Chapter 319 [Big Pen Like Rafters] (Part 2)(2/2)
Andawen said: "First of all, the systems are different. Many Hong Kong people do not have enough confidence in future development, and are worried that the Chinese government may not be able to fulfill its unchanged promise for 50 years. Another thing is that they are afraid of economic impact. Shifting the focus of assets abroad is also a way to avoid risks."
Zhang Yang said: "I think it is not as stable as the mainland, and it is not as safe as the mainland!"
Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "Of course you are a party cadre, but in the eyes of businessmen, the first thing they see is where to put money is the least risky and the most profit possible. As for the system and country, it is a problem that will be considered later."
Zhang Yang was stunned and faintly noticed what Qiao Mengyuan was reminding her, but she couldn't guess what she really meant.
Li Changyu, executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng, specially made an appointment with Andawen. He was for the follow-up development of Qingtaishan. When he first met Andawen, Li Changyu thought this was just a child, but when the conversation officially began, Li Changyu realized how old the young man in front of him was.
Andawen smiled and said, "Mayor Li, we have been in progress in the development of tourism in Qingtaishan, but there are some problems with Anjia's recent operations, so some funds have been delayed."
Li Changyu said: "According to the contract signed at the time, there is currently about 100 million Hong Kong dollars in investment funds. The development of Qingtaishan has actually come to a standstill. If this situation continues, it will cause great losses. This loss is not unilateral, but both of us."
Andawen replied sly: "Any investment will have risks. When my grandfather decided to invest in Qingtaishan, he did not put profit first."
Li Changyu had some disgust with this cunning boy, but it did not appear on the surface. He said calmly: "Can Mr. An give me a clear statement? When will the investment funds you promised be received at the latest?"
Andawen shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it! I have studied the contract in detail, and we have paid the first payment. Now the investment amount for Qingtaishan has exceeded our prior agreement. As for the agreements outside the contract, we don't need to cash out immediately." His words were obviously inappropriate.
Li Changyu said a little displeased: "Mr. An, I believe you must know that you should pay attention to the word "integrity" when doing business. Many subsequent supplementary agreements were signed by Mr. An himself."
Andawen said: "Mayor Li, before you do anything, the first thing you consider is the interests of the entire Jiangcheng and the interests of all Jiangcheng residents. As the chairman of Century Antai, what I want to consider is the interests of the company and the interests of all directors. Are you right?"
Li Changyu said: "Mr. An is reminding me that the investment in Qingtaishan has affected the interests of Century Antai Group?"
Andawen smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Mayor Li, don't worry, I will solve this problem as soon as possible. After all, Chunyang is my hometown, and investing in Qingtaishan is my grandfather's wish."
When Andawen and Li Changyu met, An Yuchen accompanied her throughout the whole process, but she didn't say a word. Andawen is now the chairman of Century Antai. Although he is his younger brother, he is the helmsman of the An family. Outside, she cannot sing opposites with him or let others laugh at him. After experiencing the An family's bloody case, she will understand the importance of uniting her family more. She will not forget what grandpa told her before her death.
The siblings came into the car, and An Yuchen said just now: "Awen, what are your plans for the Qingtaishan matter?"
Andawen smiled indifferently. He slowly took out the cigarette box and took out a cigarette to light it, but An Yuchen snatched it over and stared at him and said, "Say!"
Andawen said: "Sister, the company's situation is not as optimistic as you think. As 97 is approaching, many things cannot be handled as they did in the past. The first thing we should consider is how to make a smooth transition, so I plan to turn the company's focus overseas."
An Yuchen said: "But, don't forget that grandpa's biggest wish during his lifetime was to invest in his hometown and develop Qingtai Mountain. You have promised him!"
Andaven said: "Emotion is emotion, business is business. As a businessman, we cannot let emotions prevail at any time. We must keep a clear mind!"
An Yuchen said: "Awen, Grandpa split the family business into two parts, and I will leave the mainland part to me. You have no right to change his decision!"
Andawen said: "I am the chairman of the company. I must be responsible for An's family. Sister, I will not let you blindly throw money in Chunyang, throw it in a place where you can't see any reward in the short term."
An Yuchen said angrily: "Don't forget that I own the company's shares and are also the person in charge of mainland affairs designated by my grandfather. I asked to hold a board meeting to publicly discuss the investment in Qingtaishan."
Andawen said: "Not only does Qingtaishan, but even all investments in the mainland will slow down. As the chairman of the company, I have the right to decide the direction of future investment!"
When the An siblings quarreled, Zhang Yang was called into the office by Li Changyu. Li Changyu was obviously a little angry. He knocked on the table angrily and said, "This Andawen is obviously a profiteer. How can he go back on his word if he promises?"
Zhang Yang said: "The person who promised to invest in Qingtaishan was An Lao. Now that An Lao has passed away, the head of the An family has been replaced by Andawen. Although this kid is young, he is quite flexible and has a deep scheming. He is known as a business genius."
Li Changyu said: "I don't care whether he is a business genius or not. As long as he fulfills the contract, the investment he promised must be fulfilled. Now the tourism development in Qingtaishan is put on hold there."
Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Li, do you think that now we are overly dependent on these Hong Kong and foreign businesses. As long as they have any problems, it will definitely affect the future development of Jiangcheng. Attracting foreign investment is a good thing, but over-reliance on foreign investment will cause us to passively develop. The matter of settling down is an example."
Li Changyu said: "Reform cannot be developed by shouting slogans. It requires real money and money. Relying on state funding alone is definitely not enough. Development and business have many similarities. If we have enough money, who would still think about using external forces?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The problem of tourism development in Qingtaishan cannot be relied on the city alone, right? What does Zhu Heng care about? What did you and Secretary Qin lay a good foundation for him? Qingtaishan tourism development has been signed, and Chunyang Development Zone has also become prosperous, but what did he do after taking office? If he doesn't ask for his contribution, he can't do this, right? Mayor Li, as long as you go to Chunyang Street and take a look, you will hear the voices of the people. Now there are complaints! It's not that I have any objections to him, but no one in Chunyang County says good things about him now."
Li Changyu was also quite helpless. Why did this matter be ripped up and actually touched Zhu Heng. Li Changyu said: "I heard about this matter in the city. Comrade Zhu Heng is indeed a little happy to be successful. However, from a long-term perspective, it is not a great mistake to build roads in Chunyang City. At most, he took a little hurry and took a little big step."
Zhang Yang was very dissatisfied with Li Changyu's words. He knew that Zhu Heng and Li Changyu were old classmates. Li Changyu still took good care of him on weekdays. Zhang Yang said: "A leader only knows how to make political achievements. He just wants Chunyang to become the second county-level city in Jiangcheng."
Li Changyu said: "Don't change the topic. I came to you to talk about Anjia's investment. Why did you tease me up?"
Zhang Yang said: "When it comes to An's investment, I'm a little surprised. As far as I can tell, before An's death, Mr. An divided the business of An's family into two parts, and the mainland part was handed over to An Yuchen and the others were handed over to Andaven. Why is Andaven now the final decision? Don't worry, I'll ask about this matter clearly."
Li Changyu said: "Do you think Andawen wants to go back on his word? Is he going to deny Qingtaishan's investment and development plan?"
What Andawen wanted to deny was not only the investment and development plan of Qingtaishan, but he was not even optimistic about the future of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza. When he and Qiao Mengyuan met for the second time, Andawen proposed to give up part of the development rights.
Andawen's decision surprised Qiao Mengyuan. What was even more surprising was that An Yuchen had always followed up the investment in the mainland. Although she didn't care much about business, the company must nodded first when making these decisions. Andawen was obviously prepared to come to Jiangcheng this time. What made An Yuchen angry was that before that, he had not discussed with his sister.
Qiao Mengyuan said: "Does Mr. An know what your decision means?"
Andawen replied with a smile: "Before doing anything, I have to think clearly. During this period, I have organized a dedicated team to evaluate various investments in the mainland. After comprehensive analysis and valuation, I think it is necessary for mainland investment to slow down."
Qiao Mengyuan was not very interested in the evaluation of An’s family. She has always had great confidence in the project of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza. Otherwise, she would not have tried every means to join the development of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza. She smiled and said, "If Mr. An really decides to sell part of the development rights, I am very puzzled. Everyone has a different vision. I am very optimistic about the prospects of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza."
Andawen smiled and said, "I also admire Miss Qiao's abilities, so I remembered the first person to discuss with Miss Qiao."
Qiao Mengyuan said: "I recently heard a saying that many Hong Kong people have a panic because of the approaching 97th. So they began to choose immigration or property transfer before Hong Kong returns, focusing on investment overseas. Is Mr. An also considering this?
Anda Wen said: "I believe that after Hong Kong returns to the mainland, it will maintain long-term stability and development, and I also believe that the interests of Hong Kong people will not be affected in any way."
Qiao Mengyuan said: "Then why did Mr. An suddenly decide to slow down investment in the mainland and even withdraw his investment?"
Andawen said: "For businessmen, our only principle is to pursue the highest interests. Miss Qiao, if you have a better investment choice and a better way to make profits, if you encounter an opportunity that can be ten times and twenty times greater than the Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza, but your funds are limited, where will you invest the money in your hands?"
Qiao Mengyuan was silent and said after a long time: "I believe in my own vision, and I believe in the future of China's economy more. Mr. An, if you plan to transfer the development rights of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza, I can take over. However, I have a condition. I will not want part of the development rights, I want all!"
Andawen was slightly stunned. He could not have imagined that Qiao Mengyuan, who seemed petite and weak, had such great courage. He nodded and said, "Okay! I can promise you now!"
Qiao Mengyuan smiled and reached out to him: "I will prepare the transfer contract as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about the specific procedures!"
Andawen and Qiao Mengyuan shook hands and said, "Happy cooperation!"
An Yuchen, who had not spoken, said loudly at this time: "I object!"
Andawen and Qiao Mengyuan turned their eyes to her at the same time. An Yuchen's chest was constantly rising and falling due to anger and excitement: "Awen, it was grandfather's decision to invest in Jiangcheng. Now his body is not cold, but you have denied his decision one after another, and I will never agree!"
Andaven said: "Sister! I will explain this to you after going back!"
An Yuchen stood up angrily and said, "What are you explaining? Grandpa gave me the mainland investment business at the time, but if I said no, it would not work!" She got up and slammed the door and left.
Qiao Mengyuan looked at An Yuchen's back and smiled helplessly: "Mr. An, you will talk about this matter later after you have a unified opinion."
Andawen shook his head and said, "No need for unity. I am the chairman of Century Antai. I have the final say in the project of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza!"
Although Zhang Yang is the director of Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office, he is still a layman in terms of finances. Fortunately, there are many experts around him, and Chang Lingfeng is his right-hand assistant. Zhang Yang told Chang Lingfeng about the hinderment of the development of Qingtaishan and asked him to help analyze.
Before Chang Lingfeng could start talking, Qiao Mengyuan came to the investment promotion office. She came to find Zhang Yang about the transfer of development rights of Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza.
This incident was also extremely sudden for Zhang Yang. He never expected Andawen to withdraw his investment when he came to Jiangcheng this time. Zhang Daren said angrily: "What is he doing? Where is my Jiangcheng? If you want to come, you can leave?"
Qiao Mengyuan said: "Director Zhang, you are like a bandit in your tone!"
Chang Lingfeng laughed: "Investing mainly depends on voluntary matters. When Mr. An invested in Jiangcheng, he was optimistic about the development of Jiangcheng. Of course, there are factors that are attached to his hometown and hometown. Andawen was born in Taiwan and went to the United States since he was a child. He received Western education. His feelings for Jiangcheng are definitely not as strong as Mr. An. It can even be said that he has no special feelings for Jiangcheng and Chunyang at all, so it is understandable to make such a decision."
Zhang Yang said: "What do you understand? Should you go back on your word? Can you say nothing? "
Chang Lingfeng said: "I have recently contacted several friends in Hong Kong. As the 97th approaches, there has been a large-scale immigration wave among Hong Kong people. Many people are overly pessimistic about the future development of Hong Kong. Many Hong Kong people believe that transferring their assets overseas can avoid risks and avoid the impact of this change. In fact, their ideas are wrong."
Qiao Mengyuan listened very seriously.
Chang Lingfeng said: "After Hong Kong's return, it is a great thing for both Hong Kong and Hong Kong people. One country, two systems, and Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, our country will not only not interfere too much, but will give the greatest economic support. Whoever seizes the opportunity among Hong Kong businessmen will be able to stand out. The more historical changes come, the more opportunities there will be. Even if Hong Kong has a short-term economic downturn, think about the rear, with such a large market in the mainland and a consumer group of more than one billion, I think its prospects will be bright."
Qiao Mengyuan said: "I have the same view as Director Chang, so I know Andaven wants to withdraw from the Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza, so I immediately decided to take his plate down."
Zhang Yang said: "Century Antai's early investment in Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza has reached 200 million. If you want to take over, you must be prepared."
Qiao Mengyuan said: "I came for this matter. Andawen is a very good person. According to what I know, Anjia's current investment in Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza is only 200 million yuan, including the part of the investment in Nanlin Temple Scenic Area. At first, he proposed a partial transfer, but I insisted on taking it all, but the price he offered me was 500 million yuan!"
