Time passed very quickly. The communication between Jiang City and Xinli Group went very smoothly. Both parties had entered the stage of signing the cooperation agreement on Xinli Group's plan to invest in the cultural industrial park to build a cultural tourism city. At the same time, Jiang City Evening News also made a major report on the front page of Xinli Group's upcoming construction of the eighth Xinli Cultural Tourism City in Jiang City. The total investment of the project was as high as 20 billion yuan. For a while, the cultural industrial park once again became the focus of the city's attention and attracted more capital inflows.
With the finalization of the cultural tourism city project between the city and Xinli Group, there were new changes in the land auction of Jiangling Street. The Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources issued a new announcement and once again adjusted some of the threshold requirements for bidding enterprises. As soon as the announcement was released, it immediately caused a discussion in the industry. Some people began to curse the city behind their backs, but there was nothing they could do because some of the newly announced threshold conditions were completely refined and supplemented from the previous ones. The requirements were also higher, and it was more obvious that it was the 'bidding requirements' tailor-made for individual real estate companies. Combined with the news that Xinli Group had invested a lot of money to build the eighth cultural tourism city in Jiang City, if the local business people still did not know that the city was going to give the land to Xinli Group for development, then they must be crazy.
Many people outside were cursing, but Chen Xing was leisurely in the office. The landing of Xinli Group's cultural tourism city was a great joy for Chen Xing, especially for Chen Xing to expand and strengthen the cultural industrial park. Therefore, Chen Xing had no reason to be unhappy.
However, being happy was just being happy. Chen Xing also knew that there were quite a lot of people scolding him because of the plot of land at Jiangling Street. However, Chen Xing felt that it was worth it. The city had made some concessions to Xin Li Group on the plot of land at Jiangling Street, but the sacrifice was not considered big. If Xin Li Group wanted to get the plot of land, they would still have to pay the market price. However, because of the special care of the city government, Xin Li Group would pay a relatively lower price in the auction.
In the evening, Chen Xing came to Anping Hotel. The chairman of Anping Group, Yu Changqian, personally welcomed Chen Xing at the entrance of the hotel.
In the luxurious private room, Chen Xing and Yu Changqian took their seats one after another. Chen Xing wanted to arrange this dinner a few days ago, but it was delayed until the announcement of the cooperation between the city and Xinli Group.
Yu Changqian's attitude was still enthusiastic. Chen Xing smiled and took the tea made by the other party. He glanced at Yu Changqian and said half-jokingly, "Mr. Yu, this time because of the land on Jiangling Street, the people in the real estate industry are all cursing me, the mayor, behind my back, right?"
When Yu Changqian heard this, he glanced at his nephew, Yu Zhiyuan. Because Yu Zhiyuan had informed him in advance, Yu Changqian also roughly knew the purpose of Chen Xing's arrangement of today's dinner. He also had some ideas in his heart. When he heard Chen Xing mention this, Yu Changqian couldn't help but smile. "Mayor Chen, other people may have some opinions, but I have never scolded you. Of course, there are some small complaints. After all, our Anping Group is the leader of the local real estate industry. We also have the ability to develop the land on Jiangling Street. Moreover, our group has always strongly supported and responded positively to the work of the city, but the city excluded us this time. It would be a lie if we said that we have no complaints."
"Well, there should be complaints. If you tell me that you have no complaints, then I have to say that you are hypocritical." Chen Xing smiled. "I have this dinner with Mr. Yu today because of this."
"Mayor Chen, please say it, I am all ears." Yu Changqian said.
"Mr. Yu, you must have paid attention to the news reports in the city these two days. What do you think?" Chen Xing smiled and asked Yu Changqian.
Yu Changqian didn't expect Chen Xing to throw the question at him. He pondered for a moment and said, "Mayor Chen, Zhiyuan and I have talked about some of your thoughts and some of the city's long-term strategies. To be honest, I understand, but you also know that companies value profits. For companies like ours whose main business is real estate, the number of high-quality land reserves in our hands also determines our future development space. The land on Jiangling Street is one of the few high-quality plots in the city center, so even if its development cost is high, powerful real estate developers will still flock to it. Our Anping Group is the leader of the local real estate industry, and this high-quality land is right in front of our home, but we don't even have the chance to participate in the competition, so we are really unwilling."
What Yu Changqian said at this moment were some opinions, and Chen Xing nodded slightly after listening. It was normal for the other party to have such opinions, and this actually represented the thoughts of most local people in the real estate industry. The main purpose of Chen Xing's dinner today was to communicate with Yu Changqian and pass the message to the people in the real estate industry through Yu Changqian.
As Chen Xing was thinking, he suddenly heard Yu Changqian change the topic and suddenly said, "Mayor, in fact, although I am unwilling, after watching the news reports in the city these two days, we can also understand the city's approach. After all, the brand and reputation of Xinli Group are there, and only Xinli Group has the strength and financial resources to invest 20 billion yuan in a cultural tourism city. These local companies, after all, are not just one level lower than them."
Yu Changqian said with a wry smile at the end.
When Chen Xing heard this, he was slightly stunned. Yu Changqian's attitude was very high awareness, which saved him a lot of words.
Turning his head to look at Yu Zhiyuan, Chen Xing thought that his secretary must have done a lot of work.
Because of Yu Changqian's attitude, the dinner in the evening was obviously very enjoyable. Yu Changqian understood Chen Xing's purpose, so he naturally agreed and was willing to help Chen Xing speak to the people in the local real estate industry. With Yu Changqian, the leading local real estate company, taking the lead in responding, other people's complaints would obviously reduce or disappear. After all, even Yu Changqian had no opinion, what else could they say?
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. As a businessman, while Yu Zhangqian valued profits, he also deeply understood that the investment of connections in the official circles was also a big business. Since the city had already decided to develop the plot of land on Jiangling Street, it was already irreversible, he might as well support Chen Xing. This way, not only could he further win Chen Xing's favor, he would also not suffer any losses, so why not?
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. When leaving Anping Hotel, Chen Xing was also in a good mood. Meeting a businessman like Yu Changqian who knew how to adapt to circumstances, Chen Xing was obviously very worry-free.
