Chapter 2662: Mr. Zhao’s Visit

On this day, the weather was fine and the weather was nice. Sun Hai was in the mayor's office, reviewing the recent economic work report of Guangzhou, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Sun Hai habitually said, "Come in," and then he heard an unfamiliar voice: "Hello, Mayor Sun."

"you are?"

Sun Hai looked up, then frowned slightly.

The young man who walked in had a cunning look on his face and dark circles under his eyes, looking very evil.

He said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Youzhi..."

Before Zhao Youzhi could finish his words, Sun Hai asked with a sullen face, "How did you get in?"

It is extremely impolite to walk into the office without notifying a leader of Sun Hai's level.

Zhao Youzhi was slightly stunned, then curled his lips and said, "Mayor Sun is so powerful! Not to mention your office, even the major ministries in Yanjing, I, Young Master Zhao, can enter them whenever I want. Why are you showing off to me?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Sun Hai was originally very angry, but when he heard the three words "Young Master Zhao", his heart suddenly moved slightly. He had never seen Zhao Youzhi, but he had heard of his name for a long time, especially because this Young Master Zhao was beaten up by Liu Fusheng in the Federation.

"Wait, you are Zhao Youzhi?"

Sun Hai asked hurriedly.

Zhao Youzhi stopped and said proudly, "Why, Mayor Sun knows me?"

Sun Hai suppressed his discomfort and nodded slowly, saying, "Of course I've heard of Mr. Zhao's name, but we don't even know each other. What are you doing here?"

Zhao Youzhi swaggered down on the sofa and said, "Mayor Sun, we didn't know each other before, but now we do. I came to you with great sincerity this time."

"Oh?"

Sun Hai motioned for him to continue.

Liu Fusheng did not tell Sun Hai about Zhao Youzhi in detail, but Sun Hai was well-informed and already knew that this Mr. Zhao was the head of Zhixiong Group.

Seeing Sun Hai remained silent, Zhao Youzhi was somewhat displeased. "Mayor Sun, when I went to Pengcheng, the city leaders came to greet me and respectfully arranged for my food and lodging. So, I came to you in person, and you didn't even offer me a cup of tea?"

Sun Hai frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, your Zhixiong Group is planning to invest in Pengcheng. How could I look down on you? It's just that you came too suddenly, and I was not prepared."

Zhao Youzhi cleared his throat and said, "Actually, for our Zhixiong Group, Pengcheng and Yangcheng are pretty much the same. Besides, I prefer people calling me President Zhao."

Sun Hai: “…”

It was obvious that he also called himself "Master Zhao".

"Mr. Zhao is in Yangcheng, what's going on?"

Sun Hai stood up, poured a glass of water for Zhao Youzhi, and then asked.

Zhao Youzhi curled his lips and said, "Nothing. I heard that Guangzhou is the provincial capital and a world of entertainment, so I wanted to come and see it. But after a stroll around, I found that it's not as fun as I imagined. Mayor Sun, do you understand what I mean?"

Sun Hai said seriously, "Do you think there's something about Guangzhou that's not well-developed?"

"Not at all."

Zhao Youzhi waved his hand and said, "According to the standards of a provincial capital, Guangzhou is pretty standard. I just think you need star companies to make the city more eye-catching. For example, Zhixiong Group has the ability to make Guangzhou a better place. Mayor Sun, do you understand what I mean?"

Sun Hai endured it again and again. It was almost harder than climbing to the sky to get someone like Zhao Youzhi to speak properly.

"Mr. Zhao, you want to invest? Welcome, you're most welcome."

Zhao Youzhi said with a smile: "You should know that Zhixiong Group is very powerful and has a cooperative relationship with Caesar Group. We have invested a lot of money in Pengcheng, but..."

Sun Hai was too lazy to support him, he just looked at him indifferently, still without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Youzhi could only continue, "Later, I discovered that Pengcheng's conditions were inferior to those of Guangzhou in all aspects. I still had a large sum of money in my pocket that I hadn't spent, and the old man told me that I had to spend it in Guangdong Province. So, I had no choice but to come to you."

Sun Hai knocked on the table and said, "As far as I know, the investments in Pengcheng haven't been fully implemented by Zhixiong Group yet, right?"

Zhao Youzhi said seriously, "That's right. What we need to do is transfer the investment from Pengcheng to Yangcheng."

Sun Hai: "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea, right?"

Zhao Youzhi: "Mayor Sun, I hope you've thought this through before you speak... Do you know how much I originally planned to invest in Pengcheng? 500 billion! At least 500 billion!"

Sun Hai was surprised, not knowing whether Zhao Youzhi was bragging or really had the ability.

Zhao Youzhi said proudly, "In Pengcheng, I plan to invest in two large-scale industrial parks, seven real estate projects targeting different consumer groups, two comprehensive supermarkets, and a world-class tourist attraction that will be built with huge investment. The 50 billion yuan budget is just the first step. I focus on quality, not price."

Sun Hai watched his exaggerated performance and knew that there must be something wrong with this guy.

Zhao Youzhi thought Sun Hai had been intimidated by him, so he continued, "Yangcheng and Pengcheng are sister cities, so they must be compared with each other in all aspects. You are the mayor of Yangcheng and you are responsible for Yangcheng. No matter how well Pengcheng develops, it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh, I almost forgot. You're also the head of the Provincial Department of Commerce, and you have to take into account the economic development of the entire province. However, Pengcheng is a separately planned city, enjoying the second-tier national fiscal system and only paying taxes to the national level. It has nothing to do with eastern Guangdong. On the contrary, Yangcheng is a third-tier fiscal system. Only when Yangcheng develops can it effectively boost the various indicators of eastern Guangdong."

Sun Hai smiled slightly and said in agreement with Zhao Youzhi, "That's right. Mr. Zhao has indeed done a thorough study."

Zhao Youzhi said, "I like to speak directly. Mayor Sun, please tell me whether you support my investment in Yangcheng."

Sun Hai smiled and said, "Of course I fully support Mr. Zhao's idea."

Zhao Youzhi waved his hand and said, "That's fine. I'll send someone to see you tomorrow. This matter is settled."

Sun Hai quickly asked, "What about Pengcheng's follow-up investment?"

Zhao Youzhi said nonchalantly, "I'll do my best to implement what's already been agreed upon. We're not short of money anyway, but more projects will definitely be transferred to you. Mayor Sun, I'm a man of action and I don't like procrastination. My people will come over tomorrow to sign a contract with you. Don't hold us back."

Sun Hai narrowed his eyes, thinking about what Zhao Youzhi was planning.

Is he in such a hurry to come here and sign the contract? Is he doing business, or just wanting to sign an agreement?

On the surface, Sun Hai remained calm, said a few perfunctory words to Zhao Youzhi, and finally sent him away.

Half an hour later, Sun Hai thought about it and decided to call Liu Fusheng to report the situation.
