Lu Feng looked at him with some confusion but didn't reply. He glanced around and thought to himself that the local political and business environment was probably not so harmonious.
The only cooperation Lu Feng could think of with Huang Youwei was through the Copper Industry Association. But the Copper Industry Association had more to offer than just his option. Huang Youwei simply wanted to make copper companies have a soft landing.
If they're really determined to get rid of him, they can just send someone to investigate. They need to understand that Huang Youwei is like a local tyrant in the city, and so is He Jiale.
“Supporting enterprise development is the direction of the local municipal government’s efforts. With its strong support, Jiafeng Electronics has also achieved great results. It’s a win-win situation where we make progress together and enterprises give back to society. As for what you’re saying, I don’t quite understand some of it,” Lu Feng asked.
"Just kidding. You're so young, yet you've already learned to take things too seriously. We welcome large companies to set up shop here." He Jiale crossed his legs and pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Feng, sensing that he was a little reserved in this situation, and said, "Let's have a simple meeting here. Let's go to the meeting room to talk."
Lu Feng stood up and shook hands with everyone. When they entered the reception room, there were far fewer people. After He Jiale sat down, he asked the others to leave, leaving only the two of them in the entire reception room.
"Drink water!"
"Thanks!"
"The industrial park project is a big project with a total investment of nearly 40 billion yuan. The railway and highway are all connected. We plan to build this place into an industrial zone. The initial plan is 50 square kilometers, the first phase is 15,000 mu, and the largest factory is several thousand mu. It is basically ready for move-in."
“I’ve heard all the conditions and requirements from the team, and we can meet them. I just want to know how long it will take for the promised policies and money to arrive,” Lu Feng asked bluntly.
"That depends on when you move in. We're very efficient!"
"That's wonderful! The factory area is now paved, and it should be completed by the end of the year according to the design requirements of the production plant. The machines from abroad can come back next year, and when spring comes next year, it will be the perfect time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony," Lu Feng said happily.
"However...tsk tsk tsk!"
He Jiale smacked his lips, looking somewhat troubled.
"What difficulties are you facing? Please tell me."
“The factory area you’ve got your eye on has others who have their eyes on it too. They have some influence here. Let me tell you, I was transferred here from a state-owned enterprise in the last two years. Before, this was a county. The industrial structure of a county is simple, and the interpersonal relationships are simple, so it can’t be run like a city.”
Lu Feng pondered his words for a moment. It sounded like he was saying that the factory was being taken over by people with connections, but then he thought about it again and realized that something didn't quite add up.
“Then I’m fine with moving to another factory, as long as there are no problems with water, electricity, and transportation,” Lu Feng said.
He Jiale cleared his throat, shifted his posture, lit a cigarette, and said, "I heard Huang Youwei praise you, saying that you would have a great future in politics. But now it seems you don't have that kind of aptitude, young man!"
Lu Feng fell silent, and the scene fell into a brief silence. It was not hard to tell from his words that there was a very troublesome matter that Lu Feng needed to handle, and the factory area was the condition for handling it.
"To be honest, Jiafeng's R&D company is located in Shenzhen, and its future headquarters also tends to be in Shenzhen. The concentration of businesses there makes it very convenient for industrial support, financing, and communication..."
“It won’t stop you from setting up your headquarters in Shenzhen. Transportation here is basically all sorted out.” He Jiale took a puff of his cigarette and said, “I know you’re short of money. I’ve read a letter you wrote to the electronics industry and I have some understanding of your company’s operating situation.”
"so what?"
"You're determined to get the biggest factory area, aren't you?" He Jiale laughed, as if he had Lu Feng's Achilles' heel.
"Which company is vying for that factory area?" Lu Feng asked, wanting to at least know who he was competing with.
"Wanqiong Parts is a local company that makes motorcycle parts. It's not a big company, with just over a thousand employees. The boss is Ke Bing, and the company also owns restaurants, hotels, and other businesses."
"A company with over a thousand employees, occupying a factory area of several thousand acres?" Lu Feng frowned. This kind of relationship is not something an ordinary person can have.
"Doesn't it seem less difficult now?"
"Just tell me straight, what kind of den of dragons and tigers is this?" Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "I think I can do it, so I will. Nobody turns down money, especially since the conditions you're offering are particularly good."
“Young man, don’t be afraid. It’s just a small business that has been operating locally for many years. I can’t just kick out the original contributors right away, it wouldn’t look good. I’ll find you a rope, you pull him out, and you can take the position. Then it will be perfectly legitimate.”
Pulling a rope?
Judging from his expression, Lu Feng realized that if the other end of the rope wasn't a dog, but a tiger, he'd be in big trouble.
"Let me think about it some more!" Lu Feng said thoughtfully. "The company isn't something I can decide on my own. I need to discuss it with the senior management. This matter concerns the future development of the company."
“Yes, yes, we welcome Jiafeng Electronics anytime.” He Jiale stood up and shook hands.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they saw Lu Feng to the door.
After seeing Lu Feng off, He Jiale returned to his office. A man walked in and said, "The photos are all taken. Shall we send them?"
"He's not very happy about it. That kid's cunning; he rushes in when he sees money and retreats when he sees danger." He Jiale sat in his seat, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
