Chapter 678 International Customs Street

Next, Suning brought his wife Liang Sisen to visit a group of leaders at the Beijing Chemical Headquarters, and only then did he temporarily put aside his worries about the acquisition of Jinzhou Chemical Plant. After all, with the help of Secretary Shui and Lu Xiaodi, and the support of huge funds and advanced technology, as long as the workers of Jinzhou Chemical Plant were not stupid, they would definitely know to choose Su Zi Hyatt.

As for Min Zhongsheng and his brother-in-law Li Yunning who were making a fuss, Suning actually didn't take them too seriously, because he had evidence of Min Zhongsheng's illegal activities in recent years, and he only needed to throw Min Zhongsheng into the trash when the time was right.

However, Suning also needs to consider in advance the negative impact after the matter is exposed. Suning does not mind offending Min Zhongsheng and Li Yunning, but it will definitely make the entire chemical system wary and exclude itself. You know, it is not difficult for everyone to guess that it is standing behind the scenes to control everything. If it allows its basic chemical system to exclude itself, then it would be a stupid act that will not make up for the loss. Therefore, Suning is still preparing to make Min Zhongsheng afraid and retreat.

After visiting a group of leaders with his brother-in-law Li Yunning, Min Zhongsheng returned home feeling somewhat complacent, only to hear his tigress wife say to him, "Min Zhongsheng, there's a letter for you on the table."

"Ah? Okay! I understand." Min Zhongsheng picked up a letter on the table in surprise, and then opened it directly with some indifference.

Min Zhongsheng was surprised to find that the words on the letter were all printed. He opened the letter and read it quickly, but his face became paler and paler, and Min Zhongsheng's body trembled with fear.

At this time, Min Zhongsheng's wife also noticed Min Zhongsheng's abnormality, and asked him puzzledly, "Old Min, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Wife, who gave you this letter?" After hearing his wife's voice, Min Zhongsheng finally came to his senses again.

"Nonsense! Of course the postman put it in the mailbox at the door." Min Zhongsheng's wife was used to a strong attitude, and she said to Min Zhongsheng in a bad mood.

"Wife, please take a look at the contents of the letter first." Min Zhongsheng handed the letter to his wife with a pale face.

"Ah? Is it that exaggerated?" Min Zhongsheng's wife took the letter indifferently at first, but soon her face turned pale like Min Zhongsheng.

"Old Min, who do you think sent this?" Min Zhongsheng's wife looked at her husband in fear and asked.

"Hey! Wife, who else could it be except that Suning from Donghai City? I didn't expect that he has been staring at me all these years." Min Zhongsheng had completely reacted at this time, and then explained to his wife with a wry smile on his face.

"Ah? Is this Suning a lunatic?" Min Zhongsheng's wife swallowed in fear.

"No! He is not crazy! He just doesn't want me to compete with him for Jinzhou Chemical Plant." At this time, Min Zhongsheng understood Suning's intention and showed a helpless expression.

"what"

In Donghai City, a group of Donghai leaders were holding a meeting in the conference room. Suning sat steadily in his seat and listened quietly. After all, this was more in line with his position in the city. He only needed to raise his hand and vote with the other leaders.

"Mayor Zhang, I heard that a Japanese company wants to invest in building a Japanese cultural street in Donghai?" After voting on several issues in succession, the top leader, Secretary Yan, suddenly turned to look at Mayor Zhang, the second-in-command, and asked.

"Yes, Secretary Yan." Mayor Zhang, Donghai's second-in-command, nodded in confirmation before introducing the company to the other leaders in detail. "This Japanese company is an internationally renowned tourism development company. According to their plan, this Japanese Folk Culture Street in Donghai will surely boost the local economy."

"Well, Mayor Zhang, do you have any concerns?" It was easy to see the hesitation on Mayor Zhang's face, and Secretary Yan asked again with some doubts.

"Yes! Secretary Yan, after all, this Japanese Folk Culture Street is here. Will it be misunderstood and rejected by ordinary people in Donghai?" At this time, Mayor Zhang expressed his biggest concerns and doubts.

"Well, Mayor Zhang, your concerns are very reasonable. We in Donghai have to consider these issues in advance." After hearing the concerns and doubts expressed by Mayor Zhang, Secretary Yan nodded in agreement.

"Secretary Yan, so I haven't issued any instructions yet."

"Mayor Su, you have had contact with Japanese companies at the Donghai Chemical Plant before. Do you think it is necessary to approve this Japanese-style street?" Perhaps feeling that it would be a pity to let the project die, Secretary Yan suddenly looked at Su Ning who was just standing by and asked.

"Secretary Yan, Mayor Zhang, it is certain that ordinary people in Donghai do not understand and reject it, so I think this Japanese-style street can be established, but it must be expanded." Suning couldn't help but think of the noisy Japanese-style street in later generations, and then expressed his opinion very affirmatively.

"Huh? Mayor Su, what exactly do you mean?" At this time, all the leaders in the conference room looked at Su Ning in surprise, finding it difficult to understand the intention of Su Ning's words.

"Secretary Yan, Mayor Zhang, I think we can definitely create a street featuring international customs, such as Korean, Indian, and Pakistani, and Southeast Asian customs. We could even have a European street. This way, the Japanese street wouldn't be so out of place. We could also make the international customs street a tourist postcard for Donghai City, a large project that combines food, drink, entertainment, and shopping. It's definitely a very good development direction for tourism projects in Donghai."

"Huh?" As soon as Su Ning finished speaking, the conference room erupted in amazement, deeply impressed by his boldness. Secretary Yan and Mayor Zhang exchanged a look of confusion, realizing the immense ambitions hidden within Su Ning. Secretary Yan, looking at Su Ning with deep emotion, said, "Mayor Su, it's no wonder that under your leadership, the Donghai Chemical Plant rapidly grew into an international chemical giant. You're truly so decisive."

"Secretary Yan, Mayor Zhang, in fact, the difficult choice our Donghai City is facing is exactly the same as the one the Donghai Chemical Plant made when it chose between a joint venture and purchasing its own equipment for production. Now we just need to break out of our habitual thinking to make the most appropriate choice for Donghai." Suning did not care too much about the shock of Secretary Yan and the other leaders, but continued to explain his ideas concisely.

"Inertial thinking?" Secretary Yan and Mayor Zhang repeated the word in surprise.

"Yes! For example, when the Donghai Chemical Plant launched its second phase project, the conventional wisdom was to choose between a joint venture or purchasing its own equipment for production. However, the Donghai Chemical Plant could have chosen both, and this allowed it to immediately unleash its potential."

"Well, what Mayor Su said makes a lot of sense." At this time, Secretary Yan and Mayor Zhang both nodded in agreement.

"Mayor Su, although your opinions are very pertinent, the current situation is that only one Japanese company wants to build a Japanese-style street. Where can we contact foreign investors for folk-style streets in other countries?" At this time, a city leader began to question Suning's proposal, which once again caused everyone in the meeting room to talk.

"Mayor Chu, we just need to make a detailed plan and make the necessary arrangements, and then spread the news, and foreign investors will come to us on their own initiative. We don't need to focus on foreign investors, as our own domestic companies are very willing to take over this project." Facing the doubts raised by other leaders, Suning explained with a smile.

"Well, Mayor Su, what you said makes a lot of sense." After hearing Su Ning's concise explanation, everyone nodded in agreement again. Even Mayor Chu, who had questioned Su Ning, showed an expression of admiration. "Secretary Yan, Mayor Zhang, Mayor Su's proposal is very feasible. I have no other doubts or questions."

"Mayor Zhang, how do you think this motion should be decided?" Secretary Yan looked at Suning in front of him with satisfaction, then turned to look at Mayor Zhang, the second-in-command, and asked.

"Secretary Yan, I don't have any doubts anymore, but since Mayor Su has considered it so carefully, why not let Mayor Su handle it?"

"Ah? Mayor Zhang, this isn't appropriate, is it?" Su Ning quickly considered refusing. After all, he was only a deputy mayor in charge of science, education, culture, and health, and it wasn't appropriate for him to handle economic matters. "I'm just making a suggestion. I'm not sure I can do it if you really give it to me."

"Haha, Mayor Su, don't be so modest. I can't be too tired recently, so just let me take a break." Mayor Zhang laughed disapprovingly. He didn't care about Su Ning's surprised expression and turned to Secretary Yan, the top leader of Donghai, and asked, "Secretary Yan, do you think this arrangement of mine is okay?"

"Sure! Although it doesn't comply with some regulations, it is indeed appropriate for Mayor Su to take over the project." Secretary Yan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay! Since Secretary Yan and Mayor Zhang have agreed to give it to me, I will try to make a plan. Please forgive me if there are any inappropriate parts." Since the top two leaders agreed to let him take over, Suning gritted his teeth and accepted the task.

"Haha, Mayor Su, just do it boldly. Mayor Zhang and I support you." Looking at the young and courageous Su Ning in front of him, Secretary Yan nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, all the Donghai leaders present in the conference room looked at Suning with different expressions. Recently, there have been rumors in the city that Mayor Zhang is going to be transferred out of Donghai. Seeing that Su Ning was suddenly appointed by both Secretary Yan and Mayor Zhang today, everyone showed meaningful expressions at the same time, realizing that Suning has entered the sight of the big leaders.

Suning did not expect that the "International Style Street" project would fall on him. He had some guesses in his heart that this was the leader's inspection of him, so he took over the "International Style Street" project without any hesitation. This was not a big deal in Suning's hands.

Suning first contacted foreign investors in Japan who were willing to invest. They were also shocked by the larger-scale "International Style Street" introduced by Suning. At the same time, they also cleverly realized that this would be a very large project, and the prospects and benefits would definitely be very broad.

"Mayor Su, is this International Style Street project you mentioned true?" Japanese strongman Jun'ichi Watanabe looked at Su Ning excitedly and asked.

"Of course! Mr. Watanabe, this is a very remarkable project, and it is definitely more promising than the Japanese-style street you proposed." Suning once again solemnly confirmed the project.

"Hi! Mayor Su, our company is willing to take over this project." At this time, Jun'ichi Watanabe immediately stood up excitedly and bowed to Suning.

"Mr. Watanabe, this project involves a huge number of aspects. The investor cannot be just your company. At the same time, we in Donghai will also invite other companies to participate, so as to share the financial pressure of your company." If it was not Jun'ichi Watanabe who first proposed this project investment, Suning actually did not mind kicking the other party away, and how could it let Jun'ichi Watanabe monopolize the entire project.

"Hi! Mayor Su, what you in Donghai are thinking about is very reasonable." Jun'ichi Watanabe is also a shrewd man in the business world. He immediately understood the twists and turns in it, and then accepted it without comment.

Any businessman with a little business acumen and whose company has reached a certain scale believes that Donghai’s "International Style Street" is a high-quality project. Immediately, many domestic and foreign companies came to invest, and the leaders of Donghai City also refreshed their horizons and cognition, and became convinced of Suning’s capabilities and insights.

Next, Suning promoted the project on behalf of Donghai City and selected a Hong Kong tourism development company to participate. Of course, its own Suzi Hyatt also became one of the investors, and then developed the project together with Japan's Jun'ichi Watanabe's development company. Donghai City naturally took up 49% of the project and a part of the land transfer fee by investing in land.

The series of decisive actions taken by Suning after taking over the "International Style Street" project completely refreshed the perception of Donghai City's leaders about Suning. Everyone then realized that Suning possessed vision and capabilities that ordinary people could hardly match. Suning's name once again appeared in the ears of Yanjiang Province's leaders, and everyone listed Suning as their key inspection target.
