Song Guanchao was puzzled, what to show to Zheng Bihui?

On his end agreeing, there wouldn't be any difficulty on Zheng Bihui's end.

After a brief moment of confusion, Song Guanchao quickly understood why he was doing this.

This was to let Zheng Bihui know that he was being forced to agree to take a stand.

"Alright."

Song Guanchao arrived at the City Government, Li Jun's attitude towards him was quite normal, no making things difficult, no sense of superiority.

When Mayor Zheng saw the interest rate akin to a loan shark's, he wasn't as calm as Secretary Lu.

With a gloomy face, he was about to speak when Song Guanchao had already quickly mentioned Secretary Lu's decision.

He contemplated for a few seconds and said, "No problem, just go with what Secretary Lu said."

"Thank you, Mayor Zheng."

Song Guanchao smiled slyly.

After he left, Mayor Zheng started smoking, getting increasingly displeased as he thought about it.

But upon reconsideration, if the demolition compensation can't be issued, there's no point in taking a stand.

If the demolition residents cause trouble, there's no need to hold the investment conference afterwards.

"Let's see how long you can bounce around."

...

Song Guanchao revised the loan agreement, took the document back to Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng, and finally got it signed.

The next day, he drew two people from the Ministry of Propaganda and delegated the promotional mission.

A publicity budget of ten million; not a lot, but enough when used for provincial promotions.

During the weekend, the promotion started to gain traction.

Traditional print media published extensive reports, and the province and city state media covered it during primetime.

News about Lingjiang hosting the investment conference was rapidly spreading.

On Monday, October 26.

Tomorrow was the day to disburse the demolition compensation.

And today, it was originally planned that provincial and city state media, as well as Lin Wanqiu from the Ministry of Propaganda, would interview Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng.

During the interview, they would endorse the high-speed rail project.

However, when Song Guanchao arrived outside the office, he didn't see Secretary Sun.

Knocking on the door, the office was tightly locked.

He called Secretary Sun: "Secretary Sun, where is Secretary Lu?"

"Secretary Lu is out on research."

Song Guanchao's mouth formed a cold smile.

Secretary Lu was intentionally avoiding not accepting the interview.

You can't say not accepting, but rather delaying, delaying until after the 27th.

After all, if the demolition compensation can't be disbursed tomorrow, and Secretary Lu had already endorsed the project in an interview, he could easily get implicated.

"When will Secretary Lu be back?"

"Probably not until evening."

"Haha, alright, I understand."

Song Guanchao wasn't angry at all, Secretary Lu just had such tactics.

He didn't go to the City Government either.

Zheng Bihui certainly wasn't there.

He found Director He: "Contact the Audit Bureau and Finance Bureau, have them come tomorrow to oversee the disbursement of the demolition compensation."

"Also contact Chunyu Road Street Office, tomorrow there will be reporters going to interview the demolition residents, have them prepare a bit."

Since the promotion of the investment conference started, there were indeed many interested investors.

But upon inquiry, they found Lingjiang's support for this project insufficient, all remaining in a waiting stage.

Whether the demolition compensation can be disbursed is of utmost importance for potential investors.

This will directly determine whether they will invest real money or not.

Therefore, for tomorrow's disbursement of the demolition compensation, Song Guanchao prepared a major promotional campaign.

At six-thirty that evening.

During primetime on Lingjiang TV Station, their leading host Zhou Qian reported a news piece.

[Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the TV station will broadcast the entire demolition compensation disbursement process live]

At the same time, Nanjiang Province TV Station also reported the same news.

The official media account of the Ministry of Propaganda also published the same news on short video and social media platforms.

With provincial, city, and Ministry of Propaganda media warming up simultaneously, and on such a sensitive topic as the demolition compensation, it quickly attracted a lot of attention.

By nine o'clock that night, the topic [Lingjiang's full live broadcast of the demolition compensation disbursement] shot up on the trending list, maintaining high popularity.

In the public's perception, demolition equates to overnight wealth.

This type of news naturally possesses considerable topic and discussion angles.

Expectant netizens awaited as the time finally arrived on October 27.

At nine o'clock in the morning.

Outside the Zhujiang District Branch of Lingjiang Bank, dozens of media personnel gathered.

Provincial media, local media, and the heavyweight Ministry of Propaganda had all arrived.

Cameramen from various channels set up cameras connected to live broadcasts, sharing this wave of traffic.

With the warm-up from the night before, as soon as the live broadcast started, within just a few minutes, more than a hundred thousand online users flooded in.

The popularity was so high that it shot up to the top of the trending list.

Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng weren't aware of this until their secretaries informed them, prompting them to quickly open their phones.

No need to specially search, the top trending topic was directly related.

Upon clicking in, they saw the leading host of the TV station, standing in a little western suit at the door, brightly smiling while introducing the upcoming demolition compensation disbursement.

Secretary Lu furrowed his brow, what's going on?

Live broadcast of the entire demolition compensation disbursement?

Where did the money come from?

He raised his head: "Who arranged for these reporters to go?"

Secretary Sun shook his head: "Not sure."

Unable to answer any question, truly a useless fool!

Secretary Lu called the Ministry of Propaganda: "Minister Su, who arranged today's live broadcast of the demolition compensation?"

"Hello, Secretary Lu." Minister Su said: "It was arranged by Secretary Song."

Secretary Lu's heart sank, hanging up the phone.

Arranged by Song Guanchao...

Why carefully arrange for reporters to go?

Secretary Lu already had the answer in his heart, just unwilling to admit it.

The answer was, Song Guanchao had secured the demolition compensation!

But, how did he get it?

The bank wouldn't lend, where did the money come from?

This isn't twenty million, or even two billion; it's twenty billion!

Such a massive sum, how did he manage to secure it?

And without attracting attention.

He hadn't even heard a hint of it.

It's too unbelievable.

Private loans?

Does he have that capability?

Wu Qiangwei's connections?

That's quite possible.

At this moment, Zheng Bihui called.

"Secretary Lu, did you see the news?"

"I saw it."

"Did he really secure the money?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Where did he obtain it?"

"You ask me, whom should I ask?"

Even with Secretary Lu's usual composure, he felt like throwing a cup in frustration.

Mayor Zheng asked: "So the investment conference, should we really attend?"

"What do you think?"

Attending the investment conference was a must.

If they dared to be absent, Song Guanchao would certainly bring out the loan agreement with a 24% interest.

They were caught in Song Guanchao's trap!

That little scoundrel, so incredibly devious!

One thing tying into another, leaving them with no way out.

...

The city's main leaders were all watching this live broadcast.

Du Lingchun, the head of the primary branch of the Lingjiang Bank, was also watching.

Their expressions uncertain and puzzled.

Sharing the same confusion as Secretary Lu.

Where did this guy get the money from?

Did he really manage to bring things back to life?

At this moment, the bank opened its doors.

Branch manager Zhang Yue personally welcomed everyone.

Under the supervision of the Finance Bureau and Audit Bureau, bank staff began distributing the demolition compensation in batches.

When the final batch of demolition compensation was disbursed, Zhang Yue approached and said, "Secretary Song, all the demolition compensation has been completely disbursed."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

The two stood in front of the camera, smiling and shaking hands.

Zhang Yue's index finger lightly scratched his palm, Song Guanchao's eyebrow arched slightly.

This woman really likes playing with excitement?
