Gao Pengfei hesitated for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table but was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Gao Pengfei said with a wry smile: "This Liu Haotian is really causing trouble. He thought that during this crazy rise in housing prices, only the Hals Group was operating. He thought that as long as he defeated
By raising the house price, he can completely retain the funds of Hals Group. He is too childish and naive.
How did he know that if only Hals Group could leverage such a huge real estate market in our entire Bailu City? Although tens of billions of funds are not small, they are not enough to leverage our entire Bailu City.
The crazy surge in such a huge market.
Behind this, there are too many stakeholders involved.
Our leaders in Bailu City are too difficult.
If we prevent this plan from passing, then Liu Haotian will definitely say that we have no patriotism and that we do not want to stabilize housing prices. But how did he know that once housing prices really collapse as crazy as Liu Haotian and others expect, it will bring negative consequences to this society?
What a huge negative effect, how many people will be bankrupt in an instant because they cannot repay their bank loans!
For us leaders of the municipal party committee, the situation we see is different from that of Liu Haotian and other county-level leaders. We, the city-level leaders, must consider the overall safety and stability of Bailu City. Stability is paramount, and there is no
How do we develop the economy in a stable environment?”
Duan Zhengtao immediately nodded vigorously: "Mayor Gao, you are right. Although Liu Haotian's plan is very talented and creative, the method is too drastic and offends too many stakeholders. It is detrimental to the stability of our Bailu City."
The overall situation will have huge destructive power, which we absolutely cannot tolerate."
Gao Pengfei nodded: "I will report this matter to Secretary Han right now. At the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow, we will discuss this matter specifically. We must give Liu Haotian and the others a clear answer, and we must make them give up."
Afterwards, Gao Pengfei immediately called and reported the matter to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Han Yuhao.
After hearing this, Han Yuhao frowned and did not express his position at that time.
On the morning of the second day, at the Bailu Municipal Standing Committee meeting, Duan Zhengtao formally proposed to immediately reject the 3,000-acre affordable housing planning plan jointly proposed by Liu Haotian and others.
However, Duan Zhengtao never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Daoyuan, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, directly raised his head and said: "I firmly oppose Comrade Duan Zhengtao's opinion.
All of us can see that now, in the entire Bailu City, house prices have soared by more than 50% in just eight months, and Jianglong County is even more exaggerated, with the increase reaching 120%, and in
Under this circumstance, Jianglong County and Jinshan County jointly proposed this large-scale affordable housing community project. It can be said that they launched a suitable project at the right time and the right place. If such a good project example is not supported, it will
What use are we, members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee?
We people are here to serve the people, and lowering housing prices is to serve the people.
We are not serving those investors, let alone those groups of real estate speculators. I understand the reasons mentioned by Comrade Duan Zhengtao, but I think that whether it affects the overall stability of our Bailu City, it can easily cause all kinds of chaos.
Well, these are just wishful thinking of some of us.
I believe that in extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used, and the plan proposed by Liu Haotian and others is very good. I support it."
Soon, other members of the Municipal Standing Committee expressed their stance.
A total of 12 people came to the Standing Committee today. The director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee did not come because he had something to do.
After the statement was over, the situation in the conference room, except for Han Yuhao and Gao Pengfei, was 5:5.
Han Yuhao and Gao Pengfei looked at each other with serious expressions.
At this moment, Gao Pengfei also saw that Han Yuhao seemed to support Liu Haotian's proposal, which made him feel quite unhappy.
Gao Pengfei hesitated for a moment. He knew that it was unlikely that he would forcefully pass this veto at today's Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting.
At this moment, Han Yuhao's cell phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Han Yuhao stood up quickly: "Everyone, take a break first, and we will continue the meeting after a while."
After saying that, Han Yuhao walked out quickly, came to the small conference room next to him, and quickly answered the phone: "Hello, old leader, what instructions do you have?"
Five minutes later, Han Yuhao returned to the conference room again.
At this moment, no one was leaving, smoking, or drinking tea, because everyone knew that Han Yuhao's answer at this time must be a very important call.
After Han Yuhao sat down, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the voting results just now, the support and opposition opinions each accounted for 50%.
In this case, let’s put this issue aside for now.”
When Gao Pengfei heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He originally planned to put aside this issue, but he didn't expect that Han Yuhao actually raised it first. Now it seems that this call has a great effect.
After the meeting, Han Yuhao left with a solemn expression.
10 minutes later.
In the presidential suite of Xinyuan Hotel in Bailu City, Hals Biotechnology Group China President Steve and Vice President James and translator Lacasse were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Steve smiled and said: "Let me tell you good news, Liu Haotian and the others are finished! The Bailu City Municipal Committee has shelved the project they applied for. If nothing else happens, their project will not make any progress.
.The housing prices that we all worried about before have completely disappeared. From now on, we will still be in control of housing prices in Bailu City, especially Jianglong County!"
Hearing this, James waved his arms excitedly: "Great, really great. This guy Liu Haotian is so insidious. After holding it in for such a long time, he actually managed to come up with such an insidious trick. To be honest,
Yes, after watching their press conference yesterday, I was covered in cold sweat.
If Liu Haotian and his team can really get this project approved and implemented, then our Hals Group will really suffer heavy losses this time!"
Lacasse immediately said in a girlish tone: "Yeah, I really didn't expect that the county magistrate of Jianglong County, Wei Chenghu, would actually stand with Liu Haotian this time. It was so surprising.
Logically speaking, the two of them are incompatible enemies, but they have joined forces this time. This Chinese idea is so incredible!
Wei Chenghu’s logic is so bastard!”
Steve glanced at Lacasse with an ambiguous look and said with a smile: "Although our crisis has been temporarily lifted, we cannot take it lightly. In order to prevent accidents, I think we should sell off part of the properties in our hands first.
The funds should be withdrawn as soon as possible to prevent sudden changes in Bailu City's policies.
We are selling now and the profit has exceeded 80%, which is enough!"
James and Lacasse both nodded vigorously.
At the same time, reporters from major media outlets received a revelation that the 3,000-acre affordable housing project jointly launched by four county party committee leaders from Jianglong County and Jinshan County at yesterday’s press conference had been completely eliminated by the Bailu City Municipal Committee.
Shelved, the probability of this project being approved is 0.
With the injection of a large amount of funds, all major media quickly reported the news in prominent positions on all major platforms.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Steve and the Hals Group began to sell off properties in a planned manner in order to withdraw funds as soon as possible.
In an express hotel, Liu Haotian, Wei Chenghu, Tang Guochun, Zhang Zhensong, and Sima Mou were drinking millet porridge and eating egg cold dishes in the restaurant while discussing things.
Zhang Zhensong said with a solemn expression: "Secretary Liu, you really guessed it right. Our planning plan was only submitted yesterday afternoon. It has been directly submitted to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee this morning and has been temporarily shelved."
Sima Mou said with a wry smile: "I also got a piece of news. Now, Hals Group seems to have felt the crisis and is selling properties carefully, hoping to get the funds back as soon as possible. If we can't get this planning plan passed as soon as possible, then we can only
If we need to wait another half month, our plan to trap these foreign capital will completely fail.
These foreign investors are too decisive and too sensitive."
Liu Haotian looked at Zhang Zhensong: "County Magistrate Zhang, it's up to you now."
Zhang Zhensong showed a look of sadness and indignation on his face: "I really didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Originally I really didn't want to use my connections, but now it seems that if we don't use them, I'm afraid our plan this time will really fail."
Total failure.
Since some people insist on forcing me to take action, then I will do as they wish."
After saying that, Zhang Zhensong took out his mobile phone, walked to a secluded corner, made a call, and chatted for more than ten minutes before returning, with a much more relaxed expression on his face: "If nothing happens,
If it is unexpected, many leaders in the province should know about it today."
That evening, when it was almost time to get off work, Duan Zhengtao received a call from Steve: "Mayor Duan, in order to thank the municipal party committee and government for their support to us foreign-funded enterprises, I plan to have dinner with you tonight to express our gratitude.
Thanks, I wonder if you have time?"
Duan Zhengtao smiled slightly: "In principle, we have 8 regulations and cannot accept banquets from people in shopping malls. However, Mr. Steve is an exception because you are a foreign investor and we introduced it to Bailu City.
As the person in charge of a major investment project, I hope that tonight’s banquet will make our relationship more harmonious and our cooperation smoother.”
Half an hour later, in Private Room 301 of Xinyuan Hotel, Steve picked up a glass of wine and said: "Mayor Duan, I am very grateful to the leaders of the Bailu City Party Committee for paying attention to our investors. However, we have some worries now.
, I am especially worried that you will change it overnight. I wonder what your next plans are for Liu Haotian’s 3,000 acres of affordable housing project? Will you change it overnight?"
