Chapter 157 Promoted to Township Entrepreneur
A week has passed.
The first draft from Fanghua Design Company was finally sent over.
Zhang Chi and Long Jingshan took the printed drawings to Qingzhu Mountain for on-site comparison.
It must be said that the drawings provided by Fanghua were really professional, and many of the clever ideas in them amazed Long Jingshan, the contractor.
Zhang Chi was very satisfied with the first draft.
That day, he took the drawings to the town to seek approval from Li Mucheng.
Li Muqing was a little overwhelmed, but she still took time out to meet him.
After reading the planning book and the 3D planning drawings brought by Zhang Chi, her red lips curled up slightly and she looked at Zhang Chi with some surprise.
“This racetrack is a lot of investment, right?”
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and nodded, "At present, the visible expenses alone are more than 700 million, and they will increase in the future, at least 1500 million will be needed as a base."
This is not bragging, but it really requires this much.
Later on, we need to prepare soft and hard furnishings, purchase decorations and ornaments, and since it is a racing track, we have to have some iconic items.
All in all, 1500 million is still not enough.
If the modified cars that Zhang Chi stored in Binhai Park were also counted, it would cost at least 400 to 500 million.
Of course, even if Zhang Chi didn't explain, Li Muqing could probably figure it out.
Otherwise, her position as mayor would be in vain.
"What about the personnel?"
"I have already made an agreement with the villagers to give priority to employment in the village."
Li Muqing nodded slightly, dialed the internal phone, called the office director in charge of this area, and asked Zhang Chi to go with him.
It's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.
In just about an hour, Zhang Chi got the approval document.
From then on, he was considered a township entrepreneur.
After getting the documents, Zhang Chi went to Li Muqing to express his gratitude.
However, knowing that Li Muching was in a meeting, he couldn't stay too long and could only send a message on WeChat to express his gratitude.
Return to the village.
Zhao Tianlai delivered the documents to the village committee as soon as possible.
The old village chief had already instructed several village committees in the village that all matters concerning Zhang Chi should be handled specially.
"Chizi, the economic development of our village will depend on your support in the future, so you have to work harder."
The person who spoke was the village accountant.
The contract for Qingzhu Mountain was subleased by Lao Zhang from someone else. In addition to submitting the documents, Zhang Chi also had to re-sign the contract when he came here today.
At the same time, the time was extended to a full 20 years.
The cost has not changed much, which can be regarded as the support of the villagers for him.
"Uncle Jianzhou, please don't say that. I was just making a small fuss. I will need your corrections and suggestions from the village chief in the future."
Long Jianzhou laughed and said, "If our suggestions were useful, there would have been more than a dozen entrepreneurs in our village. The times now are not like the past. In the past, we only knew about fruit orchards and breeding, but we had no idea that racing tracks could also make money."
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly. He hadn’t even started making money yet.
The villagers thought he was sure to make money, but it seems that his performance has been a bit inconsistent during this period.
Zhang Chi laughed and decided to be more restrained during this period of time.
Let’s get the racing track and the team set up first.
After saying goodbye to Long Jianzhou.
Zhang Chi returned to the auto repair shop at the entrance of the village.
Now that all the documents have been approved, he can notify the people from Fanghua Design Company to come and start work.
Of course, the first payment of 200 million must also be paid in advance.
Zhang Chi took out his cell phone and called Mr. Fang from Fanghua Design Company to tell him the good news and confirmed a good day to start work.
After hanging up the phone.
Zhang Chi found Lao Zhang and asked him to go to the Mazu Temple to ask which day would be best to start construction.
Old Zhang seemed nervous these two days. When he heard that he was asked to go and knock on the door, he drove away in his Passat.
"What did you ask your dad to do?"
I don't know when my mother Fu Li came over and asked suddenly.
Zhang Chi was startled and turned around to see his mother, then he told her about the start of construction of the racetrack.
My mother nodded and said, "This is a good thing. We really need to pick a good day. By the way, do you have enough money? If not, take the money you deposited with me first."
Zhang Chi waved his hands. The money was originally meant for Lao Zhang and his mother to spend as they pleased. What was the point of using it again?
"No need, Mom. I have enough money. I'll ask you for more when I'm really short of money."
My mother thought about it and didn't say anything else.
He just looked at his precious son, his eyes filled with pride.
She was as proud as she was of how well the village elders treated Zhang Chi last night.
No matter how successful Zhang Chi is outside, it cannot compare to the recognition and praise from the villagers for the Zhang family.
Having lived in the village all their lives, what Lao Zhang and his mother care about most is the opinions of the villagers.
Some people may say, what's the point of this, why should we care so much about other people's opinions?
But this is what an ordinary person pursues.
No way.
The Zhang family is just a bunch of vulgar people.
If wealth and status are not displayed, it is like walking in fine clothes at night. What is the point of living then?
Humans are social animals. Who would hide their abilities? Who wouldn't want a good reputation?
Those who say they don't want to live in the mouths of others most likely have no ability and have to find reasons to comfort themselves.
Of course, there are also people who are really low-key, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Either he doesn't want his relatives and friends to benefit from it, or his money comes from illegal sources, so he can only choose to keep a low profile.
A few more days passed like this.
Finally, the day has arrived for the racetrack to start work.
Early in the morning, Zhang Chi went to the Mazu Temple with Lao Zhang and his mother to worship, and then went to the mountain god temple to burn incense.
They also bought some meat and set up a long table in front of the bamboo factory.
When the villagers learned that work would start today, they all came over spontaneously to help, of course most of them just to join in the fun.
The older generation also came, and the great-grandfather personally lit the firecrackers for Zhang Chi.
Great grandfather is the oldest elder of the Long family. The fact that he personally lit the cannon also meant that the Long family truly accepted the foreign branch of the Zhang family.
Seeing this, Lao Zhang secretly wiped his tears.
He wanted to visit his deceased parents. His father was holding a grudge and wanted to get the recognition of Zhang Chi's great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
However, even after the old man passed away, he could not be buried in the Long family’s ancestral tomb.
Now that my great-grandfather is personally helping to light the cannon, it means that the Zhang family has a foothold. When an opportunity arises in the future, my grandparents will be able to move into the ancestral land with good reason.
Zhang Chi didn't care much about these things, but seeing Lao Zhang and his mother crying bitterly, he couldn't pretend not to care.
He took out the red envelopes and cigarettes that he had prepared long ago and distributed them to the village elders one by one.
Of course, he also received the evaluation of "a good young man".
·
Jiachen year, August 17th.
It is suitable for breaking ground, setting up the bed, consecrating the deceased and offering sacrifices.
This day also marks the 100th day since Zhang Chi returned to his hometown to start his own business.
From a small auto repair shop to the current investment of tens of millions, Zhang Chi has transformed himself into a true township entrepreneur.
·
Haisha City.
Ye Hongguang was also very happy these two days. The resort project in Duntou Village had been finalized, led by Ye Hongguang and developed in conjunction with several local large enterprises.
The companies owned by Wang Hu and Guo Haiyang’s families are among them.
As a loyal man, Ye Hongguang fulfilled his promise to Zhang Chi for 10% of the shares.
In this regard.
When Zhang Chi received the notice to hold the board meeting, he was still confused.
We drove hurriedly to Haisha City.
Manager Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, took me to the largest conference room in the Shangri-La Hotel.
When Zhang Chi arrived, Wang Hu, Guo Haiyang, and some rich second-generations who he had met several times had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Hongguang was chatting and laughing with everyone about some cases of foreign resorts.
After Zhang Chi entered the house, he saw two familiar figures.
It was Fang Hua, the boss of Fang Hua Design Company, and his sister Fang Fang.
Naturally, the sisters also saw Zhang Chi being respectfully invited in by Manager Zhou.
Fang Hua raised his eyebrows.
Sister Fang Fang asked curiously, "Why is Mr. Zhang here too? Sister, do you think we should go over and say hello?"
Fang Hua waved his hand.
Present were representatives and heirs of major companies in Haisha City. If the two sisters wanted to get the position of chief designer for the resort project, they could not offend anyone.
Zhang Chi's sudden arrival obviously caught both of them by surprise.
If you go to say hello at this time, people may mistakenly think you are standing in line.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that a group of people are having fun together now. There may be several small gangs and groups among the twenty or so people here.
However, what made Fang Hua a little stunned was.
Zhang Chi walked in without any pause, and went straight to the empty seat opposite Guo Haiyang and sat down.
Fang Hua opened her red lips slightly, revealing an incredible expression.
The same is true for everyone else here.
Ye Hongguang just said that the last shareholder has not arrived yet, and they will get down to business after everyone is here.
Many people are wondering who will be the last shareholder of the resort?
Some people even speculated whether it was those people from Haicheng before?
But no one would have thought that this person would be Binhai’s driving god, Zhang Chi!
After Zhang Chi sat down.
Ye Hongguang, Wang Hu and Guo Haiyang smiled at him at the same time.
Then Ye Hongguang coughed lightly.
The entire conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang is here too, let's get started."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi stood up and nodded politely to everyone, so that they could get to know him better.
Ye Hongguang continued, "We estimate the total investment for the Duntou Village project to be 50 billion yuan. I believe everyone here is here for this project. I won't waste any more time. The parties currently in the bidding process include the construction party, the design party, and the material supplier..."
Ye Hongguang said a lot of things.
Zhang Chi tactfully picked up his phone and turned on the recording, which was both a way of recording and learning.
Compared with Ye Hongguang's professionalism, he, as a township entrepreneur, was obviously not experienced enough and he heard many professional terms for the first time.
Moreover, it involves the launch of a 50 billion project, which involves countless aspects.
If Zhang Chi didn't record the notes directly in his notebook, he would not be able to write them all down.
Of course, he is only the smallest shareholder, so it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t keep a record of it. He can just wait for dividends and invest more money in the future.
But who doesn’t have some ambition?
Zhang Chi, who has been promoted to a township entrepreneur, is currently very motivated.
He really wants to improve.
The meeting lasted more than 4 hours.
After the meeting, Zhang Chi couldn't help but yawn.
Wang Hu laughed and said, "Why are you so serious about this? Are you planning to enter the tourism industry instead of playing with cars?"
Zhang Chi waved his hand, picked up a bottle of Evian mineral water, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp.
"No, I'm just a rookie. If I don't understand something, I have to learn it. How can I understand it if I don't learn it?"
Wang Hu shrugged, indicating that what you said makes sense.
Then he asked curiously, "I heard from Mayor Li that you built a racing track. When it's ready, take me there to run a few laps and see what the difference is between a track built by professional racers."
"Oh?"
Zhang Chi put down the empty bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "Mayor Li, you are so polite. You didn't have this attitude before."
Wang Hu was startled when he heard this, and laughed, "We are one family now. This is how people interact with each other. With common interests, enemies can become friends temporarily, right?"
Zhang Chi smiled without comment.
At this time.
Guo Haiyang also walked over from the other side of the table.
"Chizi, I heard that you gave a few Ferraris to Lao Wu and his friends. You are really not kind. You are so generous to outsiders. Why don't you be generous to our brothers?"
"I say, Lao Guo, do you need this little money from me?"
Zhang Chi is now familiar with a few of them and is not so polite when speaking.
It's no longer about "all or nothing", but we start to talk about friendship as equals.
Guo Haiyang is only a few years older than Zhang Chi and is easy to get along with.
Hearing this, he said speechlessly: "How can I not be short of money? I just invested in an Internet celebrity company recently. You know that. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. I am now more clean-handed than my face."
Zhang Chi laughed and looked like it was up to him to decide whether he believed it or not.
Guo Haiyang was completely speechless.
Wang Hu said from the side: "Don't beg everywhere, kid. Be careful that your brother will snatch the resort project away from you. You won't have anywhere to cry when that happens."
"Well, I can't. My dad said it himself. I am responsible for this project."
Guo Haiyang said angrily.
However, Zhang Chi saw a hint of uncertainty in his somewhat uneasy eyes.
The life of the heirs of these big families is not as easy as ordinary people see. It's okay if there is only one male in the family, but if there are several brothers, the fighting between them would take more than 100 episodes of TV series to broadcast.
Zhang Chi knew that Guo Haiyang had two older brothers and seven younger brothers.
Sisters are counted separately.
This shows how much pressure he is under.
"Okay, let Old Ye say good things about you when he sees your father. Your contribution to getting this project is not small, so Old Ye will still give you this little bit of face."
Wang Hu patted Guo Haiyang's arm and gave him some advice.
Hearing this, Guo Haiyang looked thoughtfully at Ye Hongguang who was having a lively conversation with a CEO.
Perhaps he felt Guo Haiyang's gaze.
Ye Hongguang came over with the middle-aged man.
But he didn't look for Guo Haiyang, but introduced Zhang Chi: "This is Mr. Zhang Chi. Mr. Lin, you are also a car enthusiast, so you must have seen Chizi's videos."
The middle-aged man saw Zhang Chi and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Lin Fengyang. Mr. Zhang's driving skills are naturally beyond words. I heard that several foreign clubs have extended olive branches to you recently?"
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and shook hands with Lin Fengyang.
Ye Hongguang introduced: "Mr. Lin is mainly engaged in the construction and operation of various amusement parks. Mr. Lin has shares in almost all of the major amusement parks in China."
Zhang Chi heard this and smiled at Lin Fengyang.
Lin Fengyang waved his hand modestly and said, "Don't listen to Mr. Ye's nonsense. I'm just a small contractor. Mr. Zhang, if you have time, you have to take me for a few laps. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like all kinds of extreme sports and cars, but I don't have enough talent."
Zhang Chi smiled and nodded, wondering if he could build a small amusement park next to the racetrack, which would provide another project to retain customers.
