The following morning, in the conference room of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Jingzhou City.

At the end of the long table, three documents were laid out in front of Zhao Dehan:

An official document titled "Approval for the Establishment of Guangmingfeng Urban Renewal Development Co., Ltd."

A blue-covered "Shareholders' Agreement of Guangmingfeng Company".

There was another document—without a letterhead or official seal, printed on A4 paper—titled: "Explanation of the Payment Path for Dafeng Factory Employee Resettlement Funds (For Internal Decision-Making Reference Only)"

Li Dakang sat opposite him.

Looking at these documents, I was quite shocked.

They just asked me for 460 million yesterday, and now they've gotten 400 million from the Shanshui Group?

That's way too fast!

"Secretary Li, take a look. If there are no problems, then you need to have a good talk with the Linhuang District government!" Zhao Dehan pushed the prepared printed copy over.

Li Dakang looked down:

Step 1: Shanshui Group contributed the land at the original site of Dafeng Factory as equity investment (appraised value: RMB 28.6 billion), holding 60% of the equity in Guangmingfeng Company;

Step 2: Guangmingfeng Company signed the "Employee Placement Comprehensive Service Procurement Contract" with the Jingzhou Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. The service period is three years and the initial fee is 400 million yuan.

Step 3: As Guangmingfeng Company has no cash flow at the moment, with the consent of all shareholders, Shanshui Group will provide the company with a short-term loan of 390 million yuan by pledging the future income rights of its equity.

Step 4: After receiving the loan, Guangmingfeng Company immediately pays the first service fee to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau; the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau then distributes resettlement subsidies, social security arrears, and transitional wages to the employees of Dafeng Factory on a monthly basis.

Step 5: This loan will be returned to Shanshui Group in the form of dividends after Guangmingfeng Company obtains the first land transfer fee – at that time, the principal plus interest will be paid in full.

After reading it, Li Dakang looked up and asked, "...So, this 4 million is nominally a loan from Shanshui Group to its subsidiary, which then pays the government?"

"right."

Zhao Dehan nodded: "From beginning to end, Shanshui Group has been making money, and the Guangming Peak project is definitely profitable. Once this CBD is built, it will generate billions or even tens of billions in revenue. They feel this expenditure is very reasonable!"

Li Dakang narrowed his eyes: "They're willing to come up with 400 million?"

Are capitalists really that kind?

Zhao Dehan just smiled.

However, they did not mention that Qi Tongwei was the major shareholder behind the scenes, nor did they mention the vice governor's secret dealings.

Qi Tongwei wants power and is optimistic about the future.

They want money and stability.

The two sides can be considered to have cooperated.

"Whether we like it or not, our pressure has been reduced!" Zhao Dehan smiled slightly. "The Human Resources and Social Security Bureau has received real money and can distribute it immediately; the workers are receiving government subsidies, not handouts from their bosses."

After a long silence, Li Dakang finally reached out and signed his name at the end of the "Reply".

in the afternoon

The door to the meeting room of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Jingzhou City was gently pushed open.

When Gao Xiaoqin walked in, she wasn't wearing a suit, but a dark gray cashmere dress, with a thin gold chain around her neck, from which hung a small landscape badge.

She still looks elegant.

She was indeed the woman who could make Old Master Qi completely infatuated.

Li Dakang looked up: "President Gao."

"Secretary Li."

Gao Xiaoqin smiled, took the initiative to shake hands with Li Dakang, and then shook hands with Zhao Dehan: "Shanshui Group, here to fulfill the contract."

Zhao Dehan smiled and said calmly, "Shanshui Group has made indelible contributions to social development and progress, and should be credited with this achievement!"

Gao Xiaoqin simply smiled and said, "Governor Zhao, you flatter me. Our Shanshui Group also wants to fulfill its social responsibility!"

Li Dakang looked at her and suddenly asked, "President Gao, what procedures did Shanshui Group follow internally for this agreement?"

Gao Xiaoqin looked up, her smile undiminished: "The board of directors unanimously approved it. The original resolution has been submitted to the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission for record-keeping."

Zhao Dehan casually handed the pen to Gao Xiaoqin.

Gao Xiaoqin took a deep breath, opened the agreement, paused for two seconds on the page about "shareholders' capital contribution methods," and then turned to the last page.

The pen tip hovered above the "Signature of Legal Representative" column, paused—

Then, I put pen to paper.

The ink flowed smoothly, and the characters were slender and powerful.

Zhao Dehan laughed and slowly said, "President Gao, you've solved a huge problem for our government!"

Gao Xiaoqin blinked: "This is what we should do!"

That afternoon, a press release popped up on the homepage of the Jingzhou Municipal Government website, with the title in bold and centered:

Our city launches Guangming Peak urban renewal pilot project; Shanshui Group actively participates in state-owned enterprise reform.

The main text is only three hundred words, but every word is as sharp as a nail:

"In order to steadily promote the coordinated development of the resettlement of employees of Dafeng Factory and industrial upgrading, Jingzhou City has decided to establish Guangmingfeng Urban Renewal Development Co., Ltd. to explore a new model of 'government guidance, market operation, state-owned enterprise leadership, and social participation'."

"Shanshui Group, as a strategic investor, contributed the land at the original site of the Dafeng Factory as equity, and assumed responsibility for the initial investment and comprehensive service procurement of the project... The company will initially provide resettlement subsidies, social security contributions, and transitional wages to the employees of the Dafeng Factory to ensure that 'people are relocated, factories are moved, rights are not damaged, and livelihoods continue'..."

The sky cleared after the snow.

Outside the iron gate of the former Dafeng Factory site, reporters' microphones were clustered together.

Zhao Dehan stood on the half-broken wall, with bulldozers, sheet metal fences, and a few lonely chimneys behind him.

He wasn't wearing a tie, the second button on his Zhongshan suit was undone, and there was a bit of mud on his cuffs—he looked as if he had just come back from a construction site.

The flash went off with a "pop".

A female reporter squeezed to the front, her microphone almost touching his chin: "Governor Zhao! Is it true that the Shanshui Group has invested 4 million yuan to resolve the Dafeng Factory problem?"

Zhao Dehan smiled and said, "It's not true that Shanshui Group invested 4 million; the investment came from the government. Shanshui Group only partnered with the government to establish Guangmingfeng Group. This involves trade secrets, so I can't say!"

They skillfully avoided the trap.

The rumors still got out.

If the outside world knew that Shanshui Group had put up 400 million yuan, how would other investors dare to come?

Isn't this government extortion and blackmail?

That's something Zhao Dehan would never dare to admit, even if you beat him to death.

Speaking it out would damage the business environment.

However, even so, the rumors still spread, and many businesses were still filled with anxiety.

Reporters naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Zhao Dehan had no way to respond to that, nor could he.

"Today, I need to announce the location of the new factory."

Zhao Dehan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried the weight of the wind: "Nanhu Industrial Zone, at the border of Guangming District and Linhuang District. Three hundred acres of land, enough to build twelve standard factory buildings and six workers' dormitories. In addition, this morning, the western extension of Metro Line 7 was approved. Within three years, it will take twenty minutes by subway from Guangming District to the Linhuang District government; and thirty-five minutes to the city center."

"But where will the money come from?" another reporter pressed. "Worker resettlement costs, new factory construction costs..."

"Market-driven, government-guided."

Zhao Dehua spoke quickly and calmly: "The government will bear the initial investment, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau will issue resettlement subsidies monthly, and the Linhuang District will provide supporting infrastructure—our government speaks for the people. The Guangmingfeng project will continue to move forward, and we will absolutely not allow the people, the former workers of Dafeng Factory, to suffer any injustice!!"
