What happened to Fang Qingfei and Meng Qiping was just a small interlude, so Li Dong did not pay too much attention to it.
Currently, the distribution center and the Far Away Building were Li Dong's main focus.
Far Away Building was fine, as the land had already been acquired, so it was not a big deal to delay the construction of the building.
However, the distribution center could not be delayed any longer. Far Away already had close to 70 stores in operation and under construction.
By next year, this number might increase again by a large margin.
From choosing a location to putting it into use, it would take a long time. Far Away could not afford to wait any longer.
Far Away did not have a unique logistics system, which was a huge threat and also a limitation.
At the end of October, Li Dong met with the Southern Suburbs government.
Since it involved a 200 million investment, the Southern Suburbs government was also very concerned. The district mayor, Meng Tingzhu, personally met with Li Dong.
During the first meeting, Li Dong returned disappointed.
Although the Southern Suburbs government had given many preferential policies, it obviously did not meet Li Dong's requirements.
Especially in the area of land, the Southern Suburbs government's policies were even worse than Yaohai's.
The next day, Far Away started negotiations with Yaohai's.
This made the Southern Suburbs government anxious. In less than a week, the Southern Suburbs government had another round of negotiations with Far Away.
This time, the Southern Suburbs government was no longer led by Meng Tingzhu, but by Pingchuan's Deputy Mayor, Zhang Yunlong.
For the Pingchuan government, no matter which district Far Away invested in, it would be a political achievement for Pingchuan.
However, this did not mean that the city leaders had no inclination. The Southern Suburbs economy was not as developed as Yaohai, and it had been dragging the city government down for years.
If Far Away could build the distribution center in the Southern Suburbs, it was very likely that the Southern Suburbs economy would be revitalized.
Zhang Yunlong was in his fifties this year. He had a very refined temperament, similar to Yaohai's Hu Sicheng.
Li Dong was no stranger to Zhang Yunlong. When Far Away donated, Zhang Yunlong was the one who hosted the donation ceremonies.
Of course, Zhang Yunlong had another identity that Li Dong paid more attention to. He was Zhang Qing's father.
Li Dong and Zhang Qing did not have a good relationship, and he maintained an attitude that was neither close nor distant to Zhang Yunlong.
However, this was a business meeting. Far Away was a major investor, so Li Dong was not afraid that Zhang Yunlong was targeting him.
In the meeting, Zhang Yunlong did not target Li Dong.
During the meeting, Zhang Yunlong did not target Li Dong.
There was a huge difference between the two sides, and the biggest difference was the nature of the land.
According to the Pingchuan municipal government and the Nanjiao municipal government, the land chosen by the Faraway Distribution Center did not meet the standards for industrial land. It should be considered commercial land.
Far Li Dong, Chang, and, and Yunlong Li, Jiang. and Qing, Chang Away, Hao, and Li, but Li Li not. Li Dong Dong was.
According to the calculation of commercial land, the piece of land that Li Dong chose covered an area of 100,000 square meters, which was equivalent to 150 mu.
. Based on the current market price, Li Dong would need nearly 200 million to buy the land.
Li Dong would have to be crazy to agree.
And if it was calculated according to industrial land, that piece of land wouldn't even be worth 50 million.
The difference was more than 100 million. A 100 million in 2005 was more valuable than a few hundred million ten years later.
Li Dong insisted that the land should be used for industrial purposes, but the Southern Suburbs would not agree.
It was not that they did not want Li Dong's investment, and they were not trying to make things difficult for Li Dong. However, the land Li Dong had chosen was considered a prosperous area in Nanjiao.
There was also a provincial highway passing through the area. The value of this land was incomparable to industrial land.
Nanjiao's government even suggested Far Away to change to a more remote land. It would not be difficult to convert it into industrial land, and the government would help.
However, Li Dong had his eyes on this piece of land because of its convenient transportation. Li Dong would definitely not agree to change to a piece of land in a remote area.
Therefore, the situation was in a stalemate.
At the same time, the negotiations in Yaohai District had also stopped.
It was not that Li Dong did not want to negotiate, but the government did not want internal strife. Far Away would benefit from it.
…
Global Building.
Li Dong's office.
Li Dong frowned. "We can't drag this on in Pingchuan. If we can't do it, we can go to Nanhu. Nanhu is the geographical center of Jiangbei."
Wang Yue thought for a while and said, "General Manager Li, if Far Away is satisfied with the Jiangbei market, Nanhu is also a good choice. But if Far Away is planning to go overseas, Pingchuan is the best choice. Pingchuan is the hub of Hua Dong's three provinces. Only in Pingchuan can the distribution center be maximized. "
Sun Tao agreed. "Also, Nanhu relies on water transportation. Road transportation is not as good as Pingchuan."
"I understand what you are saying, but there is no point in continuing this stalemate. I am definitely not willing to change the location. If Pingchuan does not relent, we can start negotiations with Nanhu. This will put some pressure on Pingchuan. "
Sun Tao thought for a while and said, "That's possible."
"But what if Pingchuan still insists?" Wang Yue asked.
Li Dong was a little annoyed and said, "The distribution center is industrial land. This is obviously Pingchuan's government trying to make things difficult for us. If they make me angry, I will withdraw all my investments!"
Wang Yue and Sun Tao knew these were words said in a fit of anger and did not take it seriously.
Even if the government was deliberately making things difficult for them, they could not withdraw their investments just because they wanted to.
There were still more than 30 stores in Pingchuan that were about to be completed. If they withdrew their investments now, the losses would not be small. Far Away would have to go through a lot of trouble.
The few of them were thinking of a solution. Li Dong hesitated for a while and said, "What about Shen Qian?"
Sun Tao understood what Li Dong meant, but he still shook his head and said, "We still have to discuss this among ourselves. This is the decision of the entire government, not an individual."
With Shen Qian's background, if she were to negotiate with an individual, there might even be people willing to give it away for free, not to mention a transfer of business.
But now the entire Pingchuan government was watching. It would be useless even if Shen Qian made a move, unless her father made a move.
Li Dong took a deep breath and said, "Then let's continue dragging this out. I don't believe I'm the only one who is anxious. Isn't the Southern Suburbs tempted by a 200 million investment?"
At this point in the negotiations, it all depended on who could not take it anymore.
If Li Dong's side showed signs of fatigue, then Pingchuan's side would definitely not give up easily.
After all, this was more than 100 million in land investment. This money belonged to the government. The government would not give up easily.
But if this dragged on, Pingchuan's side would not be able to take it anymore. After all, Pingchuan's government did not know the development strategy for Far Away.
In their eyes, Li Dong still had other options. For example, Nanhu.
If the distribution center was built at Nanhu, it would be able to satisfy the logistics needs of the entire Jiangbei.
When that time came, the government would most likely relent. After all, the money for the land was not their personal money.
But the political achievements were real. The reason why they were so insistent now was also related to the attitude of Far Away.
Who asked Li Dong to be so anxious earlier on? This gave the government an opportunity.
Otherwise, this negotiation might not have failed.
