Wu Liqian gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth. After pondering for a while, she decided not to tell Xia Ruofei about these vexing matters.
She knew that Xia Ruofei had a good relationship with the Tian Huilan Family, and that Xia Ruofei's connections in Sanshan City and the Southeast Province were not something she could compare to. If Xia Ruofei was willing to help, her problems would most likely be solved. However, she didn't want to do that.
Firstly, Wu Liqian didn't want her relationship with Xia Ruofei to be mixed with other factors.
Secondly, which was also the most important reason, Wu Liqian knew a bit about Liu Haojun's situation. She knew that Liu Haojun came from Beijing and that his family was very powerful. She was worried that Xia Ruofei would provoke such a dangerous enemy.
From Wu Liqian's point of view, Xia Ruofei was quite influential in Sanshan City and the Southeast Province. However, Beijing's waters were too deep. She couldn't let Xia Ruofei get involved in this matter.
After thinking for a while, she said, "It's not a difficult matter. It's just that the work isn't going well … A while ago, we talked about an investment project for a long time. In the end, it fell through. This project couldn't be settled in Changping …"
Wu Liqian's words were a mix of truth and lies. She knew that if she didn't tell him the details, Xia Ruofei would definitely continue to ask, so she might as well tell him about the Huang Long Group's withdrawal of investment. This was the truth anyway. She wasn't lying, but she didn't tell him the reason behind it.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "So it's like that! Then I really can't help. I can't force them to invest with a gun … Wait! Investment? Sister Qian, how much investment did you just say for this project? "
Wu Liqian paused and said, "It's not very big. About seven hundred million!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Sister Qian, I don't care if other people invest or not. However, when it comes to investment, I might be able to help. Actually, that's why I came to find you today …"
When Wu Liqian heard this, she immediately reacted. Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Ruofei, are you saying … your company is preparing to invest in Changping County?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Yes!"
"How much is the investment?" Wu Liqian asked.
Speaking of work, Wu Liqian temporarily forgot all the unhappy things. It was as if she had returned to the days when she had just started working in Changping County.
"The total investment is about 1.5 billion!" Xia Ruofei said. "The initial investment is about 500 million! How is it? It's not worse than the project you discussed before, right? "
Wu Liqian couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and said, "Ruofei, your business is so big now?"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Hey! Our company doesn't have that much cash flow, but can't we get a loan? Our company still has a lot of high-quality assets, and now we have zero debt, so the loan is not a big problem. "
Wu Liqian couldn't wait to ask, "What project are you going to invest in this time?"
For the local government, the amount of investment was one aspect of their political achievements, and another aspect was the quality of the project.
Different projects had a big difference. For example, for some projects with heavy pollution, the local government wouldn't blindly introduce them like in previous years without screening. After all, it was related to social impact and local sustainable development.
In addition, after a project went into production, the amount of revenue was directly related to the tax.
Therefore, the difference between a high-quality project and an ordinary project was quite big.
Often, the better the project, the more preferential policies the local government would get.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "A branch of Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory! How is it? This project should be able to enter County Magistrate Wu's eyes, right? "
When Wu Liqian heard this, she couldn't care less about Xia Ruofei's teasing. She was completely stunned by the huge surprise.
There was no one in the Three Mountains who did not know about the miracle created by the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory.
Before the famous Yuji cream was mass-produced, Wu Liqian had already used it. She had a deep impression of the magical effects of Yuji cream. Later, Yuji cream was sold out all over the country. Every time it was sold out on the internet, it would be sold out in a short time. The hundreds of millions in sales made Wu Liqian look at it in a new light.
Now that she heard that Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's branch was going to be located in Changping County, Wu Liqian felt like she had been hit in the head by a big gift bag.
Whenever she thought of Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's terrifying ability to make money, Wu Liqian felt like she was walking on clouds.
She knew very well that Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory was building a branch to expand production. The old factory couldn't be expanded anymore, so starting a new factory in Changping County was very likely to be done in one step. When the time came, the scale of the branch would be several times larger than the main factory. It was absolutely possible.
How much would the annual revenue of such a pharmaceutical factory be? How much would the taxes be? How much would it contribute to the entire Changping County's finances? Wu Liqian didn't dare to imagine …
"Sister Qian! Sister Qian! "
After Xia Ruofei called her twice, Wu Liqian came back to her senses.
Xia Ruofei chuckled and asked, "Sister Qian, we were just talking about the key point! Why are you still daydreaming? Are you too tired recently? Didn't you rest well? "
Wu Liqian glared at Xia Ruofei and said, "Isn't it all your fault? Who told you to suddenly release such a big satellite? It scared me silly … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Sister Qian, isn't such a small amount of money nothing to the government? You're the official of a county! You can't be so timid, right? "
"I am timid. What can you do about it?" Wu Liqian revealed a rare trace of a little girl and said somewhat unreasonably.
Usually, Wu Liqian had a serious look on her face at work. The staff around her were all careful in front of her, but in reality, she was only in her early thirties. She hadn't even been in a serious relationship. After tearing off her usual disguise, her mentality was similar to that of a girl in her twenties.
"Okay, okay, okay! It's all my fault, okay? "Xia Ruofei raised his hand and begged for mercy.
At this moment, the main dish, Buddha jumps over the wall, was served.
Xia Ruofei changed the topic and said, "Sister Qian, come, come, come! Let's eat first. We can talk about the investment slowly … "
"Okay!" Wu Liqian, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.
Very few people in the three mountains hadn't eaten Buddha jumps over the wall before. The famous Buddha jumps over the wall in Juchun Garden was the representative of the three mountains' high-end cuisine. Of course, that was history. Now, Buddha jumps over the wall had the best reputation, and it was undoubtedly Ling's Private Kitchen.
Wu Liqian had worked in the municipal government for so many years, and she was even the secretary of a leader. She had tasted Buddha jumps over the wall in Juchun Garden many times, but it was her first time eating Ling's Private Kitchen's signature Buddha jumps over the wall.
After the jar was opened, the extremely rich aroma had already made Wu Liqian's appetite whet.
The waiter scooped out the ingredients that had been simmered for more than ten hours. They were all real ingredients, and Wu Liqian couldn't wait to blow on them as she tasted them.
"Be careful, it's hot …" Xia Ruofei said, a little amused.
"The taste is really good!" Wu Liqian said as she chewed. "No wonder it's so expensive, and we have to line up to make a reservation! You really get what you pay for! "
Usually, Wu Liqian paid a lot of attention to her image. This was also a compulsory course for leaders. However, in front of Xia Ruofei, she could throw away all her pretense and be her truest self.
After tasting the Buddha jumps over the wall, Wu Liqian then tasted the expensive sweet wine that Xia Ruofei had prepared. The unique taste and sweetness naturally made her praise it.
After a while, Wu Liqian said, "Ruofei, regarding your company's investment plan, I personally support it very much! I will definitely try my best to get more preferential policies for you, including taxes, land, supporting facilities, and so on! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sister Qian, you've said all that I wanted to say … I'm looking for you because of this matter. After our inspection, we have basically chosen a piece of land. It's about three kilometers west of our farm, about a thousand acres! I hope that Changping County can grant us this piece of land. Of course, it would be best if there is some discount on the price. At the very least, it can be sold as industrial land! "
Wu Liqian nodded and said, "Granting the land isn't a big problem. You took this piece of land to build a pharmaceutical factory, so it can definitely be sold as industrial land. As for the discount on this basis, I will try my best to get it for you!"
Xia Ruofei snapped his fingers and said, "Sister Qian, you're so generous!"
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "If your company invests in a pharmaceutical factory, it will be a boost to the entire Changping County's economy. It will also provide hundreds of jobs. As the local government, I naturally have the obligation to protect the development of the company! You don't have to worry about this! "
Wu Liqian paused and then said, "In terms of taxes, I will also fight for the biggest discount for you. The discount period is usually five years, and the first three years are the biggest. For a large company like Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, it is even possible for the county to refund the corporate income tax and value-added tax in the first three years! In addition, there are also tax exemptions for the company's executives for three years … "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Sister Qian, we only want the benefits within the scope of the policy. To put it bluntly, I can accept it as long as the benefits are not worse than other companies. Of course, it would be best if you could get more benefits, but the premise is that you don't violate the principles and regulations. I want to use this matter to contribute to your political achievements! If it backfires, it won't be good. "
Wu Liqian's heart warmed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry! Public is public, private is private. I'm very clear about this, and I won't joke about my political future! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's the best. I'm also reminding you. Benefits or not, it's the icing on the cake. It's best if you have them, but it's not unacceptable if you don't. The earlier our factory starts production, the earlier we can generate profits. That's the most important thing!"
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "Mm! For a money-sucking monster like Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, the sooner, the better. "
Wu Liqian continued, "In addition to the land and taxes, the local government will also be responsible for the construction of a part of the infrastructure, mainly the roads from the factory to the main road, as well as the transmission lines, the water network, and so on. Of course, a part of this will also need to be funded by the company. After all, these are all for your company!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "No problem! Even if we don't have these, we will still build what needs to be built. "
The conversation between the two was a bit different. Under normal circumstances, the company would definitely try to get as many benefits as possible, while the government would need to strike a balance. They couldn't drive away the investors, and they couldn't let the government's interests suffer too much.
However, Xia Ruofei and Wu Liqian were somewhat opposite. Wu Liqian naturally wouldn't hide anything in front of Xia Ruofei. She would try her best to get the best benefits for Xia Ruofei, and Xia Ruofei wouldn't be like other companies that scrambled for benefits. Instead, he would consider problems from Wu Liqian's point of view from time to time. He was simply too easy to talk to.
Of course, today was only a private meeting between the two of them. If they really wanted to implement it on paper, Wu Liqian couldn't make the decision alone.
After talking about the pharmaceutical factory branch, Xia Ruofei also mentioned the issue of the farm expansion.
After Wu Liqian heard this, she pondered for a while and said, "Ruofei, I actually have a suggestion."
"Sister Qian, go ahead," Xia Ruofei quickly said.
"Since the land you want is connected and adjacent to the farm, why don't you use the Taoyuan Company's name to buy the entire piece of land, including the current scope of the farm." Wu Liqian said, "This way, although the initial investment will be larger, the future development of the farm won't be limited by the lease. Plus, if you buy it all at once, you won't have to pay rent in the future."
"Can we do that?" Xia Ruofei asked cautiously.
"It's not a big problem." Wu Liqian smiled and explained, "It might involve paying more compensation and transfer fees. After all, some of the land on the farm belongs to the village! However, if I mediate the entire operation, there shouldn't be any problems. "
The Taoyuan pharmaceutical factory project was very popular. As long as Changping County's party committee and government leaders weren't stupid, they wouldn't reject such a good project.
To put it bluntly, it didn't matter where the pharmaceutical factory was invested. If Changping County wanted this project, they naturally had to show their sincerity. This included the preferential policies that Wu Liqian mentioned before, as well as satisfying the Taoyuan Company's needs as much as possible.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's do it according to this plan!"
Wu Liqian nodded and said, "Go back and ask the people below to come up with a more detailed investment plan and difficulties. Directly report to me, and leave the rest to me to coordinate!"
