Cheng Hao asked in confusion: "Boss, you weren't even there, how come it looks like you saw it with your own eyes?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Who said I wasn't there? I was just hiding in a corner. How could I not be there in person for such an important auction?"
Cheng Hao was speechless. He had invited Fang Zhicheng several times yesterday, wanting him to come to the auction site, but Fang Zhicheng refused. He had never expected that Fang Zhicheng would still show up. However, an invitation letter was required to participate in the auction site, and he did not give him an invitation letter, so how did Fang Zhicheng get in
After hanging up Cheng Hao's phone, Fang Zhicheng sat in the passenger seat of the car and said with a smile: "Sister Ming, you didn't even enter such an important auction, but asked me to take your invitation. Doesn't this seem a bit inappropriate?"
Qin Yuming rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and smiled faintly, "I am determined to get this piece of land, so why should I go to see it on site? But you must be wondering how much money the media group will eventually pay for the land, right?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "It's really exciting to sit next to your assistant. I didn't expect that several other companies are so optimistic about that piece of land."
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "It's all because your China Merchants Group did a good job in public relations and publicity. We have all been brainwashed by you."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "It's too late to regret now. The auction is over. I have to accept the loss."
Qin Yuming sighed and said, "What are you regretting? I am supporting your work. Even if I don't make a penny, I will bite my teeth and take over this piece of land."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Qin Yuming was not just saying this casually, and he was still very moved. He sighed and said, "Sister Ming, it's only been a short time, and I didn't expect you to have become an outstanding businessman."
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "I am taking advantage of you. If it weren't for your guidance, how could I have thought of starting a media-related industry?"
Fang Zhicheng reached out and held Qin Yuming's hand, saying, "Sister Ming, believe me, once the film and television theme park is completed, it will be a major event that will affect Huainan and even the entire Chinese cultural tourism industry."
Qin Yuming nodded and smiled, "If I didn't trust you, how could I be so decisive? Let's go, isn't there a celebration party? By the way, if we show up together, will it have a bad impact?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled, "It's okay! Yuming won No. 17 without any crooked means, it's fair and square, why should I care about other people's opinions?"
Qin Yuming was still a little hesitant and said, "People's minds are unpredictable. If others knew about our relationship, how many would believe that there was no trickery involved?"
Seeing that Qin Yuming insisted, Fang Zhicheng finally got out of the car and did not go with Qin Yuming.
Fang Zhicheng called Guo Jinyuan and asked him to pick him up. He took the opportunity to smoke a cigarette and puffed away.
The matter of Site No. 17 has finally come to an end. There were some twists and turns, but it was eventually won by Yu Ming Media Group. It is expected that within three years, it will become the most distinctive film and television park in Huainan and even China, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, bringing in annual revenue of over 10 billion yuan.
Chapter 0624: The Officialdom with Too Many Rules
The celebration party was held in Jinfu Entertainment City. The predecessor of the entertainment city was the Xiaguang District Party Committee Guesthouse. Around 2000, the Xiaguang District Government sublet the land to a private person in the form of a contract. The boss's surname was Bao, and he was a very shrewd businessman. He cancelled all the original accommodation services and renovated the four floors into a leisure and entertainment city. In addition to the dining area, it also provides fitness, KTV, bathing and other entertainment services.
The entertainment city pays a considerable amount of rent to the Xiaguang District Committee every year, so some large-scale banquets are held here. The entertainment city also provides discounted prices to the government and does not take too much advantage of the government. Over the years, the entertainment city has had a good relationship with the district committee.
After Fang Zhicheng got off the car, Chen Chao hurried over. Chen Chao is now the director of the district party committee office. He is in charge of coordinating the banquet. He led Fang Zhicheng to the door and introduced him to him: "Secretary Fang, this is Mr. Bao from the entertainment city."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and shook hands with Boss Bao, saying, "Boss Bao, thank you for troubling you today."
In fact, Fang Zhicheng and Mr. Bao had met several times. The last time they met, Fang Zhicheng was still the district chief. Mr. Bao thought that he was not enthusiastic enough towards Fang Zhicheng at that time, so when they met, he had to make up for the previous courtesy. Mr. Bao nodded quickly and said modestly: "Secretary Fang, please rest assured. I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the district committee and guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said jokingly, "It's useless to satisfy only me. We have to satisfy everyone."
Boss Bao nodded quickly and promised, "Yes, yes, yes!" But in his heart, he was thinking, this young district party secretary is quite arrogant. Is this hinting that he should use the back door to give him some benefits
Chen Chao led Fang Zhicheng half a step ahead and came to the hall, where there were about ten tables. Then Chen Chao took Fang Zhicheng to the private room, where the guests of honor sat. Chen Chao was thoughtful. Ordinary staff sat in the hall outside, and the main leaders and merchants were arranged in the private room. There were two large tables in the private room, with space for thirteen people, and the corresponding seats were already placed.
Fang Zhicheng went over and changed a few seat cards, then told Chen Chao to confirm whether a few leaders would come, and then went downstairs to greet the guests at the door. After waiting for about ten minutes, people arrived one after another, some of whom were staff from relevant departments involved in the bidding for Land No. 17 and surrounding plots, and some were leaders of municipal departments.
Although the buyer has been confirmed, the subsequent construction of the film and television park still needs the green light from some competent departments in the city, so this is a celebration party as well as a relationship-building meeting.
Under normal circumstances, the celebration party should be hosted by the enterprise, but Fang Zhicheng transferred this responsibility to the government, which can be regarded as an indirect service to the settled enterprises.
The banquet was originally scheduled to start at 6:30, Xia Lanshan entered the venue at around 6:45, Fang Zhicheng accompanied him to the main table, and the banquet officially began. Xia Lanshan rarely attends public banquets now, and even if he does, it is just a formality. However, at today's banquet, Xia Lanshan was very respectful and even drank some red wine.
The banquet lasted until about 7:30. Xia Lanshan whispered a few words to Fang Zhicheng, then stood up and prepared to leave. Fang Zhicheng accompanied Xia Lanshan all the way to the entertainment city. Before getting in the car, although Xia Lanshan drank some red wine and his face was slightly red, he still spoke as clearly as ever.
Xia Lanshan smiled and praised: "Zhicheng, you have done a good job in Xiaguang. I hope that if there are such occasions in the future, you must invite me to attend. Before, Yintai Group only offered more than 10 million to buy Lot 17, and now you have sold it for ten times the price, which is really amazing."
If the No. 17 plot was sold alone, the price would be at most 50 million, and the price of the remaining plots would not exceed 20 million. However, now that it has been sold in a package, it has been sold for 150 million, which is completely beyond everyone's expectations. This is why Xia Lanshan attended the dinner today.
Xia Lanshan continued, "Originally, including me, we were not optimistic about Xiaguang's auction."
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and said, "Packaging Lot 17 with other lots is indeed a risky decision, but the real estate atmosphere across the country is very good now. If you have confidence in Hanzhou, you will definitely bid at a premium."
Xia Lanshan nodded, patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder, and sighed: "The government lacks cadres like you now. Some cadres cannot be as calm as you when dealing with similar problems. They always think that as long as the land is sold, it will be fine, and they never care about the cost and profit. If the land is sold at a low price, it is actually a disguised sale of state-owned assets at a low price. This phenomenon must be stopped."
Xia Lanshan did not specify, but he was actually talking about Deng Shaoqun and Ma Zhencai, who were the two who were brought to justice because of their secret collusion with investors.
Fang Zhicheng said: "In fact, this can be controlled through systems and processes. The stricter the system, the lower the risk will be!"
Xia Lanshan shook his head and sighed, "But if there are too many systems and the process is too complicated, it will lead to low efficiency. The system is a double-edged sword and must be used flexibly."
Watching Xia Lanshan get into the car and leave, Fang Zhicheng stood in the distance and paused for a moment, suddenly understanding Xia Lanshan. The outside world commented that Xia Lanshan was the most conservative municipal party secretary in the province, but from another perspective, he should be cautious in his position, because a decision might affect the lives of countless people.
Xia Lanshan is a very smart leader. He fully understands the consequences of every decision, which is why he acts so cautiously.
Fang Zhicheng was thinking that he was sometimes a little too radical in doing things. To put it nicely, he was passionate, but to put it bluntly, he was not steady enough. In his future work, he would have to adjust his working methods in a timely manner.
Everyone has shortcomings. Fang Zhicheng has only been in the officialdom for five years, and he still has a lot of room for improvement. He may not be the best in officialdom wisdom, but he still lacks the ability to handle things. He is far less experienced than Xia Lanshan, an old man who has experienced ups and downs for decades.
Back at the banquet, everyone had finished three rounds of drinks, and it was very lively. A few red-faced city bureau officials saw Fang Zhicheng and pulled him to drink. Fang Zhicheng knew the effect of alcohol, and these people were afraid that they had no sense of reason, so he responded: "I'll go get the wine glasses and come out to toast everyone later."
