Chapter 673: Chapter 288: Being a Pair of Good Father-in-law and Son-in-law Like Brothers
As a mild and good man who was not at all interested in personal gain, Su Huai didn’t drag Gu straight to Magic Capital, but first went to Hangzhou.
After all, Mr. Zuo was there, and he wasn’t going anywhere, so what was the rush, right?
After getting off the plane, there was a seven-seater Mercedes-Benz business car waiting for them in the terminal—Su Huai, Gu Jiuyue, Wu, nurse Andy, and one other, all five of them fit perfectly.
"Where to?"
Wu didn’t even bother to ask for the girls’ opinions and directly asked Su Huai.
"Let’s head to Jiubao first; we’ll stay in Hangzhou for a day. You can arrange wherever we stay."
"Suburbs?"
Wu was puzzled and to confirm if her memory was faulty, she even searched for Jiubao on the navigation app.
Actually, even Su Huai himself didn’t know what Jiubao was like now; he just knew that it was a regionally central area perfectly suited for establishing Xingyu’s Hangzhou branch.
"Mm." He explained, "Our company’s people are doing inspections there, I need to go have a look."
"OK."
Wu signaled the driver to start the car, and Andy and Lan exchanged glances, secretly starting to ship Missy with Little Handsome.
Sitting in the back, Gu Jiuyue leaned lazily against Su Huai’s shoulder and asked with a sense of ownership, "What place is Jiubao? Why set up the company there?"
"That land has just been developed, there are many industrial parks, and the policies are especially attractive."
Su Huai explained patiently while looking up information on his tablet.
"The cost of living in Hangzhou is just too high; if we were to establish a company branch and live broadcast base in the city, I could afford it, but it would place the pressure on the employees, which isn’t conducive to attracting outstanding talents to grow and strengthen."
There were other reasons he could not explain, such as Jiubao becoming a particularly well-known "Live Broadcast Town" later on, capable of competing with Xiaoshan’s Taobao Live Broadcast Town, and the completeness of its supply chain ranked highly nationwide.
"Right..." Su Huai added, "Zhang Dayi’s original company, Ruhan, was opened there."
"Oh~~~"
Gu Jiuyue nodded, showing she understood, then suddenly changed the topic, "How is Zhang Dayi preparing? I am waiting to see her new clothes."
Su Huai blinked, "Huh? Since when have you been interested in this?"
"Just recently—"
Gu Jiuyue retorted righteously, "The internet celebrities from your company—I definitely need to keep an eye on them!"
Boy, you’re really making big moves on the quiet...
Su Huai wasn’t afraid but just chuckled and tousled her hair, teasing, "With a house full of clothes you’ve never worn, you better not buy anymore. Zhang Dayi’s clothes are budget-friendly, with only a few luxury items, not suitable for you."
"What?"
Gu wasn’t happy, puffing up, "I’ve worn Taobao cotton T-shirts before, okay?"
"Really?"
Su Huai looked disbelieving and called out to Wang Andy in the front, "Andy, what do we do when the kid lies?"
"Ah! You’re so annoying!" 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Amidst Gu’s coquettish protest, Wang Andy and Lan burst out laughing.
Eventually, Wu held back her laughter and spoke fairly, "Indeed, she wore it once during the sports meeting—you guys bought T-shirts as a class, weren’t they from Taobao?"
Gou Huai pretended that Gu’s "punch" had him leaning all over, conceding defeat and begging for mercy.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Later when we talk business, have them take you to see the clothes; there are many styles here, all the latest."
"Humph! I’m not going."
Gu thought to herself: I’m not interested in clothes, and what’s the point if you’re not around when I’m out playing?
After some jokes and laughter, they arrived at Jiubao, where Zhang Dayi and her assistant, along with the office director Tian Ye, were waiting by the roadside. After brief formalities, the group headed straight for the town government.
Upon arrival, a deputy director warmly received them.
"Our Jiubao Subdistrict was originally Jiubao Town. On December 25, 2014, it changed from a town to a subdistrict and was given to Jianggan District for direct governance, marking the start of its transformation from a suburban agricultural town to an innovative digital economy..."
Tian Ye had done a great job in preparation and Zhang Dayi’s fame was indeed resounding, which made for a high-standard negotiation meeting.
The attendees included the subdistrict deputy director, committee leaders, economic development office leaders, financial office Brother Yi, and other key figures from the Eastern E-commerce Park.
Leaders spoke in turn, but there was no lengthy bureaucratese, only quite practical introductions.
This was Su Huai’s first time participating in such a meeting.
It was different from what he had imagined; everyone spoke in a certain order, but the main theme did not deviate.
After Director Liu finished the overall report, committee leaders explained the industrial park planning.
"Currently, Jiubao only has one industrial park, the Eastern E-commerce Park, where Ruhan is located. The incentives we can offer include but are not limited to...
Your company is the most renowned and promising MCN agency in the industry. We are willing to enhance and increase our offer based on this foundation to create a win-win situation with your company..."
Then, the park’s head continued with detailed interpretations of the services.
Financial office Brother Yi immediately followed.
"Until the end of November this year, our subdistrict’s total deposits amounted to 20.85 billion yuan, and total loans 15.23 billion yuan.
If your company is willing to invest here, based on the amount of investment made, we can coordinate a low-interest loan from 1 to 1.5 times the investment, negotiable up to a cap of 20 billion..."
Everything went very smoothly.
There was no need for Su Huai to oversell or deploy trickery; the local leaders showed great sincerity, fully fighting to have Xingyu settle down.
It was so simple that Su Huai wondered if he was living in a dream.
