On the night the economic forum ended, Wendy took the private airplane and led J W Company’s
executive team straight to Harbor City..
JW Company’s trip was an official activity, so they informed the officials at Harbor City before setting
out.
Thus, two directors from the finance and business planning division accompanied the deputy chief
executive to welcome them personally.
Harbor City was a special administrative region. The deputy chief director here had a higher position on
the hierarchy than the grand magistrates of top provinces..
This also meant they were being treated
with the utmost respect.
Having said that, Wendy was the current president and chief financial officer of JW Company, so she
deserved to receive this special treatment.
At this moment, the press conference hosted by Joe, Sawyer, and Kennedy in the United States had
just ended. At the same time, the economic forum hosted by Jasper in Somerland had just finished as
well. It was an odd time.
All this news had washed over Harbor City’s business circle like a hailstorm, and new versions of
gossip popped up all over the place. Wendy’s visit on behalf of JW Company now was dissected by
countless people and converted into countless different theories.
However, no matter which person you got your gossip from, the core message did not change. There
was no doubt JW Company was here because they wanted t o do something about the press
conference the three families hosted.
Everyone gazed intently at Harbor City’s government buildings, awaiting the outcome of Wendy’s
meeting with the Harbor City government.
Harbor City’s government officials did
not make everyone wait for too long.
Seen, another press conference was
bested where the Harbor City government
and JW Company announced the
outcomes of their meeting to the public.
“Firstly, I would like to extend a warm
welcome to the reporters who came. My
name is Zachariah Quigley, and I am the
director of the Department of Business
Planning, I’m here today as a
representative of the Harbor City
government in making a statement to the
public.”
Zachariah, who wore glasses, gazed at the
crowd of reporters beneath him and
smiled before holding the document he
held up in his hands and read, “After a
friendly discussion between the Harbor
City government and JW Company, the
government and JW Company have
arrived at an agreement that is in
accordance with the law and official
policies.
“Firstly, the Harbor City government will
provide tax incentives to JW Company.
The details are as follows: the
corporation’s income tax will be reduced b
y 70% for the first three years, and 40% for the next five years, and they will also get a 20% reduction
on their business taxes.
“Secondly, the Harbor City will sell the following pieces of land to JW Company: Sharp Promenade,
which is located in the Nine Dragon Area of Harbor City, as well a s Lot C13 and Lot A55 on the west
end of Victoria Harbor. Since these two pieces of land belong to the Harbor City
government, the transaction will not need to go through an auctioning process. The Harbor City
government will transfer them into JW Company’s accounts right away. All proceeds will be used in
improving Harbor City’s infrastructure.
“Thirdly, the Harbor City government will now focus on checking the reasonableness of all commercial
activities in Harbor City, and anyone caught breaking the rules will face serious consequences.
“Fourthly, the Harbor City government will be lifting all former restrictions imposed on several imported
and exported products. The first batch of products that will have restrictions lifted
includes rubber, rubber-made products, and all raw materials needed for rubber processing. These
aforementioned products will have their import restrictions fully lifted.”
The contents of the agreement seemed fine, except for the second and third articles.
The meaning behind the second one was clear. The Harbor City government was selling land that had
belonged to the Harbor City government to JW Company. I t might seem like an illogical thing to do, but
there was nothing much worth discussing.
Usually, land that was sold using legal methods had to go through an auction because the land did not
belong to the government. According to the constitution, the land belonged to the state, and thus,
meant it belonged to the country’s people.
The government was just a representative who took care of the land on behalf of the country’s people.
Since it belonged to the state, it could not be sold as one wished, and instead had to go through an
auction t o be sold to whoever bid the highest. It was a fair-and-square process.
However, if the land belonged to the government, they would then be one of the parties signing the
contract. There was no difference in how companies were treated compared to individuals, and it was
perfectly alright for them to sell their land privately.
These two pieces of land were the most precious pieces of land in Harbor City, which itself had a
scarce supply of land. Therefore, many people had tried countless ways to obtain that land for
themselves, but had always failed.
