Chapter 171 Meeting Secretary Bai
"By the way, you won't be in such a rush this time, will you?"
Secretary Bai Bin then asked.
"Yes, I'll probably stay for a while this time."
Zhao Yuan nodded in agreement.
"That's wonderful! In that case, I wonder what new plans or ideas you have for your hometown this year?"
Secretary Bai Bin looked at Zhao Yuan with great interest, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Preparations for the Huzhou branch of 'Zhao's Kitchen' are about to begin! My primary task upon returning is to find a suitable location. Also, our Zhao's Food Factory is due for expansion; our current four factories are far from meeting the ever-growing market demand. Therefore, I've come specifically to earnestly request your support, Secretary Bai!"
Zhao Yuan said with a big smile.
Secretary Bai Bin responded with a smile, "Of course, Mr. Zhao, may I ask how much land area you plan to apply for this time?"
After a moment's thought, Zhao Yuan replied:
"We'll have to trouble Secretary Bai to approve another 200 mu of land for us. This land will be used specifically for the construction of the food factory branch."
Secretary Bai Bin readily nodded in agreement:
"No problem. As long as the land use needs are reasonable and compliant, our government will fully support them. Mr. Zhao, do you have a preferred site for your factory? Please feel free to suggest it. Our provincial party committee warmly welcomes outstanding entrepreneurs like you to return to your hometown to invest and build factories, thus boosting the local economy!"
Zhao Yuan frowned slightly and asked:
"Um... Secretary Bai, I'd like to know first, what plots of land are currently available for building factories?"
Secretary Bai Bin said with a smile:
"I'll call Director Liu of the Construction Committee right away and ask them to send over the blueprints as soon as possible. Let's have dinner together tonight to welcome you back, Mr. Zhao! Director Qi, Secretary Luo, and Lao Gu have been looking forward to your return so we can all get together."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan quickly replied:
"That's great! But I need to finalize the job here as soon as possible, since there are still many things waiting for me to arrange back in Jinyang County. I'll go to the factory first to check on the situation. As for dinner, I'll take care of the arrangements and let everyone know later."
After saying that, he prepared to stand up.
However, Secretary Bai Bin quickly stopped him and said:
"Oh dear, Mr. Zhao, you've just returned. It's only right that we, as the hosts, should properly entertain you. Just leave the dinner arrangements to my secretary."
Zhao Yuan gently shook his head and said to Secretary Bai Bin with a sincere expression:
“Secretary Bai, you’re being too polite! You’ve all helped me a lot these past few days. In the future, both Zhao’s Food Factory and Zhao’s Kitchen will need your continued support. So I must arrange this dinner, and I’ll need your help in deciding which important people to invite. It’s settled then. I’ll head back to the factory now to take care of some things; it’s been several months since I’ve been back.”
Zhao Yuan spoke with a smile, his steps already heading towards the door.
"Then I won't fight you for it anymore. Okay, see you for dinner."
Secretary Bai Bin personally escorted Zhao Yuan to the door and warmly bid him farewell. "Goodbye," Zhao Yuan said with a smile, waving to Secretary Bai Bin as he steadily walked down the stairs.
At this moment, Driver Jiang and Factory Director Zhou of Zhao's Food Factory were already anxiously waiting for Zhao Yuan's arrival downstairs.
Upon seeing Zhao Yuan appear, the two of them shouted in unison:
"Mr. Zhao."
Factory Director Zhou Nan had a big smile on his face, while the driver, Xiao Jiang, stood respectfully to the side.
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly in response:
"Yes, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's hurry back to the factory."
After saying that, he got into the car first, and the others followed suit. With the roar of the engine, the car slowly started and sped towards Zhao's Food Factory No. 3.
Zhaoshi Food Factory No. 3 is located in the southeast of Huzhou Province, a location with a superior geographical location and convenient transportation.
Today, in addition to Zhao Yuan's factory, this area has attracted three other companies to set up factories here.
As one of the earliest companies to enter this area, Zhao Yuan's "Zhao's Food Factory" has grown rapidly thanks to its high-quality products and good reputation.
Next to Zhao's Food Factory, there is still a large vacant lot of land lying idle.
Zhao Yuan noticed this with keen eyes, and he instructed Xiao Jiang to drive around these open areas.
After the car came to a stop, Zhao Yuan couldn't wait to get out and carefully examine the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Factory Director Zhou Nan, who had been following along, couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Mr. Zhao, are you planning to expand our factory?"
“That’s right. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate for us to expand the factory here and concentrate all the buildings and facilities in one place. This would make both production and daily management much more convenient.”
Zhao Yuan said with a firm gaze.
"That's true, but I don't know if this area has been planned in advance. If it's already been used for something else, then we'll have to find another way."
Zhou Nan frowned slightly and replied thoughtfully.
"Well, don't worry, the truth will come out tonight. Go and inform the office to reserve a lavish meal for tonight, something high-class is a must. We need to treat Secretary Bai and the leaders of the Construction Committee to a proper feast, and also find out some information about the planning for this land."
Zhao Yuan gave his instructions methodically.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away!"
Factory Director Zhou Nan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Zhou Nan then reported to Zhao Yuan, "Mr. Zhao, by the way, there's something else I wanted to report to you. Mr. Zhou had already given us some pointers, so we've been using all our connections to find suitable locations for opening a 'Zhao's Kitchen' branch. We've found several good spots, and we're just waiting for your approval. How about we go and inspect them together tomorrow before making a final decision? Ideally, we'd like to find a location with convenient transportation and easy parking."
"Haha, you guys are pretty efficient! Okay, let's go take a look together tomorrow and try to finalize it as soon as possible."
Zhao Yuan replied with a satisfied smile.
"Hmm, how's things at the factory lately?"
Zhao Yuan asked in a steady tone, his brows furrowed slightly as he pondered.
Zhou Nan quickly replied:
"Since the Spring Festival Gala we sponsored aired, the effect has been immediate!"
