Chapter 1473: Chapter 780: He Gave Too Much (Please Subscribe)_2

Staff members of the Urban Planning Bureau turned their gaze towards Ding Yue, not knowing how to deal with the situation at hand.

"This matter is actually quite simple."

Ding Yue spread his hands and said with a smile: "There are two solutions."

"Principal Ding, what solutions?"

The staff from the Urban Planning Bureau immediately asked.

Factory Director Wang Daxi also looked toward Principal Ding. He actually wanted to know what good solutions there were, but the prerequisite was that his factory definitely couldn’t go bankrupt, otherwise everything would be in vain.

After all, there were so many workers in the factory who had followed him for many years; even if he were not considering for himself, he had to think about these veteran workers!

"Firstly, you don’t relocate for the time being, wait until all current orders are completed, then relocate. However, this will seriously affect the construction progress of Mist City Arts and Science University."

Ding Yue calmly said.

Ding Yue didn’t actually recommend this method because the planning and construction of Mist City Arts and Science University’s South Campus were timed tightly. Any delays could potentially disrupt the recruitment plan for the next year.

"Ah, this."

After hearing this, Factory Director Wang Daxi felt somewhat remorseful, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if he wanted to support Principal Ding and Mist City Arts and Science University, he couldn’t just sacrifice the entire steel mill, could he?

"Factory Director Wang, don’t rush, let me tell you the second solution."

Ding Yue was still very calm as he spoke to Factory Director Wang Daxi.

"Mhm, Principal Ding, please speak."

Factory Director Wang Daxi nodded.

"The second solution is actually very simple."

Ding Yue spread his hands and said: "I’ll acquire your factory."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the steel mill’s office suddenly became somewhat tense.

Mainly because no one had expected Principal Ding to propose such a solution.

The managers under Factory Director Wang Daxi were all dumbstruck.

Holy moly, to directly buy out the factory with cash?

That was just too outrageous.

Furthermore, although the steel mill wasn’t very large, it was of a certain scale; to buy such a factory would probably require around one billion yuan, which wasn’t an easy amount to come by.

"Principal Ding, this..."

For a moment, Factory Director Wang Daxi didn’t know what to say.

"Principal Ding, what do we do with the steel mill after acquiring it?"[/p]

[p> Secretary Wen Ruohan, who was close by Ding Yue, leaned in a bit and asked softly.[/p]

[p> "I’ll tell you about it later."[/p]

[p> Ding Yue said with a smile and then looked at Factory Director Wang Daxi, asking, "How about it, Factory Director Wang, are you considering this idea? Or we can do it this way, the losses incurred by this relocation will be fully compensated by Mist City Arts and Science University."[/p]

[p> "Um... Principal Ding, about the acquisition, I’m afraid the employees of our factory won’t agree to it easily since our factory also went through shareholding reform,"[/p]

[p> Factory Director Wang Daxi said while shaking his head: "But what you just said, that you can really compensate us for all the losses caused by the relocation?"[/p]

[p> When Factory Director Wang Daxi spoke these words, his eyes seemed to be shining.[/p]

[p> It wasn’t that Factory Director Wang Daxi was greedy for money, it’s because if the relocation really happened, the resulting losses would be unbearable for his steel mill, and without full compensation for the losses, his steel mill would be done for, and all the workers of the steel mill would lose their jobs and be laid off.[/p]

[p> "Yes, I always mean what I say."[/p]

[p> Ding Yue nodded, his eyes and tone were very firm.[/p]

It seemed that to ensure the smooth relocation of the steel mill, it would indeed cost some money, but for Ding Yue, shaving a bit off his fortune for this was not a big deal.[/p]

If the entire valuation of the steel mill was around one billion yuan, Ding Yue estimated that the losses caused by this one relocation wouldn’t exceed thirty million yuan.[/p]

Thirty million yuan is a huge sum for an ordinary factory or company, but for Ding Yue’s wealth, thirty million is just pocket change.[/p]

Spending a bit of petty cash to ensure the smooth relocation of this plot of land and the successful planning, design, and construction commencement of Mist City Arts and Science University is still a very cost-effective move, after all, it is a crucial factor affecting the progress of the entire catchment area of Mist City Arts and Science University, and naturally it needs to be taken seriously.

"How about it?"

"What do you think?"

"I’m just afraid that he won’t deliver when the time comes."

"If he can really compensate for all our losses, then of course we should support the relocation."

"Right, right, right."

"But is what he said true?"

The managers under Factory Director Wang Daxi started discussing fervently.

Even Factory Director Wang Daxi himself joined the discussion: "Principal Ding’s character is undoubtedly impeccable, and from what I know, Mist City Arts and Science University does have that capability."

"Director Wang, no hurry, take your time to discuss."

Principal Ding spoke to Wang Daxi with absolute composure.

Ding Yue was confident about this matter, estimating that in the end, Factory Director Wang Daxi and his team would surely agree, because if they didn’t accept such conditions, it would be equivalent to declaring opposition to Mist City Arts and Science University.

Furthermore, it would also be equivalent to opposing the Mist City Government building, because if they refused to relocate, it would be seen as utterly unsupportive of the work of the Mist City Government building, and then, how could they possibly receive any relocation incentives?

Thus, Factory Director Wang Daxi and several seasoned employees as well as managers discussed for about ten minutes.

"If all else fails, let’s agree to it."

"Right, right, right, if the worst comes to the worst and this order isn’t completed on time, Principal Ding also said he would compensate us for the losses."

"In that case, we might as well support the relocation."

"So, are we all in agreement?"

"In theory, I support it, but I’m still worried that they won’t deliver when the time comes, and then we’d be ruined."

"How about we ask someone from the Urban Planning Bureau, or from the Mist City Government building, to act as a witness or provide a guarantee of sorts?"

"Right, right, right, have them transfer the money to the guarantor first, otherwise, we can’t just agree lightly."

After discussing with the factory’s managers, Factory Director Wang Daxi unanimously decided to accept the terms offered by Principal Ding.

There was no choice.

After all, Principal Ding’s offer was simply too generous.

"Principal Ding, we’ve made our decision."

Factory Director Wang Daxi, on behalf of the entire steel factory, said to Ding Yue.

"Oh? So, what have you decided?" asked Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, we can agree to the solution you just mentioned, but let’s be straight — some in the factory are worried you won’t fulfill the promise, so... so we’d like a guarantee,"

Factory Director Wang Daxi stated bluntly.

This was understandable, after all, they were indeed worried about being promised "big talk" that wouldn’t be honored, which would really devastate them.

"Our Urban Planning Bureau can provide a guarantee for Principal Ding," said a staff member of the Urban Planning Bureau immediately.

"There’s no need for such trouble; the direct relocation will definitely cause certain losses, so here’s what, I will have my finance department coordinate with you afterwards,"

Ding Yue said generously.

Seeing Principal Ding so magnanimous and ready to pay, Factory Director Wang Daxi and the people at the steel factory basically had nothing else to say.

With matters at this stage, not supporting Mist City Arts and Science University — what else could one expect?

"Alright, Principal Ding, we will immediately stop production and prepare for the relocation!" Factory Director Wang Daxi declared with a fervent gaze.

Wen Ruohan now understood.

For Principal Ding, any issue that can be resolved with money is not an issue at all.

The problem that the city’s Urban Planning Bureau struggled with for quite some time was resolved directly after Principal Ding’s visit today.
