Director Wang straightened his suit and gently knocked on the door of the Party Secretary's office.

"Come in." A steady voice came from inside.

Director Wang pushed open the door and walked in. The office was brightly lit, and Li Haitao, the Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents. Next to him sat Governor Chen Wenbin and Vice Governor Ma Hongming, who was in charge of the economy.

The three of them had been in low spirits ever since they returned from the afternoon meeting.

It's a real shame that Li Guchuan, this big fat sheep, didn't leave his wool in Jiangnan Province.

They couldn't help but sigh when they thought about how the province's new energy projects had been unable to attract investment and had come to a standstill.

"Secretary Li, Governor Chen, Vice Governor Ma, there's something urgent I need to report to you immediately." Director Wang's tone was both urgent and excited.

Li Haitao put down his pen, frowned, and asked, "Xiao Wang, what's the rush?"

Seeing Director Wang's flustered demeanor, he feared that some unexpected event might occur, affecting the economic development of Jiangnan Province.

Director Wang quickly stepped forward and handed over the documents in his hand. "Secretary Li, this is the company registration application we received this afternoon. It's a holding company with a registered capital of 30 billion yuan. The registered capital has been fully paid up, and there are no problems."

"A 30 billion controlling stake?" Chen Wenbin was overjoyed upon hearing this figure. "Is it Li Guchuan? But I remember the Li family only prepared 10 billion in funds, right?"

"It's not surnamed Li, it's surnamed Qin." Director Wang shook his head.

"Isn't it the Li family?" Chen Wenbin felt a moment of disappointment, then mentally slapped himself.

What are you disappointed about? They were just worrying about the economic development of Jiangnan Province, and suddenly someone registered a fund that could change the fate of Jiangnan Province.

Isn't this a case of "the baby cries and the milk comes"? It's arrived just in time.

He suddenly remembered the multi-billion yuan project that the neighboring Donghai Province had invested in two years ago, which was now in its final stages.

It's said the returns will reach a staggering 30 billion. If you were to invest that 30 billion, what would the returns be in three to five years?

Chen Wenbin suddenly felt his mouth go dry, because this was not a simple multiple relationship. One hundred billion could boost the economy by three hundred billion. If the two hundred billion investment was successful, the boost to the economy would be much more than six hundred billion, let alone three hundred billion.

Yes, Chen Wenbin only considered the cases that had been successful before.

Li Haitao also realized what this application form represented. He took the document and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more serious his eyes became. In the end, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"With a registered capital of 30 billion yuan, fully paid up, and a business scope covering new energy, high-end manufacturing, public services, and healthcare... the investable projects almost cover the key development areas of our province."

"Who is the company's legal representative? Have you thoroughly investigated their background?" Li Haitao tapped the application form on the table with his index finger and asked in a deep voice.

Director Wang quickly replied, "Secretary Li, the legal representative's information has been verified. He is an ordinary 63-year-old man named Qin Zheng, born in Shangjing City. Forty years ago, his father, Qin Lang, brought him to settle in Jiangnan Province. Shangjing City is helping us check the information of Qin Lang's ancestors, but what can be confirmed is that Qin Lang and Qin Zheng's family have no illegal or irregular records at the moment, and the source of their funds is completely legal, all of which are their own funds."

"An ordinary elderly person?" Li Haitao was taken aback. "30 billion yuan in registered capital, and it's all their own capital."

How can this be considered normal? It sounds completely out of place.

"Secretary Li," Chen Wenbin began, "once this company is established and operational, its economic impact on our province will be immeasurable. We must do our utmost to gain their trust! Ideally, we should be able to get this company to invest most of its funds in our new energy projects."

"In the field of new energy, we can fill the gap in the high-end new energy industry in our province and it is the top priority for development; high-end manufacturing can drive the upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry in our province; and public services and medical and health care can directly improve people's lives."

Ma Hongming, observing the expressions on the other's face, knew it was time to express his opinion, so he echoed it.

"Yes, Secretary Li, Governor Chen is right. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The economy of Jiangnan Province has been showing signs of decline in recent years, while the surrounding provinces are steadily rising. In comparison, how will the Central Committee view Jiangnan Province? The emergence of this company may become the key to a breakthrough in our province's economy."

Li Haitao nodded; he naturally knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Such a suddenly emerging holding company with billions in assets can do more than just boost the economy; it can also change the industrial landscape of Jiangnan Province and even affect people's livelihoods, employment, and other aspects.

If implemented, it could even create a certain siphon effect, attracting some of Donghai's high-end talent to settle in the province.

I thought that after Li Guchuan left Jiangnan Province, we would have to wait for the next opportunity, but unexpectedly, a huge turning point came.

"Director Wang," Li Haitao looked up, his tone urgent, "Immediately establish a special task force to expedite the registration process for this company. Give it the green light from the start, without any delays. Registration must be completed before midnight tonight."

"In addition, verify Qin Zheng's background as soon as possible, making sure it is comprehensive and accurate. Report any information to me immediately."

"Yes, Secretary Li!" Director Wang quickly replied, feeling relieved. He knew that this matter would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

After Director Wang left, the office fell silent.

Chen Wenbin looked at Li Haitao and said, "Secretary Li, who exactly is this Qin Zheng? Three hundred billion yuan in personal funds is not something an ordinary person can come up with. Even Li Guchuan only prepared ten billion yuan."

Li Haitao shook his head: "It's hard to say. It could be a branch of a wealthy family in Beijing, setting up operations in Jiangnan Province; or it could be from a reclusive family that has been keeping a low profile for many years and is now preparing to make its move."

He thought of the Li family, who had also sent people out to inspect the area, except that the other party seemed to prefer the neighboring Donghai Province, and their afternoon flight was to the neighboring province.

"Governor Chen, we must remember that no matter what their background is, as long as their funds are legal and compliant, can drive the development of Jiangnan Province, and can improve the lives of the people, we welcome them."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Ma Hongming, you will take the lead and be responsible for liaising with this company, understanding their specific plans, and fulfilling their needs as much as possible. We must ensure that this company takes root and thrives in Jiangnan Province."

"Yes, Secretary Li, I will definitely do a good job in the coordination." Ma Hongming replied quickly, his face showing excitement.

He knew that if this matter was handled well, it would be a great thing for his political achievements and for the development of Jiangnan Province.

If Chen Wenbin is promoted and transferred, then it will be his turn to sit in the position of provincial governor.

"Also," Li Haitao added, "this matter should be kept confidential for now, and should not be leaked to the outside world to avoid unnecessary confusion. It will be announced to the public after the company registration procedures are completed."

"Understood." Chen Wenbin and Ma Hongming nodded simultaneously.

Many wealthy people in Jiangnan Province are still waiting for tomorrow's headlines, hoping to see the government criticize Mr. Qin for his lack of restraint.

They never dreamed that Qin Zheng's other move had already alarmed the highest levels of the Jiangnan Provincial Government.
