Chapter 663: This Will Not Happen Again
Chen Fan's hand tightened slightly on the teacup.
He was somewhat surprised by the sudden question.
He didn't understand what Tong Haoran meant by this question.
Was it purely for business purposes, or was he implying that the Zhao family's situation was related to him?
So Chen Fan didn't rush to answer, but instead pondered and said:
"I'm a businessman... I just happened to see a few days ago that the Zhao family was selling assets at discounted prices. If there's a bargain to be had, I'm naturally interested."
Tong Haoran looked at Chen Fan with some surprise.
This guy's reaction was quite quick.
He seemed to answer his question, but in fact, he didn't say anything.
This guy may only be in his twenties, but his mental strength is far superior to most people.
In that situation just now, if he had suddenly bombarded him without warning, most people would probably have revealed their true colors out of fear.
This guy, however, not only showed no panic at all, but instead played a set of tai chi with him, kicking the ball back.
Now that's good.
The set of explanations prepared earlier couldn't be used at all.
For a moment, Tong Haoran was caught between laughter and tears, as his previously prepared plan was completely disrupted.
However, he didn't show it, but slowly said:
"You've seen the recent situation in our Yunhai city, it's become famous nationwide, ah, this is not a good thing."
"Regarding the Zhao family matter, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Fan glanced at Tong Haoran, and without hesitation, he directly said:
"I think scourges like the Zhao family should have been cleaned up long ago."
"Without destruction, there can be no construction. Cleaning up the Zhao family will be very beneficial for Yunhai's future development."
Tong Haoran sneered: "You sure know how to talk."
"I remember you had deep grudges with the Zhao family before, right?"
Chen Fan was stunned, and decisively said: "My grudges with the Zhao family are well-known to many, but this time, the Zhao family's situation was not my doing."
Tong Haoran glanced at Chen Fan and smiled faintly.
He decided to stop beating around the bush with this guy.
"You don't need to be nervous, I'm not the police chief, I'm not in charge of solving cases, I'm just chatting with you casually."
Chen Fan's face remained expressionless. Even if it was just casual chat, he absolutely couldn't speak carelessly.
This matter was something he could never tell anyone, even if someone found evidence, he had to grit his teeth and deny it to the death.
Fortunately, Tong Haoran seemed to have just asked casually, and didn't continue on the topic of the Zhao family.
"Your company is currently one of the top ones in Yunhai, especially your Feifan Technology, which is even a well-known internet technology company in the country. This has greatly filled the gap of Yunhai not having internet companies."
Tong Haoran sighed with emotion: "In just a few short years, you've managed to develop from a college student to this level, it's quite remarkable."
Chen Fan quickly gave a small compliment.
"It's mainly because Mayor Tong manages well, and our Yunhai has a good business environment."
Tong Haoran raised his hand, "You don't need to flatter me, there's no need to hide anything when speaking in front of me."
"I can tell you that Yunhai is planning to build a science and technology industrial park next, hoping to attract a batch of high-tech industries to settle in Yunhai in the future."
"As Yunhai's most famous internet company, Feifan Technology will be promoted a lot by the city at that time, and we hope you can cooperate fully."
Chen Fan nodded: "This is a good thing, we will definitely cooperate to the fullest at that time."
Tong Haoran continued: "Of course, for companies like Feifan Technology, we have policies in the city. When the time comes, see if there are any difficulties in terms of policies, you can bring them up. Within our capabilities, the city will help if we can."
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, this was a good opportunity.
"Thank you, Mayor Tong."
Tong Haoran waved his hand without continuing on this topic, but instead asked a question.
"You also have a real estate company in your hands, right?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Yes. Qifan Construction, it was just established less than 2 years ago. Currently, we're doing a real estate development project in Nansu Town."
"Nansu Town?"
Tong Haoran looked at Chen Fan with a strange expression.
"Your information is quite up-to-date, huh."
"Information? What information?"
Chen Fan played dumb, "Mayor Tong, we're also just pushing ahead with this..."
He then explained how they got the land in Nansu Town, and why they wanted to develop this piece of land.
"We had no choice, the company really didn't have money, so we could only use this land to practice first."
Tong Haoran was surprised. So that was the reason?
He thought Chen Fan had gotten some inside information, which was why he chose to do real estate in Nansu.
Who would have thought that by coincidence, it was for this reason.
Tong Haoran coughed lightly.
"You don't need to be too helpless, misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. I can tell you some inside good news, Nansu Town will be heavily developed next year to become the transportation hub center of the entire Yunhai."
Chen Fan indeed showed a shocked expression.
"Really?"
Tong Haoran nodded: "Actually, it's not much of a secret anymore."
"This plan has already been passed at the previous meeting, and will be officially implemented starting next year."
"Your real estate project might appreciate in value by then."
Chen Fan chuckled: "Luck, pure luck."
"Sometimes luck is also part of one's strength."
Tong Haoran sighed, this guy's luck was indeed quite good, no wonder the Zhao family, who had been entrenched in Yunhai for so many years, was actually overthrown by this young man.
Seeing that the topic had been discussed enough, Tong Haoran finally asked.
"What do you think about Yunhai's future development?"
Seeing Chen Fan stunned, Tong Haoran thought his question was too broad.
So he changed his approach.
"I mean, given Yunhai's current situation, what do you think is the best development direction for Yunhai in the future?"
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "Mayor Tong, this... shouldn't be for me to answer, right?"
"This question is too grand."
Tong Haoran waved his hand: "It's fine. There's no outsider here anyway. Just treat it as casual chat between us."
"I want you to look at this question from a businessman's perspective."
"Just speak freely."
Chen Fan was silent for a few seconds, not quite understanding Tong Haoran's purpose in finding him.
Just like this question now, how could it possibly be answered by a small businessman like himself.
However, since the other party asked, Chen Fan couldn't not answer.
So after thinking it over, Chen Fan finally decided to say something truthful.
He coughed lightly, then adjusted his sitting posture, and put on a very serious demeanor.
"Well... since you asked, I'll just say a few words off the top of my head. If I say anything wrong, please don't take offense, Mayor Tong."
Seeing Tong Haoran not speaking, Chen Fan thought for a moment before speaking.
"I think, if Yunhai wants to develop in the future, it's best to develop westward."
Westward?
Tong Haoran was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Fan with some surprise.
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion, just speaking randomly."
Tong Haoran opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask Chen Fan for his reasons.
But the words reached the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back, lowering his head as if pondering something.
Seeing Tong Haoran not speaking for a long time, Chen Fan tried to ask.
"Mayor Tong, if there's nothing else, may I... take my leave?"
"Mm."
Seeing the other party nod, Chen Fan stood up to say goodbye.
Just as he was about to open the door at the entrance, Tong Haoran suddenly spoke from behind.
"Some things... you should trust the government."
"Young people shouldn't be too impulsive..."
"This will not happen again!"
Chen Fan's body, holding the doorknob, suddenly stiffened. He turned his head back to see Tong Haoran looking at him expressionlessly.
Chen Fan took a deep breath, nodded to the other party, and turned to leave.
