Urban Cultivation I am a legend

Chapter 206 The Boiled Duck Will Fly

Liu Xiaoru has been proud of his past two years. After securing his position as the mayor of Xinyuan City, he began to display his political ambitions boldly.

For a mayor, the quality of the local economy and the annual local GDP directly determine his political future.

Therefore, in order to attract investment and develop the local economy of Xinyuan City, he spared no effort.

Introduced by the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, Liu Xiaoru received a Hong Kong businessman from Hong Kong. This Hong Kong businessman is Bao Shaotong, the second son of the famous Hong Kong rich man Bao Yugang.

Due to the continuous rise of land prices and labor costs along the coast, many Hong Kong businessmen have begun to turn their attention to the mainland, and their investment projects have also changed from simple trade processing to high-tech and manufacturing.

This time, Bao Shaotong, on behalf of his family, plans to invest 15 billion yuan in Xinyuan to build a high-tech company that produces electronic equipment.

Liu Xiaoru attaches great importance to this project. According to the analysis of his relevant department personnel, the Bao family is very determined to invest this time, and the project is very likely to be successful.

But the problem is that Xinyuan City is not the only one in the province who is fighting for this project, other counties and cities are also eyeing this project.

And the members of the Bao family are also taking advantage of the competition between counties and cities in Lingnan Province, cleverly maneuvering left and right, wanting to obtain the most favorable conditions for attracting investment and striving for the greatest benefits for their family.

After completing the on-site investigation, Liu Xiaoru led a group of people from the municipal government to receive Bao Shaotong and his party at the guest house of the municipal government.

Bao Shaotong was only about forty years old, with a pair of light eyebrows and phoenix eyes under a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, coupled with his fair face, he looked refined and refined.

Bao Shaotong has been in business with his father for many years, and he does not lack the shrewdness of a businessman. He knows how to use the local government's thirst for funds and projects. He also knows what the year-end GDP assessment of each county and city means to the performance of local officials.

After yesterday's inspection and this morning's inspection, Bao Shaotong is basically satisfied with the various conditions in Xinyuan City. What is needed now is to use the conditions offered by other counties and cities to lower the price of the Xinyuan City government.

"Boss Bao, what is the result of today's inspection? Are you satisfied with our Xinyuan? As long as you Bao Group is willing to invest in our Xinyuan, all departments of our city government will spare no effort to do a good job in various services."

Liu Xiaoru made a statement on behalf of the municipal government. He felt that he was very confident to win this project. With the foundation of this [-] billion project, this year's work will be much easier.

"Mayor Liu, to be honest, I have inspected so many places, and I feel that your Xinyuan and the other two cities, Yuqing City and Lengjiang City have similar conditions, and it is hard to say which one is better, so I now No final decision has been made yet.”

Bao Shaotong knew very well the truth of waiting for a price. Since he had such a good project and 15 billion funds, he was really not worried that they would not offer good terms.

"This cunning fox."

Liu Xiaoru cursed inwardly, he also knew that this was a common trick used by these businessmen, but there was nothing he could do about it, who would tell a good woman not to worry about marrying.

However, Liu Xiaoru also has confidence in himself. He knows that the hardware facilities in other brothers' counties and cities are not as good as his own. Under normal conditions, the boss of this package will definitely choose Xinyuan first to build a factory.

But if they really offered extremely favorable conditions, it would be hard to say.

"Boss Bao, long-term business is important. I don't say that you will definitely open a century-old shop, but the real development of a factory still depends on the surrounding hardware facilities, not temporary preferential conditions."

Liu Xiaoru patiently communicated with Bao Shaotong, since others are up for grabs, let's talk slowly.

"Mayor Liu, I know what you said. In terms of hardware facilities, Xinyuan City is indeed a little better than those two places, but they have promised to repair the supporting substation and the road connecting the factory area. If these If everything is in order, then there is no need for Xinyuan to be far behind."

Bao Shaotong knew that some local government officials would sometimes talk nonsense. After their own investment was made, these so-called promises would come to naught in all likelihood, and in the end they still had to invest their own money to solve the problem.

Therefore, instead of looking at what is in the pot, it is better to eat what is in the bowl first. This is an important reason why he chose Xinyuan City, but the problem is that the preferential conditions given by Mayor Liu are not enough. He made a fortune.

With this in mind, Bao Shaotong, Liu Xiaoru and other relevant departments of the city government held a meeting in the afternoon to discuss the preferential conditions that the Xinyuan city government could offer.

"Mayor Liu, the final condition for our Bao Group to settle in Xinyuan is that the land price per mu should be [-]% lower than that of surrounding counties and cities, and three links and one leveling will be achieved within three months. Our five-year tax break."

At the meeting in the afternoon, Bao Shaotong expressed his final opinion on behalf of the Bao Group.

Hearing such conditions, Liu Xiaoru remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he scolded Bao Shaotong for trying to treat our Xinyuan City Government as a winner.

The cost of land requisition and demolition is already very high. Giving them that land price is already the limit, and there is even a [-]% discount. Doesn’t that mean that our city government should pay for it?
What's more, the tax will be preferential for five years, so my own government will lose money and make money.

Looking at Mayor Liu's frown, Secretary-General Huang of the municipal government next to him whispered in his ear:
"Mayor Liu, there is no other way. It seems that we can only agree to their conditions. Although we have lost a little money in land prices and taxes, with the investment of [-] billion, our city's GDP will increase a lot. But it’s a big achievement project.”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoru shook his head slightly, he knew that this shopping mall negotiation was like a battlefield, and these might be the temptations of the local government.

If he just agrees to the other party's conditions, the government will spend tens of millions of dollars. Although the money doesn't have to be paid by himself, it is also the money of all the people in Xinyuan City, so they can't just be so cheap.

Secretary-General Huang of the municipal government looked at Liu Xiaoru a little anxiously. The government will suffer a little loss. Anyway, it is not a loss of its own money. going to fly.

"Boss Bao, your condition makes us a little unacceptable. Three links, one leveling and land acquisition and demolition all require a large investment. For these two items alone, our city government will be burdened with heavy debts, not to mention it will take five years. Tax incentives, so that we will not be able to make money for five years, no one wants to do such a business, your conditions are too harsh, Boss Bao."

Liu Xiaoru felt that the appetite for these capitalists was too great, too greedy, and he couldn't just tolerate them.

As long as there is profit, as long as it can make money, he doesn't believe that the cooked duck will really fly away. He still has confidence in the conditions that Xinyuan City has.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoru refused to let go, Bao Shaotong knew that he had met a strong opponent.

He spread his arms out of embarrassment, expressing his regret for this negotiation.

"Mayor Liu, since your city government is not sincere enough, then we have nothing to talk about. I hope we will have another chance to cooperate next time."

Bao Shaotong decided to play hard to get, let's talk slowly first.

Bao Shaotong stood up and was about to leave the negotiating table. At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated rapidly.
