Chapter 424: Chapter 424 The Mercedes Benz with a black license plate_1

"The Xiao Ying Group has a branch in the capital and will also have numerous investments domestically in the future. Do you believe me now?" Wang Ye asked with a grin.

"We believe! We believe! Xiaoye, please look after this matter for us, everything, including the terms, is up for negotiation. After all, we are all on the same side. You’re bringing foreign investment to your hometown, and we will definitely support you. We wouldn’t embarrass you in front of your girlfriend, haha," Director Li said with a beaming smile.

He meant every word!

If a local wants to contract or buy the Flour Improver Factory, we should negotiate the price and other terms.

The factory’s current workers must be fully retained at a fair price, and we are eagerly waiting for the rice to be cooked!

But if it’s foreign investment, the nature is completely different!

What Director Li values is not economic benefits, but political gains!

Nowadays, attracting investment is a priority all over the country, regardless of whether the area has the potential for it or not. The strategic importance of attracting investors has reached an unprecedented height!

Take our region for example, to attract investment, the county has offered very attractive policies.

For instance, bring an investment project worth over one million, and a regular civilian can secure a formal public servant position right away!

If you’re already employed, you get an immediate promotion!

Bring an investment exceeding ten million, and you secure departmental treatment!

As for projects over one hundred million...

Honestly, the county has not dared to think about it!

Especially since this is foreign investment...

If this investment was really landed, then the county would have the only foreign invested enterprise in the entire region!

The heads of the county, when going to regional meetings and the like, would have a glowing reputation.

Therefore, if Wang Ye is really "heartless," he can ask for the moon. Even if the terms are unreasonable, the county will probably agree to them.

......

As for Director Li’s friendly overtures, or even his "hints," Wang Ye paid them no mind.

He gently smiled and said,

"Their money, well, should not be wasted. Even though it’s my girlfriend’s Group company, we can’t let our hometown suffer a loss.

So, as for the price, Director Li, you don’t have to worry too much. I mean, how much can a Flour Improver Factory be worth, even at its most expensive?

Rest assured, the Group can afford it.

The key issue is to clarify the stock rights. They invest by holding all the shares, they need to have complete control, they don’t want the local authorities to interfere with the company’s internal management, they also can’t accept any staff placements..."

Wang Ye is speaking the "ugly words" first. Honesty is key amongst brothers.

Everything is clear in advance, saving time of negotiations later.

Besides, a small factory like the Flour Improver Factory doesn’t cost that much.

He’d rather spend the money outright than feel like he owes someone a favor...

Most importantly, after buying the factory, Wang Ye doesn’t want anything to do with the local authorities.

To avoid various minor leaders stuffing their relatives into factory jobs, that would be an annoyance.

Don’t think it’s impossible; at that time, particularly in Mainland China, a successful company or factory is like a piece of "Tang monk meat" in everyone’s eyes!

Everyone with some sort of relationship wants to take a bite...

Director Zhang gave a thumbs up, praising, "Look at this ideology! It’s so high! If all investors could be like Wang Ye, not always trying to take advantages from the locals, our work would be much easier."

Director Li and Director Zhang, one on each side, eagerly chatting with Wang Ye, leaving Wang Ye’s Dad alone...

He poured himself a cup of tea out of boredom, smoking and drinking as he strained his ears to listen to the conversation between the three of them.

His heart was very happy though because his son had raised his status!

Look at usually superior, arrogant, Director Li, now isn’t he speaking with his son with a flattering tone?

.......

"Wang Ye, your girlfriend’s company is such a big conglomerate, surely you will be working there to help out in the future," Director Zhang asked tentatively.

Wang Ye shook his head and casually replied, "No, I have my own companies to manage. There are actually many opportunities in Moscow. I’ve already started two companies there. I don’t need to rely on my girlfriend, I can make money on my own."

The information he revealed with these words amazed Director Li and Director Zhang again.

Because Wang Ye had only been studying abroad for a year!

And he’s already started two companies?

The meaning behind his words seemed to imply that these two companies are quite profitable!

Could it be that Moscow is full of gold, and it’s easy to find opportunities to make a lot of money...

Under the two men’s persistent questioning, Wang Ye revealed a little information, but didn’t speak too clearly, vaguely, although not clearly understood, it felt very impressive...

After dinner, Wang Ye and his dad prepared to leave.

The official business also had been settled earlier; Director Li said he would go back and rush to deal with the Flour Improver Factory matter, trying to finalize it in the shortest possible time.

Wang Ye is not in a hurry, but Director Li is. He is afraid that if this matter drags on for too long, it will fall through...

......

The farewell was nothing like the greeting.

Director Li and Director Zhang stood one on his left and one on his right, escorting Wang Ye, his dad crowded out behind them.

Surrounding Wang Ye, they escorted him out of the restaurant’s front door.

"Wang Ye, how did you get here? If you didn’t bring a car, let me have my driver take you guys home," Director Li offered enthusiastically.

"I drove here." As he spoke, Wang Ye fished out his car key and hit the unlock button.

The Mercedes Benz parked in front of the restaurant flashed its lights and beeped twice.

Director Li and Director Zhang turned their heads to look, and didn’t speak for a long time.

They weren’t ignorant; although they might not know exactly what model of Mercedes-Benz it was or how much it costs.

But they did understand that this car wouldn’t be cheap!

Especially its license plate, which was black...

For someone not in the know, seeing a black license plate might only elicit surprise at why it’s a different color from others’.

But in the eyes of those who know, seeing a black license plate clearly distinguishes the car’s status!

Black backdrop with white lettering is for foreign companies’ cars, black with red "embassy" signifies embassy vehicles.

This Mercedes Benz, with a black backdrop and white lettering, and no red "embassy" in front, represents that this car is a foreign company’s car.

"This car is from Xiao Ying Group’s Beijing branch. I took it home for the New Year because I needed a vehicle," Wang Ye explained with a laugh.

This car with a black license plate removed the last thread of doubt from Director Li and Director Zhang!

Because while other things can be feigned, a million-dollar luxury car with a black license plate can’t be faked.

Or rather, the cost of faking it would be too high...
