Chapter 54: Appetite

Duan Qiyan was simply amazed at Mayor Zhao's performance.

When he accompanied the visit on the spot, he was like a Feng Shui warrior, speaking with slutty and flirting, but he was free to send and receive the right amount in formal negotiations, especially when he was questioned by the other party, he was even more wonderful to say that he did not comment on the other party’s questioning statement. It not only left unlimited operational space for the other party, but also clearly stated the government’s attitude, which forced Duan Qiyan to admit that it was not accidental that Mayor Zhao was at this age and took the position of executive vice mayor.

Duan Qiyan has been in a state of extreme excitement since leaving the Sheraton Hotel.

He could see that the Hong Kong visitors had a very good attitude towards Zhao Guodong, and they frequently mentioned Mr. Li during their conversations, who should be Zhao Guodong's friend, and both of them seemed to trust Mr. Li very much, which means that as Mr. Li's friends, they also had a high recognition of Zhao Guodong.

Zhao Guodong's car was a newly bought Buick New Century. It turned out that the old Accord was handed over to Tong Jiang, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director of the municipal government office. The municipal government bought six at one time. In addition to Mayor He Zhaocheng, Zhao Guodong and Kong Jingyuan both had one. It turned out that only four units were determined to buy one, one each of the municipal party secretary, mayor, director of the National People's Congress, and chairman of the CPPCC. However, seeing that the work of clearing the deduction and cashing out was very successful, Chen Yinglu instructed to add two units. In addition to Zhao Guodong, Tan Lifeng, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also had one, which caused a considerable shock half a month ago. It also allowed Zhao Guodong to see Chen Yinglu's boldness in this regard.

Zhao Guodong, who was only offline in December last year, has always admired it. It has a heavy chassis, wide space, and looks quite imposing, but the fuel consumption is relatively high, but it is quite in line with the identity of an official car. For Audi A6, which has not yet been officially launched on the market, Buick New Century is still quite attractive.

Zhao Guodong did not take the driver, but drove by himself. Duan Qiyan asked his own Santana 2000-era Superman to follow Zhao Guodong's car, but he ran into Zhao Guodong's car and got on.

"Why, old Duan, what do you think?" Zhao Guodong realized that Duan Qiyan was a little excited, probably because he was shocked by the momentum of the Hong Kong visitors.

"Mayor Zhao, is this boss Song really such a big style? I think it's incredible to invest 100 million yuan to build Canglong Valley." Duan Qiyan was indeed a little disbelief.

Canglongyu covers less than 800 acres of land and is mountainous. Even if you add the slightest corners and only 800 acres to death, how many tombs can you build? Duan Qiyan calculated that there were only 30,000 tombs. According to Huaiqing's current market price of 30,000 yuan, the most expensive one is only about 10,000 yuan, and the average is 6,000 yuan per person. Even if you spend a few years selling it, it will cost 100,000 yuan. If you simply build it, it will cost over 100 million yuan. This is not the funds that Jiayuan Group needs to pay to the municipal government for the shareholding.

Duan Qiyan estimated Zhao Guodong's appetite. This money is probably not lower than the development cost. In this calculation, it is more than 200 million yuan, and there is basically no profit. Even if the price can be sold, Jiayuan Group invested so much money and took such a big risk. Could it be that it would be so profitable?

"What do you think is impossible?" Zhao Guodong started the car and slowly drove out of the Sheraton.

"I made a rough calculation. If we follow Mr. Luo's words, Jiayuan Group will spend 100 million yuan to build this cemetery. Besides, the amount of funds they need to pay to the municipal government if they hold shares. I estimate that the amount will not be small. Calculated in this way, according to the current market price, this cemetery will definitely not be profitable. Of course, Jiayuan Group may think that the current price is too cheap and after the packaging is made, the price will definitely rise, but I still think that the risk for Jiayuan Group is too great, and they may not dare to invest so much." Duan Qiyan decided to tell the truth.

"The risk is too great? Old Duan, I think you still regard the courage of your Hong Kong compatriots as a little too small, and the profits of this industry are too thin, right? Don't think that I don't know the profits of this funeral industry. I don't know the tricks below your Civil Affairs Bureau?" Zhao Guodong glanced at Duan Qiyan.

"Hehe, Mayor Zhao, no secret matters are done. The funeral industry is a monopoly industry. Our civil affairs line depends on this part to help. Mayor Zhao, you must understand us." Duan Qiyan touched his slightly raised head awkwardly, "However, if Jiayuan Group really invests as Mr. Luo said, according to the current market conditions, it is indeed not optimistic."

"Hmph, old Duan, how much do you think Jiayuan Group needs to pay to our municipal government to acquire half of the equity of this joint venture?" Zhao Guodong smiled slightly.

"Uh, this, Mayor Zhao, I think about 100 million." Duan Qiyan knew that Mayor Zhao didn't like to circle around.

"One hundred million? Old Duan, you can say it too much?" Zhao Guodong smiled softly, "You underestimate the accumulated influence of Huaiqing, a historical and cultural city and the value of the Feng Shui treasure land of Canglongyu, right? Let me tell you that if there are no two hundred million, I don't even bother to talk to them."

"Two million?" Duan Qiyan was shocked. This was too unreliable. The lion said this even though he was not like this. "Mayor Zhao, isn't this possible?"

"Impossible? Old Duan, remember one thing, everything is possible! This is just my personal opinion. I guess moving to Secretary Chen and Mayor He, this price may not be possible." Zhao Guodong turned into the main road with a turning light. "The Jiayuan Group cannot reach an agreement, and there are also Anleyuan Group. As long as there are two companies, we can get along well with each other. As for what you just said, I can only say that your vision is too narrow. You are completely focused on the Huaiqing circle. I tell you that if Hong Kong people really want to invest so much to build, it is definitely not for us Huaiqing people."

"Since this Canglongyu Cemetery is positioned as the top Feng Shui treasure land for Chinese people in the world, it is aimed at Chinese people all over the world. Let me tell you, in Hong Kong, a so-called Feng Shui treasure cave location is often hundreds of thousands or millions. The price in your mind is completely based on the service price of our Huaiqing locals. It is the cemetery business under your Civil Affairs Bureau. Canglongyu and your cemetery are completely different. As for the operation, don't worry, whether it is Jiayuan Group or Anleyuan Group, it is a hundred times more professional than you and me. The trick in the middle does not require you and I to worry about it."

Duan Qiyan had to admit that his mind, who had always been quite proud, could not keep up with Mayor Zhao's thinking. People said it very clearly that the Canglongyu Cemetery was not for the locals in Huaiqing at all. It was spoken elegantly and implicitly, but the subtext behind it was very straightforward. The Canglongyu Cemetery became a so-called top yin-shui treasure land for the world's top yin-houses, and was to earn the suckers who believed in Feng Shui in other places.

When Zhao Guodong came out of He Zhaocheng's office, he could no longer suppress his anger.

He Zhaocheng's attitude made him very dissatisfied. He did not ask about the results of the negotiation, but was concerned about whether such a thing would have any negative impact on the government and whether it would cause an impact on the city's spiritual civilization construction work. This made Zhao Guodong feel a little ridiculous. Even Hong Kong people can understand what he said. Why doesn't Mayor Zhao understand?

I have already made it clear that the Party Committee and the government will not intervene in these matters. This is purely a cemetery jointly developed by the entity units under the Civil Affairs Bureau and Hong Kong capital. Not to mention the difficulty and impact of this, He Zhaocheng's attitude made Zhao Guodong, who was originally full of confidence, feel a little pressure. If the mayor has a negative or negative attitude towards this, how can you win the support of the province? This is a joint venture cemetery, which needs to be submitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval. If you, the top leader of the municipal government, have this attitude, what else can you do about this matter?

A ray of worries lingered in Zhao Guodong's heart and could not be removed. He Zhaocheng had obviously had a trace of disagreement with him. Although he was very generous in the issue of transferring Gui Quanyou to the Huaiqing Municipal Government and expressing his support and understanding at the same time, Zhao Guodong was very moved at that time, but what happened later made Zhao Guodong speechless.

He could not understand how He Zhaocheng viewed and considered this matter, but it was obvious that He Zhaocheng was not very interested in this matter, and he was not even interested in the benefits that his own introduction might bring to Huaiqing's finances, so that Zhao Guodong had no time to introduce the follow-up matters and then he had to do it.

Now this situation is still a little bit scratching. He Zhaocheng is not very interested, or he is too sensitive to the negative effects that may be brought about by this matter. Even if the on-site meeting for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization in the province is to be held in Huaiqing, Zhao Guodong did not think that this matter would have much impact on the convening of the meeting, but He Zhaocheng did not think so.

Although he did not explicitly object to this idea, he expressed his intention to push the matter backward, but it was not easy to deal with in Hong Kong. Since he had the intention to cooperate, the next step should be to negotiate in detail, but he did not obtain He Zhaocheng's approval. How to discuss this matter? Even if Chen Yinglu had strong support, this matter was no longer easy to handle, especially in such a delicate environment, it was even more difficult to handle.
