Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 707 I have an idea

A misunderstanding has already occurred; saying no now would seem like a blatant attempt to cover something up.

Luo Yang suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"The board office is out of staff, so let's assign them administrative work for now."

Luo Yang, who was so angry he wanted to tear his hair out, waved his hand and quickly sent Sun Jingyu away.

There were only a few documents left on his desk, but he wasn't in the mood to deal with them. He figured he might as well leave work early and avoid seeing them altogether.

Thinking of this, Luo Yang put down his pen and prepared to get up and leave.

My phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Zhu Hong, the secretary of the high-ranking official He, calling.

"Hello, Mr. Luo, I am Zhu Hong, Secretary of High-ranking Official He."

After the call connected, Zhu Hong's voice came through the phone: "I have already reported what you said on the phone this morning to the leader. The leader instructed that there is a reception event at the InterContinental Hotel tomorrow morning, and there is some free time between 10:30 and 10:50."

"Okay, I'll definitely be at the InterContinental Hotel before 10:30 tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the weekend, and Luo Yang originally thought he wouldn't be able to see the high-ranking official until next Monday. Now that he can see him earlier, although the time is a little shorter, it's enough.

After all, he was just testing the waters and didn't want to have a long talk with his superior.

"I have to thank Secretary Zhu for coordinating things so that the leader could take the time out of his busy schedule to listen to my report."

Luo Yang replied with a smile, "When do you have time to meet with Secretary Zhu for a small get-together?"

"Mr. Luo, you're too kind. I was just reporting what you said verbatim. It's clear that you hold a special place in the leader's heart that you were able to make time for me so quickly."

Zhu Hong's tone was also very modest: "As for small gatherings, it depends on how busy the leaders are. After all, I need to be on standby at any time, and it's rare for me to have any free time of my own."

Although he held a deputy position in the secretariat, his main job was to serve the high-ranking official He, and he was basically on call 24 hours a day.

"Then let's wait until Secretary Zhu is free."

Luo Yang replied with a smile, and then the two of them didn't chat for long before hanging up the phone almost simultaneously.

Before I could put my phone down, Jiang Fan called again.

"Honey, I can't stay with you tonight. I'm going home for dinner."

"Can't you take me with you?"

Luo Yang was still thinking about meeting his boss tomorrow and didn't react immediately. He casually replied, "I'm really craving my mom's chicken soup."

"Not tonight."

Jiang Fan firmly refused, saying, "I need to discuss important life matters with them, and it's inconvenient for you to be here."

Luo Yang instantly realized that this girl was planning to talk to her parents about getting their marriage certificate tonight, and the conversation that would follow was definitely not something he should hear.

"Well, then I'll just have to fend for myself outside."

Luo Yang deliberately played the victim, saying, "I never imagined that a billionaire like myself wouldn't even have a place to have dinner."

"Hehe, honey, just bear with it for one more night."

After Jiang Fan finished acting cute, she comforted him, "Sweetie, I'll keep you company tomorrow night. You can eat whatever you want."

"You said it, you can eat whatever you want."

Luo Yang touched his nose and smiled maliciously.

Laughter reached Jiang Fan's ears through the phone, reminding her of something, and she quickly hung up.

After putting his phone away, Luo Yang smiled and shook his head.

His smile vanished in an instant, and only then did he realize that he was actually going to have dinner alone.

Why bother leaving get off work early?
He casually pressed the red button next to his desk and called Sun Jingyu in.

"Go to the cafeteria and get me some food."

Since there's nowhere else to go, I might as well get rid of the remaining files.

While instructing Sun Jingyu to bring him his meal, he said, "Your board office doesn't need to wait for me; you can leave on time. You can leave your dishes until tomorrow morning to clean up."

"It's okay for me, it won't take up much time anyway."

Sun Jingyu insisted, "Besides, it's hot now, and leftovers are prone to spoilage. After a night, the smell will linger in your office, so it's better to clean it up tonight."

Hearing her insistence, Luo Yang didn't say anything more and sat down again to start processing the remaining documents.

He left the office a little after six o'clock.

Passing by the board office, I glanced at it and saw that everyone except Sun Jingyu had already left work.

In a small city like Yangshi, there aren't many good places to go at night if you don't have close friends to hang out with. If it were seven or eight years from now, you could find a foot massage parlor to lie down for two or three hours, but now it's only 12 years, and the city is still full of saunas.

After returning home, I listened to music and read for a while in the study before going to bed early.

I got up around 7 a.m. the next day, washed up, went downstairs to the gym and worked out for half an hour. After taking a shower and changing my clothes, I rushed to the InterContinental Hotel.

There's still time to have breakfast at the hotel buffet.

A little after 9:30, Luo Yang ordered a coffee in the hotel lobby lounge area and waited for someone while he drank it.

Just after 10 o'clock, Zhu Hong called to ask where he was.

Knowing that Luo Yang was already waiting in the hotel lobby, Zhu Hong then led him to the rest area of ​​the small conference room on the second floor and told him that the high-ranking official He might meet with him ahead of time.

Sure enough, shortly before 10:10, the high-ranking official He appeared in the rest area.

"I'm so sorry to bother you on the weekend, Mr. He."

"Mr. Luo, you're too kind. You're the one we should be serving well."

As he shook hands with Luo Yang, the official smiled and said, "Only with more outstanding entrepreneurs like President Luo can Yang City develop better."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two took their seats on the single sofa.

Almost at the exact second, Zhu Hong also walked in carrying two cups of freshly brewed tea.

"Officer He, I heard you have a reception here today. I hope I haven't bothered you?"

Although Luo Yang didn't have much time, he still needed to make the necessary opening remarks, as dealing with government officials was an unavoidable process.

"It won't affect anything, I'm just keeping you company."

Official He smiled and said, "It's a research team from the province. They just arrived from next door last night and will be leaving in a few days."

The specific content of the survey was not mentioned at all.

"It's good that I didn't disturb you."

Luo Yang wasn't really interested in these matters. Following up on what the high-ranking official had just said, he changed the subject: "My company is also going to conduct a comprehensive survey soon to prepare for the subsequent full integration."

"Full integration?"

Official He was very astute and asked directly, "Are you planning to integrate the industries in Yang City and establish a group company?"

Entrepreneurs of Luo Yang's caliber are registered in the city.

He had numerous companies under his name, each with its annual output value, tax payments, job creation capacity, and future potential. All this information was clearly presented to the top leader.

Not to mention that there had already been some action taken recently; the preparatory team led by Sun Jingyu almost registered the Guangfan Group's business information.

"The original plan was to integrate all the industries in Yangshi and form a group company."

Luo Yang replied with a smile, "But after learning about the management structures of some large corporations in Shanghai, I realized that my original model was too outdated. So I hired a professional team to conduct a thorough survey of the company, and then learn from those large companies to make a deep adjustment and integration."

"President Luo has quite the boldness." Official He said succinctly, "Is the matter you wanted to report to me related to this? Does the integration of Yang City require the city's assistance?"

"Yes, we need the city's help."

Luo Yang said tactfully, "After preliminary investigation, we found that the entire group is a bit crippled. It is still small in scale, so the impact is not significant. However, as some of the high-tech industries that were laid out in the early stages grow, the weakness will hold us back."

"Secretary Zhu, let me take this opportunity to test you."

With a smile, He Gaoguan looked at Zhu Hong, who was sitting not far away, and said, "Tell me, what is missing from President Luo's company?"

Since I'm meeting Luo Yang today, I must have made preparations overnight.

"Since the leader asked me to speak, I'll take the liberty of doing so."

Zhu Hong did not shirk responsibility or show any timidity. After a polite remark, he said, "President Luo has established many industries in Yang City, including clothing companies that are essentially money bags, high-tech industries that are focused on the future, and cultural tourism projects that play a leading role. At first glance, there seem to be no shortcomings, but from a long-term perspective, there is still a lack of the most important engine."

There's something.
"Secretary Zhu, what do you think this engine is?" Luo Yang asked with great interest.

"Financing channels".

Zhu Hong stated the result directly: "Zhengyang Group is very profitable, but compared to the investment in the new energy industry, it seems somewhat insufficient. Therefore, President Luo needs more financial support."

If Zhu Hong had continued, the conversation would have to go on to mention banks.

Perhaps in the eyes of this high-ranking official, the reason for seeking his help today is to ask the city to help introduce him to banking connections and open up more financing channels.

The direction was right, but the result was wrong.

So we can't let him continue; we have to stop here.

"Boss, someone like Secretary Zhu is a talent anywhere."

Luo Yang did not interrupt Zhu Hong directly, but smiled and said to the high-ranking official He, "You are fully qualified to serve as a vice president in my company!"

Zhu Hong remained modest.

Official He also laughed and nodded, saying, "Xiao Zhu is quite good. After a few years of training, he will be able to manage a township."

“I do need more funds.”

After achieving his goal, Luo Yang revealed his trump card: "Influenced by my father-in-law, I am very interested in the new energy industry and have spent a lot of time paying attention to it. I believe that the new energy industry has great potential in the future, so I have decided to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry in the next two or three years."

"You want to build new energy vehicles?"

Even the usually composed official was surprised: "This is no joke!"

To his knowledge, none of Luo Yang's companies are related to car manufacturing.

Now, proposing to build new energy vehicles in front of him doesn't seem like asking for land quotas.

Do you want a subsidy?
It's no wonder that the official thought this way, because since the government introduced policies to support the new energy vehicle industry, there have been far too many companies claiming to be manufacturing new energy vehicles and asking for subsidies.

However, to this day, the domestic companies that received subsidies have not produced any decent new energy vehicles.

Otherwise, why would Shanghai offer such favorable policies and spend so much money to bring in Tesla?

If even one family had been more competitive, things wouldn't have come to this.

“Mr. He, my father-in-law and I have already invested in a company in Shanghai that specializes in producing power batteries for Tesla’s new energy vehicles.”

Luo Yang then offered something more concrete: "We've already been included in the supplier list."

He was telling the high-ranking official that he was going to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, and that he wasn't completely without any foundation.

"Are you planning to do this with President Jiang?"

He Gaoguan also knew that Jiang Yuanshan was Luo Yang's father-in-law.

This matter is not a secret among many big bosses and leaders in the city.

"Yes, we've discussed it more than once."

Luo Yang said directly, "The project preparation team should be set up before the end of the year, and preliminary research work is about to begin."

This is for real.

How much are you planning to invest initially?

"At least 100 million."

Luo Yang held up one finger: "My father-in-law's family and I will contribute 50 billion yuan."

"Does Mr. Luo need to borrow money?"

After a moment of silence, the high-ranking official looked at Luo Yang and asked, "How much do you plan to borrow?"

"No need to borrow money!"

Luo Yang's words shocked both the high-ranking official He and Zhu Hong, who was sitting to the side.

Not 500 million, not 50 million, but 5000 billion!

"Does Mr. Luo have that much cash flow on hand?"

Zhu Hong saw through his leader's intentions and asked the question he wanted to know in advance.

Two years is enough.

Luo Yang didn't mention the source of his funds, but simply said in a relaxed tone, "I have even more profitable businesses in Shanghai."

"He's so young and promising!"

Hearing Luo Yang say this with such certainty, the official He couldn't help but exclaim, "Let alone Yang City, even in a place like Shanghai, there aren't many outstanding entrepreneurs like President Luo."

After the praise, the topic returned to the key point.

What exactly does Luo Yang need the city's help with?
This time, the high-ranking official did not rush to speak, perhaps out of a sense of prudence, or perhaps because he had other suspicions.

He looked at Luo Yang quietly.

"What I need now is a platform with financial attributes."

Luo Yang frankly stated his demands: "Besides the need for a platform to coordinate funding for new energy vehicle manufacturing projects, all industries, after integration, also need a financial platform to unleash their internal potential and help companies get on the engine of rapid development."

This can be seen as a response to the engine that Zhu Hong mentioned earlier.

He pretended to be confused, but Zhu Hong's face flushed almost imperceptibly.

"A platform with financial attributes?"

Official He frowned immediately.

Everyone knows that the so-called platform Luo Yang is talking about is actually a bank.

The lounge was quiet at this moment.

Zhu Hong, who was standing next to him, subconsciously raised his wrist and checked the time.

Before the high-ranking official could finish his thought, he got up, walked over, and whispered something in the leader's ear.

"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, the break in the meeting is almost over, and the leader needs to rush back."

"I didn't expect the leader to meet with me during the break in the meeting."

Luo Yang immediately stood up: "Officer He, we can't neglect the provincial leaders. I'll come to your office on Monday to give you a detailed report. What do you think?"

He Gaoguan stood up and shook hands with Luo Yang.

"After 3 p.m. on Monday."

He gave Luo Yang a meaningful look: "Young people these days really have ideas."
