Chapter 551

Director Huo, Old Hu's move seems to have gone wrong! Liu Jianghua had always guessed that Chen Yang's overseas account still had a lot of funds not activated. Unexpectedly, it actually reached as high as four billion dollars.

If these funds could be brought to Dongjiangsheng for investment, combined with Chen Yang's business acumen, they would definitely drive the rise of many local industries.

Unfortunately, Old Master Hu considered Chen Yang a hidden danger on the Lin family father and daughter's path to advancement. Not only did he cause the young couple to divorce, but he also had Huo Yunyan step in to carve up the people's meat limited company that had been painstakingly supported.

Thus, it is almost unrealistic to expect Chen Yang to make large-scale investments in Qingshui City, let alone the entire Dongjiangsheng.

Regarding this, Liu Jianghua felt angry inside but couldn't show it. After all, Chen Yang hasn't completely severed ties with the Hu and Lin families. This can only be considered their internal family matter.

"Governor, Old Hu's purpose is to stabilize Qingshui City's development; perhaps he doesn't care about other things." Huo Yunyan had actually advised Old Master Hu, but to no effect.

"Stabilize?" Liu Jianghua snorted coldly, saying: "Without Chen Yang's financial support, do you think the people's meat limited company will still develop at the same speed as before?"

Huo Yunyan furrowed her brows slightly, thought for a moment, then said to Liu Jianghua: "Chen Yang can continuously inject funds; the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Qingshui City government can likewise increase investment. Without saying more, getting the people's meat limited company listed smoothly is still no problem."

Liu Jianghua felt Huo Yunyan still hadn't seen the essence of the problem, he reminded her: "Director Huo, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission already holds thirty percent of the shares; could the Qingshui City government still allow you to add more investment? They won't guard against you moving the company to Xingcheng, will they?"

Huo Yunyan fell silent instantly. If the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission continues to increase investment, its controlling stake will likely exceed that of Qingshui City Investment Company. At that point, a single remark from Liu Jianghua could make her move the company to Xingcheng; would she dare to oppose?

If the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission doesn't spend money, letting Qingshui City government and the Investment Group bear the pressure alone would drag down the development of other industries.

Even if the people's meat limited company can go public, it cannot boost Qingshui City's overall economy.

Using a face-saving project to exchange a few years of Qingshui City's development, I estimate the city's leadership would not agree!

Huo Yunyan, the more she thought, the more she felt Old Master Hu's plan was a failure. She suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Jianghua: "Governor, you need to prepare yourself mentally; Comrade Kong Jie will probably come soon to complain to you and Secretary Cheng."

Liu Jianghua laughed: "He won't find me. This matter from start to finish is being manipulated by Old Hu and your State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

Huo Yunyan whispered a reminder: "Governor, moving the people's meat limited company to Xingcheng was actually your earliest suggestion..."

Liu Jianghua said lightly: "Although I had this idea, I still respect the opinions of local comrades. If Comrade Kong Jie and Comrade Lin Jianguo can foster a listed company in Qingshui City, I will also be happy for them."

Huo Yunyan saw that Liu Jianghua was unflappable, and sighed helplessly.

At that moment, the phone in Liu Jianghua's office rang. He glanced at it, then suddenly smiled at Huo Yunyan and said: "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Comrade Kong Jie's call really came."

Huo Yunyan instantly felt a headache.

"Comrade Kong Jie, what's up?"

"Governor, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission forcibly intervened in the people's meat limited company's IPO plan, pushing Chen Yang out of the company, making our work very passive!"

"Comrade Kong Jie, you can't push all the blame onto Director Huo. As far as I know, Qingshui City Investment Company is now the largest shareholder of the people's meat limited company. This shows that you and Comrade Lin Jianguo have nodded in agreement on taking over the company's management from Chen Yang."

"Governor, we also have no choice. If we don't get involved, it's questionable whether the people's meat limited company can stay in Qingshui City..."

"Comrade Kong Jie, I never said we must definitely move the people's meat company to Xingcheng, did I?"

"Governor, I also didn't say it's your responsibility. I just hope the province can give us some fiscal appropriations to first finish the pre-IPO preparations."

"This is probably a bit difficult... This year the whole province is engaged in large-scale development; local comrades have been calling me these days asking for money. I'm also worried about the money situation! Why don't you go discuss with Chen Yang? That kid is now well-off!"

"Governor, we just drove that person away, and now we're asking them to come back to invest— isn't that inappropriate?"

"Think of a solution! Chen Yang and the Lin family ultimately haven't completely severed ties. I suggest you directly have the Lin family's girl go talk to him. If the talk succeeds, we'll give her a merit!"

"This... isn't appropriate?"

"As long as it solves the problem, there's nothing inappropriate about it!"

"Then... I'll think about it. I won't disturb your office for now."

"Hmm, wish you good luck! Goodbye!"

Liu Jianghua hung up the phone, suddenly couldn't help laughing. He said to Huo Yunyan: "If this matter really gets settled by the Lin family's girl, Old Hu's side will surely become a laughingstock."

Huo Yunyan also laughed a bit, though her smile was a little bitter. Liu Jianghua's meaning, she of course understood. Old Master Hu deemed Chen Yang a stumbling block on the Lin family father and daughter's career path, painstakingly scheming to cut Chen Yang out. In the end, however, she still had to rely on Chen Yang's ability to help Lin Jianguo and his daughter advance. This is indeed a bit of a slap in the face.

"Governor, do you think Chen Yang will heed Lin Wei's advice and reinvest in the people's meat limited company?"

"I don't know!" Liu Jianghua shook his head, sighing: "That kid's ideas and behavior are always unpredictable. Whatever he does, I won't find it surprising."

Huo Yunyan sighed again. She felt that her playing the villain was too foolish. If mishandled, both sides would end up dissatisfied.

In the Qingshui City Municipal Party Committee Secretary's office, Kong Jie put down the receiver and said to Lin Jianguo, who was waiting nearby to hear news: "The governor's meaning is to have your beloved go talk to Chen Yang; if the talk succeeds, we'll record a merit for her."

Lin Jianguo, upon hearing this, frowned tightly, hesitated for a while before saying to Kong Jie: "Secretary, this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Kong Jie said: "Those who accomplish great things are not bound by minor details; I believe this is the only feasible approach at this stage. For the development of Qingshui City, we shouldn't confine ourselves to those worldly rules."

Besides, although Chen Yang and your daughter have separated, their feelings remain good. If I'm not mistaken, he's still living at your place, right?

Lin Jianguo gave an embarrassed laugh. Qingshui City is ultimately too small; this kind of thing can't be hidden even if one tries.

Secretary, I'll go back first to discuss with Lin Wei, hoping she can persuade Chen Yang to take over Ordinary People's Meat Industry Ltd. again.
