Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 534 - 349: That’s Your Bigger Picture, Not Mine

Chapter 534: Chapter 349: That’s Your Bigger Picture, Not Mine

On the other side, inside Old He’s office.

He was holding a briefcase, just about to get off work, when Director Luo hurriedly ran in to report.

"Leader, people from the Jiang Province Guozhi Committee and Huaineng Group have come, and they are currently talking with Qi Yun, most likely about the photovoltaic project."

Upon hearing this, Old He’s eye twitched involuntarily, and his already expressionless face became even more somber.

"Are you sure?"

Director Luo nodded repeatedly: "I’m sure, they arrived this afternoon, and the two of them are having dinner with Qi Yun now."

Old He paused for two seconds, then waved his hand: "I understand, you may go."

Director Luo dared not say more, bowed slightly, and then left the office.

After the other person left, Old He put down the briefcase, sat back into his chair, frowning as if weighing something.

After about five or six minutes, he called his secretary in and instructed: "Go see if that person has left."

...

In the car on the way home, Qi Yun was still pondering over the proposal Song Zhenhai brought out.

Overall, he was quite satisfied, the only problem being the five billion in funds was a bit beyond his expectation.

Since it involves a series of costly tasks such as building factory premises and purchasing equipment, this five billion must be fully paid up.

Originally, his account had nearly two billion in cash in total, but a few days ago the health product company spent over thirty million, and the deal Tao Ziming negotiated with Lucas used up another ten million dollars, which took away a billion.

Moreover, Xiang Xiaoyue from the online company is also continuously burning money, and now Qi Yun has less than seventy million in cash to spare.

"Should I ask Tian Yaosheng to get me a loan of a few billion?"

With the other party’s current position as vice president of the provincial branch, it should be simple to maneuver, right?

Just not sure if it might involve any violations...

Qi Yun shook his slightly dizzy head and quickly dismissed this idea.

Although five billion is not a small amount, it’s not that big of a problem either. The company needs at least a month or two to prepare, in which time he could completely sell off the water source information at Bogda Peak.

At the very least, two or three billion should be possible, right?

Even if he can’t gather enough, with his connections as President Qi, a couple of casual calls to friends could easily bring in several billion.

While Qi Yun was contemplating, the phone rang.

Qi Yun took out his phone, and the screen displayed a local unfamiliar number without a note.

"Hello, Consultant Qi, I am Secretary to Director Hou (I can’t write about the plant, just Old He’s class monitor, you get the idea), do you have time now? The director wants to meet with you."

Qi Yun frowned at hearing this. He had never interacted with that person, so he couldn’t guess what the purpose of this meeting could be at this hour.

However, refusal was not an option, unless he wanted to antagonize such a big shot intentionally.

"Okay, where?"

"In his office. Consultant Qi, please call me when you arrive downstairs, I’ll come down to meet you." The secretary replied politely.

"Okay." Qi Yun said no more, hung up, and instructed Chen Wei to turn around.

When the Maybach drove into the courtyard, it was already close to ten at night.

As Qi Yun walked into the lobby on the first floor, a middle-aged man briskly approached.

"Hello, Consultant Qi, I’ll take you to the director’s office."

"Okay, thank you." Qi Yun nodded, maintaining an attitude neither humble nor pushy.

Since interacting successively with Secretary Xia, Secretary Jiang, and Secretary Ji, he had developed a certain distaste for people in such roles.

Even if the middle-aged man in front of him held an exalted status, possibly a frequent guest among countless dignitaries, Qi Yun had no interest in currying favor.

The elevator soon reached the tenth floor, and after passing through a corridor, the two entered a suite.

The secretary knocked on the door, heard a voice saying "Come in" from inside, then opened the door and led Qi Yun in.

In the office decorated with antique elegance, an elderly man with gray hair, meticulously combed, was sitting behind a large mahogany desk, holding a pen and focusing on the documents before him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He wore a dark-colored Zhongshan suit, and although he wasn’t intentionally projecting authority, he naturally exuded the powerful aura of someone accustomed to being in a position of power.

This aura was something Qi Yun had only seen with those big shots in Wendong.

"Director, Consultant Qi has arrived." After lightly reporting, the secretary tactfully retreated and closed the door.

Seeing that the elderly man didn’t speak, Qi Yun remained standing in place, not rushing forward recklessly.

He only raised his head after finishing reviewing the document on the desk, casting his gaze toward Qi Yun.

"Please have a seat, Comrade Xiaoqi." The elderly man pointed to the chair in front of the desk, his voice full of vigor, "I’ve heard of your name for a long time now, you’ve made quite the contribution to the country recently, even the people of J province benefit from it."

Qi Yun sat down in the chair, his tone still neither humble nor pushy: "I’ve just done what I can, nothing significant, but I appreciate the director’s recognition."

The elderly man put down the pen in his hand and nodded in satisfaction: "Good, young people who are not arrogant or impetuous, I have high hopes for you."

"The development of J province relies on young entrepreneurs like you."

Qi Yun couldn’t figure out what the old man was getting at, so he just mustered a slight smile: "Thank you for the director’s approval."

"No need to be so formal, I called you over just to have a casual chat." The elderly man leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands together, and continued, "Comrade Xiaoqi, what are your plans regarding the photovoltaic project in the Oil Country? Could you share them with me?"

Qi Yun inwardly breathed a sigh of relief; so that’s what the meeting was about.

Though the timing was somewhat intriguing, he had just met with Pan Dongming and the others, and barely had finished a bladder’s worth of time before receiving this call.

After pondering for a few seconds, he replied candidly: "There’s nothing I can’t share, so I’ll go over the current details, and I’d appreciate the director’s guidance..."

Qi Yun didn’t hide anything, roughly explaining the situation to the elderly man.

The elderly man nodded slightly after hearing it: "It seems the Jiang Province has indeed put a lot of effort into this project."

"But Comrade Xiaoqi, you are a native of J Province, and I trust you have feelings for your homeland, so I hope you consider the development of your hometown as well."

The photovoltaic project was a task personally assigned to Qi Yun by that person, so even he did not have the right to interfere, and could only express his stance in such a roundabout manner.

"Rest assured, Director, that is a given." Qi Yun nodded solemnly, regardless of his internal thoughts, the necessary outward forms must be observed.

"Just that... I also hope that the director could provide me with some support then, so that I can advance this project with confidence and assurance."

Upon hearing this, the elderly man’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, staring directly at Qi Yun, as if he could see through people’s thoughts.

Qi Yun was clear about what kind of support he wanted; the elderly man knew very well, but his usual stance was to prioritize stability.

If such a thing indeed occurred, the entire government office of J Province would experience a great upheaval, which he wished to avoid during his tenure in J Province.

Though it would not directly affect him, there would be some degree of impact.

The elderly man remained silent for a few seconds, his sharp gaze gradually retracting: "I understand the support you seek."

"But Comrade Xiaoqi, we must sometimes approach matters from a broader perspective..."

Qi Yun really wanted to retort, "That’s your broad perspective, not mine." But in the end, he held back...
