Xiong Hanlin exclaimed in his heart, but he soon figured it out.
Yes, Tang Xiaobao has a big appetite, but isn’t that as it should be?
They have invested nearly 40 billion yuan, so how can they not make money? Besides, it makes money for everyone. Besides, doesn’t this also drive the economic development of the old district?
"Mr. Tang, what a generous gesture!" Xiong Hanlin praised. "However, this is also an opportunity for the old district. We can develop the tourism industry and utilize the convenient transportation network to ship more local specialties. It's a win-win situation. Okay, on behalf of the government, I agree to this."
Someone wanted to say something, but Xiong Hanlin stopped him by waving his hand.
At this time, he must be tough and domineering. Once this project is negotiated, it will be a great addition to Xiong Hanlin's political achievements.
Tang Xiaobao raised his glass. "Come on, Mr. Tang, let's have a toast to our cooperation. You can send someone to the company someday so we can have further discussions. But I'm here to state on behalf of the company that, as long as the conditions don't change significantly, we will definitely invest in this road. We'll sign the contract as soon as possible and get the project up and running. The sooner the road opens to traffic, the greater the benefits will be to the people in the old revolutionary base areas, and they'll be able to escape poverty and become rich sooner."
"Well, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Xiong Hanlin raised his glass.
Today, Xiong Hanlin brought a team to conduct an inspection, which was fake. The real purpose was to discuss the Bawan Expressway project. Once this matter was resolved, everyone was in a good mood.
The following conversation became more harmonious and joyful.
Xiong Hanlin was so happy that he became even more determined to hold on to Tang Xiaobao and the Shenlong Group. He said, "Mr. Tang, your Shenlong Group has driven the economic development of Bazhong over the past year and made tremendous contributions to the development of Bacheng. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to contact the government. I still say that our government will definitely provide strong support."
"Hey, Mayor Xiong, now that you mention it, I actually have a small matter that needs your and the government's help." Tang Xiaobao climbed up the pole.
Xiong Hanlin was stunned, secretly regretting that he had been looking for trouble, but since things had come to this point, he could only express his attitude generously: "Please tell me, Mr. Tang. I will definitely help if I can."
Tang Xiaobao sighed and said, "That's right. When I settled Shenlong Group in Bazhong City, I just wanted to boost local economic development and contribute to the GDP of Bazhong City. But I still underestimated the difficulties in starting a business. At present, the most difficult thing is recruiting talents. To be honest, the company's scale has expanded too fast in the past six months, resulting in an extreme shortage of middle and senior management personnel. We have contacted many authoritative headhunting companies in the country to help us recruit talents, but in fact, many talents are not willing to work in such a small place. Think about it, anyone who has some ability would rather stay in a big city to work. They bought a house and settled down in the city, and then came here to work. Most of them have to face the situation of separation from their families, and after they come, they have to rent a house to live. There is no way, so I can only increase the salary, but just increasing the salary is not a long-term solution, and there is no guarantee that they will not change jobs. If they can't stay, "It's about housing, so I was wondering if we could solve their housing problem as well. Mr. Shen and I have discussed this. To attract talent, we're providing housing to some of our best employees as a year-end benefit. Basically, we're giving them free housing, and we can even help them find their permanent residence and help them get their children into school. I can't just go out and buy them housing, as that would increase costs, and they'd be scattered all over the city. If the houses were different sizes and in different locations, it would make them feel unbalanced. So, I was thinking, could we buy some land near our company and develop several communities for our employees? It's just that land seems to be in short supply. I've also looked at land near our company. It's not that there isn't any, but it's all in the hands of your city government. Even if I offer a high price, I might not be able to buy it. So, since Mayor Xiong asked, I'll be bold and say it. I hope the government will consider this for our company."
Chen Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and couldn't help but praise him in her heart.
Tang Xiaobao’s proposal is very good. If we can really get the land and build several residential areas for employees to live in, it will definitely attract some business elites to join.
As for the final ownership of the house, it can also be stipulated in the contract. For example, if you have worked for the company for ten years, the property rights of the house will belong to you. Otherwise, the company has the right to reclaim the house.
In the long run, if the household registration problem can be solved, it will attract some people to settle down here, provide benefits for employees, and retain talent for the company.
After all, Tang Xiaobao is not short of money, and if the company wants to make money and be more successful in the future, it is necessary and worthwhile to invest some money in welfare in the early stage.
Thinking that Tang Xiaobao insisted on inviting these people to dinner here, Shen Mengyao finally understood what Tang Xiaobao had said before.
You should be grateful if you eat someone else's food!
What a wise saying.
Now that Tang Xiaobao has made such a request, it seems that the government really has no reason to refuse.
Sure enough, Xiong Hanlin didn't know how to respond for a long time.
In his heart, Xiong Hanlin also gave a thumbs up to Tang Xiaobao.
Wow, no wonder he invited me to dinner, it turns out he was waiting for me here, he is so cunning.
But on second thought, Tang Xiaobao's request is reasonable.
But he couldn't make the decision on such matters alone.
Xiong Hanlin took a deep breath and spoke carefully, "Mr. Tang, you've put it very well. We also hope to attract more talented people to our city. Let me put it this way. I'll convene an enlarged meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee tomorrow to discuss this matter and then inform you promptly. It shouldn't be a big problem. I can't be too sure about what I'm saying right now. I hope you can understand."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I'm just suggesting it. Mayor Xiong asked me to bring it up. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. It won't affect the Bawan Expressway project."
Xiong Hanlin smiled and nodded.
He was smiling on his face, but he wanted to cry in his heart.
Won’t it have any impact?
Will it really have no impact?
He doesn't believe it anyway.
The rest of the people don’t believe it either.
Chen Mengyao looked serious as she said to Xiong Hanlin, "Mayor Xiong, President Tang is right. We will definitely discuss the Bazhong-Wanzhou Expressway project with sincerity. However, the difficulties he just mentioned about our company are real, and they have even caused us great anxiety. They have also affected the company's expansion and normal operations. If they are not resolved, we may end up withdrawing from Bazhong City, or at least moving some of the group's business departments to coastal cities. There is no other way."
