Chapter 505: 501. The Industrial Park Plan (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets!)

When the speed of express delivery can reach the point of arriving the next day, many advantages of physical stores will be offset.

Not to mention that some of them arrive on the same day here.

Starting from the 12th, news about the speed of express delivery for online shopping on Fengli Net began to spread.

In fact, for many people, the speed of express delivery is a very critical matter; most people do not have that much patience, and when they buy new things, they are always eager to see them.

Coupled with the fact that Fengli Group carried out publicity again and increased its efforts, slowly, it retained quite a few customers, while also continuously absorbing new customers.

Zhang Ran came to an investment promotion meeting held by the Municipal Government, but it was not large; although it was called an investment promotion meeting, the main purpose was actually just for Zhang Ran.

This time, Zhang Ran brought Zhang Sicheng and the others along to give them some experience, and even Liu Lu participated.

After all, there was nothing to do at home, and staying with the people who came to the house meant being asked this and that, so Liu Lu was also a bit annoyed.

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived, the entire venue became lively; everyone greeted Zhang Ran one after another, and the moment he arrived, he became the focus of the scene.

However, most people also had self-awareness; they greeted him and then went to find Zhang Sicheng and the others, and soon there were not many people left around Zhang Ran.

There were a few that Zhang Ran recognized, among whom Li Da and his son from Li Da Group were prominently included; they had also come this time.

"Mr. Zhang, we meet again," Li Da said with a smile.

Zhang Ran also responded with a smile, "I haven't thanked you yet for the last time, President Li."

Li Da said, "This was something we should have done in the first place, and we also received a return; Mr. Zhang is too polite."

Last time, during the great battle between Maikai Supermarket and Fengchao Supermarket, Li Da Group was a firm supporter of Zhang Ran.

At that time, they made many concessions and also created some difficulties for Fengchao Supermarket; they had already done very well, and Zhang Ran naturally kept it in his heart.

"Mr. Zhang, I am Zhu Meng; do you still remember me?" a man who was over fifty years old but had a very rugged appearance said with some excitement.

Zhang Ran had actually already received the information provided by Xie Mingrui before coming, as he also needed to screen it.

Xie Mingrui knew that Zhang Ran helped many people, but the people he offended, or rather the people who offended him, were actually not few, and he could not let this proper investment promotion meeting become unpleasant.

So Zhang Ran also knew this person, "Brother Meng, of course I remember; I remember your fierce appearance from back then clearly."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Zhu Meng was actually a bit embarrassed, "Well, I was young and ignorant back then; thanks to Mr. Zhang for not holding a grudge against a petty person and even helping our company, thank you very much."

"Haha, Old Zhu, where is that thick skin of yours? How come you are embarrassed now?" someone teased.

Zhu Meng glared at him and said, "Get lost, these are all my sincere words; Mr. Zhang, don't listen to their nonsense."

Zhang Ran chuckled; Zhu Meng's temperament seemed unchanged, but it was also quite different from back then.

However, since they came today, it proved that they still remembered the friendship from back then; although he didn't know how much they remembered, it was good that they could come.

When the conversation was almost over, Zhu Meng took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhang, I won't say much else; if it weren't for you back then, there wouldn't be today for me, Old Zhu. You tell me how to do it, and I will do it."

Once Zhu Meng spoke, others spoke up one after another, and Li Da also smiled, "Mr. Zhang, I won't say much else either; I don't have extra money, but two or three billion is still something I can take out."

"President Li is domineering!" someone laughed.

Looking at these people, Xie Mingrui also began to calculate what their city could gain from this.

It would be best to be able to keep these companies and set up a branch factory.

Just like Li Da Group, if they opened a branch factory here, then just the number of jobs would be quite significant.

These are all good things that can drive the development of their city.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Thank you all. I will tell everyone the truth here: I am not short of money for the time being. I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I really do have some things I need everyone's help with."

"Mr. Zhang, please speak," Zhu Meng said immediately.

Zhang Ran looked at Zhu Meng with a chuckle and said, "Brother Meng, you are being a bit too obvious; others will think you are a shill I hired."

"Haha, Old Zhu, you aren't doing a very competent job as a shill."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang, let me be the shill next time; don't look for Old Zhu."

The crowd burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere remained very good.

Zhang Ran joked for a moment, then straightened his expression and said, "Before talking about business, I want to say something to everyone first."

The crowd suddenly quieted down, preparing to listen to Zhang Ran, and even the people surrounding Zhang Sicheng quieted down.

Zhang Ran looked around and said, "Everyone was able to come here today, and I, Zhang Ran, acknowledge this favor. However, favors are favors, and interests are interests. What I am going to talk to you about next is interests. I hope everyone won't bring favors into this; otherwise, if you lose money, don't come looking for me, as I won't acknowledge it."

"Mr. Zhang is joking; even if we lose money, that would be due to our own lack of ability, how could we blame you," Li Da said with a smile.

Others also spoke up one after another, saying similar things.

Zhang Ran did not say anything more; since things had been said to this point, there was no need to say more.

Then Zhang Ran talked about the business, "Just a few days ago, I reached an agreement with the leaders of the city to open an industrial park in the city..."

Zhang Ran began to explain in detail the matters he discussed with the city; the matter was very simple, which was to specifically open an industrial park here.

This industrial park would contain physical enterprises, and the people present were all in this category; food, clothing, shoes, large and small, were basically covered.

And most of the goods in these industrial parks would be sold through Fengli Net, and the city would also have policy subsidies, such as some tax exemption policies.

This was also for the sake of the future development of Fengli Net, and even Maikai Supermarket would benefit.

In this way, Zhang Ran could also be said to have grasped these downstream industries; although it was only a branch factory, it could not be underestimated.

Of course, it also meant tying these industries to his chariot, so they could be considered to advance and retreat together.

This was also the reason why Xie Mingrui was so eager to promote this matter, because their city could indeed obtain great benefits.

Once successful, the economy and jobs driven by it would be very significant.
