Chapter 406: Land Survey
He walked to the table, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number skillfully. After the call was connected, Sun Wenliang smiled and said, "Hello, District Chief Zhou, this is Old Sun! Are you busy now?"
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, Old Sun, no matter how busy I am, I can't not answer the call from you, the God of Wealth! You called me in your busy schedule, it must be something important, right?"
Sun Wenliang smiled and replied, "It's a small matter indeed. I want to ask you if your district is planning to demolish the Chaoyangmen area?"
District Chief Zhou replied: "Haha, Old Sun, you are well-informed! Yes, our district does have this plan and has already started contacting several companies. If the conditions are right, we will start the demolition work.
What, your car factory is also interested in this place? However, the land on both sides is intended for commercial use, so it is not suitable for you to build a factory there."
"How could that be? I have plenty of space to build a factory here. My master is planning to move the company's headquarters back to Beijing, and he is looking for a suitable place to build a building!" Sun Wenliang replied.
"Your master?" District Chief Zhou raised his voice: "Li Xuewu from the Hong Kong Li Group? Is he back?"
"Yes, he is sitting in my office now. If you have a suitable plot of land, I will ask my master to take a look. If you don't have it, then we can only look for another area!" Sun Wenliang said with a smile.
Hearing this, District Chief Zhou stood up excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, there must be. Even if there is not, I will make room for you immediately!"
The Hong Kong Lee Group is such a big group. This car factory that can provide billions of tax revenue to the country every year is just a subsidiary company. If the Lee Group's headquarters is located here, it will bring more than just tax revenue. It means more investment, employment opportunities and economic growth, which is a rare opportunity for the entire region.
Thinking of this, District Chief Zhou became more and more excited.
"Old Sun, please ask your master if he has time today. Let's go to Chaoyangmen now and take a look. How about I treat you to dinner in the evening?" District Chief Zhou invited enthusiastically on the other end of the phone.
Sun Wenliang removed the phone from his ear, turned to Li Xuewu and said, "Master, District Chief Zhou asked me to ask if you have time to go and see the land over there, and then have a meal together to talk!"
He asked directly while holding the phone, obviously wanting Li Xuewu to agree.
Li Xuewu naturally would not refuse his face, and nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, no problem, I don't have anything to do today anyway, so I'll go over and take a look!"
Hearing Li Xuewu's answer, Sun Wenliang laughed happily and said to District Chief Zhou on the other end of the phone: "My master happens to be free today, so let's go directly there and wait for you there!"
"Let's meet at Chaoyangmen subway station. We'll meet in an hour. You can contact me by phone anytime!" District Chief Zhou responded excitedly.
"Okay, see you later!"
After hanging up the phone, District Chief Zhou excitedly waved his fist, his eyes flashing with excitement.
He knew in his heart that if this negotiation with Li Xuewu was successful, his career would take a big step forward and promotion would be almost a certainty.
However, he also understood that this matter could not be accomplished by relying solely on personal ability. After all, even if Li Xuewu finally decided to settle the project here, he would inevitably put forward many conditions, and these conditions might be beyond his own power.
Therefore, after a brief thought, District Chief Zhou picked up the phone again and dialed the number. After the call was connected, he couldn't wait to say: "Leader, I need your help!"
Not long after, a small convoy of vehicles drove out from the city and district governments respectively. They set off almost at the same time, heading straight for Chaoyangmen.
An hour or so later, two black cars arrived at Chaoyangmen subway station.
Li Xuewu and his colleagues' car had been waiting here early. The door opened, and District Chief Zhou and another gray-haired leader got out at the same time, then walked quickly towards Li Xuewu's car.
"Hello, Mr. Li. I'm Zhou Xin, the district mayor of Chaoyang District, and this is Deputy Mayor Lu of our city! Welcome to visit our district!" District Mayor Zhou shook Li Xuewu's hand warmly.
Li Xuewu also shook hands with them respectively: "Hello, Mayor Lu, District Chief Zhou! Sorry to trouble you!"
"You're welcome, Boss Li. We welcome you to come and investigate and settle down here. How can it be a bother?"
"Hahaha, then don't call me boss. Li Xuewu, just call me Lao Li or Xuewu!"
"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite. Let's learn martial arts and go and take a look at this land together!" Mayor Lu invited.
After the greetings, they went to inspect the land together.
Along the way, District Mayor Zhou enthusiastically introduced the surrounding environment and planning to Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu listened attentively, raising some professional questions and suggestions from time to time.
Li Xuewu is very satisfied with this plot of land. Firstly, it has a good location and convenient transportation. There is an overpass right outside the door, and it has great potential for future development. More importantly, the plot of land here is large enough.
According to District Chief Zhou, several alleys nearby that are not subject to historical site protection can all be included in the demolition list, so that the area of this land can be several square kilometers.
Whatever you want to do can be met.
After the tour, he found a small restaurant nearby. He had eaten too much in big restaurants, and now Li Xuewu really liked this kind of special snacks and the taste of small restaurants.
A few of them found a braised tripe restaurant and asked for a small private room to make it easier for them to discuss things. It was pretty good except that it was a little crowded.
"Xuewu, what do you think of this piece of land?" asked Mayor Lu.
"I think it's a great idea. In addition to building office buildings, we can also build shopping malls, supermarkets or an urban complex here. These are all good choices," Li Xuewu replied.
"Since you like this place, how about setting up your company's headquarters here? You can propose any conditions. As long as they do not violate the policy principles, our city and district will do our best to satisfy you and provide you with the greatest tax benefits!" Mayor Lu said with anticipation.
Hearing this, Li Xuewu was delighted. He certainly knew what this meant. This would not only give his company better development opportunities, but also allow it to enjoy more policy support and tax incentives.
Seeing the sincere expressions of the two, Li Xuewu raised his lips slightly and smiled: "I am obliged to contribute to the construction of Beijing. After all, this is also my responsibility. The cooperation between District Chief Zhou and our Red Star Automobile Factory was very pleasant before, and this time we are old acquaintances.
And as the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Since we want to settle down here, it is more appropriate to settle down here with District Chief Zhou. So, I think there is no problem. Let my subordinates discuss the subsequent details. Is that okay?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so happy about learning martial arts. Then we have a deal! I have turned down several other companies that wanted to develop this land. Please don't let me down for nothing!" District Chief Zhou laughed heartily, his laughter was loud and clear.
