Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 982 - 981

Lin Fan extended his hand and shook hands with the mayor, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept Mayor Zhou waiting. I was delayed by a personal matter."

The mayor of Hang City, surnamed Zhou, had been someone Lin Fan had already researched through various channels before coming here.

"Haha, no problem, I was the one who was abrupt. I heard that Mr. Lin had come to Hang City and wanted to meet him. I've long admired Mr. Lin's reputation, and today is the first time I've met you, and the fame is truly deserved." Mayor Zhou laughed.

Lin Fan truly was a talented person, a dragon among men, a mysterious and legendary tycoon whom many considered the chosen one.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Previously, Mayor Zhou invited our company to Hang City for an inspection. Our team is still finalizing the date. Actually, I came to Hang City for personal reasons this time, but since I'm here, I thought I'd visit Mayor Zhou along the way."

Mayor Zhou laughed heartily and said, "Great minds think alike, Mr. Lin, please have a seat."

Mayor Zhou invited Lin Fan to sit down and also took a seat himself.

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. Today, being able to meet you is a great joy for me," Mayor Zhou said. "I hope today we can make progress on the investment for the chip factory. Mr. Lin, you previously announced the expansion of the chip factory. Is this something you're planning to implement soon?"

Lin Fan said, "First of all, our chip factory must be expanded. Our current production can no longer meet the demand, so this is a foregone conclusion."

Mayor Zhou felt a surge of joy in his heart and said, "Mr. Lin, I've analyzed it for you. If your chip factory needs to be expanded, Hang City can be said to be the most ideal choice."

Lin Fan said, "I would like to hear more."

Mayor Zhou said, "Mr. Lin's Mortal Group is based in Yun City, which is the core of your business empire. At this stage, Mr. Lin is still consolidating your foundation and should not expand blindly. Hang City's geographical location is very close to Yun City and complements it. This is an unparalleled geographical advantage."

"Secondly, Hang City is home to many universities and a wealth of talent. Our local universities train a large number of tech professionals every year, and as the capital city of Jiangnan Province, Hang City's economy is flourishing. We've implemented measures to attract talent, resulting in a large influx of people from all over the country each year. This certainly can fulfill the talent needs of your chip factory."

"Thirdly, Mr. Lin is originally from Jiangnan Province. Building a factory in Hang City, the capital, holds significant importance for Jiangnan. Mr. Lin is already a source of pride for Jiangnan, and in the future, you will surely be its best ambassador."

Mayor Zhou listed three reasons in one breath. Setting up a factory in Hang City indeed had numerous benefits and was, by all accounts, the optimal choice.

Lin Fan, however, remained silent and did not respond.

Mayor Zhou asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of my analysis? From every angle, Hang City is the most ideal choice. And that's just discussing the correctness of Mr. Lin coming to Hang City. Additionally, to facilitate the quick establishment of your factory, we've already prepared a comprehensive plan for full cooperation."

Lin Fan made a sound of interest. While he had decided to build a factory in Hang City, specific plans had not yet been made.

Seeing Lin Fan's interest, Mayor Zhou continued, "We've recently convened to decide to introduce leading projects, high-tech projects. This is the direction for Hang City's future. We aim to build a high-tech industry cluster. For this reason, we've prepared a full cooperation strategy for these leading projects, from site selection to project implementation, ensuring smooth progress at every step to expedite establishment."

Mayor Zhou spoke with increasing pride, believing that this proposal was hard to refuse.

"For instance, in terms of site selection, we've gathered collective wisdom to identify several candidate plots for Mr. Lin to choose from," Mayor Zhou said. "Your chip factory will be the leader among leaders in our projects."

Mayor Zhou wished Lin Fan to understand their level of emphasis on the chip factory, almost asking him to ensure Lin Fan would indeed come to Hang City.

Lin Fan said, "Mayor Zhou's words have genuinely moved me and I am very grateful. I've witnessed Hang City's enthusiasm and felt its warmth. In fact, I've always had a good impression of Hang City. Essentially, I think building a factory in Hang City is very suitable, but..."

Lin Fan paused deliberately.

The main reason for his visit today was not merely to discuss the factory plans.

What Mayor Zhou mentioned had long been part of Lin Fan's plans. With his top-level investment master skills, under its analysis, Hang City was indeed the best choice. What Mayor Zhou said was not new to Lin Fan as it coincided with his own thinking.

The only surprising element was Mayor Zhou's intense enthusiasm for him establishing a factory in Hang City, surpassing Lin Fan's expectations. The efforts by the Hang City government to facilitate the factory's quick progress were thorough.

If Lin Fan indeed decided to establish a factory in Hang City, it would provide a worry-free environment as all logistical concerns had been addressed by the Hang City government. It would be much smoother compared to his initial rise in Yun City.

Lin Fan had come today to see Mayor Zhou mainly because there was one matter; he needed to eliminate some obstacles.

"But what?" Mayor Zhou asked anxiously. His main concern was this "but"; did Lin Fan have other reservations?

Lin Fan said, "I'm not sure how to begin. I can feel the enthusiasm from the Hang City government for our chip factory. However, at the same time, there are those who do not wish for us to establish a factory here."

Mayor Zhou, stunned, asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this? Have you encountered some trouble in Hang City?"

Lin Fan said, "Indeed, to be honest, I could have met you earlier today, but I was delayed for a reason. I was ambushed on the way."

"Huh?" Mayor Zhou was astonished. "Such a thing actually happened? Are you alright, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Fan said, "Fortunately, I have some self-defense skills and managed to escape."

Mayor Zhou was furious that such an event occurred in Hang City. If Lin Fan were scared away, it would be disastrous!

"Who did it? Do you have any leads?" Mayor Zhou asked promptly.

Lin Fan said, "Do you know Liu Jinwei?"

Mayor Zhou, puzzled, said, "Yes, Liu Jinwei has very complex relationships in Hang City. Mr. Lin, could it be that Liu Jinwei is trying to stop you from coming here? That doesn't make sense; Liu Jinwei theoretically should have no conflicts of interest with you. Why would he obstruct you?"

Lin Fan said, "Because behind Liu Jinwei, there is a real mastermind."

"The Wei Family!"

Mayor Zhou blurted out in response.

This took Lin Fan by surprise; how did Mayor Zhou know it was the Wei Family?
