One sentence sent chills down Gao Datong's spine.
Zhang Cheng took the boss's bag next to him, took out a stack of documents, and pushed it in front of Gao Datong.
"Brother Gao, take a look at these first."
"Then, please arrange an appointment with Mayor Gao for me."
Gao Datong picked up the document with suspicion, but after flipping through only a few pages, his expression changed completely, and his breathing became rapid.
He looked up abruptly, staring at Zhang Cheng in horror: "These...are they all real?"
"As long as the industrial park can be built, these contracts will be genuine."
Gao Datong understood.
Now, these are all waste paper.
But once the industrial park is established, these waste papers will turn into countless amounts of real money and tangible political achievements!
He remained silent for a long time before saying with difficulty, "I can help you arrange a meeting with my dad, but I can't guarantee it will work out."
"Brother Gao, you've got it wrong again."
Zhang Cheng put his glasses back on, his smile gentle yet carrying an undeniable power.
“My investment is real, the industrial park is real, and the benefits brought by these contracts are real.”
"So, it's not Mayor Kao who's helping me."
Zhang Cheng leaned forward slightly, looking directly into Gao Datong's eyes.
"It is I who am helping Mayor Gao to achieve a political achievement that will shake the entire province."
"You must make this clear to Mayor Kao."
Seeing that Gao Datong was stunned, Zhang Cheng continued, "No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to play tricks on the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee. Whoever builds this industrial park in the end must, and can only, cooperate deeply with the Jiaxing government."
"...Alright then."
Gao Datong was completely speechless. He felt that he was not facing a nineteen-year-old youth, but a prehistoric beast that had been dormant for a long time.
He stood up and gave Zhang Cheng a deep look.
"Come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay." Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile.
...
More than an hour later, at the municipal government compound.
Inside the study, Jiaxing Mayor Gao Zhenghao, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was rubbing his temples with his eyes closed.
Gao Datong stood to the side and spoke cautiously.
"Dad, I've invited Zhang Cheng over for dinner tonight. Will you... see him or not?"
Gao Zhenghao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showing no signs of fatigue, but rather a sharp glint.
"I've already invited him, how can I, as an elder, shut him out?"
He smiled and gestured for his son to sit down.
"Zhang Cheng is a young man with bold and interesting ideas."
"It's definitely time for a disruptive force to enter Jiaxing's business district."
Gao Zhenghao changed the subject:
"However, building an industrial park is extremely costly. The city is about to build a highway and can't afford that much money."
"Dad, Zhang Cheng said he'll take care of the money."
"Him?" Gao Zhenghao smiled noncommittally. "The start-up capital for an industrial park can't be less than ten million. Does he have that kind of ability?"
“He has Jiang Yuhong from Shanghai behind him.”
“Jiang Yuhong…” Gao Zhenghao pondered, “I’ve heard a little about this man. He’s good at speculation and he won’t act until he sees a clear benefit.”
It's unlikely he'd put ten million yuan of real money into starting a business in Jiaxing.
Gao Zhenghao shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
"However, that's not important."
"The important thing is what he wants to do and what he is willing to give up."
“As long as he brings real money and it’s a real investment, then he is a distinguished guest of Jiaxing.”
Gao Zhenghao's gaze deepened.
"At least within Jiaxing, the municipal party committee can guarantee his safety."
