Chapter 431 [Faith] (Part 1)

After the banquet that night ended, Zhang Yang and Hu Yinru returned to Nanhu Wooden House Villa one after another. After the two entered the door, Hu Yinru sat down on the sofa with Zhang Yang in her arms and said softly: "You're tired, I'll go prepare hot water and take a good shower."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, talk first."

Hu Yinru got up and brought him a cup of coffee.

Zhang Yang took a sip of coffee and said, "There are too many things in my mind these two days, and it's a mess. Today, Jiang Liang's words reminded me, what is the appeal of the new airport project? I haven't even thought about it."

Hu Yinru said: "Are you short of money?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's not a problem with money, it's just that I feel a little confused."

Hu Yinru smiled and said, "You! You must know why you want to run the new airport."

Zhang Yang said: "Everyone knows it."

Hu Yinru said: "After the airport is ready, it will become the largest airport in the northern part of Pinghai. Moreover, the nearby western cities of Beiyuan Province, Jingshan and Chuliang, will all come to this airport. Jiangcheng's regional center advantages will become more and more obvious. This is not only a matter of enhancing the city's image, but also a leap and development of Jiangcheng's economy."

Zhang Yang said: "I understand everything you said, but how can I tell others? Investing in an airport is a great thing with great rewards? These businessmen, entrepreneurs, bankers, no money comes in vain. People take out money just to see the benefits. How can I tell them? The best way is to impress them with benefits, but I can't figure out what benefits their investment will do to them?"

Hu Yinru smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all. A businessman with vision will never miss this opportunity. Jiangcheng's finances will not be difficult forever. If you regard Jiangcheng as a stock, then this stock will have a 100-fold appreciation space in the near future. If you invest in Jiangcheng now, the future returns will inevitably be rich. In the face of a great opportunity of the new airport, businessmen who are looking forward to the front and back are the stupidest. I dare to assert that it won't take too long, and some people will regret missing this opportunity."

Zhang Yang stroked Hu Yinru's hair and said affectionately: "I feel much more comfortable after hearing what you said. It turns out that I don't need to beg others. It turns out that I am holding a treasure pot and it is their loss if others don't invest money in it!"

Princess Hu Yinru smiled and said, "It can be said that by the way, I will help you contact Uncle Zhou to see if he is interested."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Forgive, he is not clean in the background. This matter is too political to let him get involved."

Hu Yinru also knew that there were traps everywhere in the officialdom, and if you were not careful, you might get caught by others. Zhou Yunfan was indeed as Zhang Yang said, his foundation was not clean and he would not be able to guarantee that something would happen in the future if he used his money. As Zhang Yang stayed in the officialdom for a longer time, his political vigilance also increased a lot. The handle was often given to others by himself. This new airport project was the focus of Jiangcheng's attention, and he must be cautious. This not only concerns his future and destiny, but also Du Tianye's political future. It is not careless.

Hu Yinru said: "Don't limit your attention to Jiangcheng when building a new airport. You should look at Pinghai and the whole country, and you can even consider attracting overseas investment. There are many visionary businessmen in this world. With such a piece of cake, they cannot ignore it."

Zhang Yang said: "Watching the sycamore tree without worrying about not attracting the golden phoenix!" As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

The phone call was from He Changan, and he said straight to the point: "Zhang Yang, I am He Changan. I heard that your Jiangcheng is preparing to build a new airport project. I am very interested!"

This phone call is a timely rain for Zhang Yang. He Chang'an has any economic strength. As long as he wants to intervene, no one else needs to intervene, the airport project can be built. Zhang Yang was so happy in his heart, but he said, "Uncle He, you know, the construction of the new airport is a key project of Jiangcheng Municipal Government. I have to discuss this with the city about introducing private capital."

He Changan laughed and said, "Zhang Yang, you probably don't understand my business habits. Before I do anything, I must go through careful investigation and be sure that this matter is feasible before I can do it. I will not hide it from you because of our personal relationship. I have been watching the Jiangcheng New Airport Project for a long time. I also know that you lack start-up capital. It is hard to cook without rice. You are indeed very capable. But no matter how capable you have, you cannot build a new airport out of thin air. I have experience in this regard. Even if you hire a domestic construction company, it is still very good.

It is difficult to ensure that they can complete tasks efficiently and with high quality. Do you know why? I learned about the relevant companies in this bidding. Take Liang Chenglong’s Fengyu Group as an example. Has he experienced in building an airport? Even if he can ensure the quality of construction, can he guarantee to repair the runway without the guidance of professionals? I have advantages in this regard that others do not have. I have funds and will hire a foreign design management team. If you want to complete the construction before July 1, 2017, only I can do it."

He Changan's words fully demonstrated that he had a sufficient understanding of the project of Jiangcheng New Airport. He did not take action easily and had to take action to get the project. This is He Changan's style of doing things.

Zhang Yang said: "I have to ask for instructions on this matter. I don't have a big problem!"

He Changan smiled and said, "Okay, I will go to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning and let's meet and discuss in detail."

Zhang Yang put down the phone and happily picked up Hu Yinru and walked around in place three times.

Hu Yinru smiled and said, "Look at how happy you look, why? The problem has been solved?"

Zhang Yang nodded happily and said, "He Changan wants to take over the project of the new airport, and he will provide all the funds and technologies. Come to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning to have an interview with me."

Hu Yinru said happily: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, Yinru, you are really my mascot!"

Hu Yinru felt indescribable about this guy’s adjective: “How do you speak?”

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's called Panpan of the Asian Games, you are my business!"

Hu Yinru bit her cherry lips and blushed, "You're starting to be a hooligan again, right?"

When people were happy, they were in a good mood. Zhang Daren's mood suddenly became clear because of He Chang'an's call. The next morning, he went to the office building of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and told Du Tianye the good news.

Du Tianye also knows He Changan. He Changan is very famous in the Beijing business circle. This person is not only rich but also has a good relationship with many leaders of central ministries and commissions. Du Tianye has met him several times, through Wen Guoquan and his wife, but he has no deep friendship with He Changan. Du Tianye said: "He does have this strength, but merchants cannot get up early without profit. He must have a goal to invest in new airport projects."

Zhang Yang said: "I hate you the most as a leader. When you have no money, you push everything on me and pass all the pressure on me. Now someone is willing to pay money, and you are looking forward to it and suspect that others have a purpose. These businessmen must want to return their investments. You think they are stupid, and throw the money into Jiangcheng and play with you if you have nothing to do?"

Du Tianye smiled and said, "You guy is very good at temper! The new airport project is a key government project and is of great importance. If done well, it will not only promote the economic development of Jiangcheng and enhance the city's image, but also bring glory to our political achievements. But if it is screwed up, not only you, but I will be in trouble."

Zhang Yang said: "Reform must be bold. If you don't have money to raise funds, you have to take certain risks. If you look at everything, you can't do anything. Secretary Du, I have no other way. He Changan is the best opportunity I have encountered at the moment. If I miss this opportunity, where can I get you the billions?"

Du Tianye also knew that what Zhang Yang said was indeed the truth. He nodded and said, "Let's do this, talk to him first. We will have the right opportunity to arrange for us to meet in the past two days. You must always keep in mind your party principles and never let the interests of the country and the people be harmed."

Zhang Yang heard it loudly: "Okay! I'll bring him and you can talk to him in person."

Du Tianye smiled and said, "You are in charge of specific affairs, and I am responsible for coordinating them. I should not interfere with such small matters."

Zhang Yang said a little depressedly: "Old Du, I feel you have changed."

Du Tianye smiled and said, "Where has changed?"

"You are becoming more and more slippery!"

Du Tianye laughed and said, "Do you know the political name of Slim Head?"

Zhang Yang shook his head.

"That's called maturity!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang decided to arrange for He Chang'an to eat Nanhu farm dishes. He Chang'an had never seen any scenes before. If you invite him to a hotel, look at Jiangcheng, the highest one is just a four-star. That set of dishes is nothing to eat. Invited him to Nanhu, he built a motorized wooden boat, with tables, chairs and benches placed on the boat. After serving the dishes, he drove along the lake to enjoy the scenery of Nanhu and enjoy drinking and tasting dishes.

He Changan expressed his satisfaction with Zhang Yang's arrangement. He Changan brought Chang Lingfeng with him because he was talking about serious things and only tried it out in drinking.

He Changan is dressed in gray Chinese style. He feels very peaceful and casual wherever he goes. It seems that there is not much difference between doing business and practicing martial arts. The highest level will return to nature.

Zhang Yang held the wine glass and said, "Welcome Mr. He to Jiangcheng as a guest!" Zhang Yang respected him as Uncle He in private, but he still called him Mr. He in such a serious occasion.

He Changan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mayor Zhang, for your kindness. I came to Jiangcheng this time not just to be a guest. I am going to take root in Jiangcheng, and at least get an honorary citizen before leaving."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If this negotiation is successful and the new airport is completed, your honorary citizens will be included in me."

He Changan smiled and said, "A word is certain. I have a good memory. Don't forget it."

Zhang Yang nodded.

He Chang'an said: "According to my understanding, to build an airport of this size, the factors that increase prices and building materials are estimated to cost between 1.2 billion and 1.3 billion. Mayor Zhang, how are your current funding preparations?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It went very smoothly, and all sectors of society support us." This sentence is clearly a fat man who is slapped in the face.

He Chang'an said: "Mayor Zhang still regards me as an outsider. We both sit here face to face, so no one will go around. I know that you have borrowed 250 million yuan from five banks in Jiangcheng. This money can be started, but your funding gap is still very large. If you really want to start such a large project, you will start the work in a hasty manner with 250 million yuan in hand. It is obviously a lack of responsibility for the project, because no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. If there is a problem with the capital chain in the middle, the project will face suspension."

Zhang Yang looked at He Chang'an with appreciation. This person was indeed extraordinary. He was indeed well prepared for this time and did not fight a battle without any confidence. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. He, now you understand our situation, but I still know nothing about your situation. Can you tell me what advantages do you have?"

He Chang'an said: "Don't I understand what I explained on the phone? You are short of money and lack relevant management experience, and I have both."

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. He plans to provide assistance to Jiangcheng for free?"

He Changan smiled and said, "You should be clear that I am a businessman, and businessmen take profit first. However, unlike other businessmen, they first consider economic interests. While I consider economic interests, I also consider good social benefits. Of course, I invest in the airport, and of course I am not a vain investment. I am not Lei Feng. I can't do something that sacrifices myself to save others without asking for rewards. I also have my conditions."

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. He, please tell me."

He Chang'an said: "I will operate on the funding issues, but I want to have certain power in airport construction. You don't need to ask about the money when it comes to money use. However, I must have corresponding power in all aspects of the use of materials, the purchase of construction machinery, and the allocation of personnel. I want to participate in the bidding and review team. In other words, I want to join the management of airport construction. This requirement is not excessive. I am the investor, and I deserve such power."

Official Zhang shook his head firmly and decisively and said, "No!"

He Changan said in surprise: "Why can't it?"

Zhang Yang said: "The powers you mentioned fall within my purview. If I agree to your request, it is equivalent to sending my power out with both hands. Do you think I will agree?"

He Changan smiled and said, "You are a person who takes into account the overall situation. I believe you will agree."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "There is no negotiation. If you are willing to invest, we welcome you with both hands. But if you want the right to manage, I will not agree. The Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will not agree. The construction of the new airport is a key project of Jiangcheng City, representing the image of Jiangcheng City's government. Mr. He, you want to seize the government's power. Isn't this a bit too much?"

He Changan sighed and said, "I invested but I have no right to speak. Do you think it's fair to me?"

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. He, there is one thing I have to explain to you that you are not here to argue with me to announce fairness. If you want to invest in a new airport, it proves that you are very optimistic about Jiangcheng's economic prospects. If you are optimistic about Jiangcheng, you must be optimistic about our Jiangcheng Party Committee and Municipal Government, and you must give us full trust. If you invest in Jiangcheng, you will never waste your money."

He Chang'an said: "This is a matter of mutual trust, and you also lack trust in me."

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. He, if you want to understand our social system, according to your logic, if you invest in the construction of a new airport, we will hand over all the management rights of the new airport project to you. Then I advise you to invest in the construction of the municipal government, and then the power of the entire Jiangcheng should be handed over to you."

How could He Chang'an not hear the sarcastic meaning of Zhang Yang's words? He was not angry and laughed out loud. Zhang Yang was more difficult to deal with than he thought. He thought that the funding problem seriously troubled Zhang Yang, but he did not expect that he would not give in to the command of the project. He Chang'an knew that any cooperation would start with bargaining. Now between him and Zhang Yang, he would not give in, because only he can provide the funds that Jiangcheng Government wants. He firmly believed that Zhang Yang would bow to him in the end.

Zhang Daguanren had long understood He Chang'an's methods of doing things. His remarks just now were not because his own interests were jeopardized, but because he considered the aspects of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and he must never sacrifice the interests of the government.

He Chang'an said: "I'm very sorry. In fact, no matter who has the management authority, as long as the new airport is built, will it be the people who benefit from it?"

Zhang Yang said: "It is a people-friendly project for our municipal party committee and government to build an airport. Can Mr. He have the same mentality as us? I don't believe it."

He Changan smiled and said, "Why don't you believe it?"
