Chapter 394 Do You Take Me for Example?
After both parties sat down, they began to exchange pleasantries.
It's just some polite words.
After more than ten minutes, we gradually got to the point.
"Haicheng has developed rapidly in the past six months. Our chairman is from Haicheng. Seeing his hometown flourishing, he is very happy!"
The bald man took a sip of tea with a look of relief, as if that expression was made for the chairman.
"Is Director Tang also from Haicheng? I didn't know that!" Jiang Ning expressed surprise: "Where in Haicheng are you from? Do you have any relatives there?"
"The chairman is not from Haicheng. He comes from Shuguang Village, Qinggang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Haicheng." Bald Zhong Chushan said, "The chairman left here with his parents when he was very young. He has no relatives in his hometown. However, the chairman has always been homesick. I heard that Haicheng has changed a lot now, so he also wants to contribute to his hometown!"
"Oh, that's great!" Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and said, "It's a blessing for the people of Haicheng that Director Tang can have this idea!"
“Hahaha!” Zhong Chushan laughed, then slapped his forehead and said, “Oh, look at my brain. I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to take out the gift I brought.”
Then, he said to a man with a backpack beside him, "Bring up the gift for Mr. Jiang."
The man stepped forward, opened his backpack, took out an exquisite box from it, placed it on the table and opened it.
Inside the box is a model of a small elephant about 20 cm tall and 30 cm long.
All the models are made of pure gold and shine brightly.
The ivory is made of top-grade white jade, the elephant's nose ring and decorations are made of emeralds, and there is also a red mount on the elephant's back, which is made of top-grade rubies and pigeon blood red.
This golden elephant is shining all over, with red and green sapphires sparkling and white jade crystal clear. The overall look is colorful and very exquisite.
"So beautiful!"
Liu Qianhui's eyes widened.
Women all like this kind of jeweled things, and Liu Qianhui and Leng Yu are no exception.
"Director Tang is very thoughtful!" Jiang Ning said, "But I can't accept such an expensive gift!"
The two sides didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, and with the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce involved, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies now.
Such a valuable gift is given suddenly, so it must be abnormal!
"Mr. Jiang, you're welcome. This is not only a gift, but also represents the sincerity of our Xianglong Chamber of Commerce!" Zhong Chushan said, "Our chairman will meet you in person someday, and the gift he gives you is a dragon sculpture! This is just a small gift for our first meeting, and it's not a sign of respect!"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, neither accepting nor rejecting it, and said calmly: "When will Director Tang come to Haicheng?"
"The chairman will be here once the bid for the wharf project opens!" said Zhong Chushan.
Finally, the gifts were brought up and the topic was brought up.
"Oh? Director Tang came here for the dock?" Jiang Ning pretended to be surprised and said, "Xianglong International is rich enough to rival a country overseas. Would Director Tang be interested in Shanghai City? And why would he come here in person?"
"Alas, overseas trade has not been easy in recent years." Zhong Chushan pretended to be depressed and said, "It's hard to make money, but it's hard to eat shit. Right now, Xianglong International is also struggling to survive. The domestic development has been rapid in recent years, and there are many opportunities. Therefore, it is necessary for our chairman to take the opportunity of building his hometown and return to China to develop it."
Jiang Ning laughed: "Well, it's true that the situation abroad is not very good!"
He said this but in his heart he was thinking, you guys just want to come to our country to get a piece of the pie, and all this talk of building our hometown is bullshit.
The next second, Zhong Chushan drank the tea in one gulp, his face became serious: "So, our chairman takes the Haicheng wharf construction project very seriously!"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly but did not express his opinion.
Seeing this, Zhong Chushan couldn't help but secretly admire Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning was so calm and composed at such a young age. He was not impatient or anxious. He was indeed much better than the average person.
"Mr. Jiang, the reason we are telling you all this is that we have an unreasonable request!" said Zhong Chushan.
"Speaking!"
"Everyone knows that you are now the pride of Haicheng's business community and the president of Haicheng Chamber of Commerce. Many local merchants in Haicheng respect you very much!" Zhong Chushan said, "Right now, we at Xianglong International want to take over this wharf project. We want to find a prestigious local partner to jointly take over the project. The chairman sincerely invites you to cooperate with us."
"Cooperation is a good thing!" Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How can you say it's an unwelcome request?"
Zhong Chushan paused and said, "The chairman hopes that we, Xianglong International, can take the lead in bidding!"
Such a short sentence contains so much information.
With Xianglong International taking the initiative, the meaning is very clear. We will get the projects and you will assist us. After the projects are won, we will also lead all the subsequent construction, leasing, etc., and you will always be assisting.
In simple terms, if the project is divided into 30% and 70%, Xianglong International will take 70%!!
This abacus is too obvious, isn't it?
Xianglong International came to Haicheng to obtain a project, but did not want to be threatened by local businessmen in Haicheng, so it thought of bringing Jiang Ning, the president of the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce, into the partnership, so as to avoid harassment and competition from many secret companies.
Then, he took advantage of Jiang Ning, but was unwilling to give Jiang Ning any benefits, and only let Jiang Ning play a supporting role. Tang Longxiang ate meat and Jiang Ning drank soup!
You wish for the Dragon Chamber of Commerce!
Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, saying, "Let me think about the cooperation!"
Having said that, I just don't want to embarrass everyone.
Zhong Chushan took a deep breath and spread his hands: "Mr. Jiang, you are not satisfied, right?"
As the leader of Xianglong International, he must be very shrewd and capable. He saw the disdain in Jiang Ning's expression and concluded that Jiang Ning was not satisfied with the current way of cooperation.
Jiang Ning did not hide it and said, "Our Haicheng Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to the wharf project. It is the lifeblood of Haicheng and a major circulation route. The entire Jiangnan Province is eyeing this project."
"As the leader of the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce, I naturally have to fight for this project on behalf of everyone. You want me to cooperate with you, but put me in a supporting position. It's like using me to directly move the entire Haicheng Chamber of Commerce aside. Do you think this method is reasonable?"
Jiang Ning spoke frankly, which surprised Zhong Chushan.
Having talked business with those old hands so many times, Zhong Chushan's way of talking seemed very restrained and subtle, and he did not show his emotions on his face.
But Jiang Ning was straightforward and said whatever he wanted to say, which surprised him a little.
"That's not the case!" Zhong Chushan smiled and said, "We can still give Mr. Jiang some benefits!"
"for example?"
"For example, the profit ratio can be negotiated by both parties!" Zhong Chushan said: "The original ratio we set was 20:80. We will lead the bidding, construction, etc. of the entire project. You don't need to put in any effort. You just need to ensure that the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce will not come to disrupt it. So, you will get 20% and we will get 80%..."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Ning snorted and laughed.
