After most of the day's inspection, we found that there weren't many places to walk. The root cause was traffic problems. Even a BMW off-road vehicle with excellent off-road performance couldn't run in some places, so we had to walk slowly.
Along the way, Mr. Mao and others gained a very deep understanding of the local economic development level and living standards.
What impressed them most was that they visited a Miao village. More than 100 households in the village lived in stilt houses built of wood. The roofs were made of branches and leaves. When it was windy or rainy, they had to leak. One family
There is a family of five. There is no family planning policy among ethnic minorities. A couple in their forties and three children. The eldest child is already twenty years old and the youngest is more than ten years old. The whole family only has two pairs of pants, which the father wears.
One is worn in turn, and the other is worn in turn. Whoever goes out among the three brothers wears it.
This incident left a very deep impression on President Mao and others.
That night when we returned to the county hotel, other business owners came to Mr. Mao's room. Mr. Mao simply asked the hotel to open the conference room, had people prepare fruit tea and other things, and simply held a symposium to discuss today's situation.
Jin Jiu first asked, "Mr. Mao, we came here to inspect for your sake. Of course, if appropriate, there is no problem in investing some money to build a tea garden and build a factory. You heard it today, that guy is not even a town leader."
The assistant to the mayor actually asked us to chip in 30 million to build roads for them. Isn’t this a joke? There’s no way this is possible.”
It is indeed for Mr. Mao's sake, otherwise Jin Jiu would have left long ago and would not waste time here.
It is unheard of for a national-level poverty-stricken town to set up barriers to attract investment.
Mr. Mao's mood was even more complicated. He didn't want to say anything more to them, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I have decided to invest in Huilong Town. I will contract 10,000 to 20,000 acres of mountainous land to grow tea, build a factory, and build roads."
The money...if you are not willing, I will find a way to raise it myself. If that doesn't work, I will find a bank loan. All in all, I have decided."
"Mr. Mao, why are you doing this? There are many better places than Huilong Town." Jin Jiu shook his head and said.
Lin Jiaqiu, the owner of Feida Clothing Manufacturing Company, began to think deeply. He knew Mao Feng, the owner of Maofeng Tea Company, and he was a profitless person. It would be foolish to want him to spend money in vain. However, Lin Jiaqiu really wanted to see Mao Feng.
What is so attractive about Huilong Town that makes Mao Feng not hesitate to find a bank loan and meet the conditions proposed by the young assistant to the mayor.
Mao Feng didn't want to say anything and said with a smile, "The assistant to the mayor belongs to the town leaders, and Assistant Yao is talking to us on behalf of the Huilong Town Government. Let's put it this way, I really like the environment of Huilong Town.
It’s very suitable for growing tea there.”
Jin Jiu suddenly remembered the tea beverage mentioned by Assistant Yao. This was a new thing, and it was unknown whether there was a market for it.
That's not how business works. A new product can be decided on in just a few words. It's an international joke, even if there is a technical report from an authoritative organization.
All in all, in everyone's eyes, Mao Feng, who had always been steady and cautious, seemed to have been drugged with ecstasy this time. He was determined to invest and set up a factory in Huilong Town, and he did not hesitate to seek bank loans to fund road construction.
Maofeng Tea Company is ranked among the best in the country. It was founded the earliest, has the fastest development, and is very large in scale. Its annual output value exceeds 100 million and its annual gross profit reaches 20 million. Even so, Maofeng Tea Company wants to
It is also very difficult to come up with 30 million in cash, and we also need to build a factory.
Thinking of this, Jin Jiu couldn't help but said, "Mr. Mao, you have staked the entire Maofeng Company on it. There is no need to take such a big risk, right?"
Mao Feng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, although I am the president of the Ningyu City Chamber of Commerce, I do not recommend that you invest in Huilong Town this time. You all know the situation. The business environment in Huilong Town is very poor. In terms of policies,
It’s not very attractive either. Everyone here has it from all walks of life. To be honest, apart from growing tea in Huilong Town, I don’t think there is hope for other industries.”
He looked around and said, "To be honest with you, the development of Maofeng Tea has encountered a bottleneck. During this time, I have been thinking about ways to break through. Assistant Yao Yuan is right, we must develop derivatives. Yes
Life or death depends on this time."
Everyone looked at each other. They had never heard that Maofeng Tea had encountered a development bottleneck. On the contrary, the export business of Maofeng Tea was very prosperous. The tea produced was exported to Europe. If it were not limited by production capacity, the export volume of Maofeng Tea would be
It can be bigger.
Why did we encounter a bottleneck?
Mao Feng said a few more words, bowed his hands and returned to his room.
Jin Jiu and others stayed for a while, but they couldn't understand Mao Feng's choice. Most of the business owners had decided to return the next day and made it clear that they would not invest in Huilong Town. However, a few business owners still chose to stay and continue to observe.
one time.
Jin Jiu has a relatively close relationship with Mao Feng, and he always feels that Mao Feng's behavior is strange.
He came to find Mao Feng and said bluntly, "Mr. Mao, even if Maofeng Tea has encountered a development bottleneck, it doesn't have to accept such harsh development conditions, right? Last time we went to central Sichuan for inspection, the environment there was better, and the local government
They also gave them a preferential policy of tax exemption for three years and half reduction for five years. The infrastructure has been repaired. If you don’t invest in such good conditions, you have to raise 30 million of your own funds to build roads for them. We haven’t known each other for more than a day or two.
, I always feel that there must be other reasons for this."
Mao Feng motioned for Jin Jiu to sit down and asked his secretary to make tea. Then he sent the long-legged secretary away and motioned for Jin Jiu to drink tea.
Jin Jiu waved his hand and said, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Mao Feng showed a bitter smile, sighed, and said, "Lao Jin, the truth is, I can't help myself, I can't help it."
Sure enough, there is a secret.
Jin Jiu asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Mao Feng said in a deep voice, "You know Southeast Industrial, right?"
Jin Jiu was stunned, "Southeast Industrial, headquartered in Quanzhou? I think everyone doing business along the southeast coast would not know that a large group with assets worth billions has a very wide business scope. Southeast Industrial signed a contract with the Ludao Government
We have signed a cooperation agreement and invested 1 billion Chinese dollars to comprehensively develop tourism on Gulangyu Island. People across the country know this."
"This is Southeast Industrial. Chairman Qi personally called me and asked me to support the investment promotion in Huilong Town." Mao Feng said solemnly.
Jin Jiu asked in surprise, "Mr. Qi Junting, Chairman of Southeast Industrial?"
"Yes, that's him." Mao Feng said firmly.
Jin Jiu was very shocked and could not recover for a long time.
