In terms of demolition, he understood his parents quite well.
He believed that his parents did not resist because they wanted better compensation, but because they wanted to spend more time with their neighbors.
Especially after the quarrel in the villa park, he understood his parents' feelings and thoughts better. No place was better than your own!
Besides, he was always away from home, and it was not practical to bring his parents to America or Australia. At their age, they only wanted to return to their roots. They had no interest in beautiful scenery or wealth.
Besides, there was another reason why his father took on this task. Other than his early years in the production team, he had never been an official and had never experienced what it felt like to be a leader.
This time, the neighbors elected him to take the lead, and he enjoyed it.
After hanging up, Li Du returned to his desk and sat down.
On the table were the compensation conditions, which were twice the current living area, and then according to the number of people in the household register, each family would be compensated 100,000 dollars.
For the demolition and relocation of the county, these conditions were considered to be in line with the norms. However, for the residents who were to be relocated, these conditions were clearly not good enough. They wanted more.
Li Du did not want to be used by the neighbors, but he also did not want his parents to be hurt, so he was in a dilemma.
At first, he thought that he would be in a dilemma after contacting the government, but he thought that he would be troubled by how much to invest and what projects to invest in. He did not expect that he would be troubled by how to get money from the government.
He looked at the community planning map of the relocation house and the development plan of Cuiji Street, frowning and thinking. The others surrounded the secretary and the others, crying and complaining, as if they were quarreling, and their voices shook the glass.
Now they were living in old buildings, the highest six floors, without elevators. The building was very big, with four families in one unit. There was a large open space in front of the unit, which could be used as a small square or a sunning yard. Food and sundries could be stored there.
This was a hidden benefit, and after moving to the new community, the conditions would not be so good.
The new community was a high-rise with elevators, a total of 28 floors. The buildings were all buildings, and there was no square or garden. It was like a bird's nest, and it was obviously not comfortable to live in.
Li Du studied the planning map and did not speak from beginning to end. The secretary and the others felt that he was a little mysterious, and specially asked him to express his personal opinion.
This was a job that would offend people, and Li Du was not going to stick his neck out.
However, with a group of people staring at him, it would be hard for him to refuse. He had an idea. Learning from Da Mao's behavior in the Hpakant field, he opened his mouth and said, "Ah ba ba ba …"
"Mute?" Everyone was stunned.
He didn't say a word along the way, and there were no neighbors here. He wasn't home all year round, so no one knew his exact situation.
The Secretary's face immediately darkened. Finding a mute to be the speaker, wasn't this deliberately disgusting?
They did not pay any more attention to Li Du. They gathered together to discuss the terms of compensation. There were all kinds of back-and-forth, all kinds of bargaining, all kinds of price guerrilla warfare. It was chaotic and lively.
At the end of the seminar, there was not much progress. The secretary helplessly waved his hand and asked someone to send them off.
Li Du stayed behind and waited for the other resisters to leave. He smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Cui. Let's talk now."
An official was puzzled. "Aren't you mute?"
Secretary Cui was so angry that he rolled his eyes. F * ck, do you have a brain? He was obviously pretending to be deaf and mute.
Li Du spread out the demolition plan and said, "How about this, Secretary. I've seen the conditions of the neighbors in our unit. They don't ask for much. In fact, they just want a few hundred thousand more per household."
A secretary said angrily, "That's not high? We're just a small county. How much does a house cost? "
Li Du smiled and said, "Don't worry. I see that this new community has an activity center, right? This activity center looks quite big. How about this, I'll invest in it. This is a government project, right? "
Secretary Cui nodded and continued, "Then I'll pay for this, and you can use the money saved to compensate the residents in our unit. Of course, this has to be done privately. I promise that the people in our unit won't talk about it. How about that?"
The group of officials was stunned and said, "What are you after?"
Li Du said, "I'm trying to resolve our dispute as soon as possible. The investment for this activity center should not be less than five million, right? I'll pay five million. "
"That's it?" Secretary Cui asked suspiciously.
Li Du nodded and smiled. "Yes, that's it. There are no other conditions. I just hope that we can resolve this matter as soon as possible!"
Secretary Cui was immediately happy. He came up and shook Li Du's hand with all his might. He said, "Young comrades like us are more aware."
It was not that Li Du was aware, but that he did not have time to waste on this matter. He was more worried that the dispute would escalate and his parents would be implicated. After all, he was going to get married soon.
Another reason was that he was spending money to buy face for his parents. This was equivalent to his parents winning the dispute with the government, and they would have a higher status among the neighbors.
He signed a sponsorship agreement with the county government for the community activity center. Then he went back and briefly mentioned the matter to his parents, saying that the matter had been resolved, but that it had to be kept a secret. They were sponsoring a project.
The matter was finally resolved perfectly. To Li Du, anything that could be resolved with money was not a problem. Spending some money to help his parents gain status among the neighbors was also a very worthwhile thing for him.
After the Lantern Festival, Li Du brought Sophie and the little ones back.
After the plane set off, they encountered some trouble midway. Because they were on a private plane, the plane had a problem, and they had to wait for a while.
After waiting for two days, the problem with the plane was still not solved, so they changed to another plane. They flew to Australia for the time being, and then turned back.
Sophie wondered why they had to turn back to Australia. It was originally a matter of flying from the northern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Now that they were going to the southern hemisphere, the distance would be much longer.
Li Du explained, "I'm not sure. It seems that the replacement plane is going to fly to Melbourne to deal with something. We're just borrowing it. But it's just as well. We can go to Seagull Island when we get there. "
Sophie did not care. She got on the plane and continued to play with the little ones.
The plane flew to the southern hemisphere. After landing in Melbourne, Big Ivan was waiting for them in a helicopter. The group got on the helicopter again and continued to fly southeast.
After a while, Seagull Island came into view.
Seagull Island was located in the middle of the vast ocean, with a piece of green floating on the blue, like an emerald dotted on the sea.
The environment on the island was well protected. In addition, there was a dock, a small airport, and a number of houses. A holiday villa was built on the mountain. It was smoky, which was due to the large number of hot springs.
The helicopter landed, and when the wings stopped spinning, Li Du opened the door to let Sophie jump out. As soon as she landed, she looked up and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
