Chapter 146 Let it go
The negotiations were tense.
It is called a negotiation, but in fact it is more like a showdown between the two sides.
It was only after Zhang Chi listened for a while that he realized that Li Muqing also had her own difficulties. It was not that she did not want local merchants to invest.
But the people above her already have vested interests in Haicheng, and it would be difficult to abandon the people of Haicheng and let her act freely.
As for the anti-aircraft advertisement erected on that piece of land, it was actually made by the people in Haicheng themselves.
The connection was still made through the Haisha City Culture and Tourism Department, and Li Muqing himself was not aware of it.
At the same time, Li Muqing also said that her personal wish was just to help Shamen Town develop its economy, and she didn't care who the investor was.
All she cares about is the progress and how many jobs the project can create for Shamen Town after it starts.
As for Ye Hongguang and Wang Hu's requests, Li Muqing said that they could all be discussed, and she could even help to fight for them. She just hoped that Ye Hongguang and Wang Hu would not do anything that would hurt both of them.
Li Muqing had investigated both of them, especially Ye Hongguang's background.
She even mentioned the name of Ye Hongguang's wife, and said that the two of them were old acquaintances, but they had little contact with each other since they were so far apart.
Li Muqing's confession made the atmosphere of the conversation much better.
Zhang Chi, who originally thought that he was a little embarrassed being caught in the middle, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
About two hours later.
The two parties finally ended the call.
Li Muqing looked at Zhang Chi and took a long breath.
Zhang Chi saw her looking at the assistant secretary with a serious face.
"Sister Ran, I know you will tell my grandfather about our conversation just now. I have never asked you for anything in my life. This time, I ask you to do me a favor and keep this news secret for two days."
The secretary frowned slightly.
She looked at Zhang Chi with vigilance, and then looked at Li Muqing helplessly.
"Qingqing, have you really decided?"
Li Muqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my problem now. It's Fan Yinian and the others who are making fun of my career. Since I've already lost to them, why didn't they keep their promise and quit? Why did they hide this from me? Don't tell me you don't know what they want to do?"
The secretary's expression changed again and again.
Obviously, Li Muqing's guess was correct.
She actually cooperated with people in Haicheng in private, or had some connection with Li Mucheng's family.
Li Muqing frowned and asked, "Did my uncle ask you to keep it from me?"
The secretary pursed her lips and nodded helplessly: "Qingqing, I know I am sorry for doing this to you, but Mr. Li is doing this to help you, I, I..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Li Mucheng gave the secretary a subtle wink.
The secretary glanced at Zhang Chi and nodded slightly.
When Zhang Chi saw this, he knew that his existence was somewhat redundant.
But thinking of his own affairs that had not been dealt with, he could only bite the bullet and speak: "Well, Mayor Li, I said that today's matter has nothing to do with me, and you will definitely not believe me. In fact, I have a private matter that I want to ask you for help. I want to build a racing track, and the village said that we need the approval documents from the town before we can start construction."
"A racetrack?"
Li Muqing and the secretary looked at each other.
The two did not show any surprise.
Li Muqing smiled and said, "I've seen the video of you competing in Haicheng. Your driving skills are pretty good. Have you ever considered entering an international competition?"
Zhang Chi was stunned.
An idea suddenly occurred to my mind.
He smiled and nodded, "We are currently setting up a racing team to participate in the international race to be held in France next year. The racetrack I applied to build is for next year's race."
“Is there a plan?”
"Well, not yet. I'm thinking that I'll get your approval first, and then I'll spend money to find someone to design it. You know, I'm a small family, and hundreds of thousands of design fees are a huge sum of money for me."
Upon hearing this, Li Muqing couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhang Chi.
"A small family? How come I heard that Zhang, the richest man, got more than 100 million in one game?"
"Uh, who told you that? It's slander! He is slandering me!"
Zhang Chi flatly denied it.
Li Muqing was too lazy to ask. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Car racing is also a good investment project. You should first find a design company to make a comprehensive plan. When designing the venue, remember to lean towards green and public welfare. The possibility of passing the approval will be higher."
Zhang Chi was delighted when he heard this.
After Li Muching said this, the construction of his racing track could basically begin.
As for leaning towards green public welfare or something, the worst that can happen is that we can put up a few more signs near the racetrack.
Similar: The bamboo forest is my home, and greening it depends on everyone. It doesn’t mean that we must plant trees and grow forests. Doing more publicity is also an attitude, isn’t it?
"Okay, okay, I'll go find the company to design a plan right away. Mayor Li, you're busy."
Li Muqing nodded slightly, obviously having something else to discuss with his secretary.
Zhang Chi gave a dry laugh, glanced at the secretary who looked alert, then turned and walked out of the box.
Until shortly after Zhang Chi left.
The secretary then asked, "Qingqing, didn't you ask him to invest in the dock project in Duntou?"
Li Muqing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not appropriate to look for him now. If I had known that he and Ye Hongguang were good friends, I would not have looked for him at all. I made a mistake today."
"That's right. We can't let Ye Hongguang and his men take all the benefits. If that's the case, why don't you just ask Mr. Fan for the dock project?"
After the secretary finished speaking, he looked at Li Muqing with some guilt.
Li Muqing had his back to her, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
However, when she looked back.
Li Muqing smiled calmly and said, "This is the only way. Sister Ran, please talk to him about this matter and the resort project. Let him let it go and stop fighting."
The secretary nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Then I will go back to Haicheng and talk to him in person. After all, he stole a lot of money for you. It will be more sincere for me to talk to him in person, and I can also say a good word for you."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Sister Ran."
Li Muqing turned around and picked up her bag, a complex hint of bitterness and determination flashing in her eyes.
in fact.
Li Muqing had felt a long time ago that she, the elder sister with whom she had grown up, might have a special relationship with Fan Yinian.
Sister Ran is the child of her nanny. She is five years older than her and is the same age as Fan Yinian.
They had previously attended the same primary school and middle school.
It was not until her family decided to let her get in touch with Fan Yinian that Sister Ran transferred to a regular high school.
What does Sister Ran think about this?
Li Muqing had a rough idea in his mind and even asked someone to investigate.
After checking, I found out that the two of them had been having an affair for a long time. How ridiculous...
Perhaps, it's time to understand.
Li Muqing sighed inwardly.
·
Return to the village.
Zhang Chi found Long Jingshan and asked him to help introduce some reliable design companies.
Upon learning that he was looking for a design company to build a racing track and a few distinctive small buildings, Long Jingshan immediately introduced two companies in Haisha City.
"This one is pretty good. They designed the campus of Haisha New No. 1 Middle School, and they also designed the Haisha History Museum. They have won many awards."
"As for this one, the bosses are two young girls who work seriously and don't put on airs. It's just that the company is a little new, having only been established for less than two years."
Zhang Chi nodded and asked curiously, "Have you worked with both of these companies?"
Long Jingshan's smiling face froze, and he shook his head and said, "I have only cooperated with the second company. The first one was a well-established design company in Haisha. They wanted workers with professional certificates, and they didn't look down on people like me who just changed careers." Zhang Chi nodded thoughtfully.
Obviously, it is better to cooperate with the first large company with qualifications. They may have connections with the government and can help you get the approval documents.
However, Zhang Chi wanted to take care of Long Jingshan so that he could earn more income.
If the first company doesn't ask Long Jingshan to help with the construction, why should we ask them?
Moreover, I have Li Mucheng's help in approving the documents, so what qualifications and help do I need from him?
Think of this.
Zhang Chi directly called the second design company.
The person who answered the phone was a salesman. When he heard that he was going to design a racing track, he immediately became enthusiastic.
After talking for a while, the other party promised to send a team to conduct on-site coordination and come up with a reference plan within a week.
It was Zhang Chi’s first time working with a design company and he didn’t understand any of this, so he simply handed it over to Long Jingshan.
Anyway, I have only one requirement, which is that the track must meet the standards of a Category II event and at least have sufficient safety protection measures.
After telling Long Jingshan the request, Zhang Chi handed him the phone and asked him, a professional, to help him talk to the other party.
Zhang Chi is still used to being a hands-off boss.
Instead of spending that time chatting with people, you might as well collect a few more cars to refurbish.
Talk about Cao Cao.
Cao Cao arrives.
Zhang Chi just walked into the store.
I saw Chen Bin sitting in the store, chatting and laughing with Gangzi.
Seeing Zhang Chi coming back, Chen Bin smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. The compensation for your car has been settled, and the money has been transferred to your company's account."
Zhang Chi looked towards Long Jinggang.
After all, the car rental company is now run by Long Jinggang.
"Yes, it has arrived. It's over 9 yuan. It was transferred from Mr. Lu's company account."
Zhang Chi nodded slightly.
It seems that Mr. Lu finally stepped forward to clean up his cousin's mess.
Chen Bin said: "Lao Lu is a very disciplined person. His cousin owed my club tens of thousands of dollars, and he paid it off without asking any questions, haha."
"Brother Bin, do you know President Lu?"
"How could I not know him? Haisha is so small. I'll know him after attending a few business gatherings."
Chen Bin didn't say much, obviously not thinking highly of Mr. Lu.
Zhang Chi nodded slightly, thinking about the size of Mr. Lu's company, which was indeed not worthy of the attention of people like Chen Bin.
Walk aside, pull out a chair and sit down.
Zhang Chi asked curiously, "How come you have time to come here today? Your car will take at least two months to be ready. It's no use rushing me."
Chen Bin waved his hand and took out a pack of Hetianxia.
Zhang Chi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke. Gangzi took one and said, "Brother Bin said he wanted to buy a few Tank 300s."
"Buy a car?"
While making tea, Zhang Chi looked at Chen Bin in confusion.
Chen Bin nodded, exhaled a puff of cigarette, and said with a wry smile: "A buddy who used to be a gangster formed an off-road club and asked me to get a few off-road vehicles to show off. I couldn't refuse."
Zhang Chi nodded slightly.
In recent years, more and more people have started to enjoy outdoor activities, and self-driving tours have become more and more popular. There are dozens of outdoor clubs of all sizes in almost every city.
Many of them are skirting the rules.
How does it work?
A girl on Douyin video revealed some weird things happening in a cycling group.
It is true that the men are legitimate members, but many of the female members in the group are actually there to do that kind of business.
The club makes money from the membership fees of male members and the registration fees for each event.
To put it nicely, it is the registration fee, but in fact it is the meal money for eating seafood. Those who understand will understand.
Without saying a word, Zhang Chi directly gave all 8 Tanks 300 to Chen Bin, quoting a price of 13 yuan for each one, which was to yuan lower than the market price, which was considered to be giving Chen Bin enough face.
Chen Bin was straightforward and transferred 110 million to Zhang Chi on the spot, giving him 6 more.
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I know you also need to make money. We will visit each other frequently in the future. It is better to settle the accounts normally. It doesn't matter if you treat us to dinner privately."
Zhang Chi heard this and nodded.
I felt that Chen Bin was a bit snobbish before, but now after getting to know him, I feel he is not bad.
Of course, it may also have something to do with Ye Hongguang's face.
It doesn’t matter whether you are relaxed or not, as long as you make money.
The purchase price of those 8 Tank 300s was less than RMB 3 each, and I made RMB or by reselling them, which made me very happy.
"By the way, Chizi, there is one more thing I want to ask of you."
Zhang Chi glanced at Gangzi, and after confirming that the remittance had been received, he asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Chen Bin coughed lightly and said with an embarrassed expression: "It's my cousin. Can you add her back on WeChat and don't block her phone number?"
Zhang Chi was stunned.
"Wu Keli?"
"Ah, yes."
Chen Bin smiled bitterly and said, "That girl doesn't really have much on her mind. She might be too bored. Aren't you high school classmates?"
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows speechlessly.
Wu Keli is such a brave woman that Zhang Chi really has no feelings for her.
Not to mention that she was married and had a son.
Not to mention Zhang Chi, a man who has never been in a relationship, any normal man would feel uncomfortable with this kind of thing.
Of course, if he is a scumbag who doesn't want to take responsibility and just wants to play around, then Wu Keli is at least a great beauty.
It’s just that Zhang Chi really doesn’t want to have anything to do with the woman he knows. Is the fast food in the club not delicious? Why go through all this trouble?
Just Long Xiaoyun alone made him not know what to do.
Now there's this woman, Shen Feifei. Zhang Chi has already been overwhelmed and has been trying to avoid the two women recently.
If there was another Wu Keli, he really didn't know if he would explode.
He is not Zhou the scumbag or Chen the scumbag, and the woman next to him is not as easy to bully as Shen Youchu.
If Long Xiaoyun and Shen Feifei knew that he had a mistress outside, they would definitely cut off any possibility of being with him.
Zhang Chi is still aware of this.
So, in order to avoid Wu Keli, he simply blocked Wu Keli and deleted her as a friend.
Unexpectedly, this woman found the breakthrough point on Chen Bin.
Zhang Chi felt helpless and at the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother Bin, let's just let things take their course."
Chen Bin looked at his expression and had a rough guess in his mind. It was indeed difficult to force such things.
Although he felt sorry for his cousin, he couldn't force Zhang Chi to pretend to be nice to her.
By then, you might end up making things worse and end up in a difficult position.
Instead, Zhang Chi is right.
Everything depends on fate. If two people are destined to be together, they will meet sooner or later.
If there is no destiny, don't give Wu Keli too many thoughts, lest this girl do something stupid.
