Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 725 Testing

Xiaowei, Chen Hui, and Xia Maosheng have discussed the issue of how to operate such a large building many times. Construction has already begun in Xingcheng, so this is an inevitable issue. Therefore, they have a relatively mature plan for the general idea and operation method.

Mayor Mi nodded and said, "Can we include this part about the construction in the contract?"

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, but I hope that the details of our property purchase and land acquisition can also be reflected in the contract, as well as the relevant policies, prices, and services. After all, our trip here is not a matter of just one or two days, but of ten, twenty, or thirty years. It would be good if everyone was aware of this."

Mayor Mi nodded and said, "That's only right. We at Xidu sincerely welcome your investment. We will do our best to satisfy you in every aspect. If you have any problems, just come to me."

Also, if you need a loan, you must have at least 30% of the investment amount in your own funds, and the project must be implemented and reach a certain stage of construction before you can apply for a loan. You should keep this in mind beforehand.

"For such a large project, it's perfectly feasible to find a partner. Firstly, the financial pressure wouldn't be so great—three heads are better than one. Secondly, locals are more familiar with the area, making things much easier. If you're interested, I can certainly help."

Xiao Wei said, "There's no need to worry about that. We don't need Xidu to provide any loan-related services, Mayor Mi, you can rest assured."

Mayor Mi was somewhat surprised. In this day and age, investing without loans is practically a rare breed, including foreign investors. They come in and immediately discuss local loans; it's the primary condition for a project to be implemented. Generally, the project is built with local funds, and then the profits are gradually repaid.

Some are simply loan scammers. Once they get the loan, they find an excuse to disappear, leaving the project unfinished and waiting for the bank to repossess it.

Moreover, Mayor Mi blinked. Didn't this person understand what I meant? I've explained it quite clearly.

Chen Hui frowned slightly, lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said slowly, "My father is the executive deputy director of the Northeast Electric Power Bureau, and my mother is the deputy director of the Northeast Financial Management Bureau of the People's Bank of China. You don't need to trouble yourself with the loan. Just make sure the land price and policies are favorable. We won't run away or cut off funding halfway. As for other matters, my brother and I have good relationships with the military, and they can give us the usual face."

Mayor Mi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately forced a smile: "You are... Director Chen and Director Meng's child? Oh my, I didn't expect them to be a family, hahaha, this is quite a situation. Your parents and I are old acquaintances, but I really didn't know they were a family."

"Oh dear, that means my work wasn't up to par. Okay, that's fine then. Don't worry, Xidu is extremely sincere with investors, and our policies will definitely satisfy you."

Chen Hui said, "Thank you so much. Mayor Mi and all the leaders will have to put in a lot of effort and support. We always do things the way we say they are, and we will never say one thing and do another. This project will definitely be done well."

Furthermore, it's too early to discuss specific operational issues now. Once it's built, we can find a place to sit down and talk about it slowly. At that time, we'll definitely need Mayor Mi's guidance.

Mayor Mi adjusted his glasses, laughed heartily, and said, "Okay, okay, we'll exchange ideas then." He turned his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "In terms of scale and sophistication, where does this project rank in Northeast China?" He glanced at the planning bureau official.

An official from the planning bureau said, "There are no buildings of this scale in northern Jilin."

Xiao Wei said, "In terms of building scale, it should be the largest in Northeast China. I can't say for sure about the height. I don't know if there are any tall buildings in Harbin, but compared to Fengtian and Xidu, it should rank in the top five, or maybe the top three."

Mayor Mi clapped his hands and said, "Good, good. Xidu is built rather haphazardly due to historical reasons, and most of the buildings are low-rise, which is inconsistent with Xidu's political status."

Our next plan is to widen roads and build a modern city. We will learn from coastal cities and emulate Shenzhen and Shanghai to create an international metropolis.

It needs to be tall, large, and advanced; it needs to be distinctive and impressive. The departments below are currently working diligently on the planning and design. We welcome your sister groups to participate and will give you the green light. Xidu's development still depends on you.

Xiao Wei said, "Mayor Mi, you're too kind. I'm almost embarrassed by what you're saying. Anyway, if there's anything we can do, we definitely won't back down. Let's discuss it again later. When do you think this matter can be settled?"

Mayor Mi thought for a moment and said, "There's still a lot of work to be done. How about this, we sign the contract the day after tomorrow afternoon in the city hall auditorium? What do you think?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a good look around Xidu these next couple of days."

Mayor Mi stood up, extended his right hand to Chen Hui, and said, "Then it's settled. I'll send a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow afternoon. You should rest well. If anything happens, just let the hotel know. If you need a car or anything, you can ask. I'll let them know in a bit."

Chen Hui also stood up, shook hands with Mi Shi, and said, "Thank you."

Mayor Mi then extended his hand to Xiao Wei, who stood up and shook his hand. Mayor Mi said, "Goodbye, have a good rest."

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui escorted Mayor Mi and his entourage downstairs. When they returned to their room, Li Weibing and Wang Gang were already out of the bedroom, sitting on the sofa smoking. Wang Gang asked, "How was it?"

Chen Hui sat down and said, "What can we do? This mayor is something else. This is the first time I've encountered someone like this. He's openly asking for it. I'm really impressed."

Li Weibing was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want? That's impossible. He likes construction. Judging from his attitude, he wants to tear down the whole of Xidu and build high-rise buildings all over it. I haven't seen anything else like that."
