214 Great Contribution; Envy!
At this moment, Lin Fan was eating prawns, and it was not convenient for him to answer the call.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number.
Therefore, he pressed the speaker button.
“Hello, is this Mr. Lin?” A respectful voice came from the phone.
Lin Fan replied casually, “It’s me. Who are you?”
“Hello, Mr. Lin. I’m the chairman of Shunshun Express Company, Wang Xiaodong,” Wang Xiaodong said even more respectfully.
When Lin Fan heard that, he was not too surprised.
After all, he had already obtained 51% of Shunshun Express’ shares today. It was normal for the chairman to call.
“Oh, Chairman Wang, what’s the matter?” Lin Fan asked.
“Over the years, our Shunshun Express has developed rapidly, but we’re also facing many problems…
“In order to better serve the public and thus occupy more market share, after many discussions and analysis, we, Shunshun Express, unanimously want to invest 50 billion to build an international logistics airport in the central region. Mr. Lin, what do you think?” Wang Xiaodong said carefully.
After all, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in the company. He had to get his approval for such an important matter.
Wang Xiaodong did not know Lin Fan well, so he was nervous.
Lin Fan’s eyes moved slightly. “You guys have a good idea! By the way, have you decided on the location of the logistics airport?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaodong heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the major shareholder agreed, that was good news!
“It’s still under investigation,” Wang Xiaodong said.
“Mr. Lin, do you have any recommendations?”
“Jiang province’s Qing City!” Lin Fan said.
“Qing City is located in the middle. Regardless of location, price, or transportation… All of them have good advantages, and it’s my hometown. What do you think?”
The biggest shareholder had already said so.
How could Wang Xiaodong say no?
Moreover, he had indeed considered Qing City.
It was indeed a good place.
“Mr. Lin is right!” Wang Xiaodong said immediately. “Qing City is very suitable for an international logistics airport! Then we’ll set up the logistics airport in Qing City!”
Silence!
The entire private room was silent!
Logistics airport?
Moreover, it was an international logistics airport with an investment of 50 billion yuan. Was it confirmed just like that?
This…
This was simply like a dream!
“Mr. Lin, I’ll contact the leaders of Qing City later,” Wang Weidong said.
Lin Fan said, “No need. Leader Zhao of Qing City is beside me. You can talk to him directly.”
At this moment, Zhao Jiaqi finally reacted. He could not help but say in an excited voice, “Chairman Wang, I’m Zhao Jiaqi, the leader of Qing City.
“Here, on behalf of Qing City, I can assure you that we’ll definitely use the greatest sincerity and the most favorable conditions so that Shunshun Express can smoothly build its international logistics airport here in Qing City.”
Wang Xiaodong was also stunned.
He did not expect the leader of Qing City to be there.
However, when Wang Xiaodong thought about how Lin Fan had easily bought 51% of his company’s shares, he felt a little relieved.
After all, it was normal for such a powerful person to be acquainted with leaders.
“Thank you, Leader Zhao,” Wang Xiaodong said. “I’ll bring a professional team to Qing City to investigate and decide on the specifics.”
“Good, good!” Zhao Jiaqi said happily. “I look forward to the arrival of Chairman Wang and the experts!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiaqi’s entire face was flushed red.
He looked as if he had just drunk a large bottle of wine.
It was no wonder.
Qing City was only a small fourth-tier city. There were not many big projects worth more than one billion yuan in the entire city.
What about today?
Today, they had one 500 million project, three billion-dollar projects, and even a 50 billion-dollar international logistics airport!
How many economic benefits would this bring to Qing City?
How many jobs would this create?
In fact, not only was Zhao Jiaqi happy, but Liu Qingping, Zhang Zhou, Li Wannian, Wang Fengyi, and the others were all very happy as well.
This was because Shunshun Express’ international logistics airport being in Qing City would also be of some help to them.
At the same time, they had a deeper understanding of Lin Fan’s power.
A single sentence was enough to decide the matter of the logistics airport!
Shunshun Express was probably one of Lin Fan’s businesses!
Lin Fan said, “Oh right, Brother Zhao, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Huang De. He works at Hushui Street.
“He’s the reason why so many big companies have decided to invest in Qing City!
“Brother Zhao, don’t forget to reward him according to his merits!”
How could Zhao Jiaqi not understand that Lin Fan was not someone who belonged to the system? He did not need these merits.
He wanted to give all the credit to Huang De.
“We’ll never forget anyone who has made contributions!
“Huang De, you’re not bad! You’ve won so many big projects for Qing City. After this, I’ll report it to the higher authorities for you and let the whole city learn from you.
“You’re overqualified to work in Hushui Street. Huang De, get ready… You’ll shoulder heavy responsibilities after this!”
Song Wenwu, the captain of the Finance Department, looked at Huang De with envy.
Although Song Wenwu had guessed that this dinner would result in hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment, he was still not sure how it was going to happen.
He had never thought that it would be a library worth more than 500 million yuan, a hotel worth more than one billion yuan, a warehouse hub worth more than one billion yuan, a medicine plantation base worth more than one billion yuan, and an international logistics airport worth more than 50 billion yuan!
Any one of them was enough to be considered a great contribution!
Adding all of them together, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a great contribution!
All the credit belonged to Huang De!
Huang De’s future was absolutely limitless!
The reason for this was that Huang De had a good friend—Lin Fan!
Then, Zhao Jiaqi raised his wine glass and said, “Huang De, let me toast you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
Huang De was still shocked that Lin Fan and Zhao Jiaqi wanted to give him the credit. He could not extricate himself.
As a result, Zhao Jiaqi did not react in time when he toasted him.
Lin Fan smiled and patted Huang De’s shoulder, “Brother Zhao is toasting you. Why are you still sitting there like a fool?”
“Ah… Ah… T-Thank you, Leader Zhao…” Only then did Huang De react. He picked up the bottle excitedly and poured himself a full glass of wine. Then, he poured it directly into his mouth.
“Good! Hahaha!” Zhao Jiaqi said happily.
The meal lasted for nearly three hours before it slowly came to an end.
Everyone, including Zhao Jiaqi, reeked of alcohol. They swayed and almost fell to the ground.
Of course, Lin Fan, who had Drinking Gentleman, was an exception. After he sent everyone to the car, he walked leisurely on the winding road alone.
