Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1275 Breaking News

"Is the meeting over?" Zhao Cheng asked, holding the phone.

"The meeting is over, and everyone is very satisfied! But I don't quite understand why Zhongjiang Province would make such a big concession and sacrifice?" Wei Hong asked curiously.

"Do you think Zhongjiang Province made a sacrifice?" Zhao Cheng asked somewhat helplessly.

"Isn't that right? Not only are we allocating land for the new factory, but we're also changing the old factory's land to commercial use. Everyone knows that commercial land is more expensive than industrial land!" Wei Hong said.

"That's because you didn't understand the hidden benefits of moving the steel plant! Do you think it's just a matter of relocating a steel plant? If the land in the city center were developed into a commercial plaza with all the dining, entertainment, and shopping options like Jingzhou, how many jobs could it create? How many unemployed families could it solve their practical difficulties? Not to mention anything else, just solving the problem of the three thousand people from the original steel plant would be a huge relief for Changwu City!" Zhao Cheng said.

"So both the new company and Changwu City benefit from this?" Wei Hong said with some emotion.

"Not only that, once the Changwu commercial plaza is completed, it will drive the development of the entire old northern city. Do you think this is a joke?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"What will our family get?" Wei Hong asked curiously.

“We’ve got another police chief in our family! I’ve already discussed it with Wei Cheng, and we’ve arranged for him to come back from the army and transfer to Changwu City as the police chief,” Zhao Cheng said.

“Dad, Wei Cheng is a senior colonel now, and in a few years he can be promoted to general! Isn’t it a bad idea to let him retire now?” Wei Hong said with some surprise.

“What’s wrong with that? Our family already has three generals, including myself. Although I’ll be retiring in two years, I’m expected to be promoted before I retire. Then we’ll have one general and two major generals. Have you ever heard of a family like that? If I don’t retire, neither Wei Cheng nor your other brothers will be able to get promoted! So it’s better to let Wei Cheng go back to civilian life. After all, the development in the Air Force is limited, and the base is too small!” Zhao Cheng said helplessly.

Having three generals in one family is already the limit. This is only because he has made great contributions and has seniority. If he doesn't retire, do those few brats think they can be promoted to general? They're dreaming!

"Dad, won't doing this displease the higher-ups?" Wei Hong asked with some doubt.

"Don't worry, do you think they don't know about this? As long as I don't break the rules, there won't be any problems. Besides, Wei Dong could have been promoted to lieutenant general a long time ago, but he couldn't because I'm still in office. After I retire, Wei Dong can be transferred to another military region and promoted naturally! Actually, there's no difference. Don't forget, I'm just retiring, not dying!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"That's good, but Dad, why is our family in charge of this chip project? It's a thankless task. Even if we find other companies to share the risk, the investment is all real money!" Wei Hong asked.

“Some things have to be done by someone. The chip issue is really too important. If we don’t work hard to catch up while the gap with the international level is not too big, then we will only be held back by the neck!” Zhao Cheng thought of the invisible war in his previous life.

Although we eventually found our own path, how many detours did we take along the way? Now that we have the opportunity to overtake others, why not hurry up and catch up?

"Fine, I can't argue with you! I hope what you're thinking isn't unnecessary!" Wei Hong said helplessly.

"Alright, you must keep a close eye on the chip company in Shanghai. This company is likely to attract foreign attention. Don't forget, our current strength has already exceeded the bottom line of Western countries and the United States! They won't let us continue to grow!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Tch, those guys are just paper tigers! As long as our army is still around, no country will dare to underestimate us!" Wei Hong said with a disdainful expression.

"Times are changing, and we must adjust accordingly! This is an inevitable trend of development! Don't dwell on the past; just look ahead and forge ahead!" Zhao Cheng comforted him.

"Mr. Bao, did you really invest in a steel plant? The government even provided a lot of preferential policies and land?" A Shanghai businessman asked with a face full of curiosity.

"How do you know? Who told you this?" Abao asked, his face full of shock.

"Do I need anyone else to tell me? Everyone in Shanghai knows that you, Mr. Bao, have taken advantage of the express train ticket! It's a train to wealth! The No. 1 Steel Plant in Zhongjiang Province!" the man said with a smile.

"What? Do you have relatives in this steel plant?" Abao asked with a smile.

"No, not at all. I just heard from Zhongjiang that Zhongjiang No. 1 Steel is exchanging land, and I heard that the construction of the new factory hasn't even started yet. I wonder if Mr. Bao could help me introduce it?" the man asked with a smile.

"Boss Wang, you're a big shot in Shanghai, how can you be so eager for quick success? Don't you know that some things can't be achieved by robbery?" A Bao's face was all smiles, but his tone was full of threat!

"President Bao, don't scare me! I, Wang, am not a fool! It's already been rumored that Shengxuan Group and Jingyan Group are involved! And recently, the Jiang Group's shadow has been discovered! With so many companies involved, how could your Baozhu Group be absent? So you must have a way, right?" President Wang said sincerely.

"Mr. Wang, there's really no room for negotiation on this matter. Both Shengxuan Group and Jingyan Group are new shareholders of the No. 1 Steel Plant in Zhongjiang Province! So it's not wrong for them to use their own subordinates, right? What do you say, Mr. Wang?" Abao asked with a smile.

What? Shengxuan Group and Jingyan are both shareholders of the new company? Does that mean this new steel company is about to take off?

After leaving A Bao's place, Boss Wang went straight into Zhizhen Garden on Huanghe Road, which is now the intelligence center of the entire Shanghai!

Mr. Wang is now a regular at Zhizhen Garden. Mrs. Lin is always incredibly excited about Mr. Wang deliberately spreading rumors of unknown veracity at Zhizhen Garden. He's a veritable god of wealth!

However, today's news left Mrs. Lin dumbfounded. What kind of steel plant would require the involvement of so many large companies? And how could they coexist so peacefully?

Thinking of this, Lin Tai couldn't help but recall someone who, upon first appearing on Huanghe Road, demonstrated what it means to be someone you can't afford to mess with.
