A confident smile curved Li Yuanyuan's lips as she glanced at the three bosses present.
"I have already established a chamber of commerce in Funing."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like a thunderclap in the private room.
"Furthermore, it received the full support of the municipal government."
"Currently, nine state-owned enterprises and forty-six private enterprises have officially joined."
"Therefore, I am fully capable of fulfilling the promises I made to you all before."
Mr. Huang and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with utter shock.
In Jiaxing, these out-of-town businessmen were suffocated by the "Jiaxing Gang," and even banding together for mutual support was difficult.
And this woman, in a place like Funing, managed to integrate both official and business circles in such a short period of time.
They raised such a grand banner!
"Amazing! Boss Li, you're truly a heroine!" Boss Huang gave her a heartfelt thumbs up, then tentatively asked:
"So... Mr. Zhang's big project of building an industrial park in Jiaxing has also received the approval of the Funing Chamber of Commerce?"
"certainly."
Li Yuanyuan nodded slightly, her tone calm, but she dropped an even bigger bombshell.
"Not only the Chamber of Commerce, but also the Funing Municipal Government is very eager to strengthen cooperation with Jiaxing."
She paused, then parted her red lips slightly.
"Furthermore, I have already contacted the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce..."
Li Yuanyuan is a master at using someone else's name to intimidate others.
If Zhang Cheng were here, he would probably applaud her courage and quick wit.
The three bosses were deeply moved, but a hint of doubt also arose in their minds.
Is the Funing municipal government supporting local businessmen to come to Jiaxing to build an industrial park?
This sounds so illogical.
As if reading their minds, Li Yuanyuan suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you three bosses know what kind of car Mr. Zhang drove to Jiaxing?"
“Cadillac!” Mr. Huang blurted out; that black luxury car had left a deep impression on him.
"That car belongs to Jiang Yuhong, chairman of Shanghai Yuhong Company."
In a single sentence, the secret is revealed!
The three bosses' eyes widened instantly, as if a flash of lightning had struck their minds, and all their doubts suddenly became clear!
"You mean..."
"Chairman Jiang recently acquired Funing Canned Food Factory, transforming the state-owned enterprise into a private one. His tough approach has naturally drawn criticism from Funing's leadership."
Li Yuanyuan explained it casually.
"That's why this industrial park project was chosen to be located in Jiaxing, rather than in Funing, which is fraught with conflict."
I see!
The three bosses suddenly realized!
So the real tycoon behind all this is Jiang Yuhong, a big shot in Shanghai!
Zhang Cheng was merely a young agent whom he had pushed to the forefront!
"So it turns out that General Manager Jiang is going to build an industrial park in Jiaxing. Of course, we'd love to welcome him with open arms!" Boss Yu rubbed his hands excitedly.
Li Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Mr. Yu, you've got it wrong."
"It's the industrial park being built in Jiaxing. It's General Manager Zhang, not General Manager Jiang."
Mr. Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly corrected himself: "Yes, yes, yes! It's Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang!"
The three bosses were all shrewd and immediately understood the trick.
Big shots prefer to remain behind the scenes for a reason, and those who are his underlings only need to understand it without having to spell it out.
Most importantly, regardless of whether this industrial park can ultimately be built, these out-of-town businessmen who have been bullied in Jiaxing...
There will be no loss.
Once it's built, they'll be able to rise to the top in one step, with a powerful backer, and they'll no longer need to be subservient to the "Jiaxing Gang"!
This is a sure-fire, high-stakes gamble!
"Come on, come on! Mr. Li must be tired from your journey, come on, have some food first!"
"This is a specialty of Jiaxing, please try it!"
The atmosphere in the private room was lively, and both guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.
...
Meanwhile, in the family compound of the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee.
Gao Datong personally picked up a piece of translucent sweet and sour lotus root for Zhang Cheng.
"Try this, it's my mom's specialty."
Zhang Cheng picked it up, put it in his mouth, and found it to be perfectly sweet, sour, soft, and chewy.
He sincerely praised, "Auntie's cooking is really good."
Gao Zhenghao took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and looked at Zhang Cheng with gentle eyes.
"Xiao Zhang, things haven't been peaceful in Jiaxing lately. I'll have Datong arrange for you to stay at the municipal party committee's guesthouse later, it'll be safer there."
"Okay, I'll follow Mayor Gao's arrangements." Zhang Cheng readily agreed.
This meal took more than an hour to eat.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, both host and guests were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Zhang Cheng drank two cups of strong tea to help him sober up, then got up to say goodbye.
Gao Datong personally saw him off and got into the passenger seat of the Cadillac.
The car drove smoothly out of the government compound and into the night.
Gao Datong gazed at the fleeting street scenes outside the window, half-closing his eyes, and sighed:
"Jiaxing is a good place, but unfortunately, there are always some corrupt officials who muddy the waters for their own selfish interests."
He then changed the subject: "Although Funing started late, everyone is united. I think it won't be long before it catches up with Jiaxing."
Zhang Cheng gripped the steering wheel and chuckled, "Brother Gao's words have a hidden meaning."
Gao Datong shrugged helplessly.
"Back then, when the province planned the small commodity wholesale market, Funing was the first choice because of its convenient Lanjiang River waterway. However, the leadership at the time felt that developing small commodities was speculation and had no future, so they pushed this huge opportunity to Yiwu."
“Since then, every official in Funing has made attracting investment a core part of their work, fearing that they might repeat the same mistakes.”
His words contained a wealth of information.
