Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Finally, some accurate information

Today is a nice day, with the sun shining brightly. After having an authentic breakfast of their hometown flavours in the restaurant of the Beijing office, County Chief Zhao and his entourage, full of energy and hope, boarded the car provided by Youjia. Whether it will work or not will depend on today's meeting.

Cao Yunpeng, who was personally acting as the driver, was about to start the car when someone rushed out of the foyer. 'Wait for me,'

said Zhao, shaking down the window to take a look. It was still Liu Chuanwei, dressed in the same way as yesterday. After settling them in, the deputy director said he had something to do and disappeared without a trace. How did he suddenly appear now?

'Wait a minute,' he said to Cao Yunpeng. The secretary Xiaoyan (a typo in the original text, written as Xiaozhao) next to him opened the car door. County Magistrate Zhao smiled and said to the approaching Liu Chuanwei, "Director Liu, is there something the matter?'

'I'm sorry, County Magistrate Zhao, there aren't many businesses in our city that operate in the capital. I'd like to ask you to show me the way, if you don't mind," Liu Chuanwei said, holding the car door.

'That's great. With Director Liu, a local expert, leading the way, we can really save a lot of trouble. Yan, you go to the back and squeeze in,'

Liu Chuanwei was indifferent to the people from Jiasheng yesterday, but today he is so concerned. As soon as County Magistrate Zhao thought about it, he knew that he must have asked the people in the city about it yesterday. Since he has asked, he must know that Jiasheng is close to Mayor Fang. So what is he trying to do? Help the executive vice mayor cultivate relationships?

Thinking about Feng Yiping's relationship with Mayor Fang's family, he laughed, this plan is probably unrealistic.

Under the guidance of Liu Chuanwei, the business car slowly drove towards the second ring road. Along the way, they had already seen four Jiayi convenience stores.

'If I hadn't heard you mention it, I really wouldn't have known that the owner of this convenience store, which is visible on every street corner in the capital, is from our city,' Liu Chuanyi said to Mayor Zhao, 'and it's not just the capital. When we go out on errands, there are more and more Youjia branches opening every day in the surrounding provinces.'

'Yes, convenience stores are one of their main businesses. When I was in the province, I heard them say that the total number of branches this year will definitely reach 800. By then, the number of branches and the geographical coverage of their company will rank first in the domestic industry,' said County Magistrate Zhao.

'That's really not simple,' Liu Chuanwei praised.

'What's even more not simple is still to come. They already have a plan to open Youjia all over the world.'

'It's good to have such ambition,' said Liu Chuanwei, a little unimpressed by the idea of opening all over the world.

But the building is quite nice, better than their Beijing office. After redecoration, the appearance is quite eye-catching. In front of the small parking lot, there is a striking corporate sign, very exquisite, with a metallic texture. It seems to be more modern than the approach of the county government's cement platform with marble on the outside and gold lettering.

Jin Ling still gave some face to the meeting, as the manager of the operations department personally came to the lobby while waiting for the elevator with Zhao and his entourage.

Although he had never met her in person, as soon as Jin Ling came out, he saw the looks on the faces of the people around him. Coupled with the fact that he had seen her photo when he was at the provincial capital's Jiasheng headquarters, County Chief Zhao knew that this was the person he was meeting. He hurriedly went up to her and said, 'Hello, Ms Jin, I'm sorry to have come unannounced and to have disturbed you.'

'Hello, County Chief Zhao, I'm sorry, I only got back last night and I've been neglecting everyone. Yiping also couldn't find the time this morning, so he asked me to convey his apologies to you,' Jin Ling led them into the elevator.

'That's right, studying is important. We've heard that there's a lot going on at their school before and after the anniversary.' County Magistrate Zhao said with a smile.

'Hello, Mr Jin,' County Magistrate Zhao seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself, so Liu Chuanwei had to introduce himself, 'I'm Liu Chuanwei from the city's Beijing office. It's a pleasure to meet you! Our Beijing office doesn't have much ability, but over the years in the capital, I've got to know some leaders in various fields and have some connections. If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

Oh, yes, if you want to eat home-style food one day, give me a call, I'll make sure you're satisfied.'

Jin Ling took his business card and thanked him lightly. She had been to the Beijing provincial office twice, and she really had gone there to eat home-style food. The director there was quite familiar with her father.

Seeing that his goodwill had not received much response, Liu Chuanwei was a little unhappy, but after all, he was on someone else's turf, so he didn't show it on his face.

Out of courtesy, Jin Ling probably gave County Magistrate Zhao an introduction to the development of Jiasheng's business in the north. He heard that they were planning to build a fast hotel in the north in the second half of the year, and Liu Chuanwei couldn't help but interrupt, 'Build a hotel? The place where our Beijing Office is located is also going to be demolished and rebuilt into a hotel. I wonder if President Jin is interested?'

The Beijing Office has had this idea for a long time, but it has been unable to raise the funds over the years. Judging from Jiasheng, it seems that they really have some capital, unlike the lack of money. If I can solve such an important matter myself, it is estimated that the city's senior officials will remember me when the time comes.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao was a little unhappy. You said you were here to recognise the door, but now you are trying to steal the show?

'Oh, Uncle Sha from the provincial office in Beijing also had this idea,' Jin Ling said noncommittally. She knew very well that Feng Yiping would be 100% opposed to building a hotel with the Beijing office.

'Director Sha?' Liu Chuanwei froze for a moment, and County Magistrate Zhao whispered in his ear, 'President Jin's father is Director Jin from the Provincial Planning Commission,'

Liu Chuanwei then realised why County Magistrate Zhao had been so friendly from the start. Apart from being the God of Wealth, it turned out that this Mr Jin also had a father who held a high position in the province.

He only knew that this Jia Sheng was close to Mayor Fang, and he had originally planned to find an opportunity to speak on behalf of his boss. As soon as he heard about Jin Ling's identity, he immediately dismissed the idea. He then reviewed his behaviour after the meeting, and was relieved to find that there was nothing out of the ordinary.

'I'm sure you know why we're here, Mr Jin. These are the most favourable terms our county can offer,' County Magistrate Zhao handed Jin Ling the final proposal made by the Investment Promotion Bureau. 'Jia Sheng and our county have a good foundation, and we hope to continue to cooperate more deeply on this foundation.

As you know, silk is precisely our county's strength. On behalf of the more than 200,000 people in the county, I warmly welcome the Jiasheng Group to establish a silk base in our county.'

Jin Ling flipped through the proposal, 'It seems different from the one from two days ago?'

'Yes, we have made some adjustments to this one. The conditions are better than the one we gave to President Mei in the province,' said Cao Yunpeng.

'President Jin, you can see from this that our county is sincere!' said County Chief Zhao.

'You have been to the province, so you must also know that our decisions regarding investment take into account all kinds of factors, not just policies, land, taxes and fees,' said Jin Ling, putting the proposal aside. 'We also hope to continue to cooperate with the county. As County Chief Zhao said, after all, we have invested in several projects in the county. But to be honest, from an operational perspective, some aspects are really difficult to be satisfied with.

For example, the raw materials for our furniture factory are stopped and checked several times on the road, and once they enter the town, they are checked again. There are many problems like this,' Jin Ling glanced across the table, 'I won't list them one by one. In short, although they are all minor problems and trivial matters, when added up, they are all unpleasant experiences.'

'I need to reflect on this,' said Cao Yunpeng, a section-level cadre, who of course had to take the blame for his boss. 'County Chief Zhao has also criticised me repeatedly. Our investment promotion department used to only focus on attracting investment. After the investment is settled, we really didn't care enough. Please rest assured, Mr Jin, that in the future we will definitely change our mindset and escort the enterprise throughout the process,'

'In other areas, we have also made some changes, also from the perspective of better serving the enterprise. For the areas where Jiasheng has already invested, we have already adjusted some cadres. I believe that the next time General Manager Jin goes on an inspection, he will have a first-hand experience,'

what County Magistrate Zhao was talking about was of course promoting Huang Chengzhong to be in charge of industry. 'I also promise you that if you encounter similar difficult things again, please talk to me directly, and I promise to give the enterprise a satisfactory answer within one working day.'

This is still quite a hard-line statement, but Jin Ling nods, 'Although Yiping doesn't usually ask too many questions, I know that from a personal point of view, as long as the overall conditions are not worse than elsewhere, he would still prefer to invest in his hometown. Now that I know the conditions and sincerity of your county, I will propose to the company that we go to the county for a site visit as soon as possible. There will be professionals accompanying us, so it would be best if the county could plan several alternative silk bases. Is that okay?'

Finally, I got a definite answer. Isn't County Chief Zhao satisfied? 'No problem, we'll get started right away.'

'That's good. Yiping and I would like to invite the few of you who have come a long way for a casual dinner tonight. I hope you can come,' said Jin Ling, standing up.

'No problem, we'll definitely be there.'

After getting into the car, County Chief Zhao still looked at the small building a few more times, unwilling to let go. A project worth tens of millions of yuan was beckoning to him from the front.

Liu Chuanwei, who had not spoken, said, 'This Feng Yiping, right, has quite an air of superiority. He's still being so rude even though his own superior is here!'

County Magistrate Zhao heard this and laughed, ignoring him.
