Chapter 1048

~6 min read 1,125 words

Tian Xiaopeng's friend was a Mindong person named Pan Yongchun. The day he came, the pomp was extremely large. Their group of more than a dozen people came, forming a motorcade of six luxury cars. Mercedes-Benzes weren't even considered much in the motorcade, and there were several cars that not many people in the whole Shangjun County recognized.

Pan Yongchun's name sounded relatively delicate, but when Tian Xiaopeng welcomed him and he got out of the car, everyone discovered that his personal style did not match his name at all.

This President Pan wore a mink coat, his hairstyle was a small flat top, and he hung a thick and long gold chain around his neck. His figure was short and sturdy, and his fingers looked like small carrots.

Tian Xiaopeng banqueted Pan Yongchun and his group at the County Committee Reception Center. Afterwards, he stayed in Shangjun County for one night, and the next day he came to Pengjiawanzhen, saying he was inspecting the site selection.

Although Su Xinghui didn't think much of this steel mill, since the investor came to inspect, he naturally couldn't just drive others away. He could only patiently participate in the reception of Pan Yongchun and his group.

The six luxury cars that Pan Yongchun and his group drove opened the eyes of the cadres and common people of Pengjiawanzhen. They surrounded these luxury cars, clicking their tongues in admiration. And when Pan Yongchun got out of the car, one of his subordinates lit a cigar for him with a gold lighter—that pomp really shocked everyone.

When had the people of Pengjiawanzhen ever seen such a pompous big boss?

Only Su Xinghui secretly laughed in his heart. Isn't this a typical nouveau riche face? The Hou Group is so powerful, and Hou Guangbi, as the chairman, looks like just an ordinary old man. His grandson, Hou Wenhai, is also soaked in the construction site of the electrical appliance factory every day, and one can't tell at all that he is a big boss with huge wealth. How could they be as pretentious as this President Pan?

However, this is also very normal. The Chinese have been poor for too long. Now that a part of the people have become rich first, how could they not show off? The concept of the Chinese has always been like this: if you are rich and don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in the night in silk clothes. If they don't show off, then what is the use of them earning money?

Besides, many government officials in China just eat this set. The more bluffing your style is, the more they feel you have strength. This is also the reason why many bosses today make such a nouveau riche style.

The Hou family is different. The Hou family has been a family of poetry and books for generations, and after many years of accumulation, they have deep accumulation. They no longer need to rely on this to prove their identity.

Although he didn't think much of Pan Yongchun's style, Su Xinghui had to admit that this President Pan still had strength. He recognized that there was no lack of top luxury cars like Bentley in President Pan's motorcade. These luxury cars were conservatively estimated to be worth nearly ten million yuan. No wonder he could take out 300 million at once to invest in a steel mill.

Tian Xiaopeng accompanied Pan Yongchun into the town government. He introduced to Su Xinghui: "Comrade Xinghui, this is President Pan Yongchun. He wants to invest 300 million RMB in our Shangjun County to build a steel mill. Coming to your Pengjiawanzhen today is to inspect the site selection."

Tian Xiaopeng acted as if he hadn't argued with Su Xinghui about the steel mill issue that day at all. His tone was very natural. Su Xinghui wouldn't dwell on the argument between him and Tian Xiaopeng that day either. You have a thousand wonderful plans, I have a fixed rule. Anyway, your steel mill's environmental protection is not up to standard, so it is impossible for me to agree to you building the factory here.

If Tian Xiaopeng had the ability to convince Pan Yongchun to get the environmental protection facilities done well, Su Xinghui actually felt it wouldn't hurt to agree to him building a factory here.

But Su Xinghui also didn't believe that Tian Xiaopeng could convince Pan Yongchun to get the environmental protection facilities done well, because if he wanted to reach the standard of harmlessness, his investment would have to increase by at least tens of millions or even a hundred million, and the cost would also increase significantly. Pan Yongchun came to build a factory, after all, to make money. Could he possibly pay such a huge price?

One must know, he might not necessarily have to build a factory in Shangjun County. As long as he has the willingness to build a factory, countless places are willing to accept him. Su Xinghui believes that Pan Yongchun's friendship with Tian Xiaopeng is not enough for him to make such a huge sacrifice.

While thinking, Su Xinghui smiled and extended his right hand to Pan Yongchun: "President Pan, hello, welcome to our Pengjiawanzhen for inspection."

Tian Xiaopeng introduced: "President Pan, this is Comrade Su Xinghui, the town mayor of Pengjiawanzhen."

Pan Yongchun held the cigar in his mouth, extended his right hand to shake Su Xinghui's hand lightly, and then withdrew his right hand: "Hello, Mayor Su."

Pan Yongchun's action was not polite, but that's also true. As a big boss with a net worth of over 100 million, no matter where he goes, the mayor there is very polite to him. In his view, what does a small town mayor like Su Xinghui count for? Him treating Su Xinghui like this is already polite enough.

Su Xinghui said: "County Magistrate Tian, President Pan, let's go to the conference room to sit for a while."

Tian Xiaopeng nodded and accompanied Pan Yongchun into the town government conference room. After everyone sat down in the conference room, Li Daqing, Liu Yongjun, and others hurriedly brewed tea for everyone, busy for a long while before they brewed tea for everyone.

However, when Pan Yongchun saw the tea leaves in the teacup, he frowned. An assistant beside him took out a bag of tea leaves from the bag he was carrying, and another assistant ran out hurriedly. Not long after, he ran back. He actually brought in a set of tea sets from the car outside, which was exactly the tea set for Mindong people to drink Kung Fu tea.

Pan Yongchun said: "County Magistrate Tian, this is top-grade Dahongpao, let's taste it together."
