In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. The agreement signed with Zheng Yi was also being implemented quickly. Since the city already had a highway planning plan, they only needed to find the appropriate construction company. In order to make the highway complete quickly, Li Cong specially requested that the original three construction companies be changed to six, which could double the construction period. However, the overall cost was also increased from 2 billion to 2.5 billion. This was money for time. However, all the participating companies were guaranteed by Zheng Yi to the energy group, allowing the participating companies to make their own advances. In this day and age, Zheng Yi's reputation was still quite good. In any case, these companies could immediately borrow money from the bank with the contract. In this way, Li Cong only needed to make a short-term loan from the bank, which was equivalent to transferring his interest to the bank. The bank was also very happy. Originally, he was earning one person's money, at most 5% of it. Now that there were two people, the procedures were a little troublesome, but the total was 8%. This might be the biggest income of the Celestial Bank in Féi City this year. They had earned almost 200 million yuan with their own money.
Today happened to be the day of laying the foundation of the highway. After the approval of the provincial highway bureau, the municipal party committee leaders were prepared to hold a grand foundation laying ceremony at the intersection of the Energy Group. The city leaders, the senior management of the Energy Group, and the CEOs of several companies involved in the construction were all present. However, Li Cong never dreamed that he would see a person who made his blood boil. It was the father of Li's ex-girlfriend, Mr. Wei Maobing, who broke them up. Speaking of which, Mr. Wei was a real estate agent. He had never heard of anyone researching road construction.
Li Cong snapped his fingers, and a black-clothed security guard behind him immediately stretched his head forward. If a special forces soldier hired for 10,000 yuan a month did not have this kind of awareness, he might as well go home and sell white mice. "Go and find out why that old man is here.”The man in black did not say anything. He knew what he should and should not ask. The security company had said these things countless times. A few minutes later, the security guard whispered into Li Cong's ear. It turned out that Mr. Wei had recently left Maicheng, and a gas explosion had occurred in the district he had built. As a result, many buildings that had not been sold out could not be sold. Even if the price was lowered, no one wanted them. His construction team could not stay idle either. He heard that the city was preparing to build a road and was going to use his old connections with the Construction Bureau to take a look. Who knew that the developer would request for more construction companies. His construction team was also capable. Although they did not get the main road section after the formal selection, However, he had also contracted a project worth tens of millions. For Mr. Wei, it was enough for him to pay the workers.
"What's wrong? Boss Li has an opinion on these buildings? I saw you staring at them for a long time. If you're not satisfied, our political department will immediately replace them.”Chief Zhao, who was good at observing people's expressions, noticed that Li Cong was always staring at the construction company over there, and his knuckles were cracking. It seemed that this was not an ordinary festival. He had contributed greatly to his promotion.
"Hehe, Chief Zhao, you must be joking. We've already signed a contract with them. Do you think I can change it just because I want to? However, I really can't deal with this person, but forget it.”Li Congcheng pretended to be unwilling to do it, and the fire was just right. Chief Zhao followed Li Cong's gaze and looked over. They were all in the same city, so he was familiar with this Mr. Wei. Their private relationship was not bad, but now was not the time to talk about this. One had to know that this God of Fortune was a hundred times more important than this real estate agent.
"President Li, come over and let me introduce you.”Chief Zhao was a talented man, and he knew that he had to make Li Cong's words sound good so that he could work with him better in the future. He pulled Li Cong and walked towards Wei Maobing. Seeing the chief dragging a well-dressed young man towards him, Mr. Wei thought that he was a descendant of the chief's family, so he quickly went over to welcome him.
"Hello, Chief Zhao. I didn't expect to meet you here.”His words were too lacking. Before he came, he knew that this ceremony was personally hosted by the chief. This time, Li Cong despised this so-called successful person who almost became his father-in-law even more.
"Hehe, Mr. Wei, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Cong, the president of the Energy Group. He is also the investor of this highway. Mr. Li is a young talent, but he can easily take out billions of yuan to make such a great contribution to the people of Féi City.”Wei Maobing was still wondering why the chief was calling him so estranged today when a bombshell came. It was such a familiar name. It seemed that his daughter's ex-boyfriend had the same name. However, when the chief said that he was worth billions, his worries were dispelled. If that prostitute had so much money at that time, would he still be free until now? She was relieved, but when she looked up, she seemed to have seen this young man somewhere before. He looked so familiar.
"Hello, Mr. Wei." Li Cong did not give him much time to think. He stretched out his right hand, which almost made Chief Zhao think that he had seen wrongly. The sincerity in his eyes made him feel deceived. How could that be? He clearly saw him gnashing his teeth in hatred just now.
"Ah…Hello, Mr. Li. You're really generous. It's hard to find an entrepreneur as powerful as you within a few hundred kilometers. I heard that you've only started the company for a few months, but you can already invest in the construction of a highway.”He didn't have the chance to think about it anymore, so he immediately came up with the formula of flattery. In this day and age, the rich are the bosses. Don't look down on Li Cong's age, but he has a lot of money in his hands.
"Mr. Wei, you're too polite. May I know which area on this road you've booked? Your preparations are pretty good, right?" Li Cong's question was a legitimate question, so Mr. Wei answered without thinking much," We contracted a section. My company used to build buildings. I won't hide it from you. This is the first time we're building roads, but don't worry, President Li. In order to ensure the smooth progress of this project, we specially bought a lot of large-scale equipment. We definitely won't let you down.”Later, Mr. Wei recalled that if he hadn't said this, his disappointment might have come later. Li Congzheng knew that he had invested all his money in this road, so he turned hostile on the spot.
"Hehe, is that so? Chief Zhao, I'll donate 5 million to the elderly home in the city and 5 million to low-income people. In addition, I'll discuss with you about hiring in the future.”Wei Maobing was puzzled by Li Cong's sudden words. What was going on? He couldn't care less about how he spent his money, and he couldn't care less about his relationship with the boss. He shouldn't have said it in front of him. After all, he wasn't that familiar with the boss, and these words were completely different from what he had just said.
Mr. Wei didn't understand, but Chief Zhao understood clearly. Now, they were using these to exchange for Mr. Wei's withdrawal from the project. However, they couldn't let Li Cong off so easily. The contract had already been signed, and it wasn't something that they could break just because they wanted to. It would take a lot of effort to get Mr. Wei out of the project. However, the entire city doesn't even have a central garden or a city logo. If our government were to build it, I'm afraid people would say that it's an image project. Why don't you do a good deed for the people of our city?”Chief Zhao knew very well what kind of price he should pay. If he was trying to make a profit for himself, he would probably turn around and leave. In the end, it was also convenient for the citizens to say such things.
"Hehe, Chief Zhao is also a public servant. No problem. The same old rules apply. I'll pay, and Zheng will be in charge of the planning. After half a year, the funds will be in place.”Li Cong said with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Mr. Wei, who was even more dumbfounded.
"Oh, right, look at my head. Mr. Wei, your company's qualifications are not good enough. The approval from the Construction Bureau is too sloppy. Why didn't they check it strictly? I think we need to go back and study the contract with the construction department.”Chief Zhao said these words unhurriedly. The two people beside him were one in heaven and the other in hell.
"No, no, no. No, Chief Zhao, what's going on? Hey, Chief Zhao, Chief Li, don't go.”Li Cong and Zhao Shi greeted the developers in the distance and strolled over. Li Cong turned around and gave Wei Maobing a cold smile. The smile of the Vampire Count was probably similar to this. He believed that these developers knew that there was another 50 million shares for them to split. No one would pity that fool.
Maobing still didn't understand what was going on. His company was already losing money, and he had borrowed tens of millions from the bank to buy these machines. He thought that he could repay the loan in a few months, pay the workers, and make a profit. He had been happy for a few days, but why did this happen today? How could this be good? The interest on the loan alone was almost millions a year. It was impossible to count on that half-dead property in the city. Although the contract had not been officially terminated, since the chief had said so, he would definitely not have a good ending. How did he offend the chief?
Even after the ceremony was completed, he did not remember how he had disrespected the chief. Suddenly, he remembered Li Cong's cold smile. Could this Li Cong be that Li Cong? That's impossible. After returning to the city, he brought a gift to the chief's house overnight, but he didn't go in. Although the previous chief didn't accept gifts, he wouldn't stop him from going in. This made the old Wei feel helpless. Why did the situation suddenly change? What did he do wrong? Finally, Mr. Wei knew about Li Cong's despair at that time. Hundreds of workers at the construction site also heard about the lack of money to pay their salaries and were preparing to riot. The bank also knew that the contract might be destroyed. Without this contract, it was impossible to expect Wei Maobing to pay off the tens of millions of yuan loan. The bank's higher-ups had already held a meeting overnight and decided to ask the court to forcefully block some of his inherent assets. After all, the real estate company had gone bankrupt, and the bank didn't want to be burdened with such a dead debt.
After returning home, Wei Maobing heard his subordinate's report. He didn't have much hatred for others, so how could the situation suddenly change? Who was taking revenge on him?
