"Yufeng District is also attracting investment?"
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, Yufeng District attracts investment every month, and currently, its momentum is the greatest. I heard that this time, they've hired an investment attraction team with a heavy investment..."
Qin Yan was still worried.
"Interesting. It seems Yufeng District is really going all out."
Chen Feng replied with a light smile.
"They've definitely gone all out. I heard that for one team, the commission can exceed 100 million. That's not the most crucial part, though. The most crucial part is that this investment attraction team is led by Li Jiafeng. You should know Li Jiafeng; he's from the capital and has extraordinary connections in the business world."
Qin Yan said with a complex expression.
If it were any other investment attraction team, Chen Feng's skills would be more than enough to defeat them.
Chen Feng had been in charge of economic affairs at the grassroots level for many years.
Officials in charge of economic affairs would all know how to attract investment.
But the problem was that this time, Li Jiafeng was involved.
What was Li Jiafeng's level in the investment attraction industry?
He was like a top idol in the entertainment industry.
"Deputy District Chief Qin, there's no need to worry. Li Jiafeng is very capable, but can he complete all the investment attraction projects in China? There will inevitably be oversights. This time, for the expansion of Mingshan District, I will avoid direct conflict with Li Jiafeng."
Chen Feng advised Qin Yan.
"You have a point. Li Jiafeng is capable; if he eats the meat, we can drink some of the soup. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Qin Yan felt a bit relieved.
"By the way, Chen Feng, I forgot to ask. If Cheng Lu helps you manage the Mingshan District Development and Reform Commission, what will I do?"
Qin Yan asked immediately.
"You just need to do your job as the Deputy District Chief of Mingshan District."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Is it that simple?"
Qin Yan asked, puzzled.
"It seems simple, but it's not. Deputy District Chief Qin, you also know that recently, all districts in Jiangcheng have been frantically attracting investment. It's bound to be a fierce competition. In such a situation, a stable rear is even more crucial. The Development and Reform Commission and Mingshan District are my rear. For effective investment attraction, the rear must be stable."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
Qin Yan was an old hand in the political arena, and after Chen Feng's explanation, she understood immediately.
Without another word, Qin Yan returned to her office and devoted herself to her work with utmost seriousness.
Chen Feng's most stable rear brought her great joy.
Chen Feng wasted no time and immediately began working on investment attraction.
After a week of intense work, Chen Feng felt dizzy.
It was exactly as Qin Yan had predicted; most of the projects were targeted by Li Jiafeng's investment attraction team.
In other words, to attract investment for the expansion area of Mingshan District, it was unlikely to avoid direct conflict with Li Jiafeng.
After careful consideration, Chen Feng decided that even if he didn't want to clash with Li Jiafeng's team, he had to confront him directly.
The investment attraction project for the expansion area of Mingshan District was the first major undertaking for him and Qin Yan in Mingshan District. If their first attempt failed, how could they establish themselves in the Mingshan District political arena later?
Therefore, Chen Feng set his sights on the American new energy vehicle magnate, Krass.
"Mr. Li, something's wrong, something big is wrong."
A subordinate rushed into Li Jiafeng's office, flustered.
"What's the rush?"
Li Jiafeng frowned and scolded.
"Mr. Li, Krass was originally scheduled to sign with our team. But today, when I called their signing representative, the representative said that due to an unforeseen situation, the signing has been suspended."
The subordinate explained word for word.
"What kind of international joke is this? I personally negotiated the Krass project. We've been talking for half a year. It was a done deal, how could it change?"
Li Jiafeng replied disbelievingly.
"Mr. Li, at first, I didn't believe it either. But facts speak louder than words. The reality is, we didn't sign the contract today."
The subordinate said cautiously.
"Then didn't you ask what the unforeseen situation was?"
Li Jiafeng roared angrily.
"I asked, but the representative wouldn't say."
The subordinate replied with a pained expression.
He was just a nobody, destined to be caught between two sides.
"Useless."
After scolding his subordinate, Li Jiafeng went directly to the Krass representative.
"Mr. Li, why are you here?"
The representative was stunned.
"Such a large cooperative project, and the signing is suddenly stopped. I'm anxious, so I came uninvited to inquire about the situation. Everything is ready, just waiting for the final signature, why aren't you signing?"
Li Jiafeng asked directly.
"This, can I not say?"
The representative replied softly.
"Business is business, and friendship remains even if the deal doesn't go through. Even if we don't sign in the end, it doesn't matter, we're still friends."
Li Jiafeng pressed.
Seeing that he could no longer conceal it, the representative told the truth.
Originally, Krass's new energy vehicle project was planned to be built in Yufeng District. However, man proposes, God disposes. Another district in Jiangcheng offered even greater preferential terms, so Krass was preparing to switch districts.
"Mr. John, have you been deceived? In Jiangcheng, how could there be an area with stronger investment attraction than Yufeng District?"
Li Jiafeng asked with disbelief.
"Mr. Li, at first, I didn't believe it either. But when Mingshan District revealed its preferential policies, I believed it."
John said earnestly.
"Mingshan District? Are you talking about that Mingshan District that was just incorporated into Jiangcheng?"
Li Jiafeng was stunned.
Mingshan District was essentially just a town. How could its investment attraction policies be stronger than Yufeng District's?
"Yes, it's this Mingshan District."
John admitted directly.
From then on, the probability of cooperating with Mingshan District was ninety percent, and there was nothing to hide.
"Mr. John, let's be frank. Yufeng District is determined to secure the Krass project. We're willing to do it even if we don't make a profit, or even if we lose money. Whatever terms Mingshan District offers, Yufeng District will offer one level higher."
Li Jiafeng said without thinking.
Just as a monk strives for a stick of incense, a person strives for a breath of air.
Even if it meant losing money, they absolutely could not let Mingshan District win.
Yufeng District was an established developed district. If it lost in investment attraction to a newly emerging town-level district, how would Yufeng District maintain its dignity?
"I'm sorry, we'll cooperate again next time."
John said apologetically.
To be honest, the investment attraction terms offered by Yufeng District were also top-notch in the whole of China, making them hard to refuse.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Suddenly, Mingshan District appeared and raised the bar for investment attraction to the ceiling.
It could be said to be the pinnacle of investment attraction preferential terms.
"Mr. John, did I hear that correctly? The preferential terms of a small Mingshan District are still inferior to Yufeng District? How is that possible? Mr. John, you need to think carefully. What is Yufeng District's annual output value, and what is Mingshan District's output value?"
Li Jiafeng tried to persuade John with a frustrated expression.
"Mr. Li, I understand your feelings. To be honest, I didn't believe it at first either, how could such a small district have stronger preferential terms than Yufeng District. But facts speak louder than words. The preferential treatment that Mingshan District is offering to the Krass project this time is not only irresistible to me, but also irresistible to Krass's senior management."
John explained earnestly.
"Mr. John, I'm truly curious, what preferential policy does Mingshan District have that Yufeng District cannot offer?"
Li Jiafeng felt like he was suffocating.
For decades, Yufeng District had never encountered a strong rival. Now, a town-level district was causing Yufeng District to stumble.
Who would believe it if this were told?
