"Secretary Zuo!"
Secretary Zuo waved his hand, signaling the businessmen who had stood up to sit down. He was refined and composed. Before going on stage, he glanced at Dai Donglin from afar, then looked past Chu Yu to his side before walking to the microphone.
Secretary Zuo's speech was concise and powerful. After it ended, it was time for everyone to ask questions, which Secretary Zuo answered one by one. It was clear that he had a lot of ideas about Deyang's development plan.
"Secretary Zuo, what are the requirements for the land plot near the old cotton ginning factory in the city?"
The person asking the questions was Hu Yongtian, the boss of an imported timber factory from Quan'an.
Quan'an has a port. Hu Yongtian originally started his business in timber, but now his business has expanded to other industries. He came to Deyang this time to open a supermarket, which will operate like foreign supermarkets and sell daily necessities, grains, vegetables and meat.
Hu Yongtian has some money and wants to buy a piece of land to build a house and expand the supermarket to become the largest supermarket in Deyang in the next ten years.
Deyang currently has no supermarkets or shopping malls, so Hu Yongtian's move is undoubtedly groundbreaking.
But Secretary Zuo felt that the supermarket didn't need to be so large.
"Why wouldn't I need it? I'm going to open a comprehensive supermarket that not only includes the things traditional stores sell, but also sells processed food. I'll also import goods from abroad. I can rent or sell the shops along the street to individual businesses and turn the area around the supermarket into the largest commercial district in Deyang. The area around the cotton ginning factory is quite concentrated, which is perfect for me to open a supermarket. Once my supermarket opens, it can create at least hundreds of jobs, provide convenience for the local people, and pay taxes to Deyang. It's a win-win situation."
Chu Yu also had her eye on the land where the cotton ginning factory was located.
This plot of land is in a good location, not far from the furniture market. It may seem a bit out of the way right now, but it's actually only two stops away from the department store. Even if the old city is demolished and rebuilt in the future, the cotton ginning factory will still be in the core area.
More importantly, the cotton ginning factory is located near a four-way intersection, and buses traveling to and from various counties and towns in Deyang pass by it. There are shuttle buses running back and forth, and villagers always pass by the cotton ginning factory when they come to the city to buy things.
This seemingly remote location is actually an excellent one. Chu Yu thought no one would compete with her for it, but unexpectedly, Hu Yongtian had his eye on this piece of land.
It has to be said that this land is more suitable for opening a supermarket, but Chu Yu will not give up the land easily. The commercial complex she wants to build in the future will include a furniture city, supporting residential buildings, and a supermarket.
Later furniture malls all included real estate projects, and for real estate projects to sell well, the first thing to do is to provide supporting facilities, and supermarkets are essential.
Hu Yongtian was full of confidence. For those in power, coordinating land use is not only about what the other party can bring to Deyang, but also about urban planning. Currently, Deyang does not have a decent supermarket, and Hu Yongtian is the first to take the plunge. Deyang will definitely have policy support.
He had his eye on this favorable policy.
Secretary Zuo smiled and said, "That's right. What Deyang needs most right now are jobs. There isn't much competition for this piece of land. Xiaolu, which other company is eyeing this land?"
Secretary Lu whispered, "And there's Xibao Furniture City, the owner is..."
"Hello, Secretary Zuo, I am Zhou Chuyu. Xibao Furniture City is a business that my uncle and I jointly own." Chuyu smiled and extended his hand.
Secretary Zuo had already heard from Dai Qiongying about Dai Donglin's search for a partner. The Dai family had high standards, but Dai Donglin's standards were even higher.
He also wondered what kind of person Dai Donglin would like.
So that's how it is.
The girl was so beautiful that it was hard to look away. I heard that she had just graduated from high school and didn't have much social experience, but when she arrived at the business venue and faced him, the secretary of Deyang, she was not at all shy.
Secretary Zuo extended his hand, pondered, "Zhou Chuyu? That name sounds familiar."
Secretary Lu:
"Boss, this year's top science student in the province is also named Zhou Chuyu."
Secretary Zuo was clearly surprised. This young girl was not old, but she had already opened a furniture store and was able to handle things on her own. Moreover, she had even won the title of top science student.
"This young lady is quite something. Have you submitted your college applications yet?"
"I applied to Tsinghua University."
"What about your major?"
"computer."
Secretary Zuo's smile became noticeably warmer. "What a coincidence! I also graduated from Tsinghua University. We'll be alumni from now on."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yongtian's face darkened. He was competing with Xibao Furniture City for the land of the cotton ginning factory and had hoped to establish a relationship with Secretary Zuo. However, he was from out of town, and Secretary Zuo was like a fortified city, making it impossible for him to send gifts.
If you don't have connections, you can only compete fairly with others.
The owner of Xibao Furniture City was a young woman, whom Hu Yongtian didn't take seriously. He even looked down on her because of his lingering resentment, thinking that the young woman wasn't studying properly and was instead trying to start a business.
No matter how well you do, you still have to go home, get married, and have children.
Who would have thought that this girl was the top science student in the province and also an alumnus of Secretary Zuo's university, Tsinghua University? This is not something you can just climb up to. Hu Yongtian can't possibly buy himself a Tsinghua University certificate, can he?
Hu Yongtian sensed something was wrong.
Chu Yu smiled and didn't try too hard to build a relationship. What kind of flattery hadn't Secretary Zuo heard, and what kind of situation hadn't he seen? He wasn't someone she could win over with just a few words. It was better to keep things simple, not talk about business, and just reminisce about their school days.
"I'm about to start studying at Tsinghua University. As a senior alumnus, do you have any instructions for me?"
"I wouldn't call it instructions, but the food in my alma mater's cafeteria was delicious, and the scenery was nice too. I really miss it after all these years since I left school."
Chu Yu said, "You can return to the school as a distinguished alumnus to give a speech."
"Me? A distinguished alumnus?" It wasn't that Secretary Zuo was being self-deprecating, but with Beijing sweeping down a whole bunch of high-ranking officials, how could a municipal party secretary like him dare to call himself a distinguished alumnus? Maybe in another ten years or so. Secretary Zuo waved his hand, but he smiled and said, "I'm not qualified yet. The younger generation is getting more and more outstanding. They've only graduated from high school and they can already participate in investment promotion conferences. They shouldn't be underestimated in the future."
