Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chen Pingjiang got off work early, which was a rare occasion. It was only 4 p.m. when he returned to Zhongshan Villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, he asked his mother, "What's the matter? Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"

Although he said this, his mind was actually as clear as a mirror, and he knew roughly what was going on.

Xu Fangjuan stretched out her arms and nudged her husband next to her, "Let your father tell you, he will know everything once he explains it."

Chen Guangming slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Today, your mother and I received several calls. One of them was from the community, asking us when we would be back, saying that the people in our hometown were looking forward to our return. There was also a call from your mother and my former unit, with almost the same meaning. There was also a call from the county governor whom I met, who said he wanted to come to visit."

"After your mother and I analyzed the situation, we realized that these people's real intentions were definitely not to get involved with you. But mobilizing so many people in such a short period of time is definitely not an ordinary matter. How could we dare to agree to it? What have you been doing recently?"

Chen Pingjiang picked up a handful of melon seeds from the coffee table and started to eat them. "It's about what I guessed. It's nothing big. They're planning to build a car factory. The leaders in Tongcheng heard the news and wanted to try to get it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fangjuan and Chen Guangping looked at each other and then shut up.

The good thing about the two elders is that they never interfere with Chen Pingjiang's work or give him advice. Normally, when relatives ask for help, they will help them secretly and never bother Chen Pingjiang, let alone such a big matter.

Chen Pingjiang found it a little funny to see the two elders like this. "It's okay for us to talk behind closed doors. Don't worry. Even if you help to talk, I probably won't listen."

"Little bastard..." Xu Fangjuan laughed and scolded after hearing this: "What can your father and I understand? But we were born and raised in Tongcheng. Everything there is good. It is a hometown that we can never go back to. But doing business is different. You can't just open a factory for the sake of hometown love. If you lose money or go bankrupt, it will be a joke."

"Oh my. Our ideological level is really high!" Chen Pingjiang took the opportunity to flatter.

…………

Just as Chen Pingjiang thought, the cities are not only competing on the surface, but also playing the emotional card in private.

The people in Heshi naturally brought out their father-in-law Yan Liming. He had a great meal last time and wanted to eat some more this time.

However, Chen Pingjiang called Yan Liming, and although the other party said that he didn't need to consider his factors and that it would all depend on the company's on-site inspection results, Chen Pingjiang knew that he still hoped that Jiuzhou Automobile could be put into operation.

Things were too much in Dongjiang. District and city leaders came to his house one after another. Chen Pingjiang had to see some of them, but he could only chat with them and talk about other things. He felt very uncomfortable.

But no matter what, Chen Pingjiang refused to give in.

This is a matter of principle and we must not be soft-hearted.

In order to attract Tesla, Shanghai not only sold land at low prices and implemented large tax cuts and refunds, but also provided strong financial support. Most importantly, it worked hard on policy approval and infrastructure support, which eventually attracted the golden phoenix.

This is not just a small amount of money, it is a discount worth tens of billions.

Although this money is of no use to Chen Pingjiang, it is different for Jiuzhou Automobile. Although he is the major shareholder of Jiuzhou Automobile, he still has to consider the ideas of BYD as a minority shareholder. It is impossible for him to decide things on his own.

…………

Wang Wenyue is the second in command of the city and the person in charge of the economy. He is the leader of the Jiuzhou Automobile Investment Project Team.

After the mobilization meeting, he immediately took his men on the high-speed rail directly to Dongjiang.

He rented a few rooms in a hotel near Renren.com headquarters, where he spent every day looking at data and doing research, and most importantly, seeking to meet with Chen Pingjiang. He did meet with Jiuzhou Auto CEO Yin Yunxiang, but the conversation was not long.

What made Wang Wenyue most uncomfortable was that the other party, whether intentionally or unintentionally, let the Tongcheng investment promotion team meet local cadres from Dongjiang in the company.

Although the other party didn't say anything, his expression was not friendly.

"Mayor Wang, the comrade who contacted Mr. Chen's parents just called."

"How is it?" Wang Wenyue looked up and asked quickly.

The staff member shook his head: "The other party said it is not suitable to go home. The two elders went on a trip abroad yesterday morning and will not be back in the short term."

"Oh, oh!" Wang Wenyue nodded, knowing that the other party was deliberately avoiding him.

I feel so wronged that I can't express it. I shouldn't have come here a long time ago.

Comparing Tongcheng with heavyweight players such as Dongjiang and Shanghai is somewhat ironic.

"What should we do now? We can't see Mr. Chen, and we can't see Mr. Chen's parents either. Jiuzhou Automobile neither refuses nor nods, and keeps dragging it on like this?" someone complained.

"We can only wait and see. If we go back now, won't we be criticized? We should at least wait until the results come out."

"But I have a lot of things to do. I can't keep wasting time like this."

"..."

Wang Wenyue also heard the discussion among the people below. Just as he was about to scold them, he saw the secretary walk in quickly with a happy look on his face: "Leader, Secretary Luo, the secretary of Director Chen, just called and asked us to meet in Director Chen's office in an hour."

Wang Wenyue was stunned at first, then ecstatic: "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and prepare all the materials, we will set off now."

"Isn't it too early to go now? It only takes five minutes for us to get there by taxi, and we will have to wait there too."

Wang Wenyue criticized with a smile: "You are too young, this is a problem of attitude. The fact that we left so quickly shows our sincerity and that we are always nearby."

Chen Pingjiang's meeting with the leading cadres of Tongcheng was a move he could not avoid. People from his hometown had come from far away, but he never showed up. If it got out, it would not sound good and people would think he was heartless.

At least there is no way to avoid public opinion.

After seeing Wang Wenyue in the office, Chen Pingjiang asked everyone to sit down, then said with a smile: "Mayor Wang, this is the first time we meet."

Although Wang Wenyue has the final say in Tongcheng, he dares not act arrogantly in Chen Pingjiang's territory, especially when he needs help from others.

"Yes, I have just been in office for a year. Over the years, I have always heard that there are talented people in Tongcheng. I have known Mr. Chen for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. When I met him today, I found that Mr. Chen is indeed vigorous and handsome. Over the years, the people of his hometown have also hoped that Mr. Chen would have the opportunity to go back and visit."

Luo Wentao, who was pouring tea next to him, did not change his expression, and almost laughed out loud in his heart, "It seems that Mayor Wang also worked as a secretary in his early years. What a nice thing to say..."

Chen Pingjiang nodded and explained, "I've been a bit busy these days. I just finished my work and now I have time to meet people from my hometown. I'm sorry for being so slow." (End of this chapter)
