Chapter 2754: Development in Shazhou

Qin Feng opened the bag curiously and took a look. It contained a hand-knitted sweater.

Qin Feng didn't say anything and handed the bag to Zhang Xinming. Zhang Xinming took a look at the bag and then put it in Qin Feng's bedroom.

"Mr. Xiao, it's already very late. You've been waiting for me for several hours today, and you must be very tired. Let's not beat around the bush and get down to business," said Qin Feng.

"Okay." Xiao Jianan nodded and handed Qin Feng a cigarette.

"Recently, the Shazhou Municipal Government is organizing a comprehensive inspection of major projects in Shazhou. Although the inspection work has just begun, it is foreseeable that major problems will be found in some projects. If the problems are serious, we will definitely directly ask the other party to clear the site and replace the construction party." Qin Feng said to Xiao Jianan while smoking a cigarette.

"Mayor Qin wants me to take over these cleared projects?" Xiao Jianan understood what Qin Feng meant.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, we are not outsiders, and today's discussion is not formal. We are just chatting among friends and talking about family matters, so just say whatever you want to say, there is no need to hide anything."

"Friendship between us is friendship, but my work is work and your business is business, so we must keep our public and private lives separate."

"And I also think that our conversation today should be straightforward, otherwise it will waste a lot of time and energy and delay our work." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, Mayor Qin, I will speak frankly. Please forgive me if I am offensive." Xiao Jianan said.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Xinming went over and took the tea and several plates of washed fruits that were brought in.

Zhang Xinming put the fruit on the table and went to make tea.

"Mr. Meng, I'm ashamed to say that I specially invited you to Ganliang but didn't treat you anything. But fortunately, the people below are capable. These fruits are specialties of Ganliang. You can try them." Qin Feng greeted Meng Dan.

"Mr. Xiao, please continue." Qin Feng continued to talk to Xiao Jianan.

"Mayor Qin, regarding the matter you just mentioned, if it is a requirement of your work, then I have nothing to say. No matter how difficult it is or how high the cost is, I will take on the task as long as you need me to." Xiao Jianan expressed his opinion.

Qin Feng was very clear about Xiao Jianan's thoughts and smiled. "Boss Xiao, I told you, public affairs are public affairs and private affairs are private affairs. Although I invited you to Ganliang as a friend, we are discussing business tonight."

"In that case, I'll tell you the truth." Xiao Jianan nodded.

At this time, Zhang Xinming came over with three cups of tea. Since there was no tea set in the room, Zhang Xinming brewed tea in teacups.

"Mayor Qin, as you know, I've been slowly downsizing my construction company since I was in Dongyang. Since then, my main business has been real estate."

"We have maintained the scale of the engineering company over the years only as a support for the real estate business. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the engineering company's profits are too low and cannot be compared with the real estate company at all." Xiao Jianan said while smoking.

"And you know, this kind of mid-process clearance project is the most difficult and risky. I'm an outsider and unfamiliar with the sandbar. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon can't defeat a local snake, and I'm not a powerful dragon, so... from a purely business perspective, the profit is too low, the trouble is too great, and the risk is too great. It's not worth trying."

"But I still say the same thing. If Mayor Qin needs you, just say one word and I will go through fire and water to avoid it. I won't say a word more." Xiao Jianan immediately expressed his position after he finished speaking.

Xiao Jianan is also a smart guy. His whole speech not only expressed his difficulties and wishes, but also did not offend Qin Feng. He has said so much, how can Qin Feng have the nerve to force him to go?

Xiao Jianan was also very disappointed. He originally thought that Qin Feng called him over to ask him to go with him to Shazhou to do real estate development. With Qin Feng as the mayor, how could he not make a lot of money.

But he didn't expect that Qin Feng wanted him to help take over the unfinished project, which means cleaning up the mess. This kind of project is a taboo in the engineering industry, and no one is willing to take it over. The difficulties Xiao Jianan mentioned are real, and he did not exaggerate at all.

"Try some fruit." Qin Feng was not angry at all. He smiled and personally handed a piece of fruit to Xiao Jianan.

"Thank you, Mayor Qin."

"Although I'm not an expert in the engineering industry, I've been involved in a lot of engineering projects over the years, not to mention being in charge of local government, so I have a pretty good idea of ​​the general situation in the industry."

"I am also quite familiar with the work related to site clearance and contractor change. After all, we have already cooperated once in Dongyang, and it was very successful."

"So, Mr. Xiao, I am well aware of the many difficulties that exist in these engineering projects. What you just said is indeed true."

"And Mr. Xiao, I have to give you a heads-up in advance. The situation on the sandbar is complicated. If you take over these projects, the difficulties and risks you encounter will definitely be greater than you imagine." Qin Feng said very seriously.

"But risks and rewards are often directly proportional. First of all, I can guarantee you one thing: if you take over these cleared projects this time, you will definitely not lose money. Instead, you will be profitable, and the profits will be quite generous."

"Because the prices of these projects were manipulated when the budgets were assessed and the bidding process was conducted, the profit margins are very large."

"This time, I will clear them out. I will use administrative means to force you to keep the profits from the project. They won't make a single cent."

"Of course, if you take over, you must strictly cooperate with the government. This is crucial and the main reason why I asked you to come here."

Qin Feng paused, took two puffs of his cigarette, and continued, "Mr. Xiao, before you decide whether or not to come to Shazhou to develop, I want to explain to you the entire risk, difficulties, and profit prospects. As for whether to come or not, that's up to you."

"I can tell you clearly that the replacement of contractors for several major projects is a major political move by Shazhou City. Within Shazhou City, there exists a stubborn and powerful interest group that has ties to all aspects of Shazhou. This attack is targeting the interests of this interest group, so the risks and difficulties you will face will be enormous, greater than you can imagine."

"As for the benefits... the first point of benefit is the profit from undertaking these projects. I have just made this very clear, but this is only the first point of benefit." Qin Feng said slowly.
