Chapter 1781

Thus, Shao Dejin nodded and said, "When your project officially launches, we will talk about the details. I will do my best."

Shao Dejin didn't need to say much more; Su Xinghui already understood his meaning. He stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, when the project starts, I will have people from Jiangyou Province come to talk to you about the details. I hope we can cooperate happily! You should get some rest."

Shao Dejin nodded and said, "Alright, I hope we cooperate happily."

The reason Su Xinghui sought Shao Dejin for financing was not because he couldn't get funding from the Hou family group; on the contrary, as long as he asked Hou Guangbi, Hou Guangbi would certainly help him. However, Su Xinghui didn't want to rely too heavily on the Hou family group, as that wouldn't be good for his own growth.

Shao Dejin's Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group was also a company with massive cash flow, making it an excellent choice for financing this project.

Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu came to Changshan after the Lantern Festival, as did Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong. They all had businesses in Changshan, so they always visited a few times a year.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya treated them to a meal. After the meal, Yu Ruizhi found an opportunity to be alone with Su Xinghui and said to him, "I've entrusted someone in Yangcheng; that matter is no longer a problem."

Su Xinghui knew Yu Ruizhi was talking about Wang Liu. Since Yu Ruizhi said it was no problem, it certainly wasn't. He said sincerely to Yu Ruizhi, "Brother Yu, thank you!"

Yu Ruizhi laughed and said, "You really should thank me this time. When I asked someone to look after Wang Liu, others thought I had something going on with her and teased me. Damn it, if they weren't brothers, I would have made them pay."

Su Xinghui felt very embarrassed and said, "Brother Yu, this really wronged you."

Yu Ruizhi laughed heartily and said, "Enough, let's not talk about such things between us. As long as you do well in the future, this matter I did for you won't have been in vain."

The day after Yu Ruizhi arrived in Changshan, Yu Junchu also arrived. As soon as he saw Su Xinghui, he said excitedly, "Xinghui, I have convinced the leaders in charge in our province. They have agreed to apply for this project, and the province will do its utmost to raise funds."

Su Xinghui was not surprised by this at all. If the leaders of Jiangyou Province couldn't even grasp such a good opportunity, they would be truly hopeless. Moreover, Yu Junchu was a core descendant whom the Yu family was focusing on cultivating; who wouldn't give him this face?

Who would be foolish enough to refuse such easily attainable political achievements and offend the Yu family instead?

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Brother Junchu, this is truly good news. I also have some good news for you: I have already found the first financing company for you."

Su Xinghui told Yu Junchu the results of his talk with Shao Dejin, which made Yu Junchu incredibly excited.

Although Yu Junchu came from the Yu family, this was his first time serving as such a practical leader at the grassroots level, and it was his first time getting involved in such a large project. His experience in this area was not yet rich, and he had imagined the difficulty to be very high. But now that the project was progressing so smoothly, how could he not be excited?

Yu Junchu said, "This is truly great."

Su Xinghui said, "How about this, Brother Junchu: let's go to Jiangcheng together tomorrow. I have an appointment with Wang Yibin, the general manager of Jianggang Group. Let's go talk to him about financing."

Yu Junchu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow."

The process of meeting Wang Yibin in Jiangcheng was also very smooth. Jianggang was a super-large enterprise ten times the size of Jiangcheng Meat Processing, with annual cash flow in the tens of billions. This was naturally an excellent financing channel.

Moreover, Jianggang had embarked on the path of diversified management earlier than Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group. Therefore, after Wang Yibin heard the introduction of the project from Su Xinghui and Yu Junchu, he didn't need much thought before immediately agreeing to the project.

With the addition of these two large enterprises, Jiangcheng Meat Processing and Jianggang, the financing for the project was basically settled. The capital problem was solved, and the next step was to run the project.

Running the project didn't require Su Xinghui and Yu Junchu to go to Jingcheng, because this matter involved the provincial level. The three provinces would jointly send personnel to Jingcheng to run the project. Since Su Xinghui and Yu Junchu had already done a lot of work in advance and the funding was secured, there was no difficulty in running this project.

Yu Junchu returned to Wushui County. At this time, Tian Xiaopeng found him in Wushui County to discuss the construction of the road from Wushui to Huangqiu.

Su Xinghui had already told Yu Junchu about Tian Xiaopeng's request to him. At the time, Yu Junchu didn't quite understand Su Xinghui, feeling that he was harboring a tiger. However, Su Xinghui convinced him by saying that he wasn't helping Tian Xiaopeng, but the 500,000 people of Huangqiu County.

He said that even if he didn't agree to Tian Xiaopeng's request, Tian Xiaopeng would still be able to rise step by step as long as he fawned over Shen Zhongtian. In that case, what would be the point? It was better to agree to Tian Xiaopeng's request; at least, the actual beneficiaries of Tian Xiaopeng's actions would still be the people of Huangqiu County.

Yu Junchu was convinced by Su Xinghui. Therefore, seeing Tian Xiaopeng today, he wasn't surprised at all. When Tian Xiaopeng talked to him about building the road, he agreed immediately.

In the process of talking to Tian Xiaopeng, Yu Junchu was also observing him. He found that Tian Xiaopeng could indeed be considered a very charming person—he was handsome, elegant, polite, and well-spoken. If he hadn't known about Tian Xiaopeng's previous actions, he might have had a good impression of him upon their first meeting.

However, with the preconceived impression, Yu Junchu slowly saw the gloom hidden in Tian Xiaopeng's smile. He couldn't help but think of Geng Bo and Su Xinghui's evaluation of Tian Xiaopeng: a "snake." This animal truly fit Tian Xiaopeng's temperament perfectly.

The details of the cooperation between the two sides to build the road were also quickly settled. With the mature framework of the Changwu Highway, these things were not difficult to negotiate. Both sides also cooperated to establish a Huangwu Highway Management Co., Ltd., holding shares according to their respective capital contributions. As for the funding problem, except for the World Bank loan, the rest of the funds would be raised by both sides.

Although Tian Xiaopeng said that Huangqiu County was very poor and couldn't come up with money, he had many years of connections. As long as the big framework was set, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find two financing companies. After all, he was the governor's son, which was very intimidating, and the funds they needed to put up for this road weren't much.

After the negotiations ended, Yu Junchu treated Tian Xiaopeng to a meal on behalf of the Wushui County government. Both sides were very polite and smiling at the banquet, but they knew they were not on the same path and could never become true friends.

As time entered March, the new mayor of Yulin City, Luo Huansheng, came to Changshan County for an inspection. This was the first county he inspected in the city after the New Year, and he could be considered to have fulfilled his promise to Su Xinghui by accepting his invitation.

After Su Xinghui took office in Changshan, the former mayor of Yulin City, Ren Guisheng, had never been to Changshan. Luo Huansheng's visit this time was the first time a Yulin mayor had come to inspect Changshan County in two years, so the leaders of Changshan County attached great importance to it.

On this day, County Party Secretary Ling Anguo and County Magistrate Shi Ronghuai led all the county leaders to welcome Luo Huansheng in the northern suburbs of Changshan County. When Luo Huansheng's motorcade arrived, he got out of the car and shook hands with everyone, his face full of smiles, looking very happy.

After shaking hands, Luo Huansheng looked around and said, "This place is not bad. Is this the center of your county?"

Ling Anguo said, "Mayor, this is not the center of our county; this is the northern suburb."

Luo Huansheng looked around again. This time he could see that this place must have been a suburb until recently. If it were the center of the county, there should be more old houses. But at a glance, he saw that these were basically all newly built buildings, without a single old building. This was a typical characteristic of a new urban area.

Luo Huansheng said, "Then you have built this place very well. Really very well!"
