Chapter 546 Negotiations in the County
When Meng Chuan returned to the Liu family villa, it was already afternoon.
Mom is cooking.
My dad has already gone back to the countryside.
For the elderly couple, keeping chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs at home was something they couldn't bear to part with.
However, after Meng Chuan informed them, the two elders were temporarily safe.
There shouldn't be anyone who would dare to have any ill intentions towards the two elders.
After all, even a top-tier club like Rothschild suffered a great loss at Meng Chuan's hands, losing both his wife and his army.
Therefore, Meng Chuan was not worried about his father's safety.
Mom was happiest about Meng Chuan's sudden return.
Liu Qian is still at work.
When she came home from get off work and saw Meng Chuan, she was incredibly excited.
Meng Chuan's parents thought he was in Shanghai, but only Liu Qian knew that he had gone to the United States.
Because of the time difference, it was inconvenient for Liu Qian to call Meng Chuan.
Therefore, Liu Qian has been extremely worried about Meng Chuan during this period of time.
Knowing that Meng Chuan had returned home, Liu Fu and Liu Dong also clamored to come back in the next couple of days.
After all, Liu Fu had already made an appointment with Meng Chuan to have a meal together sometime.
The Liu Group's current market value is close to one trillion.
This was practically the ceiling for real estate companies in 2015.
But they knew that all of this was thanks to Meng Chuan.
Since Meng Chuan had come back, they naturally wanted to put aside all their work and come back to spend time with him.
However, the next day, after Liu Qian went to work, Meng Chuan was also bored.
Therefore, Meng Chuan took Ying Die directly to the county government building.
The entire government building was in an uproar when it was announced that Meng Chuan was coming.
First of all, Meng Chuan is now no less than a celebrity.
Secondly, they all know that Meng Chuan's current net worth is frighteningly high.
The combined market value of all the companies Meng Chuan controls is several trillion.
Moreover, Meng Chuan has made significant contributions to the development of his hometown.
In terms of tourism, leveraging Mengchuan's prestigious brand, it can bring in over 100 million yuan in tourism revenue for the county every year.
When such a big boss returns to his hometown, the scene is bound to be grand.
Almost all the heads of various departments in the county gathered in their offices in the government building.
If Meng Chuan hadn't repeatedly emphasized the need to keep a low profile when he contacted Wu County by phone...
Wu County officials were so eager that they wanted to lead the entire county leadership team to welcome Meng Chuan at the county government gate.
This is the biggest celebrity, the biggest businessman, and the biggest contributor in the entire county.
No amount of welcoming protocol is excessive.
When Meng Chuan and Ying Die entered the Hall of Memories.
More than twenty leadership teams, led by Wu County, all stood up to welcome Meng Chuan.
"Meng, it's been a long time! Your achievements are making us old folks, who are so many years older than you, feel quite ashamed."
Wu Xian shook Meng Chuan's hand with great enthusiasm.
When Meng Chuan clarified Wang Ling's accusations during his live broadcast.
Wuxian could still stand tall and proud in front of Mengchuan, looking like a gratified elder looking at a younger generation.
But now, standing in front of Meng Chuan, he didn't feel any pressure.
He even knew that Meng Chuan had returned to the village several times, but Meng Chuan had not contacted him, so he didn't dare to contact Meng Chuan first.
After all, their social statuses are too different.
Given Meng Chuan's current status, even if he went to the provincial capital, he would be treated as an honored guest.
Furthermore, since Meng Chuan came on his own initiative, he must have something to discuss.
And it will most likely be related to business.
If Meng Chuan were to invest money in developing his hometown, that would be something they would be more than happy to do!
How could they not be enthusiastic towards such a god of wealth?
They even arranged for the county's television station to record the entire event.
The county news station will have material tonight.
"That's different. You are all local officials, and the people of the entire county depend on you! In fact, you are the ones who have done the most meritorious deeds!"
Meng Chuan naturally didn't hold back his compliments.
Everyone carries a sedan chair, since nice words don't cost anything.
Moreover, Meng Chuan was quite satisfied with the county's leadership team.
At least regarding what happened to Meng Chuan, they took it very seriously.
Regarding village development, the living conditions of the entire village have been greatly improved.
In this respect, it is indeed the leadership team's achievement.
After taking their seats and exchanging a few more pleasantries, Meng Chuan got straight to the point.
"I'm dissatisfied with Wu County, so I came back this time to invest in my hometown."
If it's not very informative, just say a few words.
Meng Chuan didn't have the patience to say too much.
“That’s great. I knew Meng wouldn’t forget his hometown.”
Wu County immediately became excited:
"Tell me, what project do you want to invest in, and how do you need the county's cooperation?"
Everyone else sat up straight and looked at Meng Chuan.
"I want to invest in building schools."
The room fell silent as soon as Meng Chuan said this.
Investing in schools? That kind of investment doesn't seem to match Meng Chuan's current net worth!
How many people are there in the county?
Moreover, the county's educational resources are not excessive, but at least sufficient.
At this time, Meng Chuan's foray into the education sector was not a project that the county urgently needed.
The county urgently needs to invest in factories.
Only factories can provide a large number of jobs for the county.
It can also boost the county's economy.
"Um... Meng, are you sure you want to invest in the school? What are you planning to do...?"
Wu Xian hesitated for a moment before speaking.
But Meng Chuan interrupted:
"What I want to build is a university. Conservatively speaking, my initial investment will not be less than 1000 billion yuan, and there is no upper limit."
As soon as Meng Chuan said this, a lot of people gasped in shock.
1000 million?
Everyone present was knowledgeable.
They are aware of the concept of 1000 billion and no upper limit.
"Meng Chuan, are you telling the truth?"
Wu Xian's hands were trembling with excitement.
The county has enough educational resources, but it doesn't have a university!
If Meng Chuan really wants to build a university and invests 1000 billion yuan, it can definitely be developed into a world-class university.
As long as the school is good, students from all over the country will come to study there.
As long as students come to read, it can bring in a large flow of people.
With so many people around, why would they be afraid of a bad economy?
It can be said that factories can only solve immediate problems, while schools are the fundamental driving force for addressing them.
Why are so many people flocking to the city?
Isn't it because the provincial capital has better medical care and education?
"How could I possibly joke about something like this with County Wu?"
Meng Chuan looked at Wu County with a smile.
"Um...maybe my question sounds a bit silly, but I still want to ask, why did you choose not to build a university in our county? Actually, the provincial capital..."
Wu Xian looked at Meng Chuan with a wry smile.
In terms of convenience, the provincial capital is definitely better.
In this county town, it was somewhat shabby.
“I am a talent cultivated by our county, so naturally I should give priority to the county.”
Meng Chuan said, half-jokingly:
"I can handle the faculty situation, and I'm absolutely confident that I can build it into a world-class university. However, the area I need might be quite large. I'm wondering where Wuxian County thinks would be a good location to build it?"
Wu Xian immediately looked at a middle-aged man and said:
"Old Jiang, you're in charge of land and resources, pull out the county's map, and let's study it together."
"Yes!"
