45: Chapter 45 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Mayor Wu Jianguo's expression was awkward; Chen Yu's question clearly indicated his displeasure.

“Uh, Mr. Chen, I'm already aware of Huanyu Technology's desire to acquire land in Jiangcheng. My previous oversight in management has been rectified; I've removed Liao Changzhi, the director of the Land Bureau. As long as you return to Jiangcheng now to acquire land, no matter where it is, I'll approve it for you!”

Mayor Wu Jianguo's words were undeniably serious, but just as he finished speaking, a voice beside him interjected.

“I say, my dear Wu, did you rush over here so eagerly just to deliberately ruin my cooperation with Mr. Chen?”

The speaker was none other than Zhao Wenbin of Donghai City.

When Mayor Wu Jianguo arrived, he was solely focused on clarifying things with Chen Yu and reversing Chen Yu's decision; he paid no attention to the person accompanying Chen Yu.

Now, looking closely, he realized it was Zhao Wenbin from the neighboring city, an old acquaintance of his.

“So it's Mayor Zhao. Mr. Chen's company is originally in Jiangcheng. Even if it needs to expand, it's most convenient in Jiangcheng. Why bother coming all this way to your Donghai?”

Mayor Wu Jianguo spoke without any politeness.

“Mayor Wu Jianguo, the reason Mr. Chen came here to acquire land is because you people broke his heart. Now that you know the future prospects of Mr. Chen's company, you're rushing back to win him over. Do you, a dignified mayor, have any shame?”

“You!!!!”

Chen Yu watched in astonishment as two mayoral-level bigwigs, in order to compete for the right for his company to settle, cursed at each other like common folk in the marketplace.

The group of high-ranking officials from Jiangcheng brought by Mayor Wu Jianguo, and the officials from Donghai behind Zhao Wenbin, immediately became hostile, glaring at each other with warning eyes.

Zhao Wenbin knew from his cabinet friends in Yanjing that the Chief was very interested in Huanyu Technology. When Xia Shixiong of Qianye Group approached him, saying he wanted to help Huanyu Technology acquire a piece of land, he immediately agreed and even personally accompanied him, hoping that Huanyu Technology could move to his Donghai.

Since Mayor Wu Jianguo didn't cherish it, Zhao Wenbin was determined to hold Huanyu Technology in the palm of his hand.

Just as Chen Yu felt these two groups of high-ranking officials were about to come to blows, he intervened in time.

“Hey! Everyone, calm down. Mayor Wu, Mayor Zhao, you are both mayors of cities. Why get so upset over such a small matter of mine?”

“Hmph, we were having a good discussion today, and we were about to sign the contract. Mayor Wu Jianguo came here to cause trouble at this time. Whose fault do you say it is?”

Zhao Wenbin flicked his sleeve and said angrily.

“Heh! Huanyu Technology is currently my Jiangcheng's technology company, and it should rightfully be provided with resources and care by my Jiangcheng. It's not yet your turn, neighboring Donghai City!”

Mayor Wu Jianguo retorted, equally unwilling to show weakness!

Chen Yu waved his hand, interrupting their argument.

“Two bigwigs, why don't you listen to a few words from me!”

This made the two mayors blush and fall silent.

“Mayor Wu, Mayor Zhao, to be honest with you, I'm interested in both the land in Qifu Village in Jiangcheng and this land here. And I've looked at the map; these two pieces of land are very close, with the Haijiang Mountain Range in between.”

“If you agree, why not give me both pieces of land? If I just open up this mountain range, they can be connected into one large area. To be honest, the technology park I'm going to build this time needs as large an area as possible. What do you think?”

Chen Yu's words managed to not offend either side, and he could also acquire more land for himself.

He already had a blueprint in mind to build a super technology industrial park, and the total area of the two pieces of land combined would be close to 60 square kilometers.

This is almost the same area as the core region of Silicon Valley in the United States, where the world's top technology giants are gathered.

Including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, and other world-class technology companies, whose products are popular globally.

They have even achieved absolute monopolies in certain fields.

However, Chen Yu only had Huanyu Technology here, and his goal was to trample all these monopolistic technology companies underfoot.

Chen Yu's proposal to acquire both pieces of land would, of course, not be rejected.

Mayor Wu Jianguo was overjoyed; as long as Chen Yu was still willing to take his land, his mayoral position would remain secure.

“Mr. Chen, of course, you can. Our Jiangcheng Land Bureau will strongly support your company's expansion. You only need to properly resettle the villagers of Qifu Village, and as for the land transfer fees, we will waive them all!”

Chen Yu was surprised; Mayor Wu Jianguo's offer was something he had no reason to refuse!

This would save him at least several billion!

Zhao Wenbin then also spoke:

“Mr. Chen, my Donghai City can offer you the same policy!”

Chen Yu was incredibly excited; simultaneously saving billions in land acquisition costs from both sides, he only had to be responsible for the resettlement of residents.

Could you even imagine such a good thing?

In fact, if Chen Yu had known that the Chief in Yanjing valued his Huanyu Technology so much, he would have found these support conditions quite common.

“Good, good, good, Mayor Zhao, Mayor Wu, let's sign the contract immediately!”

Chen Yu couldn't contain his excitement and quickly signed the contract, which was the most important thing.

“Good!” “Good!”

Both mayors waved their hands to their secretaries.

The contracts had already been prepared, just waiting for Chen Yu's signature.

Chen Yu thought he had gotten a huge bargain, while the two mayors could also be deeply tied to Huanyu Technology.

They would also receive praise from the high-level cabinet in Yanjing, truly killing three birds with one stone.

Chen Yu and the two mayors immediately signed the contract.

Both mayors specifically arranged a working group to assist Chen Yu with the relocation and resettlement of residents within the land.

Ensuring that Chen Yu's subsequent expansion could proceed smoothly.

Both mayors wanted to keep Chen Yu for dinner.

But a call from Su Rou came, saying that General Cao and the special envoy from Yanjing were waiting for him, so Chen Yu had to return to Jiangcheng.

At the official state guesthouse hotel in Jiangcheng, specially for international VIPs, General Cao Guangde hosted a banquet to entertain Chen Yu and Su Rou.

When Chen Yu arrived at the largest private room in the state guesthouse hotel, he saw several bigwigs in military uniforms.

Looking at their shoulder insignias, these were all generals!

“General Cao, distinguished generals, I apologize. I was in Donghai discussing a project and arrived late. I'll punish myself with three drinks!”

“Haha, Mr. Chen, you're joking. How did your project discussion go?” General Cao Guangde asked politely.

“Very smoothly. I acquired two pieces of land in Jiangcheng and Donghai, and I'm planning to build a technology industrial park.”

General Cao Guangde's eyes lit up. The Chief had said that the key to Yanxia breaking through the European and American sanctions currently lay with Huanyu Technology.

Now that Chen Yu had acquired two pieces of land and was about to expand on a large scale, it proved that Chen Yu definitely wanted to do something for the country!

General Cao Guangde raised a glass of wine and said excitedly:

“Chen Yu, come, these three glasses of wine, I, Cao Guangde, will drink with you!”

Just as General Cao Guangde finished speaking, General Zhang, General Li, and the Yanjing special envoy all stood up, raising their wine glasses.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu seemed to feel the country's support for him.

Chen Yu nodded heavily!

“Good, I understand. Yanxia is currently facing a once-in-a-century change. As a Yanxia person, I should contribute to the country. The European and American sanctions will collapse on their own in the near future, I, Chen Yu, say so!”
