Chapter 236
Ma Wenjie was leaving the next day. He was going to Tianjin Port and Yanjing to do something and then to Russia. After a long talk last night, Li Rui did not ask him about investing in a cement factory. He didn't say anything. He still needed to think carefully about his appearance. Li Rui personally sent him to Pengcheng Airport.
The planning of Qingshanquan Town has been basically completed. Under Chen Shiwei's supervision, the Construction Committee has made every effort, including the renovation of Xiaoqing River and the renovation projects of Pengshui River embankment, which have successively passed the project approval work of the second-level planning committees at the county and city levels.
At the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Li Rui made a detailed report on the development of Qingshanquan Town and the idea of coordinating urban and rural areas. The County Standing Committee made a decision under the promotion of Ji Faling. Nanqiao County's economic development implemented a dumbbell-shaped strategy, and the development of Qingshanquan Town was mentioned to the strategic height of economic development in the county, becoming the most dynamic growth pole in the county's economy in the future.
The county party committee also established the Qingshanquan Town Development Leading Group with Yu Shungen and Yang Chao as the heads of the head and deputy group. For a time, politics, public opinion, funds, and projects were all tilting towards Qingshanquan Town...
For businessmen, their sense of money is a hundred times more sensitive than dogs. Although real estate companies are not as numerous as in later generations these days, after the Qingshanquan Town pilot program was approved, real estate developers, including builders and contractors emerged from the field like mushrooms after a rain, as if it was a matter of overnight. Li Rui sat in the office and received three or four people a day, either for dinner or tea. Of course, Li Rui knew what they wanted to do.
Because Qingshanquan Town’s future profits rely on “making money from land”, those real estate developers are all gods of wealth, big and small, and Li Rui treats them well and treats them equally. Of course, they want to build relationships and go to the back door and stick to an iron rule: welcome to invest and develop. Qingshanquan Town implements the same preferential policy for every investor, making friends can be made. Giving money to go through the wrong door without a talk. If you want to acquire land, please participate in the auction at that time. The higher the price will be!
Although there is no land recruitment and auction system these days, both commercial land and industrial land are approved by the leaders, in order to raise as much funds as possible, Li Rui took the initiative to offer advice to Ji Faling, and the transfer of commercial land is auctioned.
Ji Faling agreed to Li Rui's approach through careful consideration. Firstly, it was because the capital investment in Qingshanquan Town's pilot project was extremely huge, and it was impossible to achieve it by relying solely on the financial investment of Nanqiao County; secondly, it was because all the real estate developers had their own relationships and it was difficult to settle them. It was better to adopt the auction method and treat everyone equally and not offend anyone.
In addition to the God of Wealth, those builders and contractors who wanted to undertake projects also gave Li Rui a headache, because most of them either had notes from relevant leaders of all sizes, or had leaders called to say hello. Even Xu Hao, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, who always claimed to be honest, introduced one. However, he did not call himself in person with shame, but asked his secretary to call Li Rui. However, Li Rui was still very disdainful of his fake integrity.
Because of this cold war with Gao Jie during this period, Li Rui basically rarely went back to Pengcheng once on weekends, but at Xue Feng's invitation of one phone call every day a week. Li Rui got off work early on Saturday afternoon and rushed to Pengcheng to make an appointment.
The dining location was not arranged in Huazhongcheng, where we usually have dinner together, but in the Chinese restaurant of the International Hotel. When we walked into the private room, Xue Feng had already sat inside, with a small round table and two chairs.
"Why did you invite me alone today? What does it mean?" Li Rui sat down on another chair and asked with a smile.
"Brother Rui, what can I mean? I just want to invite you to a meal." Xue Feng stood up with a smile and poured a cup of tea for Li Rui himself. "Today we will eat shark fins. Although Lao Zhao's Huazhongcheng is a seafood restaurant, in terms of shark fins, it is still authentic here, and the famous chef from Lingnan is the masterpiece."
"Okay!" Li Rui said in surprise. He was not a green environmentalist in his previous life. He was naturally indispensable for delicious shark fin rice when he lived in Hong Kong. Although he had eaten it several times in Huazhongcheng after his rebirth, the taste was simply not comparable to that made by the chefs in Hong Kong.
Seeing Li Rui's excited look, Xue Feng was also very happy. He quickly ordered the waiter to serve the food and asked, "Brother Rui, what wine should I drink?"
"Just come to the bottle of red wine bar, today we mainly eat shark fin."
The wine and dishes were served quickly. Except for the main dish, shark fins were placed at the end, the other dishes were crispy pigeons, French beef steaks, steamed lobster with garlic and abalone juice. Li Rui couldn't help but praise him at first sight: "Xue Feng, I really can't tell that you are still an old eater."
Xue Feng picked up the goblet and toasted Li Rui, laughing and said, "How can I understand these? I chose the most expensive one for them to match with shark fin sets."
The rare tasting of food full of Hong Kong style made Li Rui's appetite so he feasted. When the braised big fin finally came up, he looked carefully. There were not so many fake shark fins these days, and they were the best big fins. He first sipped a small sip of red Zhejiang vinegar with a spoon, then mixed coriander and silver sprouts into the shark fin soup, and tasted it in small sips. Seeing Xue Feng poured everything, including Zhejiang vinegar into the shark fin, he couldn't help but smile: "Populating vinegar in will destroy the taste of the soup. You should put it in the last sip to relieve the fishy smell."
Xue Feng said carelessly: "Anyway, I don't understand why this thing is eaten. I just think it tastes good. Actually, I have to say that it is similar to vermicelli soup, but because this thing is expensive, it can be eaten with value."
"Hahaha..." As he spent a long time with Xue Feng, Li Rui still liked the true nature he showed inadvertently. Compared with the children of officials he had dealt with in the capital before, Xue Feng was still worth dating. No wonder even Zhang Zhuoyang regarded him as his little brother.
As Xue Feng said, the shark fin here is indeed much more authentic than the ones made in Huazhongcheng. Li Rui had a full meal, lit a cigarette beautifully, and said, "Yes, it seems that it is necessary to give advice to Lao Zhao."
Xue Feng smiled and said, "I have mentioned it to him a long time ago, but he is now busy pre-sale of the apartment in Tengfei Center and has long been out of the restaurant. In fact, the Lingnan chef who is in charge here is also a new arrival. The Chinese restaurant here and the sauna upstairs have been contracted by a Lingnan boss. Especially the sauna is very distinctive, Brother Rui. Let's go up and try it?"
Xue Feng looked like he was whispering his eyes, and Li Rui knew what the so-called feature was. He was very tired during this period. He had nothing to do and steamed, and it was also good to have a massage.
Li Rui has been here on the sauna on the third floor of the International Hotel several times before, but today he has changed a lot. Not only has the overall decoration reached a higher level, but there is also a large surfing bathtub in the bathroom that is five meters square, and there are two large steam rooms for dry steaming and wet steaming next to it. Li Rui first rinsed it, then walked into the steaming room. He scooped a scoop of water and poured it on several hot stones on the stove. With a "wavy", a gust of water vapor was confused, and the temperature in the steaming room suddenly increased.
Xue Feng couldn't stay inside, "Brother Rui, you steam it. I have to go out and get some breath, I can't stand it."
Li Rui stayed inside for more than ten minutes and sweated heavily. He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He jumped into the bathhouse and let the surfing water wash his body, feeling very comfortable.
But he also felt quite strange. In such a big bathhouse, there were only him and Xue Feng, and he didn't see anyone else coming in to take a shower. Xue Feng saw his question and smiled and said, "I'll book this place today. I'll save someone from disturbing me."
So that's the case, Li Rui was not surprised by this. This international hotel is located in the territory of Yu'an District. It's not a piece of cake that Xue Feng can book a sauna here. The Lingnan boss who contracted the restaurant and sauna here might be eager to use this to get in touch with Mr. Xue.
"Tell me. What's the matter?" Of course, there must be something wrong with Xue Feng's move today. In fact, Li Rui had long guessed that there are so many construction projects in Qingshanquan Town, how could Xue Feng not be moved?
"Hehe, Brother Rui, our Yunfeng Group wants to participate in the development and construction of Qingshanquan Town." Xue Feng asked with a smile.
"Isn't your company still undertook the construction of the Tengfei Center? Can you still have a free of manpower?" Li Rui asked.
"The Tengfei Center will be topped up in advance by the end of next month, and our people will be able to withdraw a large number of people. Moreover, Brother Yang of the hotel plans to invite a decoration company from Hong Kong to decorate. There will be nothing in our company in the future. We can fully pull the team out and concentrate on Qingshanquan Town for construction." Xue Feng looked at Li Rui with anticipation.
"How many projects do you want? But I have something to say first. I can't do such a thing alone." Li Rui said.
"Brother Rui, don't be the official accent with me. I know you are making collective decisions, but the power is not in your own hands. As long as you have a clear attitude, who will object! Don't worry, I will follow the rules and follow the actual bidding. As long as you nod, you can do it." Xue Feng said hurriedly.
"Are you so sure?" Li Rui looked at him and smiled.
"Stop teasing, Brother Rui, those bidding agencies need to behave according to your Party A's expression. Besides, I will definitely do a good job after the work. Just find a few more companies to accompany the bidding." As he said that, he leaned closer to Li Rui and said, "Brother Rui, I am not unscrupulous. Isn't your plan six horizontal and nine vertical? Give me the Nine vertical and I guarantee that it will be completed beautifully."
"You kid dares to say that you are not unintentional? You want to swallow all the nine vertical lines, what a big appetite!" Qingshanquan Town plans six horizontal lines and nine vertical lines, and nine vertical lines are six main roads from south to north, including Qingshanquan Street, the longest and widest main road. The total investment is nearly 100 million yuan, which is more than three times the six vertical lines, accounting for more than 60% of the total road construction.
"You must swallow all of the Nine Columns. There are still many leaders who say hello to you, but you can't handle it!" Li Rui thought for a while and pondered: "I can only give you half of the Nine Columns, including Qingshanquan Street."
Actually, it was half, but the cost of Qingshanquan Street was about two-thirds of the other eight streets combined. When Xue Feng heard this, his eyes glowed and hurriedly said, "Okay, Brother Rui, thank you so much. I didn't say that, I understand the rules, two points!"
"Let's talk about this later. The key is that you have to do a good job and help me set the benchmark up."
The reason why Li Rui asked Xue Feng to participate was that, on the one hand, he would do it for everyone, so he naturally had to take care of his own people. Moreover, when Xue Feng's Yunfeng Group was in charge of the construction of the Tengfei Center, the quality was quite guaranteed, and even the supervisor in Hong Kong did not make any mistakes. Secondly, Xue Feng's background was a big shot and the son of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, so that he could block the mouths of many people. Otherwise, he would be really difficult to deal with so many pieces and phone calls. Moreover, as long as the project undertaken by Xue Feng was qualified, some people would have to consider the weight even if they wanted to cut corners. Then, everyone would have nothing to say when they investigated and dealt with.
"This is absolutely fine. Brother Rui, please be calm." Xue Feng patted his skinny chest to express his determination, and then smiled terrifiedly, "Let's go up and relax, right?"
He said relaxed, and his eyes deliberately glanced at the little brother under Li Rui. The size made him envious and jealous.
After rinsing the body, a waiter came to help them dry and change into bathrobes. He walked into a private room to rest. After the waiter brought the tea and fruits, a middle-aged man in his forties who looked thin but looked like a southerner came in, nodded and greeted him, and spoke in Mandarin with a strong Lingnan accent in his mouth, with a tone similar to Yu Meixia.
"Brother Rui, this is Boss Chen here; Boss Chen is my eldest brother, Boss Li." Xue Feng introduced the two.
"Boss Li, I am Chen Shanming, this is my business card." Chen Shanming bent down very politely and handed over the business card.
"Boss Chen, you're welcome. I'm not a boss. Sorry, I don't have a business card." Li Rui took over his business card.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll ask Li Sheng to take care of him in the future." Chen Shanming saw that he was a veteran in the service industry, so he immediately changed his name and gave him a VIP card, saying that he had a 20% discount on the card.
"Hahaha... I said Boss Chen, you are too stingy. I will tell you that if my brother Rui comes to you, it is definitely a face for you. Don't use such a petty aura to fool people." Xue Feng smiled when he heard this.
Chen Shanming looked a little embarrassed, and the card he sent was not easy to retract his hand, so he hurriedly said, "I will say hello to you below. This card is specially treated."
Li Rui didn't want to embarrass this boss Chen too much. After all, it was not easy for him to do business. He smiled and took the card he handed over, "Thank you, Boss Chen."
"Where, where, Li Sheng gave him face."
