Two hundred and twentieth chapters say that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrives
The next morning, Li Jianhui and senior officials from the Xinjian Department went to the Wheelock Plaza construction site for an inspection.
As an important investment of Wheelock Land in Taipei, the progress here is quite good. In more than half a year, the underground construction has been basically completed, and it is expected that the above-ground construction will start later this month.
Because land in Taipei is not as tight as in Xiangjiang, Wheelock Plaza here covers an area larger than that in Xiangjiang, reaching 200 acres.
Wheelock Construction Company is responsible for the construction management team, and the material partners are mainly the Ku family, as well as some forces with good relations with it.
I don’t know if the construction site knew in advance that Li Jianhui and others were coming to inspect, but they did a pretty good job in all aspects.
Li Jianhui actually just took a quick look at it, and he didn't know much about the specific construction aspects.
The purpose of coming here this time is to show that he attaches great importance to the Wheelock Plaza project. Secondly, it is mainly to see how the safety aspects of the construction site are being done. Thirdly, it is to understand whether there are any problems in the construction, especially to see the construction site.
Have you encountered any administrative difficulties?
Li Jianhui has always been uneasy about Committee Member Ma. Although he is only a committee member, he is not as good as Gu Zhenfu's standing committee member.
But after all, he occupies an important position, has a lot of power in his hands, and has complicated relationships. If he really wants to make things difficult for Xin Jian, there are still some ways.
Through communication with the on-site management and some employees, it was found that there was no problem here and no trouble was sought.
Moreover, this project has received great attention from the senior officials of Taipei City. Basically, senior officials of Taipei City come to inspect every month to understand the problems during the construction. If they involve the government, they will be solved as soon as possible.
Li Jianhui is still very happy about this. In this way, he can invest in Baodao with confidence.
Li Jianhui could only say that he was speechless for this notorious mayor in the mainland in his previous life. The second-generation president left him such a good foundation, but in the end, this guy played his cards badly and became a leader of the country and the Blue Party.
of sinners.
If it weren't for this future genius, the Green Party would never have had a chance to turn around, and the Blue Party would not have been torn apart.
However, when the second-generation president was here, he performed quite well. Especially during this period, he worked very hard for political achievements.
It's a pity that Li Jianhui won't have too many interactions with this person, and he will try his best to prevent this person from reaching the top in the future, lest this person affect his business development layout in the future.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Mayor Li drove from Jian to the Wheelock Plaza construction site.
After seeing Li Jianhui, he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, what a coincidence. I heard that you arrived in Taipei yesterday, and I didn't expect to meet you here today."
"I didn't expect Mayor Li to be so concerned about the construction of our Wheelock Plaza. I was planning to visit Mayor Li in the afternoon, but I wanted to express my gratitude to you in person for your concern for the construction of our project."
"Mr. Li is too kind. Wheelock Land chose to spend HKD 2 billion to build Wheelock Plaza in our city. This is a sign of trust in the people and government of Taipei City.
Naturally, our government will do its best to serve you, solve the problems that arise due to our government during the construction, and help Wheelock Plaza be put into operation as soon as possible."
Li Jianhui could hear this person's sincerity. At least for now, this person definitely hopes that Taipei's economy will develop quickly and well.
Moreover, Li Jianhui also knows that the biggest opponent currently facing him is the former mayor. If Taipei's economic development during his term is not as good as that of the previous term, his score among the second-generation presidents will be lowered.
In order to accelerate the development of Xinjian industry here, Li Jianhui had to chat politely with this person.
The purpose of this person's visit today is quite clear, that is, he hopes that the Xinjian Department can increase investment in Taipei, thereby driving the development of Taipei's economy.
So after some pleasantries, we talked about investment.
Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Our Xinjian Department has always attached great importance to the market in Baodao. I also communicated with Minister Li yesterday that we will invest 800 million Hong Kong dollars to build a Lane Crawford shopping mall in Taipei in the near future.
In addition, we will continue to expand into Taipei’s retail market, especially IKEA convenience stores and Tesco electrical appliance chains, so that Taipei citizens can buy our products within five kilometers.”
He actually knew about Xin Jian's increase in investment last night, especially the investment in Taipei.
He came here today with the intention of following up. He didn't want a project worth one billion Hong Kong dollars to be derailed midway.
He knows that there are currently many people who are dissatisfied with him internally, and there are also many people who want to take away the project, especially in Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. These municipal governments do not want to see their city's economic development being further and further left behind.
He knew that Li Jianhui and Gu Zhenfu had a very good relationship, and the Gu family's headquarters was in the Taichung area.
Once the Taichung City Government communicates with Gu Zhenfu and Li Jianhui, the cooked duck may fly away.
As soon as Li Jianhui finished speaking, he immediately said: "We very much welcome Lane Crawford to come to Taipei to build a shopping mall. Our government can give the greatest discount on the land. We also hope that this project can officially start construction as soon as possible to contribute to Taipei's economic development."
Inject new impetus.”
Li Jianhui did not give a definite answer as to when the investment would be made, but said that the company would only determine the specific construction location and time after a detailed inspection in Taipei.
The specific subsequent investment will be handled by Li Qungang, chairman of Lane Crawford's board of directors, while Li Jianhui and Wei Li only make general direction decisions.
Since they were at the construction site, the two did not communicate for too long. When Li Jianhui mentioned that he was going to inspect the operation of Lane Crawford Supermarket, Mayor Li said he had to leave because the government had other things to do.
The first meeting between the two parties was generally quite harmonious, and both parties achieved their goals to a certain extent.
However, there is obviously some distance and estrangement between the two parties. Otherwise, according to Chinese custom, no matter who invites you at noon today, both parties will have two drinks.
It's a pity that it didn't happen today. Maybe Mayor Li had this intention, but unfortunately Li Jianhui didn't have this intention, so he didn't mention it.
After all, it was okay to meet here by chance, but it would be too obvious to invite him again.
Moreover, Li Jianhui is no different from ordinary businessmen. He is the richest man in the world, and his assets amount to tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. When the relationship is not in place, it is better not to overdo it, otherwise he will be directly rejected, which will only make it difficult for him to get off the stage.
He knew very well that Li Jianhui had a great influence on the top management here. He had a deep connection with Baodao, and many big bosses hoped to bring him over and give Li Jianhui the same status in the Blue Party as they did.
Fortunately, the president did not agree to this suggestion, otherwise he would have been worried that he would not have any opportunities in the future.
