Mayor Cui was dumbfounded.
I was initially quite satisfied with the construction progress.
But then I suddenly saw a sign about a factory in the trade city, and it said: Qinghe Village!
Mayor Cui even suspected that there was something wrong with his memory.
Is this Qinghe Village?
I seem to remember it as Baoli Village!
Mayor Cui examined the map carefully for a while, then glanced around at the surrounding area.
Sure enough, Baoli Village is right across the river, only about ten meters away!
Mayor Cui gasped in shock: "Wu Changfeng! What's going on! This isn't Baoli Village!"
Wu Changfeng shrugged: "Boss, you don't know, Baoli Village isn't going to be relocated! I had no choice but to use the alternative plan."
"Alternative options?" Mayor Cui's eyes widened. "Wasn't that something from before?!"
“But in my eyes, it was the plan when I took over,” Wu Changfeng said. “I don’t know what Lu Xingtao did, but Qinghe Village was also a candidate in the original plan.”
"Baoli Village is asking for such a high price, I can't just keep haggling over it, can I?"
"If that's the case, it will take several years, and other cities in the surrounding area will also be building trade cities, then we will have no chance."
"You have to understand that a trade city is a building that radiates outwards from a geographical location. There can only be one in a region. Having more than one would be a waste or even a burden."
"Once we've built it, other cities will have to think carefully."
"Boss, this is the important thing, time is the biggest factor."
"Nobody wants the Trade City to be stillborn because of Baoli Village, right?"
"Isn't that just benefiting other cities?"
Mayor Cui squinted and pondered for a long time.
Wu Changfeng's words make a lot of sense.
Just like the Yiwu Small Mall, at least within a few hundred kilometers of it, there won't be any other projects with the same functions.
At this crucial stage of development and construction across the mainland.
If you take the time and the location and act decisively, other cities won't follow suit.
If you don't do it, someone else will.
It's that simple: whoever reacts first has a head start.
This is also why Mayor Cui is so eager to push forward with the project's construction.
Otherwise, for a project like this, it would take at least a year or two of wrangling with the provincial authorities to get approval.
The approval was so quick, and more importantly, it didn't require the province to spend any money; the entire process was handled locally.
If the province is to provide the funds, then we'll just have to wait; it'll be over in a million years.
But Mayor Cui was still a little annoyed: "Why didn't you give me a heads-up?"
Wu Changfeng sighed and said, "I'm afraid that if I inform you and something changes on your end, I'll have to act first and report later. I can't afford to waste any more time."
"Mayor Cui, you don't know, but at the very beginning of the construction, a group of people from the neighboring city came to check whether we had started construction or not."
"It was the fat manager who received us, and this is really true."
"Think about it, if we keep arguing for a while, the neighboring city will start taking action, and then we'll be in an awkward position, and the losses will be huge."
Mayor Cui was still shaken after hearing this.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it's not that far from the original location. We can only blame the surveyors for being blind."
Wu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Yes, it's all the surveyors' fault!"
Mayor Cui nodded.
The two inspected and planned along the way.
Before long, Mayor Cui was about to head back home. As he left, he said, "Keep it up well. Once it's built, I'll come to the opening ceremony."
Wu Changfeng nodded: "By the way, I might need the Jiangcheng government's name to start investment promotion work, so what about you..."
Mayor Cui said, "I'll have the city cooperate with you. I also hope this place will prosper in the future."
"Okay, Mayor Cui, take care!"
After seeing Mayor Cui off, Wu Changfeng went to the fat manager's office.
The portly manager stood up and greeted, "Boss, Mayor Cui has left?"
"Um."
The portly manager shrank his neck: "Are you alright?"
The overweight manager was also worried that changing the project location would cause trouble.
I'll definitely have to take the blame for Wu Changfeng then.
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Nothing's wrong. Mayor Cui is reasonable and understanding."
The portly manager breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
Before leaving, Wu Changfeng said, "Complete the work with high quality and quantity. In a few days, staff from the investment promotion department will come over. You will assist them with their investment promotion work and introduce the factory's progress and so on."
"No problem, boss!"
Wu Changfeng drove back to the company.
I took a walk around the workshop, but there wasn't much to do.
The main thing is that the system has been established, and employees just need to follow the procedures.
With the addition of lower-level management personnel, the workshop production and maintenance are very well maintained.
This actually made the boss, who held the title of "manufacturing department" himself, idle.
Generally speaking, employees are afraid of their bosses coming to the workshop, looking for trouble, and seeking attention.
But the employees of Qimingxing are not afraid. We all work according to the rules, so who would we bother?
He even greeted Wu Changfeng with a smile.
Wu Changfeng sighed, as if he wanted to find an employee to reprimand and feel a sense of validation.
With nothing much going on in the workshop, Wu Changfeng returned to his office.
I also called Li Dapeng over.
Li Dapeng sat down opposite him, holding some documents, and said, "Boss, let me report on some work for you?"
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "I see it every day, no need to report. By the way, have you contacted the Beijing company?"
Li Dapeng said, "It's already been arranged. The business in the north has been handed over to General Manager Yu, but it will take a few more days. She needs to rent a larger warehouse to store the goods."
