Chapter 336 - 184: Chairman Qi’s Charisma (3)

Jie Chao briefly introduced the two men to Qi Sheng.

"This is Mayor Liu Yuan of Longxing Town, and this is Secretary Liang Shoucai of Liangjing Village."

"A pleasure to meet you, Chairman Qi."

Liu Yuan and Liang Shoucai both shook Qi Sheng’s hand with great enthusiasm.

Whether the farm would actually be built or not was ultimately up to this God of Wealth.

"Let’s have a look around first before we discuss anything."

Qi Sheng didn’t commit to anything right away.

With his arm around Chu Qing, he began to stroll through the village.

"President Jie?"

Liu Yuan and Liang Shoucai could only look to Jie Chao, unable to figure out what Chairman Qi was thinking.

"Just give him an honest overview of the situation."

Jie Chao quickly hurried to catch up with Qi Sheng.

"Chairman Qi, our village has a lot of advantages..."

Taking the hint, Secretary Liang launched into a long list of its merits.

The core advantages were its proximity to downtown Chengdu and its very cheap land prices.

"Chairman Qi, we here in Longxing Town are very sincere. We can offer your company support in the form of tax breaks and other incentives."

"If you can really follow through with the 150 million yuan investment, I can help you secure the ’Outstanding Provincial Entrepreneur’ award."

Liu Yuan gritted his teeth, making the best offer he could.

"Oh?"

Qi Sheng looked at Liu Yuan with some surprise.

"Mayor Liu has that kind of pull?"

"To be honest with you, Chairman Qi, this is just a temporary post for me. You give me a political achievement, and I’ll give you an honor. It’s mutually beneficial."

Liu Yuan really couldn’t think of anything else.

What could possibly impress this wealthy young heir who drove a Cullinan and casually invested hundreds of millions?

’Perhaps only these empty honors would pique his interest even slightly.’

"President Jie, supporting the nation’s three rural issues and helping villagers prosper has always been our company’s guiding philosophy."

"As for the location of the organic farm, I think Liangjing Village will be perfect."

Qi Sheng gazed at the vast, weed-covered expanse of empty land before them, high-spiritedly laying out his vision.

"I heard Secretary Liang mention earlier that Liangjing Village has two specialty Chongzhou brands: ’Longxing Rice’ and ’Chongyang Daqu’."

"We can absolutely create a Sichuan liquor-themed district and a distillery tour experience."

"We can attract tourists and then find ways to increase their willingness to spend."

"For example, we could add more things that young people like, such as go-karts and live-action CS games."

"With more entertainment options in the village, the local economy will be revitalized. It’ll naturally become more popular, creating more ways for the villagers to increase their income."

Seeing Qi Sheng, who had seemed uninterested just moments ago, now talking non-stop about his development ideas for Liangjing Village gave the two men the strange impression that they were listening to a higher-up leader on an inspection tour.

Qi Sheng talked at length, but the core of his plan was to use orders from Zhuangyu Farm to stimulate the villagers’ enthusiasm for planting.

It was a pilot project strategy: use the farm and its agritourism attractions to draw in more tourists to spend money.

Where there are people, there is consumption.

"Chairman Qi, how many mu of land does your company plan to acquire?"

In his heart, Liu Yuan estimated that 500 mu would be the absolute maximum.

When companies like this invested, they always made a huge fuss.

But when it was actually time to put up the money, they would always hedge and delay.

"Let’s acquire a total of 3,000 mu. We’ll start with 700 mu in the initial phase."

"Two hundred mu for grain and oil crops, 100 mu for an orchard, 300 mu for a vegetable base, and 100 mu for poultry farming."

"In addition, set aside 10 mu for construction. We’re going to build our own on-site restaurant and guesthouses."

"We’ll also create a large-scale corn maze and add more family-friendly activities, amusement facilities, and an agricultural sightseeing park."

"The initial investment of 50 million yuan will arrive at the beginning of next month."

"The subsequent 100 million yuan will be disbursed in installments."

When Liu Yuan heard the initial investment alone was 50 million, he was instantly overjoyed and rushed to declare his position.

"Chairman Qi, rest assured! Secretary Liang and I will do everything in our power to cooperate with your company’s land acquisition and ensure you can build and operate without any obstacles."

"Then I’ll be counting on you, Mayor Liu."

Qi Sheng knew why the man was so excited.

Securing a 50 million yuan investment was definitely the best result Liu Yuan had delivered in his political career.

"Of course. It’s all about serving the people."

Seeing that it was almost evening, Liu Yuan asked with a grin.

"Chairman Qi, how about I find a place for us to have a simple dinner?"

"I appreciate the offer, Mayor Liu, but I have company business to attend to."

"From now on, President Jie will be fully in charge of matters here."

It was true that Qi Sheng had his system to protect him, but there was no need to get too close to these officials.

"Of course. We’ll get together another time, then."

Liu Yuan was a little disappointed but quickly expressed his understanding.

He knew that for a tycoon of Qi Sheng’s stature, even exchanging a few words with him was a rare opportunity.

Watching the Cullinan kick up dust as it drove away, all three men left behind were beaming.

Liu Yuan, because he had his political achievement.

Liang Shoucai, because the villagers would now have an income.

And Jie Chao, because a sales channel for the farm’s produce was already secured.

All that was left was for the farm to be built.

With a major client like Spicy King, there would be no problem selling the organic ingredients grown on the farm.

...

「Back in the city, it was already almost six o’clock.」

He’d eaten so much at lunch that he wasn’t very hungry for dinner.

Qi Sheng went to Chu Qing’s place, which made her ecstatic.

Qi Sheng now had fifteen girlfriends.

Even if he spent one day with each of them in rotation, it would be half a month before her turn came around.

The moment they walked in, Chu Qing began to show off her assets.

As she bent over to get his slippers, her full, round bottom stretched the tight fabric of her hip-hugging skirt taut.

Beneath the skirt, her two straight, slender legs were astonishingly long.

She was wearing flesh-toned, sheer stockings and a pair of milky-white, red-soled stiletto heels.

How could Qi Sheng possibly be in the mood to change into slippers? He quickly kicked off his shoes.

He swept Chu Qing into his arms and headed for the bedroom.

"What are you doing? I haven’t even taken my shoes off."

"Why take them off? They give me an attack speed buff."

"You’re awful! Don’t rip them, these stockings were expensive."

"I’ll buy you a hundred pairs tomorrow. Then I can rip as many as I want."

Seeing Qi Sheng’s impatient look, Chu Qing inwardly smirked, her little ploy having succeeded.

But soon, she wasn’t smiling anymore.

Without her "sisters" to help out, bearing the brunt of Qi Sheng’s "fury" all by herself was a bit much for her to handle.

After three consecutive rounds, Qi Sheng was finally and thoroughly satisfied.

Chu Qing expertly clipped a cigar for him, then lit it and brought it to his lips.

She had specially watched videos for a long time to learn how, just to make him happy.

She had ruined quite a few cheap cigars to achieve this level of skill.

"Not bad."

Qi Sheng was a little surprised. He took an enjoyable puff of the cigar, then slowly exhaled the smoke.

"If you like this brand, I’ll buy you a few more boxes."

Watching Qi Sheng exhale the blue-tinged smoke, Chu Qing found him inexplicably handsome.

Lying on his chest, Chu Qing tilted her head up to look at the man who had been "bullying" her so fiercely just moments before.

"It tastes pretty good. How much is a box?"

"Not too expensive. Only 80,000."

"That’s not bad. Is it a Cohiba?"

"Mhm, it’s the Majestic 1966. I think it was a global limited edition of 1,966 boxes or something. I bought you three."

Seeing the look of eager anticipation in Chu Qing’s eyes, Qi Sheng pinched her cheek, amused.

"I’m not a chain-smoker. A few cigars now and then is enough."

Qi Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn’t bring himself to scold his little spendthrift.

"But you just look so handsome when you smoke a cigar," Chu Qing pouted, speaking with all sincerity.

Whether it was a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder or not, in her eyes, Qi Sheng was the most handsome man in the world, bar none.

"Oh yeah? How handsome?"

"Just..."

Chu Qing couldn’t describe it, so she decided to express it with her actions instead.

"Mmm, I see now. Every single one of you is hopelessly infatuated."

The smoke Qi Sheng exhaled from his cigar perfectly echoed Chu Qing, who was busily "exhaling and inhaling" herself.

Chu Qing found it disgusting when other men smoked.

But the smoke Qi Sheng exhaled? She savored it.

This was probably a case of "if you love someone, even their farts smell sweet."

Watching Chu Qing soar upwards, all Qi Sheng had to do was smoke his cigar and watch the beauty before him, her gorgeous long hair dancing gracefully.
