Chapter 240: Xia, Shang and Zhou Chronology Project
All five of Liu Hongmin's proposals were passed with basically no opposition.
Problems in the real estate industry are constantly in the news. Liu Hongmin himself owns a real estate company, which is the best in the country. Jinpeng Company has never borrowed money from banks and has expanded entirely on its own internal strength.
The profits of Jinpeng Shopping Center are mainly from amusement facilities. The rent of Jinpeng Shopping Center is not very high. If it relies on rent alone, it may not be able to recover the investment in ten years. It is different to rely on amusement facilities. This is to transfer the money of children. There is also a cinema with seven theaters, which can make millions every year. The amusement park is more profitable than the cinema, with a profit of at least tens of millions.
The investment in Jinpeng Shopping Mall was only over 10 million yuan. Adding the rent, Jinpeng Shopping Mall recovered its investment in less than a year. As for the staff salary, it was only a few hundred thousand yuan, which could be ignored.
After recovering the cost, the profit of the cinema alone is enough to cover the maintenance costs and staff salaries. The amusement facilities and rentals are pure profit, especially the rentals, which will also rise with the improvement of the economy.
So far, Jinpeng Shopping Mall has built one in each of the prosperous areas of Haicheng and Yangcheng. Five residential areas have been built, all of which are high-quality and low-priced commercial housing. People all recognize the Jinpeng brand, so the capital is recovered very quickly.
Coupled with the continuous annual capital injection from the toy factory, Jinpeng Company's development is getting better and better.
The representatives all know that if all real estate companies can be like Jinpeng Company, then our real estate industry will develop in a healthy and orderly manner.
Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking. Other real estate companies can't do what Jinpeng Company does. It's good enough if they don't cut corners.
Liu Hongmin's proposal gave the representatives hope, so how could they not agree?
Regarding the issue of food safety, the representatives were very worried about the food safety incident in Haicheng. If it cannot be controlled, it will become a national health incident, which is no small matter.
Although many people think Liu Hongmin is a bit alarmist, it must be said that what he said makes sense. How can food be exempted from inspection? What if someone wants to sabotage it? Wouldn't it be too late to regret it?
When it comes to attracting investment, all the representatives are furious. Those who were deceived are simply stupid. Such people are not qualified to be in charge of a party. If they didn't have someone, they would have been arrested and punished long ago.
Although this matter is still worth discussing, agreeing to Liu Hongmin's proposal is equivalent to deterring this group of people.
The issue of educational atmosphere should also be addressed. With the rise of Liu Hongmin, this matter has been reported everywhere. From primary school to university, this atmosphere has always existed and even been included in textbooks. I believe many people have learned the story of Washington chopping down trees. It was fabricated by a psychologist and is not true at all.
The argument of worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners frequently appears in newspapers, and the voices are all from famous experts and scholars! If such people are allowed to teach and educate people, how can they teach students to be law-abiding?
As for the matter of historical division, the representatives did not understand it very well. But they knew that Liu Hongmin was a professional history student, and since he had proposed it, it was a very necessary matter. For Liu Hongmin's sake, they would agree.
After the two sessions, Liu Hongmin did not immediately move forward with the dating project because his best candidate, Professor Tao, had not yet completed the work of sorting out the original red grid book.
Two days later, Liu Xinwu and Yang Xiao came to visit. Liu Hongmin took this opportunity to finish writing "Source Code".
"Science Fiction World" was published on the 15th, and Professor Tao returned home on the 16th.
Liu Hongmin paid a visit without delay.
"Red people?" Professor Tao was surprised. "You are so anxious, what's the matter?"
"I really have something to do!" Liu Hongmin said directly, "Professor, I want to fund a historical periodization project and reorganize our country's chronology according to existing reliable historical materials. I would like to invite you to be the person in charge of this project. I wonder if you are interested."
Professor Tao stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Of course I'm interested. Do you really want to do this project?"
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Of course, I never tell lies."
Professor Tao reminded: "This is a lot of money." "How much money can it be?" Liu Hongmin asked with a smile.
Professor Tao patted his head and said, "I forgot that you have plenty of money. OK, I'll take this job."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Okay! I'll leave this to you!"
Professor Tao nodded, "I'll rest at home for two days, and then we'll start working."
"no problem!"
Professor Tao asked: "What preliminary work has been done?"
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "I have prepared 10 million as the first phase of funding for this project."
Professor Tao saw him stop and couldn't help asking, "Anything else?"
"No more!" Liu Hongmin shook his head.
Professor Tao was speechless. "So you just paid the money and did nothing else?"
"It's not that I haven't done it!" Liu Hongmin said with a smile: "I put forward a proposal at the Double Sessions, and it has been approved. You can take the money and go directly to the relevant department to apply for it."
"You even applied for it?" Professor Tao glared. "I was wondering how could you be so kind, you want me to work like a slave for you."
Liu Hongmin immediately stood up and made a tactical retreat. "I'm responsible for showing up, and you're responsible for doing the work. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"
Professor Tao was so angry that he rolled his eyes and said, "Get out of here right now."
Liu Hongmin put his bank card on the table and left without hesitation. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Professor Tao would really beat him.
Picking up the bank card, Professor Tao sighed helplessly. His favorite student had completely left the academic world. With his personality, he was indeed not suitable for academic work.
However, this guy is really good at making money. He took out 10 million just by saying so.
After two days of rest, Professor Tao immediately took his bank card to the relevant department. With Professor Tao's reputation in the academic community and Liu Hongmin's connections, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Chronology Project was approved.
Professor Tao also believes that since the Qin and Han dynasties, there is sufficient historical data and no need to change it. Because the historical data of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are incomplete, there is a lot of room for exploration. Before the period division, the emperor's table was written with an approximate number of years. Therefore, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are the focus of the period division project, so the name of the period division project is Xia, Shang and Zhou, which is simple, straightforward and clear.
After the project was established, Professor Tao started recruiting people with 95 million yuan. It took him two years to recruit a team and then collect historical materials across the country. With Liu Hongmin's huge financial resources, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasty dating project was finally completed in , and the chronology of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was updated to the exact year.
This is the chronology of emperors that we see today.
