Based on the memory in the dream, Zhang Hao added with a smile: "Although the development potential of this place is not as good as that of other cities in the metropolitan area, it is generally not bad, at least better than the neighboring city of Lingcheng."
Ten years later, this place will become a key city in the entire federation. If ranked according to economic strength, it will be ranked in the top ten, second only to Shanghai.
Among the top nine, except for Shencheng and Yandu, all the others are cities in the metropolitan area.
"Lingcheng? No way? Lingcheng is the capital of Jiangzhou after all, how can it be inferior to this second-tier city here?" Fang Zhigang expressed doubts.
You know, since the establishment of the Federation, Lingcheng has always been one of the top metropolises.
"I'm not talking about the present, but the future."
Zhang Hao shook his head and then explained:
"Actually, Lingcheng's own conditions are not as superior as imagined. It is neither coastal nor has decent coal mines within the state.
In comparison, the coal resources in Luzhou are much richer. Although they are not comparable to the coal-producing states in the north, they are second to none in the south."
This is also the main reason why Yicheng restored power supply early. Other inland cities are not so lucky. Most of them are still waiting anxiously due to lack of coal.
Even many cities close to mountainous areas have already begun organizing people to go to the mountains to cut trees to meet urgent needs.
"That's not right. Lingcheng is closer to the coast. Driven by the coast, it shouldn't be bad."
Zhang Hao adjusted his coat: "Unfortunately, Shencheng Port freezes in winter, so supply of materials will be very difficult. In addition, with its large population, it may not be that easy to promote the development of surrounding cities."
"Ah? Since there is such potential here, then if I buy a house now, won't I be able to make a lot of money in the future?" Fang Zhigang suddenly raised his eyebrows.
This area does not belong to the Dazhuwan District urban agglomeration. There are no purchase restrictions in the urban area, nor are there any restrictions on foreigners settling in. They only need to have a house.
The key point is that this is inland, and housing prices in inland areas are generally several times worse than in coastal cities.
"Don't think about it, just look at the crowds on the street and you will know that although the house price increase here is not as exaggerated as in Huicheng, it is not low either. The average price is around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. We have missed the best investment opportunity.
”
"What a pity."
"Don't think about it. There should be people sent from the local area to greet us in front of us. Let's go there quickly!"
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he strode forward.
……
At dinner time, Zhang Hao went to the appointment on time. I don't know whether it was because of his pride or other reasons, but Liu Changsheng and Leader Liu actually made an appointment with him for dinner.
The dining place is where he stayed.
An officially operated guest house near the city hall.
"Director Zhang, welcome to our Feicheng."
Zhang Hao reached out and shook hands with the other party: "Boss, you are too polite."
"Yes, distinguished guests are coming. As the host, of course I must entertain them grandly."
"I'm just an ordinary businessman, you are too generous." Zhang Hao said modestly.
"Hey, you're being humble, aren't you? Your name, Mr. Zhang, is like thunder to my ears."
Liu Changsheng motioned for the other party to sit down.
Then arrange for the waiter to start serving food.
In a short while, three dishes and one soup were served.
A dish of cabbage stewed with tofu, a dish of oil-fried peanuts, a dish of steamed bacon, and finally a large bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. Each dish is very generous.
Chen Changsheng looked apologetic: "The conditions are limited and the reception is not good. Please forgive me, Director Zhang."
"It's already very rich." Zhang Hao waved his hand and said politely with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I took the train for three days and three nights and never had a decent meal."
"Would you like some wine?"
Liu Changsheng picked up a bottle of liquor next to him and asked.
Zhang Hao shook his head repeatedly and quickly made an excuse: "I won't drink anymore. I stayed on the train for too long and my stomach feels uncomfortable."
In fact, the real reason is that he is afraid that he will make random promises to others when he is drunk.
"Okay, let's eat more food."
After tasting a few bites of the food, the two parties quickly got down to business.
Zhang Hao first got straight to the point: "Leader, I believe you already know the purpose of my trip here. I wonder what your plan is?"
】
"Well..."
Liu Changsheng looked embarrassed.
"Leader, if we have something to say, we might as well say it directly. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Zhang Hao put down Kuaizi smoothly.
As soon as he arrived here, he was already mentally prepared. The local area was not as difficult as everyone imagined, and this trip would definitely involve some trouble.
"Dr. Zhang, eat meat."
Liu Changsheng put a piece of bacon into the opponent's bowl and then replied:
"It's not that we disagree, it's just that some people are opposed to it. The East project has always been our key support project and it is also a business card of the local area. It is normal to have objections."
"Then I would like to ask, what is your opinion, leader?" Zhang Hao quickly asked.
"To be honest, I feel very conflicted now."
"Oh? How do you say it?"
"Actually, I personally don't agree with it. The current environment, to put it bluntly, is East's golden development opportunity. I don't want to become a local historical sinner.
But having said that, I also know clearly that moving East to Huicheng is the best choice at present, both in terms of material conditions and talent factors.
Moreover, this is also the attitude of Archon Discipline. We must obey the instructions of our superiors and more importantly, obey the overall situation. Even if we cannot make a contribution, we cannot hold back..."
Liu Changsheng talks eloquently.
Zhang Hao shook his head secretly. What the other party said was all clichés, but the meaning was already obvious. The local government was willing to "sell" the project, but it couldn't be sold cheaply.
"Leader, I understand what you mean. I am here to assure you that I am sincerely willing to invest in East. If you have any difficulties, you may wish to raise them directly. Let's discuss it together."
"Ahem... Director Zhang, look what you said." Liu Changsheng pretended to cough, and then changed the subject: "The environment has not been good in the past year. I did encounter some small difficulties here, and I need some help from Director Zhang.
Busy?"
"Look what this says, just say it."
Zhang Hao quickly asked.
"I heard that Director Zhang has a fishing company under his name?"
"Yes, this company was established in cooperation with many officials. Although I am the general manager, I actually only hold a small share of the company."
Zhang Hao solemnly reminded.
He probably knows the other party's intentions.
Liu Changsheng did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Director Zhang, we don't have high demands. Can your company ship some seafood? To be honest with you, the local meat shortage is severe."
Southeast Fishery Company is so shocking. It brought back 500,000 tons of seafood from one trip to the sea, which is really enviable.
As long as they can buy tens of thousands of tons of fish, they can solve the current big trouble.
"Ahem... Leader, you may have misunderstood. The shares in my hand only have dividend rights and no disposal rights. In other words, I can only sell the fish to the WFP.
And to be honest with you, I just signed a purchase contract with the WFP a few days ago. You might as well change your request. I really can’t help you with this."
Zhang Hao is honest and fair.
"Nothing can be done?"
Liu Changsheng doesn’t want to give up easily.
"No, the fishing company has reached an agreement with the WFP. All subsequent fish catches will be handed over. I think they will be sold by supply and marketing cooperatives everywhere."
