Chapter 837 Investment exceeds 80 billion (Subscription required)

Unknowingly, I turned the last page of 1992 and entered 1993.

Inside the courtyard.

Everyone was whispering for Liu Tao's eldest daughter, Liu Yingqing.

There are 11 candles on the cake, and the candles have been lit.

The cheerful melody of "Happy Birthday" was playing, and others were singing along.

Liu Yingqing closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and was making a wish.

Liu Tao is very happy. Every year, he will specially celebrate his child's birthday.

After all, life always needs some sense of ritual.

Including Zhu Lin's birthday, he will also prepare it, send a bouquet of flowers, prepare a cake, and cook it himself.

Liu Yingqing's birthday happened to be New Year's Day, so she had always celebrated her birthday in the courtyard since she was a child.

After making her wish, Liu Yingqing took a deep breath and blew out all the candles on the cake.

The crowd clapped and cheered.

Then Liu Yingqing cut the cake.

The more people there are, the bigger the cake will be.

Make sure everyone has a piece of cake to eat.

The shape of the cake may not be as exquisite as it will be in the future, but the taste is very good.

Liu Tao never thought about how promising his children would be. His greatest hope was not that his children would become dragons and phoenixes, but that they would grow up healthy and happy.

So as long as he has time, Liu Tao will accompany them as much as possible.

Because there is not much time left to accompany them to grow up.

The youngest child is now 10 years old.

By the time they reach junior high school, children will have their own ideas, the space they want, and their own little secrets, and they no longer need company.

Looking at Zhu Lin's belly, she was already pregnant. She looked pregnant at first glance.

In a few months, they will welcome the birth of new life.

Liu Tao is full of expectations for this little life that has caused huge controversy from the beginning.

The fifth child, Zhu Lin, seemed more relaxed than before.

This is the case for women. It is the most painful to be pregnant with the first child, and it is also the most painful to give birth to the first child. After the second child, it seems easier.

When going to bed at night, lying on the bed with Zhu Lin in his arms, Liu Tao put a hand on Zhu Lin's belly and felt the fetal movement.

This kind of fetal movement made Liu Tao feel the touch of life.

"Tell me, could it be twins this time?" Liu Tao whispered, "I seem to feel two fetal movements."

Zhu Lin said with a smile, "How can such a good thing happen? It is rare to have a pair of twins."

Twins and twins are rare.

In China, the probability of twins is only 0.5%, and the probability of twins having twins is only 25%, which is 0.125%.

You can imagine how rare it is.

"Maybe this is fate. Only by fate will he come to our home." Liu Tao chuckled.

Zhu Lin touched her belly, feeling the life gestating in it, and there was an aura of maternal love about her body.

She loves children very much, and children bring her more joy and happiness.

Moreover, in traditional thought, the concept of having more children means more blessings also influenced Zhu Lin.

Giving birth to children is also one of her responsibilities.

Revolution cannot be accomplished by one generation; it requires the efforts of one generation after another.

The revolutionary cause needs successors.

Fall asleep quietly.

In his sleep, Liu Tao seemed to see two children raising their hands and shouting "Dad" to him. He heard the children's happy voices.

When he woke up, Liu Tao could no longer remember clearly the face of the child in the dream or whether it was a girl or a boy. He only remembered that they were two children.

When Liu Tao told Zhu Lin about this, Zhu Lin said funnyly: "This is called thinking about things every day and dreaming about them at night. It is not science."

Liu Tao smiled and ate breakfast without saying anything else.

Not long after, Lin Zhenye came to the door.

"Director, we have now investigated all the courtyard houses in the capital. There are 36,973 in total." Lin Zhenye reported.

The floor plan in his hand was spread out, with the location of each courtyard marked on it.

Liu Tao did not expect that there are nearly 37,000 courtyard houses in the capital.

These 37,000 courtyards include palaces, palaces, temples, etc., as well as large courtyards and poorly preserved and dilapidated courtyards.

It can be said that this is a very huge number.

Even excluding palaces, palaces, and temples, the number of courtyard houses is still astonishing.

"All the courtyard houses that can be acquired at present have been acquired. The people who received the money have moved out of the courtyards. Those who want to replace their houses will move out when the resettlement houses are built. All contracts and agreements have been written." Lin Zhenye said: "There are still a small number of people who don't want to sell and want to live on their own!"

Liu Tao nodded, this is normal, just like his courtyard house, he doesn't want to sell it.

There is no forced buying or selling, and the principle is voluntary.

"A total of 26.25 billion yuan was spent on buying courtyard houses, of which..."

Liu Tao was secretly surprised. He didn't expect to spend so much money on it.

This is just for the purchase. Later repairs and reconstructions will also cost a lot of money.

Lin Zhenye spread out a general floor plan and floor plans.

"These were planned and designed by a special planning and design institute, and ancient architectural experts were also invited. Now we have preliminary planning and design drawings," Lin Zhenye introduced.

The more concentrated areas will be built into ancient streets, while the less concentrated areas will be built into residential courtyards or shops, restaurants, teahouses and the like.

The courtyards basically have to undergo modernization before they can be lived in comfortably.

Otherwise, many large courtyards have all kinds of wires like spider webs, and there are no toilets, only public toilets.

This is obviously not suitable for modern society.

"According to preliminary estimates, the subsequent development of the courtyards is expected to invest 55 billion yuan." At the end, Lin Zhenye's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head lowered involuntarily.

You know, before this, the estimate was about 30 billion.

But now the sum of the two has exceeded 80 billion yuan.

Liu Tao sighed in his heart. He has already spent 26.25 billion yuan. Can he not continue to invest?

He had to bite the bullet and get this done.

To be honest, the total investment was so large that it was beyond his expectations.

"Don't be afraid to spend money, but do things well, do things well, remember, don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught. If you can't control your inner greed, don't blame me for being merciless after the matter is exposed!" Liu Tao warned.

A large amount of capital investment can easily arouse people's greed.

Liu Tao is not afraid of such a large investment, because it will not take many years to recover such a large amount of money. What he is afraid of is that if he invests so much money, the matter will not be done well and he will become a historical sinner.

In addition, Lin Zhenye and others cannot keep their original intentions and are blinded by interests. At that time, he will have to shed tears and execute Ma Su.

To be honest, Liu Tao does not want this situation to happen.

But once it happens, he will deal with it mercilessly no matter how painful it is.

In the past ten years, many people have been dealt with by him, including many old people from the original Panshan Machinery Factory.
