In a blink of an eye, time came to the end of 1938.

It has been more than a month since Zhong Yi took office as mayor of Yinjiang.

After more than a month of cleaning, the evil forces on the ground in Yinjiang were uprooted, and gambling halls, opium opium halls and brothel dance halls were basically extinct.

Correspondingly, the social security in Yinjiang has also improved greatly.

Things like the detective team kidnapped in the street and teased women have basically disappeared.

Of course, the common people applauded, but the rich gentry and businessmen complained, because Zhong Yi's crackdown on gambling halls, opium opium halls and brothel dance halls caused the service industry in Yinjiang to shrink significantly. The rich gentry and businessmen lost a lot of money for this, especially the ban on opium business caused them to suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, the rich and wealthy gentry in Yinjiang had thought of ways, and they spent a lot of money. Even Yu Fangqing, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, came out in person to drive Zhong Yi out of Yinjiang. Unfortunately, no matter how hard the rich and wealthy gentry in Yinjiang tried, Zhong Yi's position was as stable as Mount Tai.

These gentry and wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang don’t know that Zhong Yi’s backstage is foreigners, so let alone them, even their chief backstage President Chang, now he is helpless with Zhong Yi.

Although Zhong Yi hates foreigners very much, he doesn't like to take over foreigners and respect himself.

But the reality is that he must now rely on the authority of foreigners.

...

Early in the morning of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, citizens of Yinjiang were busy celebrating the New Year, but Zhong Yi drove himself, taking his father-in-law Zhang Mouzhi and his second brother-in-law Zhang Yuanxi to the west bank of the canal again.

Zhang Mouzhi and Zhang Yuanxi arrived yesterday afternoon.

But Zhang Manyi, Mrs. Zhang and the others have just arrived in Jinhua.

Because Zhang Mouzhi was so moved by Zhong Yi, he brought Zhang Yuanxi to Yinjiang in advance.

Moreover, when I arrived in Yinjiang yesterday afternoon, I didn’t even bother to wash my face, so I forced Zhong Yi to take him to the west bank of the canal.

As a result, one night passed, and early this morning, Zhang Mouzhi forced Zhong Yi to take him to the west bank of the canal again.

Looking at the vast farmland outside the window and the rivers between the farmlands, Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said, "Zi Ren, such a large area of ​​farmland and rivers are filled, especially the Xitang River needs to be filled and the three-way connection must be realized. The project volume is really not small! Can your Yinjiang Municipal Finance Department be able to bear it?"

Before Zhong Yi could speak, Zhang Yuanxi replied: "Dad, didn't Ziren say that yesterday? The construction of Yinjiang Industrial Park is a rolling development. It is not necessary to develop the entire area as soon as it starts. Instead, it is to develop part of it first. When the first area is mature, then the next area will be developed."

Although it was only one day, Zhang Yuanxi, who had been officially appointed as the Secretary-General of the Yinjiang Planning and Construction Bureau by Zhong Yi, quickly entered his role. Whether it was speaking or considering the problem, he was already standing on the position of the Secretary-General of the Yinjiang Planning and Construction Bureau, rather than the position of the second son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Mouzhi immediately groaned, very dissatisfied with his second son's change in position.

With a muffled groan, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "Even if you only develop part of the area first, it will be more than 5,000 acres. The investment is astronomical. Even if it is the most conservative estimate, it will require at least 50 million fiat currency! But how much was your Yinjiang City fiscal revenue last year? If I was not wrong, five million fiat currency?"

After pausing, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "That is to say, your Yinjiang Municipal Government needs to not eat or drink for at least ten years to save up all the funds for the development of the first area! Zi Ren, you are taking a little too big!"

In the words, Zhang Mouzhi was full of worries, but he still felt that the risk in the middle was too high.

Because Zhong Yi meant that the Zhang family should advance funds to build the construction, that is, the Zhang family first paid for the three-way project in the first area, then waited for foreign-funded enterprises to settle in, workers to move in, and various supporting services to increase the land price. Then the Yinjiang Municipal Government can obtain a large amount of income by selling land, and then repay the Zhang family's arrears.

Of course, it is impossible to advance all the funds with the strength of the Zhang family. Even if you sell all the industries of the Zhang family, you will not be able to raise so much money.

So, you must borrow money from the bank in the end.

Moreover, Zhong Yi has repeatedly guaranteed that Yinjiang Development Bank can provide a special low-interest loan to the Zhang family, but even so, Zhang Mouzhi still feels that the risk is too great, because the bank loan is borrowed in the name of the old Zhang family. Once Zhong Yi's idea fails and Yinjiang Industrial Park is not done, the old Zhang family will bear the debt that will never be paid off for ten lives!

But then again, this is indeed a good opportunity, because before that, whether in his hometown Jiujiang or later when he came to Nanjing after taking the line from Song Ziwen, the Zhang family only gained the edges of municipal construction. Unlike now, what Zhong Yi gave them is a project of Yinjiang New City!

The entire new city project will be completed by their Zhang family’s construction company!

Moreover, this is not a small city with a population of tens of thousands, but a big city with a population of millions!

If this project is done well, the Zhang family will definitely become the leader in the Chinese real estate industry! Even the real estate company of Shanghai's richest man Sassoon will be left behind by the Zhang family.

Zhang Mouzhi really wants to do this project, but the risk is really too great!

Zhang Mouzhi said now: "Zi Ren, can you see if you can do this? You can borrow money from Yinjiang Development Bank in the name of Yinjiang Municipal Government, and then the Yinjiang Municipal Government will distribute 70% of the money to our Zhang family in the form of project advance payment. After the project acceptance is passed, the remaining 30% will be distributed?"

When Zhong Yi heard this, he grinned and said, "Dad, this may not work."

Zhang Yuanxi also smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, it is impossible for the Yinjiang Municipal Government to make a loan."

"Why is it impossible?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "You haven't tried it, why do you say it's impossible?"

"Impossible is impossible." Zhang Yuanxidao, "One is that Yinjiang Development Bank will not lend to the municipal government, and secondly, if Yinjiang Municipal Government does this, it will break the rules!"

Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said, "If this is the case, then the scale of the first phase will be reduced. It is still a bit difficult to develop more than 5,000 acres of land. Otherwise, how about developing one thousand acres of land first?"
Chapter completed!
