Fang Zhicheng returned to Hanzhou early the next morning, because today was the last day given to Fang Zhicheng by Xia Lanshan, the municipal party secretary. If he missed today, the contract between the Xiaguang District Government and Intime Group would not receive his support. Fang Zhicheng came to the Jinyun Teahouse next to the municipal party committee. Zhang Xiaoliang had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Fang Zhicheng coming, he smiled and said, "The people from Intime have come. They still attach great importance to this meeting. It's the executive president, named Jin Liye."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and took the materials from Zhang Xiaoliang. The materials contained Jin Peilang's personal identity information. He was Jin Feng's cousin and one of the core figures of the Jin family. It was unexpected for him to meet this person.

When he went up to the second floor private room, he saw a middle-aged man of medium build. Fang Zhicheng smiled and shook hands with him, then took the initiative to make a pot of tea for him. Judging from the details, Jin Liye should be an extremely cautious person. Because he had just seen that he brought bodyguards with him. It was just an ordinary business cooperation negotiation, but he actually sent out bodyguards to protect him. This fully demonstrated Jin Liye's caution.

Chapter 0585 Fang Zhicheng's trump card

Jin Liye and his elder brother Jin Anguo took two different paths, one in business and the other in politics. They seemed unrelated, but they jointly supported the Jin family's industry. In Huainan, the Jin family's influence was not that great, and not many people knew about it. But if you go to Liancheng in southern Henan, I'm afraid no one doesn't know about the Jin family. Whether it's politics or economy, the Jin family firmly controls the lifeline of southern Henan Province.

Fang Zhicheng was surprised but also took it for granted that he could make an appointment with Jin Liye. First of all, the Qiong-Han integration project in Huainan Province has attracted great attention nationwide, but enterprises in other provinces have been unable to access this project due to the monopoly of the Huainan enterprise alliance. Therefore, once the Yintai Group smelled the wind and grass and the opportunity to take advantage of it, it would not miss this opportunity. Now that the project has encountered waves, the Yintai Group naturally cannot sit still and directly arranged for heavyweights to come to negotiate.

Jin Liye looked Fang Zhicheng up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. Although he had already obtained Fang Zhicheng's personal information and political resume, Fang Zhicheng's youth still surprised him.

After Fang Zhicheng sat down, Jin Liye opened the conversation, smiling, "District Chief Fang, nice to meet you. Actually, I should have visited you earlier, but when we were discussing the cooperation on Site 17, you happened to be in the hospital, so I missed it. Are you feeling well?"

Jin Liye is extremely experienced in dealing with people and things. He can make people feel good about him with just one sentence. This is the temperament of a mature businessman.

Fang Zhicheng replied steadily, "I am almost well now. Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your concern. Although this is the first time we meet, I am very familiar with you and the Intime Group."

Jin Liye smiled faintly and said, "Since District Chief Fang knows Yintai Group, that's great. Our contract has been signed, and the investment project on Site 17 is expected to start within three months. I believe you won't be disappointed."

Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that Jin Liye was a shrewd and calculating person. He knew why he came here today, but he took the initiative to stop him from saying anything.

Aren't you trying to persuade me to give up Lot 17? Then I'll tell you straight away that I'll start construction soon.

Fang Zhicheng frowned slightly, realizing that Jin Liye was not an easy person to deal with. He was a master who had been in the business world for many years and had sufficient negotiation experience. Every word seemed to be understated, but every word contained deep meaning.

Taking the opportunity of serving tea, Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment. He originally wanted to tactfully ask to terminate the contract, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to achieve because Jin Liye did not give him any chance and blocked his words everywhere.

But if you say "terminate the contract" directly, the subsequent negotiations will become much more difficult. Whoever speaks first will die first!

The two talked about vague things for a while, mostly about Hanzhou's investment environment and future development plans. Jin Liye looked calm, but he felt a little pressure in his heart. Fang Zhicheng was not a pushover. He was not impatient, like a shrewd hunter, patiently spending time with him and never mentioned the termination of the contract. Jin Liye had to re-examine Fang Zhicheng and realized that this was a guy who looked young on the outside but was extremely experienced in his bones, and he must not be underestimated.

Jin Liye turned his wrist, glanced at his watch, and said with a smile: "Director Fang, it's a pleasure to chat with you. I believe that Yintai Group's investment in Xiaguang District will also be very smooth. I have something else to do. How about we stop here today and visit you another day?"

Since you, Fang Zhicheng, refuse to mention the termination of the contract, I can only stop playing with you. After all, the initiative is in my hands. Xiaguang District has already signed a contract with Intime Group, and it is clearly written in black and white.

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, asking Jin Liye to calm down, and said slowly: "Boss Jin, we just talked about some happy things, and now there are some unhappy things. Please squeeze out a little more time."

After saying this, he winked at Zhang Xiaoliang beside him, who quickly took out the document and placed it next to Jin Liye. Jin Liye frowned slightly, wondering what on earth Fang Zhicheng was up to.

After turning two pages of the document, Jin Liye's face turned gloomy, because he did not expect that Fang Zhicheng had collected so much negative information about Intime Group.

If this information were to be released, the share price of Intime Group would certainly experience a major shock. He had also heard about why Northern Zhonghe Group had launched the Qiong-Han integration project in Huainan with resentment. Could it be that Fang Zhicheng wanted to use this trick to threaten him

Seeing Jin Liye's face turn worse and finally no longer so calm, Zhang Xiaoliang was naturally the happiest. He was the busiest in the past two days. He not only arranged several subordinates, but also went deep into southern Henan to personally collect various information about Yintai Group. It looked like just a piece of material, but in fact, it took Zhang Xiaoliang a lot of energy and effort. This material became a powerful weapon against Yintai Group, which made Zhang Xiaoliang sigh that his hard work was not in vain.

Jin Liye frowned and said unhappily, "District Chief Fang, what is your intention in collecting so much false information? Are you trying to blackmail me?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Boss Jin, don't think too much. As a government, we need to investigate any investor, because this is the only way to ensure the safety of the investment project. But from the evidence collected in the early stage, Yintai Group has made many major mistakes in its investment projects. Although there is no concrete evidence in the materials, there is no smoke without fire. Yintai Group's ability to control the project is worrying. So we have to think carefully."

Jin Liye sneered, knowing that Fang Zhicheng had finally gotten to the point, and said disdainfully: "District Chief Fang, are you going to breach the contract? We have already signed a contract with the government!"

Fang Zhicheng sighed, showing an extremely regretful look, and spread his hands and said: "Boss Jin, the contract is dead, but people are alive. We can't hand over the project to an incompetent developer."

Jin Liye suddenly realized that he had been led by Fang Zhicheng since some time ago. Fang Zhicheng had guessed his emotional changes. If he did not calm down quickly, Fang Zhicheng would probably completely dominate the negotiations.

Jin Liye sighed, controlled his emotions, and said in a cold voice: "District Chief Fang, this is a society ruled by law. Although you are the government and we are a company, if you really want to breach the contract, we are not afraid to go to court. If you are confident in taking the risk, we might as well wait and see!"

Jin Liye showed his fangs, and his bite was extremely accurate. From beginning to end, he did not shy away from reminding Fang Zhicheng that we have already signed a contract. With the contract in hand, if you want to breach the contract, that's fine, just pay the penalty.

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Boss Jin, let's not talk about going to court for now. I have a confidential document here. After reading it, I'm afraid your attitude will change."

Jin Liye heard a hint of conspiracy in Fang Zhicheng's tone. In the business world, he has always been good at using tricks to trick his competitors. But this time he met his match. Fang Zhicheng was completely a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he was falling step by step into the trap that Fang Zhicheng had set in advance.

Jin Liye now had no other choice but to get Fang Zhicheng's second set of information. After reading the contents clearly, his expression changed even more exaggeratedly than before, and his eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Fang Zhicheng's expression looked calm, but he secretly sighed in his heart. After hearing the news, he was also shocked, let alone Jin Liye

Jin Liye could no longer sit still. He asked in a deep voice, "District Chief Fang, where did you get this news from? How many other people know about it?"

Fang Zhicheng lowered his voice and said, "No more than three people know this news." Even Zhang Xiaoliang beside him didn't know this news. This was actually Fang Zhicheng's ultimate trump card against the Intime Group. Even if Zhang Xiaoliang didn't find so much negative information about the Intime Group, just the material he handed over at the end was enough to shake Jin Liye.

Jin Liye carefully put the information into his bag, with a complicated expression on his face. After some hesitation, he finally decided to compromise. "Director Zhang, I hope that this information will not be disclosed to other people. As for the project on Site 17, Yintai Group has decided to withdraw unconditionally. As for the penalty for breach of contract, we will not ask for a penny."

Zhang Xiaoliang, who was sitting next to him, was surprised, because just a second ago, Jin Liye was shouting arrogantly that he would sue Fang Zhicheng in court, but the next moment he immediately became cowardly. Not only did he not want the penalty for breach of contract, but he also begged Fang Zhicheng to keep the secret.

Although the negative materials Zhang Xiaoliang had dug up on Yintai Group were very substantial, it was difficult for Yintai Group to make a decision in a short period of time. Now that this effect had been achieved, he naturally knew that it was the materials that Fang Zhicheng himself had produced that played a decisive role at the critical moment.

But, what is the reason that makes Jin Liye so fearful

Zhang Xiaoliang's face immediately became calm, and he looked calm. He knew that since Fang Zhicheng had not revealed the news to him, he could not ask. When too many people knew the secret, the effectiveness of the secret as a killer would also be weakened. So Fang Zhicheng would never make this secret public, and he should also be tactful and not touch the answer.

Zhang Xiaoliang originally thought that the negotiations with Intime Group would take a long time, but he did not expect that the outcome would be decided in an instant. Intime Group finally chose to compromise, and it was an unconditional compromise. Fang Zhicheng only took three days to solve this thorny problem and keep the No. 17 land that was sold at a low price without going through the formal approval process.

Fang Zhicheng is quite awesome! Zhang Xiaoliang secretly sighed.
