"Oh?" Ning Xiangcao felt a little disappointed for some reason, perhaps because Fang Zhicheng came to Yunhai but didn't tell her.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know the ripples in Ning Xiangcao's mood, and whispered: "Xia Mang is coming to Dongtai to invest in a golf course..."
Ning Xiangcao frowned and whispered, "He took the initiative to show his friendship to you?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled: "Yes, he helped me solve a small problem yesterday."
Ning Xiangcao sighed and said, "Xia Mang is a man who can bend and stretch. Recently, Jiang Wenlan was cleaning up the corruption in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and found that his father was involved. Xia Mang hopes to use you to persuade me and then influence Mr. Wenlan."
"I don't think it's that simple." Fang Zhicheng analyzed, "Father Xia's downfall is inevitable. Xia Mang is racing against time to get something for himself before Father Xia's downfall. If he invests in a golf course in Dongtai, even if some black money is involved, because it is a project introduced by me, Mr. Wen Lan and you will take the reasons into consideration and show him some mercy."
Ning Xiangcao's eyes lit up, and she smiled and praised: "You have thought it through thoroughly. What do you think we should do?"
"Of course we'll take advantage of the situation!" Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said decisively.
As the saying goes, if you take someone's tricks, you will be grateful to him. He did not take the four princesses that Xia Mang gave him, so he did not owe Xia Mang anything. In response to Xia Mang's show of kindness, he used some tricks to use her strength to fight back, luring her into the trap, and not beating her when she was down, which was already considered merciful.
Chapter 0333: The treacherous business war
Around 30 o'clock on Thursday, three black business cars stopped outside the government compound. The silver electric door slowly opened and the cars drove straight into the compound. People who had been waiting for a long time had already stood in the parking space. Fang Zhicheng stood in the front. Li Hui stood on his left and whispered something in Fang Zhicheng's ear. Fang Zhicheng nodded seriously, said a few more words, then stood up straight and waited for the car to stop.
Six people walked out of the car, and the leader was Xia Mang. He walked up quickly with a smile on his face, shook hands gently with Fang Zhicheng, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Fang, long time no see."
Fang Zhicheng smiled modestly and said, "Boss Xia, thank you for coming and bringing glory to Dongtai."
Xia Mang then introduced the other five people, two of whom were named Fan Xuejun and Liu Rongrong, who were Xia Mang's partners in building a golf course in Dongtai. Fan Xuejun was in his thirties, only 1.6 meters tall, but with a strong body and broad shoulders. He must have trained regularly in the gym to develop a good body shape, while Liu Rongrong was tall, with delicate eyes and eyebrows. Her eyebrows were very distinctive, thin and deep, which made people very impressed.
The other three were assistants or secretaries of Xia Mang, Fan Xuejun and Liu Rongrong. Fang Zhicheng shook hands with them one by one, said some polite words, and introduced several people from China Merchants Group to them. After a brief greeting, Fang Zhicheng led the six people to the meeting room on the third floor of China Merchants Group. Fang Zhicheng classified this inspection as part of the business scope of China Merchants Group, so he would host them mainly with China Merchants Group.
After entering the conference room and everyone was seated, Li Hui presided over the meeting. She said in a clear voice: "First of all, on behalf of Dongtai County, I welcome Mr. Xia, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Liu from Hengyi Golf, Dihao Business Club, and Jinbing Leisure. Secondly, I will give a brief introduction to Dongtai to help everyone understand the current business situation in our county. In the past two years, the Dongtai government has mainly expanded its business structure around the two major areas of modern service industry and technological innovation, and has made great breakthroughs. At the same time, Dongtai successfully applied for a bonded area last year, laying a solid foundation for attracting foreign investment and import and export business. Therefore, it is an absolutely correct choice for everyone to come to Dongtai to invest. Finally, I will introduce to you the unique conditions for investing in golf courses in Dongtai County."
"Dongtai has a good location advantage. It is connected to Yunhai in the east and Huainan in the west. It is an important part of the Yunhai urban circle. As the back garden of Yunhai and Huainan, it has the conditions to attract high-level consumers to come here for leisure and entertainment. Secondly, Dongtai's investment data has been rising steadily in the past two years. In the future, Dongtai's investment in billion-level enterprises is expected to exceed 100. A large number of high-quality people will gather here to work, live and settle down, which provides a good population base for the construction of golf courses. Finally, and most importantly, the Dongtai government urgently needs high-level projects such as golf courses to settle down. We will provide you with good policy support to support, encourage and help golf courses to settle down in Dongtai..."
After Li Hui finished her speech, everyone applauded. Xia Mang, as the representative of the investor, smiled and praised: "To be honest, as early as three months ago, I didn't know there was such a place as Dongtai. The reason why I know Dongtai is because I know County Magistrate Fang. In fact, we don't need too many reasons to invest in Dongtai. We are willing to invest because we have a familiar and trustworthy person who makes us feel safe."
Xia Mang's words were a bit vulgar, but he expressed his attitude very directly, saying that he came to Dongtai to invest because of Fang Zhicheng, which undoubtedly gave Fang Zhicheng enough face.
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Boss Xia, this is very heartwarming. Just because of your trust in me, I will fully support the construction of the golf course and open up green channels for you in all aspects."
Fan Xuejun coughed and said in a clear voice: "Mr. Xia has done a lot of work for us before. Since he is the largest shareholder, we naturally follow his lead. However, there are a few questions that we still need to ask clearly, such as what preferential policies does Dongtai give us in terms of land?"
Fang Zhicheng stared at Fan Xuejun. His eyes seemed erratic, but occasionally they would flash with brilliance. This kind of person is not easy to deal with. He is a man with deep thoughts and careful thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "Dongtai has established a special land policy for attracting investment. According to different investment amounts, corresponding policy support will be given. Director Li, please send our investment policy to several distinguished guests."
Xia Mang, Fan Xuejun, Liu Rongrong and the other six people soon had a brochure in their hands. The brochure was printed on coated paper and had eight pages, two of which were dedicated to introducing the investment policy.
After Fang Zhicheng and the others finished reading, he smiled and introduced: "To show my sincerity, I am willing to raise the policy to a higher level. If you invest 100 million yuan, you can enjoy the 300 million yuan policy. How about that?"
Liu Rongrong raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "County Magistrate Fang, could this be your strategy for attracting investment in Dongtai? Just like selling goods, there are two price lists, one for negotiation and the other for actual implementation?"
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Liu Rongrong's words were sharp, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, this is not appropriate. The government is a public sector. If you do that, you can certainly benefit temporarily, but in the long run, how many companies are willing to invest in Dongtai?"
"As far as I know, many governments deceive investors in this way." Liu Rongrong smiled faintly, obviously still not believing Fang Zhicheng.
Li Hui saw that Liu Rongrong was difficult to deal with, so she quickly supported Fang Zhicheng and said, "Boss Liu, there are many companies investing in Dongtai. You can arrange for someone to investigate. If this phenomenon also exists in Dongtai, then I am willing to resign as the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau."
Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was a little off, Xia Mang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Director Li, don't worry. We trust County Magistrate Fang and came to Dongtai to invest. Rongrong just expressed a suspicion, not that she suspected that Dongtai had any tricks in its investment policy."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Xia Mang was a smart man. He must have already informed Fan Xuejun and Liu Rongrong before coming here, in order to make things difficult for the Dongtai government. Although it was decided to invest in a golf course in Dongtai, the decision could not be made lightly. This was a negotiation skill, and he had to leave room for himself.
After chatting for more than an hour, they could not come to a conclusion. It was time for lunch, so Fang Zhicheng arranged for everyone to have lunch. During the dinner, Xia Mang toasted Fang Zhicheng many times, acting as if she was very familiar with him.
Fang Zhicheng knew that Xia Mang's real intention was not to drink, so he just pretended to be nice to him.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui sent the group of people away.
Li Hui asked in confusion: "County Magistrate Fang, I have met many entrepreneurs who want to invest in Dongtai, but why do I always feel that this wave is weird?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Because their goals are different from those of other entrepreneurs..."
"What's the difference?" Li Hui asked doubtfully.
"Most entrepreneurs hope to settle in Dongtai and use Dongtai's potential to create more wealth for them. But this group of people came to Dongtai not because of Dongtai's potential, but because they hope that I can lend them a helping hand." Fang Zhicheng sighed and explained slowly.
Li Hui still didn't understand the subtleties, but she knew she shouldn't continue to ask, so she whispered, "So, should we take the golf course project or not?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "Of course! If the golf course can be built, it will be a decisive factor in improving the level of Dongtai's leisure service industry, so we must discuss this project. As for how to discuss it, I know it in my mind. You just need to provide good logistical support."
In the business plan of Dongtai Merchants Bureau, there is such a project to build a golf course that can host international competitions. The arrival of Xia Mang and his party undoubtedly provides good conditions for enriching the business plan. So Fang Zhicheng can't give up this fat piece of meat that is delivered to his mouth.
However, the complexity now lies in the fact that Xia Mang is not investing for the sake of investing. He is planning to come to Dongtai to invest in a golf course in order to borrow Fang Zhicheng's hand to save his family from difficulties. It is so difficult because of his impure motives.
First of all, Fang Zhicheng would never lend a helping hand to Xia Mang easily. The problem of the Xia family involves Mr. Jiang Wenlan's reorganization of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. If he intervenes in this matter, there will be great risks. He does not need to affect Jiang Wenlan's layout for the sake of a former enemy. Secondly, Fang Zhicheng will not give up the golf course project easily. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and can play a decisive role in enriching business planning.
Due to the above two reasons, Fang Zhicheng had to come up with a win-win solution...
Two days later, Xia Mang received good news. After Ning Xiangcao learned that Hengyi Company was planning to invest in a golf course in Dongtai, she planned to make Huaying Investment Group one of the shareholders.
If Huaying Investment Group is willing to join this project, it will be good news for the Xia family. Huaying Investment Group has reached a strategic cooperation with Jiang Wenlan because of the Golden Street project, and the two families have a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss. If the Xia family also becomes a partner with Huaying Investment Group, the relationship with Jiang Wenlan will also be eased.
