Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

At 7:00 a.m., in the temporary meeting room of the Nanhu Industrial Zone Management Committee.

Zhao Chongming arrived on time with Zhang Zhe, Mu Yan, and the legal and financial teams.

Li Dakang was already seated in the main seat, with the "Phase I Land Use Planning Map of Nanhu Intelligent Manufacturing Valley" spread out in front of him, looking focused.

When it comes to his own performance, Li Dakang has always been very proactive and positive.

If this project is successful, not only Guangming District, but also the entire Jingzhou City, and even the entire Handong Province, will reap huge returns for the shareholders. Li Dakang has no choice but to take it seriously and even personally lead a team to inspect the project!

"Secretary Li, let me look at the surrounding environment. To be honest, 500 mu is not enough."

Zhao Chongming got straight to the point: "We had a more in-depth discussion last night and hope to reserve 800 mu (approximately 53 hectares) – of which 300 mu (approximately 20 hectares) will be used for future semiconductor plants, software parks and talent apartments."

Li Dakang didn't even lift his eyelids: "Approved. Nanhu is currently wasteland. If you can afford to build it, you can have it all."

"Damn it!" Zhao Chongming laughed. "Secretary Li, you really are a decisive and efficient official!"

This Nanhu Lake is half in Guangming District and half in Linhuang District.

The Dafeng factory was relocated to Linhuang District, while the future super factory will be located in Guangming District.

"Let's do something practical for the people!" Li Dakang smiled and emphasized, "I just spoke with the Jingzhou City Bank—a credit line of 1.5 billion yuan, an annualized interest rate of 4.35%, 10% lower than the central bank's benchmark rate, a three-year term, with interest payments only for the first six months and no principal repayment."

Zhao Chongming felt a sense of relief.

In 2007, corporate loan rates were generally above 6%, with 4.35% already representing the maximum of policy-based preferential rates.

Li Dakang is indeed a kind and honest person.

"Thank you, Secretary Li."

Zhao Chongming stood up and shook hands: "Within three months, the first production line will be operational; within six months, 8000 jobs will be created, and there will be even more jobs afterward. Secretary Li, just you wait and see!"

"I believe you." Li Dakang rarely smiled. "Don't embarrass me at the Standing Committee meeting."

"Don't worry!" Zhao Chongming laughed heartily, "With such strong support from Secretary Li, how could I possibly let you lose face?"

Next, Zhao Chongming took Li Dakang around to inspect the site.

Have a meal, then hold a press conference.

Li Dakang is bragging, Zhao Chongming is bragging.

Successfully concluded!

……

……

The next day, Chongming Group.

As soon as Zhao Chongming returned to his office, Mu Yan rushed in: "Mr. Zhao, there's been a problem at the Jingzhou City Bank..."

"What's the problem?"

"They said the eligibility of the loan applicant needs to be re-examined, requiring proof of overseas funding sources, patent valuation reports, and even NovaOS source code filing." Mu Yan's expression was grave. "This is clearly an attempt to make things difficult."

Zhao Chongming narrowed his eyes: "Who's in charge of this loan?"

"Vice President Ouyang Jing."

Zhao Chongming was taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "Li Dakang's wife?"

"right."

He wanted to dial Li Dakang's number immediately, but his finger hovered over the dial button and then slowly lowered it.

Li Dakang was completely unaware of this matter.

The couple had been sleeping in separate beds for a long time.

Li Dakang probably knows about all the shady things Ouyang Jing has been doing behind his back.

However, Li Dakang probably doesn't know about such a big thing.

He ruined his own investment, and he lost face as a result.

It's highly likely that this old fairy Ouyang Jing is trying to take advantage of the situation to make a quick buck.

"Judging by the time, Cai Chenggong should be arrested soon. After that, Ouyang Jing won't be able to hide anymore. She will divorce and go abroad. Hou Liangping will arrest Ouyang Jing, and the scene of them staring at each other through the car window will be famous!" Zhao Chongming stroked his chin, but in his heart he was planning his next move.

Ask her out.

Zhao Chongming laughed and said, "Tonight, we'll book the best private room at the 'Cloud Top Pavilion' on the top floor of the Jinling Hotel."

As night fell, at the Jinling Hotel.

A crystal chandelier illuminates the European-style dome, and the Yangtze River stretches like a ribbon outside the window. Ouyang Jing is dressed in a Chanel suit, with a Cartier Ballon Bleu bracelet sparkling on her wrist.

"Mr. Zhao is young and promising."

She took a sip of red wine, her smile gentle: "I heard you made a lot of money in Silicon Valley?"

"Minor skirmishes."

Zhao Chongming smiled: "It can't compare to Secretary Li's achievements in Jingzhou."

"Political achievements?" Ouyang Jing chuckled. "Can political achievements put food on the table? President Zhao, you're too naive."

"I'm naive?" Zhao Chongming glanced at Ouyang Jing, muttering to himself, "Stupid woman, you don't actually believe that all your achievements today are the result of your own hard work, do you?"

"Am I naive?" Zhao Chongming chuckled softly. "But I really think Secretary Li is amazing!"

"What does his high-ranking official position get him in return? Even if I want to buy an expensive handbag, Li Dakang can't afford it!" Ouyang Jing shook her head: "Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that..."

Zhao Chongming: "???"

Damn it, you stupid bitch, don't you listen to what you're saying?

You don't actually think you got this vice president position through your own hard work and ability, do you?

You don't actually think that all the flattery around you is because you're charming enough, do you?

If you don't have a husband who's the Party Secretary of a municipal government, you should try it.

The old fairy is causing trouble. Li Dakang is truly fortunate to have a wife like you!

Ouyang Jing put down her wine glass and got straight to the point: "I can grant a loan of 1.5 billion. But there are two conditions: First, a 5% rebate—75 million, in cash, to an overseas account; second, the loan cannot be issued by Jingzhou City Bank, but rather by Shanshui Group."

Zhao Chongming frowned slightly: "Shanshui Group? How much is the interest rate?"

8.5%.

Ouyang Jing parted her red lips slightly, "Moreover, the collateral must be mortgaged under Shanshui's name."

Zhao Chongming almost burst out laughing: "Secretary Li personally promised me 4.35%, and you're doubling that up, and then having the money go through the Shanshui Group too?"

"Secretary Li doesn't understand finance."

Ouyang Jing said indifferently, "All he cares about is GDP and applause. I'm the one who really manages the money."

She leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Mr. Zhao, you want to establish yourself in Handong? Without my approval, no bank will lend you a single penny. You can build your factory, but if you can't buy chips, pay wages, or recruit people—you'll be kicked out of Handong in three months."

Zhao Chongming looked at her quietly, then suddenly smiled.

Damn it, does he really think he's intimidating by acting like that?

Do you know who my father is?

The Vice Governor of Handong Province.

Do you know that, in the manufacturing industry, if I went to any province, the provincial party secretary would be begging me to come with drums and gongs, offering all kinds of policies?

The old fairy is really...

It's outrageous!

He stood up and straightened his suit: "You're right. I do need your support in Handong."

He took out a bank card from his pocket and gently pushed it over: "Seventy-five million. I still need to scrape together some more. There's three million in here; you can spend it however you like!"

A hint of smugness flashed in Ouyang Jing's eyes as she reached out and took the card.

Zhao Chongming smiled and said, "By the way, there are many luxury stores downstairs. Feel free to spend as much as you like. If you're still hungry, just come back and ask me for more!"

Ouyang Jing became increasingly smug.

Zhao Chongming's smile grew increasingly sinister.

You old hag, you think you're so tough!
