Chapter 90: Meet Mayor Chen

The Tianjin Municipal Government is on the West Hotel Road, not far from the water park where Shi Yifei lives. It takes more than ten minutes to drive.

After tedious registration and reporting procedures, Li Bin entered this twelve-story towering and solemn office building.

Taking the elevator straight to the top floor, Secretary Wang was already waiting at the elevator entrance, and Li Bin politely shook hands with Secretary Wang:

"Director Wang, I'm working hard."

Secretary Wang is not old, only in his thirties. He was originally an officer of the Municipal Government Propaganda Office. After being elected as secretary by Chen Yuehui, he rose to prominence. In just a few years, he had been promoted from an ordinary section chief to the director of the Secretary-General Office of the Municipal Government, and was Mayor Chen's full-time secretary.

Secretary Wang led Li Bin to the secretary's room outside the mayor's office, and habitually raised his wrist and looked at the watch. It was 8:55 minutes away, five minutes away from the agreed time. Secretary Wang asked Li Bin to sit on the sofa:

"President Shi, please wait for a moment, and I'll go and ask for instructions."

Li Bin nodded: "Thank you, Director Wang, I'm working hard."

In enterprises, the secretary is the boss’s body and his own, and even more so in government agencies. The secretary is definitely the leader’s loyalty. When he goes out, he is the spokesperson of the leader and is also the key target for those grassroots officials to curry favor with.

After a moment, Secretary Wang had already turned back and said to Li Bin with a smile:

"Mr. Shi, 'Boss' invites you in. He is in a good mood today."

"Boss" is the name of the leader privately by the staff. He knew that Chen Yuehui was going to meet Li Bin today. Secretary Wang had studied Li Bin's information overnight. Otherwise, as Li Bin's identity as a businessman, Secretary Wang would not be allowed to go to the elevator to welcome him personally. That was the treatment that only the bosses of various departments in the city could enjoy. Moreover, when facing the very private title of Li Bin's name Chen Yuehui as "Boss", his intention to show kindness and closeness has been revealed, not to mention that there is another obvious hint later, "He is in a good mood today", which is equivalent to telling you directly that if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as it is not too much, there is no problem.

Li Bin understood it and took Secretary Wang's hand and said softly:

"Brother Wang, when will you have time? Let's sit together."

Li Bin beats the snake and goes with the stick, and even changes the title of Secretary Wang to the very close "Brother Wang".

Secretary Wang smiled. This young man is not simple.

"Okay, I look forward to it."

Li Bin smiled and nodded, not daring to delay for too long, and walked quickly towards the office.

When I entered Chen Yuehui's spacious office, I saw that Chen Yuehui had already sat down on the hospitality sofa, but I was still holding a document in my hand and studying it carefully.

Li Bin bowed slightly:

"Hello Mayor Chen."

At this time, he no longer called Chen Yuehui Uncle Chen, but the official Mayor Chen. One reason was that he was in a different location, and the other was that he wanted to say that what he was talking about was official business.

Chen Yuehui also heard the change in Li Bin's name. He raised his head from the document, took off his reading glasses and put them on the document, pointed to the sofa on one side and said:

"Xiaojun is here, please sit down."

For this nephew, Chen Yuehui didn't even move his butt.

Li Bin bowed slightly again:

"Thank you, Mayor Chen."

After saying that, he sat on the sofa where Chen Yuehui pointed.

Secretary Wang brewed a cup of tea for Li Bin, filled Chen Yuehui's water cup with water, and retreated.

Chen Yuehui grabbed the Chinese on the coffee table and threw it to Li Bin. He did not politely and said directly:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Bin hurriedly stepped forward and lit a cigarette for Chen Yuehui. Then he lit the cigarette himself, staring at Chen Yuehui with a serious expression and said:

"Mayor Chen, our Love Industry wants to start a low-rent housing project and want to listen to your guidance."

Chen Yuehui smiled slightly and waved his hand:

"Just say it if you have something to do, don't give me that one. I have been friends with your dad for more than ten years, so there is no need to tell me about your specific thoughts."

Li Bin didn't slap his little flattery, and he didn't feel ashamed. He smiled and continued:

"It's like this Mayor Chen. I went to the residential area behind Wangdingdi Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market some time ago because of some things. The living conditions of the residents there can be described as shocking. I think there should be many situations like Wangdingdi in a city like ours, so I started the construction of low-rent housing, but it was quite difficult to operate in specific ways, so I came to seek help from the municipal government."

Chen Yuehui's expression also became solemn. Although he was not a grassroots, he also knew some basic living conditions of grassroots. When he started his term, he had gone deep into ordinary residential areas to inspect the situation many times. However, his secretary had made careful arrangements in advance. If he wanted to truly understand the living conditions of ordinary citizens, he could only analyze some from the surface.

The city also has specific arrangements for the construction of low-rent housing, but if it is implemented in detail, it is just a thunder and rain. State-owned construction companies have only built a few low-rent housing symbolically. The significance of coping with inspections is far greater than its actual use significance. Some of the approved low-rent housing land has been developed into commercial housing by construction companies. Everyone is used to this kind of thing. After corrections several times, they have no effect. In the end, they turn a blind eye and let it go.

Chen Yuehui took a deep breath of cigarette and savored Li Bin's words.

It was shocking, and another shocking. The last time this kid promoted the amendment of a national bill. What kind of shock would this shock bring to himself? Chen Yuehui and Shi Yifei had a close relationship with each other, and he knew very well about Li Bin's promotion of the amendment to the Transportation Law behind the scenes. If he had not become interested in Li Bin, how could he have met such a young man?

If the situation is as "shocking" as Li Bin described, it means that the situation in front of him is already very serious.

Chen Yuehui thought about it for a while, stared at Li Bin and said:

“More details.”

Li Bin nodded and said:

"According to the statistics of employees sent by our company, the population in this city who needs to rent a house is about 3 million to 5 million. In addition to some people with higher incomes or relatives and friends who can defect to each other, they also need at least 300,000 low-rent housing units, that is, more than 4,000 buildings."

Chen Yuehui was surprised and blurted out:

"so much?"

What he saw in his eyes was a scene of singing and dancing and peaceful times. How could he expect so many people to have such a big demand for housing? If this statistics are true, it only means that our cadres are too bureaucratic and are moving further and further away from the most basic masses.

"Is this statistics true?"

"Mayor Chen, you should know that businessmen are pursuing profit. Before we make a decision, the market analysis department will make a detailed feasibility report. We believe that the numbers we counted will not be too far from the real situation."

Chen Yuehui's brows frowned, and he signaled Li Bin to continue.

Li Bin sorted out his ideas and continued:

"I plan to build all of these 4,000 buildings within five years. Such a large project should also alleviate some of the employment pressure in the city and drive corresponding industrial development. However, with the strength of our company, it is very difficult to operate such a large project and requires strong support from the government."

"What support do you need?" Chen Yuehui had officially treated Li Bin as a dish. Seeing Li Bin's two moves, it was obvious that this kid had a broad vision and had a lot of hiding in his heart.

"First, I need policy support. Before low-rent housing projects are profitable, I hope the government will relax in industry, commerce, taxation, etc.; Second, I need government support in land transfer. You know, if the land is listed and auctioned, it is not affordable for low-rent housing projects. I don't want good locations. As long as the transportation is more convenient, it doesn't matter if it is far away. Third, I need bank loan support. Although our company can raise some funds on its own, it is still far from enough for such a large project. Of course, I will also open up other channels for financing."

In fact, Li Bin still made some ambushings. At least at this stage, he is not so nervous about funds. Moreover, the entire project needs to be constructed in stages. By the time the second batch of low-rent housing is built, the first batch of low-rent housing should have been delivered for use, which will produce certain benefits. After this rollback, Li Bin's financial pressure will not be very high, but the period of funds being retained is relatively long. If the country can share part of this cycle, it would of course be the best.

Seeing that Li Bin's words had ended, Chen Yuehui's brows soothed:

"If you look back and submit a detailed report on this matter, we will discuss it collectively."

This is the result. Li Bin smiled slightly, took out a project approval report from the folder he brought with him and handed it over. He ordered Secretary Liu to drive it out overnight. He also read it in detail, without any major mistakes.

Chen Yuehui laughed: "It seems you are well prepared." Chen Yuehui almost blurted out the words "You boy". Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Can the young man in front of him really treat him as a child?
