Chapter 50: Heartbeat
After climbing the ridge of Canglongyu, Zhao Guodong felt refreshed. The lush pine and cypress forests spread down the ridge. The soil of the mountain is indeed a bit barren, and it is a red soil with a slightly acidic appearance. The pine and cypresses that have grown in this way for twenty or thirty years is enough to prove the fertility of this soil.
The outer edge of the ridge is particularly steep. Although there are still some pine and cypress scattered, many areas are straight down. Occasionally, a few trees grow on the cliff. A small river about ten meters wide passes around the mountains, which is probably the Hun River in Mei Yeping's mouth.
But inside there was another scene. From the ridge to the nest, it showed a very gentle slope, almost turning down layer by layer, distributed to the core of the nest, layer by layer, full of mountains and domes, making Zhao Guodong's eyes lit up.
Although Zhao Guodong is not a Feng Shui warrior, he has a little knowledge of the Feng Shui of this tomb.
In the past, when I was in junior high school, I was hanging around with my master Gu Taoist. One of the biggest sources of income of ancient Taoist was to look at Feng Shui for others, the yin acupoints of Yangzhai, Qi and Vein, and the ancient Taoist could say anything for a few hours without knotting his tongue. Zhao Guodong was not very eloquent when he was a child, and he also practiced it with the ancient Taoist all day long.
There is no reason why this mountain is named Canglong Valley. The Qinglong and White Tiger are known as the two great beasts and have always been the best guardians to protect their homes. Cangdai is similar to the Qinglong Valley. In fact, the Canglong Valley contains the meaning of this green dragon. Canglong pine and cypress cover it, the dome of the ridge winds among them, the dragon's head and tiger head are opposite each other, the dragon's ridge is grouped, and the body is guarding all directions.
Especially the living water outside the dragon body nourishes this area of earth veins, allowing the power of dragon and tiger to help both yin and yang. Zhao Guodong is confident that if he doesn't take it wrong, this is indeed the natural Feng Shui treasure land mentioned by Feng Shui gentlemen, of course this refers to the yin house.
What is particularly rare is that Canglongyu is located on the edge of the development zone, but it is already a land expropriated by the development zone and not arable land. If you want to use it, it is very convenient. For Zhao Guodong, the treasure land mentioned by Mr. Feng Shui is indeed a piece of treasure land, but for him, the meaning of this treasure land is different. If you can make good use of it, it may become a source of wealth for the Huaiqing Municipal Government.
However, this matter has to be planned well, how to maximize the use of this wasteland and maximize its utilization value. There are quite a lot of things that need operation. However, since Zhao Guodong is thinking about it, he is not afraid of it flying.
No one of the people in the group understood why Zhao Guodong suddenly became interested in such a deserted hill. He walked along the ridge with great interest to stop the excitement. A term similar to Mr. Feng Shui was also shocking. No one had ever thought that Mayor Zhao, who seemed to be unable to get involved with Mr. Feng Shui, would be so proficient in this area. It was very clear to say.
Zhao Guodong returned to the office and notified Duan Qiyan, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, to come to his office.
He was not familiar with Duan Qiyan, but he had a few dealings and knew that this person was also a well-behaved character and was extremely good at capturing opportunities.
Duan Qiyan rushed to Zhao Guodong's office ten minutes after receiving the call from Zhao Guodong. Although it was a break at 1:00 noon, the more time it was, the more it proved that the leader valued you. If everything was notified at work hours, the relationship between you and the leader would be limited to work relationships for about a lifetime.
Zhao Guodong found Duan Qiyan to learn about the relevant laws and regulations on the development and establishment of commercial cemeteries.
Duan Qiyan felt inexplicably surprised that Mayor Zhao called him so urgently at this time to ask this question, but Zhao Guodong had already become notorious and did not dare to ask too much. He just explained in detail the relevant provisions of the State Council's "Funeral Management Regulations".
After Zhao Guodong learned in detail about the situation, he realized that it was not that simple to build a commercial cemetery. In other words, in principle, the civil affairs department is responsible for the construction of commercial cemeteries, and belongs to public institutions. Even if a private person wants to build a commercial scale, he needs to be included in the civil affairs department. The links are quite complicated, but there are not no loopholes to take advantage of.
However, Zhao Guodong had already made up his mind to make a fuss on Canglong Valley.
With such good conditions in Canglongyu and Huaiqing's history of being well-known throughout the province and even the whole country, it is not impossible to hype Canglongyu. In particular, Duan Qiyan's introduction of the statement about cooperating with Hong Kong, Macao or foreign capital and even using foreign capital to develop operating cemeteries is quite operational. According to Zhao Guodong's idea, Huaiqing's finances are so difficult now. If the hype is built up, it can be sold out like real estate development and make a profit, which is probably at least able to solve Huaiqing's finances' temporary urgent need.
Since he made up this idea, Zhao Guodong thought about doing this. No matter who will develop the cemetery built in Canglong Valley in the future, at least the value of the deserted slope of Canglong Valley will be far greater than that of any other development, and the return rate is considerable.
Zhao Guodong roughly estimated that Canglong Valley was quite wide inside and outside, but the terrain was undulating, the earth's veins and qi caves were quite abundant, and the resources used to build tombs were quite rich. It was a blessing for building a cemetery. If it could attract funds from Hong Kong and Taiwan, its prospects (money prospects) were simply unlimited.
Of course, Zhao Guodong also knows that there are quite a risk in this. You must hype this land to achieve the expected returns. However, if you want to hype, you will inevitably have to use the so-called Feng Shui theory. This thing is a double-edged sword. Although it can make your land worthless, it can also make people who are trying to make money by taking on a feudal superstition hat and being criticized. Especially if the government wants to use this to make profits, it needs to grasp the scale.
But after making up his mind, Zhao Guodong would not change it. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how high the risk is, it is not as good as Huaiqing Finance's current financial difficulties. As long as it can operate well and avoid risks, this matter may become a major political achievement.
Zhao Guodong was moving as soon as he spoke. On the one hand, he collected land information about Canglongyu quietly, and on the other hand, he carefully understood the historical origins of Canglongyu. No matter whether it was true or false, as long as it could be touched or even not, as long as it could be far-fetched, he had to incorporate it into the historical background of Canglongyu. At this time, he felt how uncomfortable it was that he did not have a reliable and trustworthy helper by his side. Although Linghu Chao was smart and capable, he still made Zhao Guodong feel uncomfortable when he handed over this kind of thing over to him. If Gui Quanyou was here, it would be great. This also strengthened Zhao Guodong's idea of transferring Gui Quanyou as soon as possible.
After spending a week collecting and sorting it out, Zhao Guodong also had a preliminary idea. Instead of reporting his ideas to He Zhaocheng first, he directly found Chen Yinglu and talked about his ideas and intentions.
"Are you saying that you want to develop the so-called Canglong Valley into a cemetery?" Chen Yinglu looked at the young deputy mayor in front of him with some difficulty. Just such a thing is worthy of such a mysterious request to report to him. He also made two special reports to listen to his report. Is it such a thing?
"Yes, our city develops itself or attracts foreign capital to develop it." Zhao Guodong knew that Chen Yinglu had not fully understood the weight of this, but let alone Chen Yinglu, if any leader who doesn't know much about this aspect comes to listen to his introduction, he will probably feel that he has made a big deal.
"Guodong, do you think this matter is very important and it is worth spending a few hours on your executive vice mayor and me, the secretary of the municipal party committee, to study it?" Chen Yinglu said a little unhappy.
"Secretary Chen, do you think I am a person who doesn't know the importance of it?" Zhao Guodong heard the subtext in Chen Yinglu's words and replied calmly: "If you listen patiently to me tell you this matter carefully, and then analyze the possible benefits of this seemingly insignificant thing, you will feel that this is definitely not a trivial matter."
Chen Yinglu stared at Zhao Guodong deeply and nodded, "Okay, then I'll listen to your explanation."
Zhao Guodong also explained the current development status of the funeral industry in recent years, and also gave some technical introductions to the expenses of funerals in the coastal areas collected during this period. He then gave a very detailed introduction to the current funeral industry situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially the expenses and the special hobbies of wealthy people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially the Hong Kong and Macao areas for cemeteries. Finally, Zhao Guodong also told the special geographical location of Canglongyu and the terrain of Feng Shui.
This statement only made Zhao Guodong foam and tea twice or three times himself. Chen Yinglu also listened very seriously, especially when he heard the importance of the feng shui of the yin houses in Hong Kong and Macao, and the views of Canglongling in the eyes of Feng Shui warriors, he couldn't help but be moved.
He also knew that Canglong Valley had not gone deep, but had passed by several times from the side. It was only a few hundred acres of barren mountains. The scenery was simply not a question. At most, there were some scattered pine and cypresses. No matter from any angle, they could not be called a treasure land, but they were a blessed land of shady houses. If it was really as precious as Zhao Guodong said to people who advocated Feng Shui superstition, this place would be developed into a cemetery, and its value was immeasurable. More importantly, if this barren mountain could be packaged for a considerable amount of funds at one time, it would undoubtedly solve the urgent problem for the current financial difficulties.
