Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

The next morning.

Meeting Room No. 3 of Jiangcheng County Government.

This was the first time since Gu Changqing took office that he formally put representatives from Xingchen Technology, Jiangcheng Investment, and several relevant county-level organizations on the same meeting table.

Tea had been prepared in advance in the conference room.

On the projection screen directly in front of the long table, there was a prominent title.

[Symposium on the Comprehensive Development of Jiangcheng County New Energy Materials Industrial Park]

Gu Changqing sat in the seat slightly to the right of the main seat.

He was in his forties, thin, wore black-rimmed glasses, spoke gently, and had sharp eyes.

Zhou Mingyuan also came.

However, he did not sit in the very center, but rather in a position slightly to the left of the main seat, with a cup of tea beside him and a calm expression.

Deputy County Head Wang, along with representatives from the Development and Reform Commission, Finance Bureau, Land and Resources Bureau, Investment Promotion Bureau, and the Jiangcheng Industrial Investment Preparatory Group, were all present.

At Xingchen Technology, Lin Wan sat to Chen Mo's right.

Liu Xin also came.

However, he was unusually dressed in a dark suit today, without his gold chain, and his posture was much more restrained than usual.

Liu Ming and Zhang Hai from Deer Technology sat in the back row, holding a thick stack of documents.

On the Shengyuan Group side, Shen Jiashu was leading the team.

Two vice presidents sat beside him: one in charge of industrial park planning and one in charge of finance.

Lin Chengze attended the meeting as a partner and industry consultant of Shengyuan Group in Jiangnan, and was seated on the side.

The atmosphere was fairly harmonious before the meeting began.

Gu Changqing exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile.

"Shengyuan Group is an outstanding new energy supporting and precision manufacturing enterprise in the Jiangnan region."

"This visit to Jiangcheng by General Manager Shen is a recognition of the industrial development of our Jiangcheng County."

"Xingchen Technology and Xingxin Mining have laid a solid industrial foundation for Jiangcheng during this period."

"The county hopes to take this opportunity to combine the resources of outstanding external enterprises, the local resources of Jiangcheng, and the existing industrial chain foundation."

His words affirmed Xingchen Technology while also praising Shengyuan Group.

It mentions both local infrastructure and external resources.

A common tactic.

Zhou Mingyuan, who was sitting to the side, picked up his teacup, gently blew on the tea leaves, and said nothing.

Chen Mo glanced at him, but Zhou Mingyuan seemed oblivious, simply lowering his head to drink his tea.

Chen Mo smiled inwardly.

Secretary Zhou's attitude today is quite interesting.

It seems we'll have to remain on the sidelines and observe.

After Gu Changqing finished his opening remarks, he gestured to the investment promotion team to project their materials onto the big screen.

Soon, a proposal appeared on the screen.

Gu Changqing looked at everyone.

"This is a preliminary idea formed after the county and Shengyuan Group communicated in the early stages."

"Of course, it's just a concept. The reason I'm bringing it up today is to encourage everyone to discuss it fully."

The proposal was beautifully written on the projection screen.

Jiangcheng Industrial Investment, Shengyuan Group, and Xingchen Technology jointly established an industrial park development platform.

Shengyuan Group's initial investment is 1 billion yuan.

Jiangcheng Investment is responsible for land, policy, and infrastructure.

Xingchen Technology is responsible for introducing Xingxin Mining, Deer Technology, and existing industry chain resources.

After its establishment, the platform will be responsible for the development, investment promotion and operation, enterprise introduction and supply chain coordination of the industrial park.

It sounds great; the government has achievements to show for itself, and Shengyuan has projects to complete.

Xingchen has partners, and the industrial park has a development platform.

After Gu Changqing finished his introduction, Shen Jiashu took over the conversation.

"Shengyuan Group is very optimistic about the future development of Jiangcheng."

"In particular, Xingxin Mining, Deer Technology, and the new energy materials industry chain that Jiangcheng County is promoting have shown us the possibility of Jiangcheng upgrading from the resource end to the manufacturing end."

"Shengyuan has mature experience in operating industrial parks in Jiangnan, as well as a number of long-term cooperative precision manufacturing and new energy supporting enterprises."

"If we can combine it with the local industrial base in Jiangcheng, I believe that the two sides can form a strong synergy."

At this point, Shen Jiashu looked at Chen Mo.

"Of course, Xingchen Technology is the core of Jiangcheng's new energy materials industry chain."

"The value of future platform companies will be greatly reduced if Star Technology is not involved."

That's a very eloquent statement.

While lifting Xingchen Technology, they also placed Xingchen Technology on the table.

Lin Wan looked down at the documents, her expression calm.

Liu Xin frowned slightly.

He didn't quite understand the intricacies of the conversation.

But he could hear something in it.

Shengyuan wants to integrate Xingchen Technology, Xingxin Mining, and Deer Technology—the companies they've already established—into a new platform.

Moreover, it sounds like this platform will be primarily operated by Shengyuan.

This made Liu Xin instinctively uncomfortable.

Chen Mo didn't rush to speak.

He flipped through the plan in front of him, his finger pausing over a few clauses.

Many people in the conference room were looking at him.

Gu Changqing had a smile on his face.

"President Chen, you are the head of Xingchen Technology. We should hear your opinion on this matter."

Chen Mo closed the materials.

"Then let me ask a few questions first."

Gu Changqing nodded.

"certainly."

Chen Mo looked at Shen Jiashu.

"As Mr. Shen just said, Shengyuan's initial investment is 1 billion yuan."

"Will this 1 billion be paid in cash, or in installments?"

Shen Jiashu was slightly taken aback.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

"The funds will be allocated in phases according to the project schedule."

"The first phase is expected to cost 300 million yuan."

Chen Mo nodded.

"In other words, it's not a one-time cash inflow of one billion."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Shen Jiashu's smile remained unchanged.

"Large-scale industrial park projects are usually invested in phases."

"Reasonable."

Chen Mo continued, "What percentage of equity does Shengyuan hope to hold in the platform company?"

Shen Jiashu glanced at Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing did not speak.

Shen Jiashu said, "The initial plan is that Shengyuan will hold 40% of the shares, Jiangcheng Investment will hold 30% and Xingchen Technology will hold 30%."

Chen Mo smiled.

"Shengyuan's first phase is 300 million yuan, accounting for 40%."

"Jiangcheng Investment Group acquires land, policies, and infrastructure, accounting for 30% of its business."

"Xingchen Technology, by leveraging resources from Xingxin Mining, Deer Technology, and its existing industrial chain, also accounts for 30%."

"Is that what you mean?"

Shen Jiashu understood the implication in his tone, and his expression finally became more serious.

"Mr. Chen, this is just a preliminary idea."

"Of course we can talk."

"Then there's no need to discuss the details."

Chen Mo placed the documents on the table.

The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the conference room.

I'll get straight to the conclusion.

"Sheng Yuan wants to enter Jiangcheng, that's fine."

"If you want to build a factory, that's fine."

"You can also participate in the construction of the industrial park."

"But Star Technology does not accept this proposal."

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually changed.

Gu Changqing's smile faded slightly.

The head of the investment promotion bureau looked down at the documents, pretending not to hear.

The person from the Finance Bureau glanced at the Jiangcheng Industrial Investment Preparatory Group, who was also looking down at the documents.

Deputy County Head Wang held his teacup, his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent.

He looked at Shen Jiashu and continued.

"Your current plan is not an ordinary investment in essence."

"The idea is to use a platform company to integrate Jiangcheng Industrial Investment's land and policies, Xingchen Technology's industrial resources, and Xingxin Mining and Deer Technology's supply chain."

"Then Shengyuan will take the lead with a 40% stake and operational rights."

Chen Mo paused for a moment.

"Mr. Shen, this isn't investment, it's reaping the benefits."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Liu Xin almost couldn't help but slam her hand on the table and cheer.

Gu Changqing's expression was rather unpleasant.

Chen Mo's words were too direct, leaving him no room to maneuver.

"Mr. Chen."

Gu Changqing spoke, his tone remaining gentle.

"When it comes to attracting investment, everyone should be more open-minded."

"Shengyuan Group's willingness to invest real money in Jiangcheng is a good thing for Jiangcheng."

"We can discuss the cooperation model gradually."

Chen Mo looked at him: "County Chief Gu, opening up does not mean relinquishing control."

Gu Changqing frowned slightly.

Chen Mo continued, "Jiangcheng used to lack projects, funds, and an industrial base."

"So anyone is welcome."

"But things are different now."

"Jiangcheng's most valuable assets are not a few industrial plots of land, nor a few newly built roads."

"It is the new energy materials industry chain that has been built up, and the industrial momentum that Xingchen Technology has gradually built up over the past few months."

"These things are not bargaining chips for attracting investment; they are the roots of Jiangcheng."

No one spoke in the meeting room, and no one argued back.

Zhou Mingyuan finally glanced at Chen Mo, as if he had expected Chen Mo to say that.

The smile on Gu Changqing's face completely vanished.

He hasn't been in Jiangcheng for long.

But he knew that Star Technology was important.

They also knew that Chen Mo was young.

No matter how capable a young person is, they should still give the county some face at government investment promotion conferences.

But Chen Mo didn't take the opportunity he offered today.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I understand Mr. Chen's concerns."

"However, Jiangcheng cannot rely on just one company for its development."

"Introducing high-quality external companies is a complement to the industrial ecosystem."

"I completely agree."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Jiangcheng cannot rely solely on Xingchen Technology."

"But we can't just package up and send away our existing core industrial resources in order to bring in external companies."

"Shengyuan wants to use a platform company to take over all of these things at once."

He shook his head.

"impossible."

The three words fell.

The atmosphere in the meeting room turned completely cold.

Shen Jiashu looked at Chen Mo.

His expression was somewhat unpleasant; this young sect leader was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

He slowly closed the document: "I understand Mr. Chen's meaning. So, what method does Xingchen Technology believe Shengyuan Group should use to participate in the Jiangcheng Industrial Park?"

Chen Mo glanced at him.

"Mr. Lin will discuss the specific plan with you."

He handed the message to Lin Wan.

Many people in the conference room subconsciously looked at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan raised her head, her expression calm.

"Star Technology's opinion is very simple."

"First, Shengyuan can independently invest in projects in Jiangcheng, which Xingchen Technology welcomes."

"Second, Shengyuan can participate in the construction of the industrial park, but it cannot be tied to the core resources of Xingxin Mining and Deer Technology."

"Third, supply chain cooperation can be discussed, but it must be addressed on a case-by-case basis."

Her voice was clear.

"in other words."

"Shengyuan can enter Jiangcheng. But it cannot bypass Xingchen Technology and put the industrial chain that Xingchen Technology has already built into a platform led by Shengyuan."

Lin Chengze sat to the side, quietly watching his daughter.

At that moment, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Shen Jiashu remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"I will take Mr. Lin's opinion back to the team for reassessment."

Gu Changqing glanced at Shen Jiashu, then at Chen Mo and Lin Wan, and ultimately did not continue to push forward with the original plan.

He knew that if the situation were pushed down further today, it would only become more ugly.

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent, and the others pretended not to hear.

This indicates that there are also opinions about this plan within the county.

But no one was willing to be the first to stand up for him as the new county head.

"Let's stop here for today."

Gu Changqing spoke slowly.

"Shengyuan Group and Xingchen Technology can continue to work together."

"The county hopes that all parties will adhere to the principle of cooperation and mutual benefit and continue to make Jiangcheng Industrial Park bigger and stronger."

After the polite words were spoken, the conversation ended.

End of the meeting.

The crowd gradually stood up.

Chen Mo didn't linger. He simply nodded to Zhou Mingyuan and then led Lin Wan outside.

outside the hallway.

Shen Jiashu did not leave immediately.

He watched Chen Mo and Lin Wan's departing figures, and after a moment, he turned and walked towards Lin Chengze.

"Uncle Lin."

Lin Chengze stopped in his tracks.

Shen Jiashu's tone remained gentle.

"There might be some misunderstandings in today's situation."

Lin Chengze said, "We can discuss business cooperation slowly; there's no rush."

Shen Jiashu nodded, paused for half a second, and then said, "Regarding Xiaowan and me, do you think we could find some time to sit down and talk about it alone?"

Lin Chengze looked at him.

He had expected this statement long ago.

If it were before, Lin Chengze might have seriously considered it.

But things are different now.

"Xiao Shen."

Lin Chengze spoke gently, but without beating around the bush.

"Work is work, and personal life is personal life. Let's not talk about your relationship with Xiaowan anymore."

Shen Jiashu paused slightly.

Lin Chengze continued, "Xiao Wan already has a boyfriend."

The corridor fell silent for a moment.

Shen Jiashu looked at the young figure in the distance.

"Chen Mo?"

"right."

Lin Chengze nodded.

"Both her mother and I acknowledge it."

Shen Jiashu's smile vanished; he hadn't expected Lin Chengze to be so direct.

He paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"I see."

Lin Chengze patted him on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Shen Jiashu stood at the end of the corridor.

He stared grimly in the direction Chen Mo and Lin Wan had left.
