Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

This double-sided drama is really difficult to perform.

He wanted to show his loyalty to Bai Qinghong and distance himself from Zhou Qi, but he was also afraid that the other party might have something on him.

Gao Qingliang wanted to take advantage of the situation to eliminate this hidden danger, but thinking of the chain reaction that might be triggered by Zhou Qi's downfall, he did not dare to take the risk.

Inside the provincial government conference hall, Du Bowen drank slowly from a blue and white porcelain cup, glancing at Zhou Qi who was greeting the director of the Planning Bureau.

The officials who arrived one after another seemed to be chatting casually, but in fact they were secretly observing the interaction between the three real estate tycoons.

This project negotiation, which affects the economic lifeline of both sides of the Taiwan Strait, is about to come to an end in the game between various forces.

The air in the conference room gradually froze, and several persons in charge at the main seats exchanged meaningful glances.

These people who have been working in the political and business circles for many years have keenly captured the subtle changes in the situation at this moment.

The cooperation framework proposed by Zhou Qi's team seems reasonable, but it actually contains a mystery - it is necessary to expand the scope of project acceptance while leaving room for the funding supervision clauses.

Although Du Bowen and Gao Qingliang did not say it explicitly, they tacitly ceded the right to speak to Zhou Qi.

The invisible alliance formed by the three companies made the officials present frown secretly. This trend of collective pressure obviously went beyond the scope of normal negotiations.

When a leader deliberately mentioned Dinghua Real Estate's real estate reserve advantage on the North Shore, his intention to divide the three parties was obvious.

Gao Qingliang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and used tactful words to defuse the temptation.

These entrepreneurs who have been immersed in the business world for many years are well aware that when faced with large-scale government-led projects, they must strive to maximize profits while maintaining superficial harmony.

The lively conversation at the conference table at this moment is actually a silent battlefield for multi-party gaming.

As heads of more than a dozen departments including the National Development and Reform Commission, Land and Resources, and Urban Construction took their seats one after another, the provincial government's determination to promote the North Shore development project was evident.

The opening speech of the main leader was sharp but gentle, praising the social responsibility of enterprises while emphasizing the limits of policy support.

When the topic turned to the substantive stage, professional opinions from various departments came one after another.

The land department emphasized the compliance of land use, the urban construction department put forward more than 20 technical parameter requirements, and the environmental protection group listed eight hard indicators...

The procedural reporting of each link lasted nearly half an hour. It seemed to be a routine procedure according to the rules, but in fact it contained invisible shackles that restricted the expansion of the company.

This boiling-frog-in-warm-water negotiation rhythm just confirmed Zhou Qi's previous prediction - getting an ideal share of a government-led mega project is far from as simple as a superficial agreement.

After several rounds of consultations, the final adjustment plan compressed Zhou Qi's north bank development plan to the south riverside area.

This area only occupies a quarter of the original planned area and does not even reach the 30% scale that Du Bowen had previously estimated.

The government departments deliberately reserved room for negotiation. These are common strategies at the negotiation table, and everyone present is tacitly aware of them.

Throughout this tug-of-war, Zhou Qi always maintained the restraint of an entrepreneur.

Unlike the straightforward business negotiations, he sat as a listener throughout the whole process, and only adjusted his sitting posture and smiled when the representatives of each department finished speaking:

"I would like to thank all the leaders for their professional guidance, and I understand everyone's careful consideration of fund security and project implementation."

“But this plan is a carefully designed ecosystem.”

He tapped the blueprint on the table: "Residential communities connect to commercial complexes, port logistics support the integration of industry and city, and each sector is a gear that meshes with each other.

As a company, we must shoulder social responsibilities and be responsible for the investments of our shareholders.”

“You all know the current land price level and industrial base of the North Shore better than we do.”

Zhou Qi looked around the audience and said, "The opening of the cross-river bridge will certainly boost development, but if it is only developed in a fragmented manner, not only will the economic boosting effect be greatly reduced, but the investment return cycle of enterprises will also be extended indefinitely."

The temperature in the meeting room suddenly dropped, and several officials adjusted their sitting positions at the same time.

Seeing this, Du Bowen immediately took over the conversation: "Our three corporate alliances have rich experience in old city reconstruction, and the successful case of Gangcheng CBD is the best endorsement.

This joint development of the North Shore not only has the infrastructure strength of Tang's Real Estate, but also the commercial operation resources of Hualong Teng'ao..."

He observed the crowd's reactions as he spoke: "Of course we also understand the policy considerations, so we proposed a phased implementation plan.

As long as the first phase of the project can meet expectations, subsequent funds and resources will definitely keep up.”

This supplement not only maintained the government's authority, but also laid the groundwork for subsequent negotiations.

At this moment, the conference room was filled with undercurrents. Officials exchanged glances, and some stroked their teacups thoughtfully.

Du Bowen knew that the key to this game was hidden in Zhou Qi's seemingly gentle but secretly sharp "theory of overall development".

Zhou Qi's voice echoed in the conference room, and the originally tense atmosphere was cleverly resolved.

Several provincial government officials looked at each other, and their tense expressions gradually relaxed.

The provincial leader sitting in the main seat turned his pen and looked over with a sharp gaze:

"The development of the North Shore will benefit the present and future generations, and we are certainly happy to see it happen. However, urban construction is like planting a tree. It requires deep roots and patience to wait for branches and leaves to grow."

His eyes swept across the room, finally landing on the head of the Planning Commission:

"Can the policy framework be optimized appropriately? Explore more constructive support plans on the premise of legality and compliance."

The middle-aged official who was named straightened his back and clasped his fingers together on the mahogany table:

"Our approval standards have been scientifically proven, just like planting crops according to the solar terms. However, the commercial demands raised by Jay Chou are indeed worthy of attention."

He then changed the subject: "If the investor can pay the project deposit and improve the construction qualification level, the scope of review can be reduced to 70%. If the subsequent performance is good, there is still room for negotiation."

Listening to the Tai Chi push hands between the two sides, Zhou Qi suddenly chuckled: "Thank you leaders for your careful planning. But forgive me for being frank..."

He tapped the South Bank planning map with his fingertips: "With the same amount of money invested here, the payback period is at least 40% shorter. Choosing the North Bank is an emotional investment. If we still have to dance in shackles..."

The air suddenly solidified.

The tea cups of several officials were suspended in the air, and the ripples on the water reflected their suddenly changing expressions.

Everyone knows that this infrastructure maniac is not bluffing, and the mature business district in South Bank is indeed more attractive.

"What do you think, Mr. Gao?" The provincial leader suddenly turned to the silent Dinghua president.

This company, which has hoarded a large amount of land on the North Shore, is now stroking the dark patterns on the gold-stamped invitation, with a gleam in its eyes.

The venue was caught in a delicate game of chess, with various forces secretly wrestling with each other.

At this moment, all eyes are focused on Gao Qingliang, Chairman of Dinghua Industrial.

The provincial government faction originally planned to use this business tycoon to put pressure on Zhou Qi, chairman of the Qidong Group, to ensure the implementation of the cross-river bridge project, even if the cooperation eventually broke down.

The core demand is to include major infrastructure projects in the government's planning outline and form a red-headed document with legal effect.
