With Deputy Governor Shen Ningming's personal congratulations, Pei Bai's birthday banquet was extremely honorable.
In addition to Shen Ningming coming over, there was another guest invited to the main table. This was the second person Xiao Qi also knew, a bald middle-aged man.
His name is Yao Pingyuan, the deputy director of Xiangshui Satellite TV, a very famous figure.
Although Pei Bai and the others don't know Yao Pingyuan, they watch Xiangshui TV every day. If such a person comes over, there is no reason to sit down.
With these two people at the table, Zhu Maofu and the white-haired old man Secretary Tian Tingxin naturally had no way to sit at the head table. Except for Pei Bai and Bai Dezhen, they were the most virtuous and respected old people in the village.
When it was time to eat, Pei Bai said a few words with great enthusiasm, and the birthday banquet officially began.
On one side, there is a troupe of gongs and drums, singing and beating, on the other side, there is a lively chicken, duck, fish, mountain delicacies, constantly served on the table, and there are more than one bottle of mid-range wine for drunkards to drink freely, in the countryside. The common people, no matter men, women, old or young, all ate happily and were very happy.
Xiao Qi had seen such a birthday banquet in his hometown before, but this was the first time for it to be of such a large scale. Even the Japanese aunties watched it with gusto.
It was such a joyful birthday banquet that the crowd gradually dispersed until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Because the host family was rich, whatever was left from the lunch meal was packed home by the eldest daughter-in-law and eaten in the next two days. The birthday banquet in the evening was all on a brand new table, which looked very generous and generous.
The old man has never been in such a good mood as he is today. When he was happy, he inevitably drank a few more drinks and was helped into the house by his two sons and fell asleep.
Shen Ningming and Yao Pingyuan didn't leave even after eating. Originally, Pei Rentian and Pei Renshan wanted to entertain them, but Pei Mingfang knew who they were here for, so he greeted them by placing fruits and tea in the main room. He left with everyone else, including Zhu Maofu who eagerly wanted to stay.
Zhu Maofu didn't dare to complain, because Shen Ningming had no intention of keeping him. Even Shen Ningming's secretary and entourage left in a polite manner, so who was he?
At the same time, Zhu Maofu didn't think too much. He thought that Shen Ningming wanted to finalize the donation and investment in road construction as soon as possible, so he talked to Xiao Qi, the rich second generation, alone.
As soon as the others walked away, Yao Pingyuan's smile became even brighter, "Qi Shao, I never thought we could become fellow villagers... I was born in Xiangxi City, and you are also our son-in-law in Xiangxi City."
The scope of what he was talking about was too broad. But isn't that how friendships between people are brought together?
Yao Pingyuan was serious when others were around just now, but now that there are no others around, his attitude is naturally very low-key.
"Haha, I haven't thanked you both properly. You came to support my grandpa today. This is a great honor." Xiao Qi smiled and raised his hand, "But thinking about you, Uncle Shen, who is so busy, You came all the way to this poor ravine. Surely it’s not just for a road worth 300 to 400 million yuan, right?”
"You, when can you pretend to be confused?" Shen Ningming laughed dumbly and did not hide it, "Yes, I came here today to ask you about Disneyland."
"Disneyland?" Xiao Qi looked surprised, "What? Xiangshui also means this? You guys are really ambitious!"
"Why are you teasing us here?" Shen Ningming naturally would not show off as a provincial governor in front of Xiao Qi, "Although Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have huge competitive strength, our Changsha City is not bad! In fact, you I think the long yarn is not good enough, we also have Dongting Lake. It is built next to Dongting Lake, how does it look like a fairy tale?"
"Yeah, besides, what's wrong with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen? They are born to get the best things? They have to start from reality!" Yao Ping is far from being a serious government figure. He belongs to the radio and television system. He said, not so politely, "The capital is not suitable in the first place. They are short of water! How much water can Disneyland use in a year? More than ten or a hundred golf courses, right? They have been clamoring for a south-to-north water diversion. , how can it be okay to add such a burden now?
Nanwan and Guangdong are also very inappropriate! Next to this is Hong Kong. Why, do you want to wipe out Hong Kong? In that case, Hong Kong people will be even more dissatisfied. Hong Kong’s economy is not good in the first place. Tourism has become a pillar industry. If Hong Kong's tourism economy continues to decline, will this be useful for unity and stability?
So apart from Chengdu, the East is more qualified! One of the remaining two places must be in central China, right? And our central region, Xiangshui, northern Hunan, western Hunan, southern Fujian, Central Plains, Yanzhao... which one Dare we say that this place is better than Xiangshui and better than Changsha? We have the strongest resources, the strongest entertainment operation experience, the greatest support for Fairy Company, and the deepest friendship! Qishao, this Disneyland is a natural place. It’s just prepared to take root in Changsha!”
Listening to Yao Pingyuan's tirade, Xiao Qi's expression did not change, and he just smiled lightly, "Director Yao, did you say that you are a cross talk actor?"
"Ah?" Yao Pingyuan was speaking impassionedly, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to say such a thing. It took him a while to realize that Xiao Qi was joking.
"Uncle Shen is my father's friend, and Director Yao and my Xiao Wu are also partners, so we are not outsiders." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "So I can also explain to you that there is a Disneyland that decided to build a Disneyland in We want to settle down in central China, but our priority is not the Xiangshui River, but Wuhan in northern Hunan."
"Why?" Shen Ningming frowned.
"Because our ancestors are from northern Hunan, and people from our hometown here and there come here, it is said that everyone pays attention to benefiting the hometown. Our Xiao family has become rich, and we also need to make some contributions to our ancestral home." Xiao Qi's eyes were also confused. Blinking.
The Xiao family did move from Xiangbei to Sichuan, but this happened more than three hundred years ago. Even if there is a branch of the Xiao family there, there has been no contact with it for a long time.
But this can also be used as a cover. After all, the two places that were considered before were Changsha and Wuhan. However, Xiao Qi finally felt that Changsha was better than Wuhan in terms of popularity, development potential and other advantages. Han was better, so I decided on Wu Han.
However, apart from telling his father about this matter, few people knew about Xiao Qi's decision.
yes.
Disneyland is planning to settle in Changsha, but if the sincerity of Xiangshui River is not enough, then Wuhan, the transportation hub of the thoroughfare of nine provinces, is not in vain, and it can completely replace Changsha.
"Wuhan was indeed the thoroughfare of nine provinces in ancient times, but in modern times. In the 21st century, how can it be compared with Changsha?" Yao Pingyuan suddenly became anxious, "In the past, you said that water transportation needs to pass through the Yangtze River, Han River, and land.
Carriages, etc. must go through Wuhan, but now there is no need. We have trains and planes... This airport in Changsha is not only the second base of Qiwen Airlines, but also has shares in Qiwen Airlines. Qishao
You can’t help but support your girlfriend’s industrial development, right?”
Experts from Xiangshui have calculated that if Disneyland is located in Changsha, it can bring at least a 1% increase in the number of people to the airport, and at least a 2% increase in the number of people to the road and railway, which can increase the number of people in Changsha by 2% a year.
Economic consumption growth of more than % is a terrifying figure. Except for behemoths like Disneyland, no other industry can achieve this.
What's more, officials in Xiangshui and Changsha, like officials in other provinces, know how much political and fame effects Disneyland will bring if they are located here. This, in their minds,
, even far exceeding its own economic effect.
Yao Pingyuan shouted with all his strength, which made Shen Ningming feel happy. It seemed that it was right to bring him here, at least he would not suffer any loss in words.
Facing the deputy director of a TV station who often dominates meetings, Xiao Qi could only say calmly: "The conditions here in Changsha should be good in the central region, but you also know that what determines all this is not so
Simple. Even I can't jump to conclusions easily, otherwise you would be fine, but I would have offended a lot of people."
"What does this have to do with it? It's not like there are no people in our Xiangshui River." Yao Pingyuan patted his chest and said: "For example, the deputy director of the Central Committee, the third person in the Ministry of Transport, and the deputy director of the general office of the government.
, deputy to the CPPCC... They are all very concerned about the Xiangshui economy. When others want to slander you, Mr. Qi, they promise to help."
"Old Yao, it's such a waste if you don't become a salesman!" Xiao Qi shook his head and pondered for a moment: "Then, let me see what Changsha's specific sincerity is!"
Hearing this, not only Yao Pingyuan but also Shen Ningming became energetic.
Although the mayor of Changsha City did not come this time, Shen Ningming had greeted him before coming. Yao Pingyuan was already aware of the conditions in Changsha City, so he opened his mouth and said, "I have heard about the conditions in Rongcheng City."
As for the policy, Changsha is more sincere. We are tax-free for ten years and halved for twenty years! In the early days of opening, you don’t have to worry about huge investments leading to serious losses. At least the taxes can subsidize it.
Then in the area where Disneyland is located, in addition to the land you need, we can allocate an additional acre for you to develop other hotels, restaurants, entertainment and leisure facilities. The land price is 30% off that of the same area. At the same time, we guarantee
There are at least two subways and twelve bus lines, and a special police station has been set up to take charge of public security issues here.
Next is the price of supporting facilities, water and electricity. Based on the treatment of very large foreign investors, it is one-half of ordinary industrial water, electricity and gas. The priority is to ensure the use of electricity, and we will never allow power rationing or power outages.
It falls on Disneyland. It is also expected that a road will lead directly to Disneyland so that more tourists can come and play.
In addition, in terms of bank loans, Xiangshui Construction Bank and ICBC also have discounts... Although you rarely need a loan, we can still provide credit loans of up to 500 million yuan. The ten-year interest rate refers to the national benchmark interest rate.
Basically, it’s a free loan of 500 million for Disney’s turnover.”
Yao Ping is worthy of being a person from the radio and television system, and his words are really well-organized.
In terms of preferential policies, Changsha is indeed very generous in this regard. If it weren't for the fact that the secretary, secretary and mayor of Rongcheng City is Xiao Qi's father, and Rongcheng City is also the headquarters of Fairy Company, just with their
These preferential conditions have completely surpassed those of Chengdu, which can be called a big deal! (To be continued.)
