Wang Huasheng was not surprised by Jiang Cheng's call. This guy was a native of Jiangnan City and had made great contributions to the development of Jiangnan City. Wang Huasheng said with a smile, "I heard that you have a son recently. I haven't had time to congratulate you!"
"Secretary Wang, what are you talking about? You are the official of millions of people. How can I let you condescend? Besides, I don't want to be called a bad profiteer!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile. "Haha, there are times when you are afraid. I know what you are thinking.
Well, let's get down to business. This time, the Municipal Party Committee has decided to carry out urban reconstruction. The old and the new urban areas will be built together. Your group is one of the best real estate developers in Jiangnan City. You have a lot of experience and technology in construction. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government trust you very much. Jiang Cheng, your burden is going to be heavier. You should not only pay attention to your own life. You should do something for the people of Jiangnan City! "Wang Huasheng said seriously, trying to persuade Jiang Cheng, hoping that he could do something.
Jiang Cheng was still very concerned about such a big project of ten billion yuan, but he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. If such a big project was placed in a first-tier city, there would definitely be no problem. However, Jiangnan City was only a third-tier city. Although the population had already reached 1.5 million, the city's construction and environment had not kept up with the development.
As a result, the prices of Jiangnan City continued to rise. Jiang Cheng had noticed this from the chat of some employees at the bottom.
Jiangnan City was an agricultural city, a tourist and livable city. There were few industries here. The power plant was generated from the water of a large dam eighty miles away from the city, and there was also electricity transmitted from the Three Gorges Dam.
In the past, Jiangnan City was completely self-sufficient and even generated income through agriculture every year. But now it was different. As the population of Jiangnan City continued to skyrocket, the pressure on the city became greater and greater. The public transportation became more and more insufficient, and the rent rose again and again. The cost of living of the people continued to increase, but the salary was still at the level of a few years ago. As a result, the gap between income and expenditure was getting smaller and smaller, and even became negative. The money earned was not enough to support oneself.
The main problem was that the construction of the city had not kept up. Most of the people came because of the growing fame of Jiangnan City. There were also many extras, various film crews, and even some film and television companies. They directly opened their branches in Jiangnan City.
Nowadays, the national film market was very popular. It was normal for a decent action movie to earn hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office when it was released across the country.
It was also normal for some good movies to have a box office of one or two billion. But there were also some bad movies that could make a lot of box office by means of hype and other means.
So in the current national market, movies could be said to be very profitable, which made Jiang Cheng's heart beat fast. He wished he could set up a film and television company and make a few movies for fun.
"Secretary Wang, you can rest assured that I, Jiang Cheng, will absolutely not shirk from supporting the construction of our hometown. But Secretary Wang, our group can't take such a big project in one bite. We have to ask more people to do it. This cake is too big. I, Jiang Cheng, dare not swallow it alone!"
"You can rest assured. Now the plan is in preparation. Next month, the Municipal Party Committee will hold a bidding meeting. We will divide the expansion and reconstruction project of the old and new urban areas into several pieces. At that time, you will compete with each other. The winner will get the construction qualification of the project. But your group is a star enterprise in our city. I can open a back door for you!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he felt that Wang Huasheng had deliberately sent a very big piece of cake to his mouth. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
A weasel paying a chicken a New Year's greeting must not have a good intention. Jiang Cheng asked, "Secretary Wang, your conditions are too good. But you must have some requirements for me to give me such a good treatment, right?"
Wang Huasheng nodded. "Of course there are requirements. It's like this. Because the project is too big, the government's funds are not enough. So the advance payment may not be so much. We need your group's funds to pay in advance. But the government will not treat you badly. We will compensate you according to the bank loan interest for the same period!"
Wang Huasheng finally said his ultimate reason. After listening, Jiang Cheng hesitated. Such a big cake, such a big project, the government actually did not give an advance payment. Listening to Wang Huasheng's words, it was estimated that the advance payment was very small. At that time, his group would have to pay a lot of money in advance.
However, the new year had just passed, and the landlord's family didn't have any surplus food. Although Jiang Cheng had a big family business now, most of it was physical industries. In fact, there wasn't much money in his account. A few days ago, he spent hundreds of millions to buy a plane.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng felt that the plane was not so easy to fly in the city. It could only fly to the sea. So he decided to buy a helicopter. A suitable helicopter would cost tens of millions, which was also a big cost.
In addition, he had to pay so many employees every month. In fact, the money in his bank account was not so rich. Now there was such a big project in front of him. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. But he also needed a big mouth!
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Wang, I need to discuss it with the shareholders. After all, the group is not mine alone. I have to hold a board meeting!"
"Well, if you're sure, call me!" Wang Huasheng hung up the phone and frowned. Secretary Zhang came in and saw the secretary frowning again. He couldn't help but feel distressed.
He said with concern, "Secretary Wang, why don't you go and rest for a while? Look at you. You haven't slept well for the past few days. You have lost a lot of weight!"
Wang Huasheng waved his hand. "How can I sleep? There are more than a million people in the city waiting to be fed. As a government official, I have to think of ways to solve their living problems. These capitalists are all cunning. When it's time to make money, they will rush over. But when it's time to contribute to the country, they will try all sorts of excuses. This time, the Provincial Government is paying close attention to this project, and we cannot have a weak finish. That's why we need to attract these big corporations over and think of ways to get them to start the project!"
Secretary Zhang suddenly thought of someone. He reminded Wang Huasheng, "Secretary Wang, do you remember Hanson who came to look for you last month?"
Wang Huasheng thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about the Chinese in Australia? The real estate developer in Australia? "
"Yes, yes, yes. That's him, Secretary Wang. I've checked on the internet. That Mr. Pan is indeed the CEO of Australia's Sparta Real Estate Development Company. Recently, he has started to pay attention to the China market. When he heard that we have a big urban reconstruction project, he specially flew over. I think we should hand the project over to him. His company is quite big. I think it's feasible!"
Wang Huasheng was a little hesitant. He had an impression of Mr. Pan. That time, Mr. Pan had specially recommended himself to Wang Huasheng, saying that he hoped to invest in Jiangnan City. He also expressed that he was very optimistic about China's domestic market. Jiangnan City was the fastest growing city in China in the past few years. There were huge business opportunities, so he wanted to invest.
At that time, Wang Huasheng had shown the project to Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan expressed his interest and was willing to participate in the bidding. He also said that he would bring his company's core group to China and recruit technical and construction workers in China. He said that he would definitely build the project according to the government's standards and would not cut corners. For this, Mr. Pan expressed that he was willing to pay a deposit of 10 million RMB.
At that time, Mr. Pan's actions touched Wang Huasheng, and it also left a deep impression on Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang felt that although this overseas real estate developer was a foreigner, he was actually a Chinese. Moreover, he had such a big company in Australia and branches in the US and Europe. His construction team had left footprints all over the world. This time, he came to China to develop his business. He must have taken a fancy to the booming real estate market in China, so he wanted to make a few buckets of gold.
Businessmen pursue profits. This was their nature. Secretary Zhang felt that Mr. Pan's actions were very normal, and Wang Huasheng also felt that this person was very trustworthy.
But after all, this was a foreign company, and they still needed Mr. Pan to pay for the project. At that time, Wang Huasheng mentioned the matter of paying for the project to Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan felt that it was normal, but he had a small request. Because all of his bank accounts were overseas, if he paid for the project, just the handling fees alone would be as high as a few hundred million RMB. This was a huge amount for a company.
So, Mr. Pan asked if Mr. Pan could get a loan from a bank in China.
Wang Huasheng didn't have any objections. In the real estate industry, many businessmen would get the approval documents from the government and immediately go to the bank to get a loan. This was very normal in China.
But the thing that left a deep impression on Wang Huasheng was Mr. Pan's strength. Coupled with his company's international reputation, Wang Huasheng felt that if he could keep Mr. Pan in China and Jiangnan City, Mr. Pan might become one of the top 100 foreign companies in China. At that time, Mr. Pan's political achievements could be imagined. Moreover, Mr. Pan's group was listed on NASDAQ. At that time, Mr. Pan promised that if his business in China progressed smoothly, it would drive the local industry in Jiangnan City. He would make Jiangnan City the number one city in Central China, and catch up with Changsha and Wuhan.
