Chapter 709
Under the promotion of Modu TV, the crisis of Outstanding and Abundant Technology Company was resolved, and the stock price of Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Company also began to rebound.
In the following days, Chen Yang received many invitation calls from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region, all asking him to come over for inspection and investment.
After in-depth communication with Shen Anna, Chen Yang decided to make a trip to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng is close to Modu and lacks infiltration by the Tang Family's influence. Building a transfer warehouse there would not only expand Su Cheng's market but also provide strong support for Modu's branch stores.
Of course, choosing to go to Su Cheng at this time also has an important purpose: to divert the Tang Family's attention, allowing Xu Mengyao to complete the task of purchasing shops more smoothly.
Chen Yang's goal is to ensure that in every district and county of Modu there is at least one offline chain supermarket with a total area of no less than 160 square meters. The budget is 300 million yuan.
If the Tang Family had taken notice early on, even if the plan were completed, the cost would be very high.
Although Chen Yang is not short of money, he also does not want to be a fool.
On the first day of April, Chen Yang, together with the investment team led by financial director Qian Duo Duo, drove from Modu to Kunshan City in Su Cheng.
Qian Duo Duo is from Kunshan, and this investment was originally proposed by her.
When they arrived at Kunshan Economic Development Zone, the person in charge of receiving them was a Deputy Mayor surnamed Zhou.
Deputy Mayor Zhou is about forty, looking like a decisive and efficient official. After Chen Yang and Qian Duo Duo got out of the car, he warmly stepped forward to greet them.
"Director Chen, President Qian, welcome to Kunshan for investment!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yang got down to business: "Deputy Mayor Zhou, our main purpose in coming here is to build a large transshipment warehouse, to facilitate subsequent market expansion in Su Cheng and Modu. I wonder if there is a suitable location?"
Deputy Mayor Zhou had done his homework on the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company. He said with a smile: "Director Chen, if your company wants to build a transshipment warehouse in Kunshan, we are very welcoming and willing to provide the land for free."
Chen Yang didn't expect that in Su Cheng, a place where every inch of land is precious, the other side would be so generous. He joked: "Deputy Mayor Zhou, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You're doing this, so there must be conditions, right?"
Deputy Mayor Zhou laughed: "Director Chen, you guessed correctly. We do have a condition: we hope you can also support our local agricultural economy."
Chen Yang had actually long wanted to seek agricultural product cooperation in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region. Deputy Mayor Zhou's condition exactly matched his wishes, and he agreed immediately.
However, Chen Yang also had his own concerns. He told Deputy Mayor Zhou: "Kunshan is right next to Modu, so the export price of agricultural products will definitely be higher than in Dongjiangsheng. If we cooperate, there will certainly be some economic loss. Will your enterprises and farmers accept this outcome?"
Deputy Mayor Zhou waved his hand: "Director Chen, since your company is preparing to fully develop its business here, the agricultural products market across the entire Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region will inevitably be impacted. At that point, our agricultural products will also find it hard to fetch good prices. Rather than becoming competitors with your company in the future, it's better to establish a long-term partnership now. Shared prosperity is the true way, right?"
Chen Yang didn't expect the other side to have such a broad vision, smiling: "Deputy Mayor Zhou, if you don't mind, I guarantee that the agricultural product supply in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region will prioritize your products."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Mayor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. With the Old Hundreds chain supermarket and Old Hundreds e-commerce as the two major sales platforms, Kunshan's agricultural product sales problem was thoroughly resolved. His task could be considered completed.
After reaching an agreement, Deputy Mayor Zhou produced a map prepared in advance and selected a plot of commercial land totaling 100,000 square meters for the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company.
To avoid future trouble, Chen Yang still paid the land use fee according to the local land price.
When the contract was signed, the top two officials of Kunshan City also came over, accompanied by reporters from the TV station.
Such an effect was exactly what Chen Yang needed. After the welcome banquet for the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company's investment in Kunshan, arranged by the municipal government, he specially accepted an interview with the TV station reporter.
And after returning to Modu, he also contacted Corporate Secretary Luo Xue, asking her to officially announce the company's investment layout in Kunshan to the world.
The news quickly reached the Modu municipal government. Deputy Mayor Wang and Deputy Mayor Tang were both summoned to the mayor's office for a discussion lasting over an hour.
When they came out, Deputy Mayor Wang wore a smile, while Deputy Mayor Tang's face was grim. Their expressions already revealed the mayor's final stance.
At the same time, Qingfeng Shan Zhuang, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again.
"President Tang, Chen Yang has gone to Kunshan to invest. How are we still going to take revenge?"
"President Wu, since he's gone to Kunshan, it shows he's weakening. I guess Ma Tianjun will soon withdraw the lawsuit and reconcile with you."
"President Tang, should we reconcile with him or not?"
"President Wu, my goal is to acquire Junfeng Technology. Since Chen Yang this brat has ruined things for me, I naturally won't implicate you further. Do whatever you want now."
"Thank you for your understanding, President Tang! But Chen Yang ruined your plans—are we just going to let it go like that?"
"Hehe, a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late. He ran to Kunshan to invest, nothing more than valuing its proximity to Modu. When the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company's offline chain stores open in Modu, I'll slowly deal with him."
"President Tang, since you already have them, we can relax. If you ever need assistance, just speak up. We will definitely give full support."
"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer."
Tang Qingfeng saw everyone out of Qingfeng Shan Zhuang with a smile. After they had completely left, he put on a cold face again and muttered angrily: "A bunch of useless fools, they can't even handle Junfeng Technology, wasting my two years of layout for nothing."
"Damn Chen Yang, you first screwed over my brother, and now you've screwed me. This debt will be repaid tenfold sooner or later."
He had just finished cursing when his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing it was his father calling, he immediately resumed a respectful attitude.
"Dad, why are you calling at this time? Is there something important you want me to do?"
"Qingfeng, stop your revenge against Chen Yang right now!"
"Dad, Chen Yang has cost our Tang family hundreds of millions and ruined my two-year meticulous plan. Without giving him a lesson, I can't swallow this anger!"
"Hmph, even if I can't bear it, I have to endure. Just now the mayor summoned me and Deputy Mayor Wang for questioning, saying that if we further damage Modu's investment environment, he will pursue responsibility to the end."
