High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 372 - 182: Because Someone Carries the Burden Forward! (Double - )
She didn’t know how much money Li Yang had, but even if it was ten billion, it wouldn’t be that easy.
Making a car is easy; selling it is the hard part.
In the domestic market, several car companies are born every year, but most of them, perhaps, have never been heard of, and ultimately lose billions and leave the scene awkwardly.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe Li Yang can succeed, but she feels like she needs to work hard to make money now. Otherwise, when Li Yang’s cash flow has problems, there might not be anyone willing to help him.
After all, he’s notoriously unlucky, even in exams.
During dinner, Dou Ying asked, "Xiaxia, I’m busy this afternoon. Do you want me to take you to find Ningning? I just asked Ningning, and she’s at Li Yang’s hometown."
"Sure."
Jiang Banxia knew what Dou Ying was thinking because Dou Ying wasn’t good at lying, and it was already very obvious.
...
Jiangbei.
Li Yang was sitting and chatting with a man in his thirties.
The man’s name was Yan Shengping, thirty-six years old, a deputy position in Jiangbei.
They talked about everything from the south to the north, discussing regional divisions and the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.
Li Yang didn’t really understand but he could talk, and even if he was wrong, he didn’t blush.
In short, after chatting for over an hour, he reached a conclusion.
The other party was likely an arts student.
From climate to geography, they finally brought the topic around to Jiangbei.
There’s no doubt Jiangbei is a big city, with convenient transportation. Whether it’s by land, water, or air, it’s among the top in the country.
In terms of transportation conditions, it’s really hard to find many cities better than Jiangbei in China.
After they had nearly finished chatting, Yan Shengping spoke, "I heard President Li plans to make an investment? Not sure what specific project you’re interested in investing in?"
He knew little about Li Yang but knew that Li Yang had money and was willing to invest.
But he was not interested in just any investment, as he needed something that could be beneficial.
Preferably, it shouldn’t squeeze out the local Jiangbei enterprises, or else it would be dispensable for him.
For instance, if Li Yang came to invest in a food company... Jiangbei’s food processing companies are already highly competitive, leaving no extra market for Li Yang.
Such an investment would be a burden for him.
"Something related to cars."
Li Yang took a sip of tea and said.
Yan Shengping calmly responded, "Hmm, this is nice..."
He wasn’t particularly surprised, as the domestic automotive parts manufacturers are equally competitive. Still, it could be useful in Jiangbei; the question is whether it can succeed.
If it can succeed, it would barely be of some help to him.
What he liked most were either projects with certain high-end positions or enough mid-to-low-end jobs.
High-end positions are basically in internet technology, while mid-to-low-end jobs are in electronics factories.
Li Yang thought for a while and asked, "Yan, I have something on my side, hoping Jiangbei can help." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Yan Shengping said, "Of course, serving every entrepreneur in Jiangbei is what we should do. We will do our best to help the corresponding enterprises solve their corresponding difficulties, so everyone can cooperate for a win-win situation."
"What I currently need to address is one condition; I want to acquire a piece of land in Jiangbei of no less than 300 acres, even if it’s a bit remote."
Yan Shengping asked, "Does President Li intend to build a factory?"
"Yes."
"Well... to be honest with President Li, in Jiangbei right now, it’s really hard to find a place as large as 300 acres. If you insist on such a scale, I’ll see what I can do."
He certainly wouldn’t reject outright, even if after hearing Li Yang’s request, he suspected Li Yang might be coming just to grab the land.
Three hundred acres, this is Jiangbei, not a small county.
In June, Jiangbei auctioned off about a total of one thousand acres of land, with the average transaction price at 1.8 million per acre.
Li Yang asked for three hundred acres, even if given in a slightly remote location, the cost wouldn’t be less than one million per acre, totaling three billion.
Currently, Li Yang doesn’t have the basis for him to immediately grant three billion.
Li Yang smiled and nodded, "That’s fine, I’m not in a hurry. If there’s none in Jiangbei, I’ll just have to check Zhongzhou or Luyang, though Luyang might have some competition, Jiangbei’s competitive pressure is less."
Yan Shengping was a bit surprised because in Jiangbei, there are plenty of companies related to automobiles.
Especially various parts manufacturing companies, second only to Zhongzhou, but more than Luyang.
He didn’t care if Li Yang said this on purpose or not, as they both had the right to negotiate terms.
"Which aspect of the car industry does President Li want to invest in?"
"Vehicle manufacturing!"
"Hmm? Ha... May I ask, how much do you plan to invest?"
Without thinking, Li Yang replied, "The initial capital is about four billion. It’s just because the funds aren’t too much, so in terms of land, I can’t afford it and can only shamelessly ask Jiangbei to lend some..."
Only then did Yan Shengping realize that what Li Yang said earlier wasn’t intentionally directed at him but was indeed his serious bargaining chip.
Four billion, vehicle manufacturing, that’s certainly a potentially amazing deal!
The land valued at three billion is really nothing; his real worry now is whether Li Yang can get this done well.
At the very least, it must last a few years.
Feeling much more enthusiastic, he asked, "President Li, are you intending to build cars?"
Though the question was somewhat redundant, it was necessary to ask.
After all, vehicle manufacturing could mean either building cars or conducting outsourcing work for others.
