On April 1, 96, on the day of "April Fool's Day" for Westerners, Shi Wensheng took up the post of executive vice mayor of Kang'an City and member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee!

Also on this day, Carrefour Group publicly spread rumors, showing that Carrefour Group did not have any Jihua that withdrew from Kang'an City, but planned to open another Carrefour supermarket branch in the urban area of Kang'an City within two years!

On this day, a sensational news broke out in Fengyuan City, and Fengyuan City will strive to start construction of the first subway line in Fengyuan City before the advent of the new century, and it is estimated that the entire line will be 21 kilometers long, running through the ancient city from north to south! The Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and the Fengyuan City Party Committee and Government have already formally set up a project to study and strive to report it to the relevant state departments for approval before the end of the year

You must know that in '96, only the big cities in China, such as Beijing and Shanghai, had subways, while other cities in the country, even if they were provincial capitals, had already numbered millions of urban residents! The astonishing construction costs, as well as the annual operating expenses required in the future, made the city governments of many provincial capitals at that time daunted the construction of subways. However, all the citizens of Fengyuan who have been to big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai admit that the subway transportation system does have unparalleled speed compared with the bus system!

Being able to have a subway can undoubtedly greatly improve the traffic environment of Fengyuan City, enhance the status of Fengyuan City in China, and also conform to the image of Fengyuan City as a thousand-year-old ancient capital! It also greatly enhances the pride of Fengyuan City citizens!

However, there are also many people who wonder if this is a show by the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government and the Fengyuan City Party Committee and Government! You must know that with Fengyuan City's current financial situation, it cannot afford the construction and operation costs of the subway at all, even if it is also financially stretched, the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will give support. You must know that now I don't know how many state-owned enterprises in Qinxi Province have fallen into losses, many workers are waiting to be laid off, and the provincial and municipal finances can't even ensure the income of laid-off workers, so how can they have spare money to develop such a big project!

"It seems that the Fang family is planning to copy the Jingji model of the capital to Fengyuanlai!" Zheng Wei patted the information on the table and smiled.

Since Xie Zeyang and Zheng Wei decided to take a step back and fulfilled the Fang family's wishes, the Fang family naturally responded quickly!

First of all, he proposed to transfer Shi Wenjian to Kang'an City as executive vice mayor and member of the Standing Committee of the Feng Committee, and take over as the mayor of Kang'an City within the next six months.

The Fang family promised to invest 1 billion yuan in Kang'an City within three years from the date Shi Wenzhi became the mayor of Kang'an City, and ensured that the economic development rate of Kang'an City within three years would not be less than 20%!

Needless to say, what does the investment of 1 billion yuan mean? Kang'an City's work of attracting investment last year was only less than 10 million yuan after a busy year, and there is still a lot of water in it! What Xie Zeyang and Zheng Wei attach more importance to is the Fang family's promise to ensure that Kang'an City's economic development rate will not be less than 20 percent within three years! They calculated that if we take Kang'an City's GDP last year as a calculation, and each of the three years will increase by 20 percent on the basis of the previous year, which means that in three years' time, Kang'an City's GDP will reach 173 percent of last year's, that is to say, with a little more effort, it is possible that Kang'an City's annual GDP will double in three years! From then on, it will change from the most backward area in Qinxi Province to a medium-sized region!

Kang'an City's annual GDP has doubled, and since then it has taken off the hat of the most backward area in the province, which has brought not only the benefits of the improvement of the local financial situation, the increase in the employment rate of workers, and social stability, but also the dazzling achievements of their leaders!

Of course, Xie Zeyang and the others are not without doubts, whether the Fang family has the ability to realize this promise, it can't just be a big pie for everyone to fill their hunger. However, after pondering and pondering, most of these people on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee think that they should try!

First of all, Shi Wensheng's work in Lishan District and Pingchuan District has achieved good results, of course, there are also support factors from the Fang family. But it is undeniable that he is indeed grasping the economy and has a relatively strong ability!

Second, even if Kang'an City's future economic development does not meet the standard promised by the Fang family, within three years, if it can bring 1 billion yuan of solid investment to Kang'an City, so that Kang'an City's economy can grow somewhat, and it will not be too much to promote him to mayor! Anyway, in recent years, Kang'an City's economy has been half-dead, and not only has there been no obvious growth, but because of the slump in state-owned enterprises, there has been a sharp retreat.

Third, it is the selfishness of Xie Zeyang and Zheng Wei, although it is said that the cadres of Tangyin County are almost all wiped out, and the cadres of Kang'an City are still under investigation, although the two have decided to satisfy the Fang family, but the people of the Fang family are charging on the front line themselves, wouldn't it be better?

Then the Fang family put forward a proposal to build the first subway line in Fengyuan City! This was really a big surprise to Zeyang and Zheng Wei!

It is true that the financial revenue of Qinxi Province and Fengyuan City is beyond their means, and they are simply unable to support the subway construction project in Fengyuan City, but the Fang family proposed that all the construction costs of the Fengyuan subway should be raised by the Fang family, but the land along the subway line in the non-urban area will be handed over to the Fang family for development. This is undoubtedly a copy of the Jingji City Railway Construction Project in Beijing.

The total investment of this project is in full swing according to the statistics of the relevant departments, and by the time all the projects are completed, it may eventually exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars! It is an important driving force for the rapid economic development of the capital in 95 years!

This proposal naturally made Xie Zeyang and Zheng Wei overjoyed, not only because such a large project would play a tremendous role in stimulating the economy of Fengyuan City and Qinxi Province, but also because of its operability! With the Jingji City Railway in advance, when Qinxi Province requested the approval of the relevant state departments, it would naturally suffer a lot less of all kinds of difficulties, otherwise, it would have been unhappy with the Jingcheng City Government. Moreover, all the funds are raised by the Fang family, and there is no need for the relevant state departments to allocate funds, so those bigwigs naturally have no chance to point fingers on this matter.

The only thing to worry about is whether the Fang family can take on this huge project independently!

"Money is not an issue! Lou has received a promise from the Kautel Bank to provide ample loans. Fang Mingyuan smiled. Although the Fang family made frequent big moves last year, and projects started one after another, the capital chain was very stable.

And so far, the funds used are still the domestic funds of the Fang family, and the overseas funds of the Fang family have basically not entered the Chinese market in a big way.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the business of Kausel Bank, which had been in operation for nearly five years, jointly funded by Prince Abdullah, Prince Maktum and the Fang family, into Huaxia.

Kausel Bank, this is the current name of Prince Abdullah after he decided to change the name of the bank after obtaining the Kausel Manor, for this, Fang Mingyuan and Prince Maktum naturally will not object. Today, Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum jointly own 50.1 percent of the shares, and Fang Mingyuan owns 49.9 percent of the shares.

It can be said that Fang Mingyuan is the largest shareholder of Kautser Bank, but in terms of overall shares, this is still a bank in which Arabs hold a controlling stake. The reason for this arrangement is not that Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum intend to take control of Kautel Bank, for them, the rolling money is far less important to them than Fang Mingyuan's friendship. After all, with a large number of oilfield shares and a noble status, they can have a stable huge income every year.

Money, for them, is not a problem at all!

But Fang Mingyuan's friendship is different, the reason why Prince Abdullah can rise again and again in the Kuwait king's mold, is all related to Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan is now in the Kuwaiti royal family, and has a very good reputation, with Fang Mingyuan's friendship, in Prince Abdullah's view, it is Allah's gift to him, just some bank shares, giving Fang Mingyuan for nothing in vain, as long as Fang Mingyuan can continue to bring him the favor of Allah!

As for Prince Maktum, under the guidance of Fang Mingyuan, the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the Emirate of Dubai has now entered the stage of completion of the main project and interior decoration. Although it is far from the time of official opening, it has already attracted countless international attention. Many European and American tourists will come all the way to see the unfinished Burj Al Arab.

The name of the Emirate of Dubai is gradually becoming known to the world. This made Prince Maktum very happy. And for Fang Mingyuan, who helped him realize his wishes, he was naturally even more grateful.

It is only because of the fact that Kausser Bank is controlled by Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum, which will be very convenient for the bank to conduct business in Arabia and develop customers, so that this status quo is maintained. In private, Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum had already signed an agreement that they would transfer 30 percent of their shares to Fang Mingyuan as soon as the conditions permitted, so as to ensure Fang Mingyuan's controlling position in the bank.
