra money by the way.
Jiang Hua said: "The most I can give you is the land deposit, not a cent more."
The Wenzhou people were no match for him: "Let's not talk about it. We have invested several million. If you are short of five million, there is no point in talking about it."
Jiang Wei said: "What nonsense! It's just planting some trees. It doesn't cost even a million. Where did the millions come from?"
People in Wenzhou said: "Digging wells and building roads are both free."
Jiang Ze said, "You just pushed a dirt road, and you call that road construction? It only cost tens of thousands of dollars to get it done. Besides, where is the well you dug? There's no water yet. You want others to fill the hole you dug yourself? How can such a good thing happen?"
The Wenzhou people were very firm: "Then let's not talk about it."
The county man knocked on the table and said, "Let's talk."
The Wenzhou people said: "They are not sincere."
The people in the county looked at Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua said: "They are not sincere. Those plots of land have not grown a single tree in two years. The land is free, and I am very lucky that I can pay a deposit. But they want to ask for too much. How can such a good thing happen?"
The people in the county looked at the Wenzhou people and said, "That's good enough."
Wenzhou people are not happy: "We invested millions, are we going to suffer this loss?"
The people in the county looked at Jiang Hua and said, "A lot of money has indeed been invested in those plots of land. Don't be too stingy and give them some space."
Jiang Hua was speechless, and it was clear to me.
This guy is a sly guy who doesn't want to offend either side.
If Jiang Ning showed up in person, the people of Wenzhou would probably be in trouble.
The higher-ups give the orders and the relevant departments just need to carry them out.
There aren't so many things to do.
It doesn’t matter whether Wenzhou people are willing or not.
It's a pity that Jiang Ning is not here, and he can't rely on his brothers for everything, so he has to step forward himself when necessary.
Jiang Wei couldn't help it: "That's impossible. Bei'an is full of wasteland. Instead of paying millions, it's better to go to Beidatan to get a new piece of land. It's a little farther at most. Let me be honest. I can sit here and talk today because I don't want to bully others. Otherwise, Jiang Ning could just make a phone call and the county would take the land back. There wouldn't be all these troubles."
"Cough cough!"
The people from the relevant departments could not bear to hear it any longer and immediately coughed, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
You still have to give face to the people in the yamen.
Jiang Wei said nothing more.
The Wenzhou people were even more unhappy: "Listen, what are you talking about? Do you still want to bully others by taking advantage of your power?"
Jiang Ze said: "If you really want to bully others, I won't sit here and talk with you."
The Wenzhou people looked very unhappy.
The middleman said, "Well, you guys continue talking while I go to the bathroom."
After saying that, he stood up and left, closing the door behind him.
The two sides looked at each other.
Jiang Hua said: "I just told you the truth. To be honest, even if I don't shake you, by the third year next year, if you don't have any trees growing on those plots of land, the county will take the land back. By then, not to mention your investment, even the land deposit will be wasted."
The Wenzhou people said: "We signed a 30-year contract."
Jiang Wei said: "Everyone knows whether the contract is useful or not. Don't think we don't know. The county has said that if you don't come up with anything in three years, the county will take the land back. We still have one year left. How about we wait until the county takes the land back next year and then we'll take it over."
Jiang Hua nodded: "It's okay to wait another year."
It is true that Wenzhou people can no longer get hard.
The county did make a request that we should see something within three years.
Now two years have passed and not a single tree has survived.
Several Wenzhou people also knew that they had made a mistake in acquiring the land this time and wanted to find someone to take over.
But apart from Jiang Ning, who else would dare to take the wasteland in Bei'an?
Several Wenzhou bosses have set an example for everyone.
It turns out that apart from Boss Jiang, no one can make the wasteland in Bei'an valuable.
It was so hard to find someone to take over, so of course I wanted more.
But looking at the situation now, this wish is a bit difficult to achieve.
Landlord Jiang's brother has no connections, and he can't afford to waste time. If he really has to wait until next year, the county will take the land back and not a single cent of the deposit will be returned. By then, he will have lost everything.
A Wenzhou boss said slowly: "It's not enough to just give a deposit, it has to be at least two million."
Jiang Ze said: "It's not two million. I estimate that you spent at most two million to get the land, pay the deposit, dig wells and plant trees. It's good enough that we can give you the deposit. Don't think about getting back the loss from us. That's impossible."
Another Wenzhou boss said, "Then let's not talk about it. Just wait."
Jiang Hua said: "Let's wait and see who can outlast the other."
We can't continue the conversation.
Several Wenzhou bosses stood up and prepared to leave.
Jiang Hua and his three brothers did not try to stop them, and the negotiations became a tug-of-war.
How can I show weakness at a time like this?
Several Wenzhou bosses went out and it seemed they were really leaving.
Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Hua, and Jiang Hua shook his head.
Although he wanted to take over the land as soon as possible, he didn't want to be a sucker.
If it really doesn't work, I can just wait for Jiang Ning to come back and then ask Jiang Ning to solve the problem.
It's impossible to be a scapegoat.
Jiang Ze stood up and took a look. He saw the Wenzhou man coming down the stairs and said, "He really left."
Jiang Hua said: "Let's go, I'm not in a hurry, they are the ones who are in a hurry."
Jiang Wei agreed: "It will take until next year at most. The county will definitely take the land back. Wenzhou people are just being stubborn. Who knows how anxious they are in their hearts. At most, you can wait for a year. You can wait."
Jiang Hua nodded and said, "It's okay to wait for a year. The ranch in Australia is already on the right track. I plan to visit it more often when I have time. I will take over when I am familiar with the market. I can't let Jiang Ning's people manage it for me all the time."
Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze were envious and said, "Hua Zi, you are really good. Even if you don't compare with Jiang Ning, you are definitely a big landlord. When you go to Australia again, take us with you so that we can broaden our horizons."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "I definitely won't be going there recently. I'm still learning English. I'll go when I've learned enough."
