I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 235 No matter what, having a unique business is always better than having competition.

Fang Qingye stayed in Huijing for two days before returning to Nanxin. Huijing was very comfortable, but it was a bit hard on her back.

In addition to meeting with the manager of Donghua Tourism Landscape Design Co., Ltd., I also met with an engineering cost consulting company. Once the planning for the Nanxinhu Scenic Area is finalized, we will immediately begin the engineering cost estimation.

When he returned, he was with two other people in a pickup truck loaded with various measuring instruments. Two engineers from Donghua Company had accompanied Fang Qingye on a field trip to Nanxin.

One of them, surnamed Luo, named Luo Bin, was very dedicated. He had just arrived in Nanxin and checked into the hotel. After resting for a short time, he followed Fang Qingye and drove to the shore of Nanxin Lake.

Although it is late February, the temperature is still fluctuating between warm and cold. Fang Qingye, wearing a down jacket, followed Luo Bin, looking at the planning document in his hand, and set up the total station.

Although the planning document provided by Fang Qingye already contained the measured parameters, Luo Bin felt that he would only feel at ease if he measured them himself.

Just as the three were busy, a taxi drove up from the road not far from the lake. Two people were sitting in the back seat: Hu Hao and his assistant Yu Yang.

After spending a few days in Nanxin, he planned to meet with Director He of the Development and Reform Bureau again today to discuss the construction of Nanxin Lake Park.

The scenic area was somewhat overrated, so it was simply converted into a park, which is also a good place for leisure and recreation.

As he passed by the lake, he noticed three people standing on the shore, pointing and talking about something. At first, he assumed they were from the local water resources department and didn't pay much attention. But then he realized that the young man in the down jacket standing there looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Driver, stop!" Hu Hao suddenly remembered and quickly told the driver to stop the car.

Yu Yang, who was sitting next to him, also noticed the three people by the lake. He leaned over and asked curiously, "Manager Hu, what are they doing? Measuring hydrology? Are they from the Water Resources Bureau?"

"I don't think so. I've met that young man in the down jacket once. His name is Fang Qingye. He's the manager of some seedling company."

Yu Yang was very surprised when he heard this.

"What's a nursery company manager doing by the lake? Does he plant trees here too?"

"I've heard that he also has another identity: he's one of the three major shareholders behind the county gas company," Hu Hao said slowly.

This identity is much more powerful than that of the seedling company manager. Yu Yang also knows that anyone who can get involved in water, electricity and gas in the county town is not simple. However, he still doesn't understand why Fang Qingye came to the lakeside.
Sightseeing? Taking photos?

Even more impossible. He's a local. What would he be doing next to this stinky reservoir?
The tripod was too far away to see clearly, but it looked a lot like a total station commonly used in surveying.

"Mr. Hu, does he also want to develop real estate here?" Yu Yang suddenly realized something and looked shocked.

Hu Hao remained silent, watching the three people by the lake.

"Go, go."

The car started slowly, and the three people quickly disappeared from sight.

Hu Hao had a bad feeling; it was very likely that what Yu Yang said was true.

I didn't expect someone to have their eye on this stinking reservoir. They have good taste.

snort.
Hu Hao and his companion arrived at the government compound and met He Xiaoqi, the current director of the Development and Reform Bureau, on the third floor.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen. What brings you here today?" He Xiaoqi greeted them warmly.

"Director He, have you reported this to County Head Lu?" Hu Hao asked. "Yes, I have. County Head Lu is very welcoming of the Country Garden Group's development of the Nanxin Lake Scenic Area and hopes to see your planning proposal soon. By the way, when will your Jiangsu Province regional company's General Manager Wu come to Nanxin? Our County Head Lu would like to have a chat with your General Manager Wu in person."

See Mr. Wu?
I haven't even returned to Jinghai yet, and the planning document isn't even a fraction of what it seems. How dare I report to the provincial company?
I've been having so much fun in Nanxin these past few days that I don't even want to go back home.

Of course, he couldn't say these things. He smiled and said, "We have already reported to the provincial company and are working hard to prepare the planning scheme. Once it is completed, we will report to the provincial company. Our General Manager Wu also attaches great importance to this project."

"Okay, okay, we hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible."

After exchanging a few more business words, Hu Hao abruptly changed the subject and asked, "Director He, do you know Fang Qingye, the manager of your county's Four Seasons Nursery and Flower Company?"

"Him?" He Xiaoqi chuckled. "I'm not very familiar with him, but I am familiar with his second uncle, who is the director of our county's finance bureau. Mr. Hu, is there something you need that brings him up?"

"Today, on my way to the government compound, I passed by Nanxin Lake and saw Fang Qingye and two other people surveying something by the lake. Could it be that he also wants to develop Nanxin Lake?"

"Really? We've only had formal contact with your Country Garden regarding the development of Nanxin Lake; I haven't heard of any others." He Xiaoqi expressed skepticism: "Besides, developing Nanxin Lake, including the surrounding real estate, requires qualifications. Does Fang Qingye Nursery and Flower Company have those qualifications?"

Hearing He Xiaoqi's words, Hu Hao felt slightly relieved.

In any case, having a unique business is definitely better than having competition.

He Xiaoqi felt somewhat unhappy.

Country Garden is a large enterprise, and it has a big ego.

We invited your General Manager Wu to meet with our county leaders in Nanxin, and he made all sorts of excuses. You want to do business but you're putting on airs?!

But yes.

Of the dozen or so real estate developers in the county, how come none of them have the ambition of Country Garden?

They invested in and built Nanxinhu Park, thereby driving up property prices in the surrounding area!
After chatting for a while, Hu Hao said goodbye to his assistant and left. This time, he didn't go to the Grand World to party all night. Instead, he quickly returned to Jinghai to report to Manager Zhang of the branch office and find someone to make a planning document.

He knew that the provincial company attached great importance to the Nanxin project, and if the project failed because of his own problems, he would be in deep trouble.

After Hu Hao left, He Xiaoqi drank his tea and thought about his conversation with Hu Hao. He suddenly felt that it was necessary to find out what Fang Qingye was doing by the lake in the cold weather.
Do they really have designs on Nanxinhu?

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

It wasn't a call to Fang Qingye, but to his second uncle, Fang Jianhua.

Both of them had been Party Secretaries of large towns and often met at meetings. Fang Jianhua went to the city to become the Finance Bureau Director, and Fang Jianhua returned to become the Development and Reform Bureau Director. Although they were somewhat in competition, the two had a good personal relationship.

The call was quickly connected, and He Xiaoqi got straight to the point: "Director Fang, what has your nephew, Fang Qingye, been up to lately?"

"What can this kid be busy with?" Fang Jianhua laughed and scolded, "Although he is the manager of Siji Nursery Company, my dad is actually in charge. All he does is go fishing or run to Shanghai and Beijing. He doesn't know he has so many friends. Director He, why are you asking this?"

"Someone saw him and two others conducting a survey by Nanxin Lake this afternoon," He Xiaoqi briefly recounted the story of Hu Hao coming to see him earlier that day.

"Director Fang, is your nephew planning to get into real estate development?"
