Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 433: Finally taking it seriously

Afterwards, after wallowing in the red dust for more than 30 years, after being reborn, due to various practical needs, actively and passively, Feng Yiping learned a lot of things and read a lot of books—not magazines—and figured out a truth: doing business is actually a game, again and again, together and together.

Since it is a game, it must be rational.

He is now very willing subjectively to drive his hometown to prosperity while making money himself, but Huang Chengzhong's words have reminded him that having such a desire and having the ability to do so does not necessarily lead to that result.

If those people in the county are sure in their hearts that these investments of his will not go elsewhere, this is obviously not a good thing. The same goes for anything else: if it comes too easily, no one will cherish it too much, let alone value it.

If you don't pay attention, especially if the leaders don't take it seriously, then there will definitely be big problems.

What Feng Yiping wants is for the villagers to get rich, not for the leaders to get rich and get promoted. Although the villagers getting rich will have this effect objectively, the cause and effect relationship must be put in the right perspective.

'Dad, Uncle Huang, you sit down, I'm going to make a phone call,'

'Go ahead with your work, we don't need your company,' Feng Zhanchang waved his hand, as he and Huang Chengzhong now had a very lively chat.

The previous conversation can be considered as the two men having opened up to each other and let down their defences. Middle-aged men who have many shared memories have a lot to talk about.

In the kitchen, it seems that they are also coming to the end of their work. The two mothers are gathered around Huang Jingping, watching her squeeze corn juice. It seems that corn, which is rarely grown in their hometown, is quite popular with the two mothers.

Jin Ling answered Feng Yiping's phone and said, 'That's easy. Xu Bin just reported a suitable location for a branch in the province, and there is also a suitable location in your city, but not your county, it's Qingyang. Just tell him to speed things up. When the contract is signed, make a big deal out of it, and broadcast it on the local news.'

Qingyang is next to Zhang Yan's county, and Feng Yiping's county is next to that, so it's not far away. These leaders in the county may not yet be concerned about the top 100 counties in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong, but they definitely need to pay attention to these competing cities and counties in the city.

This is good. You want me to open a hotel, but I'm not doing it in your county, I'm doing it in your competitor's county with a big splash.

As she put down the phone, Huang Jingping came in with a glass of corn juice in her hand. 'The two mothers asked me to give you this big present,'

'What, are you jealous?'

'Not at all,' Huang Jingping shook her hand. Boy, she's not only wearing a ring, she's also wearing a bracelet, very rich and luxurious. 'I now have a title, look, this is my certificate.'

Well, that really counts.

While Huang Chengzhong was leisurely visiting famous attractions in the capital under the guise of a business trip, and before the relevant news was broadcast on the mainland TV station, County Magistrate Zhao had already received the news that Yijia had reached an agreement with Qingyang to invest 5 million to transform the old Qingyang Bus Company building and a nearby hotel into a new express hotel.

This was not a big problem. The problem was that, with this good start, Qingyang was doing its best to attract other investment projects from Jiasheng.

He immediately called Wang Ganqing's phone, 'Have you contacted Feng Zhenchang in the past two days? And Huang Chengzhong, has there been any progress on his side?'

'County head, I haven't been involved in this since then. It's all been handled by Lao Huang,' he said. Although he had no choice but to cooperate with the promotion of Huang Chengzhong, it was for the best. If these investments were really brought over, as the town mayor, he would get the credit. If they couldn't be brought over, the blame would not fall on him.

'But Lao Huang just went to the capital last week, saying he was going to find Feng Yiping and the president of Jiasheng,'

County Magistrate Zhao simply called Huang Chengzhong himself, 'Huang, I heard you're in the capital. How's the situation?'

'Not good,' Huang Chengzhong told the county magistrate while cooperating by making scissor hands and asking his daughter to take a picture of himself and his wife.

They were in Tsinghua University, and when the parents on both sides talked about places to go, apart from Tiananmen Square, the place they most wanted to see was this nationally renowned university where Feng Yiping studied.

'I was going to come back in the next couple of days and report to you,'

'What's the situation? Haven't you met Feng Yiping and Mr Jin?'

'We met them both. Yiping took me to meet Mr Jin and said to let us talk about the details, but what could I talk about? I could only ask about their progress,' Huang Chengzhong said.

'Did you find out?' County Magistrate Zhao also understood that Huang Chengzhong could not make any decisions and indeed could not discuss anything.

'There are quite a lot of situations. Not only are there people from our city and the subordinate counties, but also from several other major silk producing areas in the country. Many of them are led by county leaders themselves. The day before, even the vice mayor on the other side of the river came with people to find Director Jin. It is said that they are still under the banner of Director Jin's old subordinates. The conditions they have offered are getting better and better, and Jiasheng is evaluating them.'

After hanging up the phone, County Magistrate Zhao immediately called the investment promotion director. 'Have there been any recent developments regarding the projects on the Jiasheng side?'

'We sent someone to the provincial capital twice, met with their comprehensive assessment team once, and reported our conditions,' said the investment promotion director.

'What happened after that? Did you send someone to follow up? Did you approach their person in charge for public relations?'

'Someone is responsible for this, and they have been following up by phone. Their person in charge is in the capital, I heard.'

County Magistrate Zhao flew into a rage on hearing this. 'Is this your attitude towards work? With such an attitude, how much investment do you expect to attract? Find out immediately what terms other places have offered, and then make a detailed plan for me. If you can't do it, tell me,'

the investment promotion director dared not say a word at this point. 'Yes, I'll arrange it right away. No, I'll go and follow up personally.'

Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping strolled through the Tsinghua University campus, smiling as they watched the young university students passing by. They had been to the primary and secondary schools that Feng Yiping had attended, but this was the first time they had been on the university campus.

Although when they first arrived in the provincial capital they had ridden around the university town on the tricycle, they had never been inside a campus before. They had always looked in through the high walls, imagining their son would be able to study there one day. Now, that wish had been fulfilled.

'You can see that it's really different from primary and secondary school,' Feng Zhenchang said, looking at the campus, which had a better view than the average park.

'Yes, in those schools in the past, you could hear the sound of reading from a distance. Here, the students are much more at ease. Do you think there are some children who don't go to class all day long without a teacher watching them and their parents not around?' Mei Qiuping said, looking at the students who were reading with their backs to the sun on the grass, by the roadside, or in the stands of the sports ground.

Feng Zhenchang looked at Feng Yiping, who was looking at photos on his digital camera, and said, 'At least ours won't do that.'

In the county, once the leaders started paying attention, the actions below were quick and effective.

Once all the news from all sides had been gathered, although Jiasheng said it was still being evaluated, the leaders couldn't relax anymore when they saw the conditions offered by so many competitors, and they had a more advantageous geographical location than the county.

'Arrange it so that I can personally lead a delegation to the capital,' said County Chief Zhao.

When he asked Huang Chengzhong, who had already returned, for his opinion, Huang Chengzhong said, 'County head, I'm afraid it's not a good time right now,'

'Why?'

'They are busy preparing for the Canton Fair, and I'm afraid they won't be available if we go to the capital in the next two days.'

Yes, it was already mid-April, and the Canton Fair was about to begin.
