43: Chapter 43 Key Support

The United States uniting with the European Union to impose comprehensive sanctions on Yanxia—isn't this the perfect opportunity for Chen Yu to rise?

The West is no longer selling high-tech products to Yanxia.

So, Huanyu Technology will gladly take all those things that originally needed to be imported.

Chen Yu had long planned to innovate high-tech industries in important global sectors.

Previously, operating systems, chips, high-end manufacturing, and so on, were all monopolized by Europe and America.

Now is the time for Huanyu Technology to soar, and Chen Yu wants to create products that are ahead of this era.

By then, the West will be begging Yanxia to export products to them!

Chen Yu's phone suddenly rang; he picked it up and saw it was Xia Yueshu calling.

"Hello, beautiful, why are you looking for me?"

"Chen Yu, didn't you say you wanted to buy land last time? I asked my dad, and he found a piece of land for you in the suburbs of Donghai City, next to Jiangcheng. It's 30 square kilometers, about 45,000 mu."

Chen Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this; it was even larger than the land in Qifu Village.

"Not bad. Tell me, is this land easy to acquire?"

"My dad has a very good relationship with the Donghai City officials. He can help you connect with them. The cost of acquiring that land will definitely be cheaper than acquiring the land in Qifu Village."

"Good, take me to see that land now, and also have your father contact the Donghai officials for me!"

"Okay, then come pick me up, and we'll go see the land together."

"Alright!"

Chen Yu drove his Porsche Cayenne straight to the Qianye Group's headquarters in Jiangcheng.

After picking up Xia Yueshu, he immediately got on the highway, heading directly for the nearby Donghai City.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, Mayor Wu Jianguo of Jiangcheng City led the highest-level leadership team of Jiangcheng.

They were rushing to Huanyu Technology, having received orders from Yanjing to vigorously support Huanyu Technology.

They were to ensure that all of the company's requirements were met.

Su Rou was working in the general manager's office when her secretary, Xiao Fang, rushed in, shouting:

"General Manager Su, General Manager Su, the... the Mayor is here!"

Su Rou looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Why is the Mayor coming here?"

"Not only the Mayor, but almost all the high-ranking officials in Jiangcheng are here. They want to see Chairman Chen."

"But Chairman Chen just left with Miss Xia to see land in Donghai. Have them go into the conference room; I'll go receive them!"

"Yes, General Manager Su!"

Su Rou adjusted her appearance in the office mirror.

Then she headed towards the largest conference room.

In the conference room, the Jiangcheng leadership team, led by Mayor Wu Jianguo of Jiangcheng City, were all present, none of them putting on airs.

They had received news that Chen Yu of Huanyu Technology was someone they absolutely had to curry favor with.

If anyone failed to serve Huanyu Technology well, their official position could be at risk at any time.

Su Rou walked into the conference room, and a large group of high-ranking officials all stood up. When they saw it was a woman, everyone was puzzled.

Why wasn't it Chen Yu?

"Leaders, this is our Huanyu Technology General Manager Su."

Xiao Fang nervously introduced her to the many big shots.

Su Rou had seen Chen Yu's ultimate weapon, which annihilated the Sakura Country fleet in half an hour. She had probably already guessed the purpose of these officials' visit.

With confidence, she wasn't flustered in her actions.

Su Rou confidently sat down at the main seat, while the officials remained standing.

But Su Rou's eyes were sharp; among these officials, she saw a pot-bellied high-ranking official who was timidly trying to hide in the back.

That was Liao Changzhi, the director of the Jiangcheng Land Bureau. Of course, he also saw Su Rou walk in.

When Liao Changzhi came here, he was uneasy. Some time ago, Su Rou from Huanyu Technology had approached him to approve land, and he had made all sorts of excuses.

He had even hinted at wanting benefits and quoted an absurdly high price.

He thought Huanyu Technology was a rising star company, surely overflowing with money, and he wanted to skim some off the top.

As a result, now even Yanjing had issued a document instructing all departments in Jiangcheng to actively cooperate with Huanyu Technology, even elevating its status to strategic level.

This made Liao Changzhi extremely frustrated. If he had known this company was so formidable, he wouldn't have made things difficult for Su Rou in the first place.

After Su Rou sat down, she pressed her hands down, gesturing for the officials to sit.

"Hello, esteemed officials. I am Su Rou, the General Manager of Huanyu Technology. Our Chairman just left to inspect a project in Donghai, so I can only receive everyone. I apologize for making you humble yourselves!"

After the officials sat down, Mayor Wu Jianguo, the highest-ranking official present, spoke:

"Uh, General Manager Su, what are you talking about? With your status, of course we are not humbling ourselves."

Mayor Wu Jianguo said this, but he was still unhappy; his dignified self as Mayor had arrived, yet Chen Yu had left.

"May I ask, esteemed officials, are you here to inspect Huanyu Technology?"

Mayor Wu Jianguo quickly explained:

"Uh, no, no, no, we are here to offer our regards to Huanyu Technology. Yanjing has issued an important document, and our Huanyu Technology in Jiangcheng has become a strategically supported enterprise, instructing all departments in Jiangcheng to actively cooperate with your work."

Su Rou's face showed an expression of "just as I thought."

"Oh! So Huanyu Technology is that formidable now? However, whether we are supported or not doesn't mean much to Huanyu Technology, because we have enough strength to stand at the top of the industry!"

"Yes, yes, General Manager Su is right!" Mayor Wu Jianguo quickly echoed.

"Mayor Wu, actually, it's not that we don't need help. It's just that we've approached you before, but the leaders of some of your departments are quite arrogant!"

As soon as Su Rou said this, Liao Changzhi, the director of the Land Bureau, who was hiding in the corner, trembled.

It's coming, it's coming, it really is coming!

As Mayor Wu Jianguo, who had navigated the officialdom for decades, he immediately understood that Su Rou's words had another meaning!

"General Manager Su, does that mean your company's requests to us have not been met?"

Su Rou gave a meaningful glance at the trembling Liao Changzhi in the corner.

"Heh heh, it's nothing major. It's just that our Huanyu Technology wanted to acquire the land in Qifu Village, but your Land Bureau rejected us many times. So, our Chairman Chen just left to see land in Donghai. It's not impossible that our entire Huanyu Technology will relocate there!"

Upon hearing this, Mayor Wu Jianguo immediately grasped the key point.

Huanyu Technology wanted to acquire land for expansion, but was deliberately obstructed by the Land Bureau. Now, in a fit of pique, they were going to move to a neighboring city.

If this was true, then given Yanjing's current emphasis on Huanyu Technology, his position as Mayor would immediately be revoked.

Mayor Wu Jianguo's forehead began to sweat.

"General Manager Su, for a mere piece of land, why make Chairman Chen go to another city to acquire it? Have Chairman Chen come back; any land in Jiangcheng he fancies, I will approve it for him!"

Su Rou smiled playfully!

"Heh heh, Mayor Wu, I wouldn't dare. Your Land Bureau's leaders are so arrogant. It's better for us small businesses not to contend with big officials!"

Mayor Wu Jianguo turned his head, seemingly looking for something. Liao Changzhi in the corner kept shrinking back.

But the surrounding officials were not fools; they all quickly moved away from him, immediately isolating Liao Changzhi.

Mayor Wu Jianguo roared:

"Liao Changzhi! Get over here!"
