Chapter 454 Governor Nie Arrives

The next day, after Li Fan sorted out some chores, he went to the farm and continued to collect vegetables. Xia Menglan also came over to help.

"Li Fan, you stay busy here while I go to the county town for a run." Xia Menglan said while collecting the vegetables.

"Why are you going to the county town?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"It's not about you. Aren't you short of money?" Xia Menglan curled her lips.

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Li Fan nodded.

At this moment, Li Fan's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhou Xiaoman calling.

"Sister Xiaoman, what's wrong?" Li Fan quickly answered the phone.

"Li Fan, come here quickly, President Nie is coming to the hotel." Zhou Xiaoman urged.

"What? President Nie? Which President Nie?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"This is President Nie from Yannan Bank in the county seat. Your loan matter has been settled. President Nie is very interested in our village. I have arranged a suite on the second floor. Come over and have lunch with us to discuss it. It's about the loan." Zhou Xiaoman's words were filled with excitement.

"Really?" Li Fan also became excited. This was too late. He was worried about funds, and now the solution is here.

"Of course it's true. Come quickly." Zhou Xiaoman continued to urge.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away." Li Fan couldn't help but be a little excited. Once the funding problem could be solved, he would be free to start his career. Otherwise, he would always be constrained by the funding problem.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xia Menglan couldn't help but ask when she saw Li Fan's appearance.

"President Nie from Yannan Bank has arrived at the Pingfan Hotel. Let me take a look. There is a solution to the funding issue." Li Fan said happily.

"Am I the only one responsible for harvesting the vegetables at the farm?" Xia Menglan's eyes widened. Although she said so, she was still happy for Li Fan in her heart. This Governor Nie was a timely help.

…

Ordinary hotel, in a private room on the second floor.

A gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses and casual clothes sat on the main seat, accompanied by Li Fan and Zhou Xiaoman.

After greetings, some dishes were served one after another, and a full table was placed.

"I know Xiaoman. When she opened Zhouji Restaurant in Hongdan County, we had some cooperation. I have heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time. Since we are all friends, let's not be polite when talking. ."

"I am very optimistic about the situation in Laoshantun. I think this place is worth investing in. It is a treasure land. It turns out that Xiaoman approached me. I was a little biased at the time. To be honest, I thought Laoshantun was just a A remote village, what good investment is there in this place? Isn’t it a waste of money? Moreover, I had never heard of Laoshan Tundu at the time. It was like it appeared out of nowhere. I couldn’t accept it, so I refused at the time. , don’t mind.” Governor Nie still spoke very politely.

"It's okay. President Nie, you are here this time because you are giving me face." Zhou Xiaoman said with a smile.

Only then did Li Fan realize that it turned out that Governor Nie's arrival was facilitated by Zhou Xiaoman, and Zhou Xiaoman had been busy with this matter some time ago.

So at this time, Li Fan was full of gratitude and admiration for Zhou Xiaoman. She must have predicted that there would be problems with Li Fan's funds and provided help at the critical moment.

"But Laoshantun really popped up this time. It's a sudden rise. Not only I know about it, but people in the county also know about it. They attach great importance to Laoshantun. The next step is to invest money and vigorously develop it. I have also read Laoshantun. There are many travel guides, posts, forums, Weibo, forums, and magazines that are full of praise for Laoshantun. I think this place is worth investing in, but specifically, I I still want to come over and take a look and investigate the specific economic value. I will make an estimate from all aspects."

"Mr. Li, I already know about your lack of funds, and I understand your feelings, but this loan is not easy to get. Generally, there must be collateral and a guarantor. Xiaoman can be the guarantor. But you don’t have any collateral here, so I have to see for myself what the specific situation is like here, including the passenger flow, and some of the features you think of. You can tell me about it, so that I can make an estimate. How much money can be loaned and whether it can be loaned is also the work process. I hope you can cooperate. After all, no matter what, I don't want the bank to face risks." President Nie smiled slightly and spoke very politely.

"Yes, friends are friends, work is work, they can't be confused." Zhou Xiaoman knew what President Nie meant, so he added with a smile.

She and President Nie have worked together before and have some friendship, but this friendship cannot be used as a bargaining chip. After all, people have to bear risks.

So Zhou Xiaoman thought about inviting people over, and Li Fan had to fight for the specific loan himself.

"Yes, as long as you can understand, I can't help it." President Nie said with a smile.

His impression of Laoshantun was not very good, because all he saw were muddy dirt roads, primitive houses, and earthen walls, which gave him some pressure.

Therefore, President Nie is also considering whether this loan can be extended at this time.

At the same time, when he saw that the business of Pingfan Hotel was booming, he stopped talking. He wanted to have a comprehensive understanding of Laoshantun to make sure that this place could make money and allow Li Fan to repay the loan.

Of course, he also needs Li Fan to make a plan, which is also a necessary project.

"I understand, I understand. In fact, the current development of Laoshantun, to be honest with President Nie, we are running out of waste." Li Fan said bluntly, he must point out some bad things about Laoshantun. The purpose is To express sincerity.

Governor Nie was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Fan would say such a thing. Generally, those who want a loan will brag about their village or the project they want to carry out in order to persuade him. Like Li Fan, Those who directly point out shortcomings in this way are very few.

"Oh, waiting for something to happen is not a good word." President Nie was stunned for a while, and then smiled.

Zhou Xiaoman watched from the side, frowning, but did not interfere. She knew that Li Fan had his own way of doing things, and she didn't want to ruin it. After all, this was Li Fan's own business. Nowadays, no one can help. Some things It's up to Li Fan to solve it himself.

Of course, Zhou Xiaoman understands Li Fan and trusts Li Fan.

"It's really not a good word, but there are two words in this word that are antonyms to each other, waste and prosperity. Now Bai waste is indeed the current situation of Laoshantun. I have nothing to hide, and so do you, Governor Nie. You should be able to see that the road outside the village is still under construction. This road is very poor, not to mention the road in the village. There are low earth houses everywhere and the conditions are very poor. It can be said that Laoshantun is very backward. , and has no special characteristics." Li Fan started his lobbying, and whether he can get a loan depends almost on his introduction.

On the other side, President Nie and Zhou Xiaoman were listening carefully.

After hearing this, President Nie was not unhappy at all, but his eyes were full of appreciation.

He has seen too many people who just started talking to him. These people were afraid that the loan would fail, so they exaggerated some things. Governor Nie was very disgusted with such people. He felt that such people were very frivolous, and they were very different from frivolous people. He has no sense of security when cooperating with others.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was able to comprehensively tell the actual situation in Laoshantun without any deception or anything else. Governor Nie admired this sincerity very much.

Let's put aside the question of whether we can get a loan or whether we can cooperate. People like Li Fan are very reliable and worthy of being friends.

Even if it fails this time, if Li Fan has a good project next time, he will definitely continue to cooperate with Li Fan.

If for no other reason than his calm character.

Money is hard to come by.

Zhou Xiaoman also heard Li Fan's thoughts and smiled slightly. She is very smart. She has been in the catering industry for so many years and has seen too many people.

She and President Nie also had the same mood. When they saw someone talking eloquently, they felt conflicted from the bottom of their hearts.

Such people are just fledgling boys or some young girls who will believe it and will be deceived.

Generally speaking, those who have some social experience are most disgusted by people who only talk about the advantages and not the disadvantages. If they don't talk about anything else, they are not sincere and they are just here for business. They only care about their own business and don't care about your benefits. bad.

For such people, they have cooperated once, and if they succeed, they will continue to cooperate. If they fail, there will be no possibility of cooperation again.

Because such people will be labeled as unreliable in the future.

But Li Fan was the complete opposite. President Nie saw only sincerity in Li Fan's eyes, and he also wanted to listen carefully to every word Li Fan said.

"Yes, to be honest, when I first saw your village, it seemed as if it had gone back decades. It's not too much. The village is too backward. Wouldn't this be harsh?" President Nie saw Li Fan. He was so sincere and expressed his views sincerely.

"Seek truth from facts. If it doesn't work, it won't work. If you say the village is good, I think you are mocking us. These are all things we know well. It is true." Li Fan smiled, and soon he The smile softened.

I became a little helpless.

President Nie also smiled beside him and continued to listen carefully to what Li Fan said.

"It is no exaggeration to say that Laoshantun is an extremely poor village. Why don't the village renovate the houses? It's because everyone is barely able to eat, so how can they have time to take care of the house? And when Laoshantun is gone, I, Mr. Nie, I won’t hide it from you. You can also find out that a chemical plant was built in Laoshantun for several years and polluted the environment. This was a fatal blow to our already poor Laoshantun. Some I must let you know." Li Fan said sincerely.

President Nie was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "It's okay. If you talk like this, I will believe you because you don't cheat and trust me. We are based on mutual trust and not hiding anything. Cooperation is absolutely possible.”
