Chapter 1755 I Don’t Agree with Wang Bingrong

"Lao Cao, there are no outsiders here, so I will call you this. Let's have a few private and heartfelt words today." This was the first time Qin Feng called Cao Changsheng this.

"We have been working together for more than a year, and we have experienced many things, big and small, together in Yian."

"After I came to Yian, was there anything I did for my personal benefit?" Qin Feng asked Cao Changsheng.

"I, Qin Feng, am not very noble. I cannot be completely selfless, but it is my principle to distinguish between public and private. I never put my personal interests above the collective interests, especially the interests of the people." Qin Feng said while smoking.

"I know why you came to see me today. It is true that some unpleasant things happened between Wang Bingrong and me, but I will not bring these things into work, and you should not consider my personal thoughts." Qin Feng said finally.

When Cao Changsheng heard Qin Feng say this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "I am judging others by my own standards."

"You are too polite. This matter is a matter of official business. From your government's perspective, you should do what you need to do."

Cao Changsheng nodded.

"But I still want to express my personal opinion."

"You said."

"First, we should either not do it or not do it. If we do it, we should do it on a large scale and make it look good. We should also treat it as a key project. This is the face of our Yi'an County and the name card of our Yi'an County."

"If our Yi'an County was still the poor county it used to be, I wouldn't support this, but now we are building a tourist city, so we must pay attention to our image."

"The city's image, commercial interests, and the enhancement of commercial value to surrounding areas all have to be considered."

"Secondly, you need to take full account of the risks and strictly conduct qualification review and risk control. In recent years, a large number of unfinished projects have appeared in various places, which ultimately put the government in a very passive position. You must fully consider this point."

"Isn't it a small amount of money to develop this project?"

"Yes, according to Wang Bingrong's plan, he intends to invest 200 million."

"Two hundred million? Does Wang Bingrong have that ability?" Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"It is definitely impossible for him to get so much cash at once, but he should be able to get it together by selling everything he has."

"I just said that we must fully consider the risks. Do you think there are any risks in developing this project with Wang Bingrong's ability?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Your reminder does indicate that there are risks, but Secretary, Wang Bingrong's development is purely commercial and our government will not be involved, so our government does not have to bear the entire risk. Moreover, developing this land is also part of our government's development plan, so... I think we can still give it a try." Cao Changsheng expressed his opinion.

"Yes, we don't need to bear the commercial risks, but we can't escape the political and social risks. If such an important piece of land, a prime location, and a city facade is left unfinished, how much impact will it have on the image of our entire Yi'an County?"

"Lao Cao, let me put it this way. We should consider this matter from two aspects and not tie the two things together."

"Wang Bingrong wanting to develop the land is one thing, the government wanting to develop the land is another. These are two separate events."

"This land needs to be developed, and it needs to be developed vigorously. We have actually discussed this before, and I have asked your government to evaluate and plan this matter."

"Indeed, it is impossible for us to come up with this money for our own development, but commercial development is possible. And I think we should not follow Wang Bingrong's idea, but should let the city investment company acquire the land, turn it from raw land to cultivated land, and then the government buys it back and auctions it off."

"At the same time, the development of this land must be based on our government's planning. Developers must follow our government's planning and cannot do whatever they want. Planning is very important."

"Furthermore, the land must be developed as a whole. You can't buy one of the plots to build a shopping mall, Liu Bingrong comes over to buy a plot to build a property, and someone else comes over to build a hotel. This is not acceptable. The land must be developed as a whole and in full compliance with the government's planning requirements."

“Therefore, I do not agree or consent to selling this land to Wang Bingrong.”

"First, Wang Bingrong is not strong enough, so it would be very risky to let him develop the area. Second, an overall plan that meets government requirements must be formed. Third, the entire area must be developed as a whole, not in a retail model. To develop the entire area, I estimate that it would cost at least 1 billion yuan, or even more, and Wang Bingrong does not have the strength to do so."

"I don't want Wang Bingrong to speak entirely from the government's perspective and have nothing to do with my personal thoughts."

"This piece of land is a hot commodity. Wang Bingrong can see its huge commercial value, and so can other people. We will develop the land first, and then hold an auction to attract and invite large companies from other places that are capable, qualified, and experienced to do the work. The risk will be much smaller and the quality will be much better. I think this is the safest way." Qin Feng expressed his opinion.
