Chapter 199 A Feast for Seafood Wholesalers
Qi Tongwei asked Xiao Fan to arrange for someone to show Feng Dagang and Ji Xianglin around. It was their first time in Hong Kong, so he wanted them to visit some of the most famous places in Hong Kong.
Qi Tongwei and Xiao Fan went to Hong Kong's seafood market to explore more sales channels.
If a few stable channels can be found in Hong Kong, Biyun Township can vigorously develop crayfish farming, further boosting the development of Biyun Township.
To increase the income of the people in Biyun Township and enable them to live a better life as soon as possible.
Once Biyun Township has set a good example in crayfish farming, other townships will surely follow suit.
By then, the entire Yunmeng County will be filled with ponds for raising crayfish.
As long as crayfish can be exported to Hong Kong in a stable manner, food companies can continue to grow and earn foreign exchange.
If crayfish can be exported to Japan, Europe, and the United States, the food company might become a major foreign exchange earner in Handong.
If I could become a major foreign exchange earner, I might be able to advance further and become a member of the county party committee standing committee.
At present, Qi Tongwei's goal is to take over as the Party Secretary of Biyun Township, and then strive to become a deputy director-level official and an ordinary deputy county head.
We will develop the new town of Biyun Township, demolish the old town and build a new one, so that the entire Biyun Township will be completely transformed into a modern town.
Then the township was abolished and converted into a town.
At the same time, in his position as deputy county head, he made some achievements within the scope of his responsibilities.
This lays the foundation for his entry into the Standing Committee.
Qi Tongwei dared not hope that he would become a member of the county party committee standing committee immediately after being promoted to deputy director level, but Liang Lu would not let him have his wish.
Qi Tongwei's biggest hope now is to be promoted to deputy director level.
Therefore, he forbade Li Le from telling Wang Zhengqian, Xiao Yuancai, Ji Xuyang, and Fu Jialei about the Hang Seng Index's expected surge and his own long position in the Hang Seng Index.
Wang Zhengqian, Xiao Yuancai, Ji Xuyang, and Fu Jialei have been inspecting many places in Yantai City during this period, but have not yet decided to invest.
Perhaps he could realize his dream of becoming a deputy director by persuading Wang Zhengqian, Xiao Yuancai, Ji Xuyang, and Fu Jialei to invest in Yantai.
The Xiangjiang Investment project in Yunmeng County has been finalized, while the Xiangjiang Investment project in the city has not yet been decided.
If we delay any longer, the provincial authorities will definitely come to snatch him away once they find out.
Hong Kong investment, who wouldn't want it?
Li Le invested one million Hong Kong dollars in Yunmeng County. If Wang Zhengqian, Xiao Yuancai, Ji Xuyang, and Fu Jialei were to invest, it would also be one million Hong Kong dollars.
Four people equals four million Hong Kong dollars.
This is a significant political achievement.
"Xiao Fan, I think our lobsters are quite popular in Hong Kong."
Besides asking the boss, we need to find a few more wholesalers to increase the sales volume of lobsters.
In addition, they registered patents for various ways of eating lobster, such as thirteen-spice, minced garlic, spicy, hot and spicy, pickled cabbage, braised in oil, salt and pepper, steamed, salted egg yolk, dry pot, chilled Shaoxing wine, and mixed noodles, and sold them to restaurants in Hong Kong.
One purchase can last for ten years.
After touring the seafood markets in Hong Kong, Qi Tongwei felt that the market in Hong Kong was very large, and Biyun Township could increase the export volume of lobsters.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Xiao Fan nodded and said that was also his plan.
"Let me ask Boss Xiang if he's free tomorrow. I'd like to treat him to a meal!"
Qi Tongwei wanted to have a good talk with Xiang Dachao to see if he could persuade him to buy more lobsters.
According to Lei Yaohua's plan, adjustments to Biyun Township will begin next month, and Qi Tongwei wants to achieve more before the county makes the adjustments to Biyun Township.
That way, you'll have a better chance of competing for the deputy director position.
We cannot place all our hopes on Wang Zhengqian, Xiao Yuancai, Ji Xuyang, and Fu Jialei.
If they are persuaded by Zeng Yishan and Xu Jun to invest in Yantai City, then I will have no chance to take advantage of them.
Qi Tongwei must generate as much foreign exchange as possible to achieve outstanding results.
Only with outstanding achievements will the city notice.
Of course, a recommendation from the county is also required.
When I go back this time, I need to bring some gifts back for the county leaders to please them.
Also, tell them that the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong will surge.
The gifts didn't actually make them richer.
"Yes, Mayor!"
"By the way, Mayor, the Hang Seng Index has broken through the 7000-point mark!"
Xiao Fan said that since Biyun Technology opened a stock account to go long on the Hang Seng Index, the Hang Seng Index has risen by nearly a thousand points.
The initial investment of HK$1300 million has already been recouped.
"Keep an eye on things, and don't act without my orders!"
Qi Tongwei was afraid that Xiao Fan would sell his multiple orders in advance, which would prevent him from making the money he wanted.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Xiao Fan nodded, indicating that he would strictly follow the township head's instructions.
When Qi Tongwei and Xiao Fan returned to the hotel, Feng Dagang and Ji Xianglin also returned.
"Mayor, Hong Kong truly is an international metropolis; Yunmeng County simply cannot compare!"
Feng Dagang and Ji Xianglin visited many places, and the skyscrapers everywhere in Hong Kong deeply impressed them.
"We had the same feeling when we came here last time, and our city will develop in this direction in the future!"
Once you've seen Hong Kong, you'll realize we still have a long way to go.
The reason for bringing Feng Dagang and Ji Xianglin along was to broaden their horizons.
"Yes, we thought our new towns were already quite remarkable, but compared to Hong Kong, they're practically like rural areas."
Feng Dagang said that the new town of Biyun Township was planned and designed with very few tall buildings.
Compared to the buildings in Hong Kong, it's about the same size as a tiled house in the countryside.
"Our new town is not bad either, but urban development is a step-by-step process and cannot be achieved overnight."
The investment in these skyscrapers in Hong Kong is enormous; the cost of just one building could probably cover the cost of building a new town.
Qi Tongwei said that some high-rise buildings cost several hundred million or even a billion yuan to build, enough to rebuild several new towns in Biyun Township.
On the first day, Qi Tongwei received Xiao Fan's report and Xiang Dachao accepted the invitation.
Qi Tongwei asked Xiao Fan to book a restaurant, and then took Ji Xianglin and Feng Dagang to the meeting.
"Mr. Xiang, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the banquet. We are truly honored!"
Upon seeing Xiang Dachao arrive, Qi Tongwei stepped forward and warmly shook his hand.
"Mayor Qi, you're too kind. It's an honor to be invited by you!"
Xiang Dachao said with a smile.
Since he had a business relationship with Xiao Fan, and Qi Tongwei was Xiao Fan's superior, and Qi Tongwei had invited him to dinner as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, he had to give him face.
"Please come inside!"
After exchanging greetings, Qi Tongwei invited Xiang Dachao to take his seat.
"Mr. Xiang, thank you for giving us an opportunity to bring our village's crayfish into the Hong Kong market."
Qi Tongwei raised his glass to toast Xiang Dachao.
"Mayor Qi, you flatter me. It is you who gave me an opportunity. Otherwise, I would not have had the chance to sell lobsters from the mainland."
Xiang Dachao dared not be presumptuous; he was not the only one selling Xiao Fan's lobsters in Hong Kong.
If they say something bad and stop supplying him, then someone else will take over the market.
Mainland lobsters had just appeared in Hong Kong, and the market was vast, so he seized the opportunity.
He came to the banquet today hoping to further our cooperation.
