Chapter 724 724 Reserved Land
Dushan County's economic development is lagging, and financial difficulties are a persistent problem.
If this issue is to be resolved by the City Party Committee and City Government, money has to be spent. However, Wuning City is currently experiencing rapid economic growth, so there's not much money available to aid Dushan County.
Therefore, Secretary Tian and Zhang Bo thought of having Lin Hao pay to purchase their state-owned construction land quotas to alleviate Dushan County's economic pressure.
Lin Hao reported this issue to Li Jingyi, and without delay, Li Jingyi promptly reported to Secretary Cao.
Over the past few days, after meeting with Mayor Ma and several senior officials from the City Party Committee, Secretary Cao felt that this matter ultimately hinged on Lin Hao.
After all, asking Lin Hao to pay for state-owned construction land quotas was communicated in advance, but it goes against certain regulations. If Lin Hao were to renege, the City Party Committee and City Government would find it hard to handle.
Thus, Secretary Cao's intention in talking to him was to gauge Lin Hao's attitude.
"Although this matter somewhat violates regulations, as long as you are willing to pay in cash, our City Party Committee and City Government have no major issues..."
"Yes, Secretary Tian and County Magistrate Zhang have discussed this with me, as long as the City Party Committee and City Government agree, I have no objections," Lin Hao agreed readily.
"You're agreeing so easily; those state-owned construction land quotas are money, aren't you the least bit concerned?" Secretary Cao teased with a smile.
"Secretary Cao, Dushan County is adjacent to our Wucheng County; they're interdependent. I'm aware of their financial struggles. If I can help them through the tough times, I'd be happy to."
Lin Hao explained with a smile, "Additionally, Governor Xu is bringing the new energy vehicle project today, and I feel it's necessary to accumulate some state-owned construction land to reserve some land for that project."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Cao felt Lin Hao was farsighted too, and said with a subtle smile, "It seems like a win-win situation from your explanation."
"Yes, I think we can help resolve Dushan County's financial issues and gain more negotiating leverage for the new energy vehicle project," Lin Hao nodded slightly.
"From what I know, you've borrowed state-owned construction land quotas from other districts and counties. If they also require cash payment, what would you do?" Secretary Cao raised the biggest concern.
Lin Hao frowned slightly and said, "If they require cash too, we can agree because if the new energy vehicle project progresses, we will need a lot of land."
"From what you're saying, those land quotas seem insufficient, can you really handle it?" Secretary Cao asked the biggest question.
"No problem, I'll try my best to handle it. Even if I can't use it all, I'll attract investment to completely utilize the quotas," Lin Hao confidently stated.
"Hahaha..." Secretary Cao laughed heartily, "Indeed, youth is fearless, the young are dauntless!"
"Does Secretary Cao agree to proceed with this?" Lin Hao asked joyfully.
"Since you're courageous enough to take on so many state-owned construction land quotas, our City Party Committee and City Government will certainly offer strong support. There will soon be an investment attraction conference at the provincial capital, and I'll take you there," Secretary Cao replied with a smile.
An investment attraction conference organized by the province is sure to invite top enterprises, which is a very good opportunity.
Upon hearing Secretary Cao would take him there, Lin Hao promptly thanked him, "Thank you for your support, Secretary Cao!"
"Alright, let's go greet Governor Xu; he should be arriving soon." Secretary Cao slowly stood up.
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the entrance.
Li Jingyi looked at them as they stepped out, giving Lin Hao an inquisitive look, and he returned a reassuring gesture.
A few minutes later, Governor Xu's car stopped at the entrance, and Secretary Cao quickly led them to greet him.
"Governor Xu, welcome, welcome..." Secretary Cao smiled as he extended his hand.
Governor Xu exuded an authoritative aura, glanced at Lin Hao with indifference before shaking Secretary Cao's hand.
"Secretary Cao, it's lively today!" Governor Xu said with a smile, observing the crowd entering in line.
"With Governor Xu here to guide our work, the more grand the occasion, the better!" Secretary Cao was all smiles.
Governor Xu turned to Lin Hao, extended his hand, and smiled, "County Magistrate Lin, long time no see!"
"Governor Xu, welcome, welcome..." Lin Hao quickly stepped forward to shake the leader's hand.
"This must be Secretary Li of Wucheng County?" Governor Xu looked at Li Jingyi.
"Governor Xu, welcome, welcome..." Li Jingyi quickly stepped forward to shake the leader's hand.
After the handshakes with the three, Governor Xu turned to the company executives beside him and smiled as he introduced, "Secretary Cao, Secretary Li, County Magistrate Lin, this is Chairman Ai Xuejun of Aiyadi New Energy Vehicle."
Aiyadi New Energy Vehicle ranks among the top three domestically, and it's also a high-tech automotive company focused on R&D.
Ai Xuejun, about fifty years old, was dressed in a well-tailored suit, and sported a neat haircut, wearing glasses, clearly a technically oriented executive.
The three were pleasantly surprised that Governor Xu managed to invite the boss of such a major new energy vehicle company over.
"Chairman Ai, these three are Secretary Cao of Wuning City, Secretary Li of Wucheng County, and County Magistrate Lin," Governor Xu introduced again.
"Hello, distinguished leaders!" Chairman Ai greeted with a smile, proactively extending his hand.
Secretary Cao shook his hand firmly, laughingly praised, "Chairman Ai, your name is well-known in the new energy vehicle industry!"
"Secretary Cao is exaggerating, well-known? I've been working in the new energy vehicle industry for thirteen years, just a bit of reputation," Chairman Ai humbly replied.
Governor Xu laughed and interjected, "Secretary Cao, this time I brought Chairman Ai over to attend the new energy battery conference, also to check the new energy battery development in Wucheng County. Tomorrow we may arrange for people to accompany him on a field visit."
"Frankly speaking, County Magistrate Lin has been responsible for the new energy project in Wucheng County all along, so let him accompany Chairman Ai on a tour tomorrow," Secretary Cao smiled and looked at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao promptly stepped forward and said, "Rest assured, Governor Xu, tomorrow Secretary Li and I will accompany Chairman Ai well."
"Yes, if Chairman Ai comes to our Wucheng County, we will certainly take good care of him," Li Jingyi chimed in with a smile.
"In that case, I'll leave Chairman Ai to you guys," Governor Xu looked at Lin Hao and Li Jingyi, appearing rather solemn.
"Rest assured, Governor Xu, the task will be completed," Lin Hao promised, subtly hinting at his dual commitment.
Governor Xu gave him a look, evidently indicating that he had brought the person here, now it's up to Lin Hao to seize the opportunity.
The saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes", whether the project will settle in Wucheng County depends entirely on his capabilities.
