Chapter 1238: Negotiations Press the Pause Button!

After finishing his communication with Han Zhengyi, Tang Ye called Ma Ran into his office.

"Organize the application materials for the National Development and Reform Commission and submit them to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. This is Director Ding's contact information."

Ma Ran reacted quickly, "County Magistrate Tang, has it really succeeded?"

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "Yes, it has succeeded. The province is currently asking the city for materials to study the supporting plans, so you must speed up."

Ma Ran's spirits were lifted, "Understood, I will go organize the materials right now."

Returning to the office, Ma Ran tapped on the keyboard, feeling the hot blood in his body burning.

The road to success is lonely.

Before the project application was approved, everything was planned and pushed forward by Tang Ye alone.

To produce a proposal that could gain Director Qi's approval, Tang Ye could be said to have racked his brains and forgotten to eat or sleep.

Everything seemed to fall into place naturally, but only he himself knew how much heart and blood County Magistrate Tang had poured into it.

Ma Ran finished organizing the materials and then dialed Ding Zhen's office landline.

"Director Ding, hello, I am County Magistrate Tang's Liaison Officer, Ma Ran. I have a set of application materials regarding the application for the National Level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base to send to you."

It had been less than half an hour since he had called Han Zhengyi.

Ding Zhen secretly marveled that the other party's efficiency was truly fast enough.

Ding Zhen's attitude was very positive and proactive!

"How about this, I will arrange for someone to go to Yechuan County to coordinate with you; after receiving the materials, they will be sent directly to the province."

Ma Ran did not expect Ding Zhen to be so cooperative, "Understood, then I will wait for news at the County Government."

Ding Zhen subsequently instructed his subordinates to hurry to Yechuan County to retrieve the application materials.

After arranging all of this, Ding Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

He had not expected Yechuan County to have made such a big commotion without a sound.

The province would formulate support policies based on the application materials, and at that time, the city would also have to provide corresponding support.

With this, the development of the Dong Qu of Yechuan County would become a key focus of attention for Xiyang City.

Ding Zhen found a document from his filing cabinet.

This document concerned the resource allocation for Xiyang City's key projects for next year.

Originally, not many resources were allocated to Yechuan County.

Now, it had to be readjusted.

This was another major project!

The negotiations with Jinhua Group had already entered the fourth round of the second phase of meetings.

The reception standards for Xiyang City this time were very high; whether it was the accommodation conditions or the meeting services, they were all high-standard.

Fan Shaoqun walked into the conference room, shook hands with Gao Qidong, and immediately sat down in his seat.

Fan Shaoqun felt the timing was about right and spoke up, "Mayor Gao, we have talked very deeply about the Jinhua Century City project and have also shown sufficient sincerity. I just received news from the group that we are willing to pay 250 million in land requisition fees; this is our greatest concession."

Gao Qidong was somewhat surprised, secretly thinking that Fan Shaoqun's concession would indeed play a positive role in promoting the negotiations.

"Chairman Fan, your commitment makes me feel your sincerity. However, 500 mu of commercial land is worth at least 500 million according to market prices."

Fan Shaoqun smiled helplessly, "If you do not agree, then we can only choose another place."

Gao Qidong looked around, "Jinhua Group has made a very large concession; do other comrades have any opinions?"

In Gao Qidong's view, this had already reached his psychological expectations.

From paying no funds at all to providing half the funds, and also promising that all tax revenue for the first three years would be used for the construction of Yechuan County.

Having achieved such negotiation results, Gao Qidong felt he had already done his best.

He asked others if they had any opinions.

It was actually just going through the motions.

However, Han Zhengyi's abnormal behavior made his heart skip a beat.

"Mayor Gao, I admit that the negotiation work with Jinhua Group has made breakthrough progress. I can also feel Jinhua Group's sincerity. However, there is a new development in Yechuan County now that I need to report to Mayor Gao and Chairman Fan!"

Gao Qidong said expressionlessly, "What development?"

Han Zhengyi's tone was somewhat excited and also somewhat proud,

"The National Development and Reform Commission has already approved the Yechuan County construction project for the National Level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base.

The province is currently studying supporting policies.

The Yechuan County Eastward Expansion Strategy must be updated and upgraded on this basis, so the negotiations with Jinhua Group must also stand at a higher angle and a broader perspective.

I suggest that the negotiations press the pause button!"

Gao Qidong was somewhat surprised,

"How come I don't know about this news?"

"I also only learned of this news this morning and have not yet seen the specific document. The province is currently studying the supporting policies; once the policies are confirmed, more detailed supporting policies will be issued.

Mayor Gao, if you have doubts, you can verify it!"

Gao Qidong picked up his phone and said to Fan Shaoqun, "I am truly sorry, the situation has suddenly changed, and I need to immediately verify the authenticity of this news; please excuse me for a few minutes."

Fan Shaoqun felt anxious inside.

Once Yechuan County's strategic status was significantly elevated because of this national-level project, then the bargaining chip of 250 million in land requisition fees previously proposed by Jinhua Group would instantly lose its appeal! The negotiation advantage would be completely lost.

Gao Qidong did not avoid the others and dialed the phone of Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director Song Guowei.

"Director Song, I am Gao Qidong."

"Mayor Gao, hello, is there something?"

"There is a matter I need to confirm with you: regarding Yechuan's application for the National Level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base, has the National Development and Reform Commission officially issued a document?"

Song Guowei smiled and said, "The document has already been issued to the province. I reported this good news to Provincial Governor Fu. Provincial Governor Fu also reported it to Secretary Wen. Secretary Wen gave verbal instructions to provide the greatest level of support for this project."

Gao Qidong felt his heart sink, but he still squeezed a smile onto his face, "Understood, thank you Director Song. Our city will certainly attach great importance to this and treat this National Level Project as our top priority."

After hanging up the phone with Song Guowei, Gao Qidong adjusted his mood and said to Fan Shaoqun, "Chairman Fan, I have just verified it. Yechuan County has indeed secured a National Level industrial project. Therefore, we need to adjust the direction of our negotiations."

Having secured a National Level project, the land in Yechuan has become highly sought after.

Fan Shaoqun displayed the flexibility of a businessman, and his tone softened instantly.

"Mayor Gao, we have been in contact with Yechuan County for so long, I hope you can give priority consideration to Jinhua Group."

Gao Qidong nodded and said, "That goes without saying!"

Han Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally!

He had stopped this unfair and asymmetrical negotiation.

The negotiation team led by Fan Shaoqun restrained their arrogant attitude at this moment.

They were now starting to feel nervous and anxious.

The outside world all believed that Jinhua Group would secure these five hundred mu of core commercial land.

If they were not successful, the momentum of the stock price, which had been rising continuously under the positive news, would certainly come to an abrupt halt.

It might even trigger a backlash due to "negative news."
