"Boss Tang, let introduce everyone to you..." Yang Kai was continuously introducing everyone present to Tang Qing. However, there were only a few people that Tang Qing didn’t know, such as the heads of two departnts and three major businessn from Qingyan City. The rest were all acquaintances. As the deputy president of the Sheng Tang Group, Qi Yan certainly qualified to sit here.
Yes, after the formation of the group, titles had changed with ti, and Yang Kai beca the president as expected.
"Mayor Zeng, hello. Sorry I’m late." Tang Qing extended his hand courteously.
Zeng Quan looked Tang Qing up and down, not finding any arrogance or domineering attitude. On the contrary, he seed very approachable. He had been worried that Tang Qing would show arrogance due to his privileged position and disregard him.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of Tang Qing.
"Boss Tang, very impressive. You’re young and talented." Zeng Quan said with a smile.
Tang Qing responded, "It’s just so minor business. Mayor Zeng, you’re too kind. Please, have a seat. Everyone, please make yourselves at ho."
Constrained.
Several people twitched at the corners of their mouths.
You really have the nerve to say that.
The one who should be constrained is you, right? Everyone here is your elder.
Those who knew the inside story didn’t find anything inappropriate. Everyone at this table, excluding Tang Qing, were seasoned warriors of the business field and were highly unlikely to let things get awkward. Led by Liu Qian, the atmosphere gradually loosened up, and the conversation got underway pretty quickly.
"Hey, watch out. Little Tang is not yet of age, don’t corrupt him." Even before Feng Hai could speak, Zeng Quan hurriedly intervened.
Vulgar jokes were sothing you shared with your peers over als to liven up the atmosphere. But since both Liu Qian and Feng Hai were present, Zeng Quan, seeing a hint of helplessness in Tang Qing’s eyes, quickly put an end to it. After all, what elder would want soone to speak vulgarities in front of his juniors?
"Okay, today we’ll just drink without discussing inappropriate things. Whoever slips up has to punish themselves with three drinks." Liu Qian pitched in.
"Three drinks is not enough for a punishnt, at least four." Another big boss, sensing the mood was different, hurriedly remarked.
"No, you’re the one who likes talking about such things, like last ti...if you do it again, it’s five glasses. I bet you can’t resist..."
"Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ntion it? Hmm, I’ll take that bet. Six glasses..."
"..."
They’re not driving, but they can certainly boast. This conversation was pushed to a miraculous twenty drinks. Tang Qing was amazed at the jokes that could be played out. When people get bored, they can play around with even the silliest things.
This referred to this group of people.
Tang Qing also made a toast one by one to show his gratitude, familiarizing himself with the big shots of the political and business circles in Qingyan City.
Seeing Tang Qing’s great popularity, everyone was naturally willing to network, and he received quite a few business cards in return.
Each ti, Tang Qing would introduce Yang Kai, indicating quite clearly that if there was sothing that needed attention, they should first seek Yang Kai, and only find him if it was urgent. The big businessn of Qingyan City could only smile bitterly at this arrangent.
So he’s being selective about company.
Interesting.
It’s normal for talented people to have certain quirks.
In the course of the conversation, Tang Qing suddenly rembered the content of yesterday’s eting.
"Mayor Zeng, our Sheng Tang Group feels a bit cramped in our current office location. I was wondering if the governnt could provide us with a larger piece of land for our headquarters and factory. The suburbs would do." Tang Qing stated. In order to get land, you naturally had to seek the officials. The better the land, the more urgent the quest; it’s not wise to pass up a free opportunity.
Although Zeng Quan was a bit inebriated, he wasn’t one to make random promises. After so thought, he said, "That’s no problem. There’s a good piece of land in the developnt zone. It’s currently farmland and was only incorporated into the zone last month. It’s more than three thousand acres wide, right, District Mayor Sun?" He then turned and asked Sun Qing, the mayor of the Economic Developnt Zone.
"Yes, Mayor Zeng. It’s a place with a total of thirty-eight hundred acres. A river also flows through the middle," quickly confird Sun Qing, who put down his chopsticks to report. The developnt zone’s good performance led the city leaders to decide on expanding its boundaries, attracting more investnts.
"Hm, Boss Tang, how much land do you need?" Zeng Quan asked Tang Qing.
"Oh? Is it the piece of land to the right of Fengqing Road?" Tang Qing’s eyes lit up as he recalled the urban planning of future Qingyan City. The city center was moving westward, and the vicinity of this plot would gradually develop into an urban area. Because of its proximity to the river, this area would be filled with high-end communities and villas, rivaling the downtown business district of Qingyan City.
That’s quite a harvest.
Although the river is sowhat murky now, it will regain clarity after a year or two of comprehensive environntal improvent. If he can obtain this land, it would be quite good. He’s not interested in using it to build comrcial real estate, but rather to provide a good environnt for his company.
"Yes, you know it?" Zeng Quan asked with a hint of surprise.
"I’ve just heard of it. Can all of this land be given to Sheng Tang?" Tang Qing asked, opening negotiations.
"Can you even use it all? This is industrial land, you can’t develop it into real estate," Zeng Quan responded with a frown. This land was ant for building factories to attract investnts and increase employnt.
"I’m aware. All of this will be for the usage of the Sheng Tang Group. The supply chain of Sheng Tang needs to be re-planned. We must ensure that at least 20% of the garnts are produced in our own factories. We’re planning to build a large-scale factory which could provide around 3000 job positions," Tang Qing put forth his terms.
Upon hearing of the 3000 job opportunities, Zeng Quan already had his answer.
This represents three thousand families.
The condition is enough. As to whether there will be no land later, well, just approve a new one in the standing committee. It’s not a big deal.
"Alright, I approve this land for you. Mayor Sun, is that okay?" Zeng Quan decided.
"No, no problem, if we can provide three thousand jobs, the land won’t be a problem." Sun Qing was also excited. This was a clear achievent.
Done.
Tang Qing and Yang Kai were very happy. Although Tang Qing did not give heads up in advance, after all, Tang Qing was the chairman, and this is such a good thing, what else could they say?
"Well, thank you Mayor Zeng, and District Mayor Sun too." Tang Qing thanked them.
"There’s no need for formalities, Tang. We’re all serving the people." Sun Qing hastily replied.
"Tang, I hope you’ll continue to support the developnt of our hotown in the future." Zeng Quan said.
"Of course, it’s our duty. Just prepare for the infrastructure and land requisition by then, we will accelerate construction. We might also ask you to pull so strings for the Sheng Tang to get a loan." Tang Qing stated his other intention.
A play completely out of the ordinary.
"A loan? Are you coming to for that?" Zeng Quan was a bit puzzled, usually people go to the bank for loans.
"Yes, you are the parent official of our Qingyan City. We want to borrow between one hundred and fifty million to two hundred million RMB." Tang Qing smiled.
Upon hearing this.
Zeng Quan instantly understood Tang Qing’s intention, such a large amount of loans would be hard to co by in a small place like Qingyan City. Even having enough balance left is a problem. But if he steps in, things would be a bit easier.
After all, the bank would also consider the powers of local influential persons.
"You want the loan to build factories." Zeng Quan asked.
"Yes, and also for constructing branches and advertising, but the most important thing is to build our own strength." Tang Qing said simply.
Zeng Quan thought for a mont and then said.
"Okay, I can only say I’ll give it a shot, whether it works or not is up to you."
At this comnt.
Tang Qing laughed. It was done.
There was nothing uncertain about this matter now.
"Thank you, Mayor Zeng." Tang Qing thanked.
A loan of over a hundred and fifty million would require at least 250 million in assets as a guarantee. Did Sheng Tang have that many assets? Of course, it was a common consensus among the business community.
What followed was even more lively.
After the third round of drinking.
Everyone from all other tables ca to toast, and Tang Qing of course also joined in raising and offering toasts. Those who could sit at their table were not ordinary people.
Wild and confused from the alcohol.
Lingering drunkenness.
But Tang Qing was like nothing had happened. He drank alcohol like water, refusing no one. If they wanted to get him drunk, he’d make them doubt their life choices. After experiencing Tang Qing’s drinking capacity, everyone gave him a thumbs up. What a capability!
Everyone was eating and drinking.
One and a half hours later.
Lunchti was over.
Everyone said their goodbyes and left.
So even made appointnts for the next gathering.
PS: Thanks to the readers ’how to be chic’, ’love without hurt’, and ’running Pegasus’ for their generous votes, thank you, guys.
