Land Use? And Compensation?
Chapter 2976 Land Use? And Compensation?
When the plane landed in Persia, An Zhongsheng and Section Chief Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he quickly regained his composure.
It's a foreign land, after all, and it's not safe here.
He then got up and got off the plane, where he met the comrades who had come to pick him up.
Because this trip did not attract the attention of others, all three of them kept a low profile.
After the two sides met, the comrade who picked them up took the three to a hotel near the airport to rest for the night, and they took a plane to Beijing early the next morning.
At this point, the people on the plane looked much better than before, but An Zhongsheng remained serious, his face always showing vigilance.
Little Sun beside him stared wide-eyed, becoming fully alert whenever someone passed by.
Similarly, while Section Chief Li across from him appeared to be resting with his arms crossed and eyes closed, he was actually constantly listening to the sounds around him.
The group was on edge as they finally arrived in Beijing.
When the plane landed at the airport, when the security personnel from the Ninth Division picked up the group, and when the group stepped into the armored vehicle, An Zhongsheng finally showed a sense of relief.
At this moment, seeing the familiar scenes of Beijing and hearing familiar voices, everyone recovered from their tension and their faces were filled with joy after completing the mission.
At this point, everyone spoke without the restraint they used to.
"Section Chief Li, how do you know these little days will turn out badly?"
Xiao Sun was the first to ask the question that had been bothering him.
Section Chief Li, who was examining the armored vehicle, turned around and smiled, "What's there to say?"
"You know the worst traits of these shorty people."
“When I saw them at the association, I knew they were up to no good and were definitely up to no good.”
"And when we acquired the oil company last time, they were the ones who interfered, but luckily we still made a profit in the end."
"It would be strange if they didn't take action this time."
Section Chief Li spoke with certainty, and Xiao Sun immediately gave him a thumbs up. "So you set up a trap with the steel mill?"
"Wow, they not only tricked us, but also got the information we needed."
"No wonder you work in foreign trade, impressive, impressive!"
Section Chief Li just smiled and casually said, "It's because that small steel mill is greedy, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do it."
"Ten million in compensation! That small steel mill probably can't earn that much in a year."
An Zhongsheng chimed in at this point, "At least three years of net profit."
"And once we have the Persians come and inquire in a while, the little folks will definitely continue to buy."
"Maybe we can earn another ten million."
At this point, An Zhongsheng suddenly felt that the surroundings were somewhat quiet.
Looking up, he saw that both of them were staring at him.
"What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
The two quickly averted their gazes and shook their heads, but in their hearts they both thought, "You're even more ruthless."
Of course, Section Chief Li thought it was worth a try.
After all, ruining someone's life is more worth celebrating than making money.
The armored vehicle sped along and soon arrived at the Ninth Division.
When the car stopped, the door opened, and everyone saw Yang Xiaotao standing to the side, smiling and saying, "Welcome back, our hero!"
An Zhongsheng felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Yang Xiaotao personally open the car door to welcome them.
Hearing Yang Xiaotao praise him so highly, An Zhongsheng was even more excited. He quickly jumped off the train and stood in front of Yang Xiaotao, grasping his hands. "Minister Yang, I have lived up to your expectations. I have found it."
Yang Xiaotao reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, "Well done, take a good rest after you come back this time, and spend some time with your family."
"no, I'm fine!"
An Zhongsheng quickly shook his head, "Minister Yang, it's only a month, not a long time."
"Moreover, I have read this document and have basically figured out the process. I want to go to the steel mill to make it as soon as possible and then test it as soon as possible."
After An Zhongsheng finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly and then said, "Okay, then let's do it your way."
"Let's go eat first, and chat while we eat."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao put his arm around An Zhongsheng and led him toward the reception room.
As they walked, he inquired about the details of the trip, followed by Section Chief Xiao Sun and others, and together they went up to the meeting room.
This scene evoked not only shock but also envy in the eyes of those around them.
Nowadays, there are very few people who can be treated so kindly by Minister Yang.
Everyone took their seats in the reception room. Yang Xiaotao sat with An Zhongsheng, and Chen Gong and Elder Ye from the Ninth Department were also present. A sumptuous meal was laid out on the table.
"Director An, please try this braised pork first. It was made by Minister Yang himself."
Chen Gong was the first to speak, and An Zhongsheng and the other two were excited. Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I heard that you didn't like the food there, so I specially prepared this."
"Yeah, that kind of dish, it's okay to try it once or twice a day, but eating it every meal, our stomachs really can't take it."
An Zhongsheng patted his belly and said, "The food is good, but we're destined for revolutionary construction, we can't stand the drudgery of extravagance!"
Everyone laughed after he finished speaking.
Yang Xiaotao poured wine for An Zhongsheng, and everyone else filled their glasses as well. "Come on, this wine is to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."
"Thank you, Yangbu."
"Thank you, Commander Yang!"
The glasses clinked together, and after everyone finished their drinks, the atmosphere at the table became lively.
An Zhongsheng and the other two recounted the details of their mission.
Yang Xiaotao and the others listened attentively.
"Director Yang, this is what I recorded at the exhibition. There are a lot of things about machinery in it. I also took some photos. We can develop them and look at them later."
An Zhongsheng handed the notebook containing the notes to Yang Xiaotao.
After taking the notebook, Yang Xiaotao looked at it carefully for a while before solemnly closing it. "Director An, you've accomplished an extra task on top of completing your mission."
"This glass is for you."
"No, no, I just thought I couldn't go there for nothing. It cost so much money, I had to bring something back, so I wrote it down."
"As long as it's useful to us, that's fine."
Yang Xiaotao held up his wine glass. "It's useful, very useful."
An Zhongsheng was also pleased to see this. As long as it was useful, his efforts had not been in vain.
The three then took turns recounting their experiences on the trip.
When Yang Xiaotao learned that the three of them had cheated him out of his life, he was even more delighted and picked up a wine bottle to fill the bottles for each of them, followed by another round of clinking glasses.
Finally, when An Zhongsheng mentioned Ansel, Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up.
"Let's talk about this after we get back on track in a while."
Upon hearing this, An Zhongsheng nodded, though his vision was somewhat blurry.
An Zhongsheng was taken home in the evening and only then did he sober up a bit.
Then, seeing the concerned look in his wife's eyes, An Zhongsheng walked up to her, his heart filled with longing.
Then, longing transformed into a gentle outpouring.
The next day, An Zhongsheng got up and went to work as usual.
After arriving at headquarters and confirming with Yang Xiaotao, he led the research institute staff to the steel plant.
Yang Xiaotao also confided in Old Chen about the natural gas materials.
Two days later, it was October 1st.
As usual, the city of Beijing was packed with people that day, with red flags waving and drums beating loudly.
Even though this wasn't Yang Xiaotao's first time climbing the city wall, the sight before him still made his chest pound faster. Standing there, he could feel the heartfelt support and the dramatic change in people's spirits.
Perhaps this is the scene he most wanted to see while standing here.
At noon, we ate lunch in the banquet hall as usual.
The food on the table was plentiful, exquisitely prepared, and tasted authentic.
These simple ingredients, when prepared by a skilled chef, can always produce a unique and delicious flavor.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao could only say, "He truly deserves to be called a master chef of state banquets."
Interestingly, perhaps due to the negative impact of Yang Xiaotao's previous banquet, this time he was seated at the very front of the center.
This surprised Yang Xiaotao.
Because he remembered that the other party was not one to give up easily.
However, he wasn't made of clay; since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it.
Yang Xiaotao sat down next to Huang Lao, since everyone at the table was a familiar face.
"You're here for dinner again? I thought you weren't coming."
Old Huang smiled and said, knowing that Yang Xiaotao was not interested in these banquets, which was why he asked the question.
Yang Xiaotao picked up a cup and poured himself a glass of water. "Old Chen sent me, I had to come."
Upon hearing this, Old Wang chuckled and said, "Everyone else is eager to come, but you only come if you're invited."
Yang Xiaotao sipped his tea and said, "In a few years, I will come every year."
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman on the stage who was full of vigor and confidence.
He then lowered his head and ate.
"By the way, I heard you guys have made a turbofan engine?"
"How did the test go?"
Old Wang took a bite of Dongpo pork and asked curiously.
"The test data is okay, and we estimate that the final results will be available in another month."
Yang Xiaotao told the truth, and Old Wang put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, send us a few of them when the time comes, so we can study the new missiles."
Yang Xiaotao nodded again, "Okay, just give me the cost price later."
Old Wang grinned, then picked up his glass. "With our relationship, talking about money is too vulgar. Come on, let's drink."
Old Qin, standing nearby, shook his head. "This is truly a case of even close brothers keeping clear accounts."
Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "Of course, the most important thing in doing business is to be honest and trustworthy, and to treat everyone fairly, young and old."
Old Wang slurped down the Moutai in his glass and said irritably, "Are you saying I'm old?"
"Fine, I'll just say it."
"Hey, just remember to give me a discount then."
As he said this, Yang Xiaotao ignored him, while Old Huang beside him was asking about the natural gas project.
"Old Xia has been incredibly busy lately. How's your project going?"
Old Huang asked with great concern, "We have already started researching and assembling the small tunnel boring machine you need."
"It should be assembled and ready for use around the New Year. Hopefully, it won't cause any delays."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "It won't be delayed."
"The project is now on track, but it will take a few more days before it can be implemented."
"Firstly, we need to find a suitable gas field, which hasn't been resolved yet."
"Secondly, the gas pipelines are still under production and manufacturing, which also takes time."
"Thirdly, there's the route design. We'll need to conduct on-site inspections later, otherwise, who knows if it will be the same as on the map?"
"Finally, there's the issue of supplies; we still don't have enough. We need to prepare at least more."
After Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, Old Wang, who was listening nearby, immediately asked, "I heard you've prepared several billion yuan, isn't that enough?"
"To be precise, it's 11.3 billion!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
At this, Old Zhou and the others who were eating with their heads down looked up in surprise.
More than 10 billion.
They could build many Jiaolong submersibles.
"Beautiful knife!"
As before, Yang Xiaotao added two more words.
Then came another wave of disdain.
However, Old Huang still asked curiously, "Isn't this much money enough?"
“The labor costs are all paid by the production team, and the machinery and equipment are not expensive. The steel produced is all produced by your Ninth Department’s steel plant. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t cost this much money.”
Everyone else felt the same way, thinking that the Ninth Department was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But Yang Xiaotao still shook his head, "This is not enough at all, it's far from enough."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yang Xiaotao explained, "Chief, this pipeline runs from west to east, and the manpower required is astronomical. We can't give money, but we can give food."
"For this kind of physically demanding work, you should at least eat some oily food."
"Therefore, we not only need to buy grain from abroad, but also meat!"
"These all cost money."
"Then some pipes are exposed outside, so this requires the use of local land resources."
“If it passes through mountains and deserts, it’s better, but if it passes through farmland or even through villages, compensation will be required.”
"This is no small amount of money."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the dinner table fell silent.
Then, Zhao, an old man from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, asked curiously, "Um, do we still need to compensate for this land use?"
Old Wang frowned and shook his head upon hearing this, "I've never heard of that before."
However, Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building nodded, "I have heard about this. It seems that there is a policy that stipulates that if farmland is occupied for construction projects, compensation should be several times the value of the land's output, but the specific amount is not clearly stipulated."
At this point, Mr. Qian looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "What is the amount of subsidy you are tentatively offering?"
Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotao replied, "One thousand yuan per mu for dry land, one thousand eight hundred yuan per mu for paddy fields, and two thousand yuan per mu for vegetable fields."
"Furthermore, considering that the land is collectively owned, the forest land is also 600 yuan per mu, while the undeveloped land is only 200 yuan per mu."
Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, one point at a time, leaving everyone at the dinner table speechless.
One acre of land, one thousand yuan.
Even if the compensation is given to the collective, a portion of it will eventually be distributed.
With so much money, the boys in the village immediately became the targets of matchmakers.
However, now is not the time to talk about these things. After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation, he confirmed that it was indeed true that they were short of money.
Although Huang Lao, Qin Lao, and the others felt that the amount given was too much, they couldn't really interfere.
There's nothing else to it; they're rich, so they can do whatever they want.
The group chatted about other things, and then the others at the back table became interested when they heard that compensation would be given for land expropriation.
Before we even finished eating, someone came up to ask what was going on.
Then he personally received confirmation from Yang Xiaotao that there would be subsidies, and the standards were consistent.
For a moment, the people around them whispered among themselves.
Everyone wants to make the natural gas route take an extra detour within the country, so that they can accumulate more reserve funds.
