Chapter 898 - 898: Hot Potato
To be honest, this time Lin Hao didn't bring He Ligang over, which made him very unhappy.
Seeing Lin Hao bring back the agreement now, he was even angrier.
After everyone finished reading it, they unanimously praised County Magistrate Lin with commercial compliments, and took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Aiyadi Group will arrange people to come over to connect with the project as soon as possible, but Chairman Ai means that he wants us to help him fight for some funding related to new energy vehicles from the province..."
Lin Hao didn't hide it and spoke about it openly.
Li Jingyi smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "Chairman Ai's request is not too excessive, so we definitely need to send someone to the province to settle this matter. I have already handed over this task to County Magistrate Lin, letting him figure out a way in the province."
"Secretary Li, I have connections in the province, how about I give it a try?" He Ligang stood out again.
"You give it a try?" Li Jingyi glanced at Lin Hao.
This kid is trying to take both major projects into his own hands!
Lin Hao frowned slightly, not because he didn't want to yield the project, but because he had already agreed with Chairman Ai to go to the province together.
The problem now is if He Ligang jumps out to stir things up and offends Ai Xuejun, this project might fall through.
"Vice County Magistrate He, let's do this, since you have connections in the province, you can give it a try, but I can only give you one week." Lin Hao said in a deep voice.
"One week is enough, I can settle it in three days."
He Ligang felt that his second uncle in the province could still speak up, so solving this funding issue shouldn't be difficult.
However, he still underestimated the complexity of the matter.
"All right, then I'll give you three days. If you handle this matter well, you will be allowed to join the new energy vehicle project in the future." Lin Hao promised loudly.
"Thank you, County Magistrate Lin, I will definitely try my best." He Ligang was overjoyed.
"Alright, let's move on to the next agenda item."
Li Jingyi loudly shifted the topic, saying, "Due to the rapid economic development of our county, and the upcoming launch of the new energy vehicle project, County Magistrate Lin has proposed constructing a new industrial park..."
Unsurprisingly, the proposal for a new industrial park received unanimous approval from everyone.
After this Standing Committee meeting ended, Vice County Magistrate He quickly took action.
After all, now he was involved in both of the biggest projects, just testing his capabilities.
Lin Hao wasn't worried at all, as both projects were hot potatoes. If he didn't have strong financial support behind him, he wouldn't be able to manage such large projects.
Now his task is to start drafting the planning proposal for the new industrial park, which includes choosing the location, size, environmental aspects, and investment funds.
Lin Hao didn't delegate the task to others, because these plans were in his mind, and only he could complete them.
After the meeting ended, He Ligang immediately called his second uncle in the province, hoping to get help in securing funding for the new energy vehicle project.
His second uncle was the head of the province's Forestry Department, considered a person with real authority.
Therefore, in his view, this matter should be easily handled, but his second uncle just said he would inquire first, without any great confidence.
This made He Ligang completely panic.
After all, he had just boasted in front of so many people about having connections, and if he couldn't get it done, it would be humiliating.
The worst part is, where could he find thirty million to advance the land demolition payment?
At this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and personally visit major banks' directors to see if he could borrow money from them.
Unfortunately, news about He Ligang wanting to claim credit for County Magistrate Lin somehow got out.
The directors of several banks didn't respond to this acting Vice County Magistrate, making him run around all day without borrowing a cent.
...
After lunch, Lin Hao unexpectedly received a call from Tang Shiying.
"County Magistrate Lin, it's Tang Shiying."
"Yingying? What made you think of calling me?"
Lin Hao couldn't help but recall the hot-blooded scene of pointing the finger at the girl a few days ago, his heart instantly burning.
"Lin, Yuanyuan and I will come to see you tomorrow." Tang Shiying said loudly.
"Great, do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?" Lin Hao was overjoyed.
On the other end, Zhang Yuanyuan's voice came through, saying, "Lin, I've established a real estate development company, and want to visit tomorrow to look at the new city project you mentioned."
"The land demolition work here is progressing, and the land auction is underway, estimating another ten-plus days…"
"My suggestion is still to bring in investments through attracting business, and then I can offer you some policy benefits…"
Lin Hao gave the approximate situation to the beauties.
"I'll leave everything to you, whatever you say, we'll do." Zhang Yuanyuan readily agreed.
This little sister, ever since she devoted herself last time, had already considered him her husband.
So, nominally she was making the decisions, but Lin Hao was directing from behind.
"Oh, Yingying said her Tang Family wants to get into real estate too, do you think that's feasible?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked.
Lin Hao felt embarrassed to refuse and could only agree, "If they want to enter real estate, why not invest in your company, then you can let them have some shares."
"Okay, then how much equity should I give them?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked.
"Let's do this: when you come over tomorrow, we can discuss this matter in detail, how about that?"
Lin Hao felt such a big matter still needed to be handled cautiously, not hastily.
After all, he didn't know much about the Tang Group, only that they were doing real estate business.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then." Zhang Yuanyuan finished speaking and hung up the phone.
She looked at her friend Tang Shiying, smiling, and asked, "Yingying, how many shares are you looking for?"
"If it's dad and brother, they naturally hope for as many as possible, but I think thirty percent is sufficient."
Tang Shiying didn't hold back and straightforwardly voiced her demand.
"I can't make the decision on this, let's discuss it together when we meet Lin tomorrow."
"Sure, but you have to help me fight for it, got it?" Tang Shiying pressed forward and grabbed her arm.
Zhang Yuanyuan patted her little hand and assured her, "I understand, don't worry, Lin won't treat you unfairly."
"Who knows? I don't care how he is anyway. You're mine, you must help me." Tang Shiying smiled mischievously.
"What do you mean yours? I'm Lin's girl!" Zhang Yuanyuan teased.
"You're his girl? Have you two already…" Tang Shiying revealed a knowingly playful smile.
"Yes, just last time when he came over, we drank a little and got together." Zhang Yuanyuan didn't hide anything from Tang Shiying.
Actually, her friend already knew they were together and even secretly eavesdropped, getting caught red-handed by Lin Hao.
