The lending bank has been decided.
However, the details of the loan are still under negotiation.
Chu Yue's team is very cautious.
They didn't rush to sign the loan contract.
Because they know very well that the more critical the mont, the more cautious one must be and behave normally!
For example, they need to negotiate the interest rate of the loan.
It's impossible to just accept whatever the bank offers.
Their identity is that of a businessman.
Businessn don't get up early for no profit.
They must behave like a normal businessman.
Therefore, regarding the loan interest rate, both they and the bank are in a stalemate, neither willing to compromise, extrely tense.
And their behavior has not raised any suspicion in Du Lingchun.
If they agreed imdiately, Du Lingchun would feel sothing was amiss.
One could say that Chu Yue's team is exceptionally professional, with precise control over human nature.
Just as Chu Yue's team was in intense discussions with the bank about the loan, Zheng Bihui was also handling the important tasks for the next stage!
That is, demolition!
According to the investnt contract signed between the city governnt and Chu Yue, the city governnt needs to demolish the Lingjiang City Public Security Bureau and the Tongchi Governnt Building within one month of the contract coming into effect.
Both places are in the center of Tongchi District.
Zheng Bihui had not ntioned this matter to anyone beforehand, not even Jiang Yuan.
Because he knew the resistance to this matter was huge.
If Jiang Yuan knew, he might not agree.
So, he decided to act first and report later!
Only he had reviewed the details of the investnt contract.
Others could see it too, but no one would care to read a boring contract thoroughly.
Their focus was drawn by the impressive investnt of 7 billion from Huaxing Company and their bold claim to build the Lingjiang CBD center.
"Sst~"
Zheng Bihui took a deep drag of his cigarette and pressed the stub into the ashtray.
He grabbed his black coat and walked out.
As he left the office, Secretary Sun hurriedly caught up: "Mayor, where are you going?"
Zheng Bihui replied without turning his head: "Contact Director Qin and all mbers of the district governnt, have them et at the Tongchi Governnt Building."
Secretary Sun acknowledged, imdiately picked up the phone to start calling.
Zheng Bihui walked towards Jiang Yuan's office.
Secretary Fang Wei was about to stand up and greet him, but he gestured for him to stay seated and pushed the office door open himself.
Jiang Yuan was conversing with Secretary Zhang, and upon seeing the office door open without a knock, his brow slightly furrowed.
But seeing it was Zheng Bihui, he smiled: "Mayor Zheng."
"Comrade Jiang Yuan, oh, Comrade Zhang Xiaoxian is here too."
Zheng Bihui smiled: "If you both have ti, co with for a mont."
The two exchanged glances, unsure of what Zheng Bihui was up to.
But since the Mayor invited, they couldn't refuse.
Thus, they followed Zheng Bihui downstairs.
anwhile, Secretary Sun, having completed the calls, joined them.
The sky began to drizzle.
They headed towards the parking lot.
Secretary Sun stepped forward to open the car door.
Zheng Bihui smiled: "Comrade Jiang Yuan, Comrade Zhang Xiaoxian, please get in."
The two, skeptical, sat in the car.
The car drove towards Tongchi District.
Tiny raindrops tapped against the car windows, as outside, Lingjiang was shrouded under a curtain of rain. Beneath Zheng Bihui's calm exterior, waves surged.
Half an hour later, the car reached the Tongchi Governnt.
The leaders of all departnts in the district governnt were already waiting here.
Director Qin had also arrived.
"Mayor Zheng."
Seeing Mayor Zheng arrive, they all greeted him in unison.
Lagging behind, Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xiaoxian grew increasingly puzzled.
What exactly was Zheng Bihui up to?
Zheng Bihui stood in the district governnt's main hall, scanned the crowd, and announced: "The Tongchi Governnt Building is to be demolished."
What?
The crowd was a bit stunned by this unexpected statent.
Why demolish a perfectly good governnt building?
Zheng Bihui then looked at Qin Yuejin: "The Lingjiang City Public Security Bureau is also to be demolished."
Qin Yuejin's brows furrowed deeply. What was going through Zheng Bihui's mind?
Zheng Bihui continued: "The investnt contract between Huaxing Company and the city governnt focuses on developing the Lingjiang CBD with Tongchi District at its core, expanding to the whole city."
"The first phase requires demolishing the district governnt and public security bureau."
"Huaxing Company will build two 480-ter twin skyscrapers on the original sites of the district governnt and public security bureau!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xiaoxian frowned tightly.
They knew that the investnt from Huaxing Company was substantial, but they did not know that the investnt was conditional upon the demolition of the public security bureau and district governnt.
Moreover, Zheng Bihui hadn't inford them either.
Jiang Yuan was a bit angry.
"Mayor Zheng." Jiang Yuan's expression was not pleasant.
As soon as he started speaking, Zheng Bihui knew what he was going to say.
Zheng Bihui interrupted him, smiling: "Comrade Jiang Yuan, this project is not mine alone."
"I am the head of the city governnt, and you are the second in command. This is our joint project."
"Furthermore, this is just the initial investnt."
"I have been in Lingjiang for a few years now, but how much longer will I be here?"
"The subsequent investnts will also require Mayor Jiang's cooperation."
Jiang Yuan's face looked a bit better.
This guy isn't monopolizing the benefits.
That's pretty decent.
Zheng Bihui continued: "Huaxing Company's goal is not just a city CBD. In their proposal, within three years, they aim to build a large international airport in Lingjiang that can accommodate all models of aircraft!"
He walked up to Jiang Yuan, placing a hand on his shoulder, and said seriously: "We don't seek speed or volu. It doesn't have to be as quick as three years. In my view, stretching the tiline to five or eight years is perfectly acceptable!"
"As long as we keep building, Lingjiang's GDP will grow rapidly!"
"I anticipate that just this year, Lingjiang's GDP growth rate will be 60%!"
"In the next five years, the average annual growth rate will not be less than 50%!"
This statent made Jiang Yuan's heart leap suddenly.
He glanced at the crowd, seeing their bright eyes and expressions full of enthusiasm and excitent.
GDP growth of not less than 50% annually!
This ant that everyone present would benefit from the dividends of this investnt and construction!
And, under the rapid GDP growth, aside from their political achievents, they could secure unimaginable financial gains from this project!
Just as everyone was imrsed in excitent, Zheng Bihui suddenly walked toward the district governnt gate.
Standing in front of the gate, gazing at Lingjiang in the fine rain.
Tongchi District is elevated, with dozens of steps at the governnt building.
From here, one could gaze into the expanse of Lingjiang.
Zheng Bihui gazed intently at the city, standing silently against the wind, the brisk wind lifting the hem of his coat.
Suddenly, with great enthusiasm, he pointed towards the rain-shrouded Lingjiang City and declared: "A new Lingjiang City is about to be born in our hands. This is a great cause benefiting our current and future generations, requiring the effort of everyone, relying on , on you, on everyone."
This speech instantly roused the crowd's fighting spirit and passion.
Even Jiang Yuan felt a surge of imnse pride in his chest at that mont.
Although he had always stayed in Lingjiang, he had once thought of advancing to the provincial level and achieving great accomplishnts!
But he well knew that one cannot have both fish and bear's paw at the sa ti, and one can't have both.
But now, the opportunity has co!
This project is under the city governnt's purview.
It's managed by him and Zheng Bihui!
Once the project is successfully completed, Jiang Yuan's na would be rembered by the people of Lingjiang!
Even a hundred years from now, the descendants of Lingjiang will rember that there was once a Deputy Mayor nad Jiang Yuan!
Who contributed significantly to the construction of Lingjiang!
In that instant, Jiang Yuan's resolve was firm.
He turned to face the crowd and firmly declared a single word: "Demolish!"
