Du Bowen smiled and said nothing, leaving the decision to Zhou Qi. He would support whatever decision Zhou Qi made.

At this moment, he remained silent.

Zhou Qi smiled at the provincial government leader and said, "It is an honor for Hualong Teng'ao to be recognized by the leader. We cannot be called a leading enterprise."

“We’ll do our job the best we can.”

"Of course, if we can contribute to the economic development of Guangdong Province, Hualong Teng'ao will do its best to help. We will not refuse any request from you."

Hear this,

The provincial government leader's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It is a blessing for the province that President Zhou has such a broad mind."

"Dinghua has proposed a plan to build a bridge to connect the north and south banks. I wonder what Mr. Zhou and Mr. Du think of this?"

Du Bowen's eyes fell on Zhou Qi.

Although he had learned about Dinghua's plan and the core topic of this meeting before coming - the construction of the bridge

However, when he heard that the news was not announced by Gao Qingliang but by the provincial government leaders, he felt a sense of unusual pressure.

In contrast, Gao Qingliang has always emphasized the development potential of the North Bank and Guangdong Province, and a tacit cooperative relationship seems to have been formed between the two.

It would be a fantasy to say that there was no secret agreement between Dinghua and the provincial government.

Now that the provincial government is pushing this matter so actively, it is undoubtedly bad news for them.

It seems to be asking for opinions, but in fact it is asking for direct consent, leaving no room for negotiation. Any dissenting voice will be accused of hindering the development of Guangdong Province.

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "Building a bridge is a good thing. Once it is completed, the economies of the north and south sides will be able to exchange what they need. Hualong Teng'ao will certainly support it."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present showed a surprised expression, including the provincial leader. Obviously, things went much more smoothly than expected.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dinghua’s proposal to build a bridge is intended to take away some of the resources and development opportunities of the South Bank.

At present, the focus of the entire Guangdong Province is on Nan'an, especially the large-scale investment of the Li family and Hualong Teng'ao.

With the development rights of the South Bank falling into the hands of Hualong Teng'ao, with the help of the Li family's relationship, there will be more possibilities for cooperation in the future.

The city government has therefore focused on promoting the development of the South Shore, which has indirectly restricted the progress of the North Shore.

However, once the bridge is built, the North Shore will be able to share in the benefits of the South Shore's development without any effort.

As a result, neither the city nor the provincial government can continue to focus on developing the South Shore. In order to achieve balance, some policy resources must be allocated to the North Shore.

In other words, Hualong Teng'ao invested a huge amount of money to win the Nan'an project, but it has to share part of the results with Dinghua for free.

Therefore, the provincial government is ready to face the conditions proposed by Hualong Teng'ao or even reject them.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi agreed so easily and seemed to be very supportive of this decision.

"Mr. Zhou, is this really what you think?" asked the provincial government official.

Zhou Qi replied with a faint smile: "Although I am not from Guangdong Province, I feel obliged to contribute to the development of Guangdong Province. This is what I really mean."

"But I have a request and a suggestion..." Hearing this, everyone held their breath.

Gao Qingliang raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this matter was not that simple.

The purpose of his proposal to build a bridge must have been well known to Du Bowen and Zhou Qi.

Now that they have agreed so quickly, there will definitely be more requests and suggestions in the future, which clearly shows that they are holding something back.

He has made various preparations for this.

No matter what Hualong Teng'ao chooses, he will benefit. As long as it is under the banner of promoting the development of Guang Province, the initiative of this cooperation is in his hands, and Hualong Teng'ao can only passively accept it.

What he was curious about was what tricks Zhou Qi would play.

The provincial government official glanced at Gao Qingliang, then smiled at Zhou Qi and said, "Mr. Zhou, if you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

Gao Qingliang only wanted to promote the construction of the bridge.

Since Hualong Tengao has agreed to the bridge construction project, his main goal has been basically achieved. As for the distribution of interests between the two parties, it is not within his consideration.

Zhou Qi smiled and said: "Building a bridge is a good thing and a big thing. Of course I support it, but as you can see, our current project requires huge investment.

The daily cost is also very high, and we cannot currently allocate more funds to build the bridge, after all, we have to ensure the smooth progress of the existing projects.”

In simple terms, they agreed to build the bridge but would not pay for it. Both Gao Qingliang and the provincial government had anticipated this.

It is not surprising that Hualong Teng'ao may not invest in building the bridge.

Gao Qingliang chuckled and said, "We can discuss the funding issue slowly. Hualong Teng'ao has the development rights for the south bank, and the bridge connects the two banks, so we need to contribute anyway."

“However, we also noticed that the scale of Hualong Teng’ao’s project is very large, so it is understandable that the funds are tight.

Building a bridge is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. During this period of time, I believe Hualong Teng'ao can provide some help."

"It's best to determine the location of the bridge first. Since we want to connect the north and south banks, we naturally have to choose the best location. I think this piece of land under our feet is good. What do you think, Mr. Jay?"

Gao Qingliang’s meaning was very clear: if you don’t invest, then you can give up the development rights.

Dinghua could be fully responsible for the construction of the bridge, but what he wanted was the land.

There is an amusement park and a community project next to it. The value of this land has changed a lot and far exceeds that of the North Shore.

If we can get this land, it will be a very profitable investment.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I have to admit that Mr. Gao has a unique vision, but you are a step too late. The land under your feet and the surrounding area have already been planned for other purposes and are not suitable for building a bridge."

“According to the overall plan, the bridge is best built at the southern estuary, where cargo ships gather.

With this bridge, goods can be transported directly to the North Shore, thus better promoting the economic development of the North Shore and benefiting the people.”

Hearing this, Gao Qingliang's face suddenly turned ugly and he almost burst into curse.

The bridge was built to boost development on the South Bank and increase the value of his investment land on the North Bank.

But now Zhou Qi has moved the bridge to the estuary, which is no longer related to his land on the north bank. If this is the case, his plan has completely failed.

With hundreds of millions of dollars invested, wouldn’t you just be a philanthropist from afar? What benefits can you talk about?

The provincial government staff remained silent, their eyes shifting between the two men, waiting for Gao Qingliang to express his opinion.

It has to be said that Zhou Qi's move was indeed ruthless and directly cut off Dinghua's profit chain.

How could Dinghua easily accept such a proposal? But he himself was not in a position to say this.

"That's an interesting suggestion."

The more Gao Qingliang thought about it, the angrier he became: "Hualong Teng'ao didn't contribute a single cent to the construction of the bridge, and even the location had to be decided by us.

Although Hualong Teng'ao has the development rights of Nan'an, this does not mean that the development planning of the entire Nan'an and Guangdong Province must be led by you. "
