Qian Lingyun returned to the reception room where Xu Yillong was.
As soon as they met, he smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Xu, sorry for the long wait."
Xu Yilong and Li Lin had a good chat, at least that's what he thought. So he felt much better, because the unhappiness of not getting all the projects faded a lot. Seeing Qian Lingyun come back, he thought Qian Lingyun had figured it out.
So he smiled and said, "It's okay. I get along well with County Magistrate Li. I have to say that Secretary Qian has a good vision to promote such an outstanding young cadre."
"Oh?" Qian Lingyun looked at Li Lin in surprise. He knew that Li Lin had always disliked the arrogant style of the second-generation officials and rich second-generations. Why did he change his usual behavior today and chat with Xu Yilong, a young man from Beijing? Could it be that he had finally come to his senses? Did he know how to socialize?
But looking at Li Lin's expression, he seemed lukewarm...it seemed like he was just acting to please the situation.
Qian Lingyun didn't think too much about it. He sat down and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, after we recalculated, the final decision may still disappoint you."
Only then did Xu Yilong's thoughts shift away from Li Lin and his sister Xu Wen and return to the Shannan County project.
He crossed his legs again, looked at Qian Lingyun calmly, and asked, "Secretary Qian, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I have my own considerations. I'm mainly considering your place. You should also know that the current environment is not good and the finances are in difficulty. Who can guarantee that the financial funds of Yanjing can be allocated to your Pingyang without any loss?"
"Which company would dare to advance a huge amount of money on a project at the risk of being owed money for a long time? To be honest, the reason why I am interested in this project is because I am confident that I can help you get the financial funds from Yanjing smoothly. Otherwise, I would not dare to take it over. So, this project is not something that an ordinary company can do. If I leave, you may not be able to find a suitable contractor."
Hearing this, Qian Lingyun did not refute but nodded silently.
He knew that what Xu Yilong said was true. The overall environment was not good, and the finances were stretched to the limit. In some areas, it was difficult to guarantee the wages of employees, let alone the allocation of tens of billions of funds at once. Without special relationships and special channels, it was hard to say whether the money could be allocated smoothly.
If the financial funds cannot be smoothly in place, then the Shannan project will be nothing more than a piece of paper!
However, business negotiations are essentially a game of bargaining, and sellers must create an atmosphere where their goods are in high demand in order to gain a dominant position.
Qian Lingyun said with a calm face, "Mr. Xu is right. Although the financial funds have been approved by the higher authorities, no one can guarantee whether there will be loopholes in the middle and whether they can be smoothly transferred to the local finance. However, in addition to you, there are still many people willing to advance funds to take over this project. There are even companies willing to pay a deposit of 100 million yuan to Pingyang Finance to ensure the quality and progress of the project..."
"Oh? In Pingyang, there are still such powerful companies?"
Xu Yillong laughed, obviously not believing it.
He thought, being able to take on the project with full advance payment was already a great achievement, so who would voluntarily pay a deposit of 100 million yuan?
If there really is such an idiot, I would like to meet him.
I'm afraid this is just Qian Lingyun's excuse for bargaining!
Qian Lingyun saw that Xu Yilong didn't believe him, and smiled, "We do have several powerful companies in Pingyang, such as Jianghai Group and Longjian Group... But I'm not talking about these companies, but Shannan County Zhao's Real Estate Company. It has the support of a listed company in Yanjing, has strong financial strength, and has also expressed its willingness to take over the Shannan Ancient City Renovation Project."
"After all, this is our local company, and most of the workers are locals. I can't be so ruthless and not give them any work to do, right? So, Mr. Xu, I think you should lower the standard and take on two-thirds of the work, leaving some for the locals. What do you think?"
Qian Lingyun deliberately mentioned Longjian Group and Jianghai Group in order to increase credibility.
I wanted to see what Xu Yillong would say.
But something unexpected happened.
Li Lin, who originally stood on the same side as Qian Lingyun, suddenly spoke up after hearing Qian Lingyun say that he would give one-third of the project to Zhao Real Estate.
He looked at Qian Lingyun silently and said in a deep voice, "Secretary, there are some things you may not understand. A gun-attack case occurred in our county yesterday. According to clues, the suspects are Zhao Chengyi and others from Zhao's Real Estate... In addition, I have reported the situation of Zhao's Real Estate to you before. This company has many stains and is not suitable for contracting government projects anymore."
Hearing this, Qian Lingyun was embarrassed. His original intention was not to really hand over the project to Zhao Chengyi, but to put pressure on Xu Yilong so that he would pay a part of the deposit first and lower the project price...
However, he did not communicate with Li Lin in advance, so Li Lin directly misunderstood his thoughts.
It's no one's fault, just Qian Lingyun's pretending to be so convincing that not only did he deceive Xu Yilong, but also affected Li Lin's thinking.
Li Lin took his words seriously.
Xu Yilong also took it seriously.
But when Xu Yillong saw Li Lin take the initiative to stand up and speak for him, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
He kept laughing in his heart, he is worthy of being my brother-in-law, it is our own people who are most useful in critical moments!
But Li Lin was completely motivated by public interest. He thought that no matter who in the province said hello, Zhao’s real estate must not be allowed to get involved in the ancient city project!
The Zhao family is nothing but a bunch of parasites and vampires!
They only think about how to save money, how to make money, and how to cheat money. How can such a company complete such an important engineering project?
Qian Lingyun turned his head to look at Li Lin, put away his smile, and kept signaling with his eyes, as if to say, I know what's going on, I know what's going on! Don't say anything yet...
