I haven't seen Tong Haoran for a while.

When Chen Fan rushed to the office, Tong Haoran's secretary Li Wei stood up immediately.

"Mr. Chen is here."

As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official is the prime minister's door. As the mayor's secretary, Li Wei has always had great power.

You know, not everyone is qualified to have the mayor's secretary stand up and greet them with a smile, especially those business owners. Every time they come to visit the mayor, they would be grateful if Li Wei helped them knock on the door or pass on a message.

But Li Wei didn't dare to confront Chen Fan.

Because she knew very well how much her boss valued the young man in front of her.

Moreover, it was Chen Fan who sacrificed part of the company's interests and resolutely supported Mayor Tong's shantytown reconstruction plan, which promoted the plan's thorough implementation.

Therefore, Mayor Tong actually owed Chen Fan a favor.

Chen Fan smiled and greeted: "Secretary Li, are you not late?"

"No, no. Mr. Chen, please take a seat."

Li Wei turned around and poured tea for Chen Fan while explaining, "Mayor Tong is inside receiving a leader from a county below. He will be here soon."

"Then I'll wait."

Chen Fan sat on the sofa in the secretary's office with a smile.

After Li Wei handed over the teacup, Chen Fan asked casually, "Secretary Li, do you know why Mayor Tong wants to see me this time?"

Li Wei shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this is really difficult for me."

"Mayor Tong didn't tell you, he just asked me to call you and ask you to come over."

"I wonder if the mayor wants to know the progress of the slum reconstruction."

Chen Fan nodded silently, guessing it was probably about the same thing.

After finishing a cup of tea, when Li Wei was about to give Chen Fan another cup, the door of the mayor's office next door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his teens walked in and left quickly.

Li Wei stood up, walked over and knocked on the door.

"Mayor, Mr. Chen is here."

"Please come in."

Li Wei then turned around and waved to Chen Fan.

"The mayor invites you in."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, then stood at the door, knocked on the door first, then pushed it open and walked in.

In the office, Tong Haoran was sitting opposite the desk, looking down at a document.

"Well, here it comes!"

"Please sit down for a while. I'll finish reading it right away."

Tong Haoran didn't bother to be polite with Chen Fan. He simply said hello and continued to read the documents with his head down.

Chen Fan walked to the sofa and sat down alone.

He casually glanced at Tong Haoran's office.

There is an office desk, a coffee table sofa for meeting guests, a bookcase, a water dispenser, and a few pots of green plants. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

To be honest, judging from this simple decoration style, many county-level leaders Chen Fan had seen were more luxurious than this.

In his previous life, Chen Fan had even seen with his own eyes a deputy county chief whose office was decorated with Feng Shui advice from a specially invited master, and the placement of every item was carefully considered.

Moreover, the office is furnished with a set of nanmu furniture, and the aroma fills your nose as soon as you enter the office.

Compared to those people, Tong Haoran is indeed a pragmatic and good leader.

About a few minutes later, Tong Haoran finished reading the document, picked up a pen to sign, and then pressed the landline in front of him.

Secretary Li Wei knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Send this document, and postpone the morning work to the afternoon. If anyone comes to visit, please refuse them for me."

"yes."

Li Wei nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he poured a cup of tea for Tong Haoran and Chen Fan respectively, then turned around and left with the documents.

Tong Haoran stood up, stretched his arms, then walked towards Chen Fan with a teacup in his hand, smiling.

"Sorry for the long wait. I just happened to have a few documents today that needed my signature in person."

Chen Fan stood up with a smile, and Tong Haoran raised his hand to press down.

"Have a seat. You don't have to be so polite here."

After Chen Fan sat down, Tong Haoran got straight to the point.

“I heard you were planning to enter the mobile phone industry?”

Chen Fan was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Has this reached your ears?"

Tong Haoran put down his cup and said with a smile: "Your group's notice has been issued. With a tens of billions of funds invested and such a big show, I estimate that many domestic media must be alarmed now."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "There is such a plan."

"Tell me, why are you suddenly planning to enter the mobile phone industry?"

Chen Fan glanced at Tong Haoran and felt a little surprised.

I originally thought that the other party called me over this time to discuss the slum reconstruction, but now it seems that the other party seems to be more interested in this matter.

So Chen Fan adjusted his sitting posture, then pondered and organized his words, and then briefly recounted to Tong Haoran what he had said in the board meeting.

Tong Haoran listened to Chen Fan carefully at first. The reason why he called Chen Fan over was because the big move made by Ruofan Group this time was really too big.

Once the project starts, it will not only involve land, factories, and R&D centers, but also the recruitment of a large number of technical staff... Each of these is a major achievement for the municipal government.

But as he listened, Tong Haoran's eyes began to become serious.

The look he gave Chen Fan was full of admiration.

놛 completely understood Chen Fan's speech. As the mayor, Tong Haoran admired entrepreneurs like Chen Fan.

Not only do you need courage and strong financial resources, you also need to have a forward-looking vision and a sense of urgency to prepare for a rainy day.

Of course, we can also see a bit of the patriotism of an entrepreneur in Chen Fan.

Tong Haoran also possesses this kind of temperament.

So 놛 admires Chen Fan, not only because Chen Fan can help 놛's career.

More often than not, I regard Chen Fan as a bosom friend on the road.

If you have such people working with you, you will feel like you have found a soulmate and are not alone.

Listening to Chen Fan's introduction, Tong Haoran's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he began to ask some questions.

The two of them discussed back and forth for most of the day, and finally Tong Haoran's expression became a little excited, and he stood up and walked back and forth in the office.

The next second, he suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Fan: "How sure are you?"

"This is also a completely new area for your Ruofan Group, with which you have no experience before. Everything has to start from scratch."

"And the amount of money invested is huge. I can see that this is also a big gamble for you."

"So, I want to know, how sure are you?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"To be honest, I'm not 100% sure."

"But that's how the business world works. If you wait until you're sure you have a chance, it's too late."

"For me, if there is a chance of success, it is worth taking the gamble."

"Will it work?"

Tong Haoran frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with the result.

Chen Fan smiled and consoled him, "The achievement is actually already very high."

"It can be said that in the future, smartphones are the inevitable trend and no one can stop them."

“Even if I fail, there will definitely be a second business, and a first business that succeeds…”

Tong Haoran's eyes flashed, and he stared at Chen Fan and asked a question that he was very concerned about.

"Where do you plan to build your future mobile phone R&D center?"
