After the toast and a round of dishes, the secretary spoke, "Miss Zhou, since you like to be straightforward, I will also be straightforward. We need investment to develop Huai County."
Zhou Xiang tapped his nose and asked, "You want me to invest?"
The secretary nodded and said, "After what happened with Xiao Shen, we are afraid to attract foreign investment anymore. We have also listened to Miss Zhou's advice and will exchange the houses of ordinary people for one-to-one compensation."
"Since it's a one-time replacement, why is there a fee?"
"After all, the people's houses are old, and we only charge 30 yuan per square meter for the depreciation of the new houses we replace them with."
At 30 yuan per square meter, the price difference for a house of about 100 square meters is only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. The county really cares about the people. "How much investment do you want from me?"
The secretary hesitated and raised a finger.
Zhou wanted to know that it must not be ten million, "One hundred million?"
The secretary nodded repeatedly, "Yes, temporarily raise 100 million."
"temporary?"
"Yes! We'll first attract investment, and then the major banks will attract your deposits. If we attract enough, but we don't have enough, we'll go directly to the bank to borrow money."
Zhou Xiang glanced at the middle-aged men at the table inside who had been keeping an eye on this place and said with a smile, "It seems like today's Ji Bin wedding banquet has been turned into a Hongmen Banquet against me by you guys!"
"No, no, we're just borrowing the site. We're absolutely not targeting you. Once bitten, you're afraid of the ropes for ten years. We plan to start construction in small steps. Now, your strong financial resources give us hope."
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "I won't deposit money for several reasons. First, when I use it myself, I will be restricted by them. I believe you all know what I've been doing in the town. My funds must keep up. I don't care about the interest.
Secondly, which of the four major banks should I deposit money in? Those who can't attract deposits will definitely complain. If I'm generous and deposit some money in each of them, the four major banks will be happy, but what about the Anhui Bank? What about the Postal Savings Bank? What about the Rural Credit Cooperatives? Even if I print money now, it still won't be enough, right?
I won't do this thankless task! I'll just take my money. I don't want to be constrained by others, nor do I want to listen to other people's gossip. Public opinion can't suppress me."
The secretary and his men were of course aware of the gossip being spread behind the scenes by the ignorant people in the town. "Don't worry, the bank can't attract deposits. If anyone dares to create public opinion, they will not be forgiven."
Regardless of whether this promise was useful or not, Zhou Xiang wanted to accept it. "Okay, I feel relieved with the secretary's words. You can go to the market town to collect your investment in the spring! I will only invest 100 million yuan.
"At the beginning, I only got 8,200 gold bars, and I donated the rest. Besides, the price of gold will increase. If I use the gold bars for investment, I will lose a lot. You won't return the gold bars to me when the time comes, right?"
The secretary smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't pay it back. I can only pay it back at the current gold price."
"That's it! Speaking of gold prices, I'll tell you directly that although the international gold price has dropped a bit, it will definitely rise in the future. I'll calculate it based on 100 yuan per gram.
Moreover, once you get the gold bars, you can deposit them in the bank and exchange them slowly, instead of spending them all at once. When the price goes up later, the amount of money you have will increase even more!"
The secretary and the deputy county magistrate smiled broadly. Yes, Zhou thought this was a good suggestion. Moreover, she had really lost a lot of money by investing in gold. They couldn't go too far. "Okay, after the New Year or the beginning of spring, we will go to the market town in person to borrow money."
The matter was settled, and the eating and drinking afterwards became casual. After the secretary and the deputy county magistrate knew that Zhou Xiang was unwilling to deposit money, they ignored the looks of the bank presidents and just sat in their chairs without moving.
The bank presidents had no place to stand, so were they supposed to stand next to Zhou Xiang to discuss things? They could only stare helplessly.
Zhou wanted to pretend not to see it, but she was so happy that the secretary and the deputy county magistrate were willing to cancel the social engagements for her!
But the banquet always has to end, and since the leaders didn't leave, it would be difficult for ordinary guests to leave either. After the secretary and the deputy county magistrate had enough food and drinks, they said goodbye to Zhou Xiang and left first.
The deputy secretary and the county magistrate also came to say goodbye to Zhou Xiang and left one by one.
Several bank presidents rushed to grab a seat at this table. Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "The secretary has already said what you mean. I won't deposit money. Not to mention that most of my money is in gold bars, I'm still keeping it for appreciation! Not to mention the difficulty of withdrawing large sums of money from your bank,
I want to ask you, which bank should I deposit my money in? How can I feel good if I don't get any deposits? Do I let myself bear the stigma of other banks for your performance? Am I stupid? I might as well not deposit my money in any bank.
Don't compare the banks in the town. Mine is for the town government to invest. Just like the secretary has already obtained 100 million yuan in investment from me, if you have the ability, go and get this deposit from the county!"
The four bank presidents who were vying for a seat stopped and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not a big deal if we don't have any bank accounts. Thank you, Miss Zhou, for reminding us. We'll go to the county government right away."
Then, the four of them quickly left the temporary banquet hall, and then the directors and managers also left.
Director Xu then pulled his youngest son, who was wearing a mask, over and said, "Miss Zhou."
Looking at the fat man with a very flattering smile, Zhou Xiang turned to Ran Ran and said, "Miss Ran Ran, please follow your parents and leave! This place is not suitable for children to watch."
Ran Ran nodded her little head, "Goodbye, beautiful sister."
"goodbye."
Suddenly, a fresh peach appeared in Zhou Xiang's hand. "Ran Ran, this is a delicious treat given to you by your sister. Take it home and eat it!"
Ran Ran blinked her eyes. "Sister, can you do magic?"
"Yes!"
Ranran used her small hands to try to grab the big peach, "Thank you, sister."
Zhao Dongli and Ran Qiming exchanged a glance, and Ran Qiming extended his hand to his daughter, "Daddy will keep it for you, and I'll give it to you when we get home. It's cold outside."
"Okay!" Ranran obediently put the peach in her father's big hand.
Zhao Dongli said goodbye to Zhou Xiang, "Zhou Xiang, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Ran Qiming waved to Zhou Xiang, and the family of three left.
Zhou Xiang leaned back in his chair and asked, "Director Xu, right? What's going on?"
Director Xu bent down slightly and said, "My youngest son has a weak constitution. I don't know why he got chickenpox even though he's in his twenties. I heard that Miss Zhou has a magic powder, and we'd like to ask for some to try."
Zhou Xiang finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. From the moment she entered the winery, everyone she met was funny and interesting. Regardless of whether it was because of her identity or not, they all showed a side that made people have to admit defeat.
"Alright, your young master's forehead is just slightly red, and I'm planning to charge 10,000 yuan. My medicine is so miraculous, I can't let it down, nor can I drop the price of your noble young master. So, 10,000 yuan per pill!"
Director Xu's forehead was covered with sweat. His youngest son's face was covered with blisters, at least hundreds of them. Where did he get millions of dollars?
Xu Fanghui finally experienced the feeling of being blackmailed. In the past, he always appreciated other people's fear and reserved plea for mercy, but now, everything has changed, leaving him with mixed feelings.
"Dad, don't treat it anymore, just leave it like this!"
