Mu Shuang took out a card with a golden string tied to it from her purse. She swiped the access card and pulled Li Rui inside. The two turned left and right inside. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the door with the "CEO's Office" sign hanging on it. Mu Shuang knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response, she pulled Li Rui into the room.
Li Rui was already a little confused after being pulled around by Mu Shuang. Now that he entered the CEO's office, he was even more confused. After entering, he looked around and saw a large office table in the depths. There was a middle-aged man sitting on it, looking over with a smile. When he saw the man's face, he was shocked. Aiya, wasn't this Old Mu?
That man was Mu Shuang's father, Mu Jingzu. When he saw Li Rui enter the room, he stood up with a smile and walked around the large office table to Li Rui. He extended his hand in a friendly manner and said, "Young friend, we meet again. Welcome to this place!"
Li Rui shook his hand and asked in confusion, "Uncle Mu, this … this Qi Tian Corporation is yours?"
Mu Jingzu smiled and nodded. He pulled him to the guest sofa and sat down. Then, he returned to the large office table and took a notebook. He sat down beside him and said, "I asked Xiao Shuang to invite you over. First, to let you tour my company. Second, to thank you heavily. This is what I promised you last night. Accept it. "As he spoke, he opened the notebook and took out a check, placing it on the coffee table in front of Li Rui.
Li Rui turned and glanced at the check. The number was exactly 15 million. It was the same as what Mu Jingzu promised last night. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Mu Shuang and said, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have come. You lied to me."
Mu Jingzu grinned and said, "I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you the truth. Accept it. It's not much anyway. "
Li Rui turned to look at Mu Jingzu and said with a solemn expression, "Uncle, I've already made myself clear last night. Mu Shuang is my friend. My friend's family is in trouble, so I helped her out because of my code of brotherhood. If you use money to thank me afterward, you're blaspheming my friendship with Mu Shuang. Besides, I wasn't the only one who did it last night. I didn't do anything, so you don't have to thank me. "
Looking at his expression and hearing his tone, Mu Jingzu knew that he wasn't pretending to be polite. He really didn't want to accept the money, so he didn't force him. He took back the check, tore it in half, and put it back into his notebook. Frowning, he asked, "I heard from Xiao Shuang that you came to Guangzhou to participate in an investment fair. Can you give me a detailed introduction of your situation? I recently had the idea of transferring the factory to the mainland. The cost of land and labor here in Guangdong Province is too high. I can no longer afford it. "
Li Rui was surprised and happy. If the CEO of Qi Tian Corporation could invest in Shuanghe, then why would he need to hire a translator to go to the international investment fair to try his luck? He immediately explained his original intention for coming to Guangzhou, then carefully introduced Shuanghe's geographical location, investment environment, and geographical advantages. He also talked about the investment fair reform he was doing in the county as the deputy head of the county. In any case, he talked about everything that was beneficial to Mu Jingzu's investment consideration.
After listening, Mu Jingzu muttered, "It's a county under a prefecture-level city … Uh, if it's a prefecture-level city, I can still consider it, but the county under it is …"
From what Li Rui heard, it seemed like he didn't consider the county-level administrative region when investing. Of course, this was also something that the majority of large enterprises avoided as much as possible. It was true that the county-level administrative region and the city-level administrative region were too far apart. Whether it was in terms of transportation, location, manpower, policies, or other supporting industrial resources, they couldn't be compared. This was especially so for a county-level impoverished county like Shuanghe, which was right next to the Taihang Mountains and didn't have very developed transportation. The quality of the population was relatively low, and there was almost no value in investing in a factory there. Even slightly better enterprises wouldn't consider settling there. It was reasonable for Mu Jingzu to reject Shuanghe because of this. However, he could choose not to invest in Shuanghe, but he could invest in Qingyang City. Li Rui had a good friend in Qingyang City who was in charge of investment fair. If she could persuade Mu Jingzu to invest in Qingyang City, it could be considered as adding to her achievements.
"CEO Mu, you can choose not to consider our Shuanghe County, but if you really want to invest in a factory in the mainland, I suggest you carefully consider our upper-level city, Qingyang City …"
Li Rui then introduced Qingyang City's environmental policies in detail. Finally, he said, "If you have the intention to invest, I can let the director of Qingyang City's Investment Promotion Agency talk to you personally. She will definitely be able to help you get the biggest preferential policies."
Mu Jingzu smiled and said, "You don't have any understanding of our company, yet you're already in a hurry to rope us in to invest and settle there. You even threw out your biggest trump card in your words. Hehe, this kind of investment can easily make your side fall into a passive position."
Li Rui looked ashamed. What Mu Jingzu said was right. He had directly hit his weak spot. He was too anxious to attract investment, so he didn't let go of any boss who might have the intention to invest. Right from the start, he had taken out the best sincerity and conditions, hoping that the other party would be moved to inspect the environment. However, he had unknowingly neglected the possibility that this would put Shuanghe County in a passive position. When the other party saw that you were in a hurry, they would naturally take the opportunity to control you.
However, Li Rui had no other choice. Shuanghe County's social and economic development was really too backward, and it was really too poor. It could only rely on investment to drive the development of the industry and commerce in the county. Therefore, it could only respect the big bosses as if they were gods. If Shuanghe County was so rich that it flowed with oil, cities like Beijing and Shanghai naturally wouldn't need to bow and scrape to investors. They could even control and restrict them from high above.
It wasn't just cities. People were the same. When people were poor, they had low self-esteem and low aspirations, and they had no choice but to lower their heads and walk. When people were rich, it was different. They had a broader vision and stronger self-confidence. They could even walk with their heads held high.
"Let me introduce you to Qi Tian Corporation's situation!"
Mu Shuang didn't wait for her father's instructions and took the initiative to introduce Qi Tian Corporation to Li Rui.
Qi Tian Corporation's full name was "Qi Tian Technology Corporation". It was a high-tech company that specialized in the R&D and manufacturing of computers, laptops, communications, consumer electronics, and other 3C products. It was involved in automobile control systems, digital channels, cloud computing services, and the development and application of new materials and new energy. It was established in Guangzhou in the 1980s and began to develop rapidly at the beginning of this century. It had more than 100,000 employees and top domestic and international customers. It was one of the country's largest technology manufacturing service providers in the electronics industry. It was ranked fifth in the country's top 100 export list of domestic enterprises.
After Li Rui heard this, he was inexplicably shocked. Even his liver was trembling. When he saw the Qi Tian Building and found out that Qi Tian Corporation was Mu Jingzu's business, he realized that Mu Jingzu was very impressive. He reckoned that he was one of the top entrepreneurs in Guangzhou. Now that he heard Mu Shuang's introduction, he realized that his thinking was still too petty and narrow-minded. With Qi Tian Corporation's ability, Mu Jingzu would not only be one of the top in Guangzhou and Guangdong Province, but also one of the richest people in the country. If he could attract his investment, he could totally ignore the international investment fair. Unfortunately, Mu Jingzu didn't care about the county at all. He could only try his best to urge him to go to Qingyang.
"CEO Mu, the reason why I'm showing my trump card like you said is to show the sincerity of our city and county government departments. Even if we're restricted by this, we'll accept it. If you really have the intention to invest in a city in the mainland, then I hope you can consider Qingyang. When it's convenient for you, you can even go over for an on-site inspection. Qingyang City has made great strides in the development of investment promotion in recent years. It has also attracted many well-known international and domestic enterprises to settle down. Foreign investors such as Malaysia's Huang Group, Santa Fe Pharmaceuticals, and other high-quality enterprises, and domestic investors such as Hong Kong's East Star International Hotel Management Group. These enterprises have all developed very well after settling down in Qingyang City. You can see it when you go over for an inspection. "
Mu Jingzu nodded and said, "To be honest, among the few cities in the mainland that I've considered, Qingyang wasn't one of them. In fact, I've never even heard of this city. But since you mentioned it today, then I'll consider it. Just now, you mentioned a leader in charge of investment promotion in the city. I can get the vice president in charge of the development of the group to contact him and have a chat. "
Li Rui thought to himself, Since I've caught you, the boss of the group, I can't let you off so easily. I want to facilitate a direct conversation between you and Gu Yingtong. If I bypass you and let the vice president contact Gu Yingtong, then it'll be less of a favor and more formal. It won't be beneficial for the Qi Tian Corporation to settle down in Qingyang. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "That director of the investment promotion office is both my teacher and my friend. She has a lot of charisma and at the same time, she's also familiar with the various policies in the city. If she directly talks to you, CEO Mu, she might be able to directly facilitate you to settle down in Qingyang. Do you want to give it a try?"
Mu Jingzu laughed when he heard this. He joked, "You're speaking up for him like this. Don't tell me he'll agree to give you half of the bonus after the matter is settled?"
When Li Rui heard this, he knew that Mu Jingzu had agreed. Of course, it was mainly to give him face. He was very happy inside. He smiled foolishly and said, "I'll be satisfied if she treats me to a meal."
Mu Jingzu said, "Alright, I'll give you a name card. You can give him the contact information on it and let him make an appointment with my secretary first. When I'm free, I'll be happy to talk to him."
After discussing this matter, Mu Jingzu looked at his watch and instructed Mu Shuang, "Alright, I'm going to have a meeting soon. Show Xiao Li around the group. We'll meet again later."
Li Rui and Mu Shuang looked at each other. They stood up and shook hands with Mu Jingzu. The two of them walked out of the office one after another.
Standing in the corridor outside, Mu Shuang whispered to Li Rui, "Are you out of your mind? You don't even want 15 million yuan in front of you? If you don't want it, you can take it and give it to me. Recently, I've been thinking of importing and modifying a Kawasaki. Hey, do you know about Kawasaki? "
