On the way, Song Chaoyang did not stay idle. He and Du Minsheng, who was in the same car, held the administrative planning map of Qingyang City and discussed the location of the joint campus between Qingyang City and the Provincial Agricultural University.
Li Rui, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked back from time to time and listened attentively to the opinions of the two leaders. He felt that he had benefited a lot.
The location of the campus had to be carefully chosen. For example, the campus had to be located in a pollution-free area, and the distance between the campus and various pollution sources had to comply with the national regulations on protection distance. Another example was that the campus had to be located in a convenient location, but it had to avoid the downtown area as much as possible. Another example was that the campus had to be located in an area with ample sunlight, good air circulation, a dry place, good drainage, and a relatively high terrain. The campus had to be equipped with a sports field, water supply, drainage, and power supply facilities, and so on.
Although Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng were laymen in the education industry, they had done their homework in advance. That was why they could speak with substance and reason now.
The two discussed for a while. First, they eliminated the high-rise area, and then they chose between the northern and southern districts for a long time. Finally, they finalized three candidate areas, which were located in the north of the northern district, northeast of the northern district, and east of the southern district. Although they were all in the suburbs, the environment was excellent.
However, this was only a preliminary idea. Whether it could be finalized or not depended on whether the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee would approve it or not, and whether the Provincial Agricultural University would accept it or not.
Then, Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng talked about the issue of funding for the campus.
As the host of Qingyang City, the so-called joint construction of a branch was definitely not as simple as just giving up a piece of land. They would also need to fork out real money and invest funds together with the provincial agricultural university to build a campus, bring in a first-rate teaching team, and create key subjects and key majors. This investment would definitely not be a small amount. One or two hundred million would be a small amount, and some might even need three or five hundred million. This was definitely a big problem for the finance of Qingyang City.
Of course, the province had also given a certain amount of financial support for the construction of colleges and universities this time. However, there was not much money allocated to each city. It could be said that it was a drop in the bucket. Therefore, Qingyang City and the provincial agriculture department had to actively raise funds to ensure that the construction process would not fail.
Li Rui listened to the discussion between Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng for a while. Seeing that both of them were worried about the source of funds, he had an idea. He turned his head and said, "Secretary, Secretary-General, I think we can solicit donations from local enterprises and win the support of local entrepreneurs. I believe they are very willing to support the development of education and culture in their hometown. For example, the Construction Group had always been supportive of the city's construction and development. If they asked for help, it shouldn't be a problem to raise one or two hundred million yuan. At most, we'll allow them to name a building in the school after the group, such as the library. While we'll advertise it, we'll also praise its virtues. I believe they'll be happy to accept it. "
Song Chaoyang was stunned. After a while, he said, "You mean to ask for donations from Han Shui? But how many more days could he jump around? I'm afraid that before we could ask for donations, he would already … "
Li Rui smiled and said, "After he's gone, the Construction Group will not collapse. We'll welcome a new leader. I believe the new leader will be more willing to do this kind of charity work."
Song Chaoyang came back to his senses. A smile slowly appeared on his face and said, "I neglected this point. Ha, Xiao Rui, you're right to remind me."
Li Rui said, "You can leave this matter to me. I'll go back and talk to the Han family. I don't dare to say anything else, but as long as the funding gap doesn't exceed three hundred million yuan, the Construction Group should be able to solve it for us."
What Li Rui was thinking was that if the city got rid of Han Shui and helped Han Jin get the Construction Group, which was a huge enterprise with an annual production value of 2 to 3 billion, he would become a billionaire in a few months. In less than 2 years, he would become a billionaire. Under this premise, he would definitely not refuse to contribute 300 million to the construction of the Provincial Agricultural University. Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to become famous. That was why he dared to make this promise in front of Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng, who was listening to the conversation, didn't know that Song Chaoyang and Li Rui were dealing with Han Shui. He also didn't know that Li Rui had already formed a secret alliance with Han Jin. So when he heard Song Chaoyang's promise, he was a little worried. He frowned and said, "Xiao Rui, are you close to Han Shui? Can you promise to persuade him to donate three hundred million yuan? "
Song Chaoyang interrupted, "People's livelihood, you still don't know. Recently, I've been planning to get rid of Han Shui, this evil gang that combines violent crime, prostitution, drug trafficking, gambling, and bribery to officials. Xiao Rui has already been secretly contacting the other members of the Han Family under my orders. Once Han Shui falls, the Han Family will step forward to take over the Construction Group, ensuring that there won't be too much of a stir in the Construction Group and not too much of an impact on society. Now it seems that Xiao Rui is already in good contact with the Han family. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to say this. "
Du Minsheng understood a little and didn't ask anymore.
He didn't ask anymore. Li Rui had already thought about it. During the investigation, he would take some time to tell him the details of how to deal with Han Shui. This was to let him know and also to reassure him.
After the motorcade arrived at Gaokai District, Deputy Governor Lu Qingwei also started his official investigation. His schedule was to first inspect two companies in the morning, then rest for lunch. In the afternoon, he would go to the Gaokai District Government to hold a conference. This meant that his schedule for the day was full. Correspondingly, Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping, the two top leaders of the Party Committee and the government, also had to take out a day to accompany him. Even if they were busy with work, they didn't dare to leave.
During the investigation of the first company, Li Rui saw that Du Minsheng was lagging behind, so he went over to him and told him the whole process of secretly dealing with Han Shui.
After listening, Du Minsheng said, "This mission of yours is very dangerous. First of all, you have to ensure your own safety. Don't take any risks. If Han Shui notices that something is wrong, you'd rather expose your flaws and escape than put yourself in danger. Secondly, don't get too close to Han Jin. I mean, don't accept any benefits from Han Jin. Lastly, don't force Han Jin to donate money, so as to avoid trouble in the future."
Li Rui said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Secretary-General. Especially the second point. How can I be that kind of person?" After saying that, he thought to himself, I have a huge amount of assets left by my brother, Huang Xinghua, in the Swiss bank. I can't spend it all in this lifetime. How can I be greedy for benefits given by others?
The investigation lasted until 4 pm. After the conference ended, Lu Qingwei didn't choose to stay in Qingyang. He went straight back to the provincial capital.
Li Rui accompanied Song Chaoyang back to the Municipal Party Committee for a while. After finishing all the work that could be done for the day, it was time to get off work. Song Chaoyang was also a little tired after running around for the whole day. He didn't work overtime and told Li Rui to get off work before taking the car home to accompany Sun Shuqin.
It was rare for Li Rui to get off work on time. He didn't dare to delay and rushed to the hospital to visit Yang Xiang. When he arrived at the entrance of Sea City General Hospital, he specially bought a bouquet of lilies from a nearby flower shop.
When he saw Yang Xiang, the girl was lying on her back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Xu Da wasn't in the ward with her. He didn't know what she was doing.
The female nurse that Yang Ping invited saw Li Rui enter the room and stood up to greet him.
Li Rui smiled and greeted her. He walked to Yang Xiang's bedside and put the bouquet on the bedside table. He turned to look at her and saw that she was looking at him. He smiled and asked, "How are you?"
Yang Xiang didn't answer. She curled her lips and said, "Just come. Why did you buy flowers? I'm not a pampered young lady. If you have that little money, why don't you treat me to a good meal? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "A good meal is hard to say. Hurry up and recover. When you can walk again, I'll treat you to good food every day."
The female caregiver came over and gave Li Rui a brief introduction of Yang Xiang's recovery. She was recovering at lightning speed and was no longer in a serious condition. However, she would still need to stay in the hospital for another ten days to half a month.
Li Rui thanked her for her attentive care and asked Yang Xiang where Xu Da went.
"He went to see his disciple."
"What?" Li Rui was puzzled. "His disciple? When did he have a disciple? "
Yang Xiang said, "You don't know? You should know. She's a policewoman here. She has a very bad temper. She once caught a Japanese spy … "
Li Rui laughed and remembered. He said, "So she's a Duan Xiaoqian. I haven't contacted her for a long time. I almost forgot about her. En, not bad. She can be considered Xu Da's disciple. She's practicing the martial arts that Xu Da taught her. "
Yang Xiang's curiosity was piqued. She asked, "How's her martial arts? How's it compared to mine?"
Li Rui said, "At this stage, you're definitely stronger than her. However, in the long run …"
Yang Xiang said proudly, "In the long run, she won't be able to do it. She's in her twenties this year? Forget it. I don't care if she's in her twenties. Her body has already matured. Her bones and muscles are already set. She won't be able to train anymore. Moreover, what can she achieve after two or three years? However, I started training when I was three years old. I've been training continuously for over twenty years. I've also received all kinds of training at the headquarters. My actual combat level is about the same as Xu Da's. She can't be stronger than me. "
Li Rui laughed. Duan Xiaoqian was arrogant. This girl in front of him was even more arrogant. However, she did have the right to be arrogant. He said, "Why do you want to compare yourself with Xiaoqian? Other than her bad temper, she's a pretty good person. I'll introduce you two to each other another day. Actually, if we talk about your relationship with Xu Da, you can be considered Xiaoqian's martial uncle. Shouldn't you give her some pointers? "
Yang Xiang said lazily, "We'll talk about it later. I don't know when I'll recover. We'll talk about it when I'm better."
