After seeing off Fourth Uncle, the town chief took the stack of papers, pondered over them for a while, and then put them away in his drawer. 'Su, let's go take a look at the wasteland,' he said.
It was actually not far at all. Within a few minutes of walking, Cherokee arrived at the barren land in the south. The mayor rembered that when he was a child, this was still good farmland. Later, as the river next to it accumulated more and more sedint, the riverbed rose higher and higher, and the area was flooded several tis by the water. Then it slowly fell into disuse.
Now, there are piles of rubbish here and there, with weeds growing in the middle and green flies everywhere. He covered his mouth and walked around the side of the rubbish, Xiaosu following behind with an umbrella.
'Let's go back, and stop by the land managent office on the way.'
The information from the land managent office put his mind at ease. That piece of land now belonged to the governnt, and the families that had originally owned fields in that area had long ago exchanged their land for fields elsewhere.
Needless to say, Feng Jiachong's idea was really quite good. The land in the town was really worthless now, so if soone was willing to invest, how could the town charge for the land?
Even the county, after completing the land preparation work, only charged a nominal fee for the enterprises that ca to invest.
In exchange for a worthless plot of land, you get a village road and a business enterprise. It's a bargain no matter how you look at it.
Unfortunately, this model cannot be replicated. Feng Jiachong has the confidence to do this, and it must be related to his brother, the village chief, who does business in the provincial capital. If every village could do this, it would be great. Allocate a plot of land in exchange for a road and a business enterprise, and the town under his rule would definitely beco a strong town in the entire county.
The key to the problem is how much investnt Fengjiachong can attract, and such a decision must be submitted to higher authorities for approval.
That night, the town mayor called Uncle Si and asked, 'Teacher Feng, roughly how much can be invested in this factory?'
Haha, Yiping was right. Throw out a bait and they will beg you.
'Real money, probably no less than 2 million yuan.'
The mayor was overjoyed to hear this. With 2 million in their own funds, the bank can also finance nearly 1 million accordingly, which adds up to 3 million! Last year, the county's largest investnt project was also a 3 million clothing factory.
'This is no laughing matter, Mr Feng.'
'I definitely won't joke about the amount, but it also depends on the conditions offered by the town.'
'No problem with that. Do you have the county's docunts on investnt promotion? There are detailed explanations on various concessions. No? Then I'll have Xiao Su send you a copy right away.'
A 3 million yuan investnt promotion project, what is this? This is political achievent, this is his ladder to success.
He couldn't help but want to call the old leaders of the county to report the situation. But then he thought better of it. Such a good thing definitely had to be reported to the old leaders in person. This was also a good opportunity to et him openly.
To paraphrase the saying that even the poorest cannot be poor in education, even the poorest place cannot be poor in its leaders.
The county leaders' houses were all built halfway up the mountain next to the county town, with a dozen or so two-storey buildings in a well-proportioned arrangent surrounded by wrought iron railings. There was a small sports ground in the middle, surrounded by trees and flowers. Although they were no match for the luxury mansions on the Peak in Hong Kong, they were still considered to be authentic luxury mansions in the county.
In the evening, the town mayor's Cherokee parked in front of one of the buildings.
'Do you have at least two million in personal funds?' In his study, County Magistrate Zhao, who had so grey hair at the temples, paused with the writing brush in his hand. The town mayor hurried over to help him grind the ink.
'Yes! He wouldn't lie about that.' County Magistrate Zhao gestured a bit, then the brush moved swiftly across the paper, quickly producing the character '真' in running script.
'Truth-seeking, good character, and good aning!'
'What's so good about it?' Zhao the county head asked with a smile.
'It looks comfortable, that's what's good about it.'
Hearing his comnt, Zhao the county head laughed, 'Alright, in that case, you can just tell here, don't show off in other places.'
'Tell , what business does his third brother do in the province?'
The two sat down on the sofa next to them, and from here they could see the entire county.
'He owns a noodle restaurant. I heard that he has opened more than ten restaurants in the provincial capital, and he has also encouraged twenty or thirty people in his village to open their own restaurants.'
'Oh, so he is quite capable. What did he do before?'
'He used to farm at ho. It was only in the past two years that he suddenly beca rich.'
'Can a noodle restaurant owner co up with two million yuan?'
'It seems that his family also has other businesses in the provincial capital.' In fact, the town mayor really didn't know much.
'You haven't done your job thoroughly. How can you motivate the people of a village when you haven't even t him?'
Who's going to et him? It's more likely that he'll co and et . Not to ntion Feng Zhenchang. In recent years, on average, Feng Jiachong hasn't even been there once a year. 'You're right, old leader, I'm just sotis too slow. I still need your guidance and encouragent.' The mayor respectfully poured tea for County Magistrate Zhao.
'You know the policy of attracting investnt. You can offer so specific incentives. The higher the amount, the better, of course. So you need to think of more ways to do it. The better you do now, the smoother the road ahead will be.'
The mayor felt that this was even sweeter than honey. 'Yes, I will definitely think of more ways.'
'He was originally just an ordinary farr, right, in his fifties,' the county head said, looking at the county town at the foot of the mountain, where the lights were slowly beginning to appear. 'Now that he has so money, well, if the investnt goes ahead, run it, and promise him a seat on the county political consultative conference next year,'
I have to say, these officials, other abilities aside, are absolutely good at reading people's minds. He had never even t Feng Zhenchang before, but he had already found a condition that would definitely attract him.
Officials are very efficient when it cos to matters that benefit them. That afternoon, after the town mayor returned from the county, the matter was brought up at a eting. Although so people opposed it and so even whimsically suggested that the town should also take a share in the company, in the end the matter was more or less settled.
Imdiately afterwards, the mayor took Uncle Si to the provincial capital. To be honest, Feng Zhenchang was quite excited about the visit from the local governnt. He received the mayor in the office building rented by Zhitong Company, which was currently the most presentable office location among the four companies.
Feng Zhenchang was not the only one attending the negotiations. i Yiliang, Hong Haoran and Zhou Xinyu were also there to help their boss's father put on a good show.
The mayor was even more polite when he saw the scene. 'I personally admire you for not forgetting to benefit your hotown after becoming rich. At the sa ti, on behalf of the elders of my hotown, I promise you that we will definitely provide the most favourable conditions for your investnt. anwhile, the town party committee and the town governnt have recomnded you to the higher authorities as a mber of the county CPPCC.'
Ha, this is a pleasant surprise. When Feng Yiping first ca to the town to set up a factory, Feng Zhenchang was not very happy about it, but now he is beaming with joy.
Of course, the specific terms were not so easy to set, but when the mayor left, the two sides basically reached an agreent that Feng Yiping would invest no less than 2 million yuan in the town in the na of Jiasheng Company, which is registered in the Virgin Islands, and build a professional cabinet production enterprise based on local forestry resources.
The town would provide Jia Sheng with 25 mu of land with all necessary infrastructure and services free of charge. On top of that, for every additional million yuan invested, the town would provide an additional 10 mu of land free of charge. In addition, tax incentives would be based on a three-reduction, five-exemption model, with the amount of the incentives increasing as the investnt increased. The town would also waive all administrative fees during the company's application and construction period, and would coordinate loans...
At the sa ti, the town would provide Fengjiachong Village with 20 mu of land. The cooperation between Jia Sheng and Fengjiachong Village would be negotiated by the two parties.
