Chapter 172
Qingquan Mayor Meng Xuede revealed his willingness to contact Dashang Real Estate in person, so naturally he could not neglect it. After making an appointment, Qian Wanli brought Hu Guoming and Zhou Bin and set off early in the weekend to Qingquan to pay homage to Meng Xuede.
Chen Liyuan did not plan to go back to Qingquan. After all, he didn't have to see Meng Xuede, but Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming wanted to take this opportunity to visit the old man Chen Jingtang, and Chen Li could not be absent.
Chen Li didn't need to see Meng Xuede, so there was no need to get up early. At nine o'clock, he pulled up Chen Tong, who had been yelling to go back to Qingquan to see his grandfather, and took Chen Tong's car to rush back to Qingquan.
Although the old man has been retired for ten years, he is not idle either. Chen Li called back and found out that the old man had an event to participate in at noon. He called his father and his mother. There was no time at noon. Chen Li took Chen Tong directly to Xiaoshi Street behind Renmin Road to eat the most famous beef soup in Qingquan.
I received a call from Zhou Bin at noon and had a pleasant meeting with Meng Xuede in the morning. With Meng Xuede's direct interference, Tian Kangping relaxed and agreed to use bank interest rates to deal with subsequent debt issues. Zhou Bin also proposed to Meng Xuede on behalf of the commercial company that he would invest in the construction of a large shopping center while continuing to build a Qingquan Building.
In addition to lunch, the city also arranged a visit in the afternoon. Qian Wanli, Hu Guoming, Zhou Bin and Zhou Dahai were still unable to escape for the time being, so Chen Li accompanied Chen Tong to casually walk around the business district of Renmin Middle Road, Qingquan City.
In 2001, the urban area of Qingquan City was only 300,000, and the main commercial facilities were concentrated in a small core area at the junction of Renmin Middle Road and Jiefang Road, with an area of only about one square kilometer.
The Qingquan Building, which started construction in 1997 and was suspended indefinitely in 1998, is located in this area, next to the only two large department stores and Hualian Commercial Building in Qingquan City.
As a native Qingquan native, Chen Li could walk Renmin Road and Jiefang Road with his eyes closed, so he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of Qingquan Building. Even before Hu Guoming came, he entered the semi-closed Qingquan Building and looked carefully, and had long considered how to operate it if he came to take over Qingquan Building.
However, Xinchaorui has just risen and is still weak. At the same time, he also knows that the problems of Qingquan Building and Hongji Real Estate are very complicated. Unexpectedly, he will take over the Qingquan Building in the end through Hu Guoming and Dacheng Construction.
"Chen Li..."
Chen Lizheng looked up and squinted his eyes at Qingquan Building, which had been wrapped in two years of hand-to-hand and surround. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him and looked down. Unexpectedly, his cousin Chen Ying and his fiancé Jiang Bo were coming out of the curtain below Qingquan Building and waved to him and Chen Tong.
Since the last time he had been exposed in Chen Bing's wedding room decoration, Chen Li has no good feelings for his future cousin, but Jiang Bo and Chen Ying look like they have nothing to do with themselves and have a clear conscience. It seems that there are really decoration workers carrying them on their backs.
Jiang Bo and Chen Ying were actually in Qingquan, and walked out of the construction site of Qingquan Building. Chen Li thought to himself that Jiang Bo and Chen Ying must have heard some noise before they came over to see the scene.
Dashang Real Estate Investment Fund wants to raise more than 20 million yuan for the continued construction of Qingquan Building in Qingquan. Zhou Dahai needs to contact investors in Qingquan coal circle in advance. It is not surprising that any news has reached the ears of his cousin Chen Ying and Jiang Bo.
"Why don't you tell us when you go back to Qingquan?" The eldest cousin Chen Ying walked over and complained, stepping on her high heels.
"The company is in Qingquan. Chen Tong was yelling to come back to see her grandfather, so she came back together. I didn't expect you were there too." Chen Li said with a smile.
"It's Qian Wanli, Hu Guoming and Mayor Meng Xuede?" Jiang Bo asked, "Is Dashang Real Estate sure to take over the subsequent development and construction of Qingquan Building this time?"
It is not surprising that Jiang Bo can know that Dashang Real Estate takes over Qingquan Building. Chen Li didn't expect that he knew everything about Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming meeting Meng Xuede today.
"I don't have the right to follow Meng Xuede, I can't say this." Chen Li was afraid of Jiang Bo, so Chen Ying tangled the matter on him, shrugged her shoulders, and directly wiped out everything from him.
At this point, the construction of Qingquan Building will be mainly divided into three parts: one is the decoration of the facade, one is the installation of internal mechanical and electrical facilities, and the other is the decoration of internal public areas.
This has not taken into account the overall decoration of the shopping mall.
Guobang Real Estate has one business in interior decoration. Although Zhou Bin represented the commercial company this morning and officially mentioned the investment in shopping malls to the city. Jiang Bo should not have received any news yet, the decoration of the public area inside Qingquan Building is also a big business for Guobang Real Estate.
Jiang Bo seemed to believe that Chen Li had no say, but he did not hide their plans today from Chen Li, saying: "Meng Xuede's secretary-general Zhao Yang, who has been friends with Chen Ying's father for many years, only then did he know that Mr. Qian, Mr. Hu and the others came to Qingquan today. Chen Ying's father also wanted to invite Secretary Zhao to come forward and invite Mr. Qian at night. Mr. Hu and the others had dinner together. Chen Ying and I came to the front first..."
Chen Li subconsciously wanted to knock on his head. He also knew that Zhao Yang was from the provincial coal system and was transferred to the Qingquan Municipal Government for work seven or eight years ago. Unexpectedly, he is now the Secretary-General of the Qingquan Municipal Government.
The secretary-general of the municipal government directly serves the mayor. Qian Wanli, Hu Guoming and others meet Meng Xuede today, and they must have contact with Zhao Yang.
Chen Li patted his forehead to avoid the trouble of continuing to get around, so he said to Jiang Bo directly: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Hu and others said that they could take time out in the afternoon, so they might have to go over to meet grandpa..."
"Is that?" Jiang Bo was full of joy when he heard the news. Even if he invited Zhao Yang, Secretary General of Qingquan Municipal Government, to arrange a dinner party in the evening, and Hu Guoming attended, he would just help everyone sit down for a meal to lay some preparations for further contact. But if Qian Wanli was Qian, Hu Guoming took the initiative to visit the old man, and let the old man say a word at the dinner party, the weight would be completely different.
Chen Ying took out her cell phone and called his father to talk about this. Chen Li and the others stood on the bustling street and could vaguely hear his uncle talking excitedly on the other end of the phone, and immediately set off from Shangdu and rushed to Qingquan.
***************************
After rushing the old man to go back after the event, Chen Li, Chen Tong, Jiang Bo and Chen Ying walked from the city center back to the independent courtyard in the Qingquan Coal Industry Group's family area.
At this time, my uncle Chen Xingbang had already come.
Although the old man Chen Jingtang has been alive for a lifetime, he is now over 70 years old. Living alone in Qingquan is inevitable. Now there are many children and grandchildren. Although they have not gathered together today, Chen Li and the others have still added a lot of peace to the courtyard.
The old man was invited to the house by everyone.
Chen Tong sat down with the old man in his arms, holding his arms and asking questions. His uncle Chen Xingbang and Jiang Bo still pulled Chen Li to ask about Hongji Real Estate. Chen Li also talked to them about something that was not painful.
About half an hour later, Qian Wanli, Hu Guoming, Zhou Dahai and Zhou Bin came by car; and Zhao Yang, the secretary-general of the municipal government, was barely considered the old man's old subordinates, also came to visit him.
Zhao Yang is much younger than Chen Xingbang, just as he was just in his forties. When his old man worked in Qingquan Coal Industry Group in his early years, Zhao Yang was only in his forties and had no interaction with each other. It is probably because his uncle had made new friends in Qingquan Coal Industry Group after he started the coal business.
Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming were not empty-handed, and brought a simple and exquisite Go and a set of four treasures in the study. Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming had already made preparations, knowing that the old man liked to write in his spare time, and he was not abrupt or unconventional in his preferences. Zhou Dahai and Zhao Yang only knew that they were going to visit today, so they prepared a few cans of tea and gifts.
Before, Qian Wanli had met everyone at Chen Bing’s wedding, but this was Hu Guoming’s first time. Everyone stood in the yard and enthusiastically recommended and chatted.
Chen Xingbang knew in his heart that the old man had been retreating for ten years after all. Even if he still had some influence, he had little direct interaction with Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming. Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming came to the door, it was not a matter of being flattering. It was really because of his nephew Chen Li's face.
Is Chen Li really just a small shareholder who has no say in Xinchaorui?
******************************
There were many people at night and the nanny couldn't arrange it. Chen Xingbang had already asked Jiang Bo to book a private room at Qingquan Hotel and chatted at the old man for a while. After Chen Li and his parents Chen Tong and Shen Jianping got off work from the hospital, everyone took the bus separately and rushed to Qingquan Hotel for a banquet.
Perhaps because of the presence of outsiders such as Hu Guoming, Zhao Yang, Zhou Dahai, Zhou Bin, etc., and the large round table dining in the private room, the atmosphere at the wine table was not very active.
Only Chen Tong sat between Chen Li's mother and the old man and kept talking and laughing, while the rest of them politely ate, drank, and talked about some topics in the officialdom and shopping malls.
Even if Qian Wanli and his team focus on the old man, they are all irrelevant things, such as how to maintain health, and inviting them to go to Shangdu more and other unnutritional things.
The focus of Chen Xingbang and Jiang Bo's topics is Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming.
One is a star in the real estate industry in Shangdu, and the other is the leader in the construction industry in Shangdu and even the Central Plains Province. Now it is in its prime. If Guobang Real Estate wants to develop, even if it only focuses on their every move, it can obtain a lot of useful information.
At this time, Chen Xingbang was not convenient to talk about Qingquan Building directly. The topic was unconsciously about the development and construction of Shangdong New District. Chen Xingbang took the initiative to ask Qian Wanli what he thinks about the future development of Shangdong New District.
Jinyuan International acquired a piece of land in Dongshan Town last month, and Xinchaorui Real Estate built Dongshan Huafu in Dongshan Town at the beginning of the year. This is not a secret that cannot be known to outsiders. Moreover, Guobang Real Estate's current real estate development is only one piece of land in Dongshan Town, and these news cannot be hidden from them.
Qian Wanli also directly admitted that Jinyuan International recently took a piece of land in Dongshan Town.
"It seems that Mr. Qian is full of confidence in Shangdong's development." Chen Xingbang said without any trace. Now the entire Shangdu real estate developers' eyes are gathering at Shangdong. Some of them are moving quickly, such as Qian Wanli, who have already started to pick up the land.
He was still hesitating and also a little anxious whether to obtain another piece of land within the planning scope of Shangdong New District.
On the one hand, it is mainly because Guobang's strength is not good. At present, he can barely raise 10 million yuan of funds and get a piece of land in Shangdong. However, if it is lost in his hands and cannot be developed for the time being, the pressure on Guobang will be a bit great.
If they don’t take it now, when the construction of Shangdong New District is a foregone conclusion and a large number of developers flock in, the land prices in Shangdong will surely soar. By then, they may not be able to buy any land if they take another ten or two million miles.
Qian Wanli laughed: "I don't have any confidence. I just want to put the eggs in different places. As for the prospects for Shangdong's development, I think Mr. Shen has the most say."
In this matter, the old man did have his own opinion and said: "The development of Shangdong New City is imperative. No matter who is in charge of the government, he will move the urban development of Shanghu step by step. This is an inevitable trend in the urban layout and the direction of urban development. Even Qingquan in the future, due to geographical factors and its own industrial structure adjustment, will gradually move closer to Shanghu..."
In fact, based on the old man's understanding of Luo Rongmin, he could say more affirmation. If Luo Rongmin could formally preside over the development of Shangdu City, the construction of Shangdong New District would be accelerated quickly, rather than staying at the planning level as now.
But there are some things that the old man can't say yet, and he can only say to his eldest son Chen Xingbang or his grandson Chen Li in private.
"The old man is indeed very keen. But the situation is not very clear now. Many real estate developers are just waiting and watching, and they only take a small part of the land to test the waters." Qian Wanli said with a smile.
"What Mr. Qian said is that although Shangdong's land price is relatively cheap, it also requires a lot of funds to obtain a piece of land that can be developed. If it cannot be developed in time, a large amount of funds will be trapped in the land, causing additional financial pressure, which is really unnecessary." Chen Xingbang said, and he was also hesitant and felt that there was no need to take too much risk.
Jiang Bo looked at his father-in-law's endless chat and felt anxious. Seeing that everyone was full of food and food, he could no longer suppress his eyes to Chen Xingbang, hoping to turn the topic to Qingquan Building.
Chen Xingbang asked: "Qingquan Building has been unfinished for two years. Our Guobang has no strength, otherwise he will consider taking over. Now Dashang Real Estate is sure to take over, so I don't know what plans are for money."
"Da Shang Real Estate takes over Qingquan Building and is only responsible for completing it. I will not care about any plans in the future." Qian Wanli said carelessly.
"Oh, Qingquan Building is located in the center of Qingquan City. The location is still very good. At that time, you will have to give me a discounted price to sell me a shop." Chen Xingbang continued to joke with Qian Wanli.
"Haha, Mr. Chen can discuss with your nephew Chen Li. He decided whether to rent or sell Qingquan Building." Qian Wanli made a haha and kicked the ball directly into Chen Li's arms.
"If I can make a decision, I will give my uncle ten shops," Chen Li laughed and saw the old man glaring at him, then put away his smile and said to his uncle, "After the Qingquan Building is completed, the entire lease right will be placed from Dashang Real Estate to the Xinchaorui Commercial Company, and then the investment will be carried out independently. Zhou Zheng, Chairman of Xinchaorui Commercial Company, if you want to have any business cooperation, you have to find Mr. Zhou..."
"Ahem..." Zhou Dahai slapped his lips in small sips. Seeing Chen Li kicking the ball to him, he almost choked a sip of wine. He quickly put down his wine and said, "We'll talk about this later, and I'll drink today..."
