Chapter 344: Praise from the Japanese

Zhao Qiuhua decided to have a banquet in Shangxi Garden, which caught the staff of the Municipal Party Committee Office responsible for organizing the reception and Shangxi Garden off guard and were in a hurry.

According to Liu Weili and Pan Shihua's opinions, the ingredients, chefs and service staff needed for the dinner were all transferred from South Park immediately, and they borrowed a place for the banquet from Shangxi Garden.

If you really want to do this, it won't be particularly beneficial to Shangxi Garden.

Although the ingredients were not prepared enough and some of them needed to be seconded from South Garden, Shen Huai insisted that the chefs and service staff all use Shangxiyuan's - this in itself is also a big test and a good opportunity to improve the service level before the official camp, so Shen Huai is not worried about whether there will be some small mistakes.

Shen Huai helped Chen Tong set the big principles, and left the rest to Liu Weili and Pan Shihua, and the town government asked Li Feng to fully cooperate, and he had to go back to accompany Zhao Qiuhua and them.

Liu Weili and Pan Shihua were angry, Shen Huai was not afraid to ask Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun to eat two big green worms on the vegetable plate, they didn't dare to take this risk, and they couldn't ask Shen Huai to stay together.

Governor Zhao Qiuhua decided to stay in Shangxi Garden for a banquet, in the final analysis, he was still interested in the development of Meixi Town, and Shen Huai of course had to go over to accompany him. And the two of them, one is the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and the other is the secretary of the District Party Committee, but they can't say a word in front of Governor Zhao Qiuhua and the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee.

Although Shangxiyuan had to be busy for the sudden night banquet, another benefit was that Shen Huai had a lot of time to introduce the future development plan of Meixi Town to Zhao Qiuhua, Su Weijun, Chen Baoqi and his party in more detail.

Shen Huai didn't think that Zhao Qiuhua was a particularly capable person, and even thought that Zhao Qiuhua's level of economic engagement was much worse than Tian Jiageng's, but no matter how high Tian Jiageng's level was, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, Shen Huai had no way to invite him to Meixi Town and ask him for more resources in person.

Although Zhao Qiuhua's level is lower, as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, even as a neutral faction, it is impossible to have any special favor and support for Shen Huai, and at this time, it will be of great benefit to deepen his impression of Meixi Town and the future development of Meixi Town.

Sometimes, what the people below can't do when they break their feet and use all their strength to eat milk can be done without even a glance for a person of Zhao Qiuhua's level.

Similarly, Shen Huai hopes that some of the concepts he has implemented in the development of Meixi Town can have some subtle influence on Zhao Qiuhua, which will also have a positive effect on Huaihai Province.

Li Feng was responsible for accompanying Chen Weili and Pan Shihua to supervise Shangxiyuan to prepare for the banquet, Shen Huai and He Qingshe, Yuan Hongjun, and Huang Xinliang shouted to the side, and said: "There is still some time, and it is impossible to let Governor Zhao sit empty, I will go in now and see if I can arrange for Governor Zhao to go around from Laojie, Zhuyuan and Xinmei New Village and come back, you will immediately go separately and arrange it......"

The provincial leaders stayed for the banquet, and He Qingshe was shocked, flustered, and at a loss for what to do, but after calming down, they could all realize that this was also a good opportunity for Meixi Town.

The so-called upper is good, and the lower is very bad. The face above is blurry most of the time, and it needs to be explored below.

The ranking of the top ten towns in Huaihai is, in the final analysis, a famous hall made by Zhao Qiuhua.

Whether Meixi Town can be rated as one of the top ten towns this year, Shen Huai, He Qingshe, and Yuan Hongjun are not particularly bottom-notch, after all, Meixi Town's foundation is too poor.

But if the development achievements of Meixi Town are fully affirmed by Zhao Qiuhua this time, when the provincial selection team comes down to score in the second half of the year, if they want to deduct Meixi's points, they will weigh whether it will make Zhao Qiuhua unhappy.

As soon as Shen Huai said this, he was not afraid that Zhao Qiuhua would really be willing to come out for a walk again, and He Qingshe and they slipped out as if they had been beaten to prepare.

Shen Huai walked into the lounge and told Zhao Qiuhua, Su Weijun, and Tan Qiping what he meant.

Tan Qiping felt a little unhappy in his heart, but since they had decided to stay for the banquet and prepare the dinner, it would take an hour at the earliest, and they couldn't let Zhao Qiuhua and them run out for an hour. Besides, whether Zhao Qiuhua is willing to go around again is not up to him.

"Okay, let's go again. Zhao Qiuhua said.

On the east side of the warehouse, there are still two courtyards in the late Qing Dynasty that have not been completely cleaned up, but the landscaping of the garden has been completed, and it is Meixi Old Street through it.

Meixi Old Street has been completely renovated, and an investment of 100 million yuan may not be enough, and the financial investment of Meixi Town is 10 million, but the external environment has been renovated, the trouser river has been cleaned up, the stone road slab has been replaced, the exterior wall has been painted with white ash, and several dilapidated houses have been reinforced, but in fact, more things have not been done.

It costs several times more money to repair the old than to demolish and rebuild, and these funds are also currently unaffordable in Meixi Town.

However, after the initial transformation, the old town of Meixi is still antique, elegant and interesting in appearance. Of course, Shen Huai also truthfully reported to Zhao Qiuhua and others:

"At present, a limited number of commercial enterprises such as Shangxi Garden, Plum Garden Hotel, and Youth Hostel have been introduced to the whole street, and almost only 10 million yuan of investment has been recruited. It may take three to five years, or even longer, for the entire street to be commercialized. As the entire street is closed from east to west, the town government plans to create a small plaza in the middle of the old street by the end of this year, and build a pedestrian bridge across the Nagisa Garden, connecting with the Xinmei Xincun commercial street on the south bank. Zhuyuan is also divided into east and west, the west is residential, the east is a group of western-style buildings, there will be several enterprises to invest in the establishment of a villa-style high-end hotel, when the time comes, Governor Zhao and Secretary General Su come to Donghua again, you can live directly in Meixi Town......"

As he walked, Shen Huai introduced in more detail to Zhao Qiuhua, Su Weijun and others the municipal construction plan of Meixi Town in the next three to five years.

The first and second phases of the Xinmei New Village project have been basically occupied, the third phase of the project has been completed, and the social vegetable market has also been opened - the social commercial street of Xincun Village, although it mainly opens street shops to meet the daily needs of nearby residents, but it has been planned by Zhujiang Construction, and the appearance is much cleaner and more fashionable than the township street shops.

Zhao Qiuhua became interested, and proposed to go to the Caijiaqiao community where the relocated households were resettled. The convoy followed, and the group got in the car and went directly to the south, and arrived at the Caijiaqiao community in three to five minutes.

The first and second phases of the project have also been completed, and nearly 2,000 villagers have moved in. Shen Huai brought Song Xiaojun, who had served as the secretary of the Caijiaqiao community for a period of time, to the front and introduced the community construction and development plan to Zhao Qiuhua and others.

Meixi Town has nearly 30,000 households, less than one-sixth of the urban residents, to ensure the smooth eastward expansion of the Meixigang Industrial Park, from the Meihe Highway to the east, it is planned to move out more than 10,000 rural households within three years, and the Caijiaqiao community will be responsible for relocating half of them.

"Huaihai Province, a provincial-level development zone with better development, the planning within three years will be twenty or thirty square kilometers, Meixi's ambition is very great," Zhao Qiuhua even knew that Shen Huai was the son of Song Bingsheng, he couldn't be promoted, or too much care, but he couldn't help but sigh for the overall pattern of Meixi Town's development, and asked, "I came along the road and saw that there were many people planting trees in the land between Xinmei New Village and Caijiaqiao Society." None of these plots are going to be used?"

Shen Huai explained:

"Although attracting investment can greatly promote employment, many farmers in Meixi Town have a low literacy level and cannot meet the basic recruitment conditions of the factory, but many of them are young and middle-aged. The land has been reclaimed, and the livelihood of these villagers, who have lost their land and do not have many employment skills, is very problematic. Even if the town squeezed out a portion of the land money to subsidize their basic living expenses, and did not provide more support, they would soon become the poorest people in the town – poverty is not socialism. The town government is considering developing forestry and creating more jobs. The current greening rate of Meixi Town is extremely low, and according to statistics made in 93 years, it is less than 5%. In order to improve the overall environmental level of Meixi Town, the town government plans to increase the greening rate of the town to 15% in five years, which means that in five years, the town will plant 16,000 acres of woodland. It takes a long time to organize the green forest land, and the planning of new agricultural areas and the construction of roads must also be implemented gradually. At present, the practice of the town government is to clear out the land, as long as there is no specific planned use within three years, it will be regarded as nursery land, and the seedlings will be planted first. In this way, first, we can ensure that the greening rate of the whole town can be rapidly increased; second, when these lands are planned for specific uses, the saplings are more than three years old, and they can be transplanted into the sorted out forest land, and they can be carried out in an orderly and orderly manner; third, a large number of jobs will be created to ensure that the living standards of landless peasant households can be improved along with economic development......

"The construction funds are also completely financed by the town finance?" Zhao Qiuhua promoted the evaluation of the top ten towns, and he also had a certain amount of research on the township economy. He knew that Meixi Town's finances were relatively well-off, but no matter how generous it was, there were so many things to do, and it was definitely not a simple matter to squeeze out 16,000 acres of land in five years.

"The town squeezed out a part of it, and also asked the company for some money," Shen Huai said with a smile, pointing to Nobuo Yamazaki and Zhao Qiuhua, "When negotiating with Fuji Steel, we insisted on forcing the cost of 120 acres of forest land greening according to the proportion of 30% of the land occupied by the project." Fortunately, Fuji Steel understands this, and I would like to express my gratitude to Fuji Steel on behalf of Meixi Town......"

Nobuo Yamazaki will represent Fuji Steel as the general manager of the Japanese side and serve as the vice chairman of the board of directors of the company, responsible for leading the management and technical team of the Japanese side.

The composition of the management team of the Chinese side is an important clause that was clearly agreed upon during the negotiation process. Whether the entire operation team can maintain stability will determine whether the entire project can be constructed and operated normally.

It is impossible for "the Chinese side to remove the general manager, and the Japanese side has no feeling about it", so in order to ensure that the agreement is officially signed and the project enters the construction period normally, Tan Qiping does not dare to easily replace Zhou Ming, the Chinese general manager who has been agreed on a long time ago.

The tea spilling incident made Nobuo Yamazaki have a very bad impression of Shen Huai, but he had to admit that Shen Huai's ability to govern the local area and manage the enterprise was extremely good, beyond his imagination.

Japanese companies have invested in other parts of China, and they have never heard of paying greening fees, but Shen Huai insists on extorting one million greening fees from joint ventures, and Nobuo Yamazaki feels that this is an unusually reliable thing.

Nobuo Yamazaki didn't travel to China for a long time, less than four months before and after, but the place he traveled the most was Meixi Town.

The town is dilapidated and built quickly, but one of the things that Nobuo Yamazaki admires most is that the town's investment in greenery has a level of firmness that he would never see in other parts of China – something that was appreciated by other representatives.

Japan also attaches great importance to the way of nature, and after economic development, it has attached great importance to environmental protection. As for the entire project, which will cost more than 600 million yuan, the Japanese representatives will not care about paying an extra one or two million yuan for greening for the local government, but will care more about whether the local government and officials are reliable.

Even though Nobuo Yamazaki was dissatisfied with Shen Huai personally, he still recognized Meixi Town's plan to build 160 million forest lands within five years, especially this plan, which also included a lot of beneficial intentions.

Investment and construction of factories, the right time, place and people, lack of a difference.

The so-called time of the day is related to Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations and China's preferential development policy from zhongyāng to local economy, which should be conducive to joint ventures.

The so-called topography means that the layout of the joint venture plant should be as reasonable as possible, and it should conform to the layout thinking of the advanced steel industry; in addition, the supporting capacity of transportation, raw material supply, electricity, water supply and other industrial supporting capacity should be able to keep up, and the cost paid for it should be reasonable.

The so-called harmony is whether the Chinese management team can be stable, whether the Chinese side can provide enough cheap skilled workers, whether the local officials where the joint venture plant is located are honest, whether the governance of local law and order is effective, and whether it can provide efficient administrative services for the joint venture factory, etc., are all factors that cannot be ignored.

After repeated weighing and comparison of these comprehensive factors, Fuji Steel finally decided to build the joint venture plant into Meixi Town.

Nobuo Yamazaki wanted to show a generous leadership style in front of his team members, and when he talked to Zhao Qiuhua, he was quite objective, and praised Meixi Town, which was conducive to promoting joint venture negotiations.

Zhao Qiuhua nodded slightly, he originally planned to promote the joint venture between Fuji Steel and Provincial Steel Group, but the initiative of the joint venture was in the hands of Fuji Steel, Fuji Iron came to Donghua, and he could only take advantage of the trend and could not force it. At this time, I listened to the Japanese representative's heartfelt reassurance, and I also realized that Meixi Town has the conditions of a joint venture that are incomparable with those of the Provincial Iron and Steel Group.

However, Zhao Qiuhua also knows the national situation, Meixi Town knows that extorting 1 million from the joint venture factory will not only be able to plant 120 acres of forest land in China, but it can be seen that Nobuo Yamazaki does not have a gain or loss of 1 million at all, but really appreciates some of the practices of Meixi Town, and said with Chen Baoqi and Tan Qiping with a smile: "The valuable experience of Meixi Town, the city should summarize it well, and the province should also vigorously promote it......
