Chapter five hundred and thirty-six trip to Yangcheng
Yu Qingyang stayed in the capital for a week and met with Zhao Shanxue, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental sanitation and water resources.
At the wine table, Yu Qingyang talked about his ideals and ambitions. He would not hesitate to lose money, invest huge sums of money to research China's independent intellectual property rights, and restore China's beautiful scenery.
The two sides had a great conversation.
Vice Mayor Zhao admired Yu Qingyang's sense of responsibility and mission and praised him greatly.
Vice Mayor Zhao drank a sip, Yu Qingyang drank a glass, and drank nine glasses in a row.
Vice Mayor Zhao was even more complimented.
That night, Yu Qingyang drank thirty-six glasses of liquor, and Vice Mayor Zhao also drank almost four glasses.
In the end, Yu Qingyang basically forced himself to stay awake.
Vice Mayor Zhao was a little confused when he spoke.
He took Yu Qingyang's hand and said that the final decision on this matter was the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but he also promised to do his best to promote this matter.
After hearing this promise, Yu Qingyang relaxed and lay down on the table, unconscious.
The next day, Yu Qingyang opened his eyes.
"Mr. Yu, are you awake?" A pleasant voice came from the side.
"Minister Wang? You took care of me yesterday?" Yu Qingyang stood up from the bed in fright and looked around.
You must be careful not to do anything that shouldn't happen.
"Well, Mr. Yu, you are really scary when you drink!"
"I didn't lose my temper last night, did I? How did Vice Mayor Zhao and the others leave?"
"No, you drank too much and went to sleep.
Vice Mayor Zhao, I arranged for everyone to be sent home!
They are all very satisfied, and they only praise you for being a good drinker!" Wang Yuting pursed her lips and smiled.
"Oh!" Yu Qingyang felt relieved when he heard this, "Thank you for your hard work yesterday. Thanks to you, the banquet will be so successful!"
Last night, thanks to Wang Yuting's assist, Vice Mayor Zhao would not have drank so much otherwise.
He has a smile on his face, a soft and pleasant voice, and is very approachable. Yu Qingyang has never asked a female colleague from the company to accompany him for drinks before, but he must admit that Wang Yuting did a good job yesterday.
He is generous and decent without losing etiquette, and he smiles sweetly without being kitsch.
Acts as a good lubricant.
Yu Qingyang didn't ask the embarrassing question of who changed his clothes, and stood up to wash up.
After breakfast, Yu Qingyang came to the construction site of Huayu Century City.
At this time, the construction of more than 4,000 acres of land in Huayu Century City in the capital has begun.
The first phase has just been built halfway, the second phase has already been built, and the excavation of the foundation pit for the third phase is about to be completed.
The construction site is extremely busy, with excavators, dump trucks, forklifts, tower cranes, and cars transporting various materials coming in and out constantly.
There are still thousands of workers working hard.
Moreover, the entire construction site was busy but not chaotic and orderly.
"Yes, this is how the construction site should be! Women should not be inferior to men!" Yu Qingyang smiled at Geng Huaian and Zhao Rui with satisfaction.
The general contracting unit of Beijing Huayu Century City is Huayu Second Construction, and Zhao Rui, the engineering department director of Huayu Second Construction, serves as the general contracting project manager.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for the compliment!" Zhao Rui smiled at Yu Qingyang, revealing two small dimples and four small tiger teeth.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Peng is a bit extravagant and lustful, he is still very provocative.
Twelve female secretaries, all equally good-looking and capable.
After being beaten by Zhou Peng, the remaining eight are now the backbone of the company, middle-level cadres.
Zhao Rui and others are also well-known in the business circles of the capital.
"Do a good job! I'm optimistic about you!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded at Zhao Rui.
"Yes, I promise not to disappoint Mr. Yu!" Zhao Rui nodded excitedly.
They are all very grateful to Yu Qingyang, Zhao Rui and the others.
It was Yu Qingyang who changed their lives. They were no longer dependent on the chairman of the board, and started to walk on another sunny road.
Therefore, they cherished it and worked hard to repay Yu Qingyang's important use.
After walking around several construction sites in Beijing, Yu Qingyang returned to the company.
In the afternoon, Li Yifeng brought good news. Vice Mayor Zhao had reported to the mayor the intention of Huayu Water to fully acquire Beijing Drainage Group Company.
Of course, there is also Yu Qingyang's promise to invest in the construction of a new sewage treatment plant in Beijing with a total treatment capacity of one million tons before 2008.
It also promised to upgrade the original sewage treatment plant.
It was these two promises that impressed the local government in the capital city the most.
The capital is not short of money, but they bear the heavy burden of the Olympics and have many places to spend money.
Yu Qingyang acquired the Drainage Group Company and was willing to invest in the construction of a sewage treatment plant with a daily processing capacity of one million tons. This was tantamount to helping the capital solve its difficulties and share the financial pressure.
Therefore, Vice Mayor Zhao dared to promise to do his best to promote this matter.
In the evening, Yu Qingyang once again hosted a banquet for Li Yifeng and other princes from the Fourth and Nine Cities to thank them for their help.
Li Yifeng also promised to rush to Shanghai as soon as possible to find connections and open up dialogue channels with upper-level leaders.
The next day, Yu Qingyang took a plane early in the morning and flew to Yangcheng.
Zhang Hua was also on the plane today, and he went to Yangcheng in person to help Yu Qingyang make connections.
Zhang Hua had already communicated with his old man on the phone before, and only dared to come over after getting his consent.
With Zhang Hua mediating, it went more smoothly than in the capital.
However, it is different from all the acquisitions that Yu Qingyang thought about before.
The Xilang sewage treatment plant under construction in Yangcheng is a Sino-foreign joint venture sewage treatment plant.
It is a joint project between Yangcheng Lemnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd. and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Therefore, even if the municipal government agrees to Yu Qingyang’s acquisition, the municipal government of Xilang Sewage Treatment Plant cannot fully make the decision.
Yu Qingyang needs to go to Yangcheng Limnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd. to negotiate.
This is hard for Yu Qingyang. Yangcheng Lemnasilang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. will not talk to him for the time being. It is easier to handle it at the Yangcheng Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Yu Qingyang looked through the information on Xilang Sewage Treatment Plant obtained through various channels.
Xilang Sewage Treatment Plant is a joint investment between Yangcheng Lemna Xilang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. and the Yangcheng government, with financing provided by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
In other words, ICBC is the party that provides loans. It doesn't matter who provides loans. As long as the other party has sufficient capital or passes ICBC's review, they will not interfere too much.
On the contrary, ICBC is more willing to transfer the debt from Yangcheng Leimnasilang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd., which was also just established, to Huayu Investment.
The assets invested by Huayu are dozens or hundreds of times that of Yangcheng Lemnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd.
In addition, the so-called foreign capital is actually a company with white skin and red heart.
That is, a company registered abroad by Chinese people will become a foreign-invested company when it returns to China.
Companies like this are not uncommon.
Not all such companies are scammers, but at least half of them are phonies.
I don’t have much capital, so I rely entirely on my status as a foreign businessman and through bank loans to make so-called investments based on the policy of attracting investment.
Don't tell me, there are quite a few such companies that eventually became big.
Once you figure out the relationship between them, all that's left is to find ways to deal with them.
Let’s first take a look at what Yangcheng Leimnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd. means.
Yu Qingyang made an appointment with Ms. Zhou Lanna, the legal person chairman of Yangcheng Lemnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd., through the Lizhi District Government.
At the office of Yangcheng Lemnasilang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd., Yu Qingyang met Ms. Zhou Lanna.
Zhou Lanna is younger than Yu Qingyang imagined, and she looks less than thirty years old.
Being able to become a legal person and chairman of a company with a registered capital of more than 300 million is indeed a bit unbelievable.
"Hello! Director Jay! Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!" Yu Qingyang and Zhou Lanna shook hands gently and said with a smile.
"Mr. Yu, you are an honored guest! Mr. Yu can come to our company as a guest, which really brings glory to our company!" Zhou Lanna said with a giggle.
Yu Qingyang lamented that when Zhou Lanna was young, Zhou Lanna was even more surprised by Yu Qingyang's age.
"Haha, as long as Director Jay doesn't misunderstand me as a bad guest!" Yu Qingyang said with a laugh.
Zhou Lanna asked Yu Qingyang to the reception room.
He secretly guessed Yu Qingyang's purpose in coming to their company.
Yu Qingyang’s massive acquisition of the sewage treatment plants in Yangcheng and Pengcheng may not have attracted much attention from the outside world.
However, for those engaged in the water treatment industry, it is a big event.
Many people cried wolf.
Huayu Water is called the wolf from the north.
Southern companies have always gone to the north to acquire investment companies. Huayu Water Affairs is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that a northern company has gone to the south to acquire companies.
And it was a big deal, destroying all the sewage treatment plants in Yangcheng and Pengcheng in one go.
However, most of the water treatment industry can only stare blankly. In this era, almost all sewage treatment plants are government-invested.
If the government is willing to sell, no one can stop it.
Xilang Sewage Treatment Plant is the first Sino-foreign joint venture and external financing sewage treatment plant in Yangcheng and even in China.
When the Yangcheng Lemnasilang Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd. signed a contract with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, they even publicized it on TV and newspapers.
"I wonder, Mr. Yu, why are you here this time?" Zhou Lanna asked tentatively in the reception room.
Although I have speculations in my mind, I still hope to hear Yu Qingyang’s answer with my own ears.
"I believe Director Jay Chou must have heard about it, so I won't beat around the bush. The main purpose of our company's visit to Yangcheng this time is to acquire the sewage treatment plant in Yangcheng!
By integrating resources, we will create a large-scale water treatment enterprise integrating R&D, production and construction!
Through understanding, I discovered that Jay Chou's Lemnasilang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. is the pioneer in the commercial operation of domestic sewage treatment plants, so I came over today to pay a visit to a senior in this industry.
The other thing is to discuss with Director Jay Chou to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between our two companies!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"Giggle..." Zhou Lanna let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.
"Seniors don't dare to take this position. We are just a small company, not as good as Huayu Water, a subsidiary of Huayu Investment!
Compared with Huayu Water, we can only make a small fuss!
As for the cooperation that Mr. Yu mentioned, we naturally welcome it, but we don’t know what kind of cooperation Mr. Yu mentioned?”
Zhou Lanna did not refuse directly, which was a good sign for Yu Qingyang. Failure to refuse meant that we could talk, and if we could talk, we would have the basis for success.
"I know that the Xilang sewage treatment plant invested by your company has just started construction this year!
We want to acquire Lemna Silang Sewage Treatment Company including your company’s entire share in Silang Sewage Treatment Plant!”
Zhou Lanna was stunned by Yu Qingyang's directness.
Although Zhou Lanna has been studying abroad and has a lot of exposure to the direct working methods abroad, there are really not many people in China who are as direct as Yu Qingyang.
Zhou Lanna originally thought that today was just a meeting. Even if she had the idea of acquisition, she should pass the message through an intermediary, get a positive answer, and then meet again to discuss the specific details.
This can avoid the embarrassment of being rejected if you propose it rashly.
Yu Qingyang naturally knows this, but he still likes to be direct.
There is no time to contact slowly, send messages through intermediaries, etc.
If it works, let's talk about it. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way.
I have purchased the entire sewage treatment plant in Yangcheng, are you still missing?
"Mr. Yu, you northerners are really bold and straightforward in your words and actions!
It’s just that I’m very sorry, Mr. Yu, although I am the legal person of the company, I really can’t make the decision on the acquisition of the company!” Zhou Lanna gently smoothed her hair and said apologetically.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Chairman Jay Chou can't make the decision, so I just convey my thoughts to the person who can make the decision!
I am very sincere about the acquisition. I know that your company holds 60% of the equity in Xilang Sewage Treatment Plant.
I am willing to acquire this stake at a premium of 10%.
At the same time, we also fervently hope that elites in water treatment like Jay Chou will join us!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
When he first saw Zhou Lanna, he guessed that Zhou Lanna was just pushed out from the front desk.
There is someone else behind the scenes.
That's why Yu Qingyang chose to go straight to the point. Otherwise, if he talks for a long time, the person negotiating in the end is not the right person, which is a complete waste of time.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your compliment. I will definitely convey Mr. Yu's sincerity!" Regarding Yu Qingyang's face-to-face poaching, Zhou Lanna smiled and changed the subject.
"Okay, let's wait for the good news from Director Jay Chou!" Yu Qingyang stood up and left.
When Yu Qingyang came into contact with Zhou Lanna, Zhang Hua also contacted the people behind Zhou Lan.
It was nothing more than a few second-generation officials who raised funds and were optimistic about the water treatment industry, so they chose a spokesperson and built such a company.
These second-generation officials are not the kind of second-generation officials who are unlearned and unskilled.
Rather, they are the second-generation officials who have ideals and ambitions.
Now I can understand that the second-generation officials without ideals and ambitions will not invest in an industry like water treatment that is both popular and popular.
They can definitely stay in the shadow of their parents and engage in other industries to make quick money, such as real estate.
These people studied water treatment abroad, and their academic qualifications are not low.
Several young people raised funds to register companies abroad, and returned to China to prepare for a career in the water treatment industry.
Yu Qingyang admires such people.
No matter it is, I will appreciate young people who work hard and make progress.
However, to appreciate it, you have to stand in the same trench with me.
Accept my acquisition, let's develop together, and we'll help you realize your ideals and ambitions.
