There were many similar complaints in the mailbox of the municipal party secretary. For this reason, Song Wendi called Fang Zhicheng many times to understand the specific situation. After all, the Huijin Commercial Plaza project has phase two and phase three projects. If the phase one project cannot be done well, wouldn’t it make subsequent work impossible to carry out
Fang Zhicheng also had a detailed discussion with Qi Yu about this. The Qi Group is now in a stage of internal and external troubles because its mainland strategy has encountered obstacles and it has encountered many difficulties in the board of directors. Some shareholders even proposed to withdraw all investments in the mainland and focus on the Southeast Asian market.
Fang Zhicheng gave Qi Yu a suggestion to reduce the risk of attracting investment. Half of the Huijin Commercial Plaza was handed over to the county government for coordination and leasing, while the other half was handed over to Qi's Group for self-occupation and investment. After the county government helped Qi's Group find suitable merchants, it paid Qi's Group a certain amount of rent. In this way, the risk could be reduced to a minimum.
At the same time, Fang Zhicheng also suggested adjustments in the planning of Huijin Commercial Plaza. On the one hand, we should focus on the high-end of the commercial plaza and strictly require the number of international brands to settle in. On the other hand, we should also pay attention to the future survival rate of the commercial plaza and introduce well-known domestic brands with high cost performance.
The plan attracted the attention of the Qi Group's board of directors. After many discussions, they agreed to hand over half of the Huijin Commercial Plaza to the county government for coordination and investment promotion. In fact, the work done by the county government is more of an intermediary service, handing the site over to other commercial real estate companies with investment promotion capabilities.
In addition to asking Luo Hui to use his personal connections to find suitable merchants, Fang Zhicheng also contacted Zhao Qingya. When Fang Zhicheng explained his intention, Zhao Qingya also showed great interest. After all, Hongda Group is the leader in commercial real estate in the entire Huainan Province. Zhao Qingya has great confidence in Dongtai both publicly and privately.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said to Qi Yu: "Mr. Qi, the first phase of Huijin Commercial Plaza will be officially launched in October. There are less than three months left, so I hope you can speed up the progress and let the shops move into the first phase as soon as possible and start the decoration work."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will come to Dongtai in a few days and personally take charge of the progress of the project. At the same time, the group has also decided to do a good job in the commercial plaza project in Dongtai at all costs, and use this as an opportunity to restore its original bad image."
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and suggested: "Boss Qi, how about we make a bet?"
Qi Yu was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "What bet?"
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Now Huijin Commercial Plaza is divided into two areas. Let's make the first bet to see who can recruit all the shops first and put the shops into formal operation in the shortest time."
Qi Yu saw Fang Zhicheng's ulterior motives and said with a smile, "Are you trying to provoke me?"
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Qi Yu was not easy to fool. He actually hoped to use a bet to stimulate Qi Yu and make her devote more attention and energy to the investment promotion work of Huijin Plaza. "Don't you dare to accept the challenge?"
Qi Yu revealed a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth and said, "Since it's a bet, there must be a stake..."
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and said, "You decide the bet..."
Qi Yu frowned, pondered for a long time, and said: "The losing party must be willing to be the other party's servant and agree to and meet any request of the other party."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that the bet proposed by Qi Yu was really childish. He just wanted to stimulate the girl. As for what to bet on and who won, he didn't care about the final result. Anyway, at most he would regret it. He said, "Okay, Mr. Qi, you must remember your bet. You are not allowed to regret it."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. Don't cry if you lose."
In Qi Yu's opinion, she is now more confident. The Qi Group has been engaged in department store business for many years and has therefore accumulated a large number of excellent relationships with international brands. The Dongtai County Government is completely in the dark. Even if it can find a suitable enterprise to take over the investment promotion, it is far less experienced than the Qi Group.
"Humph, you big talker!" Qi Yu smiled, "Then wait and see how I'll deal with you."
Qi's Group's Huijin Commercial Plaza is Fang Zhicheng's first project after entering Dongtai and successfully attracting investment. Now many people are looking at this project, so this also puts Fang Zhicheng under a lot of pressure. Attracting investment and bringing enterprises into the local area is the first link. More importantly, whether the attracted enterprises can integrate into the local development is more critical. Therefore, when Fang Zhicheng was solving the problem of attracting investment for Huijin Commercial Plaza, he did not go all the way. He did not trust Qi's Group to recruit all the shops, so he proposed to give half of it to the county government. At the same time, he was also worried that the strength of Hongda Group alone could not find enough brand stores to settle in a short time, so he also asked Luo Hui to help.
Fang Zhicheng has good intentions!
Chapter 0372 A sudden thought
The summer in Dongtai is extremely hot. There is a small lake called Moon Lake near the western suburbs. Several people die from swimming in the wild every season, but water has a unique appeal to people. Every evening, many swimming enthusiasts gather there, including many young and beautiful women, forming a beautiful landscape.
On Saturday morning, Ye Qingrou came from Yinzhou to Dongtai to find Fang Zhicheng. She didn't know how she knew there was a place called Moon Lake in Dongtai, so she pestered Fang Zhicheng to go swimming in the wild at Moon Lake. Fang Zhicheng couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to Ye Qingrou's request. Of course, there was another reason. Fang Zhicheng likes swimming very much. He joined the swimming team in college. Now he is working and rarely goes swimming because of time constraints, but he still misses the feeling of freedom in the water.
Around 4:30, the scorching sun gradually lost its poisonous effect, and more and more people came to the river bank. In order to swim, Fang Zhicheng borrowed a black Santana from his colleagues. Fang Zhicheng got out of the car first after changing clothes and did some warm-up exercises, while Ye Qingrou changed into a swimsuit in the car before getting out.
Fang Zhicheng felt all the muscles in his body relax, and he slowly waded into the river. The cool feeling of the river water made Fang Zhicheng so comfortable that he couldn't help but gasp for a few breaths. He came to his senses, looked at Ye Qingrou in the afterglow of the setting sun, and couldn't help but close his eyes.
Ye Qingrou tied her black hair into a bun and tied it casually on top of her head, which made her fair face like a beautiful jade look more youthful. If one word is used to describe Ye Qingrou at this moment, it should be "beautiful", with slender lines, shiny skin, and a vibrant figure. Fang Zhicheng stared at her for a long time.
Ye Qingrou seemed to sense Fang Zhicheng's ill intentions, clenched her fists, and warned in a low voice: "If you look at me like a pervert again, I'll beat you up!"
Fang Zhicheng came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "By the way, can you swim now?"
Ye Qingrou hummed and said, "Of course, I joined the school swimming team and am now the main force in the women's group!"
Fang Zhicheng almost believed it, but when he saw Ye Qingrou didn't do any warm-up exercises, she went into the water timidly. He couldn't help but laugh, walked over and stretched out his hand to catch Ye Qingrou. The ground was all natural mud and sand, which was soft to step on. Ye Qingrou was a little uncomfortable and suddenly one of her feet got stuck. She was a little flustered. Fang Zhicheng quickly exerted some strength on his hands, and Ye Qingrou was pulled out like pulling a carrot, but she lost her center of gravity and leaned on Fang Zhicheng.
Although Fang Zhicheng is an expert in swimming, he is not as good in the river as on the shore. Ye Qingrou pounced on him and he was submerged in the water. He subconsciously held his breath and stared at Ye Qingrou with wide eyes in the water. This little girl drank several mouthfuls of water in just three or two seconds. She was able to join the swimming team with such a little trick. It was really hilarious.
Fang Zhicheng stretched out his hand and gently supported Ye Qingrou's soft waist, then he pushed upward along her flat belly with a little force, and Ye Qingrou's face floated to the surface of the water, with a panic-stricken expression still on her face.
"Do swimming experts also drink water?" Fang Zhicheng asked with a playful smile.
Ye Qingrou's face felt hot, and she snorted softly, refusing to admit defeat and said, "I have only practiced in a swimming pool before, and have never tried swimming in a natural lake. What happened just now was an accident, please forget it!"
After saying that, Ye Qingrou slowly dived into the water. Her two jade arms were like oars, gently gliding through the water waves, and she swam away like a mermaid. However, her mind was full of thoughts. Just now, Fang Zhicheng supported her lower abdomen under the water. For some reason, she came from there with a fiery feeling, as if it had broken a knot in the deep, and a warm and numb feeling spread out.
Fang Zhicheng stared at Ye Qingrou's back, lost in thought for a moment, and said with emotion, "Ye Qingrou, this girl has grown up."
In Fang Zhicheng's impression, Ye Qingrou has always been a willful and capricious little girl for some reason. Looking back on more than a year ago, the two were even mortal enemies. Now, Ye Qingrou is like his own sister, and Fang Zhicheng is willing to do many things for her.
Ye Qingrou swam lightly in the lake, and Fang Zhicheng followed nearby. The sun shone on the sparkling lake, as if they had come to another world...
As for Ye Qingrou, she was surprised. Although it was her first time swimming in such a natural lake, she swam very easily and felt very safe, perhaps because Fang Zhicheng was by her side. This also aroused her inner curiosity, and she swam further and deeper...
The water was becoming brighter and brighter, and other swimmers were almost invisible nearby. Fang Zhicheng reminded them, "We can go back now. The water inside is probably getting deeper and deeper."
Ye Qingrou's pretty face appeared two or three meters away. She snorted and said, "Coward!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled, afraid that Ye Qingrou would go deeper, so he dived and appeared next to Ye Qingrou. He gently hooked his hand, and Ye Qingrou was easily controlled. Then Ye Qingrou felt like an uncontrollable duckweed, and under Fang Zhicheng's guidance, she swam back to the river bank.
"Ah... why are you biting me..." Fang Zhicheng used one arm to support Ye Qingrou's chin to prevent her face from being under the water and suffocating her breathing, but he did not expect Ye Qingrou to lower her head and bite Fang Zhicheng's arm.
