After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes.
Everyone started to stand up and propose toasts. Lin Hao also went around for a round of toasts and finally returned to his seat.
Liao Jiarong also went around toasting. When she toasted Chairman Ma, she couldn't help but quietly report something.
Chairman Ma was intrigued upon hearing this, turned his head to look at Lin Hao, and asked with a smile, "County Magistrate Lin, I heard there's a national construction land for sale in your county?"
"Indeed, there is. Is Chairman Ma also interested?" Lin Hao nodded with a smile.
"Hehehe..." Chairman Ma laughed heartily, "Of course I'm interested. Should we find a place to talk?"
"Sure, let's go to the room next door." Lin Hao readily agreed.
The two headed to a small room next door, with Chairman Ma bringing Liao Jiarong along.
After the three sat down, Chairman Ma first spoke, "To be honest, County Magistrate Lin, our group is quite large, and we have rented factories everywhere, even securing rent-free policies. However, factories are not our assets, so purchasing national construction land as our fixed asset is something we need."
"Since the Chairman has spoken, I won't beat around the bush. How much land do you need?" Lin Hao asked directly.
Seeing his straightforwardness, Chairman Ma laughed cheerfully, "The more, the better, of course. It depends on how much land County Magistrate Lin can provide."
"Chairman Ma, I'll find a way with the national construction land quota. However, I estimate there won't be any preferential policy on price!" Lin Hao said with a wry smile.
"I know the national construction land quota is hard to get. As long as there's a quota, we'll abide by your pricing standards and won't haggle." Chairman Ma replied with a smile.
"Honestly, Chairman, I initially thought since you settled in the park and got a rent-free offer, I didn't consider selling the national construction land to you, which was an oversight in my work." Lin Hao expressed his apologies sincerely.
Liao Jiarong quickly responded, admitting, "County Magistrate Lin's work has been very thorough; it's just my work that hasn't been up to par."
"Chairman and President Liao, the city's and county's quotas are almost sold out. However, I might be able to borrow some quotas from a neighboring district or county. It may take a few days." Lin Hao came up with a solution.
"Alright, we'll wait for your good news." Chairman Ma smiled happily.
"I'll be quick." Lin Hao promised.
"President Liao, follow up on this matter." Chairman Ma instructed.
"Sure, Chairman." Liao Jiarong replied.
...
After the banquet, Lin Hao and Liao Jiarong saw Chairman Ma and his group off, completing the task for the day.
Liao Jiarong, with her subordinates, gave Lin Hao a knowing look before reluctantly leaving.
Lin Hao naturally understood her meaning, which was to go to her villa for some fun since the previous affair was rushed.
However, he had another engagement tonight, which was to help Yu Peishan secure a loan.
Even though he had called President Min at the Industrial and Commercial Bank, President Min, that old fox, insisted on meeting Lin Hao in person.
In short, his favor was sent out with some expectations attached.
Upon receiving Yu Peishan's call, Lin Hao asked her to arrange a tea meeting with President Min that evening to discuss the financing loan matter.
"Xiaolu, have the driver take you home. I have some matters to attend to." Lin Hao instructed Lu Xiaodan to leave.
"County Magistrate Lin, should we report today's inspection and research visit of Chairman Ma?" Lu Xiaodan asked.
After all, it was a good opportunity to promote the new energy battery project and inject some vitality into the entire industrial chain.
Lin Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you draft the content first? I'll consult with President Liao and Chairman Ma regarding whether or not to publish it."
"Got it, I'll organize it when I get back." Lu Xiaodan agreed.
"As for the glass products your father mentioned, please compile a list of products and specifications for me. I need to get a better understanding." Lin Hao added.
Lu Xiaodan's eyes lit up and she said, "Sure, I'll have my dad give me a list when I get back."
"Alright, off you go." Lin Hao gestured for her to leave.
"Goodbye!" Lu Xiaodan left happily.
After all, Lin Hao's promise to her before was only verbal. Asking for the product list was truly helping her.
After the beauty left, Lin Hao contacted Yu Peishan and took a taxi to the agreed teahouse.
In the luxurious private room of the teahouse, Yu Peishan was with President Min, drinking tea and chatting while inquiring about the new company's situation.
Naturally, President Min subtly asked about Yu Peishan's relationship with Lin Hao, and Yu Peishan had no choice but to talk about her previous experiences with the Zhi Xing Group.
President Min had heard of the lecherous CEO of Zhi Xing Group and understood why Lin Hao supported Yu Peishan to start her own business.
However, Yu Peishan was smart and didn't disclose her relationship with Li Jingyi.
"President Min, I'm sorry for being late due to another engagement tonight." Lin Hao opened the private room door and walked in slowly.
President Min and Yu Peishan immediately stood up, with the former reaching out his hand and saying with a smile, "County Magistrate Lin, you're busy with important matters, sorry to trouble you with such a small thing."
"President Min, you're too polite. Please, have a seat!" Lin Hao smiled, shook his hand, and then sat down.
"County Magistrate Lin, please take a seat." Yu Peishan said while pouring Lin Hao a cup of Gongfu tea.
Lin Hao graciously took a sip and got straight to the point, "So, how far have the discussions gone?"
"County Magistrate Lin, we've essentially discussed everything. However, our bank still has concerns regarding President Yu's debt repayment capability, as you know. If the evaluation doesn't pass..." President Min trailed off, his meaning clear.
"That's simple. President Yu's partner has already injected 3 million in capital, so she can assume joint liability." Lin Hao replied with a smile.
In a limited liability company, partners generally bear risk according to their capital contribution, and few are willing to assume additional responsibilities.
Of course, with one word from Lin Hao, Zhang Yuanyuan would surely sign for Yu Peishan, which was no difficulty at all.
With the change in equity, Zhang Yuanyuan's company's structure was adjusted, creating two layers of firewall. As long as the companies below are the ones actually investing, they generally wouldn't heavily impact the group's headquarters.
Zhang Yuanyuan and her friends had already begun recruiting and set up several external investment departments, covering the stock market, futures, and forex.
Of course, this was set according to Lin Hao's plan. As for the other comprehensive external investment departments, Lin Hao was contemplating acquiring the New Century Grand Hotel and appointing Luo Yimei as general manager.
Although Luo Zhijun was quite an annoying jerk, the young lady had given her first time to Lin Hao, and he certainly didn't want to see her suffer.
