213: Chapter 213 Good News

Zhang Qun had the door closed and was throwing a tantrum alone in his office.

"Damn it, this is outrageous! A matter of such magnitude, and he didn't report it to me, the mayor, in advance? This Qin Chuan really needs to be taught a lesson."

"Don't let me catch an opportunity, otherwise, you won't have a good time!"

At this moment, Qin Chuan was in his office, drinking tea while chatting with County Mayor Sheng Huaian about investment attraction.

A couple of days ago, County Mayor Sheng Huaian had led a team to the capital again to visit the senior management of several enterprises, but the harvest was minimal.

Having just returned today, he was complaining to Qin Chuan about his trip to the capital.

"Secretary Qin, trying to persuade those large enterprises to invest in our Wanshun County is too difficult. I was full of confidence before, but now I don't have any certainty, and I don't have much confidence in when we can attract investment."

"Comrade County Mayor Sheng Huaian, you've worked hard. I have seen your efforts. Although we didn't attract a massive investment, we did manage to secure one in the 50-million-yuan range."

This was a private enterprise from the provincial capital, and both sides had reached a preliminary agreement to invest 50 million yuan to build a factory in Wanshun County.

This could be considered a consolation prize; at least they didn't come back empty-handed, and had finally secured an investment.

County Mayor Sheng Huaian said, "At least the effort wasn't entirely in vain, but a 50-million-yuan investment is still a bit small."

"Take it slowly. We have the Jigong Mountain Gold Mine. Even without large investments, the development of our Wanshun County won't be bad."

Of course, this was purely to comfort County Mayor Sheng Huaian.

As for investments, who would complain about having too many? The more, the better.

The two chatted for a while about attracting investments, and the topic shifted to the Jigongshan Gold Mine.

County Mayor Sheng Huaian did not hide his admiration.

"Secretary Qin, you are truly impressive. Not only did you discover this super large mine, but you also secured a 10% stake for our Wanshun County. The annual revenue will be staggering; just thinking about it makes me a little excited."

After chatting for a while, County Mayor Sheng Huaian left.

In the afternoon, he received a call from his aunt, Qin Libei, who told Qin Chuan a piece of very valuable information.

"Chuan'er, congratulations on discovering a world-class gold mine. When mentioning this matter, the old man gave you a thumbs up."

After chatting for a bit, Qin Libei said, "There is some news you might be interested in. You should know about the Shenlong Automotive Group, right? They are preparing to invest a massive 20 billion yuan to build an automobile manufacturing base in the Central South region, mainly for producing new energy vehicles."

The Shenlong Automotive Group, of course he knew them!

A behemoth in domestic automobile manufacturing, a state-owned enterprise, and a deputy ministerial-level unit. The cars they manufacture have a great reputation in the domestic market.

Their vision is quite good; to actually invest so much capital to build a new energy vehicle manufacturing base—20 billion yuan!

Qin Chuan was instantly tempted!

If this investment could land in Wanshun County, combined with the current Jigongshan Gold Mine, they could take off directly—no, it would be equivalent to riding a rocket.

"Aunt, this news is so exciting." Qin Chuan said, "I know you love me the most. Can you help me make an introduction? I want to visit the senior management of the Shenlong Automotive Group. If I can persuade them to place this investment in our Wanshun County, that would be wonderful!"

Qin Libei said, "Then I will help you make contact; wait for my news."

About half an hour later, Qin Libei's call came through again, "Chuan'er, I've set it up for you. If you go to the Shenlong Automotive Group, just look for their president, President Ma Longfei. He has some connections with our Qin Family and is one of the old man's students. Persuading him to place this investment in Wanshun County shouldn't be a big problem."

"Thank you, thank you, Aunt."

Qin Chuan was happy and hurriedly expressed his thanks.

There was no time to lose.

After finishing the call, Qin Chuan called Xia Hai in and instructed, "Book a few plane tickets and notify Director Hu. We are going to the capital today."

Xia Hai was surprised. Why was his leader suddenly going to the capital? Hadn't County Mayor Sheng Huaian and the others just returned from the capital today?

However, as an excellent secretary, he knew deeply that he shouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask; he just needed to carry out the orders.

"Okay, I will go notify Director Hu and book the tickets immediately."

Xia Hai's efficiency was quite high; he booked tickets for after five o'clock in the afternoon. Thus, the group of several people first went to the provincial capital.

Before departing, Qin Chuan chatted with County Mayor Sheng Huaian for a few words.

"Comrade County Mayor Sheng Huaian, I am planning to go to the capital shortly. Please take care of the affairs at home."

"Secretary Qin, what are you going to the capital for?"

Without hiding anything, Qin Chuan said, "I heard that the Shenlong Automotive Group is preparing to select a site in the Central South region to invest 20 billion yuan to build an automobile production base, specifically for manufacturing new energy vehicles. I am preparing to visit their senior management to see if I can attract this investment."

What!

You are this domineering!!!

County Mayor Sheng Huaian was completely stunned!!!

The Shenlong Automotive Group is a deputy ministerial-level state-owned enterprise and one of the Fortune Global 500. He was actually going to visit their senior management.

A 20-billion-yuan investment—Qin Chuan really dared to think big!

For such a huge investment, County Mayor Sheng Huaian felt he could only look up to it. In any case, he didn't dare to have the slightest thought, knowing it certainly wasn't something someone of his level could attract.

He was even a little worried about whether Qin Chuan and his team could even meet the senior management of the Shenlong Automotive Group; they might not even be able to get through the front gate.

He had deep personal experience with the hardships of going to the capital to attract investment.

"Secretary Qin, are you really going to visit the senior management of the Shenlong Automotive Group?"

"Yes, I'm going to visit to see if I can persuade them to place the new energy vehicle manufacturing base in our Wanshun County."

County Mayor Sheng Huaian's mouth twitched. He really wanted to persuade him, "Don't go; it will just be a waste of time. They might not even see you."

But in the end, he held back and didn't say it, instead saying, "Don't worry about the affairs at home; I will manage them well."

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "I will leave home to you. If there is anything important, call me."

After giving a few instructions, Qin Chuan and the others got in the car and left, first heading to the provincial capital, where they would take a flight after five o'clock in the afternoon to the capital.

This was not a confidential matter; many county leaders knew about Qin Chuan going to the capital to attract investment.

"I heard Qin Chuan went to the capital to visit the senior management of the Shenlong Automotive Group. That's awesome! That's a deputy ministerial-level state-owned enterprise!"

"I think it's unlikely. It's quite possible he won't even get to see their senior management."

"I don't think so. What if Qin Chuan is lucky?"

"..."

The news also quickly reached Zhang Qun's ears. After hearing about this, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered, thinking to himself, "He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
