Regarding this matter, Lin Yifeng had Guo Fengsheng make another trip to Gongcheng the next day.
However, this trip to Gongcheng wasn't about opening a shop; it was to directly approach the government to discuss recent policies and try to get their opinion.
That evening, in Pang Donglai's office.
Guo Fengsheng took the water cup from Donglai and gulped down two mouthfuls. After finishing, he let out a long sigh.
"Brother Feng, don't even mention it!"
"Why!"
"These people are absolutely despicable!"
Lin Yifeng also told Dong about this, and the two of them looked at Guo Fengsheng with eyes full of doubt.
Guo Fengsheng lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and frowned deeply.
"I asked, and this policy is absolutely ridiculous."
"Basically, it was like giving those little devils a red light."
Guo Fengsheng continued to explain what had happened.
When he went to the city government that day, these people were receiving the group from the Japanese company to discuss the follow-up plans and investment amount.
Guo Fengsheng waited for almost half a day before he was able to speak with Wu Kang and the other man in the afternoon.
When Guo Fengsheng asked about the policy, the two assumed that Pang Donglai was also going to open in Gongcheng. They quickly explained that Pang Donglai wouldn't benefit from this policy, but they could make temporary adjustments and welcome Pang Donglai to join them.
Gongcheng's policies toward Japanese companies are concise and to the point.
Large-scale factories that provide more than 500 jobs will receive tax breaks and their land use and wastewater treatment issues will be reduced.
The main purpose is to promote development, but local large enterprises are not interested in this, and small enterprises are not qualified. This wave of policy benefits is only available to Japanese companies.
I asked them a few questions.
Guo Fengsheng lowered his voice and explained cautiously.
I asked them if they had checked whether the Japanese company met national standards.
"Do you know what they said to me?"
Guo Fengsheng's eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his teeth.
“These bastards told me not to worry about these things, that Japanese companies pay great attention to environmental protection.”
"It's mainly because they were kind enough to help them, having taken a liking to Gongcheng."
"These Japanese devils are the great benefactors of Gongcheng. They can increase the income of the people of Gongcheng and drive local development!"
After saying this, Guo Fengsheng turned around and cursed repeatedly.
Even Donglai's expression turned serious, and he yelled at Lin Yifeng.
"These traitors!"
"I think we must thoroughly investigate their ancestors for three generations!"
"brute!"
"They're worse than animals!"
Lin Yifeng could only manage a wry smile after hearing this.
He realized that the two top officials of Gongcheng had completely fallen for each other's sweet talk.
These two are no longer concerned about whether Japanese companies will cheat them; they only care about whether outsiders will sabotage their plans.
To put it bluntly, many companies were deceived in this way in the 1990s.
Even a company like Tianfu Cola could be tricked by Pepsi, let alone a mere Gongcheng being completely fooled.
This is a dangerous situation; the people of Gongcheng are going to be ruined by the government.
A brief silence fell over the room.
After thinking it over, Donglai turned to ask Lin Yifeng.
"Brother Feng, we can't use vegetables from Gongcheng anymore."
Lin Yifeng nodded.
Besides being a major transportation hub, Kyojo is also the largest vegetable supply area for Makino City. The surrounding area has multiple greenhouses that can guarantee the vegetable supply for Makino City and the surrounding areas.
A large portion of the vegetables at Pang Donglai are sourced from there.
If the Japanese build a factory there, Lin Yifeng wouldn't dare use the vegetables from there anymore.
Not only vegetables, but Lin Yifeng also dared not use anything else.
The most significant impact will be on the surrounding area. The children at Paishitou Elementary School will definitely face challenges.
This matter must be resolved.
"There's no rush yet."
"It will take them some time to finalize the plan."
"I'll think of another way."
Lin Yifeng comforted the two of them while also thinking of a solution.
He still didn't have much of a clue about this matter.
Meanwhile, in Shangdu...
Xu Qingyi and Gangzi's work is gradually getting back on track.
After finalizing several store deals, the Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace stores in Shangdu officially entered the renovation phase. The two were responsible for supervising the construction in the local area and didn't have time to go back to Muye for the time being.
However, the two of them still had little clue about what was going on at the train station.
At noon, in the commercial street of Shangdu, after the renovation workers finished their work, Xu Qingyi and Gangzi, holding boxed lunches, chatted and laughed with the surrounding workers, while observing the pedestrians passing by on the street.
Some workers, taking advantage of the nice weather, laid out cardboard boxes at their doorways and started taking a nap in the sun.
Xu Qingyi and Gangzi, who weren't sleepy at all, sat at the door with the remaining masters, smoking cigarettes and chatting about their families.
There were few pedestrians around at midday, but soon a group of people's eyes were fixed on a group of people passing by.
The man at the head of the group was arrogant, sporting the most fashionable mustache of the moment. He strolled around the street, looking at his surroundings with disdain in his eyes.
Behind the man, a woman walking cautiously followed with small, quick steps.
The man and woman were accompanied by several men in plainclothes, who were warily looking around.
This peculiar appearance also filled Xu Qingyi and the others with curiosity, and they watched as the other person walked from one end of the street to the other.
