Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 21 Attracting Investment

The Beijing 212 off-road jeep in the village is almost fifteen years old.

After exiting the alley, the car, with a pile of mud on its butt, swayed and drove onto the provincial road.

Yu Yang played King of Fighters all night last night, defeating more than 80 strong men and was unbeatable. Now he really wants to take a nap.

But when someone asks us for help, we must always do our best to fulfill our responsibilities.

As for attracting investment.

In his opinion, this is nothing more than attracting people to do business on his own territory.

It was like Lao Yu from another time and space who went into real estate development. In order to attract popularity, he built a CBD and then lobbied companies to move in.

We will offer a certain number of years of free rent, help pay taxes for a certain number of years, and provide a certain amount of subsidies based on the number of customers. If anything goes wrong, I will help you resolve it.

When it comes to the township's investment promotion, it means providing land for building a factory, reducing or exempting taxes for a certain number of years, creating a certain amount of jobs and providing financial support. If there are any problems, the township will cover the cost for you.

Yu Yang became unhappy when he thought of this.

"By the way, I also run a company, why didn't you hire me?"

The village head was slightly stunned. "You are a local enterprise, why should I hire you?"

“There has to be some tax exemption, right?”

“Have you ever paid your taxes?”

"Uh, the leader is smoking..."

The village head lit up a Huaxia cigarette, took a deep breath, and consoled him, "Don't worry, the village has urged higher authorities to get all the documents for Sanyuan Agriculture as soon as possible. When the time comes, there will definitely be tax reductions and exemptions. We will also help with land, loans, and so on. We are all family members, so how can we turn our elbows out and give outsiders benefits?"

"That's right, smoke, smoke."

The deputy township head put the cigarette behind his ear and took out a few pages of paper from his briefcase, "This is the goal of this investment promotion."

"Liaoshi Sanxin Glass Factory?"

“Well, it used to be a government-owned enterprise, but it was later reformed and became privately owned. However, because the compensation issue for laid-off workers has not been resolved, and there have been many troublemakers, the factory’s operation has been intermittent.

It is relatively small in scale, with total assets of 137 million. Its turnover has dropped a lot in recent years, to less than 10, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

But this is already one of the few goals that our township can successfully attract investment. After all, you know what Shiliying is like."

The director of the investment promotion office, who was driving, said, "We have contacted the other party several times. They are very interested, after all, they can get rid of the compensation issue for laid-off workers, but the local government will not let go, or in other words, the local government requires the factory to solve the problem before leaving, so the matter has been delayed for more than a year."

Deputy Township Chief: "Also, when you get to the land, don't tell us your true identity or say you are here to attract investment, or you will be beaten."

Yu Yang understood.

These days, even bankrupt companies are still the darlings of the local people.

If you go and dig out someone's beloved flesh, not only will you be beaten, you will probably be drugged or burned.

Then he looked through the information of the investment target in his hand.

Factory director's name, factory address, factory size, enterprise assets, annual output, annual turnover...

The village head said: "Xiao Yu, the reason we asked you to come this time is mainly because we played hide-and-seek with the locals and got to know them well."

"I know. That means I will come forward."

"Transparent."

"In fact, for this kind of thing, we can definitely ask the big customer Zhang Hai for help. He is well-informed and can speak very well."

"Zhang Hai, the man surnamed Han, and the owner of the Quanpu trailer are busy setting up a fleet. They said they would go to Tianjin Port after taking 1000 baskets of bean sprouts. They are not available recently."

"Old Huang from the coal briquette factory is also fine."

"He has a rustic look, yellow teeth, and bad breath. If he goes to someone else's place, he will be despised."

"At least Mr. Huang is not mentally ill and can see things clearly, otherwise he would have definitely taken the brick kiln from the bank."

Yu Yang has a very good impression of his coal supplier.

At least they dared to lend us dozens of pig iron furnaces on credit when we were heavily in debt.

He added, "He's a pretty good person."

Deputy Township Chief: "He is such a jerk. He hasn't paid taxes for three years."

"Not caught?" Yu Yang asked curiously.

The director of the investment promotion office who was driving shook his head and said, "Who arrested him? Half a year ago, a local tax collector went to the market to collect taxes. He had an argument with a carrot seller and was stabbed three times on the spot. He is still recovering now."

"..."

Not long after.

Beijing Bus 212 left the provincial road and sped north along the bumpy coal slag road.

Yu Yang was looking at the investment materials and was feeling a little drowsy at first, but after being jolted like this, he not only became more alert, but also felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.

I was just about to shout to stop the car and get off to rest.

The off-road jeep made two grunts and then stalled.

The director of the investment promotion office who was driving the car was used to it. He took out a wrench and a screwdriver from under his butt, got out of the car, lifted the engine cover, and started repairs.

Ten minutes later, the car was repaired and back on the road.

But just after crossing the Yellow River floating bridge, the engine stalled again.

So again and again.

It took me most of the day to run a distance of less than 60 kilometers.

It was already 3pm when we arrived at the suburbs of Liao City.

The group found a small forest to meet their domestic needs. After returning, the director of the investment promotion office took out a set of Dongshan Mansion license plates and prepared to replace them.

Yu Yang shook his head. “Since we are already familiar with the locals, if we only change the license plate instead of the car, they might just have an excuse to arrest us.”

"What should we do? We can't walk to the city."

"You and the deputy township head drive an off-road jeep around the city. When you are tired, go shopping in the mall. This will serve as a way to attract attention. Township head, follow me."

Yu Yang took the lead this time, and with such an arrangement, no one could say anything.

After the director of the investment promotion office drove away, the village head looked around the empty road and asked, "Where are we going?"

Yu Yang took the mobile phone from his elder brother, dialed 114, and asked them to transfer to the largest automobile trade city in Liao City.

"I'm planning to buy a car. I'm on Nanjiao Road right now. Please send someone to pick me up. We have three people."

"Good boss!"

Soon, a purely imported Buick flagship model, Boulevard, stopped in front of everyone.

The village chief was stunned. "Is this possible?"

"Buy a car. We are a big customer."

Yu Yang acted like a general contractor, signaled his elder brother to open the rear driver's door, and got in leisurely.

At the same time, he gestured to the township head, "Sit in the front."

A little bit.

The vehicle starts.

The driver who came to pick up the car was an experienced sales manager.

Seeing that everyone was either wearing cadre uniforms or wrapped in military cotton coats, he tried to test them:
"What car do you want to see, boss?"

"Do you have any fancy cars at home?"

"What price do you need?"

"About a hundred thousand."

"BMW 740i, 96 version, how about it?"

"Price?"

"The promotional price is 98.8."

"Your prices are a bit high..."

Yu Yang finished speaking, then changed the subject, "The car we are riding in should be produced in 95, the first generation Park Avenue, 4-speed automatic, 3.8L V6 engine. When my old man first became rich, he also bought one for show. He went through the trade procedures and the landing price was 50."

Township head: “…”

Your dad is in jail, why are you still buying a car?
But in order not to be exposed, he could only lower his head and look through the documents.

The sales consultant frowned slightly when he heard this, "50 is indeed cheap. The boss must have used his connections, right?"

"I don't know. I was still young at the time."

"What kind of car does the old man drive now?"

"To do business, after setting up a company, you get a project, get a loan, then buy a luxury car to offset your taxes, then use the luxury car as collateral for a mortgage, then buy a house, then use the house as collateral for a mortgage, and finally use the loan to do business, and you will have everything.

So, later I bought a Crown, and after driving it for less than two years, I bought a Toyota Century.

I came to Liao City to do some work this morning, and I complained about him being a traitor, so he dumped me here."

Sales consultant: “…”

Township head: “…”

"So don't bully me because I don't know anything about cars, and don't bully me because I don't have any connections. I'm looking for you because I don't have a way to get around right now. Please give me a reasonable price. If that doesn't work, we can just take a taxi to Dongshan Mansion."

"Boss, rest assured, since you are here, we will definitely sell to you sincerely and will never let you suffer a loss."

We chatted nonsense all the way and soon arrived at the Auto Trade City.

The other party should be very powerful.

The lobby on the first floor actually has the rudiments of a 4S store, with several best-selling cars on display.

Xiali, 6.8.

Jetta, 13.88.

Fukang, 14.8.

Songhua River, 4.9.

Changhe, 5.6.

Turning around the best-selling area, there are two luxury cars.

A Mercedes-Benz S320, black, with a price tag of 109.8 million.

A Cadillac, extended, top-of-the-line, with a price tag of 118 million.

There is no such thing as inventory cars these days.

For example, luxury cars that come in through major trade procedures, that is, imported through formal channels, may have been floating on the sea for half a year or even a year before entering the port, as the East has not yet joined the WTO.

So the sales consultant took out a quotation sheet, which included an S96 produced in 600 and currently out of production.

The chassis number is W140, and it is known as the Tiger-head Benz.

As it has been discontinued and its interior and configuration are all behind the new S600, the original price of the Benz was 200 million + 20.

The current selling price is 168 million.

Yu Yang really wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz.

First, the family has more than 1.7 million in cash, all of which is currently deposited in the bank, and in a credit union, which is very unsafe.

It would be better to buy a luxury car, use it as collateral for a mortgage, and end up owing money to the bank.

two is.

Before my rebirth, I was used to seeing all kinds of luxurious designs. Even electric cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars could give you a technological feel.

Now that I have been reborn, looking back at the models of this era, most of them are in a terrible state.

Only Silver Thorn and Tiger Head Run can keep up with the times.

We can't afford the Silver Thorn now, so we can only choose the latter.

But now look at the price of the Tiger Benz after the sharp drop, and then look at the slightly fragile new version of the S600 Butterfly Benz...

It's like we want to buy the fashionable iPhone 12, but when we get to Sanlitun, we are told that it has been discontinued and now it's iPhone 16, and 16 doesn't meet our aesthetic standards.

No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward.

It would be better to make a domestically produced Huawei X5 folding screen.

Thinking of this, Yu Yang looked at the sales consultant.

“Is there an extended version of the Red Flag?”

"???"

“It’s better to pick a red flag.”
