Chapter 794

Zuo Xingqing walked in from the gate, and Meng Huaizhi's face changed, then he smiled.

"Old Zuo, your nose is really sharp; you found your way here by smelling the scent."

Zuo Xingqing ignored Meng Huaizhi, glanced at Zhao Jin, but didn't speak, instead greeting Zhou Andong with a smile, reaching out his hand from afar.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Meng Huaizhi interrupt: "Chairman Zhou, let me introduce you; this is the head of our Hulunbuir family, Comrade Zuo Xingqing."

Zuo Xingqing's nose was almost crooked with anger. I have a mouth myself; who needs you to introduce me?

But anger was anger; he couldn't lose his manners in front of Zhou Andong. He estimated that Meng Huaizhi provoking him like this didn't have any good intentions either, so he had to be careful not to fall into his trap.

"Chairman Zhou, I didn't expect your mother's maiden home to be in Arhorqin Banner. You can be considered half an Arhorqin Banner person; this is the honor of our entire Hulunbuir."

Zhou Andong gave a wry smile: "Leader, that's a bit much; I'm just a small businessman."

"Not at all!" Zuo Xingqing shook his head: "Reform and opening up is the path to a strong country, and taking economic construction as the center is the key to a prosperous country. Whether it's reform and opening up or adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles, we must take economic construction as the center.

However, economic construction can't be done just by talking; we must have businessmen like you who love the country and the people, forging ahead, constantly contributing, taking on the responsibilities of the era, and upholding the power of the business path to cast the glory of the country.

And with the commercial achievements you have made, you are already looked up to by most people, including me. You say, as half an Arhorqin Banner person, can our entire Hulunbuir not feel happy?"

Zhou Andong was lifted high by Zuo Xingqing, floating in the air. He was very happy inside, but his brain was very clear.

Because he knew that if he floated like this, if his brain wasn't clear, he would fall and die if he fell down.

"Smack!" Meng Huaizhi suddenly slapped his forehead, "Chairman Zhou, I forgot to introduce you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the person beside him, "This is our Secretary, Comrade Zhao Jin."

Meng Huaizhi, you bastard. Zuo Xingqing cursed inwardly. We were chatting well; can you not die if you don't interrupt?

Meng Huaizhi was very proud. With me here, you don't need to think about being able to talk about anything with Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong didn't know Zhao Jin, but seeing him standing beside Meng Huaizhi, he guessed his rank wasn't low.

It was just that Meng Huaizhi hadn't introduced him, so he pretended not to know.

Zhou Andong shook hands with Zhao Jin: "Secretary Zhao, I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize you."

Zhao Jin smiled: "We came uninvited; we should be the ones saying sorry."

At this moment, Jian Qiu said: "Alright, stop with the polite talk, hurry inside, it's too hot outside."

"Go inside, go inside!"

Zhou Andong ushered them into the room. Zuo Xingqing had just stepped into the door when he was beaten to it by Meng Huaizhi.

Zuo Xingqing gritted his teeth with anger. Zhou Andong looked at these two people and pondered for a while.

These two people not only knew each other but were very familiar with each other.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing these little tricks in front of him; it was too damaging to their status.

Zhao Jin saw what Zhou Andong was thinking and whispered from behind.

"They are brothers-in-law; Zuo Xingqing is the elder brother-in-law, and Old Meng is the younger brother-in-law. The two have been competing since they were young."

Zhou Andong suddenly realized and chuckled. That explained it.

He was just very curious; their father-in-law must also be a very awesome person, otherwise, how could he have found these two awesome sons-in-law.

Another group of people came, and the room was already crowded. Zhao Jin turned around in the outer room, lifted the back door curtain, and his eyes lit up.

"There are two fruit trees in the backyard; take the stools out, and we'll chat in the courtyard."

"Alright!" Meng Huaizhi agreed, and without anyone doing it, they each took a stool and came to the backyard.

Actually, except for Zhao Jin, Meng Huaizhi, Zuo Xingqing, and the main department leaders who came with them, no one else dared to sit, and they all stood on the side to accompany them.

Yuan Mei and the others brought two more tables, then started boiling water, took out two large stacks of bowls and placed them on the tables, and found the tea Zhou Andong had brought. After the water boiled, they started brewing tea.

"Chairman Jian, this child really looks like you, so beautiful." Meng Huaizhi looked at the child in Jian Qiu's arms and kept praising, "I didn't see the child in the city before, and this time I came in a hurry, so I didn't bring a gift for the child, but I'll definitely make up for it next time."

Jian Qiu didn't explain, and Zhou Andong wouldn't say anything either.

"Mayor Meng, I know why you came. To tell you the truth, I've been thinking for the past two days about what project is suitable for investment in Qishi. But I'm sorry, the Yugong Group, including all its branches, really doesn't have a suitable project, except for Yuxi Real Estate."

Meng Huaizhi smiled: "Urban complex is very suitable."

"..."

Zhou Andong looked at Meng Huaizhi speechlessly. It was true that Qishi was the second-largest city in Heilongjiang Province, but building an urban complex would require waiting at least another seven or eight years, meaning after the year 2000.

And he built the urban complex in Jiangzhou because it was his home, and it required a series of marketing and publicity afterwards. Importantly, this marketing and publicity plan was not replicable.

Zuo Xingqing looked very happy: "Old Meng, you're really not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. I've studied the urban complex project. Putting aside how much money it costs to invest, with Qishi's current economic volume, it's very difficult to support it.

Zhou Andong is a businessman, not a philanthropist. Investing tens or hundreds of billions to build an urban complex, only to let it gather dust? To put it there for show? Everyone wants good things, but you have to be realistic."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Mayor Meng, I won't invest in Qishi, but my younger brother's 365 Home Furnishings can build a factory in Qishi; I can guarantee this."

Meng Huaizhi was not discouraged: "Chairman Zhou, I'm not asking you to build the urban complex all at once. I'll approve the land for you first; I'll give you whatever you want, just build the Qiudongfang Shopping Plaza first. You can build the others in a few years."

Zhou Andong said jokingly: "Then I want the land where your municipal government is."

Meng Huaizhi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Alright, I'll report it to the province when I go back, and we'll move."

"..."

Zhou Andong looked at Meng Huaizhi speechlessly. He didn't know what to say, but at the same time, he felt Meng Huaizhi's sincerity.

"Chairman Zhou!" Meng Huaizhi said very seriously: "What I said is not fake at all. If you want it, we'll move."

Zhou Andong didn't speak for a long time, and finally could only give a wry smile: "In this way, I still have some things to do. After I'm busy, I'll go to Qishi to take a look in two days."

If it was just building a shopping plaza, the problem shouldn't be too big. Because with the drive of a large shopping mall, it would definitely drive the surrounding consumption capacity.
