Li Rui took out a thousand dollars in cash from his wallet and handed it to her, saying, "I can't even attend Yu Xuefa's funeral. This is not much, but it's still a token of my sincerity. Please pass it on for me. My condolences to your parents."
Bo Yubing knew that he was rich, so this little bit of money made no difference to him, so she didn't try to be polite with him. She took the money and looked at him with red eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again. Her lips moved for a while, and finally she said, "Thank you!"
Li Rui gave her a look of condolence and said, "Alright, there's nothing else. I'll leave now." He turned around and left.
Bo Yubing didn't see him off. She stood there for a while before she turned around and looked at the bag of sacrificial items. She sighed and said, "Yuxue, you left too early. You missed such a good friend …"
After Li Rui left the County Magistrate's office, he didn't go back to his own office. Instead, he went straight to the County Party Committee. He planned to tell Fang Qingyun about Jiang Han's plan B and ask for his opinion. Although Li Rui knew that he had offended Fang Qingyun under Bo Yubing's reminder, he still put his personal grudges aside for now.
Ten minutes later, Fang Qingyun finished listening to the main content of plan B. She frowned and said, "Her plan of paying based on ticket income sounds very novel, but it's not intuitive. What 30%, 40%? It still needs people to calculate it themselves. Can you ask her to give me a detailed payment report and write down the specific figures in the form? That way, it'll be clear at a glance. Also, her down payment is only 200 million yuan, which is a bit too little. Everyone's basic requirement is at least 500 million yuan. Can you ask her to think about it again and see if she can pay more? I'm still very busy, so I can't talk to you anymore. Can you please go and talk to her again? "
Li Rui was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. This Plan B was already the last plan that Jiang Han could accept. There were some aspects that could be negotiated, but the leeway was definitely not big. For example, the down payment was 200 million. He was afraid that he could only negotiate 250 million at most. He was afraid that even 300 million would not be acceptable to Jiang Han. However, Fang Qingyun opened his mouth like a lion and asked for 500 million at once. How many domestic investors could take out 500 million at once? Wasn't Fang Qingyun making things difficult for them? What's more hateful was that he didn't even bother to calculate the figures himself. Was it difficult to calculate the revenue of 65 million yuan multiplied by 30% or 40%? Even a primary school graduate would be able to give a rough estimate, right? Fang Qingyun was simply nitpicking and deliberately finding fault with him. Thinking about Bo Yubing's reminder, her heart trembled. Was he targeting Jiang Han, or was he targeting her?
Fang Qingyun saw that his expression was gloomy. He neither spoke nor left. She smiled slightly and persuaded him, "Do you think it's too troublesome to travel back and forth? Xiao Rui, you have to know that there are many details that need to be discussed when cooperating with the local government. There aren't many projects that can be completed in one go. We discussed a project before, and we negotiated with the investor for the location of the project for more than a month. We had a meeting almost every day. That's why we can't be afraid of trouble. Even if it's troublesome, we have to do it. After all, our county needs to expand and strengthen the business of attracting investment. As for you, you'll have to work hard. When the project is completed, I'll give you a reward. Haha, go ahead. "
Li Rui said expressionlessly, "I don't think it's troublesome to travel back and forth. I have a good personal relationship with President Jiang. I know her bottom line. She said that the down payment is 200 million yuan, so it's impossible for it to be increased to 500 million yuan. At most, it'll be 50 million yuan. That's why I think you shouldn't think too much about it. Before I came, she told me that this is the final proposal. If the county still doesn't accept it, she can only return home. "
Fang Qingyun sneered and said, "What does she mean by that? Is she threatening our county? If she doesn't know, you can tell her that it's fine if she doesn't invest in Fairy Cave. There are many people who want to invest in Fairy Cave. "
At this moment, Li Rui was so angry that he wanted to slap the table and fall out with him. Was this something that a county party secretary could say? Was this something that a county party secretary could do? How could he let his personal feelings affect his decisions and obstruct business investment? He only cared about his personal feelings and ignored the development of the county's tourism industry and social and economic development? What's more, Jiang Han's words were not a threat. She was just expressing her anger and helplessness if the two proposals were rejected. He actually thought that it was a threat. Rather than saying that he was deliberately distorting Jiang Han's words, it was more like a declaration of power to himself.
"Alright, the kind and friendly Big Brother Fang from before is gone from now on!"
Li Ruixin thought. He couldn't wait to contact Jiang Han and ask her to return to her hometown and stop investing. Then he could watch how Fang Qingyun and the others would find a more generous investor who could pay 500 million yuan at once. But thinking of his identity and responsibility, he couldn't really do that. He still had to try his best to promote a win-win situation between Jiang Han and the county. He patiently argued and said, "Manager Jiang is not threatening. She just thinks that if the two proposals are rejected by our county, then she can't see the county's sincerity. In that case, she can only go back and stop investing."
Fang Qingyun laughed and said, "She's thinking too much. Plan B hasn't been rejected yet. Didn't I ask you to go back and discuss the price with her? Tell her not to be too pessimistic. The county will definitely show all its sincerity. We also hope that she can show the greatest sincerity. The county still welcomes her to buy the scenic spots. "
Li Rui secretly sighed when he heard him speak in a bureaucratic tone. He nodded and said, "Well, I'll go find her now. Secretary, you can continue with your work." He didn't finish speaking and walked to the door.
Fang Qingyun watched him leave with a faint smile. When he walked out, her face instantly darkened and she muttered something.
Li Rui didn't contact Jiang Han through the phone. Instead, he drove directly to the Huangting Hotel and told her about Fang Qingyun's new request in her room.
Jiang Han smiled bitterly and said, "I can prepare the form that Secretary Fang mentioned as soon as possible for him to look at, but I really can't increase the down payment. I can't even transfer an extra hundred million yuan, let alone an extra three hundred million yuan. Moreover, if the down payment changes, the proportion of payment based on ticket revenue will change and need to be calculated again. When Secretary Fang sees that the proportion of payment has decreased, won't he be dissatisfied with it? "
Li Rui felt extremely guilty and said, "I'm sorry. If I knew that the county would make things difficult for your investment, I wouldn't have let you come to the county for an inspection."
Jiang Han casually raised her hand and put it on his arm. She looked at him apologetically and said softly, "Why are you apologizing? It was my idea to come to the county for an inspection. What does it have to do with you? Moreover, it's not always successful to inspect an investment. In the past, there were cases where I had to give up halfway. Who can I blame? Blame the local government? Or blame myself? I can't blame anyone! Investment is like business. You only look at the results, not the process. Even if this Shuanghe investment fails, I won't take it to heart. I'll just treat it as a visit to an old friend. Haha. "She smiled sweetly and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She was incomparably beautiful.
Li Rui sighed and said, "It's a pity that your old friend is of low status and can't help much …" He suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "How about this, you go back first. When I'm in power in Shuanghe, you can come back to invest. At that time, I'll personally help you get the project." After he said that, he remembered that his boss, Song Chaoyang, was no longer in Qingyang. Although the old fox, Yu Heping, no longer hated him, he might not help him. In just one or two years, would he be able to become the leader of the government or the county committee? Unfortunately, he had already said it to Jiang Han. It was too late to change his mind.
Jiang Han couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course, that's the best. But I really don't want to come here for nothing …" She paused and took a deep breath as if she had made a big decision and said, "How about this, I'll take a step back and increase the down payment to 250 million. The annual payment will be slightly lower. It depends on whether Secretary Fang can accept it. If he still can't accept it, I can only wait for you to be in power. Haha."
Li Rui nodded. Her new price was the same as what he had expected. It was an increase of 50 million. This should be the last amount of money she had. It was impossible for her to increase it by another 10 million. If Fang Qingyun couldn't accept this price, then they could only break up. He asked with concern, "If you take out another 50 million, will the company and other investment channels still have money? Also, 50 million is not a lot for those officials who are eager for quick success. I don't think they will be satisfied. You have to listen to me. Just don't add more money. That's it. If you can't do it, just leave. "
Jiang Han said, "It's barely enough. You don't have to worry. Just give it to Secretary Fang."
… …
After leaving Huangting Hotel, Li Rui didn't go to the county committee to report the latest change to Fang Qingyun. He had already been humiliated by Fang Qingyun once. How could he be willing to show his warm face to Fang Qingyun for the second time in one day? Was he addicted to being humiliated? Even if he wanted to report it, he would wait until tomorrow. If he went too fast, it would seem that he and Jiang Han were begging the county committee. That would put him in a passive position.
