<h4>Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: You little rascal, a God of Wealth, huh!</h4>


    Bai Xiaosheng looked serious and appeared to have something to say to the Mayor, who also put down his teacup.


    "Sheng, if there is anything you need to discuss, feel free to speak!" Mayor Ji Mingyang said earnestly.


    Zhang Meng also turned to look at Bai Xiaosheng.


    Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "I want to ask, what do you think is at the root of this chaos we are facing?"


    What Bai Xiaosheng referred to was Gao Siyu’s sudden termination of cooperation, nning to relocate businesses out of the city, causing confusion for Zhongjing City Government and Zhongjing.


    "The root cause lies with your group, with Gao Siyu. A man’s greed is like a snake wishing to swallow an elephant."


    Zhang Meng, recalling what Gao Siyu had done, as well as the troubles it brought to Zhongjing and the city government, still felt some anger.


    Even if Bai Xiaosheng had managed to stabilize all of Zhenbei Group’s enterprises in Zhongjing and recover their original pace,


    the operations of many businesses had been affected by Gao Siyu’s series of actions!


    Many enterprises had be restless!


    Numerous businesses that had established cooperation with Zhongjing City Government even dared to y their own small games!


    To think, in the past, such a thing would have been unimaginable!


    Even Zhang Meng and Mayor Ji Mingyang couldn’t believe that the businesses cooperating with the city government would dare to act deceitfully!


    What’s more, it was supposed to be a win-win situation.


    The benefits for those businesses were obvious!


    Who would be so foolish as to ignore the prospect of making money and instead court trouble?


    "Secretary Zhang, I think what you said is not quite right," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.


    Zhang Meng was taken aback.


    What I said wasn’t correct?


    Could it be that the problem’s root isn’t Gao Siyu—could it perhaps be the city government?


    Zhang Meng was somewhat incredulous.


    Ever since Bai Xiaosheng had asked his question, Mayor Ji Mingyang had been frowning in thought, as if considering something.


    At this moment, Mayor Ji Mingyang looked up at Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes bright, "Indeed, the crux of this chaos doesn’t really lie with Gao Siyu."


    "It’s with the city government!" Mayor Ji Mingyang affirmed.


    Zhang Meng looked at Mayor Ji Mingyang in shock.


    Mr. Ji, are you under too much stress?


    How could the root cause of this turmoil be within the city government?


    "Sheng, let’s hear your thoughts; enlighten me!"


    Mayor Ji Mingyang saw Zhang Meng’s bewildered face and smiled, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng encouragingly.


    Bai Xiaosheng smiled and did not demur.


    "Mr. Ji, in the past year, I’ve visited many ces and have seen a variety of local support policies."


    "We always believed that the city government holds ultimate cohesion and credibility, and brings many benefits to businesses."


    "Businesses would not act unexpectedly."


    "Therefore, we neglected the importance of cooperation! Even cooperation between the city government and businesses must be based on formal contracts!"


    "Moreover, they can’t be too short—they shouldst at least five years!"


    "Additionally, support policies should be flexible and varied, notcking in structure!"


    "There need to be regtions allowing businesses to increase their support based on their contributions."


    "In a nutshell, let businesses integrate into urban construction for the long term and be able to profit and advance!"


    Listening to Bai Xiaosheng’s words, Zhang Meng was struck with amazement.


    It seemed... to really make sense!


    "There must be rules to make things work!" Mayor Ji Mingyangmented, "I’ve only just thought of this! This basic principle is always remembered when we go astray, which shouldn’t be the case!"


    Mayor Ji Mingyang’s realization was exactly in line with Bai Xiaosheng’s point of view.


    And yet, Bai Xiaosheng was so young!


    Zhang Meng looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a series of sighs in his heart.


    This young man shouldn’t be doing business; if he entered politics, his potential would be boundless!


    Considering that Mr. Ji has been mayor for so many years, weathering countless storms to develop such a unique perspective, and yet Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be born with the gift of getting straight to the essence of matters!


    "I’ll get on this immediately!"


    Without hesitation, Zhang Meng took out his notebook and jotted down notes.


    "Our group will coborate with the city government to be the first round of signatories!"


    "In doing so, we can lead by example and influence other businesses, and also have a safeguard in ce to prevent troublemakers like Li Siyu or Wang Siyu from causing disorder while I’m not in Zhongjing."


    "If anyone dares to create chaos, the city government can sue them directly," Bai Xiaosheng said with augh.


    Mayor Ji Mingyang nodded with a smile.


    "Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Ji, I also have a little personal request," Bai Xiaosheng suddenly mentioned.


    A personal request?


    Mayor Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng exchanged surprised looks, both somewhat puzzled.


    "Zhongjing’s development is just too fast, too fantastic! At first nce, I felt there were big bucks to be made," Bai Xiaoshengughed. "So, I want my brothers’panies to have a slice of the pie too!"


    This is about attracting investment to Zhongjing!


    What a great thing!


    And where’s the selfishness in this?


    "Of course, you’re helping to build up Zhongjing. Just for the contributions you, Bai Xiaosheng, have made, I’ll offer thesepanies the most favorable support!" Mayor Ji Mingyang said with heartyughter.


    Naturally, such generosity was based on the fact that the iing enterprises were truly substantial and could genuinely aid Zhongjing’s development.


    In this regard, Mayor Ji Mingyang believed that thepanies Bai Xiaosheng mentioned to his face wouldn’t be just any small-time operations.


    "What kind of enterprises are they?" Zhang Meng also smiled. "Perhaps we’ve heard of them too."


    Zhang Meng wasn’t just being polite.


    After all, Bai Xiaosheng’s status was not low, and his friends’ businesses were bound to be somewhat famous.


    They might even rank among the top 500 domestically.


    "One is called Xue Lian Wan He, just established, with a registered capital of one hundred million," Bai Xiaosheng said.


    Mayor Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng nodded slightly.


    A registered capital of one hundred million really wasn’t small.


    "Another is called Zunbai Zhisheng, a big datapany that provides various foundational and analytical data..."


    "Zunbai Zhisheng?!" Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng eximed in unison.


    "Sheng, are you talking about thatpany in Linshen..." Mayor Ji Mingyang asked rapidly.


    "It can’t be, that enterprise is, it’s among the top 100 internationally! In its industry, it dominates Asia!" Zhang Meng expressed with disbelief.


    "It’s Linshen’s Zunbai Zhisheng, um, there’s no duplicate," Bai Xiaosheng said.


    Such an awkwardpany name, it’d be strange if there were two of them...


    At the same time, he felt somewhat surprised.


    Dominate Asia in its industry?


    He had never heard Ron, that chubby guy, mention that before.


    Did that chubby foreigner actually learn to be modest?


    "Sheng, are you serious!" Mayor Ji Mingyang’s voice grew more urgent.


    They had long wanted to attract Zunbai Zhisheng!


    Unfortunately, other city governments seeking coboration were strong cities!


    Zhongjing unfortunately lost out!


    Mr. Ji had several sleepless nights, full of regret and helpless frustration.


    But unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng said he could attract them!


    Mayor Ji Mingyang could scarcely believe it; his eyes were glued to Bai Xiaosheng, fearing he would say it wasn’t possible.


    "Well, I have some shares over there, and if I ask them toe, that shouldn’t be a big problem," Bai Xiaosheng, too, was frightened by the excitement of Mr. Ji and Secretary Zhang, and couldn’t help but mutter.


    To Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng, it seemed as if Bai Xiaosheng spoke of this so nonchntly!


    With just a few words, you’d pull in Zunbai Zhisheng?


    That simply outdoes the city government’s business development department.


    Overwhelmed with excitement, Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng were at a loss for words.


    "There’s also apany called Shengsheng International; I don’t know if either of you have heard of them, their name might be a bit crude," Bai Xiaosheng said, a bit embarrassed.


    That guy from Zhengdong Province, when expanding thepany into a group, chose such a lousy name.


    Shengsheng International?


    It was just thest character of two people’s names, stacked together.


    But if we’re talking about embarrassing names, Zunbai Zhisheng and Xue Lian Wan He aren’t much better...


    "Shengsheng International!" Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng nearly shouted in unison, their eyes even widening.


    "You’ve heard of them?" Bai Xiaosheng was startled.


    In fact, he wasn’t clear on how far Zhengdong Province’spany had developed.


    But Zheng Pangzi, that was Tengyun Lu Yun’s future son-inw.


    Presumably, his future father-inw’s support was quite significant.


    "Top 100 domestically!" mused Ji Mingyang.


    "Also number one in its industry!" murmured Zhang Meng.


    Bai Xiaosheng was speechless.


    It seemed Zheng Pangzi was even more impressive than him.


    "There’s also Tengyun’s Lu Qingfeng whom I’m on good terms with if you need..."


    Tengyun!


    Lu Qingfeng!


    Mayor Ji Mingyang’s eyes turned red with excitement, nodding vigorously.


    "We need them, we need them all!"


    "Sheng, I really didn’t expect this! You, my boy, are truly a God of Wealth!"
