"Yiwei, come over now."
After receiving Zhang Zhiyuan's call, Lu Yiwei rushed to the Provincial Government Compound.
Bai Zongfeng was also in the office when he saw Zhang Zhiyuan.
After Zhang Zhiyuan invited them to sit down, he went straight to the point. "Governor Shen just told me to have a chat with the two of you regarding the investment in Shanteng Motors. We're all on the same side, so I won't stand on ceremony. What do you think of his conditions?"
Bai Zongfeng sat there smoking and glanced at Lu Yiwei, signaling him to speak first. Lu Yiwei had been thinking about this for the past two days. "Secretary Zhang, I feel that the other party's conditions are too harsh. This isn't a cooperation. It's a capitalist exploitation. We can take over the automobile factory. After all, it's a half-dead factory, and it can be revived after a joint venture. As for the 5 years tax exemption and the return of the land fees, what did he take from us? I feel that the other party is not sincere in this cooperation. "
After Lu Yiwei finished speaking, Bai Zongfeng continued, "Yiwei is right. I had high hopes for this project from the start, but now that the mirage has been destroyed, I think we should just forget about it."
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said. "Governor Zhao places great importance on this project, and Governor Shen does not want this deal to fall through. What you said makes sense, but we can still negotiate. How about this, Yiwei will follow up and see if the other party has any leeway. We can sacrifice some benefits, but we must consider the long term. "
Seeing Governor Shen's firm attitude, Lu Yiwei said. "Alright. I'll try again."
After discussing this matter, Bai Zongfeng said angrily. "Zhiyuan, I'm puzzled. What's the meaning of the Provincial Party Committee interfering? Look at how anxious Lin Haifeng is. He's afraid that I'll steal his limelight. What the f * ck! "
Zhang Zhiyuan quickly got up and locked the door. "Old Bai, it's not a good place to talk. Lower your voice. Governor Zhao had clearly instructed that Governor Shen would be fully in charge of this matter. As for what other people think, we don't care. Since we're going to do it, we must do it. "
"No problem." Bai Zongfeng said angrily, "I agree to Shanteng Corporation's conditions. We can sign the agreement tomorrow."
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Old Bai, this is not the time to throw a tantrum. How about this, let Yiwei negotiate first. If it doesn't work out, go to Japan personally. As long as he can bring it down to an acceptable range, we can compensate him in other ways. "
After leaving the Provincial Government Compound, Lu Yiwei went straight to the Department of Commerce.
Xu Lei was just about to leave when he saw Lu Yiwei. He turned back and said, "I was just about to look for you. I have an important piece of news to tell you. As far as I know, Mr. Yamamoto did not return to Japan after leaving Xijiang Province, but went to the neighboring province. "
"What?" Lu Yiwei was puzzled. "Why is he going to the neighboring province?"
Xu Lei was a little embarrassed. "Yiwei, I just got the news. I heard that Mr. Yamamoto is not only interested in our Xijiang Province, but the neighboring provinces as well. Some of the southern provinces have even gone to Japan to discuss cooperation with Yamaoto after receiving the news from an unknown source. "
Lu Yiwei sucked in a cold breath when he heard that. "You mean that Yamamoto might not invest in Xijiang Province, but is negotiating with many provinces?"
"You can put it that way." Xu Lei said, "As a businessman, Yamamoto's investment environment is one thing, but he also considers economic benefits. If there was a better offer, then he would naturally choose that one. I received news that the neighboring provinces offered preferential conditions. Not only did they satisfy all of Yamamoto's requirements, but they also provided land for free. Another province in the south is even more generous, and they even agreed to provide a bank loan for Yamamoto. "
Lu Yiwei initially thought that Yamamoto's conditions were unacceptable, but he never expected that the other provinces would accept it with additional conditions. It seems that they are going all out to get this Japanese company. Yamamoto is naturally willing to see this situation, and he will probably wait to see which province has better conditions.
Lu Yiwei was stunned. After a while, he said, "Xu Lei, do you think Shanteng will consider our province?"
"Uh … I can't say for sure." Xu Lei rubbed his chin. "Yamamoto and I only got to know each other in business, and we don't have a deep relationship. This company mainly manufactures vans, and its brand value is not high. This time, he is looking for overseas rentals because of China's huge consumer market. You must know that the consumer market for vans is second and third tier cities, not big cities. Furthermore, the consumption level in the northwest is not high, and choosing Xijiang Province is a big risk. So, I think he will consider it carefully. "
Lu Yiwei understood that Xijiang Province is just one of Yamamoto's stops. "Xu Lei, I don't want to let go of this opportunity. Since other provinces are fighting for it, I also want to give it a try."
"Sure." Xu Lei readily agreed. "What do you need me to do for you?"
Lu Yiwei said. "I want to go to Japan to meet Yamamoto, but I don't understand Japanese, and it will be difficult for me to communicate with him. So, I hope you can accompany me. "
"That's not a problem." Xu Lei said. "Yamamoto is actually a China expert, and he has no problem communicating in Mandarin. It seems that his wife is Chinese."
"That's easy. When are you free?"
"Anytime, since it's your business."
"Okay." Lu Yiwei was touched. He stood up and shook his hand. "I will go back and ask for instructions now. I will let you know when I'm done."
"Okay. I will wait for your call."
Lu Yiwei came out of the business office and rushed to the Provincial Government Compound. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan was accompanying Governor Shen for a meeting. He waited outside for more than ten minutes, and Zhang Zhiyuan sent a text message.
Zhang Zhiyuan received the text message and walked out. He looked at Lu Yiwei's anxious look. "What is it?"
Lu Yiwei briefly explained. Zhang Zhiyuan went silent for a moment and said, "Wait here. I will talk to Governor Shen." He pushed the door open and entered.
About seven to eight minutes later, Zhang Zhiyuan and Shen Guangming came out together. Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand at Lu Yiwei. "Follow me to the office." It seems that Shen Guangming also attached great importance to this project. He came out after the meeting.
"Is there such a thing?" Shen Guangming was in disbelief.
Lu Yiwei said, "I just got the news. I need to know more about it."
"Then, you investigate the situation first. If there is such a thing, we must not fall behind. We must snatch it even if we have to." Shen Guangming said excitedly.
Three days later, Lu Yiwei looked for Zhang Zhiyuan again and said, "Secretary Zhang, I have basically investigated it. The neighboring province is indeed contacting Yamamoto, and they have sent a team to Japan. At the same time, several cities in Jiangsu and Hunan are fighting for it. We are in a passive position. "
"What are their conditions?"
Lu Yiwei said, "From what I know, the neighboring province has invested a lot this time. As long as Yamamoto is willing to come, they will rent the land for 15 years for free. Also, they will give the green light for all related procedures. "
The country has relevant preferential policies for foreign investors to invest in China, but each country has its own local methods. In order to win over foreign companies, they will not hesitate to spend their capital and are even willing to pay for it, just to make themselves look good. They will be proud to say that this is a foreign company.
Looks like the competition is not small. Zhang Zhiyuan could not make a decision. After all, he cannot make the decision. When the report was sent to Shen Guangming, Shen Guangming said, "They are fighting, and we will not be outdone. How about this? Call Chief Wang over, and I will make arrangements for him personally. We must get this project. "
Lu Yiwei raised a different opinion. "Governor Shen, why don't I go and find out more about the other party? We can make a decision after that."
Shen Guangming thought for a long time and said, "Fine. Get moving now!"
Lu Yiwei did not dare to delay. After calling Xu Lei, he quickly went home to pack his things. Luckily, he had applied for a passport two years ago. This time, it will be of great use.
When Fan Chunfang heard that Lu Yiwei is going to Japan with Xu Lei, she was shocked. "When did you get together with Xu Lei?"
Lu Yiwei said vaguely, "It's because of work. Don't tell Mom and Dad about this, or they will be worried."
Fan Chunfang leaned on the door and smiled. "You two won't fight, right?"
Lu Yiwei put down his things and said seriously, "Are you joking? Do you think we are young and will fight over a woman?"
"Haha." Fan Chunfang covered her mouth and laughed. "Yiwei, I feel that you are a man today. If it were other men, they would not be able to do it."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yiwei scratched his nose and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Xu Lei is not that kind of person, and neither am I. If we put aside all kinds of complicated relationships, I would be happy to be friends with him. "
"Sigh!" Fan Chunfang sighed. "Xu Lei is a good person, but what his father did was really despicable."
Lu Yiwei suddenly asked, "Chunfang, there's something I've been wondering about. Xu Lei is good looking and talented. He's a hundred times better than me. Why did you choose me and not him?"
Fan Chunfang's smile froze on her face. She lowered her head and said, "It's actually very simple. Xu Lei and I grew up together, and I have always treated him as a brother. We are too familiar with each other, so I never thought about it. Besides, he has never confessed to me, so how would I know what he's thinking? As for you, the first time I saw you, I felt that you are mine, someone I can rely on in this life. "
Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently and said, "I'm actually not as good as you think."
Fan Chunfang suddenly hugged Lu Yiwei tightly and muttered, "Yiwei, please don't leave me."
Lu Yiwei turned around and touched Fan Chunfang's cheek. "Silly, since I have chosen you, I will always be with you. Besides, we have our precious son, Lang Lang. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Thank you, thank you …" Fan Chunfang was so touched that she was incoherent.
