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

At this time, it has been more than a month since Zhong Yi took office as mayor of Yinjiang.

After more than a month of cleaning, the underworld forces on the ground of Yinjiang have been uprooted, and gambling halls, big smoke houses, and brothels and dance halls have basically disappeared.

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

Things like the kidnapping of tickets on the street and the molesting of women by detective teams have basically disappeared.

In this regard, of course, the common people applauded, but the squires and wealthy businessmen did not complain, because Zhong Yi's crackdown on gambling halls, big smoke houses and brothels and dance halls caused a significant shrinkage of the service industry in Yinjiang, and the squires and wealthy businessmen lost a lot of oil and water, especially the ban on the opium business, which made them suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, the squires and wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang have not thought of a way, and the money is not much money, and even Yu Fangqing, president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, has personally come forward to try to drive Zhong Yi out of Yinjiang, but unfortunately, no matter how hard the squires and wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang try, Zhong Yi's position is as stable as Mount Tai.

These squires and wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang don't know that Zhong Yi's backstage is a foreigner, so don't talk about them, they are their general backstage principal Chang, and now they are helpless to take Zhong Yi.

Although Zhong Yi hates foreigners very much, he doesn't like to be self-respecting by foreigners.

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

……

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

Zhang Mouzhi and Zhang Yuanxi arrived yesterday afternoon.

But Zhang Manyi and Mrs. Zhang will just go to Jinhua.

Because Zhang Mouzhi was really moved by what Zhong Yi said, he took Zhang Yuanxi to Yinjiang in advance.

And as soon as he arrived in Yinjiang yesterday afternoon, he couldn't wash his face, so he 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 endless farmland outside the window, as well as the river between the farmland, Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said: "Ziren, such a large area of farmland and rivers are all filled, especially the Xitang River, and the three links must be realized, this amount of work is really not small!" Can you Yinjiang City's finances afford it? ”

Without waiting for Zhong Yi to speak, Zhang Yuanxi replied: "Dad, didn't Ziren already say yesterday that the construction of Yinjiang Industrial Park belongs to rolling development, not to develop the entire area as soon as it comes up, but to develop a part of it first, and then develop the next area when the first area is mature." ”

Although it was only one day, Zhang Yuanxi, who had been officially appointed by Zhong Yi as the secretary general of the Yinjiang Planning and Construction Bureau, quickly entered his role, no matter the tone of his speech or the position of considering the problem, he was already standing in the position of the secretary general of the Yinjiang Planning and Construction Bureau, and was no longer the position of the second son of the Zhang family.

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

With a muffled snort, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "Even if it is only a part of the area that is developed first, it is more than 5,000 acres, and its investment is also an astronomical amount, even if it is the most conservative estimate, it will require at least 50 million fiat currency!" But what was the revenue of your Yinjiang City last year? If I'm not mistaken, five million fiat? ”

After a pause, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "That is to say, your Yinjiang Municipal Government needs to go without food or drink for at least ten years to save all the money for the development of the first area!" Ziren, you're taking too big a step! ”

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

Because Zhong Yi meant to ask the Zhang family to advance funds for construction, that is, the old Zhang family first paid for the three-way project in the first area, and then waited for foreign-funded enterprises to settle in, workers to move in, and other supporting services to do, and the land price rose, and then the Yinjiang Municipal Government could obtain a large amount of income through the sale of land, and then repay the arrears of the Zhang family.

Of course, with the strength of the Zhang family alone, it is impossible to advance all the funds, 50 million, even if all the properties of the old Zhang family are sold, it is impossible to make so much money.

So, in the end, you have to borrow money from the bank.

Moreover, Zhong Yi has repeatedly promised 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 plan falls through, and the Yinjiang Industrial Park is not done, the old Zhang family will be burdened with debts that will not be repaid in ten lifetimes!

But then again, this is indeed a good opportunity, because before that, whether it was in his hometown Jiujiang, or later after taking the line of Song Ziwen to Nanjing, the Zhang family only got the corners of municipal construction, unlike now, what Zhong Yi gave them was a project of Yinjiang New Town!

The entire new city project was all completed by their Zhang family's construction company!

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

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

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

At that moment, Zhang Mouzhi said: "Ziren, do you see if you can do this, take a loan from Yinjiang Development Bank in the name of the Yinjiang Municipal Government, and then the Yinjiang Municipal Government will release seventy percent of the money to our Zhang family in the form of project advance payment, and wait until the project is accepted, and then release the remaining thirty percent?" ”

When Zhong Yi heard this, he grinned and said, "Dad, I'm afraid this won't work." ”

Zhang Yuanxi also smiled bitterly: "Dad, it is impossible for the Yinjiang Municipal Government to take out a loan." ”

"How is it impossible?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "You haven't tried it, how can you say it's impossible?" ”

"Impossible is impossible." Zhang Yuanxi said, "One is that the Yinjiang Development Bank will not lend to the municipal government, and the second is that if the Yinjiang municipal government does this, it will be a violation of the rules!" ”

Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said: "If this is the case, then the scale of the first phase will be reduced again, and it is still a bit difficult to develop more than 5,000 acres of land at once, otherwise how about developing 1,000 acres of land first?" ”

"A thousand acres is too little." Zhang Yuanxi shook his head and said, "After all, in the first phase of the planned new district, in addition to industrial land, there must also be residential land and commercial land, plus some municipal public facilities to occupy the land, what is 1,000 acres of land enough for?" Five thousand acres are a bit reluctant. ”
