Xie Yawen said helplessly: "The headquarters is willing to pay the penalty."
Compared with the funds that the entire project needs to bear, the penalty is just a drizzle. During the investment process, after the developer has invested the start-up capital, most of the funds will be circulated through bank loan policies. Now that banks have tightened their policies, Kaiyuan Group, which has a large business in China, will face a shortage of funds.
Wei Qun sighed and said, "Boss Xie, you guys ran away too quickly."
Xie Yawen said: "If you don't have this sensitivity, you are an unqualified businessman."
As the country issued policies to regulate the real estate market, a tragic atmosphere spread across the country. A large number of small developers fled, resulting in unfinished buildings in many places. How could the common people tolerate spending half of their life's income to buy a house that was not yet completed? As a result, petitions frequently occurred at the local level.
Sitting in a private room, Cai Xingpei's face was filled with smiles. He had gambled everything by selling all his real estate businesses and put a lot of energy into the renovation of the Caoyao Old Town project. This risky move was undoubtedly the right one. Otherwise, according to the current banking policy, several of his colleagues around him would have begun to consider whether to pack up and leave.
Tu Daofeng ate a piece of dessert and said with a smile: "The environment here is nice. This is my first time here."
Cai Xingpei took out two cards and placed them next to Tu Daofeng, saying, "I've applied for two VIP cards. You can get free bills for life when you come here to consume. One is for you, and the other one can be given to Mayor Fang, please."
Tu Daofeng quickly said seriously: "Old Cai, you know, I don't have this habit."
Cai Xingpei smiled and said, "This is not a bribe. I am also one of the shareholders of this teahouse, so if you come here to spend money, just consider it as me giving you a free meal."
Tu Daofeng had contact with Cai Xingpei before and knew that Cai Xingpei had never mentioned the existence of such an industry. He guessed that he had heard that Fang Zhicheng liked the tea ceremony, so he deliberately found a teahouse to invest in, which could be regarded as indirectly catering to his interests.
He took out his wallet, put the card on the stack, and sighed, "Old Cai, you really have good intentions."
Cai Xingpei smiled bitterly and said, "In our line of work, the most important thing is connections. Apart from that, there are no other advantages. Mayor Fang is the general manager of the old city project. We will rely on him a lot in the future. Please take the trouble to help and say a few good words for him."
Tu Daofeng nodded and said with a smile: "This is a matter of course."
After parting with Cai Xingpei, Tu Daofeng rushed back to the city government and came to the door of Fang Zhicheng's office. After nodding to Hua Qingwen, Tu Daofeng knocked on the door directly. As the secretary general of the city government, he had the qualifications to knock on the door of any deputy mayor. Fang Zhicheng guessed that it must be Tu Daofeng who knocked on the door, because Hua Qingwen would usually pause after knocking once to see what was going on inside, while Tu Daofeng would habitually knock three times, and the sound was relatively dull, so Fang Zhicheng shouted, "Come in!"
Tu Daofeng walked in with a smile. Fang Zhicheng asked him to sit across from the desk and asked, "How was your conversation with Cai Xingpei?"
Tu Daofeng said truthfully: "The project has already started. The real estate market has been sluggish recently, so he focused his attention on the renovation of Cao Yao's old town project. It was a risky move, but it was the right one, so he was in a good mood. This is the VIP card he asked me to give you!" After he finished speaking, he handed the finely crafted card to Fang Zhicheng.
Fang Zhicheng took it in his hand, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "I have to say that Cai Xingpei is a talent. With his business skills, he can be called a figure. As long as the quality of his project can be guaranteed, the municipal government will definitely give him a green light. You can help me convey it. As for this VIP card, I will not accept it. You can pass it on to Qingwen later. If he often goes to the teahouse, it will be an indirect comfort to Cai Xingpei."
Tu Daofeng thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng was not only careful, but also very experienced in handling things. He was not the kind of stubborn person who did not know how to adapt. In the process of contacting businessmen, he was careful about distance and measure. After a few interactions, he almost made Cai Xingpei very comfortable. You know, Cai Xingpei was a well-known cunning figure in the official and business circles.
Tu Daofeng has now changed his opinion of Fang Zhicheng. He knows how terrifying and powerful Fang Zhicheng is, and he is also optimistic about his future. So he has changed his previous ideas. Perhaps meeting Fang Zhicheng is not a bad thing. If he can really join Fang Zhicheng's camp, wouldn't it be a huge benefit for him
Qu Kang has recently taken the initiative to insinuate Fang Zhicheng many times at the municipal government's work meetings. In fact, it is because he has sensed the threat posed by Fang Zhicheng. Tu Daofeng was originally Qu Kang's confidant, but now he is very close to Fang Zhicheng, which makes it difficult for him to let it go.
Relatively speaking, Sui Qi was easier to control, and Fang Zhicheng had become a headache for Qu Kang. He originally thought that he could enjoy the results by guiding the confrontation between Fang Zhicheng and Wang Guoyue, but he did not expect that the two of them would stop fighting relatively peacefully, which disrupted his plan.
Now Fang Zhicheng is like a virus, rapidly spreading his toxicity in the city government. Anyone who comes into contact with the virus will be controlled by Fang Zhicheng.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and thought for a moment, then handed a document to Tu Daofeng and said, "Take a look at this document."
After browsing a few pages, Tu Daofeng asked in surprise: "Mayor Fang, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Oh?" Fang Zhicheng showed a half-smile.
Tu Daofeng said: "Although the whole country is regulating housing prices, if you issue this order, it may cause Cao Yao's economy to collapse. Besides, Cao Yao's current housing prices are not that high."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Whether the housing prices are high or not is not up to you or me, but the people. I'm afraid you know very well how many vacant houses there are in Caoyao. Since the bubble exists, let's burst it. If the problem is not exposed now, it will be exposed later, and the impact will be even greater."
Tu Daofeng showed a solemn expression on his face, and said, "I'm just afraid that Mayor Qu and Secretary Wang will not easily approve this document, because it is equivalent to forcing all the real estate developers in the city into a dead end."
The document requires that Caoyao keep housing prices constant for two years, and that each investor must offer more than 30 discounted houses. Of course, the municipal government will help solve the problem of tightening bank loan policies based on the specific circumstances of the real estate developers.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said calmly: "Since the country is going to adjust housing prices, the Caoyao Municipal Government must make a statement. This document issued by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission must be implemented resolutely. As for whether it will bring opportunities or disasters to Caoyao's real estate, we will have to wait until the document is implemented in detail to see the result."
Tu Daofeng understood Fang Zhicheng's idea. He planned to take advantage of the national policy to do a public relations marketing for the government's image, actively cooperate and respond to the call of superiors to regulate local housing prices, and at the same time indirectly publicize the achievements made by Cao Yao, so as to achieve the purpose of attracting attention. However, the result may cause real estate developers to collapse directly due to such pressure, and irresponsibly abandon unfinished projects, and then the municipal government can only clean up the mess by itself.
Half an hour later, the document first came to Qu Kang's desk. He frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally signed at the end of the document, "Agree, details need to be carefully discussed before implementation, forwarded to Secretary Guoyue for approval" and his own signature. Then the document was passed around and came to Wang Guoyue's hands. Wang Guoyue's reaction was the same as Qu Kang's, his brows twisted into a "川" shape, and after a long time, he replied: "Execute according to Comrade Qu Kang's opinion!"
The document was then passed to Fang Zhicheng. He held his chin and carefully studied the signatures of Wang Guoyue and Qu Kang, and sighed secretly, the officialdom is a den of foxes!
Chapter 0991 Defensive Policy Document
Why is it said that the officialdom is a den of foxes? Because Qu Kang's signature implied that he hoped Wang Guoyue would hold a special meeting at the Standing Committee to discuss the issue, and Wang Guoyue's reply was even more ambiguous. It seemed that Qu Kang was allowed to make the decision, but in fact it blocked the possibility of collective discussion at the Standing Committee.
So the result is obvious. Qu Kang "agreed" to Fang Zhicheng's proposal, but the details were not discussed at the Standing Committee meeting, and Wang Guoyue did not want to discuss them, so the main responsibility does not lie with Qu Kang. As for Wang Guoyue, he expressed his attitude and did not want to interfere with the document of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, indirectly acquiescing to Fang Zhicheng's proposal, but if there is really a problem, Wang Guoyue can also push it away completely.
Fang Zhicheng had seen too much cunning in the officialdom and knew that both of them were trying to avoid this matter, which was actually indirectly opening a way for himself. Of course, he would also have to bear the consequences himself.
After getting the signatures of the two people, Fang Zhicheng asked Hua Qingwen to deliver it personally to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and instructed it to issue it as soon as possible.
After the document was issued, it really caused a stir. The city government's regulation of Caoyao City's real estate caused panic among real estate developers, and many people began to use their connections and acquaintances to find out the reason.
Fang Zhicheng turned his phone to silent mode and put it in a drawer, not answering any calls except important ones. Two hours later, he took out his phone and found that he had missed more than a dozen calls, many of which were from Sui Qi. Fang Zhicheng called her immediately, and when Sui Qi answered, she sneered and said, "What? Are you thinking of being irresponsible so soon?"
Although they lived next to each other, they were very busy with work. Although they had broken the window paper, they had little time to spend together. Sui Qi was busy with receptions these days and went around the counties and districts, so she did not stay back at the Yingbin Hotel.
Fang Zhicheng quickly explained, "Saoran has received too many calls, most of which are from real estate developers begging for mercy. I guess you are one of them, too?"
Sui Qi sighed and said, "Real estate is now a pillar industry in every place. After the national policy came out, real estate developers have been in a state of panic. Now that the Municipal Development and Reform Commission has tortured them again, most real estate developers feel the danger and are thinking of running away."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly. In fact, most real estate developers were just testing the waters. If they really wanted to escape, they probably wouldn't even say hello. Now they were using their respective government connections to test the waters. They wanted to know what Cao Yao's attitude was. Was he really prepared to respond to the country's call and tighten policies, or was it just a feint and a formality
