Chapter 239: Securing the Land!

After taking the paper and seeing the circled area, Shen Fei was very excited.

Having been reborn with the memories of his previous life, Shen Fei was naturally very clear about the future urban planning of the entire city of Shenzhen.

When it came to acquiring land, the area he had his eye on naturally included the Baiyun District.

After all, with the rapid development of society in the future, Baiyun District would become a very important industrial area in Shenzhen.

Although Baiyun District was developing very slowly at the moment, in just one year, the government would implement the next phase of planning there. At that time, all of Shenzhen’s factories and companies would relocate to Baiyun District, making it a distinct but equally crucial industrial area compared to the Port District.

However, when discussing land acquisition, Shen Fei hadn’t made this request. First, he thought the factory could be built anywhere, and second, he didn’t want to make a bad impression on Yu Guotu!

So, he left the selection of the land entirely up to the government.

What he didn’t expect was that Yu Guotu would give him such a big surprise!

Although the location of the factory for the scar-healing ointment didn’t matter, Baiyun District was by far the best place for the factory!

“Xiao Shen, what do you think of this place? Just based on the meal you made for me, I’ll say a few more words!”

Yu Guotu noticed the glimmer of excitement in Shen Fei’s eyes and quickly said in one breath,

“This area, although it’s a bit desolate right now, and the government hasn’t explicitly stated what the future plans are, it will soon become one of the most important industrial zones in Shenzhen! Considering the overall development of the city, the economic focus is in the city center, the northern district connects to the harbor, and the transportation is very convenient. Baiyun District, although close, remains undeveloped. If it is developed in the future, it will be able to connect to the northern district, forming a central hub. Then, Baiyun District, along with the northern district, will surely become a key part of Shenzhen’s economic development plan! A good location in exchange for a meal—what a bargain!”

To be honest, Yu Guotu had some real ability to be the city’s top leader.

Otherwise, how could he see the future urban planning and development of Baiyun District so clearly?

“With what Secretary Yu said, if you want to eat my cooking in the future, just let me know! I really appreciate it!” Shen Fei smiled calmly.

He naturally understood Yu Guotu’s good intentions.

The land in Baiyun District being allocated to him was probably also due to Yu Guotu’s encouragement behind the scenes.

“Xiao Shen, if you’re saying that, then I’ll take you up on it! But, that aside, as long as your XinYue Group doesn’t leave Shenzhen, everything else is negotiable, haha!” Yu Guotu laughed.

“Secretary Yu, you don’t have to worry about that! I have no plans to move XinYue Group out of Shenzhen. With you and the old mayor, I wouldn’t dream of doing that!” Shen Fei said.

“Good, if you say so, then I can rest assured! But your thanks shouldn’t go to me, it should go to the old man! If it weren’t for his help behind the scenes, you wouldn’t have been able to get the green light for all the paperwork! Don’t even talk about the current turnaround in the reputation of the scar-healing ointment, you might not even have gotten the production permit!” Yu Guotu said.

This was indeed the truth.

If it hadn’t been for the help of the old man, Jiang Anbang, Shen Fei wouldn’t have even been able to rename his company from “Pinker Daily” at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

So, the old man had truly been a great help!

“Secretary Yu, I haven’t forgotten the help the old man gave me! I’ll always remember it!” Shen Fei said earnestly.

“Alright, alright, I helped you because I saw that you’re a capable young man who follows the law. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my reputation for this!” Jiang Anbang laughed.

After a pause, he didn’t express the deeper meaning of his words.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Shen Fei’s reminder, his family, the Jiang family, would probably have been finished long ago. They wouldn’t have their current situation.

If anyone should be grateful, it was his family who should thank Shen Fei, not the other way around.

But of course, this couldn’t be said publicly. Otherwise, it would bring trouble to Shen Fei!

“Alright, Xiao Shen, is the land deal confirmed then?” Yu Guotu nodded and waited for Shen Fei’s decision.

“Yes! It’s this one! Thanks to both Secretaries and the government!” Shen Fei said.

“Good, no more thanks. The market price of this land is probably about this much! Also, the factory must be operational within two years, with an annual output value of at least 3 billion and taxes no less than 500 million. Can you accept that?” Yu Guotu raised his hand and set out the conditions.

“Yes! We can definitely start production in a year, and both the output value and tax requirements are no problem!” Shen Fei said firmly.

At this moment, even Jiang Anbang, who was standing beside them, quickly added,

“Xiao Shen, I shouldn’t be the one saying this, but I have to remind you! Your company is still in its early stages, and you wouldn’t have been able to secure a 300-acre plot of land, especially in Baiyun District! This is all thanks to Secretary Yu, who has entrusted the future development of Shenzhen to you! If the scar-healing ointment can achieve good results, that’s great. But if not, this will be a huge stain on Secretary Yu’s political career. More seriously, it could even end his political future!”

“Yes, I understand! Don’t worry, old man, Secretary Yu, I’ll live up to your help!” Shen Fei said.

“This is the greatest help I can offer! But beyond this, you’ll have to deal with the relevant departments yourself and follow the proper procedures!” Yu Guotu smiled and changed the topic.

“Alright! Secretary Yu, thank you so much!” Shen Fei thanked him again.

Just as the words left his mouth, Jiang Anbang asked suspiciously,

“Xiao Shen, I heard from Sheng Cai that you plan to enter the real estate industry next? You’re even teaming up with Duan Guoxiang, the son of the mining tycoon from Bincheng? Tiancheng and Yuantai are also joining you… Have you thought this through?”

The sudden change of topic caught Yu Guotu off guard.

His mind blanked as he caught the word “real estate” in Jiang Anbang’s sentence…

This kid, who had just reversed the reputation of the scar-healing ointment, was already planning to turn his attention elsewhere?

Was he aiming for the unstable real estate industry now?

From his dealings with Shen Fei, Yu Guotu truly believed that Shen Fei was a rare business talent. However, he was trying to expand his business too quickly, which seemed a little too hasty.

“Xiao Shen, do you understand the current situation of the real estate industry? Your scar-healing ointment is still in the early stages, and you’re already planning your next move. Isn’t that a bit premature?” Yu Guotu asked with concern.

But as soon as he spoke, he remembered that when he first met Shen Fei, Shen Fei had mentioned plans to invest in high-end real estate!
