Chapter 1048 Reason and Price
After Wei Shang put down the phone, he thought about it and decided to call Da D, because in his opinion, this matter might just be Da D's sister-in-law trying to show goodwill to Wei Nong, so she acted together with Gao Qiqiang.
"Mr. Zhao, haven't you just been back for two days? Are you calling now because there's something you forgot to ask me to do?" When Big D received Wei Shang's call, he thought that Mr. Zhao had forgotten something, so he asked quickly.
"My sister-in-law is in charge of Wanli Industry in the Special Zone. I heard recently that she is going to invest in Handong? Do you know the situation?" Wei Shang asked.
"This matter? I heard her talk about it. It seems to be a man named Gao Qiqiang. I heard that he was following Master Wei Nong and wanted to add some achievements for Master Wei Nong. Isn't the main evaluation of officials in the mainland now based on investment attraction or something like that?" Big D said with a smile.
"Are you sure all the funds used are from Wanli Industrial in the mainland? This requires the approval of Second Uncle Lian before we can move forward, right?" Wei Shang asked curiously.
"Master Hu also agreed! We just had a meeting yesterday, and the eight gangs have already known about this matter. Everyone wants to do their part for Master Wei Nong! So they have drawn out a lot of funds to invest, and the total amount is about 100 million. Don't worry, it's all clean and there will be no stain!" said Big D.
"You guys are really willing to do anything to flatter others!" Wei Shang sighed.
"Haha, Master Wei Shang, what you said is true. Your police system can't do it either! Han Bin tried it before, but the mainland police system didn't dare to accept it, so it ended up in nothing!" Big D said with a smile.
Big D didn't mind Wei Shang's accusation that they were flattering the Zhao family. After all, who could flatter the Zhao family? If it weren't for the fact that they were part of the Tianqiao Gang and the close relationship between the Lian family and the Zhao family, they wouldn't be able to flatter the Zhao family even if they wanted to.
Moreover, they couldn't even flatter Zhao Cheng, and at most they could only flatter the Zhao family's children. So when Big D was accused of flattery, he didn't feel ashamed, but proud!
"I was wondering why there was a report last year! You can get some cars next time. The police system here in the mainland is short of cars. Money involves bribery, but cars won't. Especially if you want to do business in the mainland, it will be good for you if the police take the initiative to stand on your side. After all, I'm not as good as the current county magistrate!" Wei Shang also said.
"Understood. I'll call my wife right away. We'll donate a batch to the SAR police first, and then another batch to Handong. We'll cover the cost!" Big D was quite tactful. Besides, how much money could donating a few cars bring in? Compared to the hidden profits generated, it was a drop in the bucket!
"Okay, I'll tell Wei Nong about this. You can send a representative over there to increase the manpower! He just went there and needs these to show the people below!" Wei Shang said.
"Okay!" Big D agreed readily.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Shang couldn't help but smile when he thought about how the people in Tianqiao Club were flattering Wei Nong so fiercely, and then he dialed Wei Nong's number.
"That's the way it is! So I think you should do this in a high-profile manner! After all, my father often says that you should be low-key in life and high-key in work! Now that there is such a good thing, of course we must let the entire Jingzhou City know. Although you, Zhao Weinong, are only a secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you are also related to the national economy and people's livelihood! And if their investment is really successful, it will definitely play a positive role in promoting the development of Jingzhou!" Wei Shang said.
"I've noticed that your career has been on the rise recently! This guy speaks in a lot of ways, and his words are more comprehensive than I thought!" Wei Nong said with a smile.
"Hey, don't mention it. I've been dragged to meetings a lot recently! And my dad criticized me a lot for not being careful because of the incident when I went to South Korea! It almost made me fall out with my dad!" Wei Shang said with a smile.
"You? You dare to turn against your dad? When my dad glared at you, you were as obedient as a quail! And you still turn against me! Okay, stop flattering yourself. I'm breathing heavily after I praised you a few times! I get it, I'm hanging up. I have to tell Mayor Li that this matter really needs some fun!" Wei Nong hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
"Really? They call me over when they need me, and quickly dismiss me when they don't! I'm just blacklisted on the international network! Do they really treat me like this?" Wei Shang had a bitter smile on his face and kept muttering to himself.
As for Wei Nong, he went to the government compound to find the mayor.
Arriving at the mayor's office, Wei Nong gave a detailed introduction to the situation.
"Secretary Wei Nong, are you serious? The scale of funds may reach 200 million?" Mayor Li stood up excitedly, walked to Wei Nong and asked.
"Yes, it should be about the same! But it's not certain!" Wei Nong didn't dare to guarantee it, as he hadn't confirmed it with them yet.
"Even if it's half, it's enough! We have never seen such a large investment in Jingzhou!" Mayor Li said.
"Actually, this is not a lot! According to my estimation, this 100 million may only be enough to build a building!" Wei Nong said.
"More than that, right? What kind of building would require so much money?" Mayor Li wondered.
Indeed, in mainland China today, 100 million yuan is a huge sum of money! Building a six-story department store might only cost around 60 million yuan!
"It's impossible to just build a single building, right? Since you want to build a department store, there must be enough supporting facilities! Let them find a designer in Mingzhu, and strive to make it a landmark building in our Jingzhou City after it is completed! Otherwise, how can it be worthy of Mingzhu's investment?" Wei Nong said with a smile.
Mayor Li looked at Wei Nong, who was full of confidence and composure, and felt that he was really old and his ambition was not as big as that of the young secretary in front of him.
"Okay, okay, okay. You have the final say on the investment you have brought in! Just go for it with confidence, I will provide you with guarantees! If this is done, our entire Jingzhou City will be honored!" Mayor Li said with a smile.
This is indeed true. After all, this is the situation now. As long as there is industrial investment, it can drive the development of the entire city. Wouldn’t that make the entire Jingzhou City proud?
After receiving Mayor Li's assurance, Wei Nong felt relieved. After exchanging a few polite words, he said goodbye and left Mayor Li's office.
After a moment's thought, he headed back to the hotel where Gao Qiqiang and the others were staying. This matter had to be finalized as soon as possible. It involved a lot of work, including site selection, review, design, construction, and so on! There was still a lot to do, and if it could be completed soon, it would be a safe bet.
After arriving at the hotel, Wei Nong did not wait for Gao Qiqiang to come down to pick him up. Instead, he and Lian Sucheng went directly to the representative of Gao Qiqiang and others.
