Villa No.7.
Li Dong knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
After dawdling at the door for a while, Li Dong looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he shouted into the door, "Shen Qian, open the door. I have something to talk to you about."
There was no sound from inside the door, but Li Dong knew that Shen Qian must be there.
Otherwise, even if Shen Qian didn't open the door, the housekeeper would open the door.
After knocking a few more times, there was no sound from inside. Li Dong shouted again, "I really have something to talk to you about. If you don't open the door, I'll shout!"
"Then shout!"
Shen Qian replied snappily. She didn't believe that Li Dong would dare to shout.
This was the Provincial Party Committee's inner court, and the people who came and went were all influential people.
Unless Li Dong was really shameless, he would be laughed at by others if he made a big noise.
Just as she was thinking about this, she heard a loud shout from outside the door, "Shen Qian, open the door! The express delivery is here!"
Even through the door, Shen Qian could feel the piercing gazes coming from all directions.
Shen Qian did not dare to embarrass him any further. She hurriedly opened the door and pulled Li Dong, who was about to continue shouting, in.
Li Dong looked at her proudly and said with a smile, "I said I shouted, but you didn't believe me. If you still don't open the door …"
Halfway through his words, Li Dong suddenly stopped and stared blankly.
Shen Qian didn't notice and said angrily, "It's your business if you want to be shameless. Can you not embarrass yourself here? If someone hears you, I'll be shameless!"
Li Dong's mouth twitched, and he said dryly, "Secretary Du, you're at home."
Shen Qian's face stiffened. She quickly turned her head and saw Du Anmin and another person standing at the door of the study looking at them.
How could an ordinary person enter Du Anmin's study? After Li Dong greeted Du Anmin, he smiled stiffly and said, "Governor Qin, you're here too."
Qin Hanyuan nodded with a smile and looked at the two of them without saying anything.
Du Anmin's brows twitched. He glanced at his daughter and then at Li Dong. After a while, he said in a muffled voice, "Li Dong, I was just about to look for you. Come into the study!"
After saying this, Du Anmin and Qin Hanyuan entered the study again.
After the two of them went in, Li Dong said with a bitter face, "Your dad and Governor Qin are here. Why didn't you say anything?"
Shen Qian also blushed a little. She forced herself to snort and said, "I just wanted them to see your shameless face. What's wrong with that?"
In fact, she really didn't know that her dad and Governor Qin were at home. Before the nanny could say anything, she had already sent her away.
If the two of them hadn't come out of the study, Shen Qian would have thought that there was no one else in the house except for the nanny.
Seeing Li Dong's gloomy face, Shen Qian suddenly felt a lot better. She snorted and said, "Aren't you shameless? Why are you still afraid of embarrassing yourself?"
Li Dong said gloomily, "I'm shameless in front of you. I really can't be shameless at all."
"Pfft!"
Shen Qian really couldn't hold it in. She laughed, but felt that it was a little inappropriate. She said with a straight face, "Don't be shameless. Go in. Are you going to make Governor Qin wait for you?"
"Then I'm going in. With your dad's narrow-mindedness, I don't know how to make things difficult for me later. Sigh, how pitiful. In order to stand up for my daughter, I'm doomed this time … "
Li Dong nagged a little. Shen Qian said angrily, "Go in and say that!"
"Ahem, even if I'm shameless, I still want my life."
Li Dong laughed dryly. He didn't dare to let the two inside wait for too long. He said as he walked, "Don't be angry. You see, this time I've lost a lot of face. If you're still angry, I'll publish an apology in the newspaper tomorrow. That'll be really embarrassing to the whole country."
"Crazy!"
Shen Qian scolded. But she was really afraid that this guy would publish it in the newspaper.
She might not believe it if someone else said it, but this fellow Li Dong had done a lot of stupid things. If he really published it in the newspaper, even if it wasn't embarrassing to the whole country, it would be almost.
When Li Dong heard that, he said softly, "Are you still angry?"
"Go in quickly. You're so annoying!"
"Say that you're not angry anymore, or I won't go in."
Shen Qian stared at him for a while. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go in if you want. I can't be bothered to go crazy with you!"
After saying that, Shen Qian turned around and left.
Li Dong looked embarrassed. It seemed that this trick was not going to work.
Of course, saying that he wouldn't go in was just to scare Shen Qian. How could Li Dong really not go in? He had offended two high-ranking officials at once. Even if he wanted to die, this was not the way to play.
…
In the study.
Du Anmin and Qin Hanyuan were sitting opposite each other.
Seeing Li Dong enter and Du Anmin ignoring him, Qin Hanyuan smiled and said, "General Manager Li, come in and take a seat."
Li Dong quickly said, "Secretary Du, Governor Qin, you don't have to worry about me. I'll just stand here and listen."
Du Anmin glanced at him and paused for a while before saying, "Let's sit down and talk."
Li Dong laughed dryly and sat down. When he sat down, the two ignored him and continued to talk about their own matters.
Li Dong listened for a while. It was not a big secret. The two were talking about flood control.
The rainy season was coming. As a province along the Yangtze and Huai rivers, Jiangbei was a defensive battle every year during the rainy season.
This year's weather was a bit abnormal, and there was a high possibility of floods. This was what the two were talking about.
Li Dong could not say anything about this. But he also knew that this year's flood was not small. But the problem in Jiangbei was not big. There was no danger, and there was no need to worry too much.
After chatting for about two to three minutes, the two stopped this topic.
It was enough to forgive Li Dong for a while. Du Anmin would not really let him do nothing.
Li Dong was a private entrepreneur leader in Jiangbei. If not for his complicated relationship with his daughter, Du Anmin would not deliberately treat him coldly.
After talking about flood control, Du Anmin looked at Li Dong and said, "This year's Far away expansion is a bit fast. It's best to slow down. A solid foundation is the most important."
Li Dong quickly nodded and said, "I will. Don't worry, Secretary Du. I won't mess around."
Du Anmin nodded and did not say anything. Qin Hanyuan waited for the two to finish talking before saying, "General Manager Li, I happened to meet you today. I was going to find a time to talk to you alone."
Li Dong immediately said, "I should be the one to visit the Governor. But I was afraid that the Governor would be too busy, so I did not dare to disturb him."
Qin Hanyuan smiled and did not care whether it was true or not. He paused and said, "I was talking to Secretary Du about the North Bay Logistics Park, and we happened to talk about Far away Express. Far away Express has been developing rapidly in the past few years. In addition to the Far away Distribution Center, your scale in this area is not small … "
Qin Hanyuan spoke for a while, and Li Dong listened carefully.
After he finished, Li Dong knew what these two wanted to do with him.
Let Far away Logistics enter North Bay Logistics Park!
Li Dong hesitated and did not know whether he should agree or not.
Logically speaking, it was not a big deal even if he agreed to it. So be it. Distance Express still needed a headquarters.
However, although North Bay Logistics Park was known as the number one logistics park in East China, there had been some bad news recently.
The biggest investor, Wanhu Group, might have some problems with the capital chain.
The originally prepared investment of 6 billion yuan, except for the first phase of 1 billion yuan, the second and third phase of 2 billion yuan was not in place. The huge North Bay Logistics Park might be unfinished.
At this time, these two wanted him to enter. Wasn't this putting him in a difficult position?
Once the project was unfinished, then North Bay Logistics Park would be a wasteland. Did they want him to do the infrastructure? The investment would be huge.
Just as Li Dong was hesitating, Qin Hanyuan smiled and said, "Of course, it is normal for General Manager Li to have concerns. But General Manager Li, don't misunderstand. We just hope that Faraway Group can set an example and lead everyone to enter. North Bay Logistics Park might be in some difficulties now, but since the government has made a plan, it will definitely not be unfinished. In front of Secretary Du, I can confidently say that even if Wanhu Group really divested, the province will continue this project. "
Li Dong did not take his words too seriously. Instead, he said seriously, "Governor, I believe that the project will continue. But there is something I have to ask. When can North Bay Logistics Park be put into use? You said to continue, but the time cannot be guaranteed. If it cannot be put into operation in three to five years, then Faraway Express can't just wait, right? In the next one or two years, Faraway Logistics will definitely build a headquarters. Once I sign the contract with the government, but North Bay cannot be officially put into operation, it will have a big impact on Faraway Logistics. "
Qin Hanyuan did not mind his doubts. He nodded and said, "Your concerns are reasonable. After all, the logistics park investment is not small. Once Wanhu Group withdraws, I can't guarantee that there will not be a second company taking over in a short period of time. But there is one thing you can rest assured about. If North Bay cannot be put into operation by that time, Faraway can decide whether to continue with the contract or not. This can be clearly stated in the contract. Faraway is one of the few companies in Jiangbei that can go overseas. We will not put any restrictions on you. "
Since Qin Hanyuan said so, Li Dong did not have any objections. He nodded and said, "Then this is not a problem. I agree."
Qin Hanyuan smiled. He was probably satisfied with Li Dong's attitude. They chatted for a while about Faraway, and there was no lack of compliments.
The two of them chatted for a while. Qin Hanyuan did not stay for long and left quickly.
Du Anmin personally saw him off, and Li Dong followed along to see him off.
After Qin Hanyuan left, Li Dong also wanted to slip away, but he heard Du Anmin say, "Come in, I want to talk to you."
Li Dong had a bitter face, but he did not dare to refuse. He followed him into the house.
When they returned to the study, there were only the two of them in the study.
Du Anmin looked at the map of Jiangbei hanging in the study. He was silent for a while before saying, "North Bay Logistics Park was proposed by me, and Wanhu Group was also introduced by me. This time, Wanhu Group's withdrawal of investment is unavoidable … "
After a few simple words, Du Anmin hesitated for a while before saying, "If you take over, is it possible?"
Li Dong was stunned and said, "I take over?"
"Yes, of course, I am only giving a suggestion. Don't misunderstand. You can get someone to survey and see if there are any prospects for development. Faraway Logistics Park wants to expand, and I think this is an opportunity. Especially at this time, if you take over, some of the conditions will be more relaxed. "
At this moment, Li Dong forgot about the anxiety in his heart and carefully considered the proposal.
Make the biggest logistics park in Hua Dong?
Would there be benefits?
There was no doubt about this. If Faraway was successful, there would be many benefits.
But the investment for the logistics park was not small, and it would take a long time to accumulate funds.
North Bay Logistics Park was said to be a 10 billion investment. Even if it was not that much, it would not be far off.
Now that Wanhu Group was withdrawing investment, the government would definitely give a lot of benefits in order to successfully complete the project. Even if Li Dong did not get a professional team to do the calculations, it would be impossible to complete the project without an investment of five to six billion.
For such a large amount of funds, the government would probably be able to provide a portion of it, but he would need to invest at least three to four billion.
With so much money, he would not be able to recoup it within three to five years.
Once it was delayed, would Faraway be able to hold on?
Just as Li Dong was thinking about these problems, Du Anmin let out a sigh and said, "Go back and think about it. Act according to your capabilities. Faraway's expansion is not slow, and the pressure is not small. If you feel that it is not suitable, just pretend that you did not hear this."
Du Anmin was also afraid that his identity would bring pressure to Li Dong and cause Li Dong to make the wrong decision.
But this matter was a hurdle in his heart. If North Bay Logistics Park was really unfinished, then he might not be able to overcome this hurdle for the next few years.
Actually, at this time, he had already decided to leave. Even if North Bay was really unfinished, it would not affect him that much.
But sometimes, things did not work that way.
Du Anmin thought for a long time before he finally thought of Li Dong.
Faraway Logistics had been developing rapidly in the past year, and Du Anmin felt that this might be an opportunity.
If Faraway could really become a logistics park, then the influence of Faraway Logistics would expand tenfold, and the benefits it would bring would not be small.
In the short term, it might cause a certain amount of pressure, but in the long term, Faraway would only be beneficial and harmless.
Now, the only thing that worried Du Anmin was whether Faraway could withstand this kind of pressure.
An investment of several billion was not a small amount. If North Bay Logistics Park dragged down Faraway, then he would be the sinner of Faraway.
Li Dong was silent for a moment before he said, "I can't give you an answer on this matter now. I'll think about it when I go back. How about this, I'll get someone to come up with a plan and plan in the near future. If it really can be done, then I'll take over. But if I don't think it's suitable, I'm afraid I can't take over. "
"That's right. There's no rush to make a decision on this matter. I can wait for a year or so."
Du Anmin did not continue this topic after he finished speaking. He waved his hand and said, "You go out first. Have lunch here at noon. I'll go out later."
Seeing that he was a little tired, Li Dong did not stand on ceremony and quietly left the room.
As soon as he went out, Li Dong saw Shen Qian coming in with tea. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Worried?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Who's worried? I'm afraid my dad is thirsty!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I know you're worried about your dad. I understand."
Li Dong winked and glanced at her a few times. Shen Qian was too lazy to roll her eyes. She pretended not to care and said, "What did you say to my dad?"
"Your dad kept inviting me to eat here. I had to agree. I had no choice but to agree …"
"Shameless!"
Shen Qian did not get the answer she wanted. She scolded angrily and turned to leave. At this time, she had forgotten whether her dad was thirsty or not.
