Chapter 713 Some people are happy and some are worried
After Hu Xuefeng finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Everyone was shocked.
No one thought that Hu Xuefeng actually wanted to invest, and it was a gambling-style investment.
At this time, Liu Qingyu glanced at Hu Xuefeng and Xu Zhenglong with a smile and said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Hu, our Ruiyuan County is currently engaged in the construction of the Ruiyue Expressway project. This project is a section of the expressway connecting Ruiyuan County to Yueyang City. , this project is the preliminary project of the transportation hub project in the three provinces. The total investment requires more than 5 billion yuan. Now it has raised more than 3 billion yuan, and there is still about 2 billion yuan left. I wonder if you two are interested in this project, of course. , I have to declare in advance that this project has been approved, and if you want to invest, you have to invest money directly."
After Liu Qingyu finished speaking, Hu Xuefeng and Xu Zhenglong looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.
Xu Zhenglong smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, how about this, how about each of us investing 1 billion yuan."
Hu Xuefeng nodded: "Okay, no problem."
This time, Liu Qingyu had a smile on his face.
He could finally breathe a long sigh of relief. Although both of them said they would invest in the transportation hub project in the three provinces, the future of this project was uncertain and it was a long-term project. Moreover, judging from the current cooperation conditions, once it was approved by them, it would not be possible. If it passes, then all cooperation will be out of the question. This does not rule out the possibility that the two businessmen want to use this press conference to hype themselves up.
However, the Ruiyue Expressway project requires real money to be invested in it. The reason why Liu Qingyu proposed this project on this occasion was to test the two of them. Unexpectedly, both of them agreed, which made Liu Qingyu felt relieved a lot.
Subsequently, reporters from the news media once again asked many questions, but this time, Liu Qingyu was much more relaxed. Almost all the remaining questions were asked to Xu Zhenglong and Hu Xuefeng, because both of them were full of topical figures. , especially Hu Xuefeng, is a leader among the topical figures.
By listening to the reporters' questions, Liu Qingyu gradually understood the true identity of this extremely low-key man with glasses. It turned out that the man with glasses was an absolute diaosi. His family lived in the countryside on the outskirts of Yanjing City. He passed the exam at the age of 16. I majored in computer science at MIT and received a full scholarship. It took me 3 years to get my undergraduate and master's degrees. Then I worked in Silicon Valley for 2 years. Then I returned to China and used the 3 million yuan I earned from working to create Tianqing.com. , and then, in just five years, Tianqing.com developed into a large company with a market value of 30 billion yuan. The company just went public last year.
The two hours passed very quickly. Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Qingyu announced that this project promotion meeting was a complete success and expressed his gratitude to the participants.
After the meeting, Liu Qingyu invited Xu Zhenglong and Hu Xuefeng to sit in the teahouse for a while, talk about the project in detail, and invited the two people to go to Ruiyuan County for a field trip and sign a letter of intent for cooperation. The two expressed their agreement without hesitation. Agree.
That very night, the news conference and project promotion meeting held by Ruiyuan County appeared on the Internet and in print media on a large scale. Ruiyuan County suddenly became the focus of the media.
After Ji'an County Magistrate Zhao Zhiyong heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed his tea cup on the spot, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qingyu, Liu Qingyu, you actually robbed me of such a great political achievement, and robbed me of my Investors, my reporters, I, Zhao Zhiyong, will never let it go with you."
At this moment, Nanhua City also received the news. Mayor Huang Lihai and Saburo Aso of Sanling Group were sitting in a teahouse drinking tea silently. The atmosphere seemed very depressing.
The news about Liu Qingyu in Yanjing City was told by Saburo Aso to Huang Lihai. Huang Lihai was very surprised to get this news.
Although he knew that Liu Qingyu was going to Yanjing City to attract investment and hold a project promotion meeting, he did not pay any attention to it. In his opinion, Ruiyuan County was just a small county, and its influence The power is very limited, let alone Ruiyuan County. Even if Nanhua City holds a press conference in Yanjing City, not many people may be willing to support it. After all, the capital is a prosperous place, where media from all over the world gather, and various High-end press conferences are coming one after another, and a project promotion meeting in a small county town may not even be able to achieve success.
Therefore, when Saburo Aso told Liu Qingyu that through this project promotion meeting, he not only solved the financial problem of the Ruiyue Expressway project, but also initially launched the three-province hub project, Huang Lihai was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.
At this moment, Huang Lihai was still slowly digesting the news brought by Saburo Aso.
At this time, Aso Saburo said in a deep voice: "Mayor Huang, it seems that our Sanling Bank has fallen into an embarrassing situation where we are not human inside and outside. We originally came to help you Nanhua City at your request. Ruiyuan County went to solve the problem, but they didn't expect that Ruiyuan County not only refused to accept our good intentions, but even pointed out our intentions and even threw dirty water, saying that we had strategic intentions and that we had affected your Chinese national security. , Mayor Huang, you know that we are very unjust. Our Sanling Bank has always had a good reputation in the world. We are just businessmen and we only want to make money."
Huang Lihai saw Aso Saburo showing a distressed look and quickly comforted him: "Mr. Aso, don't worry, I believe things will always have a solution."
Saburo Aso sighed and said: "What can we do? Now that Liu Qingyu has been reinstated, he doesn't take you as the mayor seriously at all, and the financing conditions set by your city for Ruiyuan County also restrict them. After this project promotion meeting in Yanjing City, do you have any other good ways for us, Sanling Bank, to get involved in this project?"
Huang Lihai pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There may be some difficulties at the moment, but I believe that as long as we actively think of ways, we will definitely find a solution."
As he spoke, Huang Lihai's tone seemed very sincere. However, in the eyes of Aso Saburo, a shrewd Japanese businessman, he had already seen Huang Lihai's excuse.
Saburo Aso immediately said bluntly: "Mayor Huang, I can guess what you are thinking at this moment. In your opinion, since Ruiyuan County has advanced this project to this extent, what about Nanhua City? It’s not a loss. Ruiyuan County can’t succeed in this matter without the support of your municipal party committee and government leaders. You must have political achievements to achieve, so there is no need for you to do this under such circumstances. If you continue to make things difficult for Ruiyuan County, you may even find ways to take Ruiyuan County's success as your own.
However, what I want to say is that it was you who introduced our Sanling Bank to your Nanhua City, and it was you who actively invited us to participate in the Ruiyue Expressway and the Three-Province Hub Project in Ruiyuan County. It was precisely because of you Guaranteed again and again, our Sanling Bank attaches great importance to the large-scale project of the three-province hub. For this reason, we have raised nearly 80 billion yuan to win this project. I don’t know if you know that in order to raise this 800 million yuan We have borrowed more than 100 million yuan from many foreign banks, and the interest rates are quite high. If we fail to win the three-province hub project, our losses will be considerable.
In addition, Mayor Huang, although I promised you that as long as we can successfully win these two projects, I will give you an annual dividend of 20 million yuan, but if we cannot win these two projects, we have nothing to give you as dividends. Yours, and if we can't win this project, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position as president. I'm worried that by then, the 8 million in benefits I gave you when I was in office will be used by the new president to make excuses. Not only me, but you will also be implicated."
Having said this, Aso Saburo's eyes already flashed with tears, and he said with a choked voice: "Mayor Huang, please take the sake of our good personal relationship, please help me, brother, I really I don’t want to lose my position as president, I really don’t want to be found guilty of bribery and return to China to face trial, Mayor Huang, I beg you.”
While he was talking, Saburo Aso suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Huang Lihai.
At this moment, Huang Lihai was stunned by Aso Saburo's sudden move. He never expected that Aso Saburo would kneel down and ask for help.
Huang Lihai's heart suddenly became confused.
At this moment, Huang Lihai had already had the idea of picking peaches deep in his heart. His original intention was to let Liu Qingyu advance these two projects to almost the same level before picking peaches. As for Saburo Aso and Sanrei Bank of Japan Well, just think that they were accompanying the prince to study, and they could just use it. However, what Aso Saburo said just now made his heart beat violently. What Aso Saburo just said was very clear. , if he fails to win this three-province hub project, then he will definitely step down. When the new president takes office, he will be investigated. Once he is found to have paid 8 million yuan in bribes to himself, he will definitely be finished. By then , can I still be able to protect myself?
From this point of view, the two of them are grasshoppers on the same line.
Huang Lihai had already seen it at this moment. Although Saburo Aso, a little Japanese man, knelt down and asked for help, showing a very pious, low-key and even a little pitiful appearance, in fact, his words also revealed a strong threat to him. , if I don’t help him, I’m afraid I’ll be in trouble too.
What should I do? What should I do? For a moment, Huang Lihai began to think quickly.
