CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 426: LIN MU’S OTHER PLAN

In the past few days, Lin Mu has been orchestrating a grand play! Although at this point, by common sense, the project would in no way end up with the Celestial One Pavilion, Lin Mu thinks otherwise. As long as the project hasn’t broken ground, there is still a chance. According to Li Ning’s motto, anything is possible!

Even though the relationship between Lin Mu and Huang Wenhai is very tense, his relationship with city leaders like Liu Yuanzhong is still quite good. After hearing Lin Mu’s thoughts, Liu Yuanzhong also felt it was a pity. However, since he is not from the Urban Construction Bureau, he can only say a few words on this issue and certainly can’t directly refute Huang Wenhai, as that would have a negative impact.

Of course, Lin Mu doesn’t count on Liu Yuanzhong’s help, but only works on maintaining good relationships with the higher-ups and preparing for the next move. Lin Mu is planning a grand scheme, in which Liu Yuanzhong’s help will be needed!

Lin Mu’s target is not only Liu Yuanzhong but also his upright father-in-law, Qi Shangjing, who is very influential as the city party secretary. However, Qi Shangjing is too straightforward, so Lin Mu could only get a few pieces of information from him after getting him intoxicated. That evening, while visiting the Qi Family, Lin Mu got Qi Shangjing drunk and learned that the compensation funds for this demolition were allocated from the city government to the Urban Construction Bureau, then disbursed to the real estate companies from there.

The city government, to ensure the residents cooperate with the demolition and to prevent some bad incidents, laid out very favorable demolition policies. Each family member will receive compensation of one hundred thousand yuan! Assuming a family of three, each family would receive three hundred thousand yuan in compensation, and Situong Town has about three hundred households, so the total compensation amounts to more than nine million yuan. According to Lin Mu’s prediction, with so much at stake, Huang Wenhai would surely make some moves.

Lin Mu spent a lot of money to gather information, which was pretty much as he expected. The Urban Construction Bureau, after obtaining the demolition compensation, directly deducted twenty thousand, which means they calculate compensation to the real estate companies based on eighty thousand yuan per person. This indicates that, just in this aspect, in the initial stage, Huang Wenhai pocketed a hefty profit of six million!

Lin Mu, of course, collected evidence in this area, which would be crucial in the future. The real estate companies would not selflessly hand out the government’s funds directly to the people. The real estate companies are vampires. Liu’s Real Estate Company, based on the compensation of eighty thousand, deducts another twenty thousand. After multiple levels of exploitation, the money reaching the people is only half!

Of course, for the people, getting tens of thousands is already quite good, because most people are uninformed and think it’s already a lot of money. However, if Lin Mu were to make public the compensation amount set by the city government, everyone would feel they were shortchanged. Therefore, if Lin Mu wants to stop Huang Wenhai and Liu’s Company, he must incite the public’s anger to hold off this matter temporarily and plan for the future to contend for this big project.

So, just when the people were happy about the compensation fund, Lin Mu, along with Su Jinzhi and some of the company’s lobbying team, arrived in Situong Town. They first found the town’s mayor, Yang Dacheng, and explained their intentions. Lin Mu showed some related materials to the village party secretary, Yang Dacheng!

After seeing everything, town secretary Yang Dacheng couldn’t believe how corrupt the real estate company was. He regretted proactively cooperating with Liu’s Company on the demolition, only to realize they had already siphoned off half of the profits. This was more than six million huge sum!

Hearing Lin Mu’s explanation, town secretary Yang Dacheng immediately convened a meeting of the cadres, intending to hold a general assembly to discuss the matter, and invited Lin Mu to give a detailed explanation at the meeting. Soon, more than twenty township cadres from Situong Town gathered in the town government compound. Yang Dacheng explained the situation, and the grassroots cadres were furious after hearing it, as it involved their own interests. They hated the unscrupulous Liu’s Company and were extremely angry at the callous and complicit black-hearted director Huang Wenhai.

"Everyone, it’s thanks to Lin Mu from the Flying Dragon Group breaking Liu Real Estate Company’s conspiracy, or else we would’ve all suffered a huge loss!" Yang Dacheng said indignantly. "Now, let’s invite Boss Lin to explain the ins and outs of this matter!"

Prior to this, Lin Mu had already discussed everything with Yang Dacheng, and of course, Lin Mu had given Yang Dacheng some incentives. Money makes the world go round! Having money makes things easier. Otherwise, Yang Dacheng could directly report to the city government, but he didn’t; instead, he followed Lin Mu’s arrangements to hold a cadre and people’s meeting, so sometimes money can definitely settle everything.

Lin Mu walked up with a smile and greeted everyone, "Frankly, our Flying Dragon Group has a bit of self-interest, just to secure this project. But honestly, we will not let the common people suffer any loss. So, I ask for your help not to sign the demolition contract with Liu’s Company. If Flying Dragon obtains the contract in the future, we will add twenty thousand on top of the original sixty thousand compensation, so each family member can get eighty thousand, and there will be no discrimination based on age or gender. Whether it’s children or the elderly in their eighties or nineties, all can enjoy this same benefit!"

This enticingly generous offer from Lin Mu immediately got the cadres’ blood boiling. This was cash on the table, and they all had elders and young ones in their families, so they could additionally get tens of thousands. It was a much better deal than the black-hearted Liu Real Estate Company offered. Without a second thought, they supported the Flying Dragon delegation and protested against Liu’s Company!

The displaced residents find it hard to earn money, so in their eyes, regardless of Lin Mu’s motives, as long as he gets them more money, he is a good person! As for who contracts the project, why would they care! No matter what, everyone will get a house in the end; now it’s just a matter of compensation payouts!

This time, Lin Mu also made a costly move. He knew that implementing this plan means forking out another six million. But for Lin Mu, whose wealth exceeds tens of millions, it’s nothing because the big payoff comes later. If he can secure the contract rights, he’d willingly spend another five or six million!

After a series of discussions, more than twenty cadres nodded in agreement, but Lin Mu had another small scheme. Just these twenty or so agreeing isn’t enough; the key is the power of the people, which is inexhaustible. To mobilize the people and get Lin Mu to acquire the demolition site, Lin Mu stated that anyone staying would get an additional ten thousand!
