Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Pointing out the topic
'Of course, but Feng always has a lot of weight in the group,' the secretary general said.
'Of course I will help to speak up. I very much hope that this project will be located in the county, in our town, including the additional infant product base, which will also be located in our town. However, for such a big matter, my words surely won't count.'
'Oh, there is also an infant product base?' County Magistrate Zhao simply put down his chopsticks.
'Yes, it's different from the past. Nowadays, it's all about the child. Parents treasure their children and treat them like little emperors. They are willing to spend money on their children. There is a huge business opportunity here. The group plans to open a chain of baby product stores across the country through self-construction and franchising, and is also preparing to produce some products itself, such as clothing,'
another big project!
'Zhou, go and let the other places know that I won't be there for lunch. Apologise for me,' County Chief Zhao said to the secretary-general.
This afternoon, he had planned to visit several delegations, but now it seems that they have all been postponed.
'Come on, Feng, I've kept you talking and haven't let you eat much. Don't be offended, this fish is good,'
and before he'd even taken a few bites, he picked up the conversation again, 'I heard that the chairman of Jiasheng Group, Yiping, went to university in the capital?'
This is something that cannot be hidden, and can be found out by checking the business registration information.
'Sort of, he doesn't really get involved in things. His studies are very heavy, and he doesn't have time. For specific matters, Mr. Jin is mainly in charge.' Feng Zhenchang was worried about how to bring up the topic, and County Magistrate Zhao took the initiative to bring it up.
'This child of yours is remarkable. I have only met him once, and not only is he excellent at studying, but he is also so talented in business. Compared to him, it seems like we have lived in vain for these past few decades.'
'How come? It's just that they have different specialisations. If we let him take the civil service exam, he'll definitely not reach your level by the time he retires. He is mainly responsible for making money for himself, but you are different. You are concerned about the more than 200,000 people in the county and are determined to bring everyone together to get rich.' Feng Zhenchang gave a little pat.
This is something County Magistrate Zhao likes to hear. If it weren't for Feng Yiping's relationship with Mayor Fang and Director Jin, he wouldn't stoop so low. 'Haha, everyone has their own difficulties. But as parents, having a child like this is really quite a relief.'
'You don't know, County Magistrate, he doesn't make it easy for us either,' Feng Zhenchang pretended to complain, 'For example, at the end of last year, when we were having a meeting in Hainan, he brought a young girl to meet us,'
'What's wrong with that? That's a good thing. She's already in college, and he's old enough to have a girlfriend. Which family is she from?' Zhao, the county head, thought to himself, 'Could it be Mayor Fang's daughter?'
When he met Feng Yiping, Feng Yiping and Zheng Jiayi were in the backyard of Mayor Fang's house, talking animatedly. He could tell that the mayor's daughter seemed to have a little interest in Feng Yiping.
'The girl is from our town, and her father is also heard to work at the town forestry office. It seems that the two of them started dating in junior high school, and they kept us in the dark.'
'Oh, that's not a big deal, as long as it doesn't affect his studies.'
'But, leaving aside other aspects, my son still cares about his hometown. He always says that his household registration will definitely remain in Fengjiachong and will not be moved elsewhere.'
Feng Zhenchang knew that the county magistrate could definitely hear the meaning behind his words.
'That's rare, really rare,' Zhao the county magistrate praised, thinking to himself that since there was this connection, this person from the Forestry Bureau could be considered for a job.
This meal was exactly the kind Feng Yuxuan hated, lasting over an hour, with most of the time spent on small talk, and the food going to waste.
'In short, Mr Feng, although you have already done a lot for your hometown, since there is still a chance, I would be very grateful if you could help us fight for it. After all, there are still many farmers who are not doing well. Okay, I can promise you now that as long as the investment goes to the county, we can negotiate any terms. I hope you can convey this attitude of mine to Jiasheng Group faithfully.'
'Don't worry, County Chief, I will do my best.' Feng Zhenchang shook the County Chief's hand and promised.
This time, County Magistrate Zhao personally saw Feng Zhenchang to the door of the guesthouse. Such treatment was rare. There were many cadres entertaining guests at the guesthouse today, and many people saw this scene. Afterward, they asked about Feng Zhenchang's identity.
'Secretary Yan, notify Wang Ganqing and tell him to come immediately,' County Magistrate Zhao did not go back to his office. Naturally, he had a room at the county guesthouse.
Wang Ganqing was obviously drunk. He may have hastily washed his face, but there were water stains on his collar. However, as soon as he spoke, a strong smell of alcohol hit the air.
'Sit down and have some tea first,'
'I'm sorry, County Chief, but I ran into the mayors of other towns at lunch and we had a few drinks together.'
'Starting tomorrow, until the end of the meeting, don't get drunk,'
'Yes, I'll remember!'
'Feng Zhenchang's son has a girlfriend. Her father works at the Forestry Research Institute. Do you know who it is?'
Wang Ganqing was very reluctant to mention Huang Chengzhong, but reality was not what he wanted. He couldn't beat around the bush on this issue, so he had to tell the truth, 'I know, his name is Huang Chengzhong. He has always worked in the forestry system. Originally, he was in Liangjiahe Township before the merger, but now he has been transferred to the town for more than four years,'
'I've asked for details about what you said. They plan to invest in a silk base and a silk quilt factory, which together will cost tens of millions,' but then County Magistrate Zhao stopped talking about Huang Chengzhong.
'County Magistrate, our town is very suitable. Although there are fewer silkworms being raised these two years, as long as they buy them at the right price, we can definitely mobilise enough people to raise silkworms, and they won't even need to set up a base,'
'Why don't you think about it more? Do you think they won't think of this? Since they have proposed to set up a base, they must have their own reasons. For example, they will probably introduce new, advanced mulberry varieties and silkworm breeds with high yields and good quality, which will have a very positive effect on the entire silkworm industry in the county, without costing the government a thing.'
'Yes, yes, you are the thoughtful and comprehensive one, County Magistrate,'
'In addition, they also intend to set up a production base for baby products. According to their plan, the investment is estimated to be even greater,'
'Oh?'
'If we work hard, we can also persuade them to build a hotel in the county,'
This Feng Zhenchang has deceived me well, there are actually so many projects, 'County Magistrate, don't worry, I can make a military order and definitely take on these investments from them.'
'Still making military orders and still being at ease?' County Magistrate Zhao patted the armrest of his chair, 'If the town and Jiasheng cooperate well, would they not contact the county and town first if they have suitable investment projects?'
At this point, you definitely can't admit that the cooperation has not been good. 'County head, the whole town, from top to bottom, has been fully cooperating with the business activities of those two factories in Jiasheng for several years,'
'Okay,' said County Magistrate Zhao, who had also worked his way up from the grassroots level and knew the ins and outs of the situation. Feng Zhenchang's words were not always true, but Jia Sheng's desire to invest in the county or town was definitely true. The specific details had been kept from Wang Ganqing, and even when he went to the door to ask, he couldn't find out a definite answer, which meant that they had a problem with Wang Ganqing.
'What do you think of this Huang Chengzhong? How should we arrange it?' County Magistrate Zhao naturally heard what Feng Zhenchang meant, and it didn't matter if he misunderstood, it was always a plus for his side, so at this time he brought the topic back around.
'How about,' Wang Ganqing hated his own unreasonable wife more and more, guessing what County Magistrate Zhao meant, 'seconding him to the County Investment Promotion Bureau, just let him be in charge of this matter.'
