Chapter 212 Takeoff
Chapter 212 Takeoff
I took a nap and slept until the afternoon.
We then got up and returned to the city.
Bai Hua's private affairs are a needle in a haystack. Now that we've already talked it out, let's cut ties cleanly.
"Divorce? No, I won't agree to it."
During the phone call, the other party shouted angrily. It was clear that there were people around him, but he still shouted it out.
Zhou Minyi frowned: "How can he be so unreasonable? Doesn't he know that someone is covering for him? If it really comes down to it, I'll take some people to his workplace right now, make sure he loses his job, and make sure he can't face anyone properly."
Bai Hua's face was a little pale.
"You can't do it that way. Leave it to me."
In matters like this, it's best if I step in.
The two women looked at me, as if they had found their leader.
Zhou Minyi's method of pressuring people with actions is not feasible, as it is very likely to drive the other party to desperation and make them unwilling to admit anything.
Only men truly understand men.
There's only one way to get a man to initiate a divorce: arrange another relationship for him so he'll dislike his current partner!
Call Sun Ce; at this point, we have no choice but to sacrifice Old Sun's daughter.
He had his daughter, who was at the deputy director level in the Discipline Inspection Commission, pursue him, promising to marry him after her divorce and help him get a promotion.
"Old Sun, Miaomiao will have to work hard this time. I'll make it up to her later. You can visit Ya Hong Group whenever you have time. My office is your office, and you can drink any tea you want."
Sun Ce was very polite on the phone: "Hehe, Mr. Shen, you're too kind. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to repay you. I will definitely instruct Miaomiao to get this done."
The call ended.
I knew it in my heart.
Sun Ce will definitely handle this matter, and he will definitely succeed.
However, Sun Ce's attitude has changed, and he has begun to intend to repay the favor and sever ties.
After all, I had expectations in mind, and as long as I was still alive, Sun Ce wouldn't change his mind.
Yang Xiaotong called to tell me to go to the provincial capital.
She is upright and honest.
I'm driving, so we're departing during off-peak hours.
I stopped on the street and got into her van.
Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
Sister Tong's van drove directly into the courtyard.
"Secretary Yang, Director Chen is already waiting for you in his office."
He followed behind Yang Xiaotong without saying a word the whole way.
Doorplate: [Office of Party Secretary and Director]
Enter, then close the door.
"Old Chen, you're living a really comfortable life, unlike me, who has to come to the provincial capital to see you several times."
"Haha, you're joking, senior. You can just give me a call and I'll come straight to Liancheng to find you. Why do you have to come in person?"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, which I pretended not to hear.
"This is my younger brother. I brought him to the provincial capital today because we have a project we'd like to discuss with you. This project aligns with the province's industrial layout and can also boost local employment and economic growth in Liancheng. Currently, the funding is particularly favorable. I'd like to hear the professional opinions from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and hope you can provide more policy support."
After Sister Tong finished speaking, she gave me a look.
After listening to Sister Tong's words, Chen Ke, the Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, gave me a very serious look.
"Hello, Director Chen."
I stepped forward and took out the documents, which was the all-English investment plan that Song Xin of HQFT had compiled and revised. Of course, I also made a Chinese translation, which was very considerate of me.
After receiving my documents, Chen Ke looked up and said, "Seniors, please have some tea first."
Get things done!
The relationship is indeed very direct; things are handled on the spot!
A dozen minutes later.
Chen Ke looked up, his face beaming with a smile: "First of all, I must congratulate you, senior."
Sister Tong: "Let's not talk about what will happen later, just tell me your opinion first."
"The Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Liancheng Municipal Party Committee held a special consultation on the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City major project. Both parties agreed to establish a collaborative promotion mechanism. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission will strengthen policy coordination, resource coordination and approval services, while the Municipal Party Committee will strengthen local responsibility and ensure implementation. Together, we will promote the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City project to be implemented, put into production and achieve results as soon as possible, and inject new momentum into the province's economic and social development."
Sister Tong laughed and said, "Don't try to fool me. I brought my younger brother to see you, which is a nice bonus. Don't be stingy. Just tell me the whole story."
"First report and first discussion (i.e., regional protection for similar industries), financial rewards and subsidies, financing support, land use guarantees, environmental protection green channels, and special support for the cultural and tourism industry."
"I don't like hearing such official talk. Chen Ke, you're getting more and more cunning, daring to act like an official in front of me."
Although Sister Tong was joking, Chen Ke immediately stood up: "Senior, tell me, what policies do you want? Give me what you can, and for what you can't, I'll find a way through the provincial party committee myself."
Although both are from the same department, it seems that Chen Ke is still a bit more intimidated by Sister Tong.
I saw it all clearly from the side.
"The project is designed in modules. The provincial public welfare module will use special bonds and policy loans, while the Macao operational module will use its own funds and local subsidies. The provincial module funds will be used for the infrastructure construction of the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City project, and the Macao funds will be used for investment in software technology, marketing and promotion, patent expenditures, etc. Of course, government bonuses and interest subsidies will be applied for and approved at the maximum standard. Basic projects such as land expansion and environmental protection access will still be provided."
Chen Ke looked worried: "Senior, you're not here to ask for policies, you're here to make me make a mistake."
Sister Tong said in a serious tone: "The project is estimated to take 5 years to complete, and my term of office is basically also 5 years. After the project is completed and my task is done, let's see who will find fault with you then."
Chen Ke's breath hitched; Yang Xiaotong's words were also correct.
Why am I so intimidated by her, even though we're both from the main hall?
Firstly, because of the background, and secondly, because of the prospects.
In terms of background, I am not as powerful as her.
In terms of future prospects, his position as a full-fledged official has come to an end, while Yang Xiaotong's position is in a transitional phase.
If the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City project is completed and officially put into operation, my senior classmate will have just finished her "gilding" and been promoted to the provincial party committee. At that time, let's see who dares to find fault with me!
"Okay, senior, whatever you say, I'll do it. I'll draft a plan later."
Two powerful leaders at the level of department director discussed a 20 billion yuan project and came to a rough conclusion in an afternoon in a 30-square-meter office.
However, to utilize the modular design, the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City must be an independent project. Therefore, the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City will eventually be approved by the Liancheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to establish an independent operating entity, and can no longer be affiliated with Ya Hong Group. This will make it more convenient and compliant to build a special bond funding platform with the government.
Before I left, Chen Ke greeted me with a smile: "Xiao Shen, your sister is a genius in economics. Learn from her and you'll improve a lot."
"Thank you, Director Chen. You and my sister are both role models for me."
[Modular Design:]
[Provincial Public Welfare Module (60%, 12 billion): Special bonds 3.6 million (30% equity) + policy loans 8.4 million (70%), term 25 years, low financing cost interest rate 3.0-3.5%]
[Macau operating module (40%, 8 million): 8 million of self-owned funds + Macau interest subsidy (maximum 4%) + R&D funding (1:1 matching), low tax rate of 12%]
The highest level of government subsidies received is 5000 million yuan for foreign investment projects.
We secured a 2 million yuan investment from a provincial-level parent fund, reducing financing costs.
With the combined provincial, local, and special-level interest subsidies, the maximum subsidy standard of 30% is still maintained, which means that the overall financing cost of the provincial public welfare module has been reduced by 1.5 percentage points.
On the bus, after listening to Sister Tong speak, I felt a bit dizzy.
Even if it weren't for my project, I would still have a feeling that Chen Ke, the Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, was about to make a mistake!
In business, saving money is truly the key to making money!
Is this what they mean by having connections in high places making things easier?
A year of hard work is not as exciting as one project!
In short, take off!
