214: Chapter 214 Visiting Shenlong Automobile Group

That was the Shenlong Automotive Group!

Even as the mayor of a prefecture-level city, wanting to visit the top management of Shenlong Automotive Group was no easy feat; without a great deal of effort, it would be difficult to see any of them.

A mere County Party Secretary, a division-level official, wanting to visit their top management? He must be dreaming.

Zhang Qun even suspected that visiting the top management of Shenlong Group was just a pretense, and that he might be using the name as an excuse to go to the capital for a few days of fun.

His secretary disclosed, "Leader, I heard from the people in Wanshun County that Secretary Qin's visit to the top management of Shenlong Automotive Group is mainly because he's eyeing their investment of up to twenty billion."

"What twenty billion investment?"

"Leader, I heard from the people in Wanshun County that Secretary Qin heard from somewhere that Shenlong Automotive Group is planning to select a site within several provinces in Central South China to invest twenty billion and build a new energy vehicle manufacturing base."

Heh!

It was simply a toad lusting after swan meat; how could Qin Chuan possibly eye such a massive investment?

To be honest, hearing about an investment of up to twenty billion, Zhang Qun was also very tempted. If he could secure this investment, it would be a massive achievement, beneficial for his further advancement.

But it was just a thought; he knew there was basically no possibility. It wasn't something a mayor could accomplish; at the very least, it would require someone at the governor level.

Knowing that Qin Chuan had gone to the capital with the delusional hope of securing the investment from Shenlong Automotive Group, Zhang Qun sneered incessantly, adopting a spectator's attitude, wanting to see how Qin Chuan would return in disgrace.

Furthermore, he had already planned to summon Qin Chuan and give him a thorough scolding, accusing him of using the opportunity of seeking investment to go to the capital for leisure.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan and his party of several people arrived in the capital very smoothly.

By the time they checked into their hotel, it was already after eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone hadn't had time to eat yet, having only had an in-flight meal on the plane.

Director Hu Bing said, "Secretary Qin, how about we find a restaurant nearby and grab a bite to eat?"

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead. We'll meet at the Shenlong Group headquarters at nine tomorrow morning. Don't worry about me."

Watching Qin Chuan's departing figure, Director Hu Bing thought to himself, could it be that Secretary Qin really has a background in the capital? That would be too impressive.

His guess was somewhat correct; since he had come to the capital, Qin Chuan certainly had to go see his grandfather.

That night, Qin Chuan stayed at the Qin Family residence in the capital and spent a long time chatting with Elder Qin.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Qin Chuan arrived at the Shenlong Automotive Group headquarters on time.

"Secretary!"

"Good morning, Secretary!"

Director Hu Bing, Xia Hai, and the others had arrived long ago. Seeing Qin Chuan approach, they all took the initiative to greet him.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and waved his hand. "Let's go, let's head inside!"

As expected of a super-enterprise and a Fortune Global 500 company, the headquarters building was very grand. Entering it led to a luxurious lobby of several hundred square meters, with floors so polished they could reflect a person's image.

Upon entering the lobby, someone immediately came over to inquire politely.

"Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?"

Qin Chuan said, "I'm looking for your President, President Ma Longfei."

"I'm sorry, do you have an appointment?"

President Ma was not only the top leader and person in charge of Shenlong Automotive Group but also a sub-ministerial level official—a genuine big shot. He wasn't someone just anyone could see.

Director Hu Bing and the others also felt their hearts hang in suspense, a big question mark in their minds: did Qin Chuan have an appointment?

Surely he didn't come without one?

If there was no appointment, they certainly wouldn't be able to see the president.

To their surprise, Qin Chuan smiled easily and took out his phone. "I'll give President Ma a call; we made an appointment yesterday."

What!

That's impossible, right?

The staff of Shenlong Automotive Group were momentarily stunned. What was the background of this young man that he could contact President Ma directly?

Director Hu Bing and the others also looked at Qin Chuan in astonishment, as if they were meeting him for the first time. Their hearts were incredibly shocked: Secretary Qin could actually call President Ma directly!

Under everyone's stunned or shocked gazes, Qin Chuan dialed President Ma Longfei's number. "President Ma, I've arrived at the first-floor lobby of your group's headquarters."

"You've arrived so soon? Knowing that Young Master Qin was coming, I've been waiting expectantly. I'll send my Presidential Assistant down to meet you immediately."

President Ma Longfei was very clear that this was the third generation of the Qin Family, and the only male descendant of that generation. In other words, Qin Chuan was the figure who would carry the flag for the Qin Family in the future. Although he was the president of Shenlong Automotive Group, he didn't dare to put on any airs at all.

In less than two or three minutes, a young man in his thirties came down, very enthusiastic. "You must be Secretary Qin."

"Yes, I am Qin Chuan."

The young man was the Presidential Assistant, and he politely invited, "Secretary Qin, President Ma asked me to bring you up. The President is already waiting for you in the reception room."

"Alright, let's go up then."

Qin Chuan walked ahead with the Presidential Assistant. Director Hu Bing and the others were stunned for a moment, then quickly followed once they snapped out of it.

Their hearts were surging with emotion.

Heavens, this is just like a dream. Not only can Secretary Qin contact the president of Shenlong Automotive Group directly, but they even specifically sent a Presidential Assistant down to welcome him.

Even after sitting down in the luxurious reception room, Director Hu Bing and the others still felt like they were dreaming.

Xia Hai even quietly pinched himself. It was hard to imagine that the man in front of him, who had no airs and was talking and laughing freely, was the president of Shenlong Automotive Group.

Qin Chuan and President Ma Longfei chatted very happily.

Hearty laughter rang out from time to time. After chatting for a few minutes, Qin Chuan got down to business.

"President Ma, I came this time for that twenty billion investment. Could your group's new energy vehicle manufacturing base be placed in our Wanshun County?"

President Ma Longfei certainly knew the purpose of Qin Chuan's visit.

Yesterday, Qin Libei had already spoken to him about it.

This was the future flag-bearer of the Qin Family personally making the request, and he himself was considered part of the Qin Family faction, so he naturally agreed readily.

"I personally have no problem with it. Specifically, I will send people to Wanshun County for a field investigation, and then we will sign a formal contract."

Investigating first, everyone sitting down to discuss specific cooperation terms, and then signing a formal contract—this was the normal process.

Qin Chuan said, "President Ma, then on behalf of Wanshun County, I welcome the investigation team to visit Wanshun County at an early date."

Director Hu Bing, Xia Hai, and the others felt like they were dreaming again.

Wait, such a huge investment was settled just like that in a few sentences?

Since President Ma Longfei said he personally had no problem, it was basically settled, because he was the president and the person in charge of Shenlong Automotive Group.

If he said there was no problem and his subordinates dared to voice opposition, that would be a slap in the face; such a situation basically wouldn't happen.
