Chapter 915

After visiting Pengjiawanzhen for a day, Hou Guangbi returned to Shangjun County and took the initiative to sign an investment intention agreement with the Shangjun County government. The agreement stipulated that the French Hou Group would invest no less than ten million US dollars in the first phase in Pengjiawanzhen, Shangjun County, to build an electrical appliance factory.

The signing of this investment intention agreement made Ji Tao and Zhang Shiguang overjoyed. They finally signed this investment intention agreement before the end of the year, and the first phase of investment was no less than ten million US dollars. This is an astronomical figure!

In the past few years, the entire Yulin City has not had a single project with an investment exceeding ten million US dollars. It is conceivable that if this investment from the Hou family lands, it will be a huge highlight.

Even if it is just an intention agreement now, it is enough to add a heavy stroke to their political achievements. This project will also become a huge driving force for the economic development of Shangjun County. As long as the project lands, the GDP growth rate of Shangjun County can continue to maintain a strong momentum of about thirty percent.

After signing the investment intention agreement, Hou Guangbi let his eldest son, Hou Dajun, return to France. He asked Hou Dajun to represent him at the family members' meeting to discuss the matter of making this investment. It would be better if other family members could agree. If they did not agree, Hou Guangbi planned to use his private property to make this investment, and Hou Dajun would fully represent him in handling related matters.

Just as Hou Guangbi himself said, to have a kindness unrequited is to be unworthy of being human. Since he promised Su Xinghui, he must do his best to land this investment in Pengjiawanzhen.

Hou Guangbi also sent his second son, Hou Dajun, to Jiangcheng, asking him to investigate the current situation of the domestic electrical appliance industry and make a feasibility report and project plan as soon as possible. Hou Guangbi let his two grandsons and one granddaughter follow Hou Dajun to Jiangcheng, letting them familiarize themselves with the situation and the operation and management methods of related domestic industries as soon as possible. He also planned to let them manage this new factory in the future.

After sending his children and grandchildren away, Hou Guangbi settled down in the old house in Zhuangyuan Lane, playing chess with Hou Dali every day and walking around the street, looking just like an ordinary old man from Shangjun.

Su Xinghui accompanied him for another day, and Hou Guangbi let him return to Pengjiawanzhen. He knew that Su Xinghui was a town mayor and did not know how many affairs he had every day, so he could not spend all his time accompanying him.

Su Xinghui had indeed delayed too much time for this matter. He was a little worried about the town, so he told Hou Guangbi that he would go to the town first and come back to see him after he was busy with this period.

Returning to the town, Su Xinghui first asked Liu Yongjun about the vegetable sales in recent days. He had always let Liu Yongjun keep an eye on this matter. Tong Yuejin's ability was poor and his selfishness was heavy, so he did not trust Tong Yuejin at all.

Liu Yongjun told him that more and more vegetables have been on the market every day these days. During this period, the average vegetable sales of the entire Pengjiawanzhen can reach more than 200,000 yuan.

Liu Yongjun's words made Su Xinghui very satisfied. It is not yet the peak season for large-scale vegetable listing, and it is indeed very good to have such sales. Moreover, these vegetable peddlers who purchase vegetables all use cash to purchase. This cash can effectively improve the living standards of the common people and stimulate the commercial prosperity of Pengjiawanzhen.

Su Xinghui still has an ambition. He wants to build Pengjiawanzhen into another central town in Shangjun County. If he wants to become a central town, he cannot just have agriculture, but also industry and commerce.

If the Hou family's investment can really land in Pengjiawanzhen, it will be very good news for the industry of Pengjiawanzhen, because a large electrical appliance factory does not exist in isolation. It needs a batch of supporting enterprises, so that a batch of enterprises can be cultivated in Pengjiawanzhen.

And when the common people have money in their hands, they naturally need to buy things, which is also a good stimulus for the commerce and service industry of Pengjiawanzhen.

After returning to the town government, Su Xinghui immediately presided over a town mayor's office meeting. The main content of this meeting was to study the related preparatory work for the Hou family's investment, including land acquisition work. Hou Guangbi had already taken a fancy to a piece of land last time, which was a piece of land less than one kilometer east of the town government, with an area of about 100 mu. Although the investment has not landed yet, the town needs to carry out some related work.

The compensation plan related to land acquisition must be made now, and this plan must satisfy and be accepted by both the investor and the common people, especially for the future work and life of the landless people, it must be arranged well so that they cannot lose their source of livelihood.

Now that the work is done in advance, the three-connections and one-leveling work can be started immediately after the Hou family confirms the investment, so that the Hou family's factory can enter the construction stage as soon as possible and generate benefits as soon as possible.

As soon as Su Xinghui revealed the news that the Hou family was going to invest in Pengjiawanzhen, the attendees were excited. A huge investment of ten million US dollars was going to land in Pengjiawan. This is a great thing for everyone. Not to mention anything else, a huge political achievement fell on their heads for nothing. Isn't this enough?

The news of the Hou family's huge investment in Pengjiawanzhen spread like wildfire in Pengjiawanzhen. The common people of Pengjiawanzhen told each other. In this day and age, everyone knows what such a huge investment means. This is a great thing for the entire Pengjiawanzhen.

This news is of course a great thing for Shangjun County and Pengjiawanzhen, but for some people, it may not be good news.

On this day, Ge Honglin went to see Zhang Shiguang again. He said to Zhang Shiguang, "Secretary Shiguang, I received news that the Hou family has signed an investment intention agreement with Shangjun County, preparing to invest ten million US dollars in the first phase in Shangjun County!"

An investment of ten million US dollars is not a small amount even for Jiangcheng. You know, the total amount of foreign investment introduced in the country in the nineties was only tens of billions of US dollars. Ten million US dollars can be considered a large investment, not to mention that the Hou family's strength is far more than that. This is just the first phase of investment!

Losing this investment, Ge Honglin's heart aches! If Su Xinghui were standing in front of him at this time, he would love to go up and bite Su Xinghui a few times.

Zhang Shiguang frowned and said, "Is this news true?"

Ge Honglin said, "It's true. A friend of mine in the Shangjun County Committee told me."

Zhang Shiguang said, "Shangjun County has the ability. So quickly let the Hou family make up their minds? The Hou family doesn't consider Jiangcheng at all? In any case, the various conditions of Jiangcheng are much better than Shangjun County!"

Ge Honglin said, "That old man Hou has already let his two sons do the preliminary preparation work for this investment project. It seems that he has indeed made up his mind. I also don't understand why he made up his mind so quickly. Obviously, our Jiangcheng's various conditions are far stronger than Shangjun County. I think it's just that old man Hou was bewitched by that kid surnamed Su."

Zhang Shiguang said, "Then tell me, how did that kid surnamed Su bewitch old man Hou?"
