"Next, I'm going to Sanhai Province. While I'm away, you, Qin Yan, and Cheng Lu, the three of you will manage the economy of Mingshan City for me."
Chen Feng said directly.
"Understood, Brother Feng. Go to Sanhai Province with peace of mind to discuss the loan. We will definitely manage Mingshan City's economy well."
Li Hongling immediately expressed her stance.
Chen Feng didn't waste any time and headed straight to Sanhai Province.
Chen Feng did not return to a familiar place, Sandong City.
The development there was quite good now, and there was no need for him to stir up the emotions of the women who liked him there.
Chen Feng went directly to the provincial capital of Sanhai Province.
"Chen Feng, if I remember correctly, you stayed in Sandong City before?"
The president of the Provincial Development Bank asked with a furrowed brow.
"Director Feng, you have a good memory. I did indeed lay low and conduct research in Sandong City a few years ago. To be honest, the experience of developing the economy in Sandong City, Sanhai Province, has greatly helped Sanshui Province. The strong provincial capital economic strategy that Sanshui Province implemented at first was indeed effective. However, in the later stages, there were too many drawbacks. Later, I studied the economic development model of Sanhai Province in detail and systematically. After Sanshui Province learned from it, it immediately found the secret to soaring once again!"
Chen Feng spoke frankly and directly.
"Just for that, I can approve the loan for your Mingshan City. However, Mingshan City is just a county-level city, too small in scale. Even if I wanted to give you a loan, I couldn't. We are a development bank, dedicated to assisting urban economic development. A single loan is in the tens of billions or hundreds of billions. Does Mingshan City have a demand for tens or hundreds of billions in funds? Even going back a step, if Mingshan City has a demand for tens or hundreds of billions in loans, do you have the ability to repay it?"
Director Feng questioned him directly.
"Director Feng, I won't answer these questions. No matter how perfect my answers are, you might not believe them. How about this, Director Feng, I'll take you to Mingshan City to personally experience it for a few days. After a few days of experiencing it, you'll know what kind of city Mingshan City is."
Chen Feng got straight to the point.
"I am the president of the Development Bank. Is it appropriate for me to go out with a client?"
Director Feng said deliberately.
"I'm not going out with me, I'm just investigating a client."
Chen Feng deliberately said the words "investigating a client" very loudly.
"Yes, it's just investigating a client."
Director Feng understood with a smile.
His impression of Chen Feng immediately improved significantly.
He was a young man who knew how to get things done.
Thus, that afternoon, Director Feng accompanied Chen Feng to Mingshan City.
Initially, Chen Feng did not take Director Feng around Mingshan City, but instead led Director Feng to inspect the four key industries of Mingshan City.
After Director Feng saw them, he was very excited.
Mingshan City was definitely a city full of potential and vitality. No matter how much money was lent to it, the costs would eventually be recovered.
"Chen Feng, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to develop Mingshan City so well. It doesn't look like a county-level city at all. Its development speed and prospects are even better than Sanhai Province. To be honest, I didn't expect such economic talent in China's inland regions."
Director Feng said excitedly.
Mingshan City, such a rising star city in China with boundless prospects, suddenly approached him, the Development Bank of Sanhai Province, asking for a huge loan, which was like a windfall.
"Director Feng, you flatter me. If you think Mingshan City's economy is alright, then about the loan?"
Chen Feng asked softly.
"Don't worry, however much loan you want, the Development Bank of Sanhai Province will provide it."
Director Feng replied earnestly.
"Since Director Feng is so straightforward, I won't play games. Director Feng, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Chen Feng said seriously.
"Chen Feng, I have a question for you. As the vice mayor of Mingshan City, what is your capability?"
Director Feng looked at Chen Feng earnestly.
Chen Feng was an old hand in politics, and he immediately understood what Director Feng meant.
To put it plainly, Director Feng didn't want to "play," perhaps he had something he needed help with.
"Director Feng, please rest assured, the capability of this vice mayor is not insignificant, nor is it negligible. No matter what you need, I will do my best to help you solve it."
Chen Feng said sincerely.
"Chen Feng, it's refreshing and easy to deal with you. Let's just say, I've experienced all the 'plays' in the political arena in Sanhai Province. So, I'm not in a hurry to 'play.' On the other hand, there's a persistent worry of mine that I haven't been able to resolve..."
Director Feng said with a troubled expression.
Chen Feng had a clearer understanding.
For a provincial development policy bank president like Director Feng, his worries were definitely not ordinary.
However, to be fair, the more serious and difficult Director Feng's worry was to resolve, the better.
If Director Feng's worry could be easily resolved, then it wouldn't be a worry, and he wouldn't have leverage for a transaction with Director Feng.
"Director Feng, please tell me, what is your worry? I will definitely do my best to help you resolve it."
Chen Feng said with determination.
"It's like this, I have a daughter, and she wants to study at Capital University, but her scores are very low..."
Director Feng no longer concealed it and spoke the truth directly.
"Director Feng, I understand what you mean. You are distressed because your daughter's grades are not good, but your daughter wants to enter Capital University, a 985 key university in China."
"Yes, that's what I mean. To be honest, I've tried many methods, but none worked. Because Capital University is a key 985 university, I could easily get my daughter into other universities with a little money. However, Capital University is not about spending money."
Director Feng said with distress.
"Director Feng, you don't need to worry, I can handle this."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Chen Feng, are you perhaps trying to trick me into approving a huge loan from the Development Bank of Sanhai Province by intentionally making me happy? Let me tell you, you can't deceive people. Once my daughter can't get into Capital University, even if I've already issued a huge loan to Mingshan City, I can recall the huge loan in advance. This will be beneficial to no one."
Director Feng said sternly.
"Director Feng, you can rest assured about this. I am an old hand in politics and am not foolish enough to try to deceive a provincial bank president. That would be digging my own grave, and I'm not that foolish, I definitely wouldn't do that."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"If that's the case, then explain to me how you plan to get my daughter into Capital University. It's impossible through the college entrance examination; my daughter's recent mock exam in May of her third year of high school only got over two hundred points in total. There's only one month left, and no matter how she studies or makes up for it, it will be futile. Early admission is also impossible; my daughter's grades wouldn't allow for early admission. Furthermore, the early admission exams have long since passed."
Director Feng said anxiously.
"Director Feng, we are now very close friends, so I won't hide anything from you. I have a very good relationship with a professor at Capital University, and he can help. Capital University, as a 985 university, has an unwritten rule: any professor who enjoys national subsidies and has taught at Capital University for ten full years can have one relative admitted to Capital University without an exam and with tuition waived, with a major of their choice."
Chen Feng explained word by word.
"Ah? There's such a regulation? How come I didn't know?"
Director Feng asked excitedly.
"Such under-the-table regulations are definitely kept secret. If they were publicized, they would definitely cause social dissatisfaction."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"The problem is, for such a huge opportunity, would your professor friend be willing to give it up...?"
Director Feng asked doubtfully.
